Chapitre 30: Chapter 30: The Rewards Arrive, The Situation is Set
Especially the moment when she had called out Tang Hao's name.
Heavens!
Tang Yuehua felt like she had completely embarrassed herself.
It would have been better to just die.
She dared not move.
She pretended to be dead.
Zhou Yi didn't move either because his consciousness was focused on the system, checking the rewards he had received this time.
Tang Yuehua didn't have the super multiplier, so her rewards were not as abundant as Ah Yin's, but they were still quite powerful.
Reward 1: Bodhi Jade Tea (one pouch)
Reward 2: Full-Level Lingxi Finger.
Bodhi Jade Tea: Calms the mind and enhances understanding.
Lingxi Finger: A signature skill of Lu Xiaofeng. With just two fingers, one can easily intercept and stop any incoming weapon, including swords, knives, darts, and hidden weapons. It can even defend in unfavorable conditions and in situations where defense would normally be impossible.
"Both rewards are great!"
"Awesome!"
Zhou Yi was very satisfied with the rewards. The Bodhi Jade Tea could enhance his comprehension, and even if the effect wasn't vast, it was still a rare treasure.
As for the Full-Level Lingxi Finger—no need to mention it. It saved Zhou Yi from having to train or accumulate experience points; he had directly reached the perfect level.
Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger was so remarkable that even the aloof and proud Master Kuguo of Shaolin praised it, considering it an unparalleled technique never seen before.
Even the lone and proud Ximen Chuixue sometimes thought about trading his own fingers for Lu Xiaofeng's two.
Zhou Yi immediately accepted the Lingxi Finger.
His consciousness seemed to transcend time and space as it merged with a man with four eyebrows, experiencing and understanding how the man practiced the Lingxi Finger.
Days passed.
Years passed.
His understanding of Lingxi Finger deepened.
He mastered it in stages:
Entry level.
Small success.
Great success.
Perfection.
When Zhou Yi returned to his own body, he looked at his right middle and index fingers. They appeared longer, more powerful, and more agile than before.
The Lingxi Finger seemed as if he had trained in it for countless years, deeply ingrained in his bones, executed with perfect ease, a pinnacle of skill.
Zhou Yi glanced at his attribute panel.

Zhou Yi's strength was steadily increasing, and his mood was exceptionally good.
Looking at Tang Yuehua, who was pretending to be dead, Zhou Yi could empathize with her feelings.
However, he was quite irritated at the moment.
What's more, the situation was simply too wonderful.
Zhou Yi was unwilling to let it end just like this.
So, he went ahead and did it again...
Tang Yuehua felt conflicted. She hadn't expected Zhou Yi to do that again...
But soon, Tang Yuehua had no time to think about anything else.
Her consciousness gradually grew foggy.
This time, Zhou Yi was a bit surprised.
Tang Yuehua didn't call out Tang Hao's name, but his instead.
After a moment of thought, Zhou Yi understood the reason behind it.
It was impossible for Tang Yuehua to be with Tang Hao.
Even though Tang Yuehua might have some feelings that went beyond sibling love, she wouldn't dare express them openly. She could only suppress them, and in the end, they would transform into an unyielding obsession.
But during the previous encounter, Tang Yuehua had vented all her obsessions towards Tang Hao, so naturally, she no longer had any lingering feelings for him.
What mattered most was that Zhou Yi had appeared at her weakest moment like a divine hero.
Tang Yuehua was overwhelmed by Spring Poison, her spirit was at its weakest, and Zhou Yi's stunning sword—One Sword to Part the World—had shattered her spiritual consciousness, leaving behind an indelible mark.
Furthermore, the two had also developed a relationship.
Naturally, Zhou Yi had replaced Tang Hao's position deep in Tang Yuehua's heart.
Once Zhou Yi understood this, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of accomplishment.
Little Haozi,
Your wife is quite smooth.
Little Haozi,
Your sister is quite smooth.
As the sun rose and set.
Zhou Yi was fully satisfied as he gazed at Tang Yuehua, whose eyes were tightly shut, her long, curled lashes fluttering ever so slightly. He kissed her flushed cheek and spoke softly:
"Yuehua, don't worry. Although this was an accident, I won't abandon you. Once we return, I'll ask Haotian Sect for your hand in marriage. Will you marry me?"
