Xue Tianyu compared them and felt that the first two skills were more useful.
But overall, it was still a skill granted by a Million-Year Soul Bone. It might come in handy someday.
Xue Tianyu looked at Xiao Wu, who was crouching in the corner of the bathroom and trembling, and calculated that since the reward for his first sign-in had been so good, the second sign-in reward should not be weak either.
His Sign-in System was not a one-time thing.
He had previously signed in on several people repeatedly while cultivating.
It was just that repeated sign-ins caused the subsequent rewards to diminish greatly.
For other people, that would have been fine. After the reduction, the rewards would not even be worth a dog's attention.
But Xiao Wu was different.
Even if the rewards from signing in on her were halved, they would still be substantial.
If he signed in on her repeatedly a few more times, the accumulated rewards would be quite considerable.
Since that was the case, why not squeeze her dry?
Xue Tianyu eagerly anticipated what rewards he would receive after signing in on Xiao Wu, who carried the protagonist's halo, several times in a row.
As for her Soul Ring, he would consider giving it to Qian Renxue once the sign-in rewards became nearly useless.
Though it was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, it was not particularly compatible with Qian Renxue's angel attribute.
If there was nothing suitable by then, she could use it.
At that moment, Xiao Wu saw Xue Tianyu's gaze sweep over her body several times. She thought her beauty and seductive lingerie had finally caught his interest.
This was her only chance to escape!
Xiao Wu quickly affected a cutesy voice.
She had heard that this could stir a man's desire and pity.
"Big brother~~"
"Brother Xue Tianyu~~"
"If you want Xiao Wu, you can have her anytime. As long as you let Xiao Wu go, Xiao Wu promises to come whenever you call and serve only big brother forever~~"
Xiao Wu toyed with the straps of her clothes as she spoke in that affected voice.
To her, the tantalizing glimpses of her body and cleavage were her lifeline!
She believed no one in the world could resist her seductive figure and alluring voice.
Unfortunately...
She had met Xue Tianyu.
Xue Tianyu had grown up beside the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
He possessed an almost innate resistance to beautiful women.
"Stop forcing that voice. It sounds awful."
Xue Tianyu's words struck Xiao Wu like a blow to the head, leaving her unable to speak.
"No, I..."
"You..."
Xiao Wu was so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes.
Who said that this kind of voice was a man's weakness?
Come out here. I swear I won't beat you to death!
Looking at Xue Tianyu's clear-eyed expression, Xiao Wu knew she could not seduce him.
She could only change tactics.
They said sincerity was the ultimate weapon. Large tears fell from Xiao Wu's eyes onto the floor.
"Can you please not kill me? I came to the human world to take revenge."
"My mother died at the hands of Pope Bibi Dong. I only wanted to take revenge on Bibi Dong... Please let me go. As long as I can get my revenge, I can be a dog for you afterward, work like an ox or horse, anything..."
Xiao Wu's voice was soft and frail, as though revenge was truly the only thing she desired.
Yet her words made Xue Tianyu frown deeply.
The mention of Bibi Dong already angered Xue Tianyu.
As a fellow avenger, Xiao Wu's actions made him look down on her even more.
"That sounds nice."
Xue Tianyu sneered and stared at Xiao Wu with blazing eyes as he questioned her.
"After coming to the human world, how much of your mind did you actually devote to revenge?"
Xiao Wu was stunned.
She had not expected Xue Tianyu to expose her so directly.
"I suppose all you thought about every day was how to date Tang San, right?"
"Eating, drinking, and having fun—you excel at all of it. But the things you actually had to do to get revenge, you have not done a single one."
"And you call that wanting revenge?"
Xue Tianyu grabbed Xiao Wu's ponytail in one hand.
"Seeing you like this, your mother would probably want to climb out of her coffin just to hunt you down."
"A useless fool who cannot avenge her, weak-willed enough to do nothing but run away."
Xue Tianyu's words were like steel needles stabbing straight into Xiao Wu's lungs.
"No, it wasn't like that... I..."
Xiao Wu felt as though she could not breathe. Her mind shut down completely, and an expression of utter pain appeared on her face.
