147: Susu, save me!
xiang ji sui fruit?
Jiang Susu's beautiful eyes widened. "What are you looking for that for?"
“What else could it be for?” Huang Qingxue pursed her lips and said, “Naturally, it's to give to him.”
“What?”
Jiang Susu suddenly began to doubt her life. “Qingxue... you already know it was a misunderstanding... you're not still thinking of taking revenge on Brother, are you?”
“I'm not doing it for revenge.” Huang Qingxue shook her head in denial. “I just feel... emm... don't you think he's quite cute right now? If the xiang ji sui fruit can let him maintain his Physical Body like us... I think there's nothing wrong with that... anyway, he doesn't remember who he is anymore.”
“You... you like them young?”
Outside the Sleeping Hall.
Chen Qingxuan, completely unaware of what The two women were discussing, was trying to call out to the System.
He had thought that after restoring his Physical Body, the System would naturally return. However, a day had passed, and there was still no word from it.
“Damn, it couldn't really be gone, could it?”
Chen Qingxuan began to worry.
After so many years of Transmigration, he had long since developed the bad habit of relying on the System. If he had to Cultivate like an ordinary person from now on, while it wasn't impossible... the main issue was that there just wasn't enough time!
He didn't know what happened after being thrown into the Void Fissure, but after regaining consciousness and seeing the remnant souls of Luo Yin and Ji Li, he guessed that The two women had sacrificed themselves.
He was thinking of quickly restoring his strength to find a way to resurrect The two women... but now he was as weak as a babe.
Just as Chen Qingxuan was in despair, a familiar and long-lost electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind like a clap of thunder—
Ding!
【Congratulations Host, the System upgrade is complete. The incense system is currently binding...】
“incense system?”
Chen Qingxuan was dazed.
Wasn't it the celestial being system?
Before he could speak up to question it, the System's explanation already echoed in his mind—
【The Host has not misheard; the System has been upgraded to the incense system.】
【In view of the Host's actions of sacrificing himself for righteousness and saving all living beings, losing the ideals and beliefs of a Celestial Being, abandoning the original mission of a Celestial Being, and resisting the Karma of fate... and since the Host has lost all cultivation, if the previous three talents were to be contracted again, based on their current strength, the Host would be unable to withstand the results of their cultivation and would likely explode and die, which would be more loss than gain.】
【In addition, the System has detected that the Host's statues are spread all over the Cangyun Continent. You have now become the savior in everyone's hearts, with countless believers worshipping you...】
【Considering all aspects, to improve the compatibility between the System and the Host, the celestial being system has specifically upgraded to the incense system.】
“?”
Chen Qingxuan stood frozen on the spot;
The massive amount of information flooding into his mind was difficult for him to digest for a moment.
He had become a kind of faith?
According to the message conveyed by the System, he really had become a totem of the Cangyun Continent. His statues were everywhere; some prayed to him for safety, some for blessings, some for a Breakthrough in their Bottleneck... there were even those praying for children!
In short, people worshipped him for everything, big or small.
“But the incense system... how do I use it?” Chen Qingxuan snapped back to reality; this was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.
Ding—
【The so-called incense system, as the name suggests, is related to believers offering incense and worshipping.】
【The System can convert the incense offerings received by the Host into a specific incense value. When the incense value reaches a certain amount, the Host will gain the qualification to open the System Store. The incense value can be used to purchase various items sold in the System Store, including but not limited to Cultivation Techniques, weapons, Magical Artifacts, and so on.】
【In addition, after binding the incense system, the Host will start the path of divinity, for example, starting as an initial Wild God, then promoted to a Mountain God, then a True God... until becoming the Lord of All Gods, in charge of Reincarnation!】
【The Host can use incense value to upgrade his divinity. Each promotion will unlock corresponding abilities. The Host can also use these abilities to fulfill the wishes of believers, thereby achieving a closed loop of sustainable incense value collection.】
【Friendly reminder: the incense value provided is determined by the strength of the believer. The stronger the believer, the more incense value they provide. It refreshes once a day. Host, please make reasonable use of the System functions.】
【...】
Chen Qingxuan processed this for quite a while.
Until the System gave a 'ding'—
【Congratulations Host, the incense system has completed binding. The Host has successfully been promoted to a Wild God.】
Chen Qingxuan opened his character panel—
Host: Chen Qingxuan
Identity: Wild God
Ability: Golden Spear Unyielding
incense value: 999 (+1+1+1+1...)
“Wait... something seems wrong?”
Chen Qingxuan discovered something;
Before he could figure out the ability column, the System voice rang in his mind—
【Congratulations Host, you have accumulated 1,000 incense value and successfully opened the System Store.】
Feeling the opened System Store, Chen Qingxuan blinked. “So that plus-one plus-one is because someone is currently offering incense and worshipping me.”
