Chapter 130 The Power of a Gift

The chat group fell into a long silence. For quite a while, no one spoke. Everyone was checking the official forums.

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Ji Ge (Red Chicken Bro) first sent over a dozen screenshots from the forum, followed by Sun Miaomiao, who screenshotted a lecture from the Taiyi School's official group. The quiet gang chat group became lively again.

"Sun Miaomiao: This is outrageous, just outrageous. He won a one-versus-three. The Grand Elder even personally lectured the Xingguan School. Have I been in the dungeon for several days? Why does it feel like I've been in there for years?"

She was completely dumbfounded. The top post on the official forum of the Taiyi School was titled something like: 'This is probably the limit of Xingguan stage operations!'

After clicking into the post, she didn't immediately watch the video, but instead, glanced at the comments.

After figuring out the general situation from the comments of her fellow disciples, Sun Miaomiao, with an unbelievable feeling, couldn't wait to open the video, watching the whole thing with her jaw dropped.

One against three!

Yuanshi Tianzun (Primordial Heavenly Lord) relied on his own strength to defeat the three peak Saints of Tianfa (Heavenly Punishment).

Those were figures comparable to the official Four Young Masters.

"Hong Ji Ge: Yuanshi Tianzun, you actually beat those three guys! Ho sai lei (awesome)!"

He not only watched the video of Yuanshi Tianzun crushing the three Saints in the pine forest, but also re-watched the videos of Huo Gongzi (Fire Prince) and Yin Ji (Yin Consort) being defeated.

Connecting the two and seeing Yuanshi Tianzun overpowering the three great Saints made him feel particularly relieved. Hong Ji Ge happily drank three bowls of chicken soup to express his inner respect.

[Hong Ji Ge: Jiang Juzhen really embarrassed us Fire Masters. Self-destruct, ah! In this situation, wouldn't it be more humiliating to live?]

Hong Ji Ge didn't mean to be sarcastic. He was putting himself in their shoes. He was someone who *could* self-destruct.

Compared to Hong Ji Ge's carefree "ho sai lei," Zhao Chenghuang felt a deep sense of powerlessness. One moment he was delighted at clearing an A-grade dungeon, full of ambition for his upcoming level 5 promotion, and the next he was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Ice-cold!

[Zhao Chenghuang: Is this your true strength? You didn't show your true strength at all in the Mo Sect Mechanical City. This shouldn't be all your strength, right? @元始天尊 (Yuanshi Tianzun)]

Yuanshi Tianzun was even stronger than he was in the Mo Sect Mechanical City, even though he hadn't entered a dungeon. He had also watched the video, and only he, as a fellow Xingguan, could understand the power of Yuanshi Tianzun's Star Gazing Technique.

As a level 4 Xingguan, he felt like he was watching a college student solve advanced mathematics.

The others in the group were baffled.

[Tianxia Guihuo: He... he obviously didn't go all out. He won too easily.]

Although Tianxia Guihuo didn't have the same mentality as Zhao Chenghuang, as someone from humble beginnings, he had a strong sense of crisis. Yuanshi Tianzun, who had been his peer just a few months ago, had already become one of the strongest people under the Masters. His sense of crisis exploded.

He felt an urgent sense of being eliminated if he didn't improve.

[Xiahou Aotian: You two are having a mental breakdown, aren't you? I told you not to discuss this topic! You deserve it!]

Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang sent a string of ellipses.

Asano Ryo, who started the topic, was using translation software to look at the pictures, and with her not-so-outstanding level of Chinese, she finally finished reading the content of the screenshots.

She sent three "Sugoi (amazing)" in a row in the group to express her amazement.

Asano Ryo already greatly admired Yuanshi Tianzun, believing him to be a genius once in three thousand years. After watching the video, she felt she had been too conservative in her assessment.

Besides, the more amazing Yuanshi-kun (Mr. Yuanshi) was, the higher her status in the Thousand Crane Group would be.

Maybe in the future, her teacher would respectfully say to her, "Asano Ryo-sama (Lady Asano Ryo), will you be attending the meeting held by Yuanshi-kun again today?"

Zhang Yuanqing typed: "Oh, right, this time I earned five Master-level materials, forty Saint-level materials, and one level 5 Rule-type item..."

Was this too cheap? After thinking about it, he deleted the sentence. He didn't know about the others, but Zhao Chenghuang, Tianxia Guihuo, and Xiahou Aotian would probably have a Dao heart collapse.

