"Why are you looking at me with that weird look? Is there something on my face?" Cain asked teasingly as he touched his face, pretending to inspect himself.
Yuchen's eyebrows lit up as she didn't realize that she stared at him too much. "Uh, N-no, there's nothing on your face, young master Cain."
She said and immediately looked down, feeling embarrassed.
Cain only nodded in response before sipping the wine and waited for the items to be delivered since Old Feng said that it wouldn't take long.
Around five minutes later, a middle-aged man in his late 50s came and brought the Frozen Spirit Leaf.
Afterwards, not even half an hour later, an old man with gray hair, wearing a white robe, also came in a hurry and handed the Frozen Dewberry to Old Feng before immediately leaving right away.
"All the requested items are here, sir." Old Feng handed a space ring with both hands as he bowed politely.
Cain took the space ring and asked, "How much do I owe for these materials and treasures?"
"They are on the house, sir. You don't need to pay anything for them." Old Feng smiled in response.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave." Cain walked, and before his figure disappeared from Old Feng and Yuchen's sight, he added, "Thanks for these things."
…
Subsequently, Cain went back to the inn and took the two little siblings out of the beast space, as they had been there for a few days.
The moment Ayla was taken out of the beast space, she looked around and found that she was in the room before she was moved to the beast space.
When she saw that Cain was looking at her and her big brother with a smile, she immediately ran and jumped on him.
"Big Brother Cain, you finally let us out. It's boring there because there is only me, my brother, and Nix."
Cain caught Ayla and patted her back. "I'm sorry, Ayla."
Ayla shook her head and looked at Cain with a cute smile on her face. "It's okay. Even if it was boring, at least we were free and safe. So, I'm really thankful to you instead, Big Brother Cain."
Touched by her words, Cain gently stroked her hair. "You don't need to thank me. You're like a little sister to me now. So, think of me as your big brother too, alright?"
Ayla nodded vigorously, feeling overjoyed that someone treated her like this. "Thank you, Big Brother Cain!"
Ayla sobbed as she cried from happiness.
Cain could only hug her and pet her back to comfort her.
Elion only stood there, watching them silently since he didn't want to ruin the moment while clenching his fists tightly.
He thought that if he was strong like Cain, his sister wouldn't suffer for a long time and could live happily like any other little kid.
A minute later, Cain put Ayla down and reminded, "Both of you will stay in this inn with my clone. Don't go outside until tomorrow, okay?"
Cain waved his hand and made a clone, surprising Ayla and Elion.
"Wow! There are two Big Brother Cains now!" Ayla jumped excitedly before circling around his clone curiously as she examined his clone's entire body thoroughly.
"This is my clone, you can assume that he is the same as myself. Because I still have something to do, I'll let him accompany both of you here." Cain explained.
He then added, "Stay here patiently first, okay? Tomorrow I will introduce you to your new friends."
"Really? Will we have friends?" Ayla came in front of him and held his hand with shimmering eyes.
"Of course, we will also go shopping and do a lot of things. So, take a lot of rest and prepare yourself for tomorrow." Cain patted her head softly.
"Yeay! Ayla can't wait to buy candies and snacks." Ayla unknowingly drooled her saliva as her thoughts were filled with things she had always wanted to eat.
After chatting for a little bit more, Cain left the inn and immediately headed towards the previous mountain range.
On the way there, Cain gave the alchemy materials and the treasures to Fenix and ordered him to refine Nix's evolution pill first, as he also gave Fenix a small white dragon scale that was given by the system.
The white dragon scale was filled with the information of how to refine Nix's GrandLord Rank evolution pill.
"System, what is the difficulty of filling my experience now?" Cain inquired.
Not even a second later, Cain heard notifications from the system and immediately checked them.
[Ding! Calculating the difficulty…]
[Ding! You have received the difficulty of normal-level.]
[Normal-level: Kill other living beings, including humans, beasts, etc., until the experience reaches 100%.]
[Restriction: The host can't increase his stats by activating the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline. However, the host is allowed to use his bloodline's abilities.]
[Progression: 0%]
Cain was surprised when he checked notifications, as he didn't expect there would be restrictions.
He also didn't expect that the system included humans in it, as he thought that it would be other races.
He then asked the system, "System, how strong are these targets, and how many do I need to defeat?"
"Figure it out by yourself." The system replied lazily, not bothering to even appear.
However, a second later, when Cain was about to curse the system, it then added, "It's similar to Nix's way of filling his experience. However, your percentage will sometimes be high and low as it will also be randomized."
"I see. Thanks for the information."
Cain then thought about what kind of method and skill he would use to kill his enemies after this.
After Cain was lost in his thoughts for a while, he came back to his senses when he heard numerous notifications from the system, indicating that he had entered the mountain ranges.
Subsequently, Cain instructed Nix to fly around while he was going to scan beasts that he wanted to choose as his first target.
