C4 He Unleashed His Lazy Nature to the Limit
When Zhuang Banxue's maidservant burst into the room in a state of panic, she stumbled upon a rather embarrassing sight. Zhuang Banxue and Wu Zhi were both soaking comfortably in the bathtub.
"Qing, your timing couldn't be better," Banxue said.
"Please add some more water to the bathtub. It splashed all the water onto the floor earlier."
Banxue was overjoyed after signing the contract with the panda, seemingly unconcerned with her current predicament. Wu Zhi, meanwhile, was lounging in the bathtub, his eyes half-closed, appreciating the luxury of the royal bath. He reminisced about his past when he could only bathe in the cool waters of a mountain lake. His skin wasn't as tender as a human's, but he definitely preferred the warmth of a hot bath.
Wu Zhi felt so relaxed that he soon dozed off in the tub. For some reason, since his arrival in this new world, he found himself easily succumbing to sleep. Could it be a trait of his new race?
Upon waking the next day, Wu Zhi discovered he was lying on a plush couch, still carrying a faint scent. He realized he had been sleeping in a bed, which explained the exceptional comfort. Lying there, he made a mental note to secure a soft, cozy bed of his own; he had no desire to return to sleeping on the unforgiving ground. With that thought, he leapt from the bed.
This was his first foray into the human realm of this world, which bore a striking resemblance to the ancient times of his former life. Having signed a contract with the princess, he felt a surge of pride. Eager to explore, he opened the door and started wandering through the palace corridors.
"Host, congratulations on receiving today's signing reward: a Profound Spirit Pill," announced the system as he stepped outside.
Having skipped breakfast, Wu Zhi decided the Profound Spirit Pill would suffice. "System, I'd like to claim both today's and yesterday's signing rewards," he said, ignoring the curious stares of the eunuchs and palace maids. He pretended to pull two Profound Spirit Pills from his pocket and popped them into his mouth. They had a pleasant chocolate flavor.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Banxue was daydreaming in her classroom.
She genuinely had no interest in studying.
To her, the knowledge imparted by those elderly scholars seemed utterly pointless.
It was nothing but a hindrance to her grand ambitions!
However, since signing the contract with the panda, she had shed the restraint she felt upon her rebirth.
Contractors and spirit beasts share a profound bond.
Their levels of cultivation and abilities are mutually accessible.
She had already tapped into the panda's ability - the Dharma Cosmic Phenomenon.
This was a formidable Immortal Art!
Utilizing it would transform her stature and cultivation base.
Zhuang Banxue had not yet achieved Foundation Establishment.
Should she employ the Dharma Cosmic Phenomenon, her cultivation base would leap two levels.
She would ascend directly to the Divine Ruins Stage.
Within the Lee Dynasty, those at the Divine Ruins Stage were pillars of strength.
She could forge Divine Ruins within herself, nurturing both her physical form and Spiritual Energy.
A warrior at the Divine Ruins Stage was truly extraordinary, capable of wielding magic. To the average person, they were akin to deities.
Suddenly, Zhuang Banxue felt an explosive surge of Spiritual Energy within her!
This potent force, channeled through the contract, coursed through her veins and organs, purifying her being in an instant.
In a mere moment, she was on the cusp of reaching Foundation Establishment.
"Has it begun its own cultivation?" she wondered, a chill running down her spine.
The sheer volume of Spiritual Energy was overwhelming.
"Such is the might of an Immortal Realm mutated beast, able to absorb such vast amounts of Spiritual Energy!"
"If it continues to cultivate at this rate, I could refine a strand of Immortal Energy in no more than 360 days!"
She gasped, awestruck by the revelation.
The benefits of the panda's single cultivation session rivaled the effects of ingesting a Profound Spirit Pill!
Zhuang Banxue wasted no time, channeling all the Spiritual Energy into her rare treasure, planning to stockpile it for the refinement of Immortal Energy.
"The price of an Immortal Energy to form this contract was indeed the right choice," she affirmed.
But her elation was short-lived as she abruptly realized the panda had ceased its cultivation!
After just two rounds of absorbing Spiritual Energy, it had stopped.
Zhuang Banxue was growing impatient.
Her curiosity was piqued about what the panda was up to.
She couldn't stand it any longer.
She was determined to check on the panda.
She wanted to encourage it to diligently cultivate!
She dreamed of ascending to the throne of the Immortal Emperor alongside it!
Ignoring her teacher's attempts to stop her, Zhuang Banxue bolted from the lecture hall without a second thought.
"Seventeenth Princess, where are you off to?"
The teacher tried frantically to follow her but couldn't keep up.
In reality, Zhuang Banxue had overestimated Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi wasn't cultivating at all.
He had simply eaten breakfast and taken two Profound Spirit Pills. Zhuang Banxue, however, was under the impression that he was deep in cultivation.
Afterward, Wu Zhi took to leisurely exploring the Imperial Palace.
He found the customs of this world fascinating.
Most importantly, the embrace of the maids was incredibly comforting.
He had no interest in wandering alone.
Having decided against striving for more, he fully embraced his inclination for laziness.
His only slight disappointment was that the maid's bosom wasn't quite as voluptuous as he'd prefer.
Wu Zhi was cradled by Zhuang Banxue's maid, Qing, meandering through the Imperial Palace.
He pointed, and Qing would follow.
Qing found joy in this.
She clung to Wu Zhi, unwilling to let go, occasionally stroking his fur.
Life was blissful.
The early spring months were a tad chilly.
After all, he was just a poor panda, so snuggling into her embrace seemed like the best option.
"Master, look, there's a mutated beast over there!"
"It's actually come out!"
A voice rang out from afar, filled with surprise and excitement.
Wu Zhi glanced around.
If he wasn't mistaken, they were referring to him.
He amiably waved to the innocent young girl in the distance.
"Master, please help me make a contract with it."
"You're so skilled, you can definitely do it!"