At this moment, he remembered Xiao Yuan, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but click on her avatar.

"Xiao Yuan, are you done with your bath? Why haven't you said anything in the group chat?"

[Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: Do you want to hear me praise you, praise you, or praise you?]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I want to hear you say you love me.]

[Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: Screenshotting this. I'll send it to Guan Ya later.]

Zhang Yuanqing wisely replied with a "sliding on his knees" emoticon.

Xiao Yuan had a cold personality, and Zhang Yuanqing didn't expect her to flatter him.

He continued to send a message asking, "Has Master Wuhen (Without Trace) returned?"

[Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: No. I heard Kou Beiyue say that you saw Renjian Liulang (Wandering the Mortal Realm) when you were in Bagui Province?]

Zhang Yuanqing then recounted his experience in Bagui Province.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: I'm more curious about his story. Are he and the poison pursuer fraternal twins?]

[Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: The story is long. If you're interested, you can come to the Wuhen Inn. His story isn't a secret in the team.]

Xiao Yuan was practically telling him to come see her. Zhang Yuanqing's lips curled up. At this moment, he heard the bathroom door click open. Guan Ya, after several seconds, finally finished her great and long cleaning work.

Without changing his expression, Zhang Yuanqing deleted his chat history with Xiao Yuan. Guan Ya was wearing a loose white shirt with a star-striped lace hem that fell to the root of her thighs, revealing her pale, beautiful legs.

She stood by the desk, tilting her head and wiping her hair with a towel.

"What gift did you say you were going to give me?"

"Let's eat first. It's lunchtime."

After Guan Ya dried her hair, the two went to the living room to eat. Guan Ya returned to the room, suspiciously scrutinizing Zhang Yuanqing. "Queen's eyes are a little off when she looks at you!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanqing's eyes were clear and his expression calm.

With the current level suppression, Guan Ya's Insight Skill couldn't see through him. However, at the dinner table, the Queen's frequency of secretly looking at him was indeed higher than usual.

Guan Ya's eyes never left the group chat while eating, but she had already taken the Queen's micro-expressions into account.

Nothing could escape the eyes of a scout. The experienced driver stared at her boyfriend and said, "Have you been teaching her squats lately? Hmm... judging by her expression, squats wouldn't be enough. Facial cleanser, brainwaves, fermented bean curd, it's hard to say."

"Nonsense, I've always been chaste." Zhang Yuanqing thought, *I almost forgot what kind of seasoned driver you are.*

Guan Ya became a little unhappy and sat on the bed without saying a word.

"Oh, this isn't like you. You always act like a seductive vixen in front of others. Why are you suddenly insecure?" Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized her.

"Oh, I get it. Is it that video that gave you pressure, making you feel like you can't control me anymore?"

Guan Ya sneered, but didn't refute him.

"I'm going to sleep." She took off her pants and shrank into the quilt.

She did feel the pressure. As a direct descendant of the Fu family, she knew that her talent, appearance, figure, and vision were not comparable to ordinary girls, and she was very confident.

After watching Yuanshi's battle video today, she, like the gang members, felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Yuanshi was a monster that made people despair.

Any genius or elite would feel pressure in front of him. This pressure was a sense of urgency, crisis, frustration, and helplessness for Zhao Chenghuang, Tianxia Guihuo, and others, but for Guan Ya, it was insecurity and worry.

She was a little afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep this man. She was already trying very hard to level up, but she couldn't catch up, not even close.

Lost in thought, exhaustion washed over her, and Guan Ya fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, it was already dark.

"The digital clock on the bedside table showed 9:30 PM. Guan Ya subconsciously looked at the pillow but didn't see Zhang Yuanqing, and she felt a little lost as she sat up. Then she saw the gift box on the table. Only then did she remember that Yuanshi said he was going to give her a gift, and she curiously opened it.

Walking to the table, she opened the gift box tied with a bow. Lying inside was a section of blood-colored silk equipment. Guan Ya felt the sword intent in her body stirring and realized that it was equipment for the Scout profession.

She actually had quite a few pieces of equipment. She had a total of five Saint-stage equipment pieces, some from high-difficulty dungeons and some from Fu Qingyang.

Speaking of equipment, Guan Ya thought of that Swordsman cloak, and thinking of the Swordsman cloak made her angry. Although she agreed with her boyfriend giving the artifact to his cousin, she was still angry emotionally, even if she agreed with him rationally.

