Chapter 33: Keep Your Hands to Yourself

Chapter 33: Keep Your Hands to Yourself

[Detecting a Boss Monster Kill.]

[Giving Reward: 1 Large Loot Box, 1500 System Points]

[Opening Large Loot Box... You Receive 5000 Gold, 1x Tissue Box, Water-based Lubricant (1 bottle), Condensed Qi Pill (1 bottle)]

[Congratulations! You have successfully repelled the first wave!]

[World Restoration progress increased by 0.01%.]

[Next wave is coming in 167:59:59...]

"The fuck is this reward...?" Xu Tao raised a brow at the random stuff the system gave out.

Although he felt cheated once again, his eyes shone after seeing the last item. "Condensed Qi Pill!"

To cultivators, it’s an item comparable to a treasure. It’s like finding a 100,000-year-old spiritual herb while walking randomly in a mountain!

Although, of course, it couldn’t be compared to getting a drop of True Heavenly Qi.

After gathering the reward items, he quickly pulled the Pill Bottle out. The appearance of the bottle was exactly the same as the Recovery Pill he got earlier. However, the contents were very different.

A Recovery Pill had a faint gold cover, exuding the scent of herbs and the taste of the freshest honey. But this one was different. The pill itself didn’t look like a physical object, being semi-transparent as it glowed with a faint blue light.

It was like a small star packed in a brown bottle—ten of them, to be specific. Size-wise, it was about the same as the Recovery Pill. A standard, mouthful size.

But if the residual Qi of the heavenly-grade Recovery Pill managed to raise his cultivation to the 9th stage—adding almost 500 points of cultivation, system-wise—this Condensed Qi Pill would definitely give him more than that.

"..."

The desire to monopolize it was strong, but as the "leader" of the settlement, he had to reward the others too. He couldn’t, and shouldn’t, hoard all the loot for himself.

But other than the five disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect, Xu Tao was clueless as to what the rest would like to receive.

Just then, Jehanne started walking back toward Xu Tao. As she did, she passed by Arthur, still bent over with an intoxicated expression. His face was so red he looked like he had just drunk alcohol until he was wasted!

His gaze hovered over Jehanne, eyeing every corner of her. Her beautiful face, her narrow neck, the hidden giant bumpers, narrow waist, and down below—

"Sir Arthur, please keep your eyes to yourself." But before he could continue staring, Jehanne’s words reached him.

She was looking at him, smiling—but her smile didn’t reach her eyes, at least. "If you keep lecherously staring at my body, then I’ll gouge those eyes of yours out, understood?"

"...!"

Her words might have sounded like an empty threat before... but now that she was wearing the Bunny Suit, her warning was a serious, physical threat she could act upon. If she did, the other party would be hard-pressed to even protect themselves.

Arthur, still out of sorts, quickly averted his gaze, body trembling as chills ran down his spine. In just a moment, his raging "lust" cooled down.

"Hmph!"

Jehanne scoffed, walking toward Xu Tao at the same pace.

But then, when she arrived near him, her expression changed rapidly. From the cold face she had for Arthur, to the embarrassed expression of a shy, young woman. The closer she got, the more conscious she became of her humiliating attire.

"Good work, Jehanne." Xu Tao smiled, praising her as soon as she arrived. "With this, we now have a week of leeway before the next wave comes."

"A week...?" Jehanne was a bit shocked upon hearing this. "You mean, we need to fight another wave of monsters like this in a week?"

"Yes."

Xu Tao was sure it wouldn’t be this "weak" by then. It’d probably be twice as strong as what they fought earlier. But still, it’s not like they were helpless.

"We’ve got a week to raise our strength, so it’s not the time to despair yet."

"I... see..."

Jehanne’s expression turned serious, her mind seemingly wrapping itself around the implications of Xu Tao’s words. But before she could fully analyze the new information, Xu Tao continued.

"Anyway, thanks to your great sacrifice, we managed to beat that Boss Monster or whatever." He said. "Do you want anything as a reward? If it’s something I can give, then don’t hold back."

"R-Really?!"

In an instant, all thoughts disappeared from her head, and she stepped forward, inching closer to Xu Tao. Her eyes swam in excitement as she asked for her "reward."

"T-Then... please pat my head!"

"...Just that?"

Xu Tao was shocked by her childish request. It wasn’t a reward worthy of her achievements, but still, he did as asked.

He stretched his right hand, placing it over Jehanne’s head, between her bunny ears, and gently ruffled her hair.

"E-Ehehe..." She chuckled lightly, almost as if ticklish.

"..."

While Xu Tao, on the other hand... was fighting his inner demons.

The effect of the Charm stat was working well enough just from sight alone, but now that he was in contact with her body, its effects were drilling into his skull like poison. His breathing grew shorter, ragged, while his body temperature rose without warning.

"Alright, that’s enough."

But before he reached the "boiling point," he pulled his hand away and let out a deep, long sigh to calm down.

"Also, you can keep that suit." He added. "We might use it again, soon enough."

"Y-You mean...!"

Jehanne’s head was beyond the clouds at the moment, so she missed Xu Tao’s intended meaning. Instead, she interpreted his words through her own bias, making herself blush madly.

But since Xu Tao didn’t have mind-reading abilities, he missed the opportunity to once again dismiss a misunderstanding... another fatal mistake.

Jehanne ran away, her cheeks blushing madly, toward the nearby forest.

"Ah..."

Xu Tao wanted to stop her, but realized he didn’t have any business left to discuss either way, so just let her be. There shouldn’t be anything that could harm her in that forest, anyway. Rather, it’s the monsters who should fear for their lives now that she’s running toward them.

Moving on, he turned toward the walls.

"Pepe!" Xu Tao shouted, calling with a powerful voice. "It’s safe now! Come over and continue cleaning up the loots!"

"Pui!"

Not even a few seconds later, the little pumpkin floated over, arriving at the scene, and resumed its interrupted job. There were still hundreds of loot boxes left to gather, so even Xu Tao himself worked on it.

As he was going around, gathering loot from the boxes, he reached Arthur’s position. The poor man was still on his knees, with bloodshot eyes that looked vacant, like a dead fish’s.

Xu Tao didn’t know what to say, but still decided to give him a share of the rewards.

"Take this..." he said, passing the box of tissue and the lubricant.

He wasn’t sure what it was for, anyway, so giving it away was for the best.

"If you want some other rewards, just ask for it later, when you’re back on your feet." Xu Tao added, patting Arthur’s back twice and leaving him behind.

Just then, Arthur glanced at the items he received—before grabbing them and running toward a different forest than Jehanne.

He was in such a rush he even forgot about his Excalibur that was stabbed into the ground—or not, as the sword pulled itself out and flew, as if to chase after its owner.

"Seems like the forest is popular right now..." Xu Tao shrugged.
