While waiting for Mayumi Keiko to start her cultivation path, Chen Li went to the practice site and began practicing the first stage of the Sword Origin Technique, for he wanted to fully master it.
Meanwhile, Sun Xing’er had returned to her human form, and her eyes constantly followed her half-brother’s movements. However, her expression showed she was anxious, mainly after she reported everything to her mother, including about her intimate actions with Chen Li.
After she had waited for quite a while, Sun Xing’er finally got her mother’s reply, and Yue Huang was quite angry after hearing everything. However, she was not surprised by her mother’s anger and reply, for she had expected that she would decide such a thing for her. ‘Sigh, looks like my mom hasn’t told my dad about that, or else he would have called me and scolded me like crazy by now, and he might be coming here to take me home.’
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Xing’er went straight to Chen Li. “Brother, I want to talk to you about a serious matter.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li immediately stopped and turned to her. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
However, Sun Xing’er instead hugged Chen Li and kissed his lips for a moment, and she then explained it to him. “Brother, I’ve told my mother everything, and she decided to marry me to you.”
“Huh?” Chen Li was surprised to hear that, but he didn’t deny that he was attracted to Sun Xing’er. “Why did your mother decide like that? Moreover, she doesn’t know me, so I feel weird about her decision.”
“I know.” Sun Xing’er nodded to him. “However, one rule has been passed down from generation to generation in the Three Realm, especially for us, the Star Goddesses. The first man to see and touch our bodies will be our husband. Since you have seen me naked, and we have already done the intimate thing, my mother decided like that.”
After hearing that, Chen Li raised his eyebrows and hugged Sun Xing’er. “Are you sure you want to be my wife? We’ve only been together for a few days, and you don’t know my true character yet, right?”
“That’s true. However, I will get to know you better after I stay by your side for a while, right? So I’m fine with that.” Sun Xing’er didn’t think much of it, and she thought feelings between them could develop later.
Chen Li sighed softly and kissed Sun Xing’er for some time. “If you have decided like that, I will accept you.”
“That’s great.” Sun Xing’er replied as she smiled, she pressed their foreheads together and muttered something, but Chen Li could hear her words clearly, which shocked him.
However, before he could say anything to her, Chen Li was surprised by a silver glow between their foreheads. Gradually, he felt a strange connection with Sun Xing’er, and it grew stronger with each passing second.
Minutes later, Chen Li was even more shocked as several notifications appeared in his mind.

‘Huh? A hidden mission? And the reward is a mysterious egg? And also, what is this Beast Core?’ Chen Li wondered in his heart after he read everything, and he waited for Sun Xing’er to finish it.
After Sun Xing’er separated their foreheads, Chen Li rubbed her cheek and asked her. “Why did you make a contract with me? This way, you became my contract beast, and we will be bound forever, right?”
“Yes. We will be bound forever, Brother.” Sun Xing’er answered as she nodded. “Honestly, I also find it weird to be your contract beast, but this symbolizes our marriage. Like my mother, she also became my father’s contract beast, and I belong to you.”
Chen Li did not expect that. “Yue Huang is also a beast?”
“Yes.” Sun Xing’er then told him. “My mother is a moon fox, and I am a star fox.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li felt strange about it. “If Yue Huang is a moon fox, how can you be a star fox?”
“Hehe.” Sun Xing’er giggled upon hearing that, and she immediately explained to him. “The moon fox and star fox are actually the same, and the difference is our abilities.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. “So, what are your abilities? But I think one of your abilities is teleportation, right?”
“En.” Sun Xing’er then hugged Chen Li’s arm. “Apart from teleportation, I still have some other abilities, but I can’t use all of my abilities on this planet, or else I will make these people here suffer a lot.”
Suddenly, Sun Xing’er brought Chen Li flying up into the sky, but he was instantly shocked by her flying speed, for her flying speed was too fast.
