Chapter 136 S: Moving Things Up.

  Jing and the rest of the Angels who were staying behind at the sect waved goodbye to Bing, Lei Zhi, and Wan Qing. They jumped on their own personal flying clouds and took off to the skies. Bing's cloud was mixed between the colors black and white. Lei Zhi's had the regular fluffy white colored cloud. Wan Qing's was colored with a myriad of colors that was more colorful than a rainbow.

"So just a simple rescue task... Nice and easy..." Bing muttered.

"Yep! We're going to help someone. No need for any killing or fighting hopefully." Lei Zhi was excited to go on a task that was actually good for once.

"If he needs saving that obviously means he's involved in some dangerous situation." Wan Qing scoffed at the two naïve Qi Gatherers.

"All we need to do is pluck him up and run back home though." Bing brought up.

"That's right. We don't have to fight anyone. Just grab the boy and leave. And if something does go wrong, we can just rip the talisman BLEEP gave us that'll save us from any trouble." Lei Zhi agreed.

"Why do I feel like you two are perfectly fine with taking the guy and then flying all the way back home?" She pinched her glabella, feeling a headache coming on.

"What else would we do?" Bing was clueless on what she was getting at.

"I'm saying, what if the guy we're supposed to bring back doesn't want to come back or be rescued!? What then?" Wan Qing questioned.

"I guess we could help him until he feels like returning?" Lei Zhi figured.

"I hope he doesn't have us fight anyone. When BLEEP explained to us that we're just going to rescue a guy, I expected little to no fights and ample time to increase my qi control." Bing revealed.

"I wish I could be as simple-minded as you." Wan Qing sighed. "My warning for you two is to expect that nothing will go right and prepare yourselves for the worst possible outcome happening."

"The worst possible outcome would be the boy dying, wouldn't it? Isn't that why BLEEP sent us together? Our skills combined should be able to protect anyone." Lei Zhi reasoned.

"Oh, that does make sense. My shield for its defensive power, your medical skills, and Qing's wind-controlling martial arts." Bing explained for himself.

"Hmph." Wan Qing didn't even take note of something like that. She just thought Jing threw them together because they had nothing to do compared to the others.

"Let's just hope this task goes smoothly guys." Bing tried to optimistically boost his own spirits, while deep in his heart already knowing that this was going to end terribly.

"Why wouldn't it?" Wan Qing sarcastically rolled her eyes.

"Oi? What the hell is this? Are you trying to kill me? Are you telling to me die?"

"Quit being stupid. Get in."

"You aren't really trying to get rid of me, are you? What is this thing?"

"It's exactly what it looks like. Now stop wasting time."

"I'm not comfortable lying in something like this. I'm scared of small tight spaces."

"If you don't get in there, I will make you."

"Fine! I'll get in but I won't like it! I'm going to hate every fucking second of it!"

"Gong Jun has completed the task you have given him." Wen informed from the corner of the room.

  Jing covered herself with her bed's cover as she stood up to hear Wen's message. Behind her, Ju Ju's naked figure revealed itself to the world. Her charming nipples stood erect at attention while a large wet spot could be seen stained on Jing's bed. Ju Ju's face seemed lost in pleasure and completely unlike the stoic and adorably cold look she usually has on her face. The pleasures that could be shared between two women was something that Ju Ju could've never experienced if it wasn't for Jing.

"There won't be a second time, Wen." Jing warned.

"I apologize..." The killing intent from her was enough of a warning for him to never do this again.

  This was the girl who could face off against a spirit beast in the Core realm and survive when she was just a Qi Gatherer. He didn't stand a chance against a freak like her. He should also limit his jokes. It turns out coming in someone's home right after their done having intimate relations isn't very funny. And now that he thought about it, why did he think it would be funny in the first place?

"What else is there?" Jing asked with her hair quite frizzled from the long session she just had with Ju Ju.

"Kun Lao has continued to rapidly breakthrough and is now at the 5th stage of the Qi Consolidation realm. His lover, Daiyu, has reached the 3rd stage but at a far slower pace than Kun."

'That's good news for Wan. When she returns, I can gift her SCP-1311 to go deal with Kun Lao and finally complete that mission.' Jing was pleased to hear this.

