9. Head pat! The main theme is pure love! (Please follow)

"It's the treasure Master needs!"

The girl wiped away her tears and took out a small, crystal-clear, perfectly round blue pill from the storage bag.

"Eh, isn't this...."

"The real Nine Revolution Soul Solidifying Pill?"

Bai Feng recognized it at first glance. It was the very Nine Revolution Soul Solidifying Pill that was demanded by Bail Qingling from Cen Xing'er in the original game's storyline!

"Bail Qingling, being naturally cautious, initially planned to take this Nine Revolution Soul Solidifying Pill and then merge with his primordial path foundation to reduce rejection reactions. Yet, he never thought.... Xiao Chen used Cen Xing'er to switch it with the Soul Devouring Powder, setting the stage for his downfall."

"In the game, this ninth-grade precious pill used to greatly enhance the divine soul only appeared in the item illustration, with no way for players to obtain it!"

"And now.... it's truly presented before me!"

Excited inside, Bai Feng casually said: "Oh, so it's the Nine Revolution Soul Solidifying Pill. Didn't expect you really refined it."

"Master's orders! How could Xing'er dare to be negligent!"

Cen Xing'er's eyes sparkled, looking at the tall man as if gazing at a deity:

"Ever since Master gave the order, in these three months, Xing'er traveled back and forth between the Spirit Herb Garden and Demon Plantation, collecting herbs for refining the elixir."

"Because Master specifically instructed that this must not be known by others, once the prescriptions were gathered, Xing'er personally went to the Pill Workshop, refining day and night, never leaving a step!"

"Even.... even when the true fire of the pill furnace made my eyes so dizzy that I couldn't open them, Xing'er used the Cold Ice Technique to stimulate her eyes and force herself to stay awake!"

"In short, not a moment of slack! Please rest assured, Master!"

Bai Feng said: "In that case, you've truly worked hard."

Hearing this, the girl's pupils broadened, and she was dumbfounded.

Oh my....

Master actually.... spoke to me like this?

He said to me.... that I've worked hard?

And used such a gentle tone!?

Instantly, the girl's eyes turned red again.

Her beautiful eyes gazed infatuatedly at the handsome man on the throne, whose expression was unusually gentle, feeling that all of this was like a dream!

"No! Xing'er isn't tired!"

After a moment, Cen Xing'er snapped back to reality, shaking her head continuously, the bell on her neck jingling along.

"But...."

"If Master thinks Xing'er did reasonably well, could you...."

Not knowing where the courage came from, the girl crawled cleverly to the man's throne, raising her beautiful blush-touched face, slightly parting her rosy lips, exhaling fragrant words:

"Please reward Xing'er once, Master?"

What the hell?

What is she saying?

Bai Feng was slightly stunned.

Master and disciple, one kneeling and one sitting, looked at each other.

The atmosphere seemed a bit..... subtle.

In a trance, Bai Feng finally remembered something and nodded,

"Okay."

With that said.

He raised his pale and sturdy right arm, with the broad and solid palm, gently covering the top of the girl's head.

Softly stroking her soft hair.

Throughout the process, the girl was exceedingly obedient; till the end, she simply closed her eyes enjoying, using her blushing cheek to rub against this warm big hand...

This compliant, cute posture was just like a cat clinging to its owner!

"So fond of it....."

"Xing'er really likes Master's touch....."

The girl's rosy lips pouted slightly, the blush on her face spreading to her ears, seemingly entering a state of extreme joy!

"It's just a head pat, does this girl have to be so invested?"

Bai Feng found it somewhat amusing and exasperating.

Just about to withdraw his arm.

Suddenly, a familiar electronic sound rang out:

Ding!

"Congratulations Host! Successfully spread great love!"

"Gained Points: 500! Current balance: 1000 points."

Ding!

"The system shop is now open!"

"The host can go to the shop to exchange points for items!"

....

Head pats forever! Eternally cherished!

Focusing on pure love!

Bai Feng felt comfortable inside.

Although for now, not knowing what exactly the system shop contains, saving points must be the right choice!

....

....

Cangming Sect, Yin Gui Palace, Palace Master's Chamber.

A woman, with an elegant hairstyle and draped in a scarlet long dress, stood by the window, looking towards the northern sky.

As if she had something on her mind.

Upon seeing her graceful figure, voluptuous yet slender, though her face was obscured by a snowy, mysterious veil making it impossible to see her full appearance, just showing those alluring eyes was enough to captivate souls.

She is one of the four palace masters, second only in status to the Sect Master in Cangming Sect, the Palace Master of Yin Gui Palace—

"Embroidered Face Saint Maiden", Hua Yuerong!

