"Genuine and authentic."
Although Lovesick Heartbreak Red had transformed into its true form, it did not hinder her ability to speak.
"I have been cursed, and I require a specific method to break it."
"The first step has been completed, and only the final step remains."
"My time is limited, so let us have some pleasant fun."
"Qian Xunji, isn't this your favorite thing to do?", Lovesick Heartbreak Red transformed back into the appearance of Xiao Rou and tackled Qian Xunji.
"Wait, wait, I still have a question I want to ask you.", Qian Xunji pushed Lovesick Heartbreak Red up.
"What question?"
"Can you bear me a child?", Qian Xunji asked sincerely.
"You humans are truly obsessed with your descendants!", Lovesick Heartbreak Red could not help but exclaim.
Qian Xunji could not help but chuckle dryly; he had no choice, for if he wanted to progress, he had to produce more sons and daughters.
Once his sons and daughters grew up, his life would become much easier.
Sons would have grandsons, grandsons would have great-grandsons, and the lineage would be endless; this way, even if he did nothing, he could sit back and grow stronger.
"Is it possible?", Qian Xunji asked once more.
Lovesick Heartbreak Red shook her head and said, "It is not possible right now!"
"This is not my true body, but merely a prison that locks away my divine soul."
"Once I retrieve my true body, I can certainly bear you a child."
"That is not realistic at all. Do you have any other benefits for me?", Qian Xunji refused. Whether she would even return after retrieving her true body was an unknown, and he was not willing to be taken advantage of for free.
"Isn't obtaining me the best reward you could ask for?"
"You must know that I am a woman even the Dragon God desired."
Qian Xunji felt a slight surprise inwardly; he had not expected the woman before him to have a connection to the Dragon God.
However, he did not fear the Dragon God. He possessed a system, and he would eventually stand at the pinnacle of the God Realm; even if the Dragon God came, he would still deal with him all the same.
But then again, the woman before him was truly cunning. She was the one begging for his help, yet she acted as if she were bestowing some sort of favor upon him.
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "That is different. You are the one who wants me, not the other way around."
"I can refuse."
"Since you know of the Dragon God, you must be an existence from the same era."
"If you want me to help you, you must give me some tangible benefits!", Qian Xunji looked at Lovesick Heartbreak Red. He was unsure what she could offer, but he had nothing to lose by asking.
"I can also find someone else.", Lovesick Heartbreak Red countered.
"I believe that in your current state, you cannot leave the Pope Palace."
"Furthermore, judging by your tone just now, you are in a hurry, which leads me to conclude that your time in this current state is limited."
"If you do not agree, once you revert back into Lovesick Heartbreak Red, I will have Xiao Rou eat you.", Qian Xunji did not show weakness, his words carrying a hint of a threat.
"What a stingy little man."
"You don't care about that little rabbit as much as I imagined."
"Fine, let me think about what I can give you."
Lovesick Heartbreak Red finally compromised and fell into deep thought. She soon had an idea and asked two questions in succession: "Do you want to become a god?"
"Do you want to be free and unfettered, unbound by the God Realm?"
"You have a way?", Qian Xunji asked in return, not expecting such an unexpected delight.
"Of course.", Lovesick Heartbreak Red smiled slightly. "To become a god, one requires a god position."
"And to avoid being bound by the God Realm, one must find an ownerless god position."
"I happen to know of one."
"Within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there are the remains of two Dragon Kings. The skeletons are complete and preserve their Ice and Fire godheads."
"You can utilize these two godheads to condense a new god position, and at that point, you will be able to become a god."
"Of course, this is only the first step. Whether it is a new god or an old god, none can escape the detection of the God Realm's rules, unless you can instantly become a God King."
"Only a God King can manipulate the rules and shield oneself from the God Realm's detection."
"Of course, this assumes that the God King has never been to the God Realm."
"Once one has been to the God Realm, even a supreme God King is useless and will still be detected by the God Realm."
"However, you are fortunate to have met me."
"I can help you shield yourself from the rules of the God Realm, but not right now. You must wait until I have retrieved my true body."
"But I can first leave my mark upon you and teach you an ancient method to circulate that mark."
"That way, I won't have to keep running back and forth."
"Stingy little man, are you satisfied now?" Lovesick Heartbreak Red looked at Qian Xunji with a smile, confident that he would be tempted.
"Satisfied, satisfied, naturally satisfied."
"However, you need to pass the Ancient Method to me first." As long as he obtained the Ancient Method, Qian Xunji would have a way to verify whether Lovesick Heartbreak Red was lying.
"Truly cautious, a little man who refuses to suffer even the slightest loss."
"Fine, I agree." Lovesick Heartbreak Red gently tapped her index finger against Qian Xunji's forehead; the function of the Ancient Method was not just to operate the mark, but also to accelerate cultivation.
Once Qian Xunji witnessed it, he naturally understood its extraordinary nature.
Soon, a vast amount of information flooded into Qian Xunji's mind.
As the information surged in, the sound of the system echoed in his ears.
"Ding, detected information influx in the host's mind. The system is automatically organizing and categorizing it for the host."
"Information check complete. Classified as cultivation technique information. Opening a Cultivation Technique tab specifically for the host."
A light screen appeared within Qian Xunji's field of vision.
[Cultivation Technique: Ancient Phoenix Method (Severely Incomplete)]
Severely incomplete?
Qian Xunji clicked on the Ancient Phoenix Method with his consciousness, preparing to view its detailed information.
[Ancient Phoenix Method (Severely Incomplete): Missing the core mark; can only be used as an ordinary cultivation technique, but can greatly increase cultivation speed.]
After reading the system's explanation, Qian Xunji suddenly realized that it was missing the mark.
It seemed that even if an ordinary person obtained this technique, they could only use it as a standard one, and its many mysteries could only be enjoyed by him.
As expected, having a thick skin always led to unexpected gains.
"Alright, little man, stop staring. Even if you stare until the sky collapses, you won't be able to master the Ancient Phoenix Method tonight."
"My time is running out."
"Let's do something pleasurable instead," Lovesick Heartbreak Red urged, unable to hold back.
Looking down on him, were you?
You must be punished severely!
Qian Xunji tackled Lovesick Heartbreak Red, who was currently in the form of Xiao Rou, and punished her ruthlessly.
In the midst of the punishment, Qian Xunji chatted with Lovesick Heartbreak Red about her past.
Qian Xunji gained an understanding of her history.
She existed during the same era as the Dragon God.
She was a phoenix, yet not quite a phoenix.
Back then, the original phoenix body was split by the Dragon God, transforming into Feng and Huang.
Feng had already died, while Huang had lingered on until the present day.
Qian Xunji felt that calling her Lovesick Heartbreak Red didn't sound right, so he simply called her Big Huang or Ah Huang.
However, Huang did not like these names; she always felt that Qian Xunji was calling her a dog.
But wave after wave of sensations crashed over her, leaving her no time to worry about anything else, so she didn't bicker with Qian Xunji too much.
Qian Xunji was currently gripping Huang's hair as he asked, "Ah Huang, can we not kill Gu Yuena for now?"
"Qian Xunji, I've discovered that you are not only stingy but also very greedy, eyeing what's in the pot while eating from your bowl."
