She felt the warmth by her ear and heard his words, then quickly took several steps back.
Looking at Su Changqing, who seemed so weathered before her, she felt her face grow hot and blush.
This guy...
Looking at Su Changqing's sincere expression,
Murong Dieyi's breathing quickened, and she was deeply moved.
"You'd even give me your life..."
She recalled Su Changqing's words, her chest rising and falling.
The others saw Su Changqing and the Demoness exchanging what seemed like affectionate words, and their eyes widened.
"???"
"Those two... is there something going on?"
Exclamations rang out around them, and many people began whispering among themselves.
They watched the two of them with curiosity in their eyes.
As for Su Changqing, when he saw Murong Dieyi trying hard to hide her reaction, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
"Cute. Did you think I didn't know why you came? I can handle you just fine."
He muttered to himself, though his face remained gentle.
But suddenly...
[ Ding! ]
[ System checking... Check complete... ]
[ Name: Xi Ya! ]
[ Identity: Disciple of the Demonic Sect! ]
[ Situation: Three days ago, she hastily tried to break through, damaging her foundation. If it is not dealt with promptly, it will cause lasting problems! ]
[ Note: This person has good aptitude and will achieve much in the future. The host may invest in her! ]
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
As soon as he heard the prompt,
Su Changqing immediately looked toward a Demonic Sect disciple standing behind Murong Dieyi.
"Here are five Heavenly Net Spirit Gathering Pills. Taking them will completely resolve your current condition. In the future, don't rush your cultivation."
With a flick of his hand, the pill bottle drifted slowly toward the Demonic Sect girl named Xi Ya.

At that,
Murong Dieyi furrowed her brow and glanced at the girl behind her, then looked back at Su Changqing, puzzled.
"Why?"
She didn't ask him outright, but she was utterly confused.
I'm standing right in front of you. Shouldn't you be talking to me more?
Why are you showing concern for some other girl?
Xi Ya, a Demonic Sect disciple, stared blankly at the pill bottle floating before her.
"Dao Yi Holy Son, you..."
She looked at Su Changqing in astonishment, her heart trembling.
Had this Holy Son seen her problem at a glance?
How powerful!
The Heavenly Net Spirit Gathering Pill could strengthen one's foundation, and it was extremely expensive!
Yet he had given her five in one go...
Only after seeing that the Demoness allowed it
did Xi Ya nervously take the pill bottle. Delighted and grateful, she cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, Holy Son!"
Just then,
Su Changqing looked at Xi Ya, who was overwhelmed by his kindness, his eyes full of emotion.
"I never thought she could become an investment target..."
He thought to himself, finding it unbelievable.
In the original story, Xi Ya had been utterly loyal. Even when faced with death, she had never faltered!
She could be considered one of the more outstanding characters!
But at that moment, he immediately started making things up in his diary!
[Xi Ya... I remember.]
[In the future, she will become Dieyi's capable right hand, remaining utterly loyal until she dies in a battle during the War of All Heavens. To protect Dieyi, she will face the enemies surrounding them alone and fight to the death!]
[It is precisely her desperate resistance, buying time at the cost of her life, that allows Dieyi to break through the encirclement.]
[I never thought that an ordinary Demonic Sect disciple like her would accomplish so much in the future...]
As the diary was updated,
Murong Dieyi also saw the contents synchronized in her Diary Instance.
"So that's how it is..."
She read what Su Changqing had written in the diary and understood why he had treated an insignificant Demonic Sect disciple so well.
It turned out that in the future War of All Heavens, Xi Ya would give her life to buy Murong Dieyi time to escape.
Though shaken inside,
Murong Dieyi kept her feelings hidden. She merely glanced at Xi Ya and said, "From now on, would you be willing to follow me?"
"I... I will! I will!!!"
Xi Ya froze for a moment, then answered at once without hesitation.
The Demoness had actually asked her to follow her!
Wonderful!!
It had to be thanks to Dao Yi Holy Son. Otherwise, how could such a good opportunity have fallen to her?
At that moment,
Su Changqing paid no heed to Xi Ya's grateful gaze. The system's voice was sounding in his mind.
[ Ding! ]
[ Congratulations, host. Your investment was successful, and you have gained Xi Ya's gratitude! ]
[ Congratulations, host. You have received a surprise critical reward—the Qianyuan Dragon Soul Pill! ]
[ Note: The Qianyuan Dragon Soul Pill contains a wisp of a True Dragon's soul, and its medicinal power is overbearing. Use it with caution. If the host uses it to cultivate the True Dragon Treasure Technique, the results will be twice as good with half the effort! ]
This time, he had received a surprise critical reward!
When Su Changqing learned what the returned pill could do, he was delighted!
"Qianyuan Dragon Soul Pill? What a treasure, what a treasure!!"
He happily stored it in his spatial storage. It felt amazing!
Because the True Dragon Treasure Technique was so overbearing, he hadn't hurried to cultivate it after obtaining it.
Now that he had these Qianyuan Dragon Soul Pills, he wouldn't have any problems when he began cultivating it!
Meanwhile,
at Taixu Sacred Land.
In the examination plaza,
Lin Fan was venting all the pent-up frustration he'd felt lately!
