The kiss lasted for a long time before they finally parted.

The girl's body was soft, and she could barely stand.

Qin Yi knew his limits and didn't push further.

Firstly, they were at the foot of Emerald Bamboo Peak, and secondly, if things progressed too quickly, the girl might not accept it easily.

It was better this way, stopping at just the right moment.

"Why... why are you doing this to me?"

The girl broke free from his embrace, regained some strength, and quickly ran a few steps away.

"Junior Sister Yiyi, between me and Hua Yunfeng, who do you think is better?"

Qin Yi asked at this moment.

The girl was slightly stunned, looked at him seriously, and a mix of emotions surged in her heart.

At the same time, her affection level increased by 5 points, reaching 90 points just because of this question.

(Because of this question, the girl compared the host with Hua Yunfeng in her heart. As a result, her affection for Hua Yunfeng decreased by 5 points, while the host's closeness in her heart surpassed Hua Yunfeng's, thus increasing by 5 points.)

'Finally reached 90 points.'

At the same time, Qin Yi understood one thing.

For a woman, there can only be one person in her heart who reaches 90 points of affection.

In Gu Yiyi's heart, it was originally Hua Yunfeng who held 90 points of affection.

After Qin Yi came, being the girl's savior and due to various intimate actions, the girl, who was just beginning to understand love, couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for him, also reaching 90 points.

When Qin Yi reached 90 points, he immediately pushed Hua Yunfeng, who previously held 90 points, out of her heart.

"Why do you ask that?"

Even though Qin Yi had surpassed Hua Yunfeng, the girl didn't want to compare the two of them again.

"Junior Sister Yiyi, do you believe that I will surpass him sooner or later?"

The girl looked at him in surprise.

Hua Yunfeng was a genius disciple of the Famous Sword Sect. Although not a member of the Gu family, the sect valued him as much as their direct descendants.

At a young age, he had already reached the Golden Elixir Realm. Other disciples could only look up to him. Let alone surpassing him, few dared to even secretly compare themselves to him.

It's like in the modern world, how would an ordinary person think of competing with a wealthy tycoon?

Because it's simply not possible, and insisting on it would only bring humiliation.

Moreover, the gap is so vast that there's no need to compare.

Similarly, Hua Yunfeng was such an existence.

But Qin Yi now claimed he would surpass Hua Yunfeng?

"You... want to surpass him? In what aspect?" The girl instinctively thought that surpassing him in cultivation was impossible, but perhaps in other aspects, there was a chance.

But in the cultivation world, who doesn't compare realms and instead compares other things?

Literary cultivation? Culture? That's something for scholars in the mortal world.

Qin Yi, however, replied seriously, word by word, "In every aspect."

The girl shook her head directly, "Impossible, he's in the Golden Elixir Realm now, and you've just entered the sect today."

Qin Yi smiled inwardly, is the Golden Elixir Realm that impressive?

As long as I complete your task and then your senior cousin's task, I can reach the Golden Elixir Stage in no time.

"As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. Believe me, in less than three months, I will surpass him."

"Bragging." The girl didn't believe it.

After this topic, the awkwardness between the two dissipated quite a bit.

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Let's bet..."

Just as Qin Yi was thinking about what to wager, a gentle, elegant lady's voice suddenly broadcasted in his mind: [Congratulations to the host for successfully winning over Gu Yiyi. The reward has been issued. Would you like to claim it now?]

Qin Yi was stunned. Was it... successful?

[With 90 points of affection, you have become Gu Yiyi's favorite person, thus successfully winning her over. However, if the host can achieve 100 points of affection with Gu Yiyi, a special mysterious reward will be added.]

So that's how it is!

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Winning love by force means winning the heart, not necessarily having a relationship.

At this moment, with 90 points of affection, he successfully pushed Hua Yunfeng out of Gu Yiyi's heart, which naturally counts as winning love by force.

"Wait, I won't claim the reward for now."

His current plan was still the same as before; he wanted to hide his abilities until he received guidance from his future father-in-law.

"Junior Sister Yiyi, how about this? Let's bet on ten days. If I can reach the Foundation Establishment Stage within ten days, will you take me on your next field duty?"

Sect disciples go on field duty every month.

Cultivating in the sect requires various resources.

Ordinary disciples need to procure grains and poultry from the mortal world.

Additionally, alchemy and physical training require herbs, which include not only precious plants but also certain animal bones and organs.

Moreover, besides demons, there are also monsters in this world, and many materials needed for physical training come from the bones of these creatures.

These resources need to be collected by sect disciples during field duty.

Otherwise, if everyone joins the sect and expects free food and lodging, how could the sect sustain them?

Even the wealthiest sect would eventually be unable to support everyone.

In the sect, besides having enough to eat and drink, disciples must earn their own cultivation resources through effort.

However, ordinary disciples usually aren't qualified for field duty.

As Huang Tianrong mentioned, new disciples often have to do chores for months, and those with less talent might do so for two or three years.

Although Qin Yi touched the Enlightenment Stone and directly reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, without mastering any basic Dao cultivation knowledge, he typically wouldn't be approved for field duty.

Field duty requires teamwork, and others might be reluctant to take him along, fearing he would hold them back.

Therefore, if Qin Yi wanted to go on field duty, he had to start with Gu Yiyi.

"Ten days? Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Gu Yiyi laughed when she heard this. Did Qin Yi really think cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking?

She was sixteen this year and started entering the Dao at seven. After nine years, she was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

And Qin Yi wanted to reach Foundation Establishment in ten days?

"Alright, I'll bet with you. If you win, I'll take you on field duty, no problem. But what if you lose?"

The girl suddenly became cheerful. This bet was clearly a win-win for her, so why not agree?

Qin Yi: "If I lose, Junior Sister Yiyi can set any condition."

The girl thought for a moment: "If you lose, I'll decide the condition later. Whatever condition I set, you must agree."

Such a pure and innocent girl wouldn't set any outrageous conditions.

Qin Yi naturally had no objections: "Deal."
