"How are you feeling? Feels a lot better now?" Yunlong asked his sister, who quietly nodded her head while continuing to hug him like a koala.
"Promise me. You won't do something like that again." Qian Renxue complained with a pout, which put a weak smile on Yunlong's face.
"I promise," Yunlong naturally stated while giving her a soft pat on the head. Qian Renxue snuggled in his embrace, and both of them stayed in this position for a few minutes.
"Y-Yunlong... It's about my kisses. Can you please forget about them?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked with a blushed face.
"Hmm, why? They feel good, though?" Yunlong sensibly commented, to which Qian Renxue reacted by softly pounding his chest.
"S-Stupid brother...!" Qian Renxue quietly muttered while trying to hide her flustered face.
Yunlong chuckled when he saw his sister's reaction and said, "What can I say? Even though it was an accident, you're the one who kissed me first. I only enjoyed them."
Qian Renxue blushed more when she heard Yunlong's words, and she really wants to bonk him right now, but she endured the urge and released a cute hmph.
"I'm going to cook something for lunch. Stay here for a moment." Qian Renxue released herself from his embrace and walked away from him.
Yunlong stared at her and nodded his head, "Sure, I'll wait here."
'It's not like I had something to do.' Yunlong commented in his head while remembering about the dragon king's bones in his unique spatial ring.
As Qian Renxue walked out of the room, Yunlong shifted his gaze at the silver ring in his left index finger, where the dragon king's bones were stored when he discovered them.
Yunlong is about to take out the dragon king's bone from his unique spatial ring, but white ball fur suddenly jumps out onto his shoulder.
Yuri gently rubbed her head against his neck, making him laugh because he knows what she wants.
"I just gave you snacks a few hours ago, and you're already hungry?" Yunlong said while brushing the white fox fur, to which she responded with a soft purr in delight.
The white fox raised her tiny paw like she's demanding her right and intently staring at him in the eyes.
Yunlong stared at her and utterly said, "No, I won't give them to you." Which made the white fox's body shook as she stared at him in disbelief.
"Hahaha...!" Yunlong chuckled at his pet, who is giving him pitiful looks.
He shook his head for a little and then threw a shiny pink pill into the air, making the white fox instantly jump to eat it because it's her favorite food.
"You better eat that slowly since I won't give you another one after this," Yunlong stated, to which she responded with a nod.
'Boss...?' A neutral voice suddenly entered his ears, which made him frown because he never heard this voice before.
'It's me, Greed.' The voice added, making Yunlong shift his gaze at his right index finger, where he can see his ego glowed with a purplish light.
'I see... You have awakened.' Yunlong answered while looking at the glowed ring.
'So, what can you do? I hope it's something useful because I don't want something worthless bound with me.' He thought with a troubled expression, which made Greed feel insulted for some reason.
'I'm not worthless?!' Greed firmly responded with an upset tone.
'Do you have a weapon in your arsenal?" Greed asked Yunlong, who nodded his head and took his katana out of his inventory.
The ego greed suddenly beamed from his index finger. It swallowed his katana in a flash, making Yunlong's eyes widened in disbelief.
"My Katana!" Yunlong shouted, but Greed ignored him because it's examining his katana for a moment.
[You have unlocked Greed Zero Form: Abyssal Sword]
As Neo's monotonous voice echoed in Yunlong's head, The ego greed suddenly turned into a black sword with a hilt shaped almost like a cross.
[Name: Greed]
[Type: Sword]
[Grade: Special]
[Zero Form Ability: Dark Violent Dance]
[Description: The base form of Greed, this form an excellent cutting power and toughness, which also increase the user strength when used]
Yunlong seized the black sword with his left hand and felt a great connection between Greed and himself.
He swung the black sword, and a strong gush was suddenly scattered throughout the room.
'Hmph! I'm not worthless.' Greed proudly declared.
Yunlong acknowledged with a nod and observed the black sword, which naturally flowed a faint sword intent.
As he immersed himself into his new weapon, a door opening sound entered his ears, which snapped him back to reality.
He returned Greed to ring form and shifted his gaze at the door, where he could see his sister walking into the room with a tray full of food.
"I have cooked our lunch, and don't get me wrong! I just accidentally cooked your favorite foods." Qian Renxue stated while releasing a cute pout.
'Well, there is my tsundere sister.' Yunlong commented with a smile since her tsundere behavior had returned.
"Let's eat." Qian Renxue sat beside him.
"Mm, thanks for the food," Yunlong replied while smiling at her.
--- After Lunch ---
In the sunset forest, Yunlong and Qian Renxue walked beside each other and observed the area around them.
"You have reached level 40?" Qian Renxue asked with a frown on her face.
"Yup," Yunlong spontaneously replied.
