Lin Yu froze for a moment. A “Charisma Gift Package”? What the hell was that?
Curious, he immediately clicked to open it.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received the Affinity Aura (Level 1)!]
[Affinity Aura affects all people within a 100-meter radius, making them subconsciously drawn to the Host!]
[Note: The aura can be upgraded. Requires 1,000 Luck Value. Upgrade now?]
[Current Host Affinity: 100 + 80 (80 from aura bonus)!]
Lin Yu was stunned. Damn, even something as abstract as affinity could be enhanced by this aura?
He opened the affinity comparison and was even more shocked—an average person had around 50 affinity. Even a Child of Destiny only had about 120 on average!
Yet he hadn’t even upgraded the aura and already had 180. This was completely insane!
You had to know, a Child of Destiny could grow rapidly, with followers gathering around wherever they went. That was all thanks to high affinity. Clearly, it was an incredibly important stat.
At the same time, Lin Qingdi’s expression had turned incredibly dark as he faced Sun Ying’s expulsion.
“Fine, you said it yourself. I hope you won’t regret your decision today. Don’t come begging me later!”
His rage surged. He was an Immortal Emperor, and choosing the Sun Family as a stepping stone was the greatest fortune their ancestors could’ve dreamed of. Yet this Sun Ying dared to drive him away?
But Sun Ying only cared about her grandfather’s health. She had no time to argue with Lin Qingdi and turned around to walk back into the residence.
Her disregard pushed Lin Qingdi over the edge.
“This woman dares ignore me!”
His eyes filled with gloom. Back in the heavens, countless celestial fairies and Saintesses would line up to throw themselves at him. And now this Sun Ying didn’t even know what was good for her?
He then turned and glared furiously at Gu Ling’er. “It’s all your fault, you crazy hag!”
Gu Ling’er stuck out her tongue and made a face, “Bite me if you can!”
She turned and ran off, even looking back from time to time to mock him, driving Lin Qingdi mad. He instantly chased after her, ready to chop her into pieces.
“Pfft!” Just as he started chasing, the side effects of burning his blood and Qi struck. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura weakened instantly.
He stared darkly at Gu Ling’er and gritted his teeth. “You’re lucky today. Once I recover a bit of strength, I’ll chop off your head and make you regret this day!”
Elsewhere, the Ninefold Sacred Domain and the Taichu Sacred Domain had descended into chaos.
News that Lin Yu had “eloped” with Gu Ling’er shocked all the elders. Both domains began dispatching powerful cultivators to search for the two.
Lin Xiaotian was so anxious he paced in circles. “What the hell is Lin Yu thinking? He clearly likes Gu Ling’er, so why did he go confess to Su Yao instead?”
He couldn’t begin to guess what Lin Yu was plotting. Right now, he just wanted to find Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er as soon as possible—they were the future of both domains!
A Clan Elder pondered and then suggested, “Sect Master, it’s possible that Young Master Lin Yu was deliberately testing Gu Ling’er’s feelings. Su Yao might’ve just been a tool.”
“We suggest publicly announcing the engagement between Young Master and Gu Ling’er. Then withdraw the betrothal to Su Yao. The Young Master should return on his own after that.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian’s eyes lit up. “That makes sense! Let’s do that. But who should we send?”
At this moment, a Clan Elder from the Feng family stepped forward. “Sect Master, I believe Feng Qi is perfect for the task!”
Lin Yu was riding a wave of momentum. Meanwhile, Feng Qi was still stuck at the Cliff of Reflection. If he didn’t come out soon and make himself useful, he’d fade into a nameless background character.
Lin Xiaotian didn’t refuse. “Then get to it immediately!”
At the Cliff of Reflection…
Feng Qi’s face was bruised and battered. He was running for his life, panic written all over his face. “Why are you chasing me?!”
Behind him, a Ferocious Winged Beast sneered and continued the chase. “Because Master said… you have Brain Syrup!”
Feng Qi almost spat blood on the spot. What the hell was Brain Syrup? When had he ever provoked anyone?!
Ever since entering the Cliff of Reflection, he hadn’t even started looking for so-called fortune before this Ferocious Winged Beast started chasing him. It had been three days now—nonstop!
His legs were about to break.
Just when he thought all hope was lost, the barrier of the Cliff of Reflection opened. A Feng Clan Elder poked his head in. “Young Master Feng, I’m here to save you!”
Feng Qi was so overwhelmed that tears poured out. He bolted toward the exit like a madman. “Elder He, I love you!”
Helplessness. Despair. Stunned silence. Ecstatic joy!
Feng Qi’s emotional rollercoaster was perfectly displayed. At the final moment, he burst out of the Cliff of Reflection.
He was free. Finally free!
Feng Qi laughed wildly toward the sky. He had never felt such happiness in freedom before.
Elder He looked at him in shock. “Young Master Feng, what happened to you? Did you lose your mind?”
It had only been a few days, but Feng Qi looked like a different person. Elder He hadn’t noticed the Ferocious Winged Beast and just assumed Feng Qi had gone mad.
Elder He snapped out of it and quickly explained what had happened over the past few days.
Upon hearing it all, Feng Qi’s eyes lit up brighter and brighter. “You want me to go to the Su Clan and deliver Lin Yu’s withdrawal notice? Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!”
He sneered inwardly. Lin Yu, after what you’ve put me through, don’t blame me for labeling you a scumbag!
In the Su Clan.
Su Yuanshan’s face darkened as he stared at the public announcement from the Ninefold Sacred Domain and the Taichu Sacred Domain. In fury, he tore it to shreds. “Ninefold Sacred Domain, you played me!”
Lin Yu had made fools of them all!
All that talk about staying by Su Yao’s side—turned out she was just a tool to test Gu Ling’er’s feelings!
Su Yuanshan clenched his teeth. “Stop Su Yao’s resources immediately! If she’s not getting married, there’s no reason to waste our cultivation resources on her!”
When Su Yao learned of this, her beautiful face turned ice cold. She shouted in fury, “Lin Yu, you lied to me!”
In that instant, all her Favorability toward Lin Yu dropped to zero. All that remained was hatred—endless, consuming hatred.
Su Yao’s delicate body trembled. “Today you’ve humiliated me. One day, I, Su Yao, will make you repay this a thousand times over!”
As her words fell, a wave of true Qi surged within her. Clearly, she had found all the herbs needed except the Heavenly Star Grass and successfully refined the pill. She had regained her qualification to cultivate!
At the same time, inside Wangtian City, Lin Yu’s expression changed drastically. “What the hell just happened?!”
[Ding! Detected Child of Destiny Su Yao’s Favorability toward Host is rapidly decreasing!]
[Su Yao Favorability: 50!]
[Su Yao Favorability: 20!]
[Su Yao Favorability: -100!]
[Warning! If Su Yao’s Favorability drops to -200, the situation will be irreversible!]
Lin Yu stared at the system prompt in panic. His eyelids twitched wildly. Who the hell did this?!
He’d worked so hard to build up Su Yao’s Favorability, and now it was crashing like a falling star!
Just then, Gu Ling’er ran over excitedly. “Lin Yu! Great news, great news!”
She beamed, “I just heard the announcement ringing from the Sacred Domain bell. Guess what? We weren’t exposed at all. They thought we eloped, and the Ninefold Sacred Domain and Taichu Sacred Domain actually announced our engagement to the world!”
Her words hit Lin Yu like a sledgehammer, slamming down on his head.
He was completely stunned.
