Banshee Family Training Record

When a perfect cycle formed within his body, in an instant, all power was turned around and used for his own purposes. The masculine power emanated from the vortex in his dantian, and the pain and discomfort brought by the yin energy, whether it was the corpse poison in his shoulders, the muscle spasms from blood loss, or the pain of his heart being squeezed, were all swept away by this yang energy.

A brand new storm of spiritual energy, which he was in control of, swept through the inside and outside of the coffin. In an instant, the exhilarating feeling of being reborn made him let out a sigh: "Ah—!"

Along with the sigh, a system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding, host's cultivation level has increased, currently at Qi Refining Level 1..."

"The host has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. The system has automatically generated a selectable reward..."

With this sound, a pale blue screen appeared, displaying three lines of small text.

The first item is a Qi Gathering Pill, which can accelerate cultivation.

The second option is a set of wolf-hair brushes, cinnabar, and yellow paper, which can be used to make talismans.

The third is a "Negativity Erasure Card," which can erase a family member's animosity towards you, making their attitude towards you "indifferent."

Yun Chu'an didn't have time to look at the detailed functions of the three rewards at the moment. He silently said "I won't claim them for now" and then continued to immerse himself in dual cultivation.

The intense Yang energy seemed to ignite his flesh and meridians. At this moment, he felt as if he possessed boundless heat and only wanted to keep moving to release his excess energy!

His heart was pounding, his muscles were turning red, his back was sweating, and his waist and abdomen were like a pile driver with the accelerator floored and the power at maximum, launching attack after attack on his zombie bride, shattering, smashing, and destroying all her spiritual power and yin energy, ravaging her body beyond recognition.

The zombie bride growled angrily, scratching at Yun Chu'an's back, leaving streaks of blood that were filled with excruciating pain, but all of this was in vain.

Her cultivation level was originally much higher than Yun Chu'an's, and this coffin was her lair, her home ground—however, at this moment, the environment and formations specially set up for her have strangely lost control, not only ignoring her commands but also being used by her instead!

And so that enormous, supremely yang entity, imbued with boundless spiritual energy, repeatedly pounded against her body. She wanted to resist, wanted to fight back, but it was like a trapped beast struggling in a net, utterly powerless to change her already predetermined defeat!

With each impact of that supremely yang object, the yang spiritual energy forcefully and unreasonably invaded her body, dispelling the yin energy within her and taking the initiative to dominate the circulation of spiritual energy within her body.

In an instant, the female zombie's originally cold body began to warm up, her muscles began to heat up, and even her smooth, jade-like skin began to be covered with fine sweat, making her already delicate skin even smoother and more wonderful to touch.

Her forehead and cheeks were gradually turning red, and beads of sweat of excitement began to appear on the tip of her nose. Suddenly, she stopped screaming, and although her eyes were still closed, she was clenching her teeth, trying her best to suppress something.

However, her fingernails were still scratching Yun Chu'an's back, and her legs were still trying their best to clamp his waist, as if she had not given up resisting. This prevented Yun Chu'an from noticing anything unusual.

Finally, at the very end, when Yun Chuan's supreme yang power invaded the deepest part of her body, releasing its power there, it completely corrupted and occupied this most private yet sacred area.

Lying flat on her back, yet with her two beautiful, white legs raised and spread apart, the zombie bride, who was still gritting her teeth and trying to restrain herself, let out a groan: "Ah—!"

The sound seemed to be pain, sorrow, and anger, yet it was so melodious, no longer the hoarse and unpleasant growl that sounded like rotten wood scraping against each other, but the moan that a young woman should have.

"call……"

Yun Chu'an released all his power and finally exhaled a long breath. As if the burning power was slowly fading away, even though he was drenched in sweat and his heart was pounding, he also felt a kind of indescribable exhaustion.

The zombie bride's legs, which had been wrapped around his waist, gradually relaxed, her body still trembling, as if she had lost all strength after such an impact. Yun Chu'an then slowly lay down, putting his arm around her rounded shoulders, and lay flat beside her, looking at this beautiful girl with her eyes closed, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

I never imagined my first time would be with a zombie. This is truly...

He thought about it, and a mix of emotions welled up inside him. Looking at the bride so close, her exquisite and beautiful face certainly suited his aesthetic, but ultimately, the living and the dead were worlds apart…

As he was thinking this, he saw the zombie bride's eyelashes tremble twice.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Chapter 4 System Panel

The moment the zombie bride opened her eyes, Yun Chu'an's heart almost stopped. However, when she actually opened her eyes, he found that things weren't as terrifying as he had imagined.

