Collecting Rent From All Realms, Even Empresses Must Pay Tribute
Ch. 122 - What More Is There To Say?

Looking at Luo Xi acting cute in his arms, Ye Chuan stroked her hair and asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

After all, this was Luo Xi's first time being nourished by his spiritual essence, and it would take time for her body to fully absorb and refine it.

She would get used to it eventually.

"Mm… I feel fine," Luo Xi said, shaking her head. After absorbing the spiritual liquid, she felt every cell in her body tingle.

It was as if her soul was trembling.

And for some reason, she didn't feel any pain, but rather a sense of lightness and comfort.

"Chuan Chuan."

"Mm?"

"Chu~" Luo Xi kissed Ye Chuan on the cheek and giggled.

"I'm so happy. Will we be together forever?"

Ye Chuan brushed her bangs aside and whispered, "Yes, cultivate with me diligently, and immortality is within our reach."

"You're so cheesy~" Luo Xi said coquettishly.

She glanced at the time sleepily, then snuggled back into Ye Chuan's arms, one leg draped over his stomach. 

"Mm, Chuan Chuan, I'm going to sleep a bit longer, I stayed up late… And I have to rehearse for the school anniversary."

"Okay."

Seeing Luo Xi fall asleep again, Ye Chuan smiled. Before their… activities… last night, he had also given her a drink made from ground-up Rejuvenation Pill.

It kept her in a state of healing, so even though it was her first time cultivating, she wouldn't feel any pain, only the pleasure of absorbing spiritual energy.

It was still early, but Ye Chuan wasn't sleepy. He took out his phone and checked the adventure.

The Monster Dormitory was now available as a regular text adventure.

It seemed the forced Holographic Adventure was just the system's way of making him spend money. 

As long as he had some savings, this app would always try to tempt him.

It was always trying to empty his wallet.

Whatever.

Text adventure, activate!

[Landing Location: Monster Dormitory]

[You appear in Room 444, accompanied by Tian Xiaotian. It is currently daytime, safe time. You choose to…]

[1. Immediately enter Tian Xiaotian] (TL: Bruh)

[2. Go out and gather information]

[3. Wait until nightfall]

Text adventures were indeed more convenient. The Monster Dormitory was too easy; Ye Chuan didn't want to waste time there.

He would personally enter high-difficulty adventures and use text adventures for simpler worlds.

Ye Chuan glanced at the options and chose to wait until nightfall.

[Night falls, and ghosts appear on every floor of the dormitory. As usual, you start cleansing the ghosts, but they are even weaker than yesterday and are quickly eliminated. You choose to…]

[1. Wait until the next day]

[2. Try to provoke the ghost administrators]

Time to cause some trouble.

He couldn't stand being idle.

[You choose to provoke the administrators, even taunting them through the loudspeakers, calling them weak. Your actions have enraged certain beings.]

[The "beings" descend personally and summon the final boss of Monster Dormitory.]

["You're dead, you fool!" they say coldly. You choose to…]

[1. Kneel and beg for mercy]

[2. Face your fate]

Huh?

The administrators were appearing personally and even summoning the final boss?

Since this wasn't a Holographic Adventure, Ye Chuan wasn't sure about their strength, but he wasn't going to kneel and beg for mercy—and there wasn't even an option to run away, so he chose to fight.

His Chaotic Indestructible Body was immune to all special attacks. As long as these "beings" weren't masters of physical combat, it wouldn't be a problem.

[You choose to fight the "beings."]

[Ghostly Qi surges, and a fierce wind howls. The enemy is incredibly powerful!]

[Terrifying!]

[Extremely terrifying!]

[And then you instantly kill the "beings" and the final boss.]

[You have opened the exit. Tian Xiaotian reluctantly leaves, promising to bring more gold bars next time.]

[Adventure ended. Items retrieved: 99]

[Monster Dormitory adventure complete. The world has disappeared.]

Ye Chuan: ?

Huh?

They were instantly killed?

It seemed he was too strong.

What more was there to say?

Ye Chuan swiped through the screens, confirming that the Monster Dormitory world had disappeared, and twitched his lips.

Well, it was good that he had cleared it. He wondered if Tian Xiaotian and the other survivors had returned to their world. He was still thinking about her inheritance.

Why weren't they from the same world?!

The thought made him frustrated.

After rubbing his hands together, Ye Chuan opened his backpack. Seeing it filled with spirit essence, his eyes lit up.

This was great.

With so much spirit essence, he could give some to Lilith every day and max out her favorability.

After organizing the spirit essence, he found a new item.

[Item: Adventure Completion Certificate

Monster Dormitory Adventure Completion Certificate. Can be exchanged for a reward in the Point Shop.]

Oh?

He could exchange it for a reward?

Ye Chuan immediately opened the Point Shop, and a window popped up.

[Adventure Completion Certificate detected. Exchange for reward?]

"Exchange."

[Obtained Upgrade Card]

[Item: Upgrade Card (Low-Level)

Increases a random cultivation realm (Usable at low levels).]

Huh?

A random realm increase?

Ye Chuan examined the card, then used it without hesitation.

Use it early, enjoy it early, use it late, wait for a discount.

His leveling speed was already fast; there was no need to hoard these items, especially since it said "usable at low levels."

After using the card, a window popped up, and a die spun, stopping on the number 2.

[Result: 2]

[You have reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment.]

Ye Chuan immediately felt a surge of power, his spiritual energy capacity seemingly doubling!

He had jumped directly from mid Foundation Establishment to the peak?

"That's awesome! If only there were more one-time adventure worlds," Ye Chuan said, surprised by the reward.

He then looked at his phone.

[Requirements for Crystallization met. Please select a breakthrough method—]

[Crystallization Pill (0/1)]

A Crystallization Pill?

What was that?

Ye Chuan was taken aback. It seemed the next realm was Crystallization, where spiritual energy solidified into crystals, then into a core, before reaching Golden Core.

He would ask Bai Qianshuang later; she probably knew about these cultivation matters.

But it was still early, and with Luo Xi still nestled in his arms, Ye Chuan nuzzled his face against her… ample bosom.

"Mm… time for a nap."
