“...You’re saying this was given to me by Senior Sister Ning?” Li Muyang, who had been called out of his house, looked at his little sister in front of him with some surprise.

    His little sister Li Yuechan was holding a box in her hands, a sealed and enchanted box that Li Muyang opened to find a Qiankun Ring lying quietly inside.

    As a rare spatial storage treasure in the world of cultivation, Qiankun Rings were extremely valuable.

    Even direct disciples of the Demonic Sect might not all have access to a Qiankun Ring.

    Most people would be considered impressive if they had a storage bag.

    Li Yuechan was also shocked to see the Qiankun Ring, but she explained, “It wasn’t Senior Sister Ning. It was Elder Yan.”

    Li Yuechan corrected her brother, saying, “Senior Sister Ning said that Elder Yan gave her this Qiankun Ring to deliver to you as a reward for you.”

    With a smile on her face, she looked at the Qiankun Ring in the box, “Brother, you’re rich now!”

    A Qiankun Ring, if sold, could fetch a value sufficient to boost Li Muyang’s cultivation to the Golden Core Realm.

    Elder Yan was actually willing to bestow such a precious treasure on her brother... It seemed that the four months her brother served Elder Yan had left the elder quite satisfied.

    Li Yuechan was happy for her brother.

    Li Muyang, surprised, took the Qiankun Ring and suddenly realized that it looked familiar.

    This Qiankun Ring... wasn’t it the same one Yan Xiaoru used before?

    Uh... Li Muyang couldn’t quite grasp Yan Xiaoru’s intentions.

    The reward was too generous, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

    “Did Elder Yan say why she was giving me such a valuable treasure?” Li Muyang asked.

    Li Yuechan shrugged and shook her head, “No... maybe it’s because Elder Yan was in a good mood?”

    “According to Senior Sister Ning, the sect leader has recently sent many treasures and spiritual medicines to Elder Yan to commend her contributions to the sect.”

    “Elder Yan must be in a good mood, which is why she was so generous with her rewards.”

    “Not only did you get a Qiankun Ring, but Senior Sister Ning also received one!” Li Yuechan cheerfully explained the situation.

    Hearing this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

    From what his little sister said, it seemed like Yan Xiaoru, in a good mood, had casually rewarded Li Muyang.

    After all, Yan Xiaoru received even more rewards from the sect.

    This was reassuring.

    “Alright, then I’ll accept this ring,” Li Muyang scratched his head.

    “Later, ask Senior Sister Ning if I should go thank Elder Yan for her reward.”

    According to the rules, when a person of high status gives a reward, the recipient should go and express their gratitude.

    Li Muyang was somewhat stunned.

    Looking at the pile of “bonus items” in front of him, their value seemed to be no less than that of the Qiankun Ring itself!

    Not to mention that among these bonus items, there was also a thick ancient book.

    On the title page of this ancient tome were four powerful chinese characters——Netherworld Demon Manual.

    F*ck!

    Could it be that Yan Xiaoru really sent over her cultivation manual, the Netherworld Demon Technique?

    Li Muyang looked at the demon manual in front of him with a mix of shock and hesitation, and it took him a while before he dared to open it.

    Upon opening the first page of the manual, he saw a piece of white paper tucked inside.

    On the paper was written a sentence in delicate handwriting, a cold message.

    –I promised you this.

    “...”

    Sister, you’re really giving it to me?

    Although in the secret realm, Yan Xiaoru, with the mindset of ‘a dying person’s words are kind,’ had said she would pass on the Netherworld Demon Technique to Li Muyang, Li Muyang didn’t take it seriously at all.

    Such an important top-tier demonic technique, once Yan Xiaoru returned to reality, she would surely regret it and wouldn’t possibly pass it on to Li Muyang.

    But unexpectedly, five days later, the first time Yan Xiaoru emerged from her seclusion, she sent her disciple to deliver the Qiankun Ring, which included this demonic technique!

    Yan Xiaoru’s generosity stunned Li Muyang.

    With Yan Xiaoru’s status, she could have easily killed Li Muyang to silence him with almost no consequences.

    But instead, she chose to reward him with so many things to seal his lips...

    Something’s not right!

    A thousand things are not right!

    What on earth is this woman thinking!?

    When things are out of the ordinary, there must be schemes at play.

    Why is Yan Xiaoru being so generous? What’s her angle?

    Does she think Li Muyang is a small fry? Does she think Li Muyang didn’t bathe in the secret realm?

    It couldn’t possibly be that she’s developed feelings for Li Muyang, an Outer Sect small fry, due to the suspension bridge effect, and wants Li Muyang to become a key player, right?