“Haha.” Sun Xing’er laughed at Chen Li’s expression. “As you can see, a star fox like me can fly very fast, but I still haven’t used all my speed because this place is too small.”
Chen Li took a deep breath and said. “I didn’t expect your flying speed to be so amazing, and you can also use teleportation, so it’s no wonder you can arrive on this planet so quickly.”
Sun Xing’er only smiled after hearing that, and she then used another ability. Soon, another hundred Sun Xing’er’s appeared to fill the sky in the Tianyi Realm, shocking Chen Li.
However, Sun Xing’er’s following words only caused Chen Li to fall further into shock. “Brother, I haven’t fully utilized my illusion ability, so there are only a hundred of them, and I can create a thousand illusions of myself if I use all my strength.”
Chen Li couldn’t say a word to answer his half-sister, and his eyes kept observing the hundred Sun Xing’ers. However, he could clearly see that they were all illusions with the Divine God Eyes, but other cultivators could not tell them apart, for those illusions were truly similar to the real her.
After quite a while, Chen Li returned to his senses but realized he was still weak after seeing Sun Xing’er’s abilities. If not for the strength of his bloodline, he firmly believed that he would not be able to defeat her. ‘Sigh, I’m too arrogant with my current abilities. I won’t be able to defeat my half-sister, let alone kill Sun Taiyang.’
Seeing Chen Li like that, Sun Xing’er pulled his head to her chest and rubbed it gently. “You don’t need to be like this, Brother. I’m already a thousand years old, and I’ve cultivated far longer than you, so it’s only natural that I’m stronger than you now. However, I believe you will become stronger than me in the future, so you need not feel disappointed in yourself.”
Chen Li immediately pulled his head from Sun Xing’er’s embrace. “Thank you, you’ve shown me what you’re capable of, Xing’er. Honestly, I’m not disappointed in myself, and your abilities motivated me to become even stronger.”
Sun Xing’er smiled in satisfaction after hearing Chen Li’s answer; she hugged him again and said to him. “Since I have become your wife now, I will help you become stronger by all means.”
“En.” Chen Li nodded to her.
After that, Sun Xing’er brought him back to the training ground, but Chen Li suddenly asked her. “Do you have some Low-Grade Beast Cores?”
“Eh? How do you know about the Beast Core, Brother?” Sun Xing’er asked in surprise, for she was sure Chen Li had never met any other beasts besides her.
But alas, Sun Xing’er still didn’t know that Feng Xian’er was a phoenix, nor had she met the Taotie, who was constantly hiding in Xiao Hei’s shadow. However, her thoughts weren’t wrong, especially since Xiao Huoli had never told him about the Beast Core.
Chen Li didn’t immediately answer her question and took out the mysterious egg he had just obtained, surprising Sun Xing’er.
Sun Xing’er rubbed and looked at the egg carefully, but she couldn’t see the beast inside. “Where did you get this egg, Brother? Although I don’t know what kind of beast is in this egg, my bloodline feels a bit suppressed by the beast.”
“I don’t know where this egg came from, but I got it from my Master’s storage ring.” Chen Li deliberately said that, for he didn’t want to tell anyone about his system, and Feng Xian’er didn’t know about it either.
“I see.” Sun Xing’er then took many Lower Grade Beast Cores and gave them to Chen Li. “If that’s not enough, I’ll give more to you later, Brother.”
“This is enough for now.” Chen Li immediately stored everything in his system storage, and a notification appeared in his mind.
[You have obtained 200 Lower Grade Beast Cores.]
Without thinking twice, Chen Li immediately bought the beast incubator.
[You have purchased Beast Incubator x1, 5 Low Grade Beast Cores have been deducted.]
Sun Xing’er was stunned after Chen Li took the beast incubator from the system storage, and he immediately put the mysterious egg into it. “Brother, where did you get this beast incubator?”
“As I said, I got everything from my Master’s storage ring.” Chen Li casually replied.
“Hmm?” Sun Xing’er raised her eyebrows and asked again. “So, who is your Master?”
