Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 43: Bountiful Rewards and Jinx

--- Chapter 42 ---

"How?"

"HOW?!"

"How did you reach peak Dou Spirit from 4-Stars Dou Spirit in six days? Even talent has its limit, brat!"

Out of everyone in the group, Hai Bodong is the one who always asks questions every 5 seconds.

Baek Ain smiled helplessly inside and answered everything with some coverage here and there, but this senile fellow sure was persistent.

Anyway, Baek Ain used the oldest trick in the book.

"I don't know, Ice Emperor."

"It's either enlightenment or..."

"Or?" Hai Bodong frowned, making the wrinkles on his face darken in grim.

Baek Ain shrugged and smiled at Hai Bodong, "I am just that blessed and built differently than others."

"..." Hai Bodong.

"Fuck!"

"Do you think I'd believe that!"

Baek Ain ignored Hai Bodong's rambling in the background and went to Lan Rou for a hug. "I'm tired." He whispered into her ears.

"Good job, Ain." Lan Rou smiled and rubbed Baek Ain's head gently.

"Take a rest. The desert has been quiet for six days as if something big is about to happen, so recover your stamina first."

"Yeah." Baek Ain chuckled amusingly.

When Baek Ain was busy absorbing his rewards in the magma, Lan Rou and others secured the desert area around the magma. They created a camouflage and illusion formation, which means none could enter this place. And with Hai Bodong's protection, no one besides the Dou Emperor can threaten them.

Hearing Lan Rou's explanation, Baek Ain laughed internally because that senile Ice Emperor is tsundere through and through. Baek Ain expected Hai Bodong to be a brass kind of guy, but the reality is more interesting than expected.

Even though the Ice Emperor disliked Baek Ain for taking his niece away, he's not unreasonable enough to discredit his value and incredible talent to the Miteer Family.

'And Hai Bodong is easier to deal with than most senile cultivators in those eastern fantasy novels.' Baek Ain thought to himself.

[Ding! You have Sign In to the Green Lotus Core Flame's Origin for the seventh time]

'Oh, show me the list.'

[Right away, host]

'Fucking hell. This place is a literal treasure trove.' Baek Ain couldn't help but blink when listening to Alicia's list.

Why did Baek Ain wait months to visit the Tager Desert if the rewards were like this? He should have come sooner.

Baek Ain thought the Poison Master's Inheritance Cave was generous when giving rewards, but the Green Lotus Core Flame's Origin is something else.

'Uh... Can you list them based on type now, Alicia?'

[Okay]

'Damn. These bountiful rewards are starting to make me suspicious.'

'The pendants... I'll give them to Lan Rou, Yi Xian, and Qing Yin.'

'As for the cloak, the Ice Emperor might need it.'

Baek Ain grinned from ear to ear, ignoring the materials because he'd check them later.
