The notification sound struck Fang Zhe’s heart like lightning. He froze. Then slowly lowered his head to look at the system panel. — Host Status: Fang Zhe Occupation: Personal Bodyguard System Points: 0 Charisma: Level 1 — Young Master Handsome Aura of Shange City — “What?” His face stiffened instantly. “WHAT?!” He immediately jumped up from the bed. “System! Did you steal my points?!” DIIIIIING! ‘The host voluntarily upgraded Charisma.’ “Voluntarily my ass!” he snapped. “I JUST TOUCHED IT!” DIIIIIING! ‘Touch confirmation has been considered as consent.’ The veins on his temple throbbed. “One hundred and fifty points… That was the result of my hard work this afternoon!” ‘Investment in appearance has long-term benefits.’ “Long-term benefits? I’m a bodyguard, not a contestant in some handsome face competition!” The panel remained blue. Cold. Without guilt. Fang Zhe paced back and forth in the small room. “Level 1 Charisma… Young master handsome aura… What is this even for?! To charm mosquitoes in the garden?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Side effects: increases attractiveness, authority, and positive social responses.’ “Positive social responses?! I need points, not applause!” He pulled at his own hair. “This system is truly a top-tier scam…” DIIIIIING! ‘The system appreciates expressive hosts.’ “Shut up! Don’t respond again!” The room fell silent again. Fang Zhe finally chose to sit on the edge of the bed. His chest rose and fell. All his points were gone. No increase in reflexes. No increase in endurance. Observation technique not purchased. Medical still costs five hundred points. The only thing that improved… was his face. He looked at the small mirror on the wall. Then paused. A few seconds passed. “Huh?” His eyebrows slowly raised. His jaw looked sharper. His gaze more intense. His skin clearer. Even the line of his shoulders appeared more proportional. A faint aura somehow made him feel… different. “Is this… me?” He stepped closer. “This doesn’t make sense…” But the next second, his expression hardened again. “No matter how handsome I am, my points are still zero!” He threw himself back onto the bed. “I have to work tomorrow… and I don’t even have any upgrades.” He closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his voice sounded low. “System…” No response. “If you try to scam me again, I’ll destroy all your missions.” Only silence answered him. Fang Zhe let out a long breath. Today had been far too long. Shange City. Erina. The Medicine Pavilion. A mysterious system. Lost points. Strange charisma. Even offending the young master under Lord Ryan. His life had truly changed. Within minutes, his breathing became steady. And for the first time since returning to this city… He finally fell asleep. — Morning. Sunlight pierced through the curtains. Fang Zhe slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he stared at the ceiling. Then remembered everything. “Not a dream.” He got up and walked to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he put on the work clothes neatly prepared in the wardrobe. A well-fitted black suit. A clean white shirt. A thin blazer tailored for elite bodyguards. Polished black leather shoes. As he buttoned his suit… He looked at the mirror again. And froze. That aura was now more obvious. His posture was straight. His gaze deep. His jaw sharp. Even his expression unconsciously exuded calm authority. No longer the poor young man sitting at a bus stop yesterday. But a young man with the aura of a noble young master. “This is the effect of Charisma…” he muttered. He took a breath. “Well… at least it’s not completely useless.” Tok. Tok. A knock sounded on the door. “Guard Fang, Miss requests your presence in the dining room.” “Understood.” Fang Zhe opened the door and walked down the hallway. His steps were steady. His shoulders firm. His gaze straight ahead. Several servants he passed unconsciously paused. They exchanged glances. “Why… does Guard Fang’s aura feel different today?” “He looks like… a young master from a great family.” Fang Zhe didn’t notice their stares. He entered the dining room. And there, Erina was already seated at the main chair. She wore a soft cream-colored formal outfit, her long hair neatly flowing. In front of her was a simple yet elegant breakfast. When the door opened, Erina lifted her head. Her gaze froze instantly. For a split second, her eyes truly stopped. Fang Zhe stood upright at the doorway. Morning light from the large window cast his silhouette. His jawline sharp. His gaze calm yet deep. The subtle authority that was barely there yesterday now felt real. Not just handsome. But refined. Erina even forgot to lower her teacup. Her heartbeat unconsciously skipped. “Fang Zhe?” Her voice was slightly softer than usual. Fang Zhe walked forward and stopped one step behind her chair. “Good morning, Miss.” His tone was steady. Low. Controlled. Erina blinked once. Something was different. Not just his face. But his charisma—his presence—was truly different from when they first met. A quiet yet powerful confidence. She straightened her back again, trying to regain her professional expression. “You… look different today.” Fang Zhe slightly raised his eyebrow. “Different?” Erina paused for two seconds before replying. “That suit suits you better.” Fang Zhe let out a long breath internally. “Thank you, Miss.” But before the atmosphere turned awkward— DIIIIIING! A notification sound suddenly echoed inside his head. Fang Zhe’s heart nearly jumped out. A blue transparent panel appeared at the corner of his vision. — NEW MISSION DETECTED! Category: Medium Mission Target: Increase CEO Erina’s affection until initial emotional interest appears Time Limit: 30 days Failure: Host loses 200 points in the next mission Reward: +500 system points — Fang Zhe’s gaze froze again. His eyes remained straight ahead, but inside— “WHAT?!” He almost choked on his own breath. “Increase… what?!” His hands, which had been calm behind his back, nearly clenched. “System, have you gone insane?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Mission aligns with strategic relationship development.’ “Strategic relationship my ass!” He forced his expression to remain unchanged in front of Erina. Make the CEO like him? He was a bodyguard. Not some cheap romance drama actor! And moreover… the person in front of him was Erina. CEO of the Medicine Pavilion. Intelligent, cold, and clearly not someone easily charmed. “Five hundred points…” he recalled, making his heart pound. 500 points meant he could buy Basic Medical Proficiency. “But this is social suicide!” he screamed internally. Erina was still looking at him. “You seem… a little tense.” Fang Zhe snapped out of his thoughts. “I’m fine, Miss.”

