[Ding! The system has detected that the host has completed the random task - Assisting the Three Xiaos and improving the formation. Reward: 5,000,000 Faith Points and 1,000,000 Cultivation Points!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Yunji was now stunned.

"Did I hear that right? Faith Points five million?"

When he came to his senses, he was overjoyed, but also incredulous. "System, oh system, you're acting strange today!"

"I just helped the Three Xiao Sisters modify the formation, and I actually got a reward of five million Faith Points Faith Points!"

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Faith Points can be obtained not only by absorbing Merit Clouds and Human Race faith, but the system also has a certain probability of dropping such rewards!]

Seemingly aware of Lin Yunji's doubts, the system kindly provided him with an explanation.

If Lin Yunji previously didn't want to hear the system's various notification sounds, this time, the content of the system notification sound was completely different for him!

That's five million Faith Points!

Doesn't this mean he can use Faith Points to find the remaining Heavenly Scar Fragment?

Or perhaps it's used for the growth of the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu!

No matter what he does, Faith Points are extremely important to Lin Yunji!

"Hahaha! Such a good thing? This system is truly unprecedented!"

So, in an instant, Lin Yunji couldn't contain his excitement and couldn't help but mutter, "Compared to these five million Faith Points, those one million Cultivation Points don't sound so bad at all; it's just a drop in the ocean!"

"The Three Xiao Sisters are extraordinary. The last time I met them, they directly gave me a Heavenly Scar Fragment!"

"Today I helped them modify this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, and they directly gave me five million Faith Points!"

"To me, aren't they like the Lady Nüwa? They're practically lucky stars!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yunji turned his gaze back to the Three Xiao Sisters of Sanxiao, becoming more and more satisfied with them.

"My God!!!" Bixiao also came to her senses at this moment and exclaimed loudly, "Big, Big, Big Senior Brother! You just threw out this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation with a wave of your hand!!! And it's an enhanced version!!!"

Bixiao's eyes widened in excitement; she was so excited that she kept imitating Lin Yunji's earlier actions, gesturing wildly and looking quite adorable.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Senior Brother! You're sooooo amazing!!!"

"It's just setting up a formation casually, is it really that big of a deal?"

Seeing Bixiao's expression and her constantly bouncing figure, Lin Yunji was at a loss for words.

"That Wind and Thunder Divine Formation from before, didn't I just wave my hand like that... and... um? Was it necessary?"

"This medicine is absolutely necessary!!! It's a must-have!"

At this moment, Qiongxiao, who was standing to the side, nodded sharply and said very seriously, "The Wind and Thunder Divine Formation was something that Senior Brother had already mastered long ago. The fact that you set it up casually only shows that you are already very familiar with this formation!"

"Hmm." Lin Yunji, but she still nodded with a serious expression. "Is that so!"

Yunxiao, having recovered her senses, looked at Lin Yunji with a gleam in her eyes and said with a smile, "But this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation is different. It's a memory passed down from my sister and me. Senior Brother only saw it once just now!"

"Not only could he immediately point out the shortcomings of our jointly constructed formation, but he also single-handedly set up this grand formation without using Hand Seals!"

"To be honest, if I hadn't been waiting here watching from the beginning, we would never have believed that this was actually true!"

"No, no, no, to be precise, even we sisters who were watching from the sidelines and witnessed it firsthand were utterly shocked! We simply couldn't believe it!"

"Senior Brother is truly a genius of formations!"

Faced with the heartfelt praise and undeniable admiration from the Three Xiao Sisters, Lin Yunji felt a little intimidated. He awkwardly touched his nose, inwardly thinking, "A genius of formations! It's just that the system copied all those formations; they're all in my brain. It's hard not to think of them!"

Lin Yunji looked at the Three Xiao Sisters, his gaze involuntarily drifting to their delicate, fair faces.

