Chapter 6: Fist and Foot Produce Filial Sister

The rumbling in his stomach grew louder and louder, deafening like the beating of drums.

Zhang Yi shook his head, and a few drops of morning dew shook off his golden feathers.

"Damn it, hungry again!"

He couldn't help but complain; this leveling up consumed too much energy, feeling even more exhausting than running a marathon.

He turned his head to look at Nudi beside him, discovering she was sitting cross-legged, her body wreathed in spiritual energy, looking as if she were about to break through.

Zhang Yi chuckled inwardly: Little thing, still cultivating?

I'm already at the fifth rank, and you, a little second rank, are nothing but a piece of trash with a combat power under five in my eyes.

"Hey, little follower, stop cultivating. Let's go, I'll take you out to find something to eat!"

Zhang Yi teased in a muffled voice.

Upon hearing this, Nudi cast a look of disgust at Zhang Yi.

This guy, how is it that he does nothing but eat or sleep!

He ate so much in one go yesterday, and it's already digested? He's simply a glutton!

She had previously thought he was some big shot reincarnated to start over, but now it seemed he was purely a starving ghost reborn!

"Not going!"

Nudi coldly refused.

One must know that while Zhang Yi was sleeping, she had already broken through to the second rank, and now she was only a step away from the third rank.

Despite Zhang Yi's massive size, Nudi assumed in her heart that his cultivation base was definitely inferior to hers.

At this moment, Nudi had already conceived the idea of giving Zhang Yi a good lesson to let him see the power of a dignified Xianchao Nudi!

"Not going? That won't do. You're my personal bodyguard; aren't you supposed to be responsible for my safety?"

As Zhang Yi spoke, he stretched out a giant claw and grabbed at Nudi.

Seeing this, a flash of disdain crossed Nudi's eyes.

"To hell with your personal bodyguard, watch how I deal with you today!"

No sooner had she spoken than Nudi decisively struck out with her "claws."

She flapped her wings rapidly, and a pair of sharp claws struck directly at Zhang Yi's face.

"Petty tricks, and you have the nerve to show them off to me!"

Zhang Yi gave a disdainful cold snort; he was too lazy to even dodge, merely waving his wing casually.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a gale roared, and Nudi, who had struck first, not only failed to harm Zhang Yi in the slightest but was instead blown away by this "gale" that had arisen from nowhere.

Nudi struggled to steady her figure, barely avoiding a face-plant.

She looked at Zhang Yi in astonishment.

This... how is this possible?

One must know that her previous strike was a blow at the peak of the second rank; even if the opponent had advanced to the third rank, they definitely wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

But why was it that not only was this guy completely fine, he had even swatted her away with a casual move!

Before she could react, Zhang Yi struck with lightning speed, grabbing her and lifting her up as if she were a little chick.

"Little girl, you want to teach me a lesson with just this much ability? You must still be dreaming, right?"

Zhang Yi's playful voice rang in Nudi's ears.

Nudi was both ashamed and annoyed, struggling desperately, but she couldn't break free from Zhang Yi's iron claws.

"Let me go! You jerk!"

Nudi roared.

"Let you go? That won't do, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

Zhang Yi said, throwing Nudi onto the ground.

"Bang!"

Nudi fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain.

Just then, the system's notification sound rang in Zhang Yi's mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a new mission: Fist and Foot Produce Filial Sister!】

【Mission Description: By beating Nudi up, help her strengthen her physique and successfully break through to the third rank!】

【Mission Reward: Refining Points +3, Random Spirit Seed +1!】

Looking at the mission description, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

This system really understands me!

"Little girl, I'm doing this for your own good, don't be ungrateful!"

Zhang Yi said.

The next second, he raised his powerful, muscular claw and began to stomp on Nudi relentlessly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ahhh!"

Nudi was stomped until she was bruised and swollen, screaming repeatedly.

"Stop! You jerk! I'm going to kill you!"

Nudi roared, her eyes filled with the flames of hatred.

"Want to kill me? Wait until you have the ability to do so!"

Zhang Yi mocked as he stomped.

Nudi was filled with unwillingness; she desperately mobilized the spiritual energy in her body, wanting to resist, but found that her body felt as if it were imprisoned, unable to move at all.

Just as she was about to despair, a strange energy suddenly surged into her body, rapidly repairing her damaged physique and continuously strengthening her constitution.

"What is happening?" Nudi was filled with confusion.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yi stomped down one last time, and Nudi felt as if something inside her had shattered; immediately after, a powerful force gushed out from within her.

"I... I actually broke through?!"

Nudi felt the changes in her body in disbelief, her face full of astonishment!

"How is it? My methods aren't bad, right?"

Zhang Yi asked with a smug look on his face.

Looking at Zhang Yi's punchable expression, Nudi wished she could rush up and bite him.

This guy actually used such a rough and humiliating method to help her break through; it was simply a profound disgrace!

As a dignified Nudi, when had she ever been treated like this?

"You just wait! One day, I will make you pay the price!"

Nudi said through gritted teeth.

"Sure, I'll be waiting!" Zhang Yi laughed, completely unconcerned; he didn't take Nudi's threat to heart at all.

"However..."

Zhang Yi paused for a moment before continuing, "Before you have the ability to make me pay, you must listen to me!"

"Now, come with me to find something to eat!"

"Find something to eat? You beat me into this state, and you still have the mind to find food?"

Nudi struggled to climb up from the ground, rubbing her buttocks and hissing in pain.

She glared fiercely at Zhang Yi, her eyes filled with killing intent; if she weren't unable to beat him, she would want to swallow this ugly guy alive right now.

To this, Zhang Yi did not mind at all.

He shook his wings and said nonchalantly, "For a bird, food is heaven; how can one cultivate on an empty stomach!"

"Besides, I just helped you break through to the Third Rank, aren't you going to show some gratitude?"

He rubbed his claws together, staring at Nudi with a greedy look.

"Gratitude? I'll thank your ancestors for eight generations!"

Nudi was burning with rage; if she weren't currently weak all over, she would really want to fight Zhang Yi for another three hundred rounds.

"Sigh, truly ungrateful."

Zhang Yi sighed, looking heartbroken, "Forget it, I am magnanimous and won't hold it against you."

"Who told me to be your brother!"

"Hurry up, lead the way ahead!"

"Why should I lead the way? You clearly..."

Before Nudi could finish her sentence, she was snatched up by Zhang Yi.

"Less nonsense, get moving!"
