Time slipped by second after second, quietly and without fanfare. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed. After countless failures, Xiao Se finally managed—little by little—to successfully refine two Spirit-Melding Pills and one Earth-Spirit Pill.
At the same time, under the tempering of the Fallen Heart Flame's inner fire, his cultivation advanced as naturally as water flowing downhill, smoothly reaching the level of an Eight-Star Dou Ling. This only strengthened his determination to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame no matter what.
[Ding. The one-month period has ended. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one exchange opportunity. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one draw opportunity.]
Inside the room, Xiao Se froze for a moment when he heard the system's notification echo in his mind. He then swept his gaze around, finally stopping on a plate of walnuts placed on the table. In his mind, he called out, "System, exchange these two walnuts for me."
[Ding. Congratulations to the host for exchanging: 'Peach-Eating Boy' from a parallel Blue Planet world.]
"Holy shit—" Xiao Se failed to hold it in and nearly burst out laughing.
At the same time, in a parallel world on Blue Planet.
A certain "young lady," heavily filtered with maxed-out beauty effects and wearing a fluffy animal-ear hoodie, was livestreaming to their phone.
"Let's eat a peachy-peach~" the faux-girl said, deliberately lowering his voice. His fingers gently tapped the metal lid of a canned yellow peach. With a soft pop, the can opened. Using a spoon, he scooped up a piece, opened his small mouth, and slowly bit down. Instantly, an exaggerated expression of delicate pain appeared on his ultra-feminine face.
Only after a long pause did he recover, speaking in a sickeningly sweet, cutesy tone that made skin crawl. "It's so coooold~"
"Let's eat some ice cream~"
"It's sooo icy~"
Watching a man with a clearly visible Adam's apple perform such deliberately effeminate sounds and gestures purely for attention made the livestream viewers furious. Goosebumps covered their bodies, and many of them wished they could crawl through the screen and punch him on the spot.
Yet the faux-girl showed no awareness of any wrongdoing at all. On the contrary, seeing his follower count rise, he felt smug and pleased, pushing his performance even further—more exaggerated, more nauseating, and more over the top.
Seeing this, the viewers gave up on spamming insults altogether and instead launched a nationwide reporting campaign.
At that very moment, the faux-girl's affected voice abruptly returned to normal. He suddenly clutched his crotch, his face twisting in extreme pain as he let out a miserable cry. "Ah—!"
The phone was knocked over, the camera tilting up toward the ceiling. The livestream was filled with nothing but his agonized screams and wails.
"Fuck, that's seriously disgusting," Xiao Se muttered under his breath. He then continued in his mind, "System, start the draw."
[Ding. Congratulations to the host for drawing: Douluo Continent Travel Voucher (Permanent).]
"A permanent Douluo Continent travel voucher?" Xiao Se's eyes lit up. This was perfect—now he could see Bibi Dong whenever he wanted. He could also take Little Medical Fairy to Douluo Continent to hunt the Man-Faced Demon Spider Emperor and absorb its energy to upgrade her external spirit bone.
Knock, knock.
Suddenly, knocking sounded from outside the room.
Xiao Se opened the door and saw the familiar figure of a little kitten standing there. His heart leaped with joy. Before she could even react, he pulled her into his arms, pushed her down onto the bed, and pressed his thin lips to her rosy mouth, sealing it in a passionate French kiss.
Taking advantage of a brief moment to breathe, Xiao Se smiled and said, "Zhuqing, coming to see me so early in the morning—did you break through to Great Dou Shi last night after taking the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill and come here to offer yourself? If that's the case, your husband here won't hold back."
"Mmm—!" Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed bright red as she struggled desperately. After pushing him several times, she finally managed to block his mouth with her jade-like hand and said breathlessly, "Xiao Se, stop fooling around. Someone's looking for you."
"Who is it?" Xiao Se asked.
"It's me."
A crisp voice sounded from the doorway. The door was pushed open again, and a white figure walked in—it was Zi Yan. Her jet-black eyes were wide with curiosity as she stared at Xiao Se lying on top of Zhu Zhuqing, one of his hands still gripping her soft curves.
"Uh…" Xiao Se's mouth twitched as he quickly released the little kitten. "Why are you here?"
"I ran out of pills." Zi Yan's pretty face turned slightly red. Her big black eyes looked innocent and pitiful. Although she didn't understand the matters between men and women, seeing a young man and woman pressed together like that still stirred something instinctual in her.
Xiao Se's lips twitched again. He had given her two hundred pills just the day before yesterday—was she eating them like meals?
He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who had already shyly hidden herself under the blanket, then looked at Zi Yan standing at the doorway with an innocent expression. Letting out a helpless sigh, he said weakly, "Go to the main hall. I'll refine some for you."
"Mm!" Hearing that Xiao Se agreed, Zi Yan instantly forgot all her previous thoughts. She happily ran out of the room, pulling out a huge pile of rare medicinal ingredients from her storage ring.
Looking at the excited little female dragon outside, Xiao Se couldn't help but find it amusing. He softly said a word to Zhu Zhuqing under the covers, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Standing in the main hall, Xiao Se's heart stirred. A dragon-shaped, pink flame appeared in his hand. Under Zi Yan's expectant and admiring gaze, he threw all the medicinal ingredients she had taken out into the pink flames and began refining them.
Half an hour later, the pile of high-grade ingredients had all been refined into pools of liquid. With a thought, Xiao Se condensed the medicinal essence, forming over a thousand pills. He then took out an oversized jade box and stored all the pills inside.
Zi Yan took the jade box without even checking whether the pills were still hot. Like someone eating beans, she grabbed a handful and stuffed them straight into her mouth. The massive energy and rich pill fragrance exploded across her palate, making her beautiful eyes curve into crescent moons.
"Wow! Xiao Se, the pills you make really are the tastiest. I feel like I'm becoming more and more unable to live without you," Zi Yan said happily while chewing.
Xiao Se's mouth twitched as he rolled his eyes at her. "How about you finish what's in your mouth before talking?"
After swallowing dozens of pills, Zi Yan let out a satisfied burp. She carefully put the jade box back into her storage ring, then exhaled deeply. "I'm full, I'm full. Oh right, Xiao Se— I was born with the ability to sense treasures. Some time ago, I discovered a Snow Sky Demon Ape deep in the Inner Academy mountains. It must be guarding something good. But I went several times and got beaten back every time…"
Hearing this, Xiao Se froze for a moment. Isn't that the Earth Core Tempering Milk? A sly glint flashed through his eyes as he smiled and said, "That Snow Sky Demon Ape should be a fifth-rank magical beast. I have a way to defeat it."
"Really?" Zi Yan's eyes instantly lit up.
Xiao Se nodded slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said with a troubled expression, "I've mastered a secret technique that can temporarily boost my strength to Dou Wang level. But to use it, I need the essence blood of a magical beast with an extremely powerful bloodline. Do you have a way to get that?"
"Is that all?" To Xiao Se's surprise, the little female dragon was incredibly straightforward. She grabbed a teacup from the table, slapped her flat chest confidently, then spat a mouthful of essence blood straight into the cup with perfect accuracy.
"Uh…" Xiao Se's face twitched violently. The essence blood was secured, sure—but there was way too much saliva mixed in there.
