Chapter 6: Women, Interesting

The book [Dominating the Immortal Realm with My Beauty] divides the world into three major realms: the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Underworld. The author ‘Hanging From The Sky’ has dedicated extensive descriptions to the Human and Demon Realms, while the Underworld remains scarcely depicted, shrouded in mystery and unknowns.

These three realms are distinguished by their spiritual energy.

The Human Realm occupies all the places rich in spiritual energy, while the Demon Realm is filled with chaotic and demonic energy. The Underworld, however, is rarely encountered and is full of mystery and uncertainty.

Rimuli is one of the four most powerful immortal sects, occupying a vast area with endless mountains and rivers. The various factions under its banner are neatly distributed across different regions.

In the undeveloped back mountain, it’s certain that there are spiritual beasts residing or appearing.

With this in mind, Jiang Niannian forced herself to eat a hard cornbread and brought the remaining cornbread and pickles into Yin Li’s room.

“Young master, it’s time for breakfast.”

Yin Li sat on the bed, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, staring at the food on the table without speaking.

Jiang Niannian, guessing that he was feeling down again, comforted him, “Just make do with this for now. I’ll go into the forest later to catch some spiritual chickens or ducks to give you a better meal.”

Yin Li continued to stare at the cornbread without blinking, his lips tightly pressed together, saying nothing.

From Jiang Niannian’s angle, she could only see his soft black hair falling along his forehead, revealing a high nose bridge, but his expression remained unclear.

The two remained at an impasse for a long time, long enough that Jiang Niannian was about to leave when Yin Li suddenly spoke.

“The forest is too dangerous; your cultivation level is low; don’t go.”

His voice was still weak and hoarse, laced with sickness.

Jiang Niannian was stunned—her little cub actually cared about others.

She walked over, ruffled Yin Li’s hair, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to take care of you. I won’t let you suffer anymore.”

The boy’s thick, long lashes drooped softly as he muttered, “I’m easy to take care of.”

His voice was very light, hiding a broken sense of pride.

“Hmm? What did you say?”

He looked up, quietly staring at her with his blood-red eyes that were chillingly captivating.

His tender voice carried a bit of seriousness, “I’m easy to take care of. I’m not picky with food and don’t spend much. I can live well on these things. If you don’t like me throwing tantrums, I can be more obedient… If you’re afraid of my cursed fate, you can stay far away; no need to serve me…”

Listening to his words, Jiang Niannian felt her eyes sting, as if her heart had been pricked with needles.

What a good little cub.

She remembered how the book described young Yin Li before his spiritual roots were destroyed.

He was a lively child, dressed in fine clothes, polite even when mischievous, with a preference for spicy and sweet flavors.

Like a little sun, he especially loved to smile at people and had a particular fondness for candied hawthorn.

If you gave him a stick of candied hawthorn, he’d smile brightly at you and say, “Thank you.”

He was really easy to please.

If only she could become the heavens, how wonderful that would be.

She’d protect him and ensure his life was free of worries.

Jiang Niannian discreetly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, cupped Yin Li’s face, and planted a kiss on his cheek, solemnly saying, “I’m here for the young master. I won’t die easily until I see you rise to the top of the immortal realm, so don’t worry.”

Yin Li’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he hadn’t fully processed what had just happened, and he dazedly responded, “Mm.”

Seeing that he wasn’t sulking anymore, Jiang Niannian turned and left the room.

Inside, Yin Li touched the spot on his face where he had just been kissed, his red eyes wide open.

When she kissed him, her lips were soft and smelled nice.

He seemed to have discovered a new, unbelievable sensation.

After a long while, he gently muttered four words:

“Women… Interesting.”

【Affection Points +36, Points +3060, Current Affection: 30, Total Points: 3060.】

Jiang Niannian was carrying a hoe and basket, making her way up the mountain, when the system’s prompt suddenly sounded in her ears.

“Affection points increased by so much?! And what’s with these points?”

【Dear, when affection points are positive, each point gained is worth ten times the points of a negative score.】

Jiang Niannian marveled, “Such a good deal?!”

【Of course! This system is very user-friendly~(￣▽￣)/. You can use the points to enhance your cultivation and charm. With 3000 points, you can directly ascend to the Golden Core stage. Similarly, you can exchange them for physical enhancements like a perky butt, big breasts, long legs, etc.~(? ? ?)?】

Jiang Niannian was silent for a moment, then asked, “Can I exchange them for an elixir to restore spiritual roots?”

【Sorry, that item is not available in the mall.】

Jiang Niannian sighed, “Alright then, let’s exchange the points for cultivation.”

For now, she needed to increase her strength to protect her little cub. The beauty enhancements could wait; there was no rush.

【Exchange successful. Cultivation has been elevated to the Golden Core stage.】

Instantly, Jiang Niannian felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy coursing through her body. Her blood vessels became more vibrant, and her body warmed up. She tried gathering spiritual energy in her palm and flicked it towards a nearby tree. The next second, several sturdy trees were cut in half, leaving Jiang Niannian startled.

So this is the world of cultivation! It’s so wild and cool!

Jiang Niannian was overjoyed as she spotted a patch of plump mushrooms in the distance.

At the Golden Core stage, her senses had become significantly sharper.

She leaped towards the mushrooms; the hoe was no longer needed. With a flick of her spiritual energy, the large mushrooms were plucked from the soil one by one.

They were all brightly colored and irresistibly red.

【Fool~ You can’t eat this. You have no common sense at all. 】

“Why not?”

【Red cap, white stalk, eat them, and you’ll lie flat. Lie flat, get buried, family eats mushrooms, after eating the whole family gets buried, and next year grows more red caps.】

Jiang Niannian: …It seems to be right.

Reluctantly, she dumped the mushrooms out of the basket and was about to get up when she noticed a few bloodstains on a nearby tree stump.

Jiang Niannian froze, then cautiously scanned the surroundings.

Seeing nothing unusual, she followed the bloodstains.

The blood was faint and mingled with the fallen leaves.

There were also some animal claw marks on several tree stumps.

Prey?

She followed the trail for a while, eventually reaching a cave.

It was too dark to see inside, with only the cold wind creating eerie sounds.

Jiang Niannian swallowed hard, gathered spiritual energy in her hand to light a small flame for illumination, and bravely entered the cave.

No risk, no reward!

The sound of dripping water echoed in the cave.

She hadn’t walked far before she stopped in her tracks.

At the end of the cave, the space suddenly expanded.

It was a cliff, and below was a deep, misty lake.

Jiang Niannian could clearly sense it absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, brimming with life.

On the cliff lay a small, pitch-black beast, covered in blood.
