Early the next morning.
The Azure Cloud Sect was in an uproar.
“Have you heard? A new Supreme Elder has joined our sect!”
“They say he’s only a little over forty and already at the late stage Golden Core Realm!”
“… ”
A group of female disciples gathered together, chattering non-stop. One of them held a portrait of Li Qingxuan, her eyes sparkling. “This Supreme Elder is way too handsome… I wonder if he’s married…”
“You must be desperate!”
The companion beside her rolled her eyes. “Instead of going after young disciples, you’re eyeing the Supreme Elder?”
“What’s wrong with being older?”
The female disciple argued back, “Older men know how to care for people! Besides, if I could get close to someone like him, would I still have to worry about cultivation resources?”
“As if he’d even look at you.”
“I… I may be weak, but I’m young, pretty, have a great figure, and I’m good in bed!”
“… ”
Not far away, a servant female disciple who was sweeping quietly perked up her ears. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face. After hesitating for a moment, it seemed she had made up her mind…
At the same time.
On Azure Cloud Peak.
Li Qingxuan opened his eyes. The beauty beside his pillow had already left, leaving behind only a faint lingering fragrance.
He stretched lazily, looking somewhat annoyed. “Careless… when I moved, I forgot to bring that ancestral manual, ‘One Hundred and Eight Positions of the Spring Palace.’ I couldn’t unlock any new positions last night.”
Su Yanran had gone into seclusion to prepare for the newcomer competition, so she would not be coming these days.
His son Li Chuan had also gone to the Trial Tower for training. The entire Azure Cloud Peak was left with only him.
He had thought about cultivating to pass the time.
But with the system, as long as his son became stronger, he would become infinitely stronger as well. Why bother cultivating at all?
Before transmigrating, he had already worked himself to exhaustion in the company. After coming to the cultivation world, was he supposed to compete with a bunch of youngsters again? Then what was the point of transmigrating?
However…
With only one son, he still felt it wasn’t enough!
Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open. A charming figure stumbled inside.
“Senior, save me!”
Her clothes were half-loosened, revealing her fragrant shoulder as she threw herself straight into Li Qingxuan’s arms.
Her hair was disheveled, a few strands sticking to her sweat-dampened face, making her look even more pitiful.
Li Qingxuan widened his eyes.
The girl looked about eighteen years old, stunningly beautiful.
Her peach blossom eyes were watery, the corners slightly raised, like a seductive fox spirit.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, her breath soft and fragrant.
Most eye-catching was her figure, perfectly curved in all the right places. Half-hidden and half-revealed, it only made her more alluring.
Jiang Meier.
Well now.
Where did this delivery come from?
What kind of scheme was this sly woman playing?
“Senior…”
The girl cried like a pear blossom in rain. “Please save me. My name is Jiang Meier. I’m a servant disciple.”
“Two Outer Sect senior brothers tried to… to violate me. I ran here with all my strength…”
Li Qingxuan raised an eyebrow. “Where are those two Outer Sect disciples?”
“This is the Inner Sect. They wouldn’t dare come up here…”
Jiang Meier looked nervously toward the courtyard gate. “I don’t know if they’ve left yet…”
Li Qingxuan looked at her with a faint smile, as if he were watching a fool.
This was the main peak of the Azure Cloud Sect. If someone had truly been chasing her, how could a mere servant disciple have made it here?
Still, he had nothing better to do. He was curious to see what this little fox was planning.
“I see…”
Li Qingxuan pretended to be concerned. “Then what do you want to do?”
With a thud, Jiang Meier knelt down, tears glistening in her eyes. “Senior, I don’t dare go down the mountain anymore. Please let me stay here.”
“I’ll do anything, even serve as a maid or slave!”
Li Qingxuan barely held back his laughter and said meaningfully, “Anything? Are you sure?”
Jiang Meier’s face turned red as she softly hummed in agreement. Right in front of him, she began to untie her clothes, revealing her flawless body.
“Wait, stay back.”
Li Qingxuan quickly stopped her, his eyes widening. “I’m not interested in a woman who offers herself to everyone. Don’t go spreading diseases to me.”
Jiang Meier’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Senior… I… I’m still pure…”
“So skilled at undressing while still pure?”
Li Qingxuan sneered. “If you had more experience, would you just run in naked?”
“I… I…”
“Enough.”
Li Qingxuan cut her off directly. “If you have something to say, say it. If you want to act, then get lost.”
“Please don’t drive me away!”
Panicking, Jiang Meier grabbed his pant leg. “I know you are the Supreme Elder… I admit it, I came to find you with a purpose.”
She bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. “I used to live outside Qingzhou City. My family wasn’t rich, but we lived peacefully.”
“But half a year ago, people from the Evil Valley broke into our village and killed my parents… I wasn’t home, so I barely survived.”
“After learning that the Azure Cloud Sect and the Evil Valley are mortal enemies, I joined the sect, hoping to cultivate and avenge my parents.”
“But my talent is limited. Even though I barely passed the test, I could only become a servant disciple…”
Her voice choked with emotion. “Until now, I haven’t even succeeded in Qi Refining. No talent, no resources, no connections… at this rate, I’ll never get my revenge. I had no other choice, so I thought of you…”
“I see…”
Li Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, finally interested. “So what do you want? Do you want me to avenge you by killing the people from the Evil Valley, or help you increase your strength?”
Jiang Meier suddenly raised her head, determination flashing in her eyes. “I want to become stronger! I want to take revenge myself!”
“And what can you offer?” Li Qingxuan asked with a faint smile.
Jiang Meier’s face turned red, but she still said firmly, “I… I have nothing. Only my body.”
“Supreme Elder, if you’re willing, I… I can serve you forever. No matter what… positions, I can learn.”
Her voice became almost inaudible by the end.
This Supreme Elder was her only hope. If he refused her, she didn’t know what to do.
Li Qingxuan’s eyes widened.
Well now, that was straightforward enough. It almost tempted him.
But…
The cultivation world was full of beautiful women. No matter how he thought about it, this didn’t seem like a good deal.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Didn’t he have the Child-Raising Success System?
If he accepted a foster daughter and raised her well, could that also trigger returns?
[Ding! Detected Jiang Meier’s favorability toward the host has exceeded 60%. Conditions met. Do you wish to bind her as a foster daughter?]
[After binding, the foster daughter’s growth will also grant return rewards. However, only cultivation level returns will be given, and the return multiplier will be at most one-tenth of that of a biological child.]
[When Jiang Meier’s favorability toward the host reaches 100%, the return multiplier will increase to one-fifth.]
[Note: After binding as a foster daughter, no intimate relationship is allowed. If the host desires otherwise, please unbind in advance.]
Li Qingxuan’s eyes lit up.
This works too?
With the system’s confirmation, Li Qingxuan looked at Jiang Meier seriously. “Since you’ve said so, I’ll give you a chance.”
“How about becoming my foster daughter?”
Sleeping could be done anytime, but opportunities to boost strength like this were rare.
Of course.
He wanted both.
First increase his strength, then reward himself later!
Jiang Meier froze for a moment, then burst into tears of joy and quickly kowtowed. “Thank you, Supreme Elder!”
But then she showed a puzzled expression. “However… what does foster daughter mean?”
Li Qingxuan replied seriously, “Exactly what it sounds like.”
Jiang Meier muttered to herself, “Foster… daughter?”
Suddenly, she thought of something, and her face turned bright red.
She understood.
That word should be read in the fourth tone.
