Prince of Wealth in a Cultivation World

The aura around Xiao Meili became so dense that the sky darkened and turned fiery as her whole body was engulfed in flames.

Noir and Big Huang could only watch, unsure of what had happened to Xiao Meili. As a last resort, Noir turned to the system, hoping for answers. "System, can you tell me what happened to Xiao Meili?"

[System]

Xiao Meili

Cultivation: First level Qi Awakening

Bloodline: Phoenix bloodline (grade: ???)

Noir read the information displayed by the system, his eyes widening when he saw the bloodline section. "The Phoenix bloodline!"

"Is this the reason for her sudden transformation?" Instinctively, he looked at Big Huang. "Can you show his stats?"

[System]

Huang Min

Cultivation: First level Qi Awakening

Bloodline: Giant Orca bloodline (grade: ???)

"Giant Orca bloodline? So, he has bloodline related to giants! Well, no doubt about it." He glanced at Big Huang, who had always been much bigger than those around him.

He then shifted his gaze from Big Huang to Xiao Meili. "It's understandable that her bloodline is related to the Phoenix, and seeing the change she brought about during her awakening, her bloodline must be high-grade, and so must Big Brother's, but..."

"System, show my status."

[System]

Noir

"What about mine? Why is there no grade, and why wasn't there any commotion during my awakening?" he asked, but this time, the system didn't respond.

Seeing no reaction from the system, he changed his question. "At least tell me how to control this situation?"

[System]

[Master doesn't have to take any action. Until the awakening process of Xiao Meili, the bearer of the Phoenix bloodline, is complete, no one can interfere. After it's completed, things will return to normal.]

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the village as the atmosphere became so intensely fiery that it threatened to burn down the inn, and soon, the entire village.

"What's going on?"

"Who is that woman?"

"Imm... immortal, that must be an immortal."

There were all sorts of people in the village, but as soon as Xiao Meili's floating, burning body rose to a height where everyone could see her, the villagers began to kneel.

"Immortal!" "Immortal!"

Some prayed for their lives, while others prayed for good fortune. Those kneeling on the ground saw the fire grow even more intense, threatening to tear apart the sky and paint it a fiery red.

Just as the sky began to rumble with red lightning, the mortals were so shocked that they knelt with their heads bowed, praying for their lives.

The commotion in the village grew so loud that it reached distant places. But then, things began to change. The fire surrounding Xiao Meili's body began to diminish, though it didn't completely die out. It remained, covering her body, as her clothes had all been burned to ash.

Slowly, her body began to descend gracefully, and as she landed on the remaining roof of the inn, she opened her eyes and looked around, shock evident in her expression. Then, her eyes met Noir's.

Noir noticed the changes in her. Her black hair had turned red, as had her eyes. The aura surrounding her had become intimidating, but seeing the expression on her face, Noir sighed, realizing that despite the dramatic transformation, she was still the same woman he knew.

"Little sister!" Big Huang was the most emotional of the three, and he began to tear up as he saw her. Xiao Meili came down and was about to hug them both when Noir stopped her.

"Wait... wait... not like that. First, put something on," he said, pulling back the sobbing Big Huang, who had forgotten his own injuries and was now worried about Xiao Meili.

"Oh!" Xiao Meili blushed and ran towards another room that, miraculously, hadn't been too badly damaged. Her old clothes, the ones Big Huang had given her, were still there, so she went to put them on.

"Little brother, what happened to little sister?" Big Huang asked, looking at the destroyed inn.

"Let her come back," Noir replied, sitting on the remaining part of the bed, which was half-burnt and destroyed by Xiao Meili. "We'll discuss everything together when she returns."

Even after the commotion subsided, no one approached the inn, which relieved Noir. Though He had been waiting for the inn owner, wanting to compensate him for the damage, but for some reason, the inn owner didn't appear.

Xiao Meili returned, dressed in her old clothes. Her eyes were fixed on Big Huang. "Big brother, how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling great!" he replied, a smile on his face, though his eyes were still wet. "I can feel energy coursing through my veins. Let's see who dares to oppose us now!"

Noir hugged him, and seeing them embrace, Xiao Meili joined in. "the energy in your body is Qi," Noir explained, pulling out a basic Qi cultivation manual and handing it to Big Huang.

"Brother Huang, this will help you understand what cultivation is and how it works. With this, we'll begin our journey to immortality," Noir said but Big Huang didn't accept it. "Then give it to little sister. I'll learn it later."

"No, Big brother, I don't need it," Xiao Meili refused. "I don't need it because I have something in my mind that's equivalent to the basic Qi cultivation manual."

Noir and Big Huang looked with wide eyes. Xiao Meili explained, "When I was up there," she pointed towards the sky, "I felt like I was inside a shell, and then I saw something as if it was already known to me, and that was the knowledge of cultivating."

"So, you don't need this?" Big Huang asked, then looked at Noir. "What about you, brother? Did you also have the same experience?"

Noir shook his head with a silly smile. "No, brother, only she is privileged, the Queen of Heaven," he joked.

"Brother!" she playfully punched Noir, who laughed. "Okay, okay," he said. "I don't need this as I've already memorized it, so you can have it. But..." he whispered, "make sure not to let anyone know about this."

Big Huang nodded, hugging Noir and Xiao Meili tightly. "Cough, cough, not that tight, you titan god," Noir joked again but his joke cut short by the heavy sudden laughter.

They looked up and saw a figure standing in the air, looking at the trio with amused eyes.
