59. Divine Phoenix Fox Demon
“Notification: The host has… Since the other party already has a master, to avoid plot holes, Shangguan Ziyuan will now address the host as ‘Big Sister.’ The host can now view Shangguan Ziyuan’s information.”
Big Sister???
“Notification: Shangguan Ziyuan’s bloodline, due to receiving immortal power, has transformed into Divine Phoenix Fox Demon, and her bloodline power has awakened.”
What the hell is a Divine Phoenix Fox Demon???
“Notification: The modified Nine Revolutions Heavenly Divine Pill has significantly affected Shangguan Ziyuan’s personality. The extent of the effect is for the host to experience.”
Modified? Personality change?
“Notification: The host has been passively involved in the Heartflame Empire’s power struggle. View the quest [My Royal Sister Can’t Be This Cute].”
Cute my ass! This is so sudden.
“Notification: By the way…”
There’s a “by the way” now?
“Immortal Ziyuan—’s Big Sister, I wasn’t lying. This really is the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Divine Pill.”
Gong Yiling’s eye twitched.
Damn…
Looking at the woman bathed in purplish-black light, Gong Yiling rubbed her forehead and opened her so-called little sister’s character information.
“Name: Shangguan Ziyuan
Gender: Female
Identity: Fifth Princess of the Heartflame Empire, possessing the Heavenly Phoenix Fox Demon bloodline (upgraded to Divine Phoenix Fox Demon)
Physical Talent: E-
Spiritual Talent: EX
Cultivation Technique Potential: E-
Potential Adaptability: All demonic cultivation techniques.
Current Cultivation Technique: None
Estimated Cultivation Limit: Divine Venerable Realm
Note: Due to the unique nature of the Divine Phoenix Fox Demon bloodline, she cannot learn any cultivation techniques but can utilize all demonic spiritual energy without restrictions. Her cultivation level is tied to her bloodline awakening level.
Current Bloodline Awakening Level: II
Corresponding Cultivation Level: Core Transformation
Note 2: To increase her bloodline level, she needs to absorb a large amount of fox essence, or phoenix essence as a substitute.”
Gong Yiling: “…”
Miss Gong first stared at the words “Divine Venerable Realm,” her lips twitching.
Then, after reading through the entire information panel, she was utterly shocked.
Was this status screen written by a foot?
What the hell was an EX-rank spiritual talent? And although she couldn’t learn cultivation techniques, it didn’t matter.
This meant this girl could build a sofa, a 4k TV, and a PS5 in mid-air, without any foundation, and play Monster Hunter World.
Get the picture?
Utterly absurd.
Although the method of advancement was a bit demanding, phoenix essence… the Spirit Phoenix Broom seemed to convert spiritual energy into phoenix essence.
Aha, what a coincidence…
That random item she picked up had such an effect. Unbelievable.
Then, there was the quest interface.
“Quest Name: [My Royal Sister Can’t Be This Cute]
Quest Level: So-so
Quest Objective: Help Shangguan Ziyuan win the power struggle in the Heartflame Empire and become the new Empress (0/1)
Quest Reward: Super high-quality fox girl cosplay outfit
Time Limit: One year.”
After reading this, Gong Yiling: “???”
Seriously, last time it was the S10 trophy, now it’s a cosplay outfit?
“Are you fucking retarded, System?”
Miss Gong couldn’t help but curse. “What the hell is this reward?”
Such a difficult quest, and the reward wasn’t some divine material or even a single spirit stone.
A fox girl cosplay outfit? Was it meant for her, a… well, she wasn’t a man anymore, but still, was it for her to wear?
She, Gong Yiling, would jump off a cliff before wearing such a thing, absolutely!
“Master?”
“Huh?”
“What’s a system?”
“Huh?”
Miss Gong realized she had spoken her thoughts aloud.
Damn it!
It wasn’t difficult to explain what a system was, but she had just cursed in front of Qiu Shui.
Where was her image? She had to maintain her composure as a good teacher! How could she use such vulgar language?
“No, no, no.” Gong Yiling waved her hands. “Qiu Shui, don’t learn from me. I just heard someone say that, so I repeated it.”
“Really?” Qiu Shui stuck out her tongue.
She didn’t find her master’s outburst strange. In fact, this was much more approachable and genuine than her usual refined demeanor.
“Forget about that. Let’s play a guessing game.” Gong Yiling’s eyes flickered. She had found a way to change the subject. “Do you think this Fifth Princess will change after gaining power?”
“Change?” Qiu Shui didn’t understand.
Gong Yiling gave an example. “Like her appearance, personality, and so on.”
“Is that a side effect of the pill?”
“Mmm…” Gong Yiling muttered, crossing her arms. “You can think of it that way.”
“Then…” Qiu Shui thought for a moment. “I guess Her Highness will become much more beautiful.”
“Can you be more specific? Like, will she suddenly turn into a fox demon or something?”
Qiu Shui blinked, puzzled. “Turn into a fox demon?”
“Yes, let’s make a bet. I bet she’ll turn into a fox demon, and her personality will become more cunning and seductive, like a fox demon. What do you think?”
“The Fifth Princess… will still be the Fifth Princess, right?” Lacking crucial information, Qiu Shui didn’t think a pill could change someone’s race.
“But Master, what are we betting?”
“Let’s bet a question.” Gong Yiling messed up Qiu Shui’s hair, grinning. “If I win, Qiu Shui answers one of my questions. If you win, I’ll answer one of yours. How about it?”
A question… about Master?
This bet was incredibly tempting for the girl.
Although she couldn’t think of anything to ask at the moment, this was a chance to get closer to her master.
“Okay!” The moment she agreed, Gong Yiling started plotting.
Although winning with a cheat felt a bit unfair, she was just playing around. She wouldn’t ask anything too outrageous. Maybe she could even boost her affection level.
Her affection with Qiu Shui had been stuck at barely above zero, showing no signs of increasing recently.
It had been three months, and she still hadn’t reached the reward threshold. This wouldn’t do.
As for the question she wanted to ask, she already had one prepared.
