"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Bing Shuang rose to her feet and, as if she were in her own home, took a box of Tea Leaves from the cabinet and personally brewed tea for the Pavilion Master.

What a thoughtful little sweetheart—just a little cold.

Linglong and Bing Shuang met each other's eyes. Though they did not speak, the other's memories had already flooded into their minds, and they naturally understood the current situation.

They were originally rewards from the system. They lived for the Pavilion Master and would die for the Pavilion Master. Still, there was one benefit: they were also flesh and blood, possessed all five senses, could cry, and could feel hungry.

They had minds of their own. Even without the Pavilion Master saying a word, they understood what they should and should not do.

Anything that displeased the Pavilion Master could be overturned and redone.

The aura emitted by a Dou Zun Strong was exceptionally terrifying. Even Niu Meng and Linglong combined could not possibly be a match for Bing Shuang.

Bing Shuang placed the brewed tea before Li Xiao and respectfully said, "Pavilion Master, please have some tea."

"You've put thought into this." Li Xiao took a sip of the hot tea, secretly delighted. Being waited on really did feel comfortable—and by a Dou Zun Strong, no less. If others saw this, their jaws would surely drop. They might even faint on the spot.

As a Dou Zun, Bing Shuang should have a title of her own.

Li Xiao pondered for a moment. "Bing Shuang, from now on, your Venerable title will be Ice Frost Venerable. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for bestowing upon me the title of Venerable. This subordinate is immensely grateful."

Bing Shuang's admiration was clearly much higher than Linglong's. She even seemed to want to melt into the Pavilion Master's body.

Linglong helplessly shook her head. Both of them were icy beauties, yet before the Pavilion Master, they were filled with coy charm and affection.

Besides, the Pavilion Master's handsomeness was practically suffocating. Any young girl who saw him would probably fall hopelessly in love.

Li Xiao casually sat down in his chair, picked up a book from the table, and began reading with elegance.

Linglong and Bing Shuang exchanged a smile, and the curtains embroidered with a hundred phoenixes fell with them.

What followed was unsuitable for children. The author knew you did not like reading such things, so he watched it for you. Don't scold me...

After a while.

Li Xiao gave his body a shake, signaling that today's reward had come to a perfect end.

Gulp, gulp~ Linglong and Bing Shuang's pretty faces were flushed red as they lifted their teacups and drained them in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

Drinking more tea was good for one's health. It also contained things that whitened the skin and enhanced beauty, making it very suitable.

Bing Shuang pulled out a tissue and wiped the moisture from the corner of her lips. "Pavilion Master, what should we do next?"

"Have Niu Meng till the land nearby and plant some fruits and vegetables. When those people come for the auction, we can serve them some fruit as well."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Li Xiao looked at the Dou Shi cultivation manual in his hands and curled his lips. If he did not have his cheat, this book might have been his first teacher.

Now that he had the answers, he naturally did not need the book's help. Still, it was somewhat interesting to read about the world's structure.

The area around the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was filled with birdsong and flowers. Sparrows chirped endlessly, adding a little more joy to life.

It was not until the sun rose that Li Xiao put down his book and stretched.

Reading all night had left him exhausted as well. Sure enough, even a Dou Zhe needed rest to ease the fatigue in their body.

Niu Meng was currently plowing the fields. To make things more efficient, he had tied the farming tools directly onto the Amethyst Winged Lion King, making it drag the plow as it ran back and forth over the soil.

The three Tier 5 Magical Beasts were not idle either. Their duties were clearly divided. One kept digging holes with its claws, one carried peach blossom trees in its mouth and planted them, while the last was responsible for watering them. What excellent teamwork! Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of a Sixth Rank Magical Beast. Its stamina is impressive."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King wore a miserable expression. It was a mighty hero of its generation. Guarding the gate was one thing, but now they were treating it like livestock and making it plow and fertilize fields. This was simply the greatest humiliation!

Niu Meng frowned and forcefully slapped the Amethyst Winged Lion King on the rear. With a crisp smack, the Amethyst Winged Lion King cried out in pain.

"Ow! This King is in agony!"

"Move it! If you still don't finish today, we're having braised lion's head tonight!"

Under Niu Meng's pressure, the Amethyst Winged Lion King reluctantly continued working.

Li Xiao smiled. "Give it this Transformation Pill. Consider it fulfillment of our previous agreement."

After receiving the Tier 7 Pill, the Transformation Pill, from the Pavilion Master, Bing Shuang teleported in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled by the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar woman. Who the hell was this girl? She appeared in front of it without making a sound—she was going to scare a lion to death! But just then, Bing Shuang took out the Seven-Rank Transformation Pill and said, "The Pavilion Master said that since you work efficiently, and because of the condition he promised you last time, he is specially rewarding you with a Seven-Rank Transformation Pill!"

Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes widened. It stared in disbelief at Lord Li Xiao, who was smiling at it with an untroubled expression.

It had thought it was merely a joke, but the man could actually produce a Seven-Rank Transformation Pill!

One had to know that Transformation Pills were exceedingly precious. Not only did he show no reluctance to part with one, he did not even blink. Just how little did he care about a Tier 7 Pill? In the system, this pill only cost 20 System Coins. If he wanted, he could evolve every Magical Beast into a human.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you thanking the Pavilion Master? Do I need to teach you that?" Niu Meng scolded, smacking the Amethyst Winged Lion King on the head.

Only then did the Amethyst Winged Lion King come to its senses. It dragged its heavy body with difficulty to Li Xiao, dropped all four limbs to the ground, and wept as it said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master. For the rest of my life, I am your beast. You can do whatever you want with me."

"Cough, cough." Li Xiao gave a dry cough. "I don't have that kind of hobby. You can eat it yourself or give it to your child. But I can promise you another one in a month."

Because the system had a cooldown period, it would take one month after purchasing a Seven-Rank Transformation Pill before another could be bought. Thus, he could only take out one for now.

After thinking it over repeatedly, the Amethyst Winged Lion King chose to give the Transformation Pill to its child. Seeing its child grow up was what it wanted most.

The eyes of the three Tier 5 Magical Beasts burned with desire. When would they be able to taste a Tier 7 Pill as well?

Li Xiao seemed to have guessed what the three brothers were thinking. A smile appeared on his face as he took out three Tier 7 Pills with different names and tossed them over.

The three Tier 5 Magical Beasts froze at the same time, complicated emotions flickering in their eyes. Clearly, they had not expected to receive a share as well.