"Disciple Xiao Chen, pays respects to Master!"

A handsome young man strode into the hall, reporting solemnly.

Interrupted by the other, Hua Yuerong was taken aback and then frowned as if slightly displeased: "Chen'er, you've become more and more unruly, daring to intrude into my chamber!"

"I...."

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and said: "Reporting to Master, this disciple knows Master will soon seclude herself today, so I wanted to report something important before that! The situation is urgent, I beg Master's forgiveness!"

"Hmph."

Hua Yuerong snorted coldly, turned her back, "Speak, what is it."

"Master...."

Xiao Chen softly called her, after ensuring there was no one around, he stepped forward, "I presume you've also heard of the recent rumors...."

"That Youluo Palace Master Bail Qingling has been drained of mana by the Ethereal Cloud Palace's 'Ancestral Saintess' Mu Xinlan and is now struggling in the Blood Kitchen!"

"Such rumors need no attention."

Hua Yuerong cast a chilling glance at her disciple, "Chen'er, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Xiao Chen said eagerly: "This disciple, having a good relationship with Youluo Palace's third disciple Cen Xing'er, learned from her today that Bail Qingling not only lost all his mana but is also poisoned by a strange and fierce toxin, hanging on by a thread!"

"Moreover, now is also when the restrictions outside the Blood Kitchen are at their weakest!"

"Master can secretly go to the Youluo Palace, enter the Blood Kitchen, and kill Bail Qingling!"

"With the ancestor's lifetime nearing its end, the sect's members are getting restless and the election of a new Sect Master is imperative! As long as you eliminate Bail Qingling, Master is the only choice for the next Sect Master!"

The young man kneeled, doing his utmost to appear obedient and sincere.

However, the next moment—

Smack!

A slap with full force landed on the young man's face!

Boom! Sizzle!

The terrifying true power poured through his body!

Directly slapped the young man, spitting blood, his legs leaving the ground, flying several meters back!

"Master, you....."

Xiao Chen forced himself to stand up, looking in shock at the elegant silhouette ahead.

"Hmph, just with you, dare to talk about killing Bail Qingling?"

"You don't understand his terror."

Hua Yuerong looked out the window, involving a noticeable hint of reverence in her charming eyes: "Leaving aside the widely spread rumor about Mu Xinlan and Bail Qingling's battle, whether it's true or not."

"Bail Qingling, with a naturally suspicious, sinister, and deceitful nature, is well-known! Do you think he would leave a disciple who could leak his secret at any time by his side and permit her to freely enter and exit the Blood Kitchen?"

"Heh, so Master means.... Bail Qingling deliberately let his disciple release false information to lure our Yin Gui Palace into making a move, right?"

Xiao Chen sneered, his gaze hinting a trace of anger.

"If the battle between Mu Xinlan and Bail Qingling is false."

"Then the information Cen Xing'er gave you is even less credible!"

Hua Yuerong's eyes grew colder: "You must know, Bail Qingling was once the grand disciple of demon path alchemy master, Evil Pharmacist. His skills in alchemy have reached unprecedented heights, outshining his teacher! So tell me, what kind of poisonous elixir could render him helpless?"

"Hmph, Master! You're underestimating people too much!"

Xiao Chen couldn't take it anymore and burst out: "This elixir was from my master...."

"What did you say?"

Hua Yuerong slightly frowned.

Xiao Chen realized his slip and quickly corrected, "Master, this disciple was wrong! As you said, the toxin must be a false lead by Bail Qingling, meant to trap others!"

"You understand, that's good."

"Leave now! I'm going into seclusion!"

Hua Yuerong waved her sleeve, the overwhelming force of Yin Evil blasted out, directly ejecting the young man at the entrance.

Meanwhile, all surrounding doors and windows closed.

In the vast chamber, only a sorrowful and beautiful silhouette remained.

"Senior brother, oh senior brother, back then you killed our master, cursed and killed hundreds of fellow disciples, yet left my life alone, was it to plant hate deeply inside me, for vengeance?"

"You've succeeded."

"Now, I've risen to be on equal footing with you, the Palace Master of Yin Gui Palace, yet all these years, you've never realized my identity."

"As for those rumors spread by hypocrites of the righteous path... hehe, utterly ridiculous."

"Mu Xinlan, although extremely powerful, I do not think she can surpass your myriad gu poisons and tricks."

"As your junior sister, no one understands your terror better than me."

"Just wait, your life will eventually end by my hands, Hua Yuerong's."

"Bail——Qing——Ling!"