The eyes did not hold the murderous intent he had imagined; instead, they were filled with a kind of confusion, as if their owner had just woken up and was still not quite sure of his current situation.

Her bewildered gaze fell on Yun Chu'an, then her beautiful, willow-leaf-shaped brows furrowed slightly, as if she were quite confused: "Who... are you?"

Yun Chuan'an's heart stirred. His intuition told him that the woman in front of him and the cruel, beast-like zombie from before were not the same consciousness.

Therefore, instead of answering the question directly, he asked in return, "Do you remember your name?"

Upon hearing this, a clear look of pain immediately appeared on the girl's face.

She frowned, lowered her head, and shook her head pitifully: "No... my head hurts so much, don't ask me..."

Yun Chu'an immediately realized that the other party's consciousness, including the three souls and seven spirits, was probably incomplete.

Perhaps, this is my chance.

Thinking this, he then said softly, "Your name is Qi Qiao, do you remember me?"

Upon hearing this, the female zombie's pained expression softened: "Ah...right, I remember now, my name is Qi Qiao, I...who am I?"

She looked up at him, bewildered and panicked, as if grasping at a straw. Yun Chu'an forced himself to remain calm and continued, "You are my bride, and I am your husband."

"And today is a day of great joy for us."

As he said this, he felt somewhat ashamed. However, recalling how he had almost been killed by the other party just now, this slight sense of shame vanished without a trace.

Before her, the female zombie Qi Qiao's expression gradually became confused: "You are my...husband?"

She seemed unsure, but Yun Chu'an looked directly at her and nodded firmly: "Yes."

Qi Qiao seemed to want to say something more, but then her eyelids began to droop. She lowered her head, seemingly unable to remain conscious, and naturally unable to continue thinking about his words: "Ah... Husband."

Finally, her voice was almost a murmur. She closed her eyes again, as if asleep, or as if dead, returning to her zombie state.

Yun Chu'an watched all this, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew nothing about the other person's background, origins, or what had happened, and he had no way of controlling his own or the other person's future fate.

Regardless of all this, suppressing the weariness in my heart, I silently called out, "System!"

Even though the zombie had quieted down and seemed safe for the time being, he knew the crisis was not over yet.

This unexpected cheat code is his only reliance at the moment.

He needed to figure out exactly how much this thing could help him.

With his call, the pale blue screen reappeared before his eyes.

Host: Yun Chuan

Sex: Male

Race: human

Life span: 96

Spiritual Root: Superior Grade (Common)

Constitution: Ordinary

Realm: First level of Qi Refining

Skills: None

Spells: None

Skills: None

As he stared at each line of information, tiny print would appear beside it as annotations. He hadn't had time to examine it closely in the urgency of the situation, but now that he had the time, he could finally read it carefully.

The first three items need no further explanation, while the fourth item, "lifespan," indicates that under ideal circumstances, he can live for a maximum of ninety-six more years before naturally dying of old age.

Yun Chu'an remembered that the number was sixty-six before. He was twenty-four years old this year, which meant that under extreme circumstances, he could live to be ninety.

He wasn't particularly old.

As for now, the fact that I can live another 96 years under extreme circumstances, reaching the age of 120, should be the result of my improved cultivation.

His gaze then moved downwards. Spiritual roots and physical physique are both parts of a person's talent, one is spiritual and the other is physical, two sides of the same coin.

His spiritual root had been upgraded from "low-grade mortal" to "high-grade." According to the system's description, his spiritual root was previously that of the most ordinary common people, and one could even say that he had no talent for cultivation. However, now, his cultivation speed could even be described as rapid.

Although there are even more outstanding spiritual roots, such as special spiritual roots with excellent affinity to the five elements, and supreme spiritual roots with perfect five elements, those are extremely rare. His current talent can already be considered that of a minor genius.

Below that lies the cultivation realm. Previously, he was merely a mortal with no cultivation, but now he is a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage. The Qi Refining stage is divided into nine levels, followed by Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and so on, much like the fantasy novels he had read in his previous life.

This is a function of the system, displaying his personal information. But the system's more crucial capabilities are on another page.

He tapped his finger, flipped to the "Family Relationships" section next to "Personal Attributes," and then saw a large, dark, and complex web.

