Chapter 6 – What?? There's a monthly card?!
Azure Cloud Sect, Crimson Sky Peak.
Mu Baishuang, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes, sensing something amiss.
"Strange, how has my senior sister's aura stabilized?" She took out a pitch-black tortoise shell and two copper coins from her storage ring, calculating for a long time without any result.
According to her plan, Li Qingran, with both internal and external injuries, her spiritual root and cultivation level ruined, and afflicted by fire poison, should not survive more than half a month. Moreover, with demonic beasts rampant in Evergreen Mountain, any encounter with a slightly powerful beast would spell her death. Once Li Qingran died, the Taiyin Dao Physique would be hers.
"Where did it go wrong?"
Mu Baishuang frowned, only able to deduce that Li Qingran was still in the broken thatched hut without moving, knowing nothing else.
This was the only somewhat comforting fact.
"Sister Baishuang, are you there?" A raspy voice echoed from outside the cave dwelling.
Mu Baishuang's frown deepened, her face full of disdain.
It was that noisy Zhang Hanxiao again.

This guy came to her cave dwelling at least a dozen times a day!
If it weren't for maintaining the image of a cute Sixth Junior Sister, and for the item Zhang Hanxiao possessed, she would have turned hostile long ago.
A good-for-nothing who idled around all day dreaming of becoming her cultivation companion?
But Zhang Hanxiao was still somewhat useful.
Mu Baishuang's eyes twinkled, immediately coming up with a plan, a standard sweet smile of a Sixth Junior Sister appearing on her face as she went out to greet him.
"Brother Hanxiao~"
The sweet, syrupy call almost made Zhang Hanxiao's body go numb.
"Brother Hanxiao, is there something you need?" Mu Baishuang stood in front of Zhang Hanxiao, tilting her head slightly, her plain clothes as white as snow, hands clasped in front of her abdomen, her long hair gently swaying in the breeze, her eyes clear like a budding white lotus.
"Ah, ahaha! It's nothing major." Zhang Hanxiao stared straight at Mu Baishuang's face, swallowing hard, hurriedly handing over the item in his hand, stammering, "Half a month ago, during your duel with Li Qingran, didn't your Frost Moon Sword break? I've been taking on sect missions non-stop and earned some money to buy you a good sword, named Autumn Glory, better than Frost Moon."
He lied; this sword was actually a birthday gift from Li Qingran.
He had indeed taken on many sect missions recently, but also caused a lot of trouble, earning not enough to cover his debts.
Previously, Li Qingran always helped him pay, but now he had to handle it himself.
But to develop a relationship with the Sixth Junior Sister, he needed some small gifts for flirting, so he decided to give away the Autumn Glory Sword.
Due to his frail body, he usually went to bed around eight or nine in the evening, not waking even if the sky fell.
But today, to ensure he woke up, he set his phone to vibrate, sleeping with his face on it.
The alarm was set to ring every minute, determined to wake him up.
The reason for waking at this hour was simple: to check on his virtual girlfriend.
Opening the game, he saw the advanced Gathering Spirit Array's effect had ended, ten spirit crystals shattered into dust, the array banner dimmed, but Li Qingran, still in breath regulation at the array's center, looked radiant.
Chen Huaian gently tapped Li Qingran's forehead:
[Status: Breath Regulation]
[Cultivation Progress: 327/499 (Second Layer)]
"Wow, already at the second layer of Qi Refining? Almost at the third! This money was well spent!"
Chen Huaian shook his head, feeling like a parent who bought study materials for his daughter, only to see her grades soar.
Before he could savor the moment, two pay-to-win notifications slapped him in the face:

***
Chen Huaian's smile froze.
Chen Huaian stared at his phone in silence.
Chen Huaian's hand trembled slightly.
Chen Huaian wanted to call the police!