Thinking this, Guan Ya picked up the arm guard and read the item information. After reading the information, Guan Ya put down the equipment, rubbed her eyes, and picked it up again. Then she put down the equipment and took a deep breath.

After picking it up and putting it down several times, Guan Ya heard her heart pounding wildly and felt the blood roaring in her veins.

At the Saint stage, fighting across levels was very, very difficult. Only in special environments with special equipment could one accomplish the feat of fighting across levels.

Equipment that could help Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderer) fight across levels were all top-quality, and their number was limited throughout the Spirit Realm. Only large organizations and forces could bring them out.

....

The air conditioner was blowing cold air. On the wide double bed, Zhang Yuanqing maintained a push-up position, covered with a bright yellow silk blanket. His powerful waist thrust rapidly.

The bed creaked.

Guan Ya frowned, bit her lip, and blushed, her hands softly pushing on her boyfriend's chest, while enduring the storm-like attack.

So women really do need gifts, Zhang Yuanqing thought sincerely while exercising.

After receiving the gift, Guan Ya's little emotions disappeared all at once. She was moved to tears, her eyes conveyed affection, and she shyly called him "Gege (older brother)."

Zhang Yuanqing took out the Yin-Yang Harmony Quilt and proposed dual cultivation. Twenty minutes after the storm, Zhang Yuanqing entrusted his long-accumulated children to Guan Ya.

After sending them into the warm bedroom, the two tacitly opened their character attributes to check their experience points.

"It doesn't seem like the experience points increased? I'm not sure. Let me check again."

So the second round of storms descended. Time passed quickly. The bed rocked all night, and dawn broke.

When Zhang Yuanqing finally sent in the sparsely numbered children for the last time, the two simultaneously opened their character attributes to check their experience points. The experience points had indeed increased.

"It increased."

"Yes, this old lady worked hard all night, my back is almost broken, my throat is hoarse, and it only increased this little bit of experience points?" Guan Ya picked up the Yin-Yang Harmony Quilt and threw it on the ground in a fit of rage.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Guan Ya, drink some water first."

"Get out!" Guan Ya turned her head and roared like a lioness.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was the one working hard, Sister Guan Ya," Zhang Yuanqing quickly admitted his mistake.

Scouts weren't Night Wanderers. Scouts didn't have the vigorous energy and terrifying endurance.

All night, Guan Ya had suffered endless bombardment, gritting her teeth and struggling to hold on, finally waiting for a wave of experience points after dual cultivation, and now she couldn't accept this kind of result at all.

Actually, it was very reasonable. An increase of 0.03% of experience points in one night meant 3% in a hundred nights, and 10% in a year, which was equivalent to a B-level dungeon. If dual cultivation gave a large increase in experience points every time, wouldn't the Earth Wanderer be invincible?

Guan Ya wanted to punch him in anger. "You were the one who told me that experience points would increase greatly. You're not going to touch me this month."

Breakfast, dining room.

The Queen said, "Why isn't Guan Ya eating breakfast?"

"She's catching up on sleep," Zhang Yuanqing said. "Besides being a little tired, her throat is a little hot, but it's not a big problem."

Xie Lingxi said resentfully, "How can she not be catching up on sleep? She was screaming all night."

Zhang Yuanqing discovered that the little green tea goddess looked tired and had dark circles under her eyes. *Could it be that she was listening all night?*

Zhang Yuanqing thought he had to find a way to confiscate her listening headphones.

"Screaming all night?" The Queen also became resentful. "Even newlyweds shouldn't be like this. Master, you can completely let people help share the burden in the harem."

Xie Lingxi was shocked and looked at her Queen sister in surprise. Although everyone coveted Brother Yuanshi, the Queen sister used to be quite reserved. Even when she wasn't reserved, it was mostly a joke. Why was she suddenly so proactive?

What gave her the confidence? Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought that the legendary Yellow Emperor soared in broad daylight after controlling three thousand women. He should have a large harem, providing dual cultivation furnaces at all times.

It seemed that a man as infatuated and devoted as himself was destined not to be able to follow the path of dual cultivation. He thought with regret, Occasionally dual cultivation was better than nothing.

At this moment, a rapid and loud cell phone ringtone rang.

Zhang Yuanqing took out his cell phone and saw that the caller was Xiao Yuan.

"Hello!" He answered the phone. "I was just thinking of going to your place today."

Because the Queen and Xie Lingxi were by his side, he couldn't be flippant, and his tone was more serious.

"Yuanshi, Tongtong is in trouble!" Xiao Yuan's voice was urgent and grave.