The escalating quarrel between Su Yin and Fang Zhe came to a sudden halt. Su Yin, whose fingers were just reaching into her spiritual stone storage pouch, froze in her tracks, while Fang Zhe slowly lowered the hands he had been using to beg for a loan.Both turned their heads simultaneously, staring at the silver-robed youth with narrow eyes in utter bewilderment—as if they had just witnessed a madman suddenly leap into the middle of the street.Even Ling Yin, usually calm and composed, raised an eyebrow, gazing at the shimmering Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stone atop the dingy table with a perplexed expression.The old merchant swallowed hard, his eyes bulging at the Heaven-Grade Stone—a sum capable of purchasing an entire treasure shop in this courtyard. "T-this... a pure Heaven-Grade Stone?! Y-young Master... you are truly throwing this away just for this piece of rusted scrap iron?!"The youth clad in silver-embroidered silk smiled with even greater arrogance. He snapped his jade fan s

"One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones?!"Hearing the absurd figure come out of the old merchant's mouth, Su Yin’s eyes instantly widened. Without wasting a single second, her delicate fingers darted like lightning—ZRAAP!"A-AWWW! Su Yin! It hurts, hey! Let go, let go!" Fang Zhe grimaced, twisting his head frantically to follow the 180-degree turn of Su Yin’s relentless grip on his ear."It hurts, you say?! Where on earth is your brain installed, huh?!" Su Yin raged, her face flushed red with rising anger. Her sharp eyes glared back and forth between the wincing Fang Zhe and the slyly smirking old merchant."I’ve told you over and over that this place is full of cunning scammers! And you... you actually walk up to the dingiest stall to grab a piece of rusted scrap metal that isn't even fit to chop firewood!" Su Yin twisted her grip even tighter."One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones could buy two pure Earth-Grade weapons back at the Sect! Yet you want to hand them over to t

Before Su Yin and Ling Yin could reply, Fang Zhe had already turned around and strolled casually down the airship's stairs. Hands clasped comfortably behind his head, his saunter was so relaxed that one would think the Bao Clan's outer courtyard—currently filled with arrogant geniuses—was nothing more than his own backyard playground."Tsk, that guy truly can't stay still for a single second!" Su Yin grumbled, stomping her foot in annoyance. Nevertheless, she and Ling Yin quickened their pace to follow closely behind him, ensuring he wouldn't get into trouble.The moment he merged with the sea of cultivators along the main avenue paved with white jade tiles, Fang Zhe's eyes lit up. This was his very first time stepping into the bustling center of the Immortal Realm, having previously spent his days only in the relatively isolated environment of the Virgin Valley Sect."Insane... absolutely insane," Fang Zhe muttered, his gaze sweeping over the vendor stalls neatly lined up along the c

The standoff on the airship deck ended in an awkward silence. Under the Sect Master’s stern instruction, the Elder of the Hall of Punishment immediately activated the ship’s propulsion formation to maximum capacity. The protective barrier vibrated violently, cleaving through the sea of clouds at lightning speed and leaving that perilous zone far behind before the Main Leader of the Black-Winged Bandit could even realize the slaughter that had taken place.One Month Later....A month passed without any significant hindrances. Throughout the journey, no other bandits or enemies dared approach the airship of the Virgin Valley Sect. The tense atmosphere aboard the vessel gradually softened, though the minor bickerings between Fang Zhe and Su Yin continued to serve as entertaining diversions for Ling Yin and the elders.Until one bright morning, the thick blanket of clouds ahead slowly parted, revealing a breathtaking vista that made everyone catch their breath."We have arrived..." murmur

The icy aura emanating from the Immortal Snow Soul Ice Sword suddenly peaked to an extreme level. The air surrounding the Sect Master of the Virgin Valley froze like a crystal mirror, right before she swung the Emperor-Grade sword in a remarkably graceful and effortless sweeping motion.SRRRRRSHHH—!It was no ordinary slash, but thousands of icy sword shadows shaped like giant lotus petals blooming in the middle of the sea of clouds. Golden and purple lights intertwined, cleaving through the sky at a speed surpassing the limits of the naked eye."NOOOOO—!"The Bandit Leader and the remnants of his men didn't even have time to flee or beg for mercy. The moment the wave of lotus-ice slashes crossed their bodies, their screams were cut short instantly.In a matter of seconds, the bodies of more than a dozen formidable bandits were chopped into fine ice crystals before completely shattering into glowing dust, swept away by the night wind. Not a single drop of blood remained; not a single

The sea of clouds surrounding the airship suddenly split apart by brute force. Bone-chilling air rushed past as the shadow of a colossal ice palm—the size of a mountain—descended from the highest heavens, pressing down with crushing force!"Madness! Formation! Hold the line together!" shouted the Bandit Leader, his eyes bulging in sheer panic. His confidence shattered into a million pieces in an instant.More than a decade of Five-Star Sky Fighter bandits channeled every drop of their blood-red Qi. Thick threads of crimson energy swirled rapidly, forging a massive blood-skull shield in the air to block the assault from above.Yet, before the absolute power of a King Fighter at her peak, their efforts were nothing more than a spiderweb trying to stop a falling boulder!BOOOMMM—!A violent impact shook the sky. The blood-skull shield held for less than a second before fractures of ice-blue spread across its surface.KRAAAGGH—!With a deafening explosion, the Blood Slaughter Formation th
