The next morning, Li Feng went about his usual life—lazily sitting in his yard, basking in the morning sunlight, accompanied by his foolish bear who preferred to sleep than act as a guard. Xuanchuan Village was peaceful, and life like this was quite satisfying... if only he weren't so poor.
The system in his head kept promising abundant spirit stones, but the reality felt like waiting for the sky to fall just because pigs could fly.
Ding!!! [Super Dragon Task: Aunt Long's eyesight is deteriorating. Your task: Go to Aunt Long's house and offer her the Super Glasses from Xuanchuan Optical.]
Li Feng sighed deeply. "Ah, this stupid system always wants me dead. Please…"
[If the host ignores the task, the system will not provide toilet paper in the Xuanchuan Store.]
Li Feng's eyes widened. "Damn it! Your threats always target the vital parts of life!"
With a complaint, Li Feng got up and walked away, leaving the comfort of the morning he had just started.

When Li Feng arrived at Aunt Long's house, it stood quietly among the fabric fields and piles of thread. A small, colorful house, with a shabby wooden door and windows surrounded by flower pots. In the yard, an old woman was sweeping slowly.
"Hello, Aunt Long!" Li Feng called, waving his hand.
"Oh! Mr. Li! Long time no see," Aunt Long replied with a warm smile. "What brings you here, Mr. Li, to an old woman like me?"
Li Feng put on a serious expression—something rare for him. "Aunt Long, your eyesight has been getting blurry, right? Coincidentally, I have Super Glasses. Only 10 spirit stones."
Aunt Long chuckled softly. "Mr. Li is so considerate. But, this old woman doesn't need such luxuries."
"It's not good to refuse," Li Feng quickly interjected. "You often cross the busy streets. Blurry eyesight could be dangerous."
Aunt Long paused for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Alright, Mr. Li. I'll go get the stones."
After the transaction was completed, Li Feng left Aunt Long's house with a satisfied smile.
As soon as Li Feng disappeared around the corner, Aunt Long immediately put on her glasses. As soon as the frames touched her face—her eyes lit up! A dense spiritual aura exploded from her body.
A bright light enveloped her house, leaving the neighbors stunned.
"Breakthrough?! Aunt Long just reached Foundation Level 2?!"
Aunt Long looked up at the sky, tears in her eyes. "Mr. Li is truly amazing... acting like an ordinary person, yet secretly elevating the strength of those around him... Mr. Li... you are like a god!" she shouted loudly.
On his way back to Liyun Mountain, Li Feng noticed something unusual in the grass. A small cat, with dark gray fur, was lying there, its body dirty and its legs wounded.
"Shit, you look pitiful... like a cat that just got neutered," Li Feng mumbled. "Alright, since I'm a good-hearted person, I'll heal you."
He opened the system and accessed Xuanchuan Health Store.
Ding! [Transaction Successful: Cute Animal Healing Bandage – 2 Spirit Stones]
The bandage wasn't just any item. Its material was as soft as heavenly silk, radiating a warm healing light. As soon as it touched the wound, the blood stopped, and the skin began regenerating.
With patience, Li Feng wrapped the small cat. "There, you're safe now."
The cat mewed weakly. Its eyes started to shine.
"Shh... don't thank me. And don't even think about following me. I don't want to take care of you. Go back to your owner... or go to the afterlife, it's up to you."
Li Feng turned and walked away.
"Damn… I missed my classic drama this afternoon on Xuanchuan Stream," he muttered.

A Few Moments Ago... Behind the Grass
Her real name was Lei Baiyu, the Saintess of the Devil Beast Clan in Dongfu Forest.
She had fled the forest, escaping her father, who had gone mad from power. Her father's army chased her all the way to the mountains. In a fierce battle, she was severely wounded. Desperate, she transformed into an ordinary cat to hide.
"Damn... they won't chase me all the way here, will they?" she hissed. "Stupid... why did I go this far…"
As her consciousness started to fade, she heard footsteps and... the sound of a foolish, out-of-tune song.
"A human?" Lei Baiyu gritted her teeth. "If he gets closer, I'll kill him!"
But... the man healed her. Without hesitation. Without fear. Even cursed her like a street cat.
"Meow... meow... meow..."
The sound that came from her mouth wasn't a devil's curse, but... a pure meow.
After the man left, Lei Baiyu's body began to tremble.
Her dantian pulsed! Spiritual Qi exploded wildly!
In an instant, she broke through to Foundation Level 4!
The bandage... wasn't an ordinary item. It was a Heavenly Treasure!
"...A hidden expert?" Lei Baiyu shivered. Her eyes narrowed. "I must... follow him."
"Wait, father, I'll avenge the humiliation I've received."
Meanwhile, in his yard, Li Feng sat back, relaxing, watching his favorite classic drama.
"Achoo!" "This potato chip seasoning really makes my nose runny…"
