Chereads / Primordial Harem System / Chapter 21 - Quest

Chapter 21 - Quest

As he was back in his room, he put on his clothes and pondered as he said out loud with a slight smile on his face, "Hmm, with this, the mission is almost complete."

But the system interrupted him as it said, 

"The quest was to receive a kiss from Huo Rong or Bing Rong, not to kiss one of them; the quest is not even close to completing."

Shen Yuan revealed a meaningful smile as he asked, "Show me the quest details."

[Ding!]

[Quest: A Kiss from Huo Rong or Bing Rong]

Objective: Receive a kiss from either Huo Rong or Bing Rong.

Details:

- Quest Description: The system has detected a strong emotional bond between you and both of your aunts Huo Rong and Bing Rong. To deepen this connection and test your charm, the system has issued a quest for you to receive a kiss from one of them.

-Reward: 50 Chaos Coins

-Bonus Reward: An additional 200 Chaos Coins if the kiss is on the lips.

- Time Limit: 7 Days

Shen Yuan looked at the quest as it said, "Oh, I didn't notice the bonus reward for this quest, looks like it will be a bit interesting."

The system spoke again,

[Host is not close to fini-]

Before the system could finish its sentence Shen Yuan replied with a slight smile, "I know what the quest was and I have read the details, it's just you failed to consider the personality of Aunt Huo, she will take it as her loss if she didn't take revenge on me, so most likely either today or tomorrow she will kiss me back."

"Now it is worth looking forward to seeing if she will kiss me on the cheek or lips. Hmm, I'm looking forward to it already."

The system got silent as it indeed failed to consider the character of Huo Rong, but it thought of something and replied in a disdainful voice, 

[I wonder who was all flustered and embarrassed in the bathroom, Host.]

Shen Yuan's smile froze on his face as he didn't expect that the usual emotionless system would target him today; he replied with a doubtful tone, "Hey system, is it just me, or are you showing more and more emotions as time passes?"

[I don't know what the host is talking about; it's only been a day since I found the host.]

Shen Yuan nodded his head thoughtfully as he agreed and just thought that he was overthinking things. He continued, "Don't sweat the small details. I, of course, would be embarrassed since Aunt Huo is such a beautiful woman and I died a virgin in my previous life."

The system got silent at his reply. Shen Yuan also began to think about his next step, since even if he completed the system quest, he couldn't do much with that reward.

"Hmm, I should go and meet up with Mother; after all, I ran away to take a bath after my training; would she ask about my breathing exercise? Hey, system, what do you think? Should I tell her about you?"

The system replied in a lazy tone,

[Whatever you wish, it doesn't affect the system if the host wants to disclose the information, the system is invincible after all.]

Shen Yuan's eyes twitched slightly at the arrogant words of the system, but he put the decision of telling his mother about the system on hold, deciding that he would think about it later.

He left his room, cleanly dressed in a martial artist's robes for training, he went through the corridor, walking towards the training room. 

As he reached the training room, he looked inside to see that Shen Yuxin was sitting on a chair waiting for him; when she sensed his presence, she looked towards him and smiled sweetly. 

She motioned with her hand for Shen Yuan to come closer, to which he obliged and came towards her in a happy mood. Shen Yuxin perceived his happy mood and asked with the same gentle smile while making a chair out of wood for him to sit down, "What made you so happy Yuan'er?"

Shen Yuan flinched as he got embarrassed when he thought about what he was getting all happy about; of course, it was nothing else than his little scene in the bathroom with Huo Rong; he replied rather weakly, "It's nothing, Mom. I was just thinking about my cultivation."

Shen Yuxin smiled knowingly but didn't expose him, she changed the topic as she asked, "So how are you feeling after the breakthrough to Flesh Training Realm?"

Shen Yuan opened and closed his palm as he replied rather energetically, "I'm feeling full of energy with this breakthrough, it's like power is overflowing inside me." His voice filled with excitement as he shared his newfound power.

Shen Yuxin's smile widened seeing his excited expression, but she got serious as she asked, "Now what you need to do is consolidate your cultivation by training with a puppet of similar cultivation level since you also need experience as a good fighter otherwise you would be a flower cultivated in a greenhouse."

Shen Yuan nodded his head as he understood fully that without good fighting experience, he would only be an empty shell of his cultivation level from all the novels he read; he nodded his head as he replied, "All right, Mom, I will listen to your arrangement."

Shen Yuxin nodded her head as she thought for a second and took out a training puppet; it looked like a wooden man; Shen Yuan looked towards Shen Yuxin for an explanation about what this was, "Mom, what is this wooden figure? Is it like a puppet?"

Shen Yuxin smiled and replied, "This is a low-level training puppet. It can withstand up to 10 tons of force since most cultivators at Strength Awakening only have about 5 tons of strength, and after reaching Flesh Training, it is increased to 10 tons. So punch with all your might and see if you can damage it."