He had always dreamed of a large, prosperous family, and a woman like Tang Yuehua was not someone to let slip by.
Like Han Xin deploying his soldiers... the more, the better!
Tang Yuehua's body trembled slightly.
She remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.
After all, it was their first meeting today.
The most embarrassing part was that she had previously called out Tang Hao's name, and Zhou Yi had heard it. Although she had quickly corrected herself and addressed him as Zhou Yi after that, how could she face him now?
Zhou Yi, with a teasing smile: "It's okay if you don't feel ready. We don't have to rush. Whenever you're prepared, we can talk about this again."
He didn't push her further.
After all, he had already thoroughly enjoyed the moment.
Could she really run away now? Besides, the situation had been far too sudden.
First, she had been abducted by a flower thief, then Zhou Yi had rescued her, and then… things had happened.
It was only natural that she wasn't mentally prepared.
After a long while, Tang Yuehua finally let out a soft "Mm" in response, letting out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
She was completely confused inside.
She had no idea what to do.
"I know you were poisoned earlier. I couldn't help myself, but I hope I didn't hurt you?" Zhou Yi asked, gently rubbing her injury.
"No... it's fine, no need..." Tang Yuehua's voice trembled as she spoke. "The... the sky is getting late. My elder brother and the others must be worried!"
"It's almost dawn," Zhou Yi replied, applying some medicine to her wounds. He then helped her get dressed and led her back to Notting City.
The cold wind blew against their faces.
Tang Yuehua's flushed face gradually faded, and the pain in her wound seemed to have subsided under Zhou Yi's healing medicine. She gradually regained her usual cold, aloof demeanor.
Yet, there was an indescribable air of maturity about her now, which only made her even more charming.
"Look!" someone exclaimed.
"It's Mr. Zhou, and Miss Tang!"
"Mr. Zhou really rescued Miss Tang!"
"My heavens, Mr. Zhou is incredible! He really brought Miss Tang back!"
In Notting City, the soldiers stationed at the gates noticed Zhou Yi and Tang Yuehua and erupted into loud exclamations. The news quickly spread throughout the city.
Zhou Yi had saved Tang Yuehua.
Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Qi rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.
"Yuehua, are you alright?" Tang Xiao and Tang Hao hurried over, concerned. At first glance, it seemed Tang Yuehua was unharmed, but beneath the surface…
"I'm fine, all thanks to Mr. Zhou's rescue!" Tang Yuehua replied.
"Brother Zhou, we can never thank you enough! Words can't express our gratitude, please allow me to bow in thanks!" Tang Xiao and Tang Hao said, filled with gratitude.
The whole night, they had searched for Tang Yuehua in vain, feeling as though they were being tortured by worry. But fortunately, the heavens had protected her.
She had finally returned safely.
"Xiao and Hao brothers, you flatter me," Zhou Yi quickly said as he helped them up. "I was just lucky enough to follow Miss Tang's trail and rescue her before she fell into the hands of those vile men."
Zhou Yi quickly explained, "We got lost after the rescue and couldn't make it back until dawn."
This explanation made sense of their absence that night, preventing others from jumping to the conclusion that Tang Yuehua had fallen into the hands of the scoundrels.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao expressed their endless gratitude and insisted on throwing a feast in Zhou Yi's honor, promising that Zhou Yi would always be a brother to them and the Clear Sky Clan. Should he ever have any requests in the future, they would not hesitate to fulfill them, even at the cost of their lives.
Zhou Yi felt somewhat embarrassed by their overwhelming gratitude.
Tang Yuehua was so enchanting, and yet they were so enthusiastic…
"Zhou Yi really did save Tang Yuehua!"
Standing beside Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo gazed at the group and sighed, "The Holy Maiden really has remarkable foresight!"
Yet, in his heart, he felt even more astonished:
"Zhou Yi previously gained the friendship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by recruiting Sword Douluo. Now, by saving Tang Yuehua, he's earned Clear Sky Clan's favor…"
"Truly, terrifyingly impressive!"
"It's already a done deal!"
