Cashback for Positive Reviews

Pei Ling was about to suffocate inside the room!

Outside, Zheng Jingshan was equally anxious. Why had Senior Sister remained silent?

Had she become engrossed in studying the Jade Slip, or could she simply not be bothered with him?

At that moment, his hatred for Pei Ling sank even deeper into his bones.

After all, in Zheng Jingshan's eyes, the only thing he had done recently that could have angered Senior Sister was allowing Pei Ling, a mere collateral descendant of the Pei Clan, to beat him to the search for Wu Tingxi despite his status as an Inner Disciple of the Chongming Sect and one of the Pulse Masters.

When Pei Ling brought the item to Senior Sister, she must have become even more convinced that he was useless.

Without Fairy Li's permission, Zheng Jingshan did not dare leave on his own. But Pei Ling had not only made him lose face before Senior Sister, he had even secretly broken into his room to cultivate. If he simply let him flee far away, how could he swallow this outrage?

After hesitating for a moment, just as he found himself caught between advancing and retreating, he suddenly heard that familiar icy voice, laced with a fury rarely heard before. "Get out!"

Though Zheng Jingshan had feared the Skull Wind Chime and dared not approach the Refined Chamber, that furious roar still made his blood and qi churn. He steadied himself before lowering his head. "Yes. I'll be back shortly."

Inside the Refined Chamber, Pei Ling stiffly watched Fairy Li slowly sit up from the Cloud Bed...

But Fairy Li's face was now covered in frost, and blazing fury filled her eyes as she stared at Pei Ling with chilling intent.

Pei Ling looked back at her expressionlessly.

There was no helping it... he did not even know what expression he ought to wear when facing this fairy.

Fairy Li stared at Pei Ling for a moment, then suddenly struck downward with her palm!

Every hair on Pei Ling's body stood on end. Just as he thought death was certain, the palm wind brushed his face, then abruptly veered aside and smashed a Small Table not far away into dust.

Next, Fairy Li flew into a towering rage, striking again and again. Every carefully selected furnishing the Pei Family had placed in the Refined Chamber, including the Cloud Bed, was destroyed without exception.

After venting for a while, she seemed to finally calm down somewhat. She rose from beside the couch, but the instant she stood, she instinctively frowned. Her outstretched step suddenly halted, and the next moment, a surge of spiritual power lifted her entire body. Turning her head, she gave Pei Ling a cold glance.

Just as Pei Ling thought Fairy Li was about to say something, she suddenly turned around and entered the inner room.

Before long, the sound of trickling water came from within, as though she were washing up.

Pei Ling stood where he was, scarcely daring to breathe.

He did not know why Fairy Li had not killed him. He did not dare ask, nor did he dare run. He could only silently pray that Fairy Li was as kind-hearted as she was beautiful and would spare him...

Only then did he notice that the system evaluation panel was still floating before him.

"You've still got the nerve to ask for a five-star review?!" Pei Ling instantly erupted, raging furiously in his mind. "If I could uninstall you, I'd kick you out in minutes! Screw your mother, did you hear me? Screw your mother! Can't you cultivate without stirring up trouble every single time?! Zheng Jingshan and Wu Tingxi both let me escape death the first two times, and you were so damn disappointed that you decided to pull off something huge and kill me for good?!"

As he cursed, Pei Ling suddenly felt a wave of lingering fear. Thank goodness it had been a cultivation technique and not the Sunflower Manual!

"Ding dong!" the system said mechanically. "The Intelligent Cultivation System is wholeheartedly at your service. One-Click Hosting, cultivation without worries, fulfilling your dream of ascension! We look forward to your cultivation review. If satisfied, please give us a five-star rating!"

Pei Ling nearly coughed blood. "Get out! Get the hell out right this instant!!!"

He cursed at the top of his lungs. "You damn Idiot System! You still want a five-star review?! You damn—! You—system! I—!!! Even giving you a one-star bad review would be too generous!!!"

As he spoke, he gave it a five-star review without the slightest hesitation.

"Ding dong!" Perhaps because it had received a positive review, unlike the silence after receiving one-star bad reviews the previous two times, the system issued another notification. "Thank you, Host, for your thoughtful review."

Immediately afterward, that terrifying scene happened yet again!

System: "Ding dong! A five-star review from the Host has been detected. The system will gift one Nourishing Origin Pill free of charge."

Pei Ling: "What the fuck?!"

Before his thoughts could turn, the system had swiftly seized Body Control and strode forward. It rummaged through the clothes scattered on the floor, found a dark-patterned silver pouch, opened it, removed a jade bottle, decisively poured out the only pill inside, and clenched it in his hand. Then it casually tossed the pouch aside. "Ding dong! The Nourishing Origin Pill has been gifted. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-Click Hosting, cultivation without worries, fulfilling your dream of ascension!"

Pei Ling stood dumbfounded!

