I Want to Stay by Young Master's Side Forever!

[Host has successfully added Jiang Shiqing's contact information and received the following rewards: 200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and 1 White Frost Water-Covering Wheel!]

[The host's favorability with the beauty (Jiang Shiqing) has reached 60 points. The host receives: Low-Level Rebate Card *1, Cultivation Method Experience +500, and Water-Controlling True Spirit Ring *1!]

[The host's favorability with the beauty (Jiang Shiqing) has reached 80 points. The host has received: Mid-Level Rebate Card *1, Cultivation Method Experience +2000, Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit *1]

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, but did not Fortune Trait.

After careful recollection, he realized that he had added the contact information of five women so far, but only Lin Ying and Jiang Shiqing had not yet triggered the reward of the Fortune Trait.

After a moment's thought, he guessed that this was mostly related to their own talent and cultivation.

When Lin Ying was added, she was only at the Late Qi Refining; Jiang Shiqing was only at the Mid-stage Qi Refining, and her Spirit Root was only of the low grade.

It's not unusual for the Fortune Trait (qi yun, meaning luck or destiny) not to appear in the entry.

He collected his thoughts and carefully examined the remaining rewards.

White Frost Water-Covering Wheel, a top-grade water-based Supreme-Grade Law Artifact.

The Water-Controlling True Spirit Ring is Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact.

The two Law Treasure, one offensive and one defensive, were of high quality, but clearly not intended for Lu Yang.

He doesn't Water Dao Cultivation Method or Law Technique.

These two items are probably for Jiang Shiqing.

The last Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit surprised Lu Yang.

[Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit: heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Consuming it can raise Spirit Root by one level, up to Mid-Grade Spirit Root.]

It's actually a spiritual fruit that can enhance Spirit Roots!

However, the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit is far less precious than the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit.

After all, this thing is only effective for those with Mid-Grade Spirit Roots or below.

For cultivators with Low-Grade Spirit Roots, this spiritual fruit might be a treasure capable of defying fate, but for others, it is utterly useless.

In comparison, the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit can elevate Supreme-Grade Spirit Root.

The difference between the two is obvious.

However, even though the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit is not as good as the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit, it can still be considered an extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

After all, cultivators with Low-Grade Spirit Roots constitute the largest group in the cultivation Immortal Realm.

Many powerful individuals' descendants might also possess Low-Grade Spirit Roots; if this thing were put up for auction, it would surely fetch a considerable price.

A strange feeling welled up in Lu Yang's heart.

It seems even the system couldn't stand the quality of Jiang Shiqing's Spirit Root.

Such a precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures is being rewarded at just 80 points of favorability?

However, this is for the best.

With these rewards, Jiang Shiqing's favorability will only increase faster.

In addition to Jiang Shiqing's related rewards, Lu Yang also received his own rewards.

One Low-Level Rebate Card and one Mid-Level Rebate Card.

This is enough to multiply Lu Yang's current wealth several times over!

Including his own inventory, Lu Yang currently has one Advanced Rebate Card, two Mid-Level Rebate Cards, and one Low-Level Rebate Card.

Besides that, there are 2500 points of Cultivation Method Experience.

Lu Yang casually used it on the Record of Same-Heart Creation.

Including yesterday's serious study and research with Lin Ying, Lu Yang's experience points in the Record of Same-Heart Creation have reached 5311, which is quite gratifying.

Lu Yang glanced at Lin Ying, who was still unconscious on the bed.

Her breathing was steady, and her long eyelashes cast two small, light shadows on her cheeks.

He carefully withdrew his arm.

Lin Ying frowned slightly and mumbled something indistinctly, but did not wake up.

Lu Yang tucked the blanket around her and silently left the bedroom.

Lu Yang went to the study and sent a message to Jiang Shiqing via the communication token.

Not long after, light and quick footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The study door was gently pushed open, and Jiang Shiqing quickly walked in.

Her beautiful face, with its deep and delicate features, still had a blush that hadn't faded, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, with a few stray hairs sticking to her temples.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the floor in front of her toes, her hands nervously twisting together, her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt.

Jiang Shiqing was completely stunned. She was in her room casting water Law Technique on the young master when he suddenly summoned her telepathically.

She didn't have time to continue casting the spell; she quickly dressed, tidied herself up, and hurried over.

She secretly raised her eyelids and glanced quickly at Lu Yang. Seeing that the young master's expression was normal and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, what brings you here?"

Lu Yang leaned back lazily in his chair, his tone casual yet gentle. "Shiqing, which Cultivation Method or Law Technique do you specialize in?"

Jiang Shiqing quickly replied, "Young Master, the Cultivation Methods and Law Technique practiced by my Jiang Household are all Water Dao."

Lu Yang nodded slightly.

Just as he expected.

The two Law Treasure awarded by the system for increasing her favorability were both water-based, clearly matched to Jiang Shiqing's Cultivation Method and Law Technique.

