A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 4: System

Faint morning light seeped through the cracks in the wooden hut, throwing gentle shadows over the room that still simmered with last night's wild passion. Li Feng roused at the subtle rustle of cloth, the whisper of silk against skin, as if serenity was slowly reclaiming its hold.

His eyes fluttered open.

There she stood.

Yue Lan had her back partially turned, draping her silver robe over her shoulders and securing the sash with elegant ease. For a brief instant, the smooth curve of her jade valley flashed pale and enticing. Her peach shifted lightly with her motions, captivating yet detached, like the night's events had left no trace on her spirit.

Li Feng swallowed hard.

He rose slowly, stealing one last hungry glance, then fished out a small pouch from beneath the covers.

"One hundred spirit stones," he announced, getting to his feet and handing the pouch to her.

Yue Lan swiveled her golden eyes his way, took it silently, and tucked it into her spirit pouch at her waist.

As her hand extended, Li Feng's other palm acted on pure impulse. His fingers dipped into the open fold of her robe, grazing the tender warmth of her jade valley once more. He caressed it softly, with deep reverence, like a man savoring a cherished illusion.

She made no move to halt him.

Silence hung between them, taut as a fragile strand.

After some time,

"Our deal is complete," she stated at last, her tone cool as ever. "I’ll be going."

She bothered neither to conceal herself nor to withdraw. Her body seemed mere shell, empty and dismissible, not worth any lingering bond.

Still lost in her lingering warmth and fragrance, Li Feng suddenly stammered, "Can we... do it again? For another hundred spirit stones?"

The words escaped before he could catch them, followed by the harsh reality—he had no more spirit stones.

Yue Lan hesitated.

She regarded him steadily, her golden eyes serene and inscrutable. Then she glanced toward the window, pondering the motes dancing in the beam.

"There’s not much to do before the outer sect tournament," she murmured softly. "I must reach the ninth layer of Qi Refinement to snag a Top 5 spot for the Foundation Pill."

Her eyes met his again. No smile crossed her face, no shift in expression, yet a quiet understanding gleamed there.

"This stays between us. Tell no one."

Her voice remained even, though now a faint edge of caution laced it—not shame over her form, but protectiveness for her standing.

Li Feng nodded swiftly. "I understand."

He found it odd. She had permitted all those brazen acts without a second thought, yet now fretted over word spreading? Did cultivators prize reputation above their very bodies?

Reluctantly, he withdrew his hand from inside her robe, her heat still tingling on his fingertips.

Without further words, Yue Lan departed.

The door latched shut behind her.

Li Feng flopped back onto the bed, her scent clinging to the air like a blooming spring elixir. His body throbbed with sweet fatigue, but above all, he felt bewildered, as though it had all been a heated hallucination.

Then he checked his pouch.

Empty.

Not one spirit stone remained.

All spent.

What was bliss moments ago now slashed like a dagger. Penniless, he was powerless. No pills, no herbs. His cultivation had stalled at the third layer of Qi Refining long ago. He wasn't merely feeble—he was a destitute feeble one.

He balled his fists.

"There has to be a way..."

Yet every path to swift spirit stones demanded strength he lacked. Beast hunts, escort tasks, pill-refining chores—all beyond him.

Just as hopelessness clawed at his heart,

A gentle chime rang in his ears.

Then a shimmer.

A glowing golden panel materialized before him.

[Favor System: Initialized]

[Host: Li Feng]

[Main Function: Earn rewards based on favor and intimacy built with designated female cultivators.]

Li Feng's eyes bulged. His pulse raced. He bolted upright, the blanket tumbling from his legs.

"System...?"

The panel throbbed once more.

[You currently have 1 selection slot. However, due to karmic alignment and compatibility, Yue Lan has been registered for free as your first Favor Target.]

[You may still select one more female cultivator. Note: Designate target under Favor System will be influence slightly with increases affinity and receptiveness toward Host , but does not override free will. In short ,it helps you get closer, not control them.]

[Important: Only actions or gifts perceived as a favor by the designated target will generate Favor Points. Forced actions will not be rewarded.]

Li Feng's mind reeled.

After three decades of deadlock, after endless years of degrading survival, a true system had arrived at last.

Tears welled up nearly as he recalled those endless futile nights, pointless meditation efforts, and spirit stones squandered without gain. And now?

Suddenly, everything fell into place.

The expression on Yue Lan’s face flashed in his mind. That bargain—one hundred spirit stones for a night—she regarded it as an incredible deal amid her plight. A boon from a wealthy man harboring peculiar motives.

It qualified.

A gradual, lopsided smile twisted across his lips.

"This system... fits me perfectly."

The interface flickered gently.

[Notice: Host has given 100 Spirit Stones to Favor Target Yue Lan.][Reward: 200 Spirit Stones and 1 Favor Point acquired.]

Li Feng's jaw dropped open a little.

He swiftly accessed the system menu.

Two choices popped up: [Favor Target] and [Favor Shop].

He selected [Favor Target].

Yue Lan’s name showed on the roster beside one blank slot.

[Target: Yue Lan]

[Realm: Qi Refining, 8th Layer]

[Special Physique: None]

[Remark: An immortal-seeking cultivator with focused determination on the Dao Path. Finds Li Feng’s behavior... unusual.]

Li Feng arched an eyebrow.

"So she finds me odd... Looks like my hunch about cultivators' mindset in this world is spot on."

He closed the profile and entered the Favor Shop. The catalog stunned him.

Items, techniques, talents in alchemy, artifact crafting, formation mastery, charm arts—all displayed like jewels in a display case.

His thrill faded a bit upon spotting the costs.

A mere entry-level alchemy talent required 50 favor points.

He possessed only one.

But then—

[New User Benefit: Host may select one free beginner-level talent.]

Li Feng beamed broadly, baring his teeth this time.

He held back from picking right away. Rather, he meticulously scanned the offerings, eyes gleaming with greed, thoughts spinning wildly.

In time, he fully grasped the system's extraordinary value.

To summarize:

Favor Points accumulated from deeds the target viewed as real kindnesses.

Influence stayed confined to chosen targets for rewards, excluding the wider world.

Favor Points exchanged for cultivation aids, techniques, and talents.

Two slots were his now, with Yue Lan occupying one.

Best yet, this realm's fixation on the Dao deemed these "mortal pleasures" nearly worthless to most... yet a shining opportunity for him.

Li Feng reclined, smirking at the ceiling like a deranged soul who'd unearthed a chest of riches from the muck. Contemplating earning points while bedding such a divine beauty made him grin like a fool in his simple hut.

"Perfect."
