Chapter 17 - A Bloodline and Constitution
Ding!
It was relatively late in the evening, roughly after 10:00 pm, when the System woke Xin Jin from a pleasant dream.
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed your mission. Your reward is 10,000 Luck Points and 5000 Charm Points.]
[Would you like to see your current stats?]
Jewel, The System, asked after giving out his rewards.
'Yes please.' He said silently while also keeping his eyes closed.

Xin Jin looked over his status, even though not much had changed since the last time, it still filled him with a minor sense of accomplishment seeing the values increase each time he did.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
'Have you finished the analysis of Han Yi?' He asked the System as it had definitely been more than just a couple hours.
[I have indeed. Would you like to hear the results?]
'Of course.' Xin Jin quietly nodded his head.
[After a thorough analysis of Han Yi's body, I have discovered that there is indeed something above average about her.]
Xin Jin remained silent, allowing the System to continue its explanation.
[As it would seem, despite not possessing any Bloodline with special features, she was born with a decently rare physique.]
'And?' Xin Jin pushed after yet another pause.
[Pooh. Your no fun. Don't you know what it means to build suspense?]
'.....'
[Fine. She has the 'Two Hearts, One Soul' Body. It can be considered in the top 5 physiques when it comes to Dual Cultivation.]
'Dual Cultivation? Like Cultivating while having sex?' He asked a little unsure.
[Indeed. Though, the 'Two Hearts, One Soul' Body is unique in the aspect that only the owners chosen partner can receive any benefits.]
'So, If she ever chooses to be with someone, only that one person can ever increase their Cultivation level?' Xin Jin asked
[Exactly. You can think of it like choosing a Soul Mate.] The System finished explaining.
Xin Jin pondered over the new information he had about Han Yi.
However, he wasn't thinking about using her for her physique.
First of all, she was too young.
Even if she would technically be old enough to bed at 16, that was by this worlds standard. Sure, some places on earth had the age of consent at that age, but it wasn't to his taste.
Secondly, he had only recently taken her in with Luo Mei, and they both treated her akin to a little sister.
The only conclusion he could come to at the present moment was that he should probably hire a personal guard to watch over her to make sure no scummy hot shot tries to cheat Han Yi while he or Luo Mei weren't around.
'Is that all?' Xin Jin asked Jewel after a few moments of contemplation.
[No, I actually have another report for you, and this one is about something curious I discovered about Gu Xian'er during your lovemaking.]
'Oh?' Xin Jin furrowed his brow slightly as he thought of what it might be, when suddenly something clicked in his memory.
'Does it have something to do with the strong attraction I had to her when we met?' He guessed
[Indeed. As it happens, Gu Xian'er has a remnant Bloodline of a Phoenix. Even though it can be considered to be diluted, most likely inherited from a Great-grandparent, it still provides a relatively decent increase to Cultivation speed as well as small increase in the ability to influence fate.]
Xin Jin was slightly taken aback as he wasn't expecting to run into two individuals back-to-back that possessed some type of hidden potential.
But after some thought, he realized that it only made sense.
Even though his Luck could already be described as otherworldly, it was only a matter of time until more ridiculous things started happening.
That is of course given he was still alive to witness it.
'Does this remnant bloodline also have something to do with the difference in LP and CP between Luo Mei and Gu Xian'er?' He asked as he started to put some pieces together.
[Correct. Things such as Constitution, Bloodline, Family/Sect Backing, as well as Cultivation Level all have an influence on the values each mission gives out.] The System explained thoroughly.
It was the same as he had guessed.
'Anything else?' He finally asked after 20 seconds of silence.
[Not presently.]
'Okay, thanks for the info.' Xin Jin said before falling back to sleep.
.....
The next morning, just before sunrise, the movement of another person woke Xin Jin up.
His eyes, still a little blurry after waking up, saw the lithe back of a beauty as Gu Xian'er sat on the edge of the bed as she wrapped herself in a warm blanket.
"Good Morning." He said with a charming smile as he sat up as well.
"Morning." Gu Xian'er replied with a blush as she turned to look at Xin Jin.
"Would you like to take a bath?" she suggested after thinking that they had spent all night in such an unclean state.
"Sure." Xin Jin replied with a slight nod as he got out of bed.
Gu Xian'er was about to get up as well to follow, but was surprised when two strong arms lifted her off the mattress and proceeded to carry her princess style towards the bath.
While Xin Jin was carrying his newest playmate, he couldn't help but chuckle as she buried her face in his neck, trying to hide her embarrassment from his sight, which she obviously failed to do.
The first thought to cross his mind when he saw this was a term invented in his previous world, Gap Moe.
It would seem that even though Gu Xian'er liked to put on the front of a fiesty boss lady, she was still a young maiden at heart.
This was something he could work with for sure.
The only problem he could think of right now as the two of them entered the steaming water of the incredibly luxurious bath, was how he was going to introduce Gu Xian'er to the other girls.
'Shit...This might be a problem.' He sighed internally.