After cultivating, it rewarded him by stealing something from the future Saintess???

What kind of utterly fucked-up scumbag system could do something like that???

Before Fairy Li came out, he hurriedly picked up the dark-patterned silver pouch from the floor, intending to return the Nourishing Origin Pill.

But just as he opened the pouch, before he could take out the jade bottle within, the sound of water in the inner room suddenly stopped.

Pei Ling jolted and instinctively closed the pouch, stuffing it beneath several pieces of clothing.

The next moment, Fairy Li floated out, her long hair still slightly damp and a Black Gauze Dress of a somewhat different style draped over her.

Her face was cold. She did not look at Pei Ling, instead heading straight for the clothes and beginning to search through them.

Pei Ling: "...!"

Fairy Li quickly found the pouch he had hidden. She opened it and took out the jade bottle, but when she tipped it over, nothing came out. A trace of astonishment appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face as she stared at the bottle and fell into thought.

Witnessing everything, Pei Ling held his breath, his eyes vacant as his thoughts nearly ground to a halt.

The sole Nourishing Origin Pill remained tightly clenched in his palm, exactly where it had been when the system returned Body Control...

Fortunately, the wind chime beneath the eaves suddenly rang without wind, letting out several crisp chimes.

Pei Ling felt a wave of dizziness sweep through his mind. Terrified, he hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself awake.

Fairy Li abruptly looked toward the door, a faint killing intent rising in her eyes!

"Senior Sister." After a moment, Footsteps sounded outside, followed by Pei Hong Nian's timid probe. "May I ask, Senior Sister, do you plan to remain at my residence for a few more days? Senior Brother Zheng has already pursued him dozens of li beyond the city, yet has still found no trace..."

Before he could finish, Fairy Li cut him off coldly. "Zheng Jingshan!"

"...In reply to Senior Sister, I am here." Pei Hong Nian instantly fell silent. After a brief pause, Zheng Jingshan's voice sounded cautiously from behind him. "Senior Sister, although Wu Tingxi was already severely injured when he fled into Yuan Lao Mountain, he was still Elder Luo's Disciple. Pei Ling is only at Qi Refining Layer 3, yet he found and killed him before everyone else, even taking the cultivation technique Jade Slip. There may be more to him than meets the eye."

"I thought there might be some secret on his person, so I went to capture him personally. It was not merely to vent my anger..."

Still receiving no answer from Fairy Li, Zheng Jingshan's tone grew increasingly uneasy. "So may I ask, Senior Sister, could you grant me three days to find him and grind his bones to ash?"

Pei Ling did not dare make a sound and secretly glanced at Fairy Li.

Fairy Li was expressionless. Suddenly, she flicked a finger and blasted the doors of the Refined Chamber open before walking out slowly.

Outside, Zheng Jingshan had originally forced Pei Hong Nian to come and test the waters, only for Fairy Li to expose him. He was already panicking. Seeing Senior Sister emerge, he relaxed slightly, thinking she intended to ask about the details. He hurried forward, about to speak, when he saw Pei Ling standing in the doorway with a hesitant expression.

"Pei Ling, you wretch! You actually dared come here and disturb Senior Sister?!" Zheng Jingshan was greatly shocked and hurriedly said to Fairy Li, "Senior Sister, could it be that this man used glib words and honeyed speech..."

Before his words had faded, Fairy Li suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.

Though her severe injuries had yet to heal, that slap sent Zheng Jingshan flying backward. Helpless to resist, he crashed into the Courtyard Wall.

Sliding down the cracked wall to the ground, he opened his mouth and spat out two teeth. Ignoring his rapidly swelling cheek, he stared at Fairy Li in horror, his face full of panic and confusion.

Pei Hong Nian, standing nearby, had originally been equally puzzled as to why Pei Ling was here. But how could he dare utter a word now?

From Pei Ling's angle, this Sect Son of the Pei Clan, the publicly acknowledged greatest young genius of their generation, had legs trembling so badly that he looked ready to flee first.

Fairy Li ignored them. From somewhere unknown, she took out an Ink Jade Boat. With a hand seal, the little boat expanded in the wind, transforming in an instant into a three-story tower ship that floated in midair.

Without Fairy Li needing to act, the Skull Wind Chime flashed on its own and let out a pleasant ring. Pei Ling blinked, and it was already hanging beneath the tower ship's upturned eaves.

Fairy Li boarded first. With a sweep of her sleeve, she ordered coldly, "Return to the sect!"

Pei Ling let out a long breath of relief. He had been hoping everyone would leave so he could hide the Nourishing Origin Pill, but after Pei Hong Nian helped the limping Zheng Jingshan aboard, the tower ship remained completely motionless.

Just as Pei Ling wondered why, Zheng Jingshan froze as well, then turned and shouted at him, "You bastard! What are you standing there for? Get up here at once!"
