Chapter 108: Sure Enough, Problematic Situations Should Be Left to the Host
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

President Zhao sprung up as soon as he heard his wife and said anxiously, "Is something bad going to happen?"

Madam Zhao was tracing the sensation vigilantly and suddenly brightened up, she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, with my Dragon Princess ancestral instinct, I didn't feel any danger from it, but I am a little excited, it seems an opportunity awaits on my path of cultivation!"

President Zhao heard it, but his face paled even more.

He started touching his own bespeckled face and bulging belly, before turning toward his wife's face that looked like she was in her thirties and started to feel pressured.

He thought, 'Lately, she was getting so obsessed with cultivation, leaving a lot of household affairs behind except to eat at future son-in-law's place.

'Most of the time, the housemaids don't even see her.

'It was only at the end of the year that she appeared as their mistress.

'And now that she's getting an opportunity, what if she was to abandon her family to cultivate...'

Madam Zhao did not know her husband had started overthinking. As soon as she finished talking, she stopped in her place as if she ran into something.

At that instant, she looked like she discovered something as she whipped her head toward the floor-to-ceiling windows. There were only a few flower pots and nothing out of ordinary.

"Hey, did you see any hint of bright white light just now?"

"I wasn't aware..." President Zhao answered absentmindedly, but his face changed as he finished his sentence. He charged to his wife's side and stretched his arms wide to block one direction, "No, I see it! Run..."

Madam Zhao glanced over at President Zhao's direction and saw a thin white line appearing near the window on the other side. President Zhao could not stop it as it swished past him and headed for her...

"My dear, go now, and bring Yao Yao along, I will stall this thing!" President Zhao yelled, but Madam Zhao immediately slapped him aside.

"Stall your *ss! This is my opportunity! Get out of my way!" Madam Zhao was not the least bit appreciative, in fact, she pushed her husband aside out of excitement.

President Zhao felt a force came from his wife and spun around uncontrollably, landing ungracefully on the couch. He looked at his wife with an injured gaze.

Madam Zhao took on the white light head-on with her eyes almost sparkling, they looked just like the time she saw Fang Ning's roasted whole lamb.

The white light surged into Madam Zhao's torso continuously. She closed her eyes, and her expression turned from excitement to calm, to dignified, and settled on saintly.

Looking at her changes in facial expression, President Zhao was slightly wary.

He asked cautiously, "My dear, what exactly is the opportunity? Why does it feel like you're more excited than having Xiao Fang's feast?"

"Shut up, stop disturbing my enlightening process..."

Madam Zhao kept her eyes closed and spoke minimally.

President Zhao shut up. He did not want to bother his wife, but he could not help but be perplexed.

The non-human hidden outside the window was also perplexed at the exact same time.

'That's not right. In both the times that lazy host could trigger the hidden settings and earn Unique Heroic Achievements, the principles had mentioned something like 'The Host has completed Obsession: XX' or something like that.'

'However mysterious the two Obsessions look like, it's the same thing at the end of the day. They are either 'repaying a deed' or 'quid pro quo'.'

'Supposedly, it was all because this snake demon initiated the host with Dragonization Ability that I could theorize the complete version of it and advanced quickly to the current stage.'

'The host has said that she might have ulterior motives at the time, but it still counts as a huge favor to the host.'

'Now that she's also an ally determined by the Friendliness Attribute principle, I could be considered as repaying the host's debt of gratitude by gifting her the Bodhisattva Spirit King's power.'

'Why is the hidden setting still not triggered? Come on, complete another Obsession, activate another heroic achievement...?'

'Is it possible that the host was lying about being grateful to his snake demon master?'

'Nah, the host is lazy, but he definitely is grateful. When we were hunting down the nightmare demon, he even asked to not let President Zhao be hungry.'

'Maybe the principles felt my effort was not enough, let me try increasing the intensity...'

Sir System internally monologized for a while before he controlled Vigilante A to intensify the white light toward the snake demon.

President Zhao was stunned silent, the white light was rapidly increasing in width, and grew into a pillar as think as a bowl! 'This is too surreal, will she be okay?'

When he saw his wife's divine expression, he dared not interrupt.

***************

That's right, the System who had always been efficient had stolen Fang Ning's body when he was sleeping to conduct this experiment--it wanted to see if helping the host repay favors would trigger another heroic achievement.

This was because the recently-obtained legendary skill was too precious, to Sir System, no matter how many bosses it killed, none could compare to it.

Fang Ning had only thought of using it to save his idiot teammates, but the System had thought of its combat applications. One can utilize that skill in many different situations.

This was not because Fang Ning had lower intelligence than Sir System, it was only because both of them had different intentions. To the System, the priority was to train, cultivate, and advancement, everything else would need to have that as an end goal, so whenever something good happened, it will start to think about using it to cultivate or to farm monsters.

