Back at home, Jiangnan prepared bathwater for Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao!
Sitting on the living room sofa, Jiangnan started a lottery!
With 500,000 resentment points!
System, you better come through!
[Ten-draw lottery begins!]
[Thank you for participating! Consolation prize: One Vitality Ginseng!]
…
After two rounds!
Two more Beauty Pills came up! Eighteen Vitality Ginsengs.
Jiangnan’s face soured!
Can’t ever expect much from the system!
Was all this effort for nothing?
Beauty Pills again?
Am I not beautiful enough already?
But on the third try!
[Congratulations! Prize: One bag of Heart-Pounding Popping Candy!]
[Thank you for participating! Consolation prize: One Vitality Ginseng!]
…
Jiangnan was stunned!
Finally, a new prize?
And not a consolation prize! A proper prize with no side effects?
Jiangnan was thrilled!
Heart-Pounding?
Why not Heart-Fluttering?
What kind of half-baked system is this?
Even typos go unnoticed?
But he couldn’t resist.
He quickly checked the system inventory for its effects!
[Heart-Pounding Popping Candy!]
Effect: Increases spiritual energy absorption speed tenfold for 24 hours, enhances personal charm during this period!
Makes you universally adored, flowers bloom at your presence! Cars get flat tyres at the sight of you! The love of a lifetime, GivemeFire!
Jiangnan: ???
What?
This thing is that amazing?
A tenfold boost in cultivation speed for 24 hours is already insane!
And it boosts charm too?
This thing…
It’s practically a flirting godsend!
And that English at the end?
Give me fire?
How flashy is this system!
Jiangnan swallowed hard, itching to try it out.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had just finished bathing!
Feeling refreshed, their physical condition improved, faces flushed!
Jiangnan’s expression turned serious, “Come here! I have something to tell you!”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao exchanged a glance, both taken aback!
Rare to see Jiangnan so serious!
They sat opposite him, Zhong Yingxue still drying her hair!
Xia Yao giggled, “It’s Valentine’s Day! You’re not going to confess to me, are you?”
“Don’t you dare! I won’t say yes!”
Jiangnan rolled his eyes, “Relax! Why would I confess to you?”
“We’re different species, after all. Humans and big-tailed wolves can’t…”
[Resentment points from Xia Yao +1000!]
“Cough cough! Let go! I can’t breathe!”
Zhong Yingxue, “Serves you right for teasing! Xia Yao, teach him a lesson!”
“Got it!”
Jiangnan: ???
Even Xuexue’s not on my side?
“Stop! Stop! Stop! I have gifts for you!”
Jiangnan pleaded!
Xia Yao’s eyes lit up at the word ‘gifts’, “Gifts? I love gifts!”
“Are they Big White Rabbit candies? Where’d you hide them? Let me check!”
Xia Yao’s hands rummaged, even tugging Jiangnan’s ears to look!
Damn!
You think I can hide them in my ears?
Am I Sun Wukong or what?
Zhong Yingxue was also curious.
“Here, for you!”
Jiangnan pulled out two beautifully wrapped boxes!
Zhong Yingxue’s was small, while Xia Yao’s was larger!
Xia Yao snatched the big gift box, grinning, “You like me that much? Such a big one?”
Jiangnan coughed twice, ready to bolt at any moment!
“You’ll see when you open them!”
They each opened their boxes.
Inside were one Big White Rabbit candy each!
And a bright red, glowing fruit!
Both were stunned, they knew about Beauty Pills…
Zhong Yingxue, “This red fruit is?”
Xia Yao grinned, “Eat it and find out?”
She popped the Beauty Pill in her mouth, then ate the red fruit!
“Hmm… no taste!”
Zhong Yingxue nibbled hers delicately.
These red fruits were none other than Marrow-Cleansing Spirit Fruits, exchanged for Jiangnan’s last 200,000 resentment points!
Soon after.
Xia Yao’s face was full of shock, staring at her body in disbelief.
“My… my talent aptitude seems to have improved!”
“I’m absorbing spiritual energy faster!”
Zhong Yingxue, stunned, “I feel it too! This fruit can enhance talent?”
Their gazes turned to astonishment!
In the 20 years of spiritual energy resurgence, no one had heard of anything that could boost talent aptitude!
It seemed set at birth!
But this fruit did it!
Xia Yao’s talent, originally A+, was now at least S+! Matching Zhong Yingxue’s previous level!
And Zhong Yingxue’s S+ aptitude improved even further!
S+ wasn’t the limit?
An item with such an effect was beyond monetary value!
How did Jiangnan get these fruits?
Whether it was these red fruits! Or Big White Rabbit candies, or strength potions!
They were practically miracles!
Jiangnan smiled brightly, “Keep it a secret! Don’t tell anyone!”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao nodded solemnly!
Why would they tell?
It would only bring trouble to Jiangnan!
Jiangnan giving these things so freely.
Showed he truly saw himself as part of this family!
That trust was what touched them most!
As for how Jiangnan got these?
Did it matter? If he didn’t say, they wouldn’t ask!
Some feelings are best kept in the heart!
Xia Yao, just coming out of the joy of her aptitude boost!
Noticed another layer under her gift box?
Xia Yao, “Huh? There’s more? What’s this?”
She pulled it out!
The air froze!
Ten pairs of shorts, various styles?
Xia Yao’s face flushed red, recalling her previous dyeing mishap!
Her eyes blazed with murderous intent!
Her little tiger teeth grew!
With a tiger-like pounce, she lunged!
“Argh!!!”
“Stinking Jiangnan! I’ll kill you!”
Jiangnan teleported away!
He was prepared!
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t repay kindness with enmity!”
“It’s for your own good!”
“These are Hulk-brand shorts, they won’t tear when you half-beastify!”
“And they won’t fade!”
“Come on, don’t be ungrateful! They’re comfy! Expensive too, 10,000 each!”
Zhong Yingxue watched Jiangnan fleeing from Xia Yao’s chase around the house, chuckling.
Glancing at the pile of breezy shorts on the table, her face flushed slightly.
