[Inventory:
- Tier 2 Sword!]
Zhen noticed a new menu in his System.
The cultivation world naturally had storage rings that could hold any item, but it seemed he didn't need one since he had an Inventory.
He could sense the sword's presence even though he couldn't see it, and he even knew its exact form.
If he wanted to take it, he only needed to think about it.
Here, there was no need to use the sword, which would only provoke the greed of stronger individuals.
DING!
(You angered Xia Bai; you gained 3 System Points!)
[System Points: 20]
When he suddenly received the notification that he had once again angered Xia Bai, Zhen couldn't help but glance at him.
The man with thick eyebrows also looked at him, looking surprised yet envious.
Of course, he began to realize that Zhen was now unusual.
"Zhen, what are you doing? How could you be so rude?"
"That's right, this is just training, why did you hit Xia Hu so hard?"
"Are you planning to kill him?"
As jealousy filled their heads, the young men naturally began to blame Zhen, twisting the facts as if only Zhen had attacked fiercely.
Zhen felt no need to explain anything.
He pretended to be just as surprised.
"I didn't know he was so weak? After all, our cultivation is the same? Aren't we supposed to be evenly matched for now? Is he too weak or am I too strong?" he said, showing a confused expression that made everyone almost jump.
At the same time, he thought, 'It seems like there's no new mission, so I'll just go!'
After that, he walked away, returning to his home.
"What? Hey, where are you going?"
"Zhen, you must explain your actions to the clan!"
"Zhen, you must take responsibility and pay for Xia Hu's treatment!"
He was shouted at as he left, but he didn't stop.
Why would he waste his time dealing with them if there was no reward from the System?
Inside his house, he looked at his fist, which he had easily transformed into a mass of green scales.
No one even noticed that his fist had changed when he struck Xia Hu.
"I didn't expect I was so strong," he said.
This was combat power that surpassed his own cultivation.
As far as he knew from Xia Zhen's memories, only top-tier geniuses like the disciples of the top characters possessed combat power that could surpass cultivation.
'Maybe I should sleep first,' he thought.
He was actually starting to feel sleepy; what he had said in the backyard about not being sleepy was just nonsense he had made up.
What he wanted was for daytime to come as soon as possible, and sleep was the only way to make time feel like it was passing quickly.
Entering his room, he found a large bed that looked very soft with a thick blanket.
It seemed like he hadn't lost his comfortable life after all.
With such a bed, as soon as he lay down, he easily fell asleep.
This was his first sleep in the Cultivation World, and somehow he dreamed of becoming the ruler of the world with many beautiful wives loyal to him.
In the morning, he woke up feeling refreshed.
He could easily sit up and stretch his body until his bones cracked.
"Zhen, Young Master Xia Zhen!" Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name from outside his house, accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door.
It seemed to be the voice of the makeup artist from yesterday.
Zhen quickly stood up, suspecting he had woken up late.
Opening the door, he found all the makeup artists gathered in front of his house.
They were carrying a white horse adorned with luxurious clothes, even wearing a large silver necklace.
However, Zhen did not see a single member of the Xia Clan. He only saw servants cleaning the yard.
It seemed like there would be no wedding here.
They were clearly showing their disapproval.
Fortunately, the event was being held at the Zhu Clan. Zhen was only worried that he wouldn't be accompanied by anyone when he went there, which he thought would be embarrassing.
"Young Master Xia, you must bathe immediately!" The makeup artists were surprised to see him just waking up.
Zhen nodded his head upon hearing that and replied, "Please come in!"
He gestured for them to enter his house.
After that, he quickly went to the bathroom.
On Earth, he had never been married, so he felt a sensation that was difficult to describe, even though his main goal was not the wedding itself.
A secret protector—that reward was what interested him the most.
In this dangerous world, without a secret protector, it was clearly unsafe for him.
He bathed until he was clean. This world also had a cleanser similar to soap, and the results were even better, making his body smell very fragrant.
When he stepped out of the bathroom, the attendants had already prepared a white robe for him.
It was a luxurious robe with an enchanting design, as if it had been crafted for a sword-wielding knight.
"Young Master Xia, please put on this robe; we will adjust it later," said the lead makeup artist.
Zhen nodded to him and took the robe to his room to put it on.
He didn't know what the robe was made of, but it was very light and soft, and cool despite being quite thick.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he found it hard to believe that it was him, as his appearance was truly captivating.
In his opinion, it was impossible for any woman not to be attracted to him.
"Even if Zhu Yueli had the nature of a heavenly being, if she weren't interested in me, it would only mean she's not normal," Zhen thought.
After that, he stepped out of his room, and the makeup artists showed clearly enchanted expressions when they saw him.
"Young Master Xia, you truly have the aura of an unmatched prince. I have done makeup for many grooms, but without a doubt, you are the most charming," said the lead makeup artist while fanning himself with a feather fan.
Zhen felt a bit uncomfortable hearing her words because he was a man, yet he was looking at him as if he desired him.
"Hmm!" He cleared his throat lightly.
"So what else do I need to wear?" he asked.
"Please sit down first, Young Master Xia," replied the lead makeup artist.