'The monster, he's only eight, and his spirit rank have reached level 40.' Qian Renxue thought while releasing a sigh.
Even though Qian Renxue herself is a genius, she reached level 40 when only twelve years old. Compared to Yunlong's talent, her talent instantly got shattered.
"No, I don't have to be discouraged. After Yunlong became a spirit ancestor, his cultivation speed would become slower because of his twin martial souls.' Qian Renxue thought while staring at Yunlong, who is quietly looking around the area.
"Hmm? Something is moving beneath us, and it was a powerful spirit beast." Yunlong suddenly said while lowering his gaze to the ground, which is slightly vibrating.
Qian Renxue activated her martial soul, and six angelic wings appeared from her back.
"Jump!" Yunlong instantly shouted and jumped into the air, which Qian Renxue also did as she flapped her wings and flew.
BOOM!
Countless strings suddenly burst out of the ground and formed a prison, which widened Qian Renxue's eyes because if they didn't dodge, they would be trapped.
The ground was shaking for a second. A giant spider arose from the ground, and it had a grey body with eight strong legs like lances.
"Eh, this spirit beast," Yunlong said with a surprised tone while landing on a tree branch.
[Name: Devouring Demon Pit Spider]
[Type: Arachnid Spirit Beast]
[Cultivation Age: 20,000 years old]
[Innate Ability: Chaotic Prison, Devouring Lines]
"No, it's a variant," Yunlong muttered while looking at the giant spider, which is around ten feet tall.
"Yunlong, what should we do?" Qian Renxue asked while also looking at the spider spirit beast.
"This spirit beast is compatible with my martial soul, so we fight!." Yunlong replied while stimulating his new weapon, which is Greed in its zero forms.
"Okay," Qian Renxue calmly responded with a nod.
Even though she's nervous because their enemy is a spirit beast with a cultivation age of ten thousand years old. Qian Renxue still calmly observed their enemy and formulated a plan.
"I'll distract this spirit beast. Prepare your attack." Qian Renxue shifted her gaze at Yunlong, who nodded his head.
"Angelic Descent." She said while launching a golden silhouette toward the spider, who fired spider webs at her.
Qian Renxue flew and easily dodged the spider attacks, while the golden silhouette simply passed through it.
The golden silhouette descended and punched the spider on the head, which angered it.
Yunlong appeared above the spider and vertically slashed Greed down toward the spider, "Unison Season Arts: Second Sword, Descending Thunder Strike."
The pit spider sensed Yunlong's attack and hurriedly formed a sphere around its body using its strings.
An imaginary sword with a great force appeared in the air and pierced the sphere, which also attacked the spider's body.
The spider shrieked in pain and launched another type of string toward them, which had a different color and glowed with vibrant dark purple light.
Qian Renxue immediately dodged but got captured by one strand of strings. She suddenly felt weak as her spirit energy got sucked out.
"Holy Flame!" Qian Renxue activated her other spirit skill and burned the strings into ash.
"Yunlong, be careful. Those strings could absorb your spirit energy and weaken your ability." She warned Yunlong, who nodded his head at her.
'You don't have to worry. That pitiful absorption won't have any effect on us. Especially you, boss!' Greed's voice suddenly entered his mind.
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
'Oh, right. Gluttony.' Yunlong thought while looking at the incoming strings, which touched his skins, but immediately withered.
He raised his hand, and a golden-threaded handkerchief appeared in the air, which he instantly turned into golden strings.
"Golden Cutting Threads, Bind." Yunlong threw his finger into the airs and looked down at the spider with an amused smile.
The pit spider was confused because its strings suddenly got severed by something. To its surprise, a bunch of golden lines suddenly appeared and bound its body.
Yunlong landed on the spider's head and stabbed Greed into its brain. He instantly killed the spider because he sent a destructive amount of sword intent, which destroyed its brain.
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
[You have killed Devouring Demon Pit Spider]
[You have devoured Devouring Demon Pit Spider's soul pieces]
[You have gained a portion of Devouring Demon Pit Spider's spirit energy and spiritual energy]
[You have obtained [Chaotic Prison] Skill]
The Greed suddenly glowed with purple light, and another system panel appeared in front of him.
[You have awakened Greed Counter]
[Current Greed Counter: 5/10,000]
'Greed Counter, What is that?' Yunlong asked while looking at the system panel.
'Greed Counter is my newest ability. If you reached the counter limit, you would be able to unlock my next form, boss.' Greed answered with a cheerful tone.
'That's an interesting ability.' Yunlong nodded his head in wonder.
'Do you know, what is your next form?' He asked Greed, who suddenly became quiet.
'About that... I don't know.' Greed answered with an ashamed tone.
'Useless...' Yunlong stared at the black sword in his hand, which triggered Greed's pride for some reason.
'I Am Not Useless!!'
