The System's First Reward

"N-No... You can't. If you do that to me, once I recover, I-I'll definitely kill... kill you, then kill myself." Sensing that the strong, powerful "Lei Qi" was about to force its way directly into her opening, Yun Yun hurriedly said.

"Heh, that sounds so familiar." Lei Qi smacked his lips.

Just when Yun Yun thought it was over, Lei Qi added, "Do you take me for Xiao Huohuo?"

Outside the cave.

Zhang Yi quietly watched the surroundings. As for the cave itself, he did not dare turn his head toward it at all.

Yun Yun was merely an ordinary woman without Dou Qi, so naturally she could not harm Lei Qi.

And what could Lei Qi possibly do after taking a ripe peach back with him? Zhang Yi had some idea. At a time like this, if he carelessly watched, would he not be courting death?

Just then, he heard Yun Yun's intermittent moans.

Instinctively, Zhang Yi moved even farther away.

Elsewhere, within a forest.

"Teacher, do you think that female Dou Emperor knows the expert who saved her?" Ever since that Dou Emperor woman had been taken away by Lei Qi, Xiao Yan had felt strangely unsettled.

Perhaps, in Xiao Yan's view, it was simply because she was beautiful, and he did not want such a beauty to be subjected to that for no reason.

Medicine Elder did not respond.

In his opinion, they definitely could not have known each other.

The Northwestern Continent was such a small place. How could a Dou Venerable-level expert possibly come here?

Of course, it was hard to say for certain.

What if they truly did know each other?

Since he could not determine the relationship between the two, he naturally had no intention of answering.

Seeing that Medicine Elder did not respond, Xiao Yan did not ask again. After all, he still had a grudge to avenge, and he also wanted to see the Little Fairy Doctor from Green Mountain Town again.

That night, inside the cave.

The cave had not been cold before, but it had been somewhat damp. Yet after Lei Qi's flames burned through it, the cave had instead become unbearably dry.

Then, he wrapped Yun Yun in his black robe and picked her up.

"Mmph~"

Yun Yun slowly opened her exhausted eyes. The moment she was lifted, she instinctively stretched out her flawless white arms and wrapped them around Lei Qi's neck.

"Y-You... what are you doing again~?" Yun Yun looked at Lei Qi with some fear.

Over the course of that afternoon, she simply could not imagine that she had actually survived???

At one point, she had thought she might die.

That bastard Lei Qi had gone everywhere, from two peaks to three caves.

The stone walls, the stone bed that had been sliced flat with a single palm strike—those were all Lei Qi's handiwork!

And she could only passively endure his onslaught.

"You're covered in sweat and starting to stink. Where do you think I'm taking you?" Lei Qi said.

"You're the one who stinks!" Yun Yun was furious. Then she did something shocking—she leaned over and bit Lei Qi on the neck.

"Crunch!"

"Hiss."

Unfortunately, it was nothing like she had imagined. That bite nearly shattered her teeth!

"Are you a magical beast?!" Yun Yun was both pained and angry.

She had not expected that she could not even bite him after failing to defeat him.

She could not help thinking that she should have tried somewhere softer earlier.

"My body is just a little tougher than usual." Lei Qi did not mind. Then he carried her out of the cave.

After spreading out his soul perception, confirming that no one was nearby, and noticing Zhang Yi keeping watch from afar, he brought Yun Yun to the lake beneath the mountain spring.

"Splash~"

Then, he tossed Yun Yun into the lake. "All right, hurry up."

"Hmph!"

Yun Yun endured her discomfort, but as a woman, she still cared greatly about how she smelled.

She had considered making herself smell worse to drive Lei Qi away, but merely thinking about it made Yun Yun unable to stand it herself.

[ Ding, congratulations to the host on having his first spring. Would you like to claim the reward? ]

Since gaining this golden finger, it had finally begun to shine today!

Actually, the system had prompted him the moment he entered, but at that time, how could Lei Qi have paid attention to such things?

More importantly, Yun Yun had initially worn an expression as though she would kill him and then commit suicide. Yet after he entered, that resolute attitude had long since vanished without a trace.

"Claim it."

[ Ding, congratulations to the host on obtaining the experience of a sixth-tier alchemist. ]

[ Ding, congratulations to the host on obtaining one hundred sixth-tier pills of various types. ]

Note: (Rewards are distributed in ranks one through nine according to the host's cultivation realm. At present, the host can obtain sixth-rank rewards, with a chance of obtaining seventh-rank rewards. There are also special rewards; the lower the rank of the special reward, the greater the chance of obtaining it.)

(First times are always special. You may receive two rewards. The host must work harder and have offspring in order to obtain more rewards.)

After Lei Qi claimed the rewards, the alchemy skills in his mind, which had previously been far from proficient, suddenly felt as though they had been tempered a thousand times. His flame-control ability had also greatly improved.

In an instant, he became a peak sixth-tier alchemist, and even his soul power had increased considerably.

At the same time, his storage ring contained a full hundred sixth-tier medicinal pills. Among them were plenty of Emperor's Extreme Pills, Dou Spirit Pills, and Sect-Breaking Pills. There were even all kinds of sixth-tier healing pills, Dou Qi recovery pills, and seal-breaking pills.

From these rewards, it seemed that although he could now use the system, the highest rewards he could obtain were things needed by a Dou Sect.

But what were those special rewards?

And why did lower realms mean higher chances?

For a moment, Lei Qi was somewhat puzzled.

However, his confusion lasted only an instant. In truth, given his talent, the system was merely the icing on the cake.

Whatever it gave him, he would take. Even without it, he could still grow strong. With it, becoming stronger would simply be easier.

Having thought it through, Lei Qi turned his gaze toward the lake.

The crystal-clear water and flawless white skin made Lei Qi feel that he could accept admiring such a beautiful sight for an entire night.

The next moment, he leaped up and plunged directly into the water.

Within the basin.

"The young master has been gone for an entire day. Why hasn't he come back yet?" Cao Ying puffed out her cheeks and said anxiously.

"Miss Cao Ying, the young master is fine. He probably found a suitable place and is cultivating," Yang Ji replied.

In truth, he knew what Lei Qi was doing, but how could he possibly speak of such a thing?

And the reason he treated Cao Ying so well was naturally because he could tell that Lei Qi doted on her greatly.

Yes, while Lei Qi had yet to take power, she might not hold much status. But if nothing unexpected happened, Lei Qi would inevitably become the young clan leader in the future.

By then, the status of someone like Cao Ying, who was by his bedside, would undoubtedly soar rapidly. If he currried favor with her now, then once Lei Qi rose to power, he would surely receive preferential treatment as well.

"Then when will he come back?" Cao Ying asked again.

"Sister Cao Ying, when an expert at the young master's level cultivates, it may take ten days or even eight days at a time. Rather than waiting like this, you should focus on cultivating," the Little Fairy Doctor said, glancing at Cao Ying.

After several days of contact, Cao Ying no longer held any hostility toward the Little Fairy Doctor. Moreover, after learning some things about her, she had been deeply moved.

Hearing the Little Fairy Doctor's advice, Cao Ying thought it made sense. If she could form Dou Qi wings, how could he possibly refuse to take her with him?
