After breakfast, I headed back into my room with the rabbit in the cage.
It had been calm when it was with Lin Li Zi and the other girls, but now it seemed nervous when it was with me alone.
Was this rabbit that kind of rabbit?
I did remember hearing that rabbits had very short breeding cycles…
Maybe it was a bad idea for me to choose this rabbit as a bodyguard for my little sister?
"Host, the rabbit is a female. Please stop thinking strange thoughts."
I couldn't help jolting and almost jumping up on the spot when I heard this.
It was almost like I had been caught doing something inappropriate with how I was acting.
With an awkward look on my face, I couldn't help asking the system, "How do you know that it's a female."
There was no response from the system.
There was a strange look that was on my face, but the system made that go away by saying, "Host, please focus on the task at hand."
After calming down, I asked, "What do I need to do?"
"Host, please exchange for the Profound Cleansing Pill from the daily shop and feed it to the rabbit."
I opened up the system panel and looked through the daily store as the system had suggested.
This daily store was something that I had opened up after the first main mission, but there were no items that were in it because I didn't have any cultivation.
The system had explained that the items in this daily store would refresh based on the level of cultivation that I was at, so it was only now that it had items that seemed like they were worth something.
I couldn't help being distracted by the various items that were there, but I soon found the item that the system mentioned and exchanged for it.
I pulled the pill out of my system storage space and I had to say that I was disappointed.
After all, it was just a normal looking pill that didn't seem special at all.
No, with the strange brown colour that it had, it looked like it was worse than a pill. It almost seemed like it was a pill that expired with the strange brown colour that it had.
I had to ask the system, "Are you sure that this is the right thing?"
The system didn't say anything as it waited for me to feed the pill to the rabbit.
So in the end, I went over to the rabbit and put it on my palm to feed it.
To my surprise, the rabbit didn't hesitate at all as it ate the pill out of my hand and it looked like it even enjoyed it a lot. When it finished with the pill, it looked at me with a begging look like it was asking for more.
I was completely taken aback when I saw this and I didn't know what to do at first, but the system said, "Feed it three more. It still needs three more before it can transform."
"Huh?" I couldn't help saying out loud as a confused and doubtful look appeared on my face, but the system didn't explain anything as it waited for me to do this.
So in the end, I exchanged for three more of these pills and fed them to the rabbit.
After it finished eating these pills, the rabbit suddenly fell flat on the ground of its cage and stopped moving.
When I saw this, I immediately panicked as I asked the system, "What's happening to it? Did we poison it with those pills?"
The system calmly said, "Host, please calm down. The rabbit is currently evolving because of the Profound Cleansing Pills. Once it finishes evolving, please continue by giving it the following items from the store."
A screen appeared in front of me and I could see that the items that were on this list were all items in the daily store.
I was about to say something until I realized that my point value had actually gone up from those four Profound Cleansing Pills.
The daily store worked in a way that it had certain items stocked each day and I had a set amount to spend. Rather than it being a count of how much I had to spend, it was more of a count of how much I had to spend in the daily store.
At the same time, the items that I bought from the daily store couldn't be spent on myself and had to be wasted like a prodigal would.
If I could spend all of the points each day, then I would be entitled to a special reward from the system.
Before I could ask anything, the system said, "Host, using these items on the rabbit is considered a waste since these items are all of a higher grade than the rabbit. Please do not hesitate to do this."
Since the system had even confirmed it, there was no need for me to hold back!
After all, this was a perfect way of killing two birds with one stone, so there was no need for me to hold back!
I wanted to see just how powerful I could make this rabbit.
When it woke up, it looked at me with a scared look when it saw me standing over it.
The rabbit pressed itself up against the bars of the cage and waved its hand at me as if it was saying, "Don't come over here!"
I couldn't help being surprised when I saw the rabbit acting in this manner since it even seemed human with how it was acting.
The system explained, "The Profound Cleansing Pill has activated spirituality for the rabbit, so it has intelligence comparable to a human."
My chin dropped in shock when I heard this, but I then gave a satisfied nod.
After all, if this rabbit was as smart as a human, then it would make the perfect bodyguard.
I guess that was why the system had said that it was a candidate for a bodyguard, it had the potential to gain spirituality from these pills.
Now it was time to make it stronger.
So with a smile on my face, I pulled out the things that I bought from the store earlier and came closer to the rabbit before saying, "Don't be scared. I just want to give you a few treats."
The rabbit's eyes filled with tears when it saw me like this, but eventually it fell to the ground and spread its arms and legs out.
With the way that it was laying there, it was almost as if it was saying…
"Burn me or cook me however you want!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this.
