You Agreed to That? Do You Have a Secret Crush on Me?

This plan can be considered a great success.

They foiled the Heaven-Praying Hall's trickery and gained two High-Grade Spirit Artifacts.

Most importantly, there are the system's rewards.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the choice task."

"Ding! System assessment confirms that the host has completed option two: [Take immediate action to thwart the Venerable Mei's conspiracy]"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the rare-level reward [Complete Scroll of Beautification Technique]"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a rare-level reward: a random High-Grade Spirit Artifact [Heart-Cleansing Mirror] (which can be hung on the mountaintop for disciples to cleanse their minds)."

"Ding! System assessment confirms that the host has completed option three: [An eye for an eye]"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the rare-level reward [Advanced to Two-Star Martial Venerable]!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the rare-level reward [Heavenly Book of Contracts]"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the epic reward [Stars Shift, Heaven and Earth Revolve]!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the epic reward [Eight Desolations Sacred Heart Instruction]!"

Hearing a series of system rewards.

Chen Ning's face lit up with joy.

Surprisingly, the second option was also completed.

The system is indeed impressive.

However, as one's cultivation level increases, advancing to a higher realm becomes less easy.

It actually took up a slot for a rare reward.

Feel the surge of power within me.

Chen Ning exhaled softly, silently harmonizing the power brought about by his recent breakthrough.

At this moment, however, Venerable Mei's eyes flickered.

Two of the High-Grade Spirit Artifact from the Heaven-Praying Hall were taken away by the other party in one go.

There's another reason because of him.

If he could escape, wouldn't he be spared one problem?

This thought came to mind.

He immediately activated his Martial Venerable body, riding the wind, directly overturning the roof, attempting to escape far away.

"I already said I'd host a banquet for you, so don't even think about leaving..."

Chen Ning chuckled softly.

The Stars Shift, Heaven and Earth Revolve was directly activated.

Epic-level movement Divine Ability Movement Method.

Nature is extraordinary.

In an instant.

It broke through the constraints of time and space.

They appeared directly ahead of the route the Venerable Mei was taking to escape.

He crushed an Immortal-Trapping Talisman in his hand.

Boom!

A golden light enveloped the figure of the Venerable Mei.

He was immediately terrified.

A top-grade Immortal-Trapping Talisman.

Even he couldn't break free.

At that moment, Meng Yuyi also chased after them from behind.

A lithe figure stood in the void.

She was caught off guard when the Venerable Mei suddenly fled.

But Chen Ning stopped him directly.

Such extraordinary Movement Method techniques and speed are something even Meng Yuyi would have to admit defeat to.

What shocked her even more was...

When Chen Ning was in the Void Secret Realm, he had only just advanced to the Earth Martial Realm.

How long has it been?

Then they arrived at the Venerable Martial Realm.

Because she possesses Extreme Cold Spirit Body, her cultivation speed cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

But Chen Ning seems even more extraordinary.

But there was no time to think about these things at that moment.

Although Chen Ning trapped the Venerable Mei, he only trapped him.

To truly capture the Venerable Mei, we still need to rely on Meng Yuyi.

Chen Ning gave her a look.

Meng Yuyi understood immediately.

A dazzling icy light was released, temporarily freezing the body of the Venerable Mei Martial Venerable.

At that moment, he was like a sitting duck.

There's no way to hide.

"Oh no!"

The Venerable Mei exclaimed in surprise.

A moment later.

A layer of frost also condensed in the Venerable Mei One's dantian.

Only now has he completely lost his ability to fight.

"Sect Leader Chen, I can't escape now either, but there's something I don't understand. Could you please enlighten me?" Knowing he couldn't escape, Venerable Mei resigned himself to his fate. He now had a major question to ask Chen Ning.

"Speak."

It's always a bit strange to see a sinister-looking young man referring to himself as "this old man."

"Sect Leader Chen, you and I both wanted to control the sect by starting with our disciples, but why are our methods so similar yet our results so different?"

This is the most unresolved knot in the heart of Venerable Mei.

What exactly went wrong?

"The Dragon-Seeking Sect used this method to ensnare almost half of my Heaven-Praying Hall disciples, and even the inner hall elders were fooled. On the other hand, I haven't even managed to infiltrate inner disciple. My results have been minimal."

Upon hearing the Venerable Mei's words, Chen Ning smiled and said, "Old Mei, remember this: what's free is often the most expensive."

Upon hearing this...

The Venerable Mei fell into deep thought.

There seems to be some understanding, but it's not entirely clear.

Chen Ning slowly said, "Your Technique of Beautification are indeed profound, but not everyone wants to change their appearance. Moreover, although you can pay in advance, it still requires a considerable amount of Origin Stone, which has already deterred many people."

"I think I understand..."

The Venerable Mei suddenly realized.

Recalling the series of tactics the temple master mentioned regarding Pin Heihei.

Add to that the bombardment of top-grade pills and super-grade talismans.

I doubt anyone could resist such temptation.

"Sect Leader Chen, thank you for clarifying my doubts. I am completely convinced."

The Venerable Mei clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

At this moment, several Black Dragon Clan arrived from afar and invited Venerable Mei back to the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

Thanks.

Chen Ning looked at Meng Yuyi and spoke.

Meng Yuyi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said softly, "I can do one more thing for you."

"What?"

Chen Ning was a little puzzled. "Even if this counts as one thing, shouldn't there be two more?"

Previously, because of the Seven-Colored Vine, Meng Yuyi had promised to do three things for me.

After that, Chen Ning never bothered her again; he wanted to use the money sparingly.

That way, if the Heavenly Lake Holy Land forces her to do something bad, they might be able to use this agreement to make her feel guilty.

Seeing Chen Ning's confusion.

Meng Yuyi then recounted the process of annihilating the Four Evil Sects.

"Seriously? This counts? Aren't you just making decisions on your own?"

Chen Ning felt it was very unfair.

How can anyone make decisions on their own?

But the next moment...

After feeling Meng Yuyi's icy gaze.

Chen Ning could only say helplessly, "Fine, let's say two items. I still have one last one, right?"

"Um."

Meng Yuyi nodded slightly.

"Okay, the last thing I need you to do for me is... do two more things for me!" Chen Ning revealed a sly smile.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Meng Yuyi's eyebrows shot up.

Seemingly rendered speechless by Chen Ning's shameless words.

But it added a touch of charm and cuteness to her icy appearance.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Save the last one for now."

Chen Ning hadn't finished speaking.

Meng Yuyi parted her cherry lips slightly and said, "I agree. I can do two more things for you."

Chen Ning was a little stunned. "It really works? Then I want a hundred more things!"

Meng Yuyi immediately gave him a look that said, "Don't push your luck," and stared at him coldly.

This is for a one-time only.

"Okay, I thought I could exploit the bug indefinitely."

Chen Ning leaned a little closer and said, "Hey! You don't have a crush on me, do you? You agreed to this request? You're acting really strange..."

"Get away!"

Meng Yuyi pushed Chen Ning away with a burst of icy energy.

He left on his own.

Seeing her adorable way of running away in a panic, Chen Ning smiled.

With his cultivation level improving, he now even dares to tease Martial Venerable.

It's a bit too light...
