Another 1,000 points of favorability, and she'll reach five-star favorability.
Hao Ren was ecstatic.
However, his expression remained calm and composed, his demeanor unfathomable.
The "Sage Mode" was truly profound.
He exuded the ultimate aura of a master!
"Little Xian, I have another top-grade spirit stone here. I'll give it to you as well!"
With that, Hao Ren presented Kong Xiaoxian with another top-grade spirit stone.
Kong Xiaoxian accepted it with delight.
[Ding! Congratulations Host, your friend "Kong Xiaoxian" has increased her favorability towards you by +999, current favorability: 99999; current favorability level: Four Stars (Sworn Siblings).]
Hao Ren
-_-
This baby is unhappy!
This baby is throwing a tantrum!
What's with being just a little short of the final favorability point?
No way, I have to get it done for her today!
Hao Ren took out the "Sage Dragon-Tooth Rice" again.
"Little Xian, come, I'll give you some more Sage Dragon-Tooth Rice..."
Kong Xiaoxian thanked Hao Ren. She accepted the "Sage Dragon-Tooth Rice," but her favorability did not increase.
Hao Ren
(╬￣皿￣)
Rage meter rising...
What's going on? Why isn't the favorability increasing?
Bah, I really don't believe this!
Hao Ren took out the "Dragon-Tooth Rice Wine."
Gifting, keep gifting!
Kong Xiaoxian accepted the "Dragon-Tooth Rice Wine" and expressed her gratitude to Hao Ren. Unfortunately, her favorability still did not increase!
Hao Ren
(╬◣д◢)
Infuriated!
What the heck!
Why isn't the favorability increasing?
Hao Ren genuinely wanted to grab Kong Xiaoxian and give her a good beating.
What's your deal, you little girl? Why isn't the favorability increasing? Why?
However, after careful consideration, given that he might not be able to defeat Kong Xiaoxian, Hao Ren abandoned this idea.
Kong Xiaoxian seemed to have something on her mind, appearing distracted and indecisive.
At this moment, a "friend dynamic" appeared in Hao Ren's mind.
[Ding! Your friend "Kong Xiaoxian" is very hesitant. She wants to discuss a "secret topic" with you, but Little Dragon Girl is present, making her too shy to speak...]
A secret topic?
A glint flashed in Hao Ren's eyes. Perhaps this was the key to the final point of favorability!
"Little Dragon Girl, go patrol the Purple Jade Bamboo Grove outside and see how they've been growing recently?"
"Yes, Master!"
Little Dragon Girl, obedient as ever, immediately went out to patrol.
Han Mo was in the distance, diligently comprehending "The Self-Cultivation of a Hermit."
The Jade-Eyed Purple Golden Hou was outside the cave, playing "Fight the Landlord" with True Person Qing Feng and others.
Once Little Dragon Girl left, only Hao Ren and Kong Xiaoxian remained in the cave.
Hao Ren said slowly.
"Little Xian, it's just the two of us here. Whatever troubles you, feel free to tell me!"
Wow!
Senior Oppa is so gentle and considerate!
Kong Xiaoxian's eyes sparkled, looking at Hao Ren with infatuation.
Her "fangirl" level deepened.
Unfortunately, her favorability still did not increase.
Kong Xiaoxian fidgeted for a while, then finally made up her mind and whispered to Hao Ren.
"S-Senior, I'm so small..."
Hao Ren: "Mhm, you're only eighteen, you are indeed very young!"
Kong Xiaoxian: "Oh, Senior, I didn't mean that. I mean some parts of me... are very, very small..."
Holy cow!
Hao Ren was startled.
Are the girls in the cultivation world this bold?
To directly mention her chest size in front of another man... calling herself "small and cute" was a bit too forthright!
Kong Xiaoxian's pretty face blushed, her delicate jade feet seeming to be dyed crimson.
Overwhelmed with shyness, but having made up her mind, she closed her eyes and poured out her heart like a bamboo tube.
"Senior, Little Xian wants you to help me with something. Can you ask Little Dragon Girl sister, how she grew so big? Is there anything I can do to salvage it?"
Oh!
Understood!
So Kong Xiaoxian came seeking the method to "grow bigger"!
For something like this, seeking out Little Dragon Girl was the wrong move!
Look at Little Dragon Girl; from head to toe, nothing about her is particularly large, except for one area. That area is outrageously large. As a poem goes: Viewed from the side, she's a peak; viewed head-on, she's a mountain range!
Absolutely magnificent!
If it weren't for the excellent material of her treasure robe, it would have burst long ago!
If you ask Little Dragon Girl for the "method to grow bigger," she definitely wouldn't be able to explain anything.
However, for such matters, Hao Ren could solve it for her without even asking Little Dragon Girl.
The "grow bigger two-piece set": Papaya + Milk
While it might not compare to Little Dragon Girl, it would definitely help you with "secondary development."
Turning a "tiny thumbtack" into a "Wong Lo Kat bun."
After listening to Hao Ren's explanation, Kong Xiaoxian's eyes lit up with hope.
"Senior, does eating papaya and milk really work?"
Hao Ren: "It works!"
Papaya + Milk has a certain scientific basis, it should work!
Kong Xiaoxian: "That's great! Where can I find these two heavenly treasures?"
Uh...
This question truly stumped Hao Ren.
Where would he know to search for them?
Hao Ren even seriously doubted whether papaya and milk existed in this cultivation world.
The matter reached a stalemate.
Kong Xiaoxian wouldn't be swayed without seeing results. Until her "grow bigger" problem was solved, her favorability would never increase!
Hao Ren gnashed his teeth in frustration.
Damn it!
Who can tell me where to find papaya, and where to find milk?
And so, another month passed.
There was still no news of papaya and milk. However, news did arrive from Hao Ren's eldest disciple, Liu Xiuer.
According to "friend dynamic messages," Hao Ren discovered that Liu Xiuer had followed Princess Yin Lihua to a "secret rebel base"—a dilapidated mountain god temple!
When Liu Xiuer and Princess Yin Lihua arrived, over a dozen people had already gathered at the mountain god temple. These were all "rebel leaders" from various regions.
Each of them was extraordinary, possessing cultivation to varying degrees.
The strongest among them had even reached the "half-step Golden Core realm," only needing to pass the heavenly tribulation to become a true "Golden Core cultivator."
This "half-step Golden Core expert" commanded great prestige among the rebel leaders, who all referred to him as "Prince Mu," implicitly recognizing him as their leader.
Prince Mu's eyes flashed as he looked at an old man with graying hair.
This elder was named Liu Dahong, and his cultivation was at the "Foundation Establishment peak." He was an elder among the "rebels."
Liu Dahong, receiving a signal from Prince Mu, immediately stepped forward and announced loudly.
"A country cannot be without a head for a day, cough, cough, uh, the nation cannot be without a ruler! The little princess has been missing for two months, and it's highly likely she has met with foul play! I propose that Prince Mu temporarily assume the position of rebel leader. He is capable and respected, and can lead us to continue our fight against the corrupt imperial court!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people immediately jumped out, voicing their support for Prince Mu.
More people, however, exchanged glances.
Clearly, they did not agree with this "proposal" in their hearts.
The little princess had only been missing for two months and might not be dead, yet some people were so eager to seize power?
