"You're just being threatened by Jing Yuan..." Fu Xuan's eyes suddenly opened, her golden irises locking onto Bochang. "This venerable one merely decided to indulge your impudent request based on the divination results."

"If you don't want me to lift you high, I'll be leaving now."

With Master Diviner already expressing herself this clearly, how could Bochang back down?

After all, Fu Xuan had agreed.

Taking a deep breath, Bochang's hands, resting gently on her delicate shoulders, immediately moved downward, slipping beneath her armpits.

Fu Xuan's attire featured a high chestline, exposing both her shoulders and back. As his large hands positioned under her armpits, they brushed against her smooth, hairless skin.

Then...

Bochang effortlessly lifted Fu Xuan up, carrying her as if she were a child.

Being treated this way at her age, the Master Diviner blushed deeply, her pearly teeth lightly biting her soft red lips.

Her bashful demeanor brought a wave of delight to Bochang's heart, causing an involuntary gentlemanly smile to grace his face.

He lifted her up...

Then put her down...

Lifted her up again...

And put her down once more...

"Have you had enough fun yet?" From her elevated position, Fu Xuan looked down with mild irritation at Bochang.

Master Diviner's body was remarkably soft and light. The intricately patterned white stockings adorning her shapely legs were even more enticing.

"Not yet," Bochang replied truthfully. Since the system's notification hadn't sounded, it meant he wasn't finished.

Seeing this...

Fu Xuan resigned herself, closing her eyes.

So, Bochang continued lifting her several more times.

"Now is that enough?" Fu Xuan couldn't help but express her impatience; she certainly didn't enjoy being hoisted like this.

However, the system's voice still remained silent.

Bochang suggested, "Almost there, hmm... perhaps my earlier embrace wasn't quite right, so we need to try again."

Analyzing the situation based on these words,

Apart from the improper hug, it was possible that Fu Xuan had not yet agreed to accept the teleportation ring.

Considering these two distinct factors...

"Don't push your luck too far." Fu Xuan began to struggle, her delicate foot gently kicking Bochang's chest...

Using this momentum, Master Diviner swiftly broke free from his grasp and floated backward.

The flowing silk garments danced gracefully in the air as Fu Xuan landed elegantly.

"Does this venerable one seem so easily embraced at your whim?"

If Bochang truly wished, Fu Xuan would have been unable to escape. However, he held back, allowing her to depart without force. Bochang understood the principle of avoiding excess; moderation was key.

Noticing that the system hadn't signaled a task failure, Bochang continued, "No embrace then, but...the teleportation ring, Master Diviner, you must accept."

"You're quite peculiar. Very well, if you insist, I shall reluctantly take it," Fu Xuan acquiesced.

At that precise moment...

the system's notification sounded.

[Reward being distributed - Congratulations! Your strength has been increased by 100%.]

A warm sensation flowed throughout Bochang's body.

His strength rose from thirty-two times that of an average person to sixty-four times.

Now, his strength surpassed his forty-eight times enhanced physique.

Every muscle in his body underwent tearing and restructuring, becoming even more powerful and robust.

Despite no significant change in appearance,

Bochang's physical attributes continued to improve, likely making his internal structure vastly different from that of a normal human.

"Huh? It actually worked? So I didn't need to hug again..."

Bochang breathed a sigh of relief.

With this, the task was successfully completed.

Fu Xuan turned sideways, glancing at him skeptically, and said, "Didn't you promise me a teleportation ring?"

"Ah... I don't have one currently, but please wait for it."

Bochang scratched his head, feeling uneasy.

Fu Xuan slowly typed out a question mark, implying, "Are you here just to tease me?"

"No, not at all... Whenever I obtain a teleportation ring, I'll definitely deliver it to Master Diviner," Bochang responded.

As for the agreement with the fake Tingyun, it naturally became void.

Chances were high that the person who made the pact that night was actually Phantylia.

With her now driven away and both parties being adversaries, Bochang obviously had no obligation to fulfill the agreement.

Fu Xuan placed her hands on her hips, paused briefly, then moved a chair closer and sat down. "Didn't you claim to have many items? Bring them out one by one for this venerable one to examine."

"Oh, there's quite a lot. Let's see... For example, this banana peel - anyone stepping on it will surely slip and fall," Bochang retrieved a small item from his system space.

At first glance, it resembled an ordinary banana peel from before his transmigration, albeit with a slightly plastic-like texture.

A puzzled expression crossed Fu Xuan's face as she asked, "Really? That magical?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, Master Diviner can give it a try." Bochang encouraged, equally curious about the banana peel's effect. Having a willing volunteer was undoubtedly ideal.

"Very well, I shall test it," Fu Xuan responded, her curiosity piqued as she stood up.

Faced with Fu Xuan's unwavering dedication, Bochang confidently tossed the banana peel onto the ground.

"Master Diviner, please..." Bochang bowed slightly.

Fu Xuan examined the banana peel on the floor and calculated by pinching her fingers together. "Water-Fire uncompleted, Wind-Heaven minor accumulation - fortune reversed, all endeavors hindered... This divination... indeed suggests potential danger."

"However," she added mentally, "by overcoming the obstacles, success can be achieved; it may still be worth attempting."

Bochang watched her intently, awaiting her response.

"Hmph... At worst, it's just a slip. Why would this venerable one fear such a thing?"

Fu Xuan stepped onto the banana peel.

Then... disaster struck!

Her foot slid, sending the banana peel flying away as an unknown force surged through it.

Fu Xuan lost control, collapsing uncontrollably. She tried to regain her balance but found herself utterly unable to move her body.

As one of the Six Sovereigns and a strong contender for the next Cloud Knight General position, Fu Xuan possessed formidable strength. Normally, a simple slip should have had no effect on her.

Under normal circumstances, such a simple stumble should have had no effect on her. Fu Xuan possessed numerous ways to regain her balance.

Yet this time...

Nothing worked. Helplessly, she watched herself falling backward.

Seeing this unfold, Bochang swiftly extended his assistance, placing both hands on Master Diviner's shoulders to prevent her from collapsing.

Still shaken and regaining her composure, Fu Xuan hadn't even managed to get up when the inn room door suddenly opened.

March 7th and Qingque stared dumbfounded at Fu Xuan leaning languidly against Bochang, their expressions betraying different emotions—one slightly flushed, the other filled with concern.

Although there was still some distance between Fu Xuan and Bochang, from March 7th and Qingque's perspective, it appeared quite intimate...

From March 7th and Qingque's perspective, it appeared quite intimate...

"What are you two doing?" The corner of March 7th's mouth twitched slightly.

Seizing the moment, Qingque quickly took out his phone to capture this precious scene.

Snap! Snap! Several photos were swiftly taken.

What an extraordinary and priceless moment..., thought Qingque inwardly.

Upon noticing March 7th and Qingque, Bochang immediately helped Fu Xuan sit upright, explaining, "Don't misunderstand, Master Diviner just tried my banana peel trick moments ago, so he's feeling a bit unsteady now."

March 7th responded, "Tried your banana?"

Qingque looked puzzled, raising an eyebrow. Bochang seemed equally confused. Fu Xuan also appeared baffled.
