Chapter 7: First Mission
And the beauty of this world is made up of various things which may be the beautiful scenery of nature, the beautiful scenery of the Starry Sky, and so on.
Among those etcetera, the beautiful landscape that represents a beautiful woman is the one that attracts him the most. Because, in his eyes, it is the greatest work of art that the world has.
That's why, despite having seen more beautiful women than this one in front of him, he still had to be surprised and praise the beauty of this beautiful woman.
Although she didn't have the air of maturity that Tang Yin always likes, but she was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
Although she was a little dirty from running away from this thing for so long, that could not hide her beauty.
When the woman saw it, she was also surprised. Although Tang Yin was wearing rags that covered part of his face just by looking at the top of it, she could tell that he had a perfect face.
She had never seen such a beautiful man in her life. That amazed her, moreover, something else that amazed her was that she couldn't sense cultivation coming from Tang Yin, 'Is he a normal person? Impossible, he could kill a Lion like that, in just a second! He must be a great cultivator!' She thought with surprise.
Tang Yin then approached her.
--"It's nice to meet you, miss, would you mind getting up? Sitting like this on that dirty floor is not a good idea, there might be a snake nearby." Tang Yin said.
She then looked down and realized that she had fallen to the ground from exhaustion just at the moment she saw the dead lion, that's why she quickly apologized and got up.
--"Oh, I'm sorry, Young Master. Nice to meet you, my name is Huang Feifei, may I ask your name?" She said with a smile as she extended her hand.
Tang Yin then nodded to her and also reached out to grasp her hand.
--"It's nice to meet you, Miss Huang, my name is Tang Yin." Tang Yin said. He could see that this young lady was at the Ninth Level of the First Cultivation Realm, the Body Spiritual Strengthening Realm. She wasn't strong, but she should be able to kill this lion, he couldn't explain why she was running.
But, just at that moment, he was surprised because a system message with statistics appeared.

[Good luck, Host.]
This first tab that appeared from the system stunned him when he finished reading it.
What the hell was the system thinking? He thought in shock as he read the mission.
He always thought that the fact that the system was not specific about the type of mission it would give him would lead it to give strange missions and it would give them when it felt like it, but he was not expecting this type of mission.
But even more, he was surprised by the rewards.
'I don't know how much 200,000 coins is, but, Spirit Weapon and alchemy recipe? Come on, it works for me!' Tang Yin thought with a smile when he read the first part, but when he read the rewards for making her a member of his Harem, he was a little surprised at the first reward.
'Does this thing really have Spirit Calling Tokens?' he thought in amazement.
This is a token that allows its holder to summon someone's battle spirit, no matter where they are. It is a Token with two ends, one is held by the 'Summoner' and the other by the one to be summoned.
Once the 'Summoner' uses his blood to activate the Token, the summoned will receive an alert to send his battle spirit to that location via the token and will be able to communicate with the summoner or defend him in case he is in danger. It usually serves as a defense or to alert that you are in danger or something similar practically, is a connection-token.
But not everything is rosy with this object.
The truth is that it is dangerous to use this token because if the summoned person is fighting at that moment, he could end up dying since the token will pull him to take him to the summoner and will force him to put his body in a state of cultivation. Tang Yin began to seriously consider this mission. But he soon thought of something, and his mood visibly declined.
For a moment he had forgotten that he could no longer show his face.
If it was just to get her to join his harem, his knowledge, and beauty should be enough. I didn't want to go around thinking about having some kind of sentimental relationship in this place because those things could be chains. But now, apparently, fate was forcing him to have it.
Because now that he was hurt, the only way to make someone agree to be with him, was that person falling in love with him.
In the end, Tang Yin let out a mental sigh, 'No use, there's no such serious penalty either.' he thought.
Just then, he remembered that he had been holding the girl's hand, and she was looking at him a bit confused.
--"This... Young Master?" She asked uncomfortably trying to retract her hand which was firmly held between Tang Yin's hand, the latter noticed this and smiled with some embarrassment as he quickly let go of her.
