Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

Xiao Yao looked at Yun Yun, suddenly thinking of something interesting, and said with a mischievous smile, "Since you've discovered that my background is fake, fine, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. So Yun Zhi, listen carefully to my next story."

Yun Yun sat with her legs crossed and her hands on her lap, showing off her slender and long legs. She looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Oh, go on, I'll be listening."

Looking at Yun Yun sitting upright, Xiao Yao couldn't help but chuckle. He cleared his throat and spoke in a deep, resonant voice: "In the northeast of the Jiama Empire, there is an ancient stone village where a genius, a once-in-a-century talent, has emerged. At such a young age, he has reached a level of physical strength comparable to that of a magical beast, and his cultivation is unmatched among his peers."

Upon hearing this, Yunyun joked, "Oh, so you're the outstanding one."

Xiao Yao coughed lightly and said, "Well, let me finish telling this story first."

"Alright, let's see what kind of story you can come up with."

Xiao Yao continued: "Just after that little genius grew up, one day after he turned thirteen, a young man in his prime flew towards the boy with white wings of battle qi on his back. He stopped above him and made a loud sound."

"Hey, little guy, what's your name?"

At this moment, the young boy raised his head, looked at him, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

He didn't recognize the young man, and given the man's formidable strength, he worried that the man might have ulterior motives. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "My name is Yao Xiao. Why are you looking for me? I don't know you."

The young man looked at the boy and replied with a smile, "I am Yunshan, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. I have heard that there is an ancient stone village here, where a genius who appears only once in a century has emerged. Not only is his physique extraordinary, but his cultivation is also unparalleled in ancient times."

Now that I see you appearing near Little Stone Village, coupled with your cultivation level and physique—both are talents I've never seen before—you must be that person.

The young boy was somewhat surprised by what the Yunshan Sect Master said; he hadn't expected his reputation to have spread to the Yunlan Sect.

He smiled slightly and shook his head modestly: "Sect Master Yunshan, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary young man who was fortunate enough to obtain some opportunities."

The sect leader of Yunshan looked at the young boy with a humble expression, but his eyes revealed a firmness and confidence.

A hint of admiration flashed in Yunshan's eyes: "Your humility makes me admire you even more. However, I believe your strength is definitely more than this. Your appearance may be the hope for the future of our Yunshan Sect."

The young boy was quite excited upon hearing his words.

He knew that gaining the approval and appreciation of the Yunshan Sect Master was a rare opportunity for him. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and replied earnestly, "Sect Master Yunshan, I will cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations."

The Sect Master of Yunshan nodded in satisfaction after hearing his words: "Very good, I look forward to your growth. If you are willing, I can take you as my disciple and personally guide your cultivation. By the way, I also have a beautiful disciple, who is about your age. I can betroth her to you, as long as your cultivation can reach the Dou Huang level in the future."

Just as Xiao Yao was describing how Yun Shan had betrothed his prized disciple to Yan Xiao, Yun Yun, who was standing to the side, suddenly blushed after hearing Xiao Yao's story. Her rosy lips turned purple and blue, and she clenched her teeth.

In an instant, Yun Yun grabbed Xiao Yao by the collar and threw him up, then stretched out her slender and long jade leg and kicked him in the buttocks. Yun Yun's movements were as fast as lightning, and Xiao Yao had no time to react. He only had time to see Yun Yun's beautiful and angry face, and then he felt as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage and was shot away, crashing directly into the wall of the cave.

With a loud "bang!", Xiao Yao felt as if he had been hit in the head by a heavy hammer, and his whole body became dizzy and disoriented.

He stood up and saw Yun Yun's angry and embarrassed expression, realizing that he had indeed gone a bit too far.

Xiao Yao rubbed his buttocks and said to Yun Yun, "Yun Zhi, is this how you treat your savior? Besides, this is just a story, and you're not a member of the Yunlan Sect."

Yun Yun stood not far away, watching his disheveled appearance, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips: "Yao Xiao, don't think that just because you saved me you can arbitrarily fabricate other people's fates. Regardless of whether I am a member of the Yunlan Sect or not, you cannot gossip about other people's marriages."

Xiao Yao scratched his head awkwardly and quickly apologized to Yun Yun, "Yun Zhi, that story was all fake, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Yun Yun immediately turned her head away and stopped talking. Seeing this, Xiao Yao took out a filet mignon from the system supermarket, put it on a frying pan and fryed it. Soon, the aroma filled the air, and Xiao Yao placed the grilled steak in front of Yun Yun.

At this moment, Yun Yun smelled the fragrance, her throat bobbed involuntarily, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Yao's smiling face, thinking, "Sigh, never mind, I'll forgive him for this behavior."

So she said haughtily, "Hmph, considering the delicious food you made yourself, I'll generously forgive you."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Hey, as expected, no woman can remain reserved in front of delicious food!"

He laughed and replied to Yun Yun, "Haha, Yunzhi, don't worry, I promise I'll never joke like that again."

Yun Yun glared at him, but a slight smile remained on her lips.

She picked up her knife and fork and began to enjoy the delicious dinner. Xiao Yao watched her, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.

He knew that although this misunderstanding made things a little awkward between them, it also made them cherish their friendship even more.

Having eaten too much, Xiao Yao felt a bit thirsty. He took out a bottle of ice-cold Sprite from his storage ring, opened it, and took a big gulp. Xiao Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this Sprite is so delicious! It's so refreshing and thirst-quenching!"

After taking a sip, Xiao Yao closed his eyes contentedly, enjoying the refreshing feeling of Sprite.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Yun Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What kind of water are you drinking? I've never seen it before. Quick, give me a bottle to try too."

Xiao Yao listened to her words and looked at her with a smile: "Yunzhi, I won't tell you what kind of water it is, I'll get you a bottle." After saying that, he took out a bottle of Sprite from his storage ring and handed it to her.

Yunyun took it, opened it, and gulped down a big mouthful, immediately feeling much refreshed.

After a while, Xiao Yao suddenly heard a "hiccup" sound, turned to look at Yun Yun, and said with a mischievous smile, "Yun Zhi, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Yun Yun's face flushed crimson, like a blooming peach blossom, and she said angrily, "Hiccup, Yao Xiao, what did you give me to drink? I feel like I can't stop hiccuping."

"What you're drinking is a local specialty from my hometown. Drinking too much at once will cause this. It'll be fine in a while." Xiao Yao thought she looked really cute when she was shy.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to rest. In the quiet night, they seemed to have forgotten all their worries and stress, and simply enjoyed the rare moment of peace.