His portrait is in the center, and to his right is his zombie bride Qi Qiao, with a line drawn between them indicating their "husband and wife" relationship.

Above Qi Qiao's profile picture is a line, but the link to the other party is a big question mark. Obviously, he doesn't know the other party yet, so the system can't display the other party's information.

Yun Chu'an fixed his gaze on the words "husband and wife," and then a line of small print appeared next to them.

A marital relationship requires a complete wedding ceremony, and only when both parties are willing can the relationship be established.

While the conditions for achieving this relationship are somewhat stringent, the benefits are also staggering: during dual cultivation, both parties can not only share the benefits of cultivation and utilize each other's strengths to fill their own gaps, but also elevate their cultivation level, allowing their soul and body to be sublimated, thereby enhancing their talents.

Yun Chu'an's ability to achieve such a significant improvement in his spiritual root during his first dual cultivation was due to Qi Qiao being his legal wife.

Reading these descriptions, he couldn't help but secretly think to himself: he was clearly terrified at first and wasn't really willing to marry this female zombie. It seems this description is flawed; establishing this relationship doesn't require his own willingness. The other person just needs to be willing, and after a wedding ceremony, she can become his wife.

Well, to be honest, I didn't really lose out.

Suppressing his slight annoyance, he fixed his gaze on Qi Qiao's profile picture, where a "personal attributes" option then appeared.

He tapped on it, and Qi Qiao's condition appeared before his eyes:

Wife: Qi Qiao

Gender: Female

Race: zombie

Life span: 0

Spiritual Root: Low-grade Yin Spiritual Root (damaged, in the process of recovery)

Physique: Foundation Establishment Yin Corpse

Realm: Qi Refining Level 3

Technique: Corpse-driving Mind Technique

Trust level: Adoration

Looking at his wife's profile, Yun Chu'an raised an eyebrow and carefully read the annotations, only to realize that his bride had actually been a Foundation Establishment cultivator in her previous life.

However, she is now dead and has been reborn as a zombie. Therefore, even though she has a powerful body, her cultivation level is only at the upper level of Qi Refining. As a result, even a mortal like myself can suppress and overpower her with the help of the system.

Although her spiritual root was of inferior quality, it was still a special yin spiritual root. She was a prodigy who was born to cultivate yin techniques and deal with all kinds of dead souls and ghosts.

But fate played a cruel trick on her. After cultivating for so many years, she failed to become a zombie-slaying expert. Instead, she became a zombie herself and was driven away by others...

Such a thought arose in his mind, and he was filled with emotion. His gaze continued downwards, but he couldn't understand the techniques and spells, so he could only try to decipher them from the text for the time being.

Until the very end, the level of trust he felt made him raise an eyebrow.

Admiration?

According to the annotation, the level of favorability is roughly divided into five levels, from low to high: hatred, disgust, indifference, favorability, and love.

And Qi Qiao's... this is the highest level, it's admiration?

He was confused, but then he suddenly recalled the series of conversations that had taken place between him and the zombie when it suddenly regained consciousness.

Could it be because of what just happened?

Thinking about all this, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and his conscience ached a bit for having tricked an innocent girl into falling in love with him.

But when she thought about what she had just done to herself, all that guilt vanished instantly.

He adjusted his mindset and was about to retrieve the rewards he had just received to carefully consider which prize was most suitable for him when suddenly, the lid of his coffin was opened above his head.

Yun Chu'an subconsciously looked up and saw a figure completely wrapped in a black robe standing next to the coffin, coldly looking down at him.

She was still watching Qi Qiao, the zombie bride, who was curled up in his arms and was almost naked except for her bellyband.

At the same time, the system notification sounded immediately: "Ding, you have met the current clan leader, 'Grandma Huaishan'."

Chapter 5 System Functions

Suddenly, Yun Chu'an's heart clenched.

Oh no, the mastermind behind this has arrived!

He had only been safe for less than half an hour when a new death threat loomed over him. A sense of despair welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but curse silently.

Tired, destroy it!

He gritted his teeth, suppressing the despair and anger in his heart, and hid the hatred on his face, replacing it with a guilty and cautious expression as he looked at the man in black robes.

He knew that he was likely at a complete disadvantage against someone with magical powers. Now, he could only feign harmlessness; perhaps that would be his only chance of survival.

However, the old woman from Huai Mountain, dressed in black robes with an indistinct face, had no intention of wasting words with him. She immediately reached out, and a black ribbon extended, binding Yun Chu'an's body.