-- "I'm sorry, miss. The touch of your hand made me a little distracted." He quickly replied, and she simply smiled.
--"Sir, are you here at this time of night, by the bamboo forest?" she asked, and Tang Yin nodded to him.
--"Yes, since wild animals do not dare to enter an Ancient Spiritual Bamboo Forest, I decided to spend the night here, but I did not expect to meet a person in these parts at this time of night." Tang Yin said, and she nodded since made sense. She ran here for precisely the same reason.
Then, Tang Yin, to divert the conversation a little and create more, turned around and began to pull the dead lion.
--"Did something happen to make you run away from this little beast? You seem to be at the Ninth Level of the Body Spiritual Strengthening Realm, you should be able to take care of a lion like this." Tang Yin said and began to pull him into the bamboo, this place was lit quite well by various small animals that flew and had little lights, plus the moonlight was reflected among the bamboo.
She, not knowing what to do, followed him somewhat embarrassed.
--"Actually, even though I'm at this level, I can't fight...." She said with embarrassment.
It is true that her body is strong because she was at a good cultivation level, but that was all.
She didn't know Martial Arts, and she still doesn't have her first Spirit Bone, which makes it difficult for her to fight, since she has no fighting skills. But that wasn't the biggest problem.
Tang Yin turned his face to look at her.
--"Why can't you fight?" Tang Yin asked with some surprise.
--"I can't use spiritual energy..." She said with embarrassment as she lowered her head.
Tang Yin was then surprised and stared at her, trying to understand why she couldn't use it. At first glance, he could see several things that could prevent her, a spiritual energy cultivator, from using spiritual energy, but...
Just at that moment, another statistical window appeared out of nowhere.

[Spirit Bones Body] [Amount of Bones obtained]
-----------
Tang Yin then read this information and was surprised to see the Spiritual Weapon he had.
'A King-grade Spiritual Weapon? How come I've never seen it?' He thought to himself in amazement, seeing this new name he had never seen before.
Basically, his world is an upgrade world to this one. Although well, you could say it's many many worlds that form one plane.
And Tang Yin at some point traveled through many of those worlds, so the amount of Spirit Weapons he got to see easily exceeded hundreds of thousands.
And here was a Spirit Weapon he had never seen before?
'Since when did Merchants have their own Spirit Weapons? what's it for? does it grant gold or what?' he thought.
But the fact that was half asleep told him why she couldn't use the spiritual energy.
Thinking so, Tang Yin nodded to her after looking at her for a moment and walked with the lion's body to the place where he was going to light a fire.
--"See, I thought I wasn't going to eat meat today and this little guy came to me." Tang Yin said with a smile as he started to assemble everything needed to cook the lion and prepared it, first draining it of blood and other procedures.
Huang Feifei was a little surprised.
--"Are you going to eat the meat of that night lion?" she asked in surprise.
Because Tang Yin didn't say anything, she had to stay close. He had saved her life to some extent. So, she had to thank him somehow.
Besides, she couldn't see any malice or sexual desire in Tang Yin's eyes. They were beautiful blue eyes that did not make her feel uncomfortable like the rest.
That's why she didn't feel uncomfortable being around him.
Tang Yin looked at her and understood what she meant.
--"Haha, I totally understand why you say that. It's true that the meat of this thing is not very tasty, but we can't be picky when we don't have anything to eat, can we?" he replied.
She then smiled a little and nodded.
--"It makes some sense to me." She replied, and they both laughed a little.
After finishing preparing everything, Tang Yin started to roast the lion meat, although before that he had to ask her for the weapon that she was carrying to cut this meat.
After putting it to roast, Tang Yin sat down and beckoned Huang Feifei to sit beside him.
--"Show me your Spiritual Weapon, I think that's where the problem lies why you can't use Spiritual Energy." Tang Yin said.
She then did as he said. She thought that, likewise, it was impossible to resist. For some reason, she thought Tang Yin was someone powerful.