She wanted to explain, but she realized that no matter what she said, it would sound like an excuse.
Because she really did seem to have forgotten about revenge after meeting Tang San, just as Xue Tianyu had said.
She clearly had an irreconcilable hatred for humans, yet now all she could think about was falling in love with one.
That truly was letting her mother down...
At that moment, all words were pale and powerless.
Xiao Wu fell silent.
Knock knock.
Just then, someone knocked on Xue Tianyu's door.
Xue Tianyu glanced at Xiao Wu, then locked the bathroom door before going to answer it.
"Hm? Auntie Ice, why are you here?"
Seeing the Ice Empress standing outside in pajamas, Xue Tianyu instinctively tried to block the gap in the doorway with his body.
But how nimble was the Ice Empress?
With a flash, she slipped straight into Xue Tianyu's room.
Xue Tianyu had no choice but to close the door.
After entering, the Ice Empress stretched lazily, then turned and pulled Xue Tianyu into her arms.
Pressed against the Ice Empress's chest, Xue Tianyu found the faint, refreshing scent he had smelled for more than a decade comforting.
"Sleep with Auntie Ice tonight." The Ice Empress smiled and rubbed Xue Tianyu's head. "I happen to have a little insomnia tonight."
"Huh?" Xue Tianyu glanced toward the bathroom. "That... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
In truth, Xue Tianyu mainly felt that the timing was bad.
After all, Xiao Wu was still hidden in the bathroom, dressed rather improperly.
The Ice Empress did not know about that. Instead, she thought Xue Tianyu had grown up and no longer wanted to be close to her.
So she immediately frowned and pinched Xue Tianyu's cheek.
"What? I used to hold you while you slept all the time when you were little. Now that you've grown up, you don't want to sleep with Auntie Ice anymore?"
"Tsk tsk, how distant."
The Ice Empress clicked her tongue and shook her head, leaving Xue Tianyu both amused and helpless.
"Then... all right."
He was very helpless, but as long as the Ice Empress did not discover anything, it would be fine.
At that very moment, a woman's crying came from the bathroom.
"Hm? Is someone in the bathroom?"
The Ice Empress's hearing was incredibly sharp. Even through the thick door, she heard Xiao Wu sobbing.
"N-No one."
Xue Tianyu did not really want the Ice Empress to see Xiao Wu.
But the unnatural expression on his face gave away what he was thinking.
"Impossible. That is clearly a woman's voice from the bathroom." The Ice Empress looked at Xue Tianyu with a teasing smile. "Our Tianyu has learned to hide a beauty in a golden house?"
Seeing the evasiveness in Xue Tianyu's eyes, the Ice Empress became even more certain of her guess. She immediately pushed Xue Tianyu aside and headed for the bathroom.
Xue Tianyu pressed one hand to his forehead.
It was over.
He had forgotten to order Xiao Wu not to make any sound...
Bang!
The Ice Empress opened the bathroom door.
The first thing she saw was a soft pink cascade of wavy hair.
Then, the Ice Empress saw Xiao Wu's collar and the seductive outfit that barely covered three points.
"Uh..."
Xue Tianyu quickly stepped forward, wanting to explain.
"Auntie Ice, I..."
"Don't interrupt. I'm thinking..." The Ice Empress decisively cut him off.
She approached Xiao Wu, and the aura of a ferocious beast around her crushed Xiao Wu so thoroughly that she did not dare say a word.
Of course, even if she wanted to speak, she could not. Her body was bound tightly in nylon rope.
That style of bondage was rather effective at emphasizing certain areas.
Paired with the seductive lingerie Xiao Wu was wearing, it looked quite obscene...
The Ice Empress was somewhat at a loss.
"Ah, this..."
She turned and scrutinized Xue Tianyu carefully.
"Well, Tianyu, you, you, you..."
The Ice Empress sighed. "I never expected you to play so wildly in private?"
"Uh, no, listen to my sophistry... No, my explanation!"
"Fine. I'll listen to your sophistry."
The Ice Empress closed the bathroom door and walked over to sit on the bed.
"It isn't what you think..."
