Because of experiencing things in her youth that others hadn’t, there came to be a Rose Empress who fought battles far and wide.
The Eternal Sect disciples were the opposite.
They hadn’t experienced fighting desperately for food during trials. Before and after encountering martial arts, they were fortunate to join the Eternal Sect, enjoying various martial resources and even becoming a family.
Hua Meigui was envious, but also knew that if they remained forever under her husband’s protection, they would ultimately just be children who hadn’t experienced wind and rain, ultimately not daring to spread their wings alone and soar through the heavens.
How could Jun Changxiao not understand this woman’s intentions?
But my Eternal Sect won’t be like your Soul Clan, where to become strong or even cruel, you must undergo inhuman trials.
It wasn’t that Dog Sheng was too indulgent with disciples—it was that changing perspectives could achieve the same result. For example, the Life-Death Secret Realm—though failure wouldn’t cause death, that training experience could still achieve the effect.
Moreover.
That woman’s true intention was to make him understand that to survive in a cruel world, everyone must work hard.
“Pass on the order.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Outer sect disciples must complete ten low-star missions, inner sect disciples must complete five medium-star missions, core disciples must complete one high-star mission.”
“Yes!”
Elder Ge, in charge of the Mission Pavilion, immediately got to work.
After the news spread throughout the sect, disciples’ missions would run throughout their entire martial careers.
Previously, it was essentially Jun Changxiao alone carrying the sect. When they threw themselves wholeheartedly into sect missions, it meant everyone carried the sect together.
Dog Sheng was no longer alone.
Behind him stood a hundred thousand disciples.
“Pity.”
The system mocked: “Host doesn’t have higher Life-Death Secret Realms to let disciples experience crueler trials.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao said indifferently: “As long as they can complete sect missions on time, accumulated over time they’ll gain more contribution points. What won’t they be able to get? What won’t they be able to buy?”
“Heh.”
The system said: “Your wife really opened your mind.”
Mentioning Hua Meigui, Dog Sheng thought again of the childhood memories he’d seen, wondering: “Is this her childhood trauma?”
“If this is childhood trauma, as her husband, shouldn’t you compensate for the shadow in her heart and give her a brighter, better future?” the system said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell silent.
“Don’t go further down the scumbag path. Men should have responsibility.” The system said again.
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao said: “You think you’re Old Wei?”
…
Night.
Hua Meigui leaned by the window, gazing at the brilliant starry sky, her thoughts returning to memories of her youth training in that dark place.
Jun Changxiao had only seen a small part, not even knowing that those youths competing for food actually came from the same clan system—many had blood relations.
For survival, they had to kill each other.
The next day.
After washing up, Hua Meigui pushed open the door, only to see a bouquet of roses placed at her feet. Her expression immediately showed astonishment.
“What does this mean?” she looked up.
Lying on the side room roof, Jun Changxiao said lazily: “I saw when you were training in your youth, you used your body to protect a rose growing in a stone crevice. Figured you must really like them, so… just showing my consideration, no other meaning.”
“You even noticed such a small detail?” Hua Meigui smiled.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao jumped down from the roof, then with hands in his pockets, walked away with an arrogant gait.
“Jun Changxiao!”
Hua Meigui called out: “You’re the Sect Master after all—giving just one is too stingy!”
“Tch.”
Jun Changxiao curled his lip: “Did you expect me to plant an entire courtyard of roses for you?”
“That works too.”
“Dream on!”
That day, Sun Bukong led his team searching all through the Medical Hall, but after searching for ages couldn’t find any rose seeds. In the end, they could only ask the Fine Rain Hall people to go buy some outside.
…
Because the Sect Master had issued orders, disciples became more active in doing missions, so every day people received and completed tasks.
Many hands make light work.
Contribution and achievement points slowly accumulated.
“Ding! The Medical Hall successfully cultivated five million Purple Phoenix Jasper Jade Grass, completing the hall-specific mission. Gained 1000 contribution points, 1000 achievement points, 100 reputation points.”
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao exclaimed in surprise: “The rewards are high!”
High was high, but hall-specific missions appearing on the mission board were limited, destined to be difficult to do daily.
However, recently in one month, disciples had completed quite a few missions—almost everyone had done some. Calculating the obtained contribution and achievement points carefully, it came to about one million!
“One million per month, ten million per year…” Jun Changxiao counted on his fingers, nearly fainting from happiness.
The system collapsed: “Why do I always feel Host has problems with math!”
…
“Creak.”
Two months later, Hua Meigui pushed open the door. The roses planted all around were in full bloom. A gentle breeze brought fragrant flowers, truly intoxicating.
She loved this plant, so he planted an entire courtyard full.
What was this?
Right, typical extravagance and waste!
Fortunately, Young Master Yuan was running a pill shop in Lin Yuan City, otherwise he would definitely record heavily in the accounts: Sect Master spared no expense in manpower and resources to win his wife’s favor!
Standing at the courtyard entrance, Jun Changxiao said: “Satisfied now?”
Hua Meigui said: “Why are you suddenly so good to me?”
“Because you’re a member of the Eternal Sect. As Sect Master, I must give you a brilliant future. This is called responsibility, called commitment.” Jun Changxiao said.
“…”
The system collapsed: “Some words coming from his mouth sound so awkward.”
“Pfft!”
Hua Meigui covered her mouth and laughed: “How childish.”
Damn!
Sparing no expense using nourishing soil, having Peggy help, planting an entire courtyard of roses for you, and you call it childish—what ingratitude!
“But…”
Hua Meigui walked over, smiling: “I really like it.”
She was a head shorter than Jun Changxiao, appearing quite petite standing before him.
“Can I hug you?”
“Ding! Epic mission completed, entering settlement period.”
“Ding! High-level sect members and disciples completed designated sect missions within three months, meeting defined conditions. Epic mission completed with 500% completion rate. Host gains 2 million contribution points.”
“Ding! Sect contribution points: 5,640,000.”
“Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing upper realm version Epic Mission Three. Obtained High-Grade Life-Death Secret Realm purchase right ×1, Eight Desolations Heavenly Sound four-piece set purchase right ×1, sect function upgrade ×1, Difficult to Receive Blade modification stone ×1.”
A series of notification sounds rang in his ears. Jun Changxiao froze in place.
The epic mission had reached targets a month ago, but disciples and various halls kept doing them, so the hidden completion rate kept rising. The final settlement reached an astonishing 500%—absolutely creating a new record for epic missions!
But…
History Two at 200% completion gave one million, History Three at 500% completion only gives two million!
The system explained: “There must be numerical limits in this aspect to prevent Host from exploiting bugs to farm points like crazy.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s face collapsed.
Wait!
Why is Hua Meigui leaning in my arms!
Taking advantage while I was distracted to make a move on me!
Jun Changxiao was about to push her away when suddenly a primordial force erupted within his body. The two energy cores in his dantian rapidly underwent tremendous changes. Endless power enveloped his entire body, making him feel somewhat euphoric.
“Ding! Host successfully broke through to Four-Revolution Core Formation Realm!”
“Ding! Host successfully broke through to Five-Revolution Core Formation Realm!”
“Ding! Host successfully broke through to Six-Revolution Core Formation Realm!”
“Holy crap!”
Readers present shouted in unison: “That jinx from the system earlier—the dose was really huge!”
