The Matter of Karmic Luck
Lu Yang smiled and explained, "I was just standing nearby when I sensed your presence, so I came over to check. I didn't expect to see you fighting."
Qin Nanyue glanced at the corpse on the ground and said nervously, "Those three cultivators from the Great Void Sword Sect seem to want to kill me because I'm your dao companion. These cultivators from the Nine Nether Valley were rude to me and even flirted with me... You don't think I'm too bloodthirsty, do you?"
Seeing Qin Nanyue's somewhat nervous expression, Lu Yang chuckled. He pinched Qin Nanyue's smooth, delicate face and said gently, "Although I don't particularly enjoy killing, if someone bullies me, I naturally can't let them get away with it. How can my woman be bullied? You did the right thing. Even if someone really wants to cause you trouble, I'm here for you."
Qin Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lu Yang's words.
She had known Lu Yang for some time and naturally understood him. She believed that Lu Yang not someone who particularly enjoyed killing, but she was afraid that Lu Yang's feelings for her would fade after seeing what she had just done.
Fortunately, Lu Yang didn't think that way; in his eyes, she was still important to him.
Of course, this was just Qin Nanyue's thought.
If Lin Ying were here, she wouldn't have this worry.
After all, when Lin Ying went home with Lu Yang for the New Year, she was ambushed and killed by Li Yao and several other cultivators. Lu Yang didn't hold back at all, and all of them turned into blood mist.
Just then, text reappeared on Lu Yang's panel.
[The beauty (Qin Nanyue) completes a random quest: Without relying on others, travel to the Ancient Yue Secret Realm and obtain a Sword Dao Law Treasure on your own.]
[Host gains: Universal Experience +9000, Constitution +1, Spiritual Connection Ring *10]
[The beauty (Qin Nanyue) gains: Increased Sword Dao comprehension, Intelligence +0.2, Constitution +0.2, Charm +0.1.]
Um?
Qin Nanyue has already completed the random task?
He recalled the flying sword Qin Nanyue had picked up earlier, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Could it be that one from earlier?
Wasn't that the female cultivator who brought it in?
Is this even considered?
From this perspective, the system's task standards are quite lenient.
Lu Yang glanced at the reward, a hint of joy rising in his heart.
He received a total of 9,000 Universal Experience points as a reward, 1,000 more than Lin Ying.
There is also 1 point of constitution and 10 Spiritual Connection Rings.
This reward is much better than Lin Ying's previous reward.
In Lu Yang's mind, the Spiritual Connection Ring was far more useful than the Investment Contract.
After all, the Spiritual Connection Ring can protect one's beloved from harm; isn't that better than a small investment?
Qin Nanyue's reward was similar to Lin Ying's, except that one received experience in Dao of Alchemy and the other in Sword Dao.
For Lu Yang, it didn't make much difference.
Lu Yang casually allocated the 9,000 Universal Experience points to his Spirit Root, bringing his Spirit Root experience value to just over 20,000 points.
With Mu Yunxue and Jiang Shiqing added to the mix, Lu Yang will also gain two more Universal Experience, which is great.
That's the advantage of having many beautiful women around.
As Lu Yang sighed inwardly, Qin Nanyue also clearly noticed a cool sensation emerging between her brows, after which her thinking speed noticeably improved.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face as she looked at Lu Yang and said, "Lu Yang, have you completed the task you assigned? I feel a change in myself."
Lu Yang glanced at Qin Nanyue, and sure enough, Qin Nanyue's appearance and temperament had improved again. She was even more heroic and valiant than before. If she were holding a long spear, she would probably be a female general who dominated the battlefield.
Lu Yang couldn't resist and hugged Qin Nanyue, gently kissing her. This made Qin Nanyue's pretty face turn bright red. She was always easily shy in matters between men and women, contrary to her nature.
She nudged Lu Yang's chest a little shyly, then glanced around nervously and whispered, "We're outside! You big pervert, if you want to do anything, wait until we're out of the secret realm!"