"Fu Kang has been regularly visiting Princess Lan twice or thrice every week since the end of the Treasured Plains. His cultivation progress is unusually fast but I believe that Princess Lan is sharing more than just her body with him." He chuckled.

"What of Tang?" Jing asked.

"Bingwen was out fulfilling a task for the sect. He has yet to return but Tang has killed an imposter posing as Bingwen. From what I could find out, the kid was a prominent talent within the Huan Clan that told Tang he was Bingwen and foolishly challenged him." Wen answered.

"So I only need to visit Jun. Is there anything else I should know?"

"That girl with the huge sword went into the Fearsome Garden's residence." He remembered seeing on his way to Jing's home.

"Keep an eye on the situation within the Outer Court for a while. If that's everything, you are dismissed." Jing told him.

"Aye aye." He vanished.

"Ying's destruction of the Fearsome Garden should be enough to throw the Outer Court into a small period of chaos. Maybe there will be some benefits that could be gained during that time. But that's after I deal with Jun and his soon to be target, Fu Kang."

[Mission available for host!]

[Fu Kang is not just any random disciple! He's a person of fate whose death is not yet decreed by the heavens! His time was almost cut short by Yue Ying but by a miracle, he survived! However, if you speak to Gong Jun about his involvement with Lan Liu then it is certain he will die before his prime! Choose to reap Fu Kang's heaven-given luck for yourself and earn the ire of a powerful immortal by killing Fu Kang yourself, allow Gong Jun to murder Fu Kang and take his fortune for himself to rise far above where he was destined, or don't allow Fu Kang to die and kill Gong Jun instead.]

[Rewards: Will vary depending on the choice you make]

  Jing wasn't sure what kind of trap this was. At first, Jing believed that the system wanted her to get rid of all persons of fate. In fact, for Wan Qing's mission, it clearly says that she would be tasked with taking their blessings and killing them before they can become unstoppable. But this directly goes against one of the latest mission she's received which was saving a person of fate. It doesn't mention taking his blessing at all just stopping him from dying at this time.

  Were the immortals constantly fighting against each other by using cultivators as their chess pieces? It would make sense considering the deity that gifted Jing her system. She was explicitly told that she was a guinea pig by the immortal's servant. Maybe her actions were all just a game for this being. These missions were just to see how much enjoyment and use she could bring to it.

  This could explain why the mission objectives were all over the place. Perhaps the immortal that gave her the system lost a bet to another and that was why it tasked her with saving Jig's junior brother. Normally Jing's plans revolved around starting some chaos, fulfilling the system's missions for the rewards, or strengthening her position within the Golden Serpent Sect for the eventual takeover and reformation as Sect Leader. The missions from the system seemed to correlate with those goals in some form. With letting her understand that certain people were born with golden halos and unfair advantages over others from the immortals above, Jing immediately understood she had to gain these people under her control or to eliminate them before they could reach their full potential.

  Her system didn't even need to tell her to target these people. Jing's nature was one that couldn't allow such potentially dangerous figures walk around so freely. Figures that had a set time frame in when they would die and blessed with luck greater than a normal person's. Figures that were actively given support from the immortals above to prevent their deaths before reaching their peak. Jing figured that the immortal watching over her must have found some use in her since she no longer had any Failure punishments for screwing up a mission.

'I wonder if I refused to follow the missions at all would the system be taken away from me? Or would the system start to actively go against me...'

[Only with the death of the Host, would the system be ripped away from the Host. The missions going forward can be altered but nothing impossible would be given for the Host's current level of strength.]

'So, you can speak now?'

[I do not have the ability to freely conversate with the Host nor is there any need to. All my functions are working properly and the Host understands most of them. I won't respond again.]

'In what way can the missions be altered?' She asked, ignoring its last comment.

[Mission available for Host!]

[Show your loyalty to the Golden Serpent Sect by giving the Supreme Commander a refined object that couldn't possibly exist in this realm within a month.]

[Rewards: SCP-173]

[Failure: Forced interrogation of the soul by the Supreme Commander and the Sect Leader & Access to the Gacha will be locked]

'This is going to push a few plans up...' Jing's eyebrows furrowed at the mission.
