Chapter 526: Exposed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Oh my god!
Was this junior really blind, or was she faking it?
He was obviously not a good person!
Was she short of a few brain cells, or have some sort of crazy fetish?
Why would she like him?
What the f*ck?
Besides, he did not even try to seduce her!
Did his handsomeness transcended species?
Although he found it absurd and inconceivable, Wang Mang still felt a little proud.
To be honest, Wang Mang didn’t dislike being liked by others. This proved that he was indeed very charismatic.
However, he still shook his head and refused, “i am a demon! Little girl, you shouldn’t be thinking about such things!”
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, Tong Xin’s face was filled with disappointment. She said indifferently. So what? We’re all immortals, and don’t need to bother with such differences. Besides, the strong are revered in this world, and there are countless humans and demons who have become Dao partners.”
This rendered speechless. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Wang Mang was about to refuse again when…
[Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]
[Mission 1: Why work hard when you can succeed while doing nothing? Agree! ]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 100,000 energy points!]
[Mission 2: Even if you’re a slacker, and want to succeed while doing nothing, your bottom line is that you won’t live off a woman! Ignore her! ]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 150,000 energy points, Immortal-grade Gacha xi!]
[Mission 3: The strong must live with dignity. You have to ruthlessly refuse and make her give up on the idea! ]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: Free evolution opportunity xi, Immortal-grade Gacha xi!]
Given the system’s mission, he realized that this little girl was obviously not joking. She really liked him.
Wang Mang fell into deep thought.
It was rare for him to not choose the mission option with the highest rewards, but the reason he was hesitating was because he felt a little guilty.
After all, he was making use of this little girl.
Thus, after a moment of contemplation, Wang Mang made his choice.
“System, I choose Mission 2!”
The next moment, the system’s voice sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 150,000 energy points!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Immortal-grade Gacha xi!)
After listening to the system’s voice, Wang Mang looked at the expectant Tong Xin and said softly, “Junior, change your reward request. Something like this cannot be decided carelessly.”
Obviously, Wang Mang did not refuse. He wanted to maintain their relationship, but also did not want to hurt this little girl who was easy to bully.
He had already decided that after he obtained a certain amount of pill formulas, he would gradually distance himself from her, and things would naturally work themselves out.
This should be the most gentle way to deal with the situation.
As expected, after hearing that Wang Mang did not reject her sternly, the little girl’s disappointment dissipated, and she finally squeezed out a smile.
“Alright! We’ll take it slow, right, Senior? In any case, you will definitely become my Dao companion in the future.”
Wang Mang:”???”
He had had no choice but to change the topic and encourage her with a smile.
“Good luck! Little girl, don’t disappoint me!”
Hearing this, the girl nodded her head with great confidence. In her opinion, this Senior Wang Mang would fall for her sooner or later.
Although the girl’s cultivation level was not high, she was still very confident in herself.
After reluctantly parting with Wang Mang, the little girl went back, and Wang Mang heaved a sigh of relief.
Sigh! What the hell was going on? Perhaps he should not have been born so handsome…
However, he had gained a bunch of energy points for free, which made the whole situation worthwhile. In the past, easy missions like these would never provide such generous rewards.
This made Wang Mang very happy!
After returning to the academy grounds, Wang Mang bought some ingredients for Tier 2 pills before returning to his usual cave.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would spend quite some time in seclusion this time, as he planned to practice refining pills until he was ready to take the Tier 2 alchemist examination.
As for the pill stall business, Wang Mang believed that the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor would definitely think of a way to deal with the other pill stall.
Thus, after entering the cave, he once again immersed himself in the process of refining pills. It was dull and repetitive, but Wang Mang was already used to it.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
At this moment, Wang Mang held a handful of pills with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied.
He had only taken three months to master ten types of Tier 2 medicinal pills.
In the first month, he successfully mastered one type. In the following month, he managed to master four types.
Subsequently, he met Tong Xin, who gave him another five Tier 2 pill formulas and three Tier 3 pill formulas!
This was also the reason why Wang Mang was able to master all ten types so quickly. He did not lack resources, nor did he lack pill formulas. His talent for alchemy was also very good.
To be honest, Wang Mang sometimes felt that he was a peerless genius in alchemy!
However, while Wang Mang was in high spirits…
He suddenly felt a terrifying aura approaching from afar, which immediately jolted him back to his senses.
He subconsciously rushed out of the cave and saw two people.
The person leading the group was none other than Tong Xin’s elder sister. She was dressed in snow-white clothes, and was as beautiful as a snow-covered mountain. Her pretty face was cold and indifferent.
Beside her was Tong Xin, who had her head lowered the entire time like a child who had made a mistake.
Seeing this, Wang Mang’s heart tightened, and he immediately figured out what was going on.
Tong Xin had probably been caught stealing pills by her elder sister, who had promptly traced it back to him!
As expected, Tong Nian looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice, “How dare you! You’re the one who has been lying to her and getting her to steal pill formulas, right?”