Lu Yang was taken aback, then looked at Qin Nanyue with a mischievous grin and said, "You're the one who wants me to do something, aren't you? I only kissed you once, and didn't say anything."
Qin Nanyue was startled, her pretty face flushed red, and she broke free from Lu Yang's embrace. She turned and walked quickly towards the corpse, leaving behind the words, "I... I'm going to see the spoils!"
Lu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. This girl was really easy to tease, but if he continued to tease her, she would probably explode.
He stepped forward, picked up a Storage Bag with great interest, and began to examine it.
Seeing this, Qin Nanyue said somewhat irritably, "Our young master Lu's wealth surpasses even that of a Nascent Spirit Transformation. What? You still want this junk?"
Lu Yang scanned the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense with great interest. Inside, there were only tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, some first and second-grade ores, Demon Beast materials, and several-grade pills and Law Treasure. There were also three magic treasures, but they did not show any spiritual light and should only be Law Artifacts.
Although the items weren't particularly useful, Lu Yang was quite happy. "Why wouldn't I like them? Fighting and killing in secret realms to earn loot—that's a classic scene from cultivation novels! I've got some loot myself."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue crossed her arms and looked at Lu Yang with a half-smile, saying, "Oh? I killed all these people. These are just my spoils, not our Young Master Lu's. If you want spoils, go find someone to fight yourself."
Lu Yang, however, was quite shameless, and said cheerfully, "Even you are mine, and what's yours is also mine, isn't it?"
Qin Nanyue rolled her eyes in annoyance, and didn't continue arguing with Lu Yang. Instead, she took out a broken talisman that emitted a rich spiritual light and had flowing Principle Runes, and said, "This thing is not bad. It seems to be a fourth-tier broken talisman. I wonder where this kid got it."
Lu Yang paused for a moment, glanced at the talisman in Qin Nanyue's hand, and looked at the corpse on the ground with some surprise.
The corpse was that of a handsome young man, his chest pierced, his eyes wide open in death.
Lu Yang was also somewhat surprised and said, "It seems this fellow Daoist has good luck. Even the female cultivators of the Chi Household don't have a fourth-tier trump card, yet this fellow Daoist does. Perhaps you obtained this fortuitous opportunity from somewhere?"
Qin Nanyue nodded in agreement. "To obtain such fortuitous opportunity at the Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed an amazing stroke of luck. Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, even luck is useless."
Lu Yang gave the proud Qin Nanyue a strange look, then patted her bottom in an annoyed tone, causing Qin Nanyue's pretty face to flush red. She glared at him. "You pervert, touching me like that outside..."
Lu Yang laughed and said, "Don't underestimate those cultivators with amazing luck. Perhaps it's because your luck is also good that you were able to kill him. Otherwise, he probably would have had a way to escape."
Lu Yang thought about his luck. He had picked up quite a few rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures along the way, and even some Law Treasures. Clearly, his luck was quite good.
Qin Nanyue was also his woman, and since she was related to him, she was naturally affected by his fortune and karma.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Qin Nanyue's current luck is not low, which is why she was able to defeat this young cultivator whose luck should be quite good so easily.
Otherwise, cultivators with such strong fortune would easily ascend to immortality in the future, and ascending to the Spirit Realm might not even be a problem.
Seeing Lu Yang's response, Qin Nanyue thought for a moment. She had read some legendary stories of people with extraordinary luck in ancient books and miscellaneous books before, so she was no longer as arrogant as before.
She nodded silently and said softly, "What you said makes sense; we shouldn't underestimate people."
Lu Yang nodded slightly, then looked curiously at the young man's waist. There was no Storage Bag there, but Lu Yang noticed a gray-black ring on his hand.
Lu Yang paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly. "This fellow Daoist actually has Storage Ring? It seems he had quite a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity before."
His curiosity grew, and with a thought, he took the Storage Ring into his hand. He scanned it with his Divine Sense, and since the young man was already dead, the Storage Ring was no longer restricted and was easily seen through by Lu Yang.
