First Quest Appeared
Soon night fell. The Xiao Clan was devoid of any celebrative atmosphere. The people who attended the 'celebrations' made fun of Yun Che and termed it as his luck to marry such a heaven-sent beauty. They didn't bother to hide their jealously.
So, they belittled and spoke badly about Yun Che. Everyone agreed to that. What they dreamed now was that Qingyue to divorce the trash and marry anyone of them.
But nothing worked the way they wanted. Yun Che hearing all the mocking words was silent. He promised himself to teach them a lesson as soon as he increases his cultivation. He made his way to the bridal chamber where Xia Qingyue is currently residing.
[Host leveled up!]
[Host entered the 1st stage of Nascent Profound Realm!]
Hearing the system notification, Yun Che's mood lightened up. His previous anger dissipated and now is in a good mood as his cultivation level kept on increasing as the profound aura ran through his meridians completing cycles and cycles. He was quite delighted as he easily stepped into Nascent Profound Realm in a single day.
'Sigh... In a day, without focussing on cultivation, I increased my cultivation by one whole realm. I still had a long way to go.' Yun Che thought.
Opening the door, Yun Che saw Qingyue sitting on the bed still wearing her coronet.
In the tradition of the Profound Sky Continent, the bridegroom unveils the coronet on the bride. It was a custom they followed. Yun Che knew the marriage is just for the formality and he did not have to put up with this lady.
Thinking this, Yun Che silently entered and didn't want to bother her. As soon as Xia Qingyue saw Yun Che enter, she spoke.
"Don't have any weird thoughts now. Our marriage is only for the namesake. If you have any other intentions, it isn't good for you." Xia Qingyue warned in a serious tone. She spoke in such a manner not wanting to negotiate with him and her words meant to be final.
Yun Che stood there and gave a nod. 'Who wants to deal with you? I would rather focus on my cultivation.' he thought.
At least that will bear him any fruits. As he turned away to find any secluded place to cultivate, Xia Qingyue spoke
"Don't tell anyone about our relationship. Otherwise..." She paused and the surrounding temperature started dropping, letting Yun Che realize the consequences.
Yun Che soon left the room and headed towards the Mountains. He felt at ease sitting under the tree.
After Yun Che was gone, a figure appeared in the room.
She was Chu Yueli, one of the seven fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard. And the little sister of Chu Yuechan. She was the master of Xia Qingyue.
"Disciple Qingyue greets master", Xia Qingyue greeted politely.
"You have done well Qingyue. Now you can return back to the sect soon." Chu Yueli let out a smile and told Qingyue.
"But... Master. Is it okay?" Qingyue decided to go along with her master's wishes. But now she felt a little bad for Yun Che. It has been a long time since she had ever seen him. It didn't hurt to talk to him for a bit. But, according to her sect's instructions, she was prohibited from any contact with anyone aside from cultivating.
At first, she at least wanted to inform about her. But her master stopped her from telling anything about Frozen Cloud Asgard. Xia Qingyue followed what her master had said.
"You are too young and naive Qingyue. As you have already warned him, he would refrain from having any bad intentions on you anymore. Don't forget, as a disciple of mine, you should never focus on all such irrelevant matters. What I say is for your own good." Chu Yueli spoke arrogantly and supported her doing.
"Disciple understands," said Qingyue, her eyes turning to her tranquility.
"Now, continue to cultivate." Chu Yueli instructed and soon vanished from the room.
Chu Yueli was known to have a high temper. She felt all men were beneath her. She treated Yun Che just like air. But what she doesn't know is that in the near future, she would regret this same day along with Xia Qingyue.
(Mountain Range)
"It's has been a very long time since Xiao Che even met her. At least she could have spoken to me a little. Anyway, it's for my own good. What if she suddenly tries to attack?
It feels a little safe now as I am away from her. It's quite frustrating to be weak. System, Is there any method to increase my cultivation faster?" Yun Che asked the system.
[Ding!]
[Host is passively cultivating at present. So, the speed is quite slow. If in active mode, the speed will eventually increase.]
[System recommends you to kill Demonic Beasts to increase the Level faster, Host]
"How will killing beasts help me increase my cultivation?" asked Yun Che. He was a little curious to find out how his level can improve just by killing profound beasts.
[System will extract the profound strength from the Demonic Beasts killed by Host]
[The stronger, the Host kills, the more your Cultivation level increases] System answered.
"Does it work the same way if I kill any cultivators", asked Yun Che as he thought of this possibility.
[It is possible, Host]
[But the system suggests that it's not a good idea. Killing evil people will increase the Host's cultivation]
Yun Che felt satisfied hearing the system and sat down and tried to cultivate. The system provided him assistance as it was his first time cultivating. He cultivated for some time and felt his absorption of profound aura kept flowing faster than before from the surroundings.
The Sky Poison Pearl in his right hand started blinking continuously. He stopped his cultivation and went to search for the treasure.
Following the path, he found a little girl around 13 years laying on the grass. The surrounding plants all withered in her presence.
Approaching the little girl, Yun Che started using Sky Poison Pearl to treat the girl. He didn't know the poison inflicted on her even after going through his memories. 'Its poison is somewhat similar to Sky Poison Pearls Poison ability.' he thought.
The little girl opened her eyes and muttered "Impossible... Sky Poison Pearl."
She bit Yun Che's finger tasting his blood and dissipated into green particles.
Yun Che was dumbfounded by all the events that took place. 'System, What is she?"
[Host, The little girl's name is Xing Tong. She is at a very high level. She got poisoned with Absolute God Slaying Poison. And is currently in her spirit form.]
[New Quest Triggered: Help Jasmine get her revenge]
[Rewards received on accepting: Heavenly True God Cultivation Manual]
[Time Limit: 5 years.]
[Full Rewards will be updated in the future, Host]
[Punishment: None] as System feels System is in no place to force Host
Going through the details, Yun Che was elated. What he wanted badly was a Cultivation method.
[Do Host want to accept?
Yes/No]
"I accept the quest" said Yun Che grinning.
