12: Get rewarded again

Before they could consummate their marriage, his Junior Sister was called away by her father.

Li Daoxuan wanted to hear what they were saying, but his father-in-law directly kicked him out.

Li Daoxuan sat on the large bed in the bridal chamber, muttering, "What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?"

Indeed! Qing Xuan and her father said something, but it was all very secretive.

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to fall asleep, Qing Xuan returned.

"Senior Brother, you're still awake?"

Li Daoxuan immediately perked up, chuckling, "How could I be asleep? Tonight is a very important day!"

"Ah! Is... is that so??"

His Junior Sister's voice trembled slightly, clearly a mix of fear and shyness!

Could that fearless little girl from before also have moments of fear?

Li Daoxuan immediately found his Junior Sister even more adorable.

"Oh, right! Where's Father-in-law?"

"He left!"

Li Daoxuan immediately stood up, his voice filled with surprise, "Left? It's so late, how could you let him leave?"

"Didn't you invite him to stay a few more days?"

Qing Xuan said awkwardly, "My... my father said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist slapping you to death!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Daoxuan rubbed his nose, embarrassed, "It's not that serious! Not that serious! Father-in-law is already so old, yet he still has such a temper!"

However, Li Daoxuan fully understood his father-in-law's feelings.

Perhaps every father-in-law feels this way; his little cabbage, which he raised for over a decade, was suddenly taken by a pig, so he would naturally want to butcher that pig.

Li Daoxuan stepped forward, took his Junior Sister's hand, and sat down on the large bed, saying,

"What did Father-in-law tell you? He was so mysterious about it!"

"I won't tell you!"

Li Daoxuan feigned anger, "Oh, really! Let's see how Senior Brother punishes you!"

"Ah~"

"Senior... Senior Brother, we... we haven't even had our cross-cupped wine yet!"

"What cross-cupped wine! I want water!"

"..."

[Ding~]

[Congratulations to the host's Family for gaining a new member!]

[Rewards are as follows:]

[Reward One: One Cultivation Technique, "Longevity Secret Art"]

[Reward Two: One "Qing Yuan Swordplay"]

[Reward Three: One "Great Evolution Body Forging Art"]

Li Daoxuan was stunned, and then...

The next day, just as dawn broke, Li Daoxuan woke up, feeling exceptionally energetic.

Lying in bed, looking at the stunning girl in his arms, Li Daoxuan felt that he had lived in vain before.

"Oh, right!"

"Last night, I seemed to have received a System reward, but I haven't had a chance to check it yet!"

Li Daoxuan looked at the three shining ancient books in the System, feeling very puzzled.

"System, are you there?"

"If you are, just make a sound!"

[Squeak~]

"Cough, cough! You're getting more and more mischievous, aren't you!" Li Daoxuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"System! Aren't you the Multi-Child Blessing System?"

"Why did you give me benefits again yesterday?"

[There are rewards for both marrying a wife and having children!]

Swish!

Li Daoxuan immediately sat up, then indignantly said, "Why was there no reward when I got married for the first time?"

[The System was not activated then!]

"Alright!"

Li Daoxuan no longer dwelled on that issue, then began to examine the three ancient Secret Manuals.

"Hiss~"

Upon contact, the golden light from the Secret Manuals flew into Li Daoxuan's mind, and then a mysterious and profound sensation washed over him.

Li Daoxuan's mind received a great many things.

"I just learned the 'Longevity Secret Art'? And reached the Realm of Minor Achievement??"

"Oh my! The 'Longevity Secret Art' is actually an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, primarily cultivating spiritual power."

Li Daoxuan's exclamations woke up Qing Xuan, who was beside him.

"Senior... Senior Brother, you're awake!"

Li Daoxuan rubbed the little girl's head, dotingly saying, "Girl, it's time to get up!"

"No way! I want to sleep a little longer."

"Sigh! You are a Cultivator, how can you be like mortal women!"

"It's all your fault! What's wrong with being a Cultivator? I'm still a girl!"

"..."

What surprised Li Daoxuan greatly was that "Qing Yuan Swordplay" and "Great Evolution Body Forging Art" were also Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, and both were high-grade Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.

It was just that their focus was different.

"Qing Yuan Swordplay" focused on attack power, a Cultivation Technique for controlling swords to kill enemies.

"Great Evolution Body Forging Art" was also very precious; it was a very rare body-forging Cultivation Technique.

"These Cultivation Techniques can definitely serve as the foundation of the Family!"

Cultivation Techniques are divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks. Even a Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique can establish a Cultivation Family in the secular world.

Not to mention Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, those are absolutely Family heirlooms.

Even though Li Daoxuan had already become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he currently did not have the right to Cultivate the Sect's Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.

"Sigh! What a pity!" Li Daoxuan shook his head, looking somewhat smug.

"It's a pity that if others want to learn these Cultivation Techniques again, they can only start from scratch!"

That's right! The golden light from the books had been absorbed by Li Daoxuan. If others wanted to learn them, they would have to do it slowly.

I can't stand it! I really can't stand it!

[Host! This is a benefit for you, what else are you thinking about!]

[If it weren't for your terrible Comprehension Ability, if it weren't for your trash Aptitude, would this System need to do this?]

"Heh heh heh~"

That's true! With Li Daoxuan's current Comprehension Ability and Aptitude, he really couldn't learn Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.

Li Daoxuan placed the three ancient books on the bedside, then pinched the little girl's nose, saying, "Qing Xuan, it's time to get up. I have good things to share with you."

"No!"

"If you don't get up soon, I'm going to start!"

"Ah! It tickles! No!"

Qing Xuan was pulled up by Li Daoxuan, then he smiled and said, "See if these three Secret Manuals are suitable for you to Cultivate?"

Qing Xuan then rubbed her eyes and took the Secret Manuals. Upon seeing them, she immediately perked up!

"Ah! Senior Brother, where did you get these Secret Manuals?"

Then Qing Xuan covered her small mouth.

She simply glanced at the three Secret Manuals, then solemnly said, "Senior Brother, these aren't the Sect's Cultivation Techniques?"

"You... I won't ask where you got them, but you must hide them well and not reveal them to anyone, understand?"

Li Daoxuan said, "Why so serious?"

"Senior Brother! These three Cultivation Techniques are extremely precious. Even within the Sect, there might not be Cultivation Techniques this valuable."

"If people found out about this, wouldn't they all come to hunt you down!"

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "Is it that serious?"

"Very serious!"

Li Daoxuan continued, "See if there's one suitable for you; you can learn it."

"Mwah! Senior Brother, you're really too good to me."

Qing Xuan then seriously began to look at the three Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, muttering to herself as she read:

"This one is a Body Forging Art. I don't want to get all muscular; that would be so ugly! I won't Cultivate it! Absolutely not!"

"This Cultivation Technique is good, but it's not quite suitable for me!"

"Ah! This sword art is truly exquisite."

"Most importantly, it's so handsome! This one is perfect for me!"

"..."

Li Daoxuan's forehead was covered in black lines as he listened. The Cultivation world values strength and powerful combat ability; who cares about how it looks?

However! What this girl said made so much sense!
