91 See you later Zhu Zhuqin

After a few minutes, when the embarrassment faded from little Zhu Zhuqing's face, I decided it was time to formally accept her into our sect.

"Little Zhu Zhuqing, I want to congratulate you for passing the tests I gave you. From now on, you will be a part of our sect. I will provide you with everything you need, such as clothing, pendant, and more!" As I spoke, I handed her a spatial ring containing all the items she would need for practice. As usual, I placed the ring on her ring finger, which surprised Yuroichi once again.

"What are you doing?" Yuroichi asked as I moved away from Zhu Zhuqing, who was also blushing while looking at the ring on her finger.

"What's wrong? It's nothing strange. I gave you one too, don't you remember?" I commented, feigning doubt, though inside I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahhh... but I told you not to do it," Yuroichi responded, massaging her temple and sighing resignedly.

Meanwhile, I continued talking as if I didn't understand what she meant and as if there was no reason to be alarmed. While conversing with her, I heard the voice of the system in my mind.

[Congratulations, host, for accepting one of the main characters of the novel, completing the mission, and changing their destiny! As a reward, you are granted: 'Feline Martial Spirit Evolution Card,' 'Great Development Technique,' and 80,000 SP!]

Seeing the rewards, I was surprised, as one of them was specifically designed for Zhu Zhuqing, while the other was unknown to me. I became curious about what kind of ability it could be.

"Heaven, explain the rewards to me!"

[Yes, host.

The Feline Martial Spirit Evolution Card: as the name suggests, it allows the evolution of any martial soul related to felines. It can increase its level by up to 3 higher grades, but this is random.

The Great Development Technique: it is a secret technique specifically designed to enhance one's divine sense and divide the primordial spirit.]

I must admit, I was very pleased with this technique, as it could greatly increase my divine sense or mental power. Besides, it is the only thing I haven't practiced yet.

Then, I looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was observing the ring on her ring finger. Finally, she decided not to take it off. "Hehehe, the kittens have fallen," I couldn't help but think.

"As you are new to our sect, I will give you a gift that will greatly aid you in the future. So, sit with your legs crossed. Meanwhile, Yuroichi, please pay attention to the surroundings so that no one approaches," I commented as I gave them some instructions.

When they both heard me, they looked at me strangely but agreed to do what I had asked.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had sat on the floor, I placed my fingers on her forehead while whispering in my mind, "Ciel, use the Feline Spirit Evolution Card on Zhu Zhuqing."

As soon as I finished speaking, a small light emerged from my finger and headed towards her body. When the light made contact with her, her civet martial spirit appeared on her back and underwent a transformation.

"Stay calm, this is a great opportunity for you, so endure it," I reminded her as I watched her expression change, as this process was a bit painful.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded while biting her lower lip. Seeing this, I could only sigh and observe the new martial spirit forming based on the previous one. I had many doubts about its level, as her previous martial spirit was high-level. If she was lucky, she could reach the immortal level.

Nearly thirty minutes passed until the transformation finally ended. A spirit similar to the previous one appeared, but its color was black instead of purple. It also had some golden runes and a much stronger presence than before.

"How do you feel?" Yuroichi asked, while I looked at her, showing that I had the same question.

"I feel great, much better than before," she replied cheerfully as she explored her body.

"What is your new spirit called?" I asked eagerly.

"My new martial spirit is called 'Shadow Civet King.' It is much stronger than the previous one, and I now have a strong affinity with darkness. Moreover, my speed has increased significantly," she excitedly commented while experimenting with her new martial spirit.

Seeing all her changes, she was truly thrilled, as even her soul power had increased by a level. After observing her changes, she stared at me intently, a smile forming on her lips as she hugged me. "Thank you so much."

Upon hearing her sincere gratitude, I couldn't help but caress her head as I replied, "You don't need to thank me. From now on, you will be our companion, and you only need to focus on getting stronger. As for your family problems, don't worry, we will help you solve them."

She nodded in response to my words, and meanwhile, I noticed that Yuroichi's face had changed a bit, but quickly returned to normal.

"Zhu Zhuqing, will you go back home or will you accompany us?" I asked as I headed towards the small cave where we stayed to fetch some things.

She pondered for a moment before sadly replying, "I have to go back home since I have many things to take care of."

"You shouldn't worry so much about that. How about we meet in two years in the city of Soto?" I said, encouraging her, while Yuroichi also tried to cheer her up.

When she heard my proposal, she thought about it for a moment and then quickly agreed. She would use the next two years to become as strong as possible and resolve some family matters. So in the end, she accepted.

"Then, we'll prepare a big dinner to say goodbye, and tomorrow we'll help you get back home," I said as I went to fetch some utensils.

Both girls agreed and started helping me gather things to cook. I must say, it was a bit strange and funny to see them bringing so much fish. Perhaps it's because of their feline martial spirit and their love for that food. As for me, I went hunting for some animals because I really felt like eating meat.

Afterward, we had a very pleasant dinner. We talked about various things until we fell asleep without even realizing it.

The next morning, we helped Zhu Zhuqing return to a nearby place where she could continue her journey alone. It was a bit sad to say goodbye since we had gotten along so well during these months, but we'll see each other again in two years.

"And now, what do we do?" Yuroichi asked me as she looked at the forest behind us.

"How about we enjoy some time alone together before we return?" I commented with a smile on my face as I looked at her intently.

She remained silent for a moment and averted her gaze. She didn't expect me to be so direct, but after blushing a bit, she decided to accept my proposal, and we headed back into the depths of the forest to train.

That same night, while Yuroichi rested, I decided to go to my small world to take care of some important matters.

I reappeared in the sect master's hall and began calling several people who were in my world. After a while, around 30 people appeared in front of me.

All of them were beautiful women who belonged to my sect, not including Lin Mei, Qing Lin, and Esdeath. All the others had a cultivation level higher than soul tempering. I couldn't help but feel proud as I looked at the beautiful scene before me.

"What's the matter, young master?" Cai Die asked with doubts, as it was the first time I had called so many people at once. Not only she had doubts, but everyone else also had them and they were looking at me, waiting for my response.

"Well, ladies, today is a very special day, and that's why I've called you here because I'll need your help," I said as I stood up from my seat.