A mischievous thought involuntarily arose in Lin Yunji's mind, urging him to act quickly. He didn't even think about restraining himself; after all, it was agreed beforehand that he would help improve the formation, and they...

Then, he curled his lips into a wicked smile.

"Hey, there's no need for that, you don't have to praise me like that! Don't forget, before I helped you improve the formation, we agreed that helping with the formation modification wouldn't be free!" Lin Yunji winked teasingly.

While they were still immersed in Lin Yunji's amazing genius, upon hearing these words, the Three Xiaos suddenly stopped talking, their faces turning completely red.

Her gaze, which had been fixed on Lin Yunji, drifted away and never settled down again. She didn't even look at him directly, and she would quickly look away if she caught a glimpse of the hem of his clothes.

Especially after they saw the mischievous smirk on Lin Yunji's lips, they couldn't help but think of "thank you" and how to express their gratitude.

"Could it be... could it be that Senior Brother really wants us to do that?"

"Should we... should we refuse?"

"No! We can't go back on our word! Since we promised to... to... that, then..."

"Then... then how about... since he's our senior brother, we... we can... we can in our hearts, right!?"

The three women were busy communicating telepathically, Lin Yunji naturally didn't know, much less guess what they were saying.

After a long while, they seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. The three women looked at each other, nodded emphatically, and then turned their gazes toward each other.

Qiongxiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Yunxiao composed himself before saying to Lin Yunji, "Senior Brother, if it is... then you should come!"

Finally, Bixiao, usually so cheerful, bit her lip and looked earnestly at Lin Yunji, saying, "Senior Brother, we can agree! We're ready!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Three Xiao Sisters closed their eyes together and opened their arms to Lin Yunji.

This completely unguarded movement seemed to be waiting for him to do something.

But their trembling eyelashes and their lips pressed together nervously had already betrayed their inner feelings.

"Hahahaha, that's great!"

Upon seeing this, a fleeting doubt crossed Lin Yunji's mind, but he quickly dismissed it and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect the three of you to cooperate so well! Excellent, excellent!"

He couldn't help but think that the Three Xiao Sisters must have seen the flowers on Daoist Cihang's face and asked him about it, so they already knew that he liked to paint on the faces of beautiful women.

Lin Yunji felt reassured and began to create art on their faces with his fingers.

This time, Lin Yunji had already decided to paint a small snake of a different color on each of their pretty faces.

They also need to be varied in style!

"Ah! Really... really, is this how it has to be?"

Upon hearing Lin Yunji's laughter, the Three Xiao Sisters couldn't help but tremble slightly, their hearts growing increasingly tense.

They seemed to be both afraid and expectant, a feeling they themselves couldn't quite distinguish.

However, the Three Xiao Sisters immediately felt something was wrong; the expected sensation didn't occur, but instead, their faces...

It was an unusual sensation on their cheeks, a ticklish, tingling feeling.

Suddenly, the Three Xiaos all opened their eyes.

They immediately saw Lin Yunji waving his hand, moving it back and forth in the air, as if he were drawing something.

Furthermore, as Lin Yunji directed the dance, they felt a ticklish, tingling sensation on their cheeks.

Yunxiao was taken aback. "Senior Brother! What... what are you doing?"

"Senior Brother... he really isn't that kind of... that kind of..." Qiongxiao stared blankly for a while before letting out a soft sigh and transmitting her voice to Yunxiao and Bixiao.

Bixiao murmured, "Waaah, we all misunderstood! Senior Brother really didn't have those kinds of thoughts!"

They were all ashamed of their previous thoughts, and naturally felt extremely awkward when they saw Lin Yunji again, stammering and not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Lin Yunji finally stopped.

He stroked his chin, stared at them intently for a while, then nodded in satisfaction. He then smiled and said, "Very good! It seems my painting skills have improved considerably, and I've incorporated a lot of artistic conception. These three little snakes even seem to have life of their own; they look so lifelike!"

"What do you mean, 'lifelike'!?"