At this moment, he seemed to understand the so-called compatibility.
As far as his current situation was concerned, compared to the free-loading nature of the celestial being system, it seemed the benefits brought by the incense system were more direct and efficient.
“But is this freaking right?”
Thinking about his Wild God ability again, Chen Qingxuan really found it hard to keep a straight face;
Golden Spear Unyielding?
What kind of upgraded version of the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Cloth Shirt was this?
After a bit of fumbling... sure enough, it wasn't any Golden Bell Shield or Iron Cloth Shirt.
It was for treating impotence and premature ejaculation.
This counts as Divine Power?
Chen Qingxuan was speechless.
But disappointment aside, as the saying goes, one can never have too many skills; there was no reason to reject a free ability.
Just as he was planning to test the effect on himself, he looked up at the door lock that he couldn't reach even with his arms stretched out, and immediately gave up. “Forget it... I'm still a child.”
And so.
Chen Qingxuan first opened the System Store to browse around.
Although the celestial being system had become the incense system, the items sold in the store were mostly the same; the biggest difference was that they had to be purchased with incense value.
Although the incense value was mostly collected in increments of one or two, the corresponding incense value was also valuable; there was no such thing as high prices for low-value currency.
“My current strength... should be around the Spirit Sea Realm, right?”
Chen Qingxuan clenched his fist and felt it.
The next moment, he invested the continuously increasing incense value into an upgrade. He saw the empty bar in the bottom right corner being filled; although it hadn't reached the peak and wasn't enough to promote from a Wild God to a Mountain God;
At this moment, Chen Qingxuan could clearly feel his strength increasing, faintly approaching the Middle Stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
“This speed...”
Chen Qingxuan was stunned.
Such high-quality growth was even faster than his previous life. As long as there was enough incense value, he wouldn't even be limited by the Bottleneck of a talent.
At this thought, expectation rose in Chen Qingxuan's heart—
He hadn't even done anything yet and could already continuously collect incense value. If he attracted more people to worship him in the future... wouldn't he achieve Ascension on the spot?
“Haha!”
Chen Qingxuan was delighted.
Creak—
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened.
Huang Qingxue squatted down with a smile and said dotingly, “Baby, what are you laughing at?”
“?”
The smile on Chen Qingxuan's face came to an abrupt halt.
Looking at this face that showered him with excessive affection, he secretly vowed in his heart... Old woman, you just wait for this baby;
Pah, I'm not some baby!
“Little Brother~”
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind; it was none other than Jiang Susu.
At this moment, she looked at the obediently standing Chen Qingxuan, her eyes both complex and unable to hide her deep affection.
Although she preferred them big... she could accept him small too!
Chen Qingxuan also looked up at her;
Forced by the fact that Huang Qingxue was still standing in front of him, he didn't dare say anything reckless, but in his heart, he was praying... Susu, quickly take me away from her side!
But as a result, Huang Qingxue pulled him into the Sleeping Hall. “Come, Mother will introduce someone to you.”
“...”
Chen Qingxuan looked at Jiang Susu expectantly;
But Jiang Susu couldn't read his eyes. Not knowing what she had discussed with Huang Qingxue, she actually didn't rush into Chen Qingxuan's arms as frantically as before.
Although Chen Qingxuan couldn't hold her now... he could be held!
“Mother is talking to you!” Huang Qingxue picked Chen Qingxuan up and pointed at Jiang Susu in front of them. “This is your fiancée, her name is Jiang Susu... did you hear that?”
“Susu...”
Chen Qingxuan snapped out of it;
What the hell was with this fiancée thing?
Although he and Jiang Susu had long since shared a marital reality, Huang Qingxue should have opposed such a thing;
Why was she introducing her to him?
“Oh my~ he actually called me Susu?”
On the contrary, Jiang Susu excitedly covered her small mouth. “I almost thought he still remembered me. Just now I thought Brother had come back...”
“Ahem!”
Before Jiang Susu could finish her sentence, Huang Qingxue shot her a warning look.
Jiang Susu quickly stopped and gave Chen Qingxuan a bright smile. “Little Brother, can you call me that again?”
“...”
Chen Qingxuan looked at Huang Qingxue;
Facing the other's gentle gaze and the jade-like hands on his body, he felt like a kitten being kept prisoner.
No, I have to find a way to get into Susu's hands!
He could see it now; Huang Qingxue must have said something to Jiang Susu, which was why Jiang Susu didn't question how he had become the other woman's son.
But he was being forced!
And so, Chen Qingxuan had a sudden idea and opened his arms to Jiang Susu. “Hug...”
“Oh, so cute~”
Jiang Susu's heart almost melted.
