"And don't let anyone bully her."
"Don't worry, she's still a member of the Xia family."
"That's all for now, goodnight."
"Forget goodnight, let's go online and play some games!"

Inside another treehouse.
Xiangling was sitting on the bed, talking to Guoba.
"Guoba, I have another junior sister now."
"Woo!"
"My junior sister looks quite cute."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"It's just that my junior sister doesn't seem to be very outgoing. As her senior sister, I definitely need to take good care of her and help her."
"Woo!"
Xiangling took out a novel from under her pillow; it was a romance novel about a master and his apprentice written by Zhu Zi.
"Alright, it's time for bedtime reading again. Where did we leave off yesterday?"
"Woo!"
"Page 132! Guoba, you have such a good memory!"
"Woo!"
A dozen minutes later, Xiangling, her face flushed and a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, closed the book.
"It's really good, but we've already read this book several times. Let's go find Zhu Zi tomorrow and urge him to update it."
"Woo!"

Inside the treehouse next door.
Qiqi sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing a magic technique.
At one point, she opened her eyes and frowned slightly.
She realized that her mind was somewhat unsettled.
This made her practice tonight less smooth.
There are distracting thoughts in my mind.
Qiqi raised her head and looked in a certain direction outside the window.
It doesn't matter that the master has gained another disciple, the main thing is that the new junior sister seems to have a very good relationship with the master. She can not only call the master "Dad", but also take a bath with him...
It's really unpleasant to be overtaken by someone else...
It was obviously me first...
Qi Qi withdrew her gaze, took out the small key, held it in front of her chest, and began to silently recite her master's name.
A great deal of pure faith power emanated from her body and flowed into the key.
A short while later, Qiqi opened her eyes.
She could feel that the key in her hand was completely full.
She can transform into a magical girl whenever she wants.
She hesitated for a moment, then did not attempt to transform, instead putting away the key in her hand.
Let's tell Master about this tomorrow.
It wasn't that she wanted to use this opportunity to improve her master's favorability; it's just that her master seemed somewhat interested in this matter, and as his disciple, she definitely had to satisfy him...
Then, Qiqi took out a piece of incense from her ring and lit it in the incense burner beside her bed.
Smoke swirled around, and a strange, calming fragrance filled the air.
Qiqi took a light breath, feeling all the distracting thoughts in her mind instantly vanish.
She closed her eyes and continued her cultivation.

inside the room.
Xia Zhi lay on the bed and took a platinum treasure chest from his inventory.
This was something he had previously obtained from Charlene.
Choose to open directly.
A somewhat worn wooden fish appeared before him.
【Pure Kindness Wooden Fish】
Quality: Platinum.
Type: Assistive devices.
Characteristics: Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.
Effect: Each strike of the wooden fish automatically grants one point of merit; there is a daily limit to the amount of merit this item can provide in this way, and the more good deeds the user has performed, the higher this limit becomes.
Hidden effects: Charm +5%, Luck +10%.
Recyclable: 1000 points.
Xia Zhi looked at the wooden fish in his hand with a somewhat surprised expression.
This is actually an item that can automatically accumulate merit.
While the concept of merit may seem mysterious and ethereal, it is actually of little use to most people.
Just like Liu Yun Zhenjun, when Xia Zhi first met her, he used the [Detect Evil] spell on her and found that the merit aura on her body was frighteningly bright, but she still ended up in such a dangerous situation because of the testing mechanism.
Another example is Bai Shu. Xia Zhi once used the [Detect Evil] spell on him in his dream and found that the merit aura on his body was very bright. He also suffered from all kinds of diseases and was on the verge of death because he used the secret method of exchanging lives to save people.
If it weren't for Xia Zhi's help, even if these two had accumulated a great deal of merit, their final outcome wouldn't have been good.
Conversely, Xia Zhi chose to save Liu Yun and Bai Shu because he saw so much merit in them and believed they were worth saving.
From this perspective, Xia Zhi seems to be the result of good deeds that brought good fortune to her and him... and good deeds seem to be useful.
However, this kind of use is a bit too passive.
Xia Zhi picked up the wooden fish and gently tapped it with a small hammer.
Accompanied by a faint golden light, the wooden fish emitted a clear and soothing sound.
Xia Zhi felt as if his heart had been soothed, and he became incredibly calm.
This effect reminded him of Bodhi bead bracelets.
Buddhist ritual implements seem to possess this special ability to calm the mind.
At the same time, Xia Zhi heard the system's voice ringing in his mind.
"Due to the influence of the [Pure Goodness Wooden Fish], the host's merit points have been permanently increased by 1 point."
Xia Zhi took the small hammer and tapped the wooden fish again.
Another system notification sounded.
"Due to the influence of the [Pure Goodness Wooden Fish], the host's merit points have been permanently increased by 1 point."
Xia Zhi continued tapping, all the way to the nineteenth tap.
The wooden fish stopped emitting a faint golden light, and the system notification in Xia Zhi's mind finally stopped ringing.
Xia Zhi stopped tapping.
In other words, this item can provide him with 18 merit points per day.
not many.
However, its advantage lies in the fact that it is very easy and stable to obtain.
If he continues like this, day by day, even if he stops doing any good deeds, he will still have as much merit as Liu Yunbai, or even far more than her and him.
Unlike the other two, merit is useful to Xia Zhi.
Because he possesses the passive skill "Auspiciousness," the more merit he accumulates, the higher his luck bonus becomes.
He learned this skill from Gan Yu.
Xia Zhi lowered his head in thought.
In comparison, Gan Yu has done far more good deeds over the past few thousand years than him, which means that if this item were in Gan Yu's hands, it would provide far more merit points per day than his 18 points.
Therefore, the most suitable owner for this item should be Gan Yu.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi smiled.
