5: Chapter 5 guarantees Loyalty when Affection is maxed out.

Mo Zixing leaned against the stone wall, panting slightly, closing his eyes to suppress the impulse within his body.

The influence of this Candle Dragon Bloodline seemed a bit over the top.

A man can listen to his 'little brother,' but he cannot be completely controlled by it; that was his bottom line.

Jiang Yuwei stood in place, watching the Large Bamboo Demon flee without looking back, vanishing without a trace.

She hadn't yet recovered from the shock.

She had just been prepared to rush forward and risk her life to block the damage.

Even if she only had a cultivation of the Qi Refining Level 1, she could never tolerate seeing her Senior Brother, whom she had just accidentally stabbed, get hurt again.

As it turned out, that Large Bamboo Demon, which she was even afraid to look at, was actually scared away by just two sentences from her Senior Brother?

Previously, she only thought Mo Zixing was a gentle, non-competitive, and kind-hearted Senior Brother who was willing to help newcomers.

But just now, he stood there holding his sword.

The way he effortlessly wiped out ordinary Bamboo Demons and forced back the Large Bamboo Demon with just a few words...

...was like a completely different person compared to his usual carefree self.

Her heart throbbed uncontrollably.

Amidst her feelings of guilt, a hint of inexplicable attraction had unknowingly mixed in.

What made her even more ashamed was that such a Senior Brother, who protected her at every turn, had actually been stabbed through the chest by her own sword.

She racked her brains trying to look back, but her mind was a blur.

She couldn't remember why she had attacked; her mind only held the image of her sword piercing Mo Zixing.

Every time she thought about it, her sense of debt grew.

When she came to her senses, her gaze immediately fixed on Mo Zixing.

She saw him leaning against the stone wall, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his breathing heavy, and his face flushed with an abnormal redness.

Jiang Yuwei's heart tightened instantly, and she hurried over, saying in a panic:

"Senior Brother, is the wound hurting again?"

"Let me re-bandage it for you."

She jogged to Mo Zixing and crouched down, cautiously reaching out to lift his lapel.

But as soon as her fingertips touched the corner of his clothes, she was startled by the scorching heat from his body and jerked back.

Something was wrong.

This temperature was already a bit frightening.

Jiang Yuwei became even more panicked. She had never seen such symptoms and looked at him helplessly:

"Senior Brother, why are you so hot? Is your Qi in disarray?"

"Let's hurry back to the Outer Sect. The Elders of the Healing Hall will have a way!"

She reached out to support Mo Zixing's arm, trying to pull him up.

Her small hands were icy cold, and when they pressed against his scorching skin, Mo Zixing subconsciously rubbed against them in comfort.

Mo Zixing regained his composure, forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his body, and shook his head at her:

"There's no need to go back to the Healing Hall."

Are you kidding? The Presiding Elders in the Outer Sect's Healing Hall were at least Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and their eyes were extremely sharp.

If they detected the abnormality of the Candle Dragon Bloodline in his body, there was no telling what they would do to him.

He had finally obtained this Golden Finger by playing it safe until now; he absolutely could not take that risk.

"The wound is almost healed. It might just be an allergy to the Medicinal Pill. I'll be fine after a short rest."

He casually made up an excuse to brush her off, allowing Jiang Yuwei to support him as he stood up, leaning his weight slightly on her.

Seeing his persistence, Jiang Yuwei didn't dare to persuade him further. She only supported him cautiously, taking small steps out of the secret room, fearing that a large stride would tear his wound.

After a few steps, Mo Zixing's hand unconsciously slipped down and wrapped around her slender waist.

He felt a soft yet firm waistline; even through the thin fabric, he could feel the delicate touch.

Jiang Yuwei's body stiffened for a moment, her footsteps paused, and the tips of her ears turned red.

But she didn't pull away or say anything; she just continued to lead him forward cautiously.

Just then, the System's notification sound suddenly rang in Mo Zixing's mind, sounding somewhat inexplicably encouraging:

[Detected a significant increase in intimacy with the Holder of Heavenly Fate Luck]

[Hope the host continues to work hard]

[Supplementary Tip]

[If you can make the target sincerely convinced and completely voluntary in offering her primal yin, the Heavenly Dao Backlash Neutralization Effect can be greatly enhanced, and multiple additional rewards can be unlocked]

Mo Zixing was a bit surprised and asked in his mind:

"What do you mean? I have to get her to offer herself voluntarily?"

[Exactly]

[Obtaining primal yin through involuntary means can also yield a baseline benefit]

[However, because mental resistance takes priority in neutralizing the Heavenly Dao Backlash, additional rewards cannot be obtained]

[To facilitate the host's conquest, the Favorability Observation Function has been unlocked]

[In the future, when forming bonds with other Holders of Heavenly Fate Luck, you can view the target's favorability in real-time]

[Strategies can be adjusted based on the target's personality traits]

How convenient.

Could it be that this is actually a Galgame System?

[Obtaining the primal yin of a Holder of Heavenly Fate Luck with max favorability can trigger double rewards]

[The next time you draw a personality trait for her, the [Loyalty] trait is guaranteed to appear]

[Additionally, you will receive one extra chance to draw a Personal Luck Trait]

Ho, there's even a Loyalty trait.

This is definitely a good thing.

If this trait is applied after an "in-depth exchange," it can basically completely eliminate the possibility of being backstabbed or being cuckolded.

This function might not be used.

But it absolutely must be available.

The sense of security is instantly maxed out.

Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?

Just now, under the influence of the Candle Dragon Bloodline, he almost lost his head and forced it.

If that had actually happened, it would have been a pure loss!

Mo Zixing curled his lips in his mind, while secretly feeling lucky.

Fortunately, he was still clear-headed enough not to let the hot blood go to his head.

As for favorability...

Let's see.

With a thought, he directly opened Jiang Yuwei's personal panel.

Compared to before, there was indeed a row of shining favorability bars at the top of the panel.

Out of five hollow hearts, three and a half had actually been lit up.

The progress seems okay.

Mo Zixing couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his mind, feeling a bit proud.

It seems his charm is still effective.

We've only known each other for a few days, and almost four hearts are lit. Won't taking her down be just a matter of time?

Just as he was being smug, the System's notification rang again, instantly bringing his wandering thoughts back:

[Friendly reminder: although max favorability can unlock extra rewards, the deadline will not be extended]

[Current remaining time: 4 days, 23 hours]

[If the host still hasn't obtained the first primal yin before the Protection Period ends, the host will still suffer the Heavenly Dao Backlash]

[At the same time, the System will enter permanent dormancy]

Nagging, still nagging.

All in all, there are less than five days left.

Mo Zixing looked down at Jiang Yuwei, who was supporting him with her ears still red, and a slight smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

This person, he must take down.

The extra rewards, he doesn't plan to let go either.

The two left the Secret Realm.

They found a quiet cave nearby, tightly covered by vines.