The next moment, she opened her arms with a beaming smile, wanting to step forward and give Chen Qingxuan a hug.
But at this time, Huang Qingxue pressed down Chen Qingxuan's hand and said to Jiang Susu, “Restrain yourself a bit... he's still a child!”
Jiang Susu puffed out her cheeks. “I know... I won't do anything reckless.”
“Don't give me that. Don't I know you?”
Huang Qingxue said crossly.
After saying that, she gently stroked Chen Qingxuan's head. “Baby, although she is your fiancée, you are still small... you can only hug her when you grow up a bit. This is called the distinction between men and women, you know?”
Facing the other's maternal education, Chen Qingxuan was completely speechless. “Then why can you hug me?”
“Hmm?”
Huang Qingxue was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Chen Qingxuan to ask such a question.
But the next moment, she still explained gently, “Because I am your mother! You little silly... last night you even insisted that Mother hold you to sleep, did you forget?”
“?”
Chen Qingxuan almost couldn't hold it in;
Holy crap... you were clearly the one who carried me to bed... how did it become me taking the initiative?
Especially being slandered like this in front of Jiang Susu; at this moment, he really wanted to speak up and defend himself.
Unfortunately, he was still in Huang Qingxue's arms, and reason told him not to act recklessly... if she discovered he was faking amnesia, wouldn't she settle both old and new scores with him?
But Chen Qingxuan wasn't a pushover either;
The next moment, he turned to Huang Qingxue as if in revenge. “Hungry... I want milk.”
“Ah? No, you can't!”
Huang Qingxue's face instantly turned red.
After exchanging a shameful glance with Jiang Susu, she said to Chen Qingxuan with a red face, “You're grown up now... not at the age for milk... you need to eat food.”
Watching this scene, Jiang Susu sighed lightly;
Instead of suspecting that Chen Qingxuan was taking revenge for being treated as a son, she only felt that her good brother... had truly become a young boy.
And he really took her good sister as his mother.
“Ah, right.” Jiang Susu suddenly thought of something and stepped forward. “Qingxue, I have milk here for him.”
As she spoke, Jiang Susu took out a bottle of beast milk from her storage ring. It was originally kept for feeding mounts, but for a Cultivator, it was also a great tonic.
“No, no need, it won't fill him up.” Huang Qingxue waved her hand in refusal with a red face, and then said, “Susu, you go find someone to prepare a meal first. We'll feed him later.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Susu didn't think much of it and turned to leave.
And so, only the 'mother and son' were left in the hall.
“So naughty~”
A flush still remained on Huang Qingxue's face as she helplessly poked Chen Qingxuan's cheek.
“...”
Chen Qingxuan turned his head away speechlessly;
Naughty my foot!
At this time, Huang Qingxue suddenly thought of something and asked, “Baby, do you like that fiancée from just now?”
“...” Chen Qingxuan was very helpless with this form of address, but he could only answer honestly, “I like her.”
“Hmph, you little pervert!”
Huang Qingxue gave a doting snort.
Immediately, she asked gently, “Then if Mother and she both fell into a river... and you could only save one person... would you save Mother or save her?”
“?”
Chen Qingxuan looked at her as if he were doubting his life;
No, are you okay?
This is a freaking world of cultivation!
It would be more logical for the two of you to drink the river dry than to drown.
“Quickly, would you save me or save her?” Huang Qingxue urged.
Chen Qingxuan secretly clenched his fist. “Save you, save you.”
“Giggle~”
Huang Qingxue laughed happily.
The next moment, she asked further, “Then who am I to you?”
“...”
Chen Qingxuan didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore and started looking down, picking at his fingers.
But Huang Qingxue wouldn't give up. “I'm talking to you, what am I to you?”
“Wife.”
“Correct... hmm? Not correct.”
Huang Qingxue's delicate face froze;
Before she could speak to correct him, Jiang Susu had already returned with people carrying the food.
“Alright, let's eat first.”
Huang Qingxue dropped the topic and led Chen Qingxuan to the dining table to sit down.
“I'll sit here.”
Jiang Susu took the initiative to sit next to Chen Qingxuan;
This time, Huang Qingxue didn't refuse, but only gave her good sister a look that said 'don't do anything reckless'—
He's still a child!
“...”
And Chen Qingxuan, who was sandwiched between The two women, felt his heart pounding at this moment.
This was an opportunity!
“Mother will get some food for you...”
After glancing at Chen Qingxuan, Huang Qingxue stood up to pick up some food;
Now's the time!
Chen Qingxuan threw down his bowl and chopsticks, his body slumped down, and he slid under the table. Without stopping, he lifted Jiang Susu's skirt and nimbly crawled inside,
“Susu, save me...”