He looked up at Jiang Shiqing, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Come here."

Jiang Shiqing quickly walked to Lu Yang's side, bowed slightly, and put her hands down in front of her, looking like she was listening attentively.

As he got closer, Lu Yang could smell her faint, refreshing scent.

It's like a mountain spring flowing over bluestone, clean and elegant.

A flash of light appeared in Lu Yang's Storage Ring, and a spiritual fruit materialized in his palm.

The spiritual fruit was pure white, with a smooth skin like solidified fat.

Through the translucent flesh, one can clearly see the shimmering liquid flowing inside, like fine chalcedony slowly swirling.

As soon as the fruit appeared, a rich aroma filled the entire study.

Jiang Shiqing simply took a breath unconsciously and felt refreshed and comfortable all over, and the Spiritual Qi within her body became more active.

She looked at the spiritual fruit with some shock.

Such a noticeable reaction from just one sniff—what grade of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures is this?

In her memory, even the most treasured artifacts deep within the Jiang Household's vault probably didn't possess such potent medicinal power.

The next moment, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer.

Jiang Shiqing is very clear about her current identity.

She is currently considered the young master's maid.

This level of treasure was beyond her wildest dreams.

Just as she lowered her head, not daring to look any further, the hand holding the spirit fruit was offered directly to her.

Then came Lu Yang's gentle smile, "This is for you."

Jiang Shiqing was startled and suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, her pupils filled with disbelief.

She opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly. "I... my...?"

Lu Yang nodded and said gently, "Yes. This spiritual fruit is called the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit, which can improve the quality of Spirit Roots. However, it can only raise them to the Mid-Grade Spirit Root at most. I remember your Spirit Root is low grade, right? This fruit should be quite useful for you."

After hearing these words, Jiang Shiqing's mind went blank.

A spiritual fruit that enhances one's Spirit Root?!

For her?

My thoughts were jolted into a jumbled mess, leaving my mind completely blank.

She felt as if her heart had been suddenly gripped and then released, and a surge of hot liquid rushed from her chest to her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes filled with tears almost instantly, her rims turning as red as if they were stained with rouge.

She stood there, somewhat at a loss, her lips moving several times before she finally spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "Young Master... this spiritual fruit is too precious... Shiqing... Shiqing is unworthy of such a spiritual fruit!"

Lu Yang stood up from his chair and walked over to her.

He reached out and gently touched Jiang Shiqing's hair, his fingertips running through her soft strands, his movements gentle and composed.

He lowered his gaze, looking directly into her eyes shimmering with tears. His voice was soft, yet each word was etched into her heart. "You are mine, and naturally you deserve me."

Boom!

Jiang Shiqing's expression froze completely, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Only Lu Yang's words echoed repeatedly in my mind.

You are mine...

The young master said she was his woman?!

However, upon further reflection, she realized that she had always been the young master's personal maid, ever since she nodded in agreement to follow him at the banquet.

Young master, I doubt you meant anything by that.

Jiang Shiqing pursed her red lips, trying to suppress the surging surprise and excitement in her heart.

Even so, she still felt that even the sunlight streaming in from the window was much brighter than before.

Seeing Jiang Shiqing's dazed expression, Lu Yang didn't urge her.

He took her hand.

Her palms were icy cold, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

Lu Yang gently placed the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit into her palm, then closed her fingers, letting her hold it.

"Take it and refine it." His voice was calm and casual. "Since you're going to follow me, you can't be too weak. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with me or do anything for me."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Shiqing felt a sudden chill in her heart and jolted awake.

Yes...

With his Low-Grade Spirit Root, his future achievements are destined to be limited.

Now she has had an incredible stroke of luck, being chosen by the young master to become his personal maid.

If one doesn't work hard enough and their cultivation level doesn't keep up, they'll only bring shame to the young master.

Even if the young master doesn't mind, how can I have the face to continue staying by his side?

The thought of this possibility made Jiang Shiqing's face turn pale.

She instinctively gripped the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit in her hand, like a drowning person grabbing onto the only piece of driftwood.

No!

I want to stay by your side forever!

She bit her lower lip, raised her head, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination. "Young Master, I will cultivate diligently!"

Seeing that Jiang Shiqing had accepted the spiritual fruit, Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Go and refine it."

"Yes!" Jiang Shiqing nodded vigorously, bowed, and turned to leave.

Lu Yang watched Jiang Shiqing's departing figure, then casually opened the panel and glanced at her favorability rating.

Jiang Shiqing (Favorability Rating: 91)

Sure enough, as her charm increased, it became much easier to raise her favorability rating.

Of course, this Jade Marrow Profound Fruit was indeed a wonderful gift, and it greatly impressed Jiang Shiqing.

He smiled.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, decided to take advantage of the present moment to test the effects of his exclusive skill, "The Power of Money."
