Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

Su Yunbai looked at the positive intimacy value on the system panel and felt extremely happy.

Debt-free!

There are still nearly 30,000 points to spare!

After thinking about it, he decided not to rush to improve his cultivation level.

A mid-stage breakthrough to near-Saint level is quite a stir and likely to attract attention.

We'll talk about it after we leave Jizhou.

As for Bixiao's cultivation enhancement card, the Three Lights Divine Water, and the fragments of Qingping Sword Intent...

With a slight thought, Su Yunbai took out the rewards from the system space and handed them to Bixiao.

"Bixiao, these are for you."

"This drop of divine water can nourish your essence, and this fragment of sword intent will greatly benefit your sword cultivation. Use this talisman when you feel the time is right; it can help you break through your current bottleneck."

Bixiao stared at the three treasures floating in front of her, feeling the vast and pure aura emanating from them, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The Three Lights Divine Water! The Azure Lotus Sword Intent! And that cultivation-enhancing talisman that even made her heart tremble!

These are all priceless treasures!

Where did Yun Bai get it from?

But she didn't ask any further questions.

All she knew was that Su Yunbai had given her the best of everything.

This is enough.

"Thank you..." She put away the treasure and hugged Su Yunbai tightly. "I will use it carefully."

"By the way," Su Yunbai added, "my injuries have stabilized after the dual cultivation. I'll recover in a day or two of rest. You don't need to worry."

Now that we're already bound, there's no need to pretend to be "severely injured" anymore.

Bi Xiao carefully sensed it and indeed found that although Su Yunbai's aura was not very strong, its origin was stable and there was no sign of it collapsing.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

The two lingered for a few more moments.

Bixiao suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed slightly.

"Yunbai, I... I didn't message my older sister last night to let her know where I was... She must be worried sick right now!"

"And also, about our matter... what about my eldest sister and second sister..."

Su Yunbai understood her concerns.

Bixiao is not Jiang Xiaowu after all.

She was an inner disciple of the Jie Sect and had a bond with the Three Immortal Sisters of Sanxiao.

This matter must be handled properly.

"Don't rush," he reassured her. "First, send a message to Fairy Yunxiao to let her know you're safe and sound. Tell her you met a kindred spirit in Jizhou, that everything is alright, and that you'll be back in a few days."

"As for our matter... let's not talk about it for now."

"When the time is right, I will personally accompany you back to the Three Immortal Islands to explain to Fairy Yunxiao and Fairy Qiongxiao."

His tone was calm and steady, carrying a reassuring power.

Bixiao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She now trusts Su Yunbai completely.

She took out the jade pendant and began sending a message.

She spoke in a relaxed tone, only saying that she had a great time in Jizhou, had met a very good friend, and would be staying a few more days, telling her older sister not to worry.

The message has been delivered.

Bixiao breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled back into Su Yunbai's arms.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the two of them.

Warm and bright.

Su Yunbai held Bixiao in his arms, his gaze fixed on the window.

Bixiao has successfully bound herself to Bixiao, greatly increasing her strength and giving her ample intimacy points.

It's time to start planning the next step.

The North Sea has been leveled.

Xiqi will be established.

Undercurrents were stirring in Chaoge.

The sage Nuwa is eyeing us covetously.

Now, with Bixiao as his Daoist partner from the Jie Sect, he has accumulated sufficient intimacy points, and his cultivation is about to break through.

They have more and more chips in their hands.

On the chessboard of the Investiture of the Gods.

He, Su Yunbai, finally had the right to make a real move.

A confident and dignified smile curved at the corners of his lips.

Bixiao looked up and saw his expression.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Yunbai lowered his head and smiled gently at her.

"Thinking about...our future."

"And how to protect you during this great calamity, and give you a peaceful and prosperous world."

Bixiao felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and hugged him tightly.

"Yes. Let's do it together."

Sunlight filled the room.

Bixiao nestled in Su Yunbai's arms, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest.

"Yunbai," she called softly.

"Um?"

"You mentioned before... that you gained a Daoist partner while suppressing the rebellion in Beihai?" Bixiao looked up, her eyes filled with curiosity, not jealousy. "Is her name Jiang Xiaowu?"

Su Yunbai nodded.

"She was a half-human, half-demon from the North Sea, with a pitiful past. I saved her, and later... we got together."

Bixiao blinked: "Then... what about Daji? I heard from the people of Jizhou that you two were childhood sweethearts..."

"Daji is the first person I've ever truly loved in this life," Su Yunbai said frankly. "We grew up together and have long since pledged our lives to each other."

Bixiao remained silent for a moment.

Then, she suddenly laughed.

"We disciples of the Jie Sect are not bound by worldly etiquette. Our Master often said that all things can attain enlightenment, and so can relationships."

She leaned back against Su Yunbai's chest.

"As long as you treat me and them sincerely, I don't care how many Daoist partners you have."

"But you have to promise me," Bixiao looked up, a playful glint in her eyes, "that if there are any new ones in the future... you have to let me know first."

Su Yunbai chuckled.

He hugged Bixiao tightly: "Okay, I promise you."

But in his heart he thought, "The binding system is here; there's no way to hide it."

However, Bixiao's magnanimity saved a lot of trouble.

The two lingered for a few more moments.

Bixiao suddenly sat up.

"Oh right, I need to go back to Three Immortals Island first."

Su Yunbai looked at her.

"We need to give an explanation to my eldest and second sisters." Bixiao straightened her clothes. "Although we sent a message to let them know we're safe, if we don't go back in person, they might come looking for us."

She paused.

"Furthermore, I would like to discuss the Three Lights Divine Water and the fragments of Qingping Sword Intent that you gave me with my sisters. And that cultivation enhancement talisman... Breaking through to the Great Luo realm is no ordinary feat, so we need to be well prepared."

Su Yunbai nodded.

Bixiao's considerations were thorough.

"Alright. When are you leaving?"

"I'll leave today," Bixiao said. "The sooner you go back, the sooner you can rest easy. Don't worry, I'll take care of things with my sisters."

She leaned down and gave Su Yunbai a light kiss on the lips.

"Wait for me to come back."

Su Yunbai held her hand: "Take care on your journey. If anything changes, send me a message immediately."

"Okay."

Bixiao stood up and tidied her appearance.

She turned back as she reached the door.

In the sunlight, her smile was radiant.

"Yunbai, when I return, I hope to see you fully recovered."

"must."

Bixiao waved his hand, transformed into a streak of blue light, and disappeared into the horizon.

Su Yunbai watched her leave.

The room quieted down.

He slowly sat up.

"Pretending to be seriously injured... that must be exhausting."

He stretched his muscles and bones, and his breathing suddenly changed.

Where is there even a trace of weakness left?

The aura of a quasi-saint at the early stage naturally emanated from him. Although he tried to restrain it, it still caused the air in the room to stagnate slightly.

"System," he called out in his mind.

[Ding! What are your orders, host?]

"Open the properties panel."

A semi-transparent light screen appeared before my eyes:

[Host: Su Yunbai]

Cultivation level: Early stage of Quasi-Saint (bottleneck loosening, ready to break through to the middle stage at any time)

Cultivation Techniques: Nine Revolutions Profound Technique (Fourth Revolution), Origin of the Law of Emotion

Current intimacy level: 29425 points

System loan: fully repaid, 60000 points available.

Su Yunbai's gaze swept over them.

Nearly 30,000 intimacy points.

It's time to make some proper plans.
