Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"Did you rescue me from the Eternal Silence Crystal?"

Luo Xue stopped holding the ice sword.

[Ding! Luo Xue's intimacy level +20!]

There is a play!

Seeing the numbers pop up on the system panel, Lin Mo finally felt relieved.

"That's right."

Lin Mo nodded, a kind smile appearing on his face.

"My hands almost broke trying to smash that damn crystal. Put the sword down, it's kind of scary."

He walked to the dragon bed and sat down, raising his hand to pat the edge of the bed beside him.

"Come, sit down. Let's piece together the information, and we'll be able to figure out a lot of things."

Luo Xue stood still, her bare feet on the gold bricks.

She glanced at Lin Mo, then at the edge of the bed.

"Shall we chat?"

Luo Xue sheathed her ice sword and gave a cold laugh.

"Okay, how would you like to talk?"

She strode towards Lin Mo.

"Let's talk about the overwhelming smell of perfume in your room..."

Luo Xue walked up to Lin Mo, suddenly leaned down, and placed her hands on the edges of the bed on either side of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo instinctively leaned back, their faces almost touching.

Luo Xue stared intently at Lin Mo.

"How about we talk about... that mysterious and alluring aura about you?"

[Ding! Luo Xue's intimacy level -30!]

[Current intimacy level: 0!]

Holy crap!?

Lin Mo felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

Is this woman a dog? She changes her mind faster than turning the pages of a book!

The chilling killing intent pierced straight to his bone marrow, and Lin Mo's chaotic true essence automatically circulated to protect his body.

However, the moment the dark golden light appeared, it was instantly suppressed by the extreme cold aura emanating from Luo Xue.

The light faded.

Lin Mo's back was instantly soaked, and his bright yellow dragon robe clung to his body.

He sprang up from the bed, stumbled back several steps, and bumped his back against the golden dragon pillar.

"Wait! Big sister, you've misunderstood!"

Lin Mo raised his hands in front of his chest.

"So what if my room smells of rouge? I am the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, having three palaces and six courtyards is standard for me."

"I just ascended the throne yesterday, so what's wrong with working overtime tonight to enrich my harem?"

"I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards you; we're just having a chat! If you don't believe me, I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay right now. You can settle in first, and we'll investigate slowly!"

Lin Mo spoke extremely quickly, as if afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, he would be stabbed through the heart.

Luo Xue stood by the bed, and with a light tap of her jade foot, the frost on the ground began to spread towards Lin Mo's feet.

"quibble."

Luo Xue turned her head away, and an ice sword once again condensed in her palm.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the water vat in the corner of the Qianqing Palace shattered, the water freezing into a block of ice.

"You have his face, but you're full of worldly filth, which makes me... very uncomfortable."

Luo Xue approached Lin Mo step by step.

Lin Mo was pressed against the pillar, with nowhere left to retreat.

Hearing Luo Xue's words, he also got angry.

Is this even reasonable?!

Whether I'm worldly or not is none of your business.

Lin Mo's voice turned cold.

"I went through all that trouble to rescue you from the crystal, and this is how you treat your savior?"

"Ungrateful wretch, turning your back on your benefactors after using them—is this how your master taught you to be a person?"

"ungrateful?"

Luo Xue stopped and looked Lin Mo up and down.

After a long while, the ice sword in his hand turned into ice shards and dissipated.

"Fine, since you broke the crystal..." Luo Xue uttered two words stiffly, "Thank you."

Then, ignoring Lin Mo, she turned around and looked around.

An unfamiliar palace, unfamiliar furnishings, what kind of place is this?

I was clearly falling into an abyss, so why am I here?

"Can we have a proper talk now?"

Seeing Luo Xue's change in attitude, Lin Mo stepped forward and quickly spoke.

She still possesses five thousand years of cultivation and a hundred thousand troops; she can't refuse this reward.

"No."

Luo Xue didn't turn her head.

"I have no interest in cooperation. I will find out what's going on myself."

Luo Xue tilted her head slightly, glancing at Lin Mo with her red eyes.

Goodbye.

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of red light erupted around Luo Xue.

The red light illuminated the entire Qianqing Palace.

The air surged, forcing Lin Mo to take two steps back again.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Luo Xue transformed into a crimson rainbow, soaring straight into the sky.

The dome of the Qianqing Palace was smashed open, leaving a large hole.

Broken tiles and beams crashed down.

"Wait a minute!?"

Lin Mo reached out to grab it, but grasped only empty air.

Luo Xue's figure had already disappeared.

The glazed tiles fell down with a crash.

A cold wind howled as it poured into the hall.

Lin Mo was stunned for a long time before he realized what had happened.

"Damn it! I went through all that trouble to rescue you, and you're just going to pack up and leave?"

Lin Mo pointed angrily at the hole in the roof.

"What an ungrateful wretch! Heartless and treacherous! A complete ingrate!"

However, all he received in response was the sound of a few broken tiles hitting the ground.

Lin Mo stomped his feet in anger.

He wanted to chase after him, but reason held him back.

That woman is a crazy, demonic cultivator.

If I really anger her, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life with my current level of cultivation.

"hateful."

Lin Mo walked to the armchair and plopped down.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

This is a huge loss.

His wife ran away, the dragon bed collapsed, and there was a big hole in the roof.

This kind of thankless task is a complete waste of time and effort!

"Hmm? That's not right."

Lin Mo suddenly slapped his thigh.

"So, I guess I've completed my mission?"

Although the person ran away, the task progress bar was indeed completed.

What about the system rewards?

Lin Mo immediately immersed his consciousness into the system space.

really.

In the very center of the space, a dark gold treasure chest radiating a seven-colored divine light floats quietly.

The front of the treasure chest is printed with a huge question mark.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and unlocking the mythical-level target "Luo Xue".]

[Received 1 Mystery Treasure Chest!]

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

"That's more like it."

The frustration I felt earlier vanished instantly.

Look at the special effects of this treasure chest, it's definitely not an ordinary treasure!

"Activate!"

Lin Mo decisively issued the order.

Click.

The dark gold treasure chest slowly opened.

Ten thousand golden rays shot into the sky.

The thorns were so sharp that Lin Mo couldn't open his eyes at all.

It seemed as if the sounds of the Great Dao and sacred chants could be heard, along with the faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling.

That's impressive!

"Withdrawal completed! Withdrawal completed!"

Lin Mo's heart was pounding with excitement.

The golden light gradually faded away.

Lin Mo couldn't wait to reach into the treasure chest.

He grabbed the thing inside.

He pulled it out suddenly.

"Let me see what kind of peerless divine weapon this is..."

The words came to an abrupt halt.

The ecstasy on his face froze.

Even the muscles at the corners of his mouth started twitching uncontrollably.

Lin Mo stared wide-eyed at the object in his hand.

What he held in his hand was a dark, crooked iron rod.

Or rather, it's more like a fire poker.

The surface is pitted and uneven, and it feels rusty to the touch.

It was quite heavy, pressing down on his wrist and making it sink.

"What...what the hell is this thing!?"

Lin Mo brought the fire poker close to his eyes and examined it three times over.

There are no array patterns.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy.

It's just a piece of scrap metal!
