Chapter 53

After finally clearing up Geng Peng's misunderstanding, Wang Qi hurried to the dining hall. Due to the delay with Geng Peng, there were far fewer people in the dining hall. Wang Qi first looked around and saw the familiar orange hair in a corner. After getting his dinner, he carried the food tray and walked over to Mao Zimiao.

Mao Zimiao was sitting with another girl who had long silver-gray hair. The two girls were playing a game of touching each other. In Wang Qi's eyes, this was... a waste of talent.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Wang Qi sat opposite the two girls, "Hey! Can I join your game?"

Mao Zimiao protectively covered her ears and hugged her friend's head, "No way! You can't touch!"

The other girl broke free from Mao Zimiao's embrace, "You're A Miao's friend, Wang Qi, right?"

Half-demons, due to their nature, always have various speech habits. Wang Qi found this normal. He nodded, "Yeah, I'm Wang Qi."

"Heavens! I finally get to meet you in person!"

Wang Qi was startled by her reaction, "Am I that famous?"

The girl nodded, "There aren't many geniuses who can break through to the Heaven-Transcending stage before entering school! And not everyone is at the Qi Condensation stage now! A Miao is already very impressive!"

The beast-eared girl was still at the Heaven-Transcending stage.

"Right, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Wang Zhenqi!" The girl looked very happy, "From A Miao, we're friends now!"

This girl is too friendly, isn't she? Wang Qi looked at Mao Zimiao in confusion. Mao Zimiao explained, "Qiqi's bloodline makes her like this."

Hearing this, Wang Qi couldn't help but look at Wang Zhenqi's ears. Mao Zimiao quickly tried to protect her friend's ears. Wang Zhenqi's eyes flashed with a mischievous glint, and she bypassed Mao Zimiao, bringing her head close to Wang Qi, "I heard you really like our ears?"

There weren't many people in the dining hall, and the noise was minimal. Wang Zhenqi's shout attracted the attention of many new disciples. Wang Qi felt as if thorns were pricking his back.

What the heck is this "public enemy" look all about!

Wang Zhenqi continued, "My ears aren't as sensitive as A Miao's! How about letting you touch them?"

"Qiqi!" Mao Zimiao screamed, staring at Wang Qi with a look that said, "If you agree, I'll turn on you." The others' gazes also intensified, turning into "Oh my, there's a pervert here."

Wang Qi admitted that he was a bit tempted. However, Mao Zimiao's and the others' gazes made his sense of shame sting. He coughed and quickly explained, "Ahem, I was just curious about what kind of half-demon you are..."

Wang Zhenqi looked a bit disappointed, "Eh? Really? So you can't touch dog ears? You did that to A Miao on your first meeting..."

What the heck, explain yourself! I see a few Law Enforcement officers looking over here!

"That's what I'm saying! I just want to know if you have dog ears or wolf ears!"

"Dog ears! Qiqi's ancestor was a Beiming Snow Dog King who joined the modern Daoist sect during the chaos of the Nine Demons a thousand years ago."

Beiming Snow Dog... Why does this remind me of a certain cute and clumsy creature on Earth that's actually very powerful...

Wang Zhenqi was still feeling a bit down, "I just wanted to thank you on A Miao's behalf... A Miao is too shy to do such things..."

Mao Zimiao quickly covered Wang Zhenqi's mouth, "Qiqi!"

Wang Qi found this a bit surprising; so cat people and dog people can get along!

At this, Mao Zimiao looked at Wang Qi and then turned her gaze away, "It's not my idea, Qiqi is just making assumptions!"

Oh, so you're a hidden tsundere!

After saying this, Mao Zimiao let go of... spit, let go of Wang Zhenqi. The dog-eared girl said, "Actually, I really appreciate what you did at noon! If A Miao had acted impulsively, it would have been very awkward for us half-demon disciples, and A Miao's dream of entering the Spirit Beast Mountain of Tianling Ridge would have been hindered!"

Wang Qi smiled, "It's no big deal. But speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you."

Mao Zimiao pouted, "Xiao Qi, you only think of us when you need something!"

Wang Qi said, "About the Alliance Merit Points, how exactly do you earn them? Is there a way to get a large amount quickly?"

Mao Zimiao and Wang Zhenqi exchanged glances and spoke simultaneously, "Is your head broken?" "If there was such a good method, would we be doing menial tasks for a month?"

Wang Qi sighed, "Alright, alright... Do you have any Merit Points? Can you lend me some?"

Mao Zimiao hesitated, "How much do you need?"

"About a thousand."

"You're crazy!" "Are you joking?"

The half-demon girl stood up, "We only have five points combined."

Wang Qi sighed and explained, "Here's the thing, last night when I was meditating, a senior suddenly appeared from the void..."

The two girls' faces were full of "Are you kidding me?"

"These days, no one believes the truth... Anyway, a Transcendent senior gave me guidance and told me to exchange for the books on this list."

Wang Zhenqi glanced at the list and covered her forehead, "Ouch! Headache!"

Wang Qi was surprised: Could Senior Xi have left some kind of spell on the paper that only I can see?

Mao Zimiao looked at Wang Zhenqi helplessly, "Qiqi, you really need to brush up on your math. You can't get a headache just from looking at a math book."

"We're both the same,"

Due to the busy schedule after school started, the two girls hadn't paid much attention to this aspect. They only knew that "Merit Points are important" from their elders.

However, Wang Qi did get some useful information.

To earn Merit Points, one needs to go to the main or branch office of the Alliance and input a breath into the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror. This breath will form a mark in the "Merit Register" in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion. Only after completing this procedure will the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion record your Merit Points.

So, you need to register to get points, Wang Qi complained.

The two girls didn't know more specific details. So, he decided to ask some more advanced cultivators after the evening class.

Among the cultivators Wang Qi was close to, the highest cultivation was Xiang Qi and Su Junyu, both at the Foundation Establishment stage. Su Junyu came from a prestigious family, and Xiang Qi always called him a dead tycoon, so they probably never worried about such things. Therefore, it would be best to ask Xiang Qi at the alchemy room.
