Ch. 23 - Dragon King Water Spray

Su Yan stared at the three options, dumbfounded. This was absurd.

Cultivator weapons came in three tiers: artifacts, spiritual weapons, and treasures.

Treasures—stuff only Spirit Transformation cultivators could wield—were legends to regular cultivators, a once-in-a-lifetime sight. Yet here the system was, tossing them out like candy.

“This can’t be right. Options one and two are the easy ones—why such crazy rewards? You messed up, didn’t you?”

Su Yan muttered inwardly.

[The system has zero bugs. Host, rest assured.]

Hearing that, Su Yan grew even more confused.

A flower thief had broken into his room, ready to pin him down, but the system’s options flipped the script entirely.

“Seduction gets insane rewards….what’s going on?”

Just lie back and let it happen—simple as that. Why such hefty prizes?

“Something’s off. Definitely off!”

Su Yan’s mind raced. If the system wasn’t glitching, then in its judgment, getting it on with this woman was near-impossible—practically a no-go.

“She doesn’t want me? Then why’s she here?”

Su Yan was baffled, but the woman was losing patience, her face souring.

“No answer yet? Stalling for time? If you don’t pick soon, I’ll take over.”

Su Yan froze as she raised a hand, unleashing a red rope. It moved like it was alive, snapping tight around his wrists, binding them behind him. He toppled onto the bed.

“What are you doing?!”

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

“Doing? Tying you up, obviously. Your shifty eyes scream escape. I’m not letting you go. This red rope’s a spiritual weapon. You’re not breaking free.”

Fairy Qingxuan grinned. “Now, your choice, or I start moving.”

Su Yan’s panic spiked. Was she loaded or what? Using a spiritual weapon to tie him up? And the system wasn’t wrong. She didn’t want that?

“I pick three.”

He trusted the system in the end. If the rewards for seduction were near-impossible, he was safe for now.

Might as well grab a skill point instead of sitting there.

[Task complete. Reward issued.]

[Random spell upgrade: Dragon King Water Spray, Level +1.]

The system beeped in Su Yan’s ear. His heart jumped—his only attack spell just got stronger. Perfect timing!

He focused his energy.

Qingxuan felt the change in the air and raised an eyebrow.

A soft-looking boy daring to fight back against a woman? Wasn’t he scared she’d get angry and force herself on him?

“So naive!”

She didn’t move. The energy waves told her it was a weak spell, too weak to break her defense.

Sure enough, a small jet of water, as thin as a thumb, shot toward her face.

She almost laughed.

This? Seriously?

A tiny splash of water? Men were really—

“Gahhh!!”

Her laugh stopped instantly.

A loud cracking sound filled the room as the water jet broke through her defense and hit her face.

“Cough, cough!!”

Qingxuan choked and spat out water. Her dress was soaked, sticking tightly to her body in a way that looked... inappropriate.

“You little! How dare you?!”

Her face turned red with anger and embarrassment.

Never in her life had she been humiliated like this—blasted in the face by a weak disciple.

“What kind of spell is this?!” she snapped.

She was furious, but more than that, she was shocked.

As a top-level cultivator, her defense was strong enough to block attacks from powerful fighters. Yet, a simple water jet from a weak boy broke through it? How?

Su Yan didn’t realize how strong she was. He thought she was just mad because she got splashed.

“It’s just a little trick I made.”

He sighed. He had hoped the system upgrade would make his spell stronger, but no, it was still just a weak water jet.

She wasn’t hurt, just angry. Now what?

Qingxuan’s mind spun at his words.

A self-made spell?

No wonder she had never seen it before—he invented it himself.

Her opinion of Su Yan changed. She had thought he was just another pretty boy in the sect, but she had been wrong.

Yes, all spells were created by humans, but only by the greatest cultivators in history. For Su Yan to create one at his level? Unbelievable.

“This boy has limitless potential!

Qingxuan’s eyes shone as she studied him.

She thought of Bai Shuixin, her old rival. That woman only cared about training female disciples, ignoring the potential of men. Su Yan was probably being overlooked, despite his talent.

“That woman won’t teach him properly—what a waste.” 

She had come here to find a man for her disciple, but now she had a better idea.

Men were usually a distraction in cultivation, but a genius like Su Yan? He was an exception.

If she took him as her own disciple…

“With his Senior and Junior Sisters around, it’d be the perfect training environment.”

He had fought back against a strong woman without fear. That proved his courage. A bold kid like him was the perfect match for her disciple.

“You passed. Come with me.”

Passed? Passed what?

Su Yan blinked in confusion.

“You’ll see.”

Before he could react, Qingxuan picked him up and threw him over her shoulder.

Su Yan panicked.

She wasn’t just messing with him—she was kidnapping him?! Was he done for?

Horrible thoughts rushed through his mind—dragged away, forced to obey, drained of all his strength…

He struggled hard.

“Stop moving.”

Qingxuan tapped his body with one finger, and suddenly, all his strength vanished.

Just as she was about to leave, footsteps echoed outside.
