Her voice was filled with excitent.
Su Mo froze completely.
His brain took several seconds to catch up with what had just happened.
"...Miss Yang?"
He awkwardly raised his hands, unsure where to put them.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Inside his mind, however, thoughts were already racing.
[Did she suddenly fall in love with ?]
[When did that happen?]
[This morning there were no signs at all...]
Then another thought struck him.
[Wait... could it be...]
[Did she awaken mories of the future?]
[Maybe in the future we’re already a couple. We went from hunting protagonists together to falling in love and having children...]
[Maybe we even achieve immortality together...]
His imagination ran even further.
[If Miss Yang—No! If Baby Qingxi becos my main wife...]
[Then what about my dream?]
[My harem of a thousand beauties...]
[Surely, I’ve already achieved that by then, right?]
Yang Qingxi’s excitent instantly cooled down when she heard his thoughts.
Her face went blank.
’Harem of a thousand beauties?’
’Ptui.’ She spat inwardly.
Then quickly let go of him and stepped back.
Su Mo, who had been wearing an awkward but polite smile the entire ti, looked completely confused.
[What now?]
[Did her other personality suddenly appear again?]
[I was just starting to enjoy that hug. Baby Qingxi’s body is surprisingly soft...]
Yang Qingxi’s cheeks turned faintly red.
To hide her embarrassnt, she coughed lightly.
"Sorry about that," she said. "I got a little carried away."
Su Mo still looked slightly disappointed, though he tried to hide it.
"It’s alright," he said. "But what exactly made you react like that?"
Yang Qingxi didn’t answer directly.
Instead, she crossed her arms and looked at him seriously.
"How did you et Little i?"
"Tell everything."
Although confused by the sudden change of topic, Su Mo explained the entire situation, from discovering the warehouse base to rescuing Li i.
Yang Qingxi listened quietly.
When he finished, she leaned back thoughtfully.
"So... you saved her, and your instincts told you sothing unusual about her," she said slowly.
"And because of that feeling, you decided to adopt her?"
Su Mo shrugged.
"Sothing like that."
"Though I’m not completely sure. It might just be a coincidence."
Yang Qingxi shook her head.
"No."
"Your instincts were correct."
Su Mo looked at her curiously.
"What do you an?"
Yang Qingxi smiled mysteriously.
"When you introduced Li i earlier, my system triggered a notification."
"She’s connected to a future destiny protagonist."
"Because of your adoption..."
She raised three fingers dramatically.
"... I just gained thirty thousand luck points."
Then she burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"I’m rich!"
Su Mo stared at her, speechless. Who would have expected the rich heiress of the Yang Consortium to act like a poor money-grubber one day?
After a mont, he sighed.
"No wonder your attitude toward her was so different."
"It was almost flattering."
Yang Qingxi stopped laughing and stared at him with deadpan eyes.
"Of course, because I’m happy."
"The benefits she brought just by stepping into this house are six tis greater than everything we got from Ye Chen."
She clicked her tongue.
"Honestly, it’s even equal to the total luck value Lin Fan could ever provide."
"Yeah, yeah," Su Mo waved his hand dismissively.
"So what now?"
"Planning to raise your cultivation again?"
Yang Qingxi answered without hesitation.
"Obviously."
"Only my own strength can give real security."
Su Mo nodded.
"Fair enough."
Then his expression beca thoughtful.
"But the real question is..."
"Who exactly is the protagonist connected to Little i?"
"A person worth thirty thousand luck points can’t be ordinary."
Yang Qingxi’s expression also beca serious.
"To unlock the basic information, the protagonist must be nearby."
"I guess that they must be sowhere in the range of a city. Since the system hasn’t triggered, the Protagonist is unlikely to be in Jiangnan."
Su Mo nodded slowly.
"If I hadn’t rescued her today, she would have been shipped overseas."
"That ans the protagonist might have t her abroad."
Yang Qingxi sighed.
"That’s still too broad."
"We can’t search blindly."
Su Mo thought for a mont.
"I’ll investigate where the traffickers might have planned to ship her."
"Once we know the destination, we might narrow down the possibilities."
Yang Qingxi nodded.
"That might work."
Then she looked upstairs thoughtfully.
"But there’s another question."
"Why is Li i so important to that protagonist?"
"Three thousand luck points isn’t a small amount."
Su Mo fell silent.
"Little i definitely has secrets."
"We’ll uncover them slowly."
Yang Qingxi suddenly tilted her head.
"Don’t you think the na Li i sounds familiar?"
Su Mo paused.
Then he shook his head.
"Let’s not overthink it."
"That figure from Li Wei’s mories existed centuries ago."
"It’s probably just a coincidence."
With that, he turned and walked toward the staircase.
"I’m going back to my room."
"See you later."
Yang Qingxi watched his back disappear upstairs.
After a mont, she shook her head and stood up as well.
She couldn’t wait to use those thirty thousand points to increase her cultivation.
As she walked toward her own room, a thought quietly appeared in her mind.
’Whatever Li i really is...’
’For , she’s just my little lucky angel.’
She paused briefly.
Then another idea surfaced.
’Actually... maybe I should adopt her instead of Su Mo.’
After all, the adoption paperwork hadn’t been finalised yet.
Yang Qingxi smiled to herself as she continued upstairs.
"System, all my points to increase my cultivation level."
[Ding!]
[Qi Condensation (Level 4): 4000 Luck Points]
[Qi Condensation (Level 5): 5000 Luck Points]
...
[Qi Condensation (Level 8): 8000 Luck Points]
She felt the spiritual energy being poured as if a dam were bursting inside her body. From Qi Condensation (Level 3), it kept increasing until finally stopping at Level 8. Using exactly 30,000 luck points.
Yeah, before it could even warm up her pocket. She had already used them.
Excited by the power-up. Yang Qingxi imdiately called up her status panel in the system.
[Ding!]
[Na: Yang Qingxi]
[Age: 24]
[Cultivation: Qi Condensation (Level 8)]
[Affinity: None]
[Special Abilities: None]
[Special Techniques: None]
[Techniques: Wall Walking Technique (E)]
[Luck Points: 960]
***
"I’ve beco so strong." Yang Qingxi showed a satisfied smile.
But when her eyes fell on Affinity, she froze. ’Oh no. I forgot.’