The Three Xiao Sisters were taken aback by what he said and exchanged a glance.

Hehehehehe!

"Giggle giggle!"

In an instant, Bixiao couldn't help but laugh.

She pointed at Yunxiao and Qiongxiao's cheeks, laughing uncontrollably, and said, "Big sister, second sister, you... hee hee hee... you have a snake on your face... hahaha!"

"Third sister, you have one on your face too! If I didn't look closely, I would have thought it was real!" Yunxiao said.

Qiongxiao looked over and nodded in agreement. Bixiao hadn't believed it before, but seeing her second sister nod, she quickly raised her hand to touch her cheek.

"..."

The three sisters looked at each other for a long time, and then fell silent.

"How so?"

They murmured to themselves.

Suddenly, to Lin Yunji's surprise, the Three Xiao Sisters took out a small mirror from somewhere and began to carefully examine their faces.

The mirror immediately reflected a small snake on their cheek, its fangs bared, as if it were alive.

"Ah!" Yunxiao was startled. "This..."

"..." Qiongxiao didn't know what to say, she opened her mouth but no sound came out.

"My God! Senior Brother, you... you... you actually drew little snakes on our faces!!!"

Bixiao covered her face with one hand and pointed at Lin Yunji with the other, "You... you... you've gone too far! Senior Brother... you've really gone too far... Senior Brother!"

Lin Yunji curled her lip dismissively, "Don't be like that, we had an agreement before! Don't act like I'm bullying you!"

Faced with Bixiao's accusations, Lin Yunji waved his hand, "Forget it. Since I promised to help you and kept my promise, I naturally have to get something in return!"

Want to get some benefits back?

The eldest brother was drawing on their faces; he called this "getting something back"?

The Three Xiao Sisters were very angry.

However, they couldn't say anything about the most important thing, because this had indeed been agreed upon beforehand.

They could only secretly use their Law Power to try to remove the small snakes from their faces, but no matter how hard they tried, the snakes on their faces could not be erased, and the Three Xiao Sisters had no choice but to accept it.

Hehehe!

At this moment, Bixiao suddenly burst out laughing. She touched the small emerald snake on her cheek, her smile as radiant as a flower. "When I first saw it, I couldn't accept it, but after looking at it carefully for a long time, I actually think it's not bad at all."

"It seems... it seems to be true..." Yunxiao looked at his face in the bronze mirror again and nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's strange, but it's really beautiful!" Qiongxia said as well.

Therefore, with their self-acceptance, the Three Xiao Sisters quickly came to terms with it.

After all, this little snake looks so lifelike. Although it looks a bit strange, it's still a kind of fun, much better than any other monsters or demons!

"Ah, right!" Lin Yunji suddenly remembered something and said.

He smiled at the Three Xiao Sisters and asked, "You all closed your eyes and opened your arms to me just now. I thought you knew what I was going to do. Why did you all look surprised? Didn't you prepare yourselves beforehand? Did you know I was going to draw on your cheeks?"

Upon hearing Lin Yunji's words, the Three Xiao Sisters blushed again.

They looked away, stammering and offering no clear answer.

Certainly!

We can't expect them to tell the truth!

Are you going to say, "We all thought our senior brother... was thinking about this and that..."?

How could they possibly say such things?!

Lin Yunji waited a while but they didn't give him a clear answer. Seeing that they didn't want to talk about it, Lin Yunji was too lazy to dwell on it any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to say, go back and cultivate!"

"I have other matters to attend to and need to travel to the Primordial Wilderness Continent. Our paths diverge, so let us part ways here."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Lin Yunji say he was leaving, the Three Xiao Sisters were all stunned, their faces showing a blank expression, as if they were quite reluctant to see him go.

"Senior Brother, where are you going? Why don't you take us with you?"

Bixiao suddenly slipped to Lin Yunji's side, took his arm, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Senior Brother, please? Please!"
