[ Host, finally it’s done ^_^]
The system issued an alert after countless attempts to synthesize the Devereaux bloodline from the available data. It encountered numerous errors while attempting to eliminate its drawback that resembled a deficiency within the bloodline, but ultimately succeeded in perfecting the final result.
‘I can see…’, Positioned next to the railing, Ryuk’s gaze hardened as he detected a force surpassing his own strength, as though the entire internal energy of the area had been forcefully drawn in, converging within the Wei family.
Ryuk glanced towards Esme, who appeared to be cocooned in a blanket, most likely fallen asleep. Looking at her, he turned his glance back towards the sky and added,” Lady Drishti, you know it’s bad to peek into a couple’s bedroom?”
“How did you do it?”, Drishti came straight to the point as she arrived beside Ryuk, leaning against the railing with her hands for support before glancing at him. Her eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, showed depth as she looked at him.
“Hm, why should I tell you?”, Matching her stare, Ryuk leaned closer to the railing, fixing his eyes on her with the same fervor, fully aware that this woman was probably scheming against him out of sight yet acting like this in front of him.
“….I will give you him”, Drishti snapped her finger, causing a child, appearing like 12 or 13 years old, to hover in the air, wearing short pants as his horns and striped black pupils revealed his identity as a demon.
‘Baster! Save be!’, Belial cried inwardly as his eyes widened looking towards Ryuk, seeing that there was a chance for him to survive this woman given his master’s presence.
“Kill him”, Ryuk, with a blank gaze, nonchalantly gestured, turning his eyes away once again towards the scene.
[ You are cruel, Host =_= ]
“I will”, Drishti, seeing that it appeared as if Ryuk had no use for Belial, nodded and decided to kill that demon after his work was over.
“Nbph!” Due to his mouth disappearing, Belial’s skin began to stretch as he tried to cry out without making any sound, and he inwardly referred to Ryuk as a ‘baster!’
“But why do you have him?”, Ryuk, though acting nonchalant, was trying to see through Drishti. He was aware that the moment she said she would kill Belial, it was clear that she had some use for him and most likely would not kill him until her work was done.
And given the fact that Ryuk was well aware of how much trouble she caused him by increasing her interests, it was clear that the work would definitely not be in Ryuk’s favor.
“I will tell you if you tell me how you did it,” Drishti once again inquired while glancing through her eyes, observing him completely clothed, understanding that nothing must have happened between him and Esme.
“Let’s forget about this then,” Ryuk shook his head, not wanting to reveal anything to this woman just to get information about what she wanted to do with a demon.
“Fine, let’s forget about this,” Drishti lifted her hand and snapped, causing Belial to vanish once again. She couldn’t help but glance in Ryuk’s direction, feeling quite piqued since he had achieved something that wasn’t possible for anyone else.
The drawback in the Devereaux bloodline was like a mechanism that destroyed the bloodline of a person along with killing them. But this man not only survived the drawback but also awakened his bloodline once again.
Naturally, this was something that interested her in knowing. But she controlled herself, feeling that she would eventually know this, and turned as she walked before snapping her fingers and disappearing.
‘She seems to not know about the drawback removal yet,’ Ryuk, looking at how silently that woman came and left, at least became assured that she only knew he awakened his bloodline, not that he had suppressed the drawback of that bloodline. Otherwise, who knew what she might do? This made it clear that he was not going to ever tell her about his bloodline’s drawback being solved.
[ Host, you sacrificed Belial (￣ヘ￣;) ]
‘He was useless,’ Ryuk replied as he walked towards the room before taking a seat on the floor, folding his legs as he sat in lotus position.
[ Will you also sacrifice me if I become useless? ⊙﹏⊙ ]
‘Without a doubt,’ Ryuk blankly replied, seeing how this system was once again chatting too much, instead of doing its work, prompting him to further order, ‘Go and search for some dual cultivation thing.’
[ Host, I did so much hard work, at least I deserve praise (˘･_･˘) ]
‘Yes, you did great.’

Outside the Upper Town, nestled within the Celestial Phoenix Order, preparations for the impending tests, scheduled for next week, were progressing well. Numerous individuals and cultivators were diligently repairing the testing formations and verifying the functionality of the Qi measurement devices.
“Elder, will this be able to hold the punch strength?”, one of the disciples observing a huge platform where a green stone, towering at 10 feet, was embedded with several levels labeled with tons.
“HOHO, no one can leave a scratch, let alone break this,” the Elder laughed as he turned before leaving the place, heading towards the disciple quarters where the outer disciples were preparing to give the test to elevate themselves as Inner disciples.
Finally arriving at the outer disciple quarters, he landed on the ground and was greeted by a group of disciples.
“Greetings Elder,” several disciples lined up in a well-mannered way, greeting him with both hands clasped, bowing towards the old man.
“Hm, good, good, you all need to be prepared, do you understand?” The old man nodded, observing the quality of each of the outer disciples trained under him and feeling that none of them were weak enough to be outmatched by the individuals who would participate in the test.
After all, he was the one who trained them.
‘System, at least give me some item!’ Lin Feng, standing in the last row, cried out inwardly as he saw the group of disciples gathered while talking with the Elder, all of them possessed enormous strength, unlike his own low level. This made him curse the system he had received, which had just given him a task that seemed impossible to accomplish.
‘Damn it!’ He felt frustrated due to not getting any messages or voice replies from the Neolith harem system, which had given him the task to make Bella Iliyas fall for him.
[[ Added to inventory: Berserker energy booster (x10 energy) + System Bind (Can’t die until the system is bound with Host) ]]
‘?!’
Lin Feng’s eyes widened the moment a window appeared in front of him. It looked broken, glitching, as if there was some corruption with its screen, hardly able to display the texts.
“Finally!” Lin Feng’s spirits brightened as he felt alive again, seeing how until the system was bound to him, no one could harm him. Before glancing towards the window as he inquired, ‘but why are you glitching?’
[[ …D..on’…t. be…li…ev. ]]
The system attempted to display a message, but the text was completely garbled. Its window started to glitch before shutting down as it tried to communicate with its host.
‘Huh? Harem System?’ Lin Feng inquired, feeling confused as he felt as if his system had been cut off.
[ Getting Access….>.< ] [ You look uglier than a pig O_o ] 'Finally! You are online, system! Please give me an easier task this time!' Lin Feng rubbed his palms together, feeling he could finally access his cheat abilities while his eyes stuck to the system's screen, which had turned orange. [ A quest? Hm, here you go ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ] DING! ━─━───────༺༻───────━─━ Legendary Grade Quest Reward: Immortality Penalty: None Task: Eat your poop daily until the trial starts. Condition: Nothing. ━─━───────༺༻───────━─━ '?!' 'I-immortality?!' Lin Feng's eyes widened the moment he saw that the reward was immortality. Before moving towards the task, he twitched his mouth and lifted his finger as he tried to bargain. 'By the way, can I switch poop with urine?' [ I am merciful, so I accept, but you will need to bathe in it too. <(￣︶￣)> ]
‘Th-thank you! Finally!’ Falling on his knees, tears streamed down his face, feeling that finally, his cheat had activated, instead of giving him useless tasks that would have cost him his life, feeling that now he could easily form his own harem.