Time passed quickly. Seeing half of the power inside the Element Replenishment Sarira pearl was spent without any system notifications, the System was disappointed. Unless it gifted the Sarira pearl or something better to Madam Zhao, this is the maximum intensity it could repay with...

Impossible... It was one thing to utilize a power source that has yet to be needed to invest in the future, but it's another to give away an object that could help immensely in the future.

With regards to the techniques and abilities it had at the moment, Sir System did not even consider giving them up. If not necessary, it would not risk exposing its own secrets by teaching other people its techniques.

Up to this point, it had only given an inconsequential martial arts technique to Qi Yan. The rest were its followers who can help bolster their strength.

The System has decided to give up in the end, 'I shall wait for the host to regain consciousness and throw this mess back at him...'

Vigilante A sneaked away from the roof of the Zhao manor, leaving behind an excited Madam Zhao and her very confused husband.

Madam Zhao who had just absorbed the power that appeared out of thin air looked angelic, it was as if she almost became a Bodhisattva herself. President Zhao was most worried about that.

"Muahaha hahaha! I can't believe I could have this sort of encounters just sitting at home!" Madam Zhao suddenly stood, arms akimbo, and laughed without any consideration of her noblewoman status. "It turns out the novels Xiao Fang always reads was not completely a sham, some of them actually do happen in real life!"

A familiar tone of voice! A familiar behavior! President Zhao finally sighed a breath of relief when he saw his wife behaving like usual. With such an attitude, she would not be a Bodhisattva any time soon...

After expressing herself, Madam Zhao saw her husband staring at her and realized she might have forgotten herself.

"Ahem," she sighed. "What did you see just now, Mr. Zhao?"

President Zhao blurted out, "I saw nothing. Not only that, I heard nothing."

Madam Zhao was satisfied with the answer, "So do you know what happened just now?"

President Zhao thought, 'How would I know what happened? I think you might be close to deviatory psychosis?'

Naturally, he did not say that. Instead, he pulled his words out of his behind, "My dear, you have always been kind and virtuous, and you were diligent in meat-abstinence and worship practices. When the white light surged into you, you looked divine, could it be that Bodhisattva bestowed you with some help with your cultivation?"

Madam Zhao was surprised to hear that from her husband. She stared at him for a while and finally said, "Well, well, old man. Even though your talent for cultivation is close to none, you knew quite a bit. The money we spent on buying that information was not wasted after all. This encounter does have something to do with Bodhisattva. I, Liu Ruzhi, am finally able to cultivate into Bai Su- I mean, to cultivate and achieve Nirvana 1 ."

President Zhao said, "I thought I heard a familiar name..."

"You heard it wrong, forget everything you've heard," Madam Zhao waved her arm in dismissal and maintained a serious face. "I should like to check up on our daughter and share with her this gift from Bodhisattva. Old man, you cannot cultivate, so we can talk about this once I understood what all these meant."

President Zhao said, "I know, but don't exhaust yourself. My dear, you don't need to take on the responsibility of the whole family's safety. Xiao Fang is strong, look, even the True Dragon could only eat his food, so with this connection, we'll be backed up by him as well. When I was saved the other time, it was all because of Xiao Fang, I didn't say it then to avoid the Truth Department from investigating him. You know, that kid could never stand that sort of trouble."

Madam Zhao sighed and said, "I was so worried! You're right, it was all thanks to Xiao Fang that we get such a good support. He is very capable. I used to think he's a Celestial Dragon Form, but apparently, he's a True Dragon in physical form, from what we have gathered recently. It's a shame, even if we are of the same race, he's from another world. The relationship might be just a tad too far, or else we could pay Vigilante A a visit directly..."

"Now that the situation is constantly changing, it's better to be strong ourselves. After all, if something happened in a blink of an eye, not even a True Dragon would be able to get here instantly. I still need to cultivate. At least if something happens, I need to be able to persist until he arrives."

President Zhao was so moved by his wife's speech, he grabbed her by her shoulder, "My dear, you've been working hard. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the ingredients in a bit, I will cook for you myself."

Madam Zhao rolled her eyes, "Forget about it. Don't waste the good stuff. Let's ask Xiao Fang to cook them tomorrow."

President Zhao said helplessly, "Our invitation to Xiao Fang was for him to be a guest, or else he'd be lonely back home. What logic is it to ask our guest to cook for us?"

Madam Zhao shot him a glare, "What? I am his master and future mother-in-law. I even planned to share with him the gift from Bodhisattva tomorrow. I have already considered him to be part of our family, so what's wrong with asking him to help cook some dishes?"

President Zhao sighed, "Xiao Fang is a pure kid. You have made him work so much every time you went there to eat. Let him rest for once."

Madam Zhao said in defeat, "Fine, if you put it that way... You'll cook tomorrow then, I wonder if our baby girl would eat your food?"

President Zhao shook his head, "It's impossible that she won't. Yao Yao loves my cooking the most."
