Shen Tianyun is a stage 4 of Qi Gathering Realm now, he didn't expect to have a breakthrough in the last night. When he felt the ma.s.sive energy surged up like a giant tidal wave, he tried his best guiding the energy to attack the blockage and successfully breakthrough stepped into stage 4 of Qi Gathering Realm as a result.

He exhaled a turbid air, slowly getting down from the bed. He clenched his fist tightly try to perceive a newborn strength in his body. Grandma Su had told him that the stage 4 of Qi Gathering Realm is the beginning of the cultivators. They could start to practice martial arts at this stage. Shen Tianyun didn't know any martial arts, he could only rely on Grandma Su. He thought that the system should have martial arts but he has to wait for the shop function first. Thinking about this, he calls out the status windows to check his Fame Points.

『 Host : Shen Tianyun

Age : 17

Cultivation base : Stage 4 of Qi Gathering Realm.

Const.i.tution : 112 (B)

Intelligence : 179 (S)

Perception : 157 (S)

Reflexes : 85 (C)

Fame Points : 237,614 』

He became excited when he saw the number of Fame Points. He hurried to say, "System, I want to unlock the shop function."

『 To unlock the shop function, the system will require 200,000 Fame Points in process. Please confirm your decision again. 』 The system voice rang out in his mind.

"Confirm." Shen Tianyun didn't hesitate at all, he directly confirmed to spend 200,000 Fame Points.

『 200,000 Fame Points have been used. The system will immediately unlock the shop function. 』

『 Unlocking the shop function… 』

『 The process has been completed. 』

『 The shop function has been unlocked. The host can call the function at any time. 』 A series of notification appeared in his mind, Shen Tianyun pays no heed on it, he quickly calls the shop function right away. The transparent window appeared in front of him. There are 7 categories in the shop function.

『 Shop Function

- Food Recipe

- Medical Prescription (Locked)

- Talisman (Locked)

- Martial Arts (Locked)

- Utility Items (Locked)

- Ability (Locked)

- Weapon (Locked) 』

Shen Tianyun was puzzled when he saw the 'Locked' behind others category except for the food recipe category. He asks, "What is this? I can't access all categories?" He was a bit of angry, he has spent 200,000 Fame Points but he can't fully use the function.

『 There are 7 categories and each maiden is bound to one. To unlock a category, the host needs to completely capture the maiden's heart that is bound to the respective category first. For example, the first maiden, Miss Dongfang Xueyue would need to be conquered in order to unlock the food recipe category. 』 The system answered.

Shen Tianyun took a deep breath to calm himself down. Listened to the system, he immediately understood everything. It turned out that each one of the maidens will have a talent related to each category. He suddenly remembered that Dongfang Xueyue is very obsessed with cooking and she is very talented at it. Despite being a princess of the Dongfang family, she always loves to cook by herself. He has witnessed her talent countless times in the past, the foods she made could easily be compared to a master chef in 5-star hotels.

Put his thought aside, he quickly accessed the food recipe category. Countless recipes lining up in front of him. From C rank to S rank, such as [Simple Dried Noodle (C)] will cost him 1,000 Fame Points. When he saw the price of [Heavenly Jade Buns (S)] he was speechless because the price is 2,000,000 Fame Points and this is the cheapest recipe in S rank. Right now he only has around 38,000 Fame Points left, he couldn't buy anything above the B rank, he could only close the windows in disappointment.

Shen Tianyun sighed helplessly before went out to practice his movement technique, 'Mirage Shadow' that Grandma Su once taught him. He is still far away from being a master of this technique. From Grandma Su, he discovered that he didn't have any talent in cultivating at all, whether it was meridian or physique, they are at the same level as normal people. Grandma Su said that it was because he is born weak by nature, however, Shen Tianyun noticed something abnormally from her tone as if she hide something from him. Since she didn't want to tell him, he also didn't try to pressure her. When the time comes, Grandma Su will tell him anyway. That's what he believed.

.........

Arrived in the cla.s.sroom, Shen Tianyun sitting on his seat pondering about his next step. Right now, he urgently needs more Fame Points. He considered opening a channel on the internet and uploading his piano performance video on it to gain more fame. This is the first idea that he thought when he came to this world, but at that time he didn't have any foundation at all. If he wants to build his reputation from scratch, it would take a long time to acc.u.mulate it thus, he denied this idea.

However, the situation has changed now, he already has a pretty solid foundation. His piano performance is well known to the ma.s.s. Therefore, the idea of posting his performance video on the internet world should be feasible.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Xueyue saw him fell into deep thought, she asked.

Shen Tianyun turned his head towards her, "Oh, I'm thinking about how to gain more fame." Lin Xueyue is his most trusted people in this world thus, Shen Tianyun didn't hide anything from her including the 7 Maidens system.

"Why don't you partic.i.p.ate in this upcoming school sports day?" Lin Xueyue suggested.

Shen Tianyun tilted his head slightly, "But there aren't many students here right? I couldn't gain much from it." He was confused by her suggestion. The school is too smaller for him already, he probably didn't gain his fame that much.

Lin Xueyue has a faint smile on her face, "There is a province-level swimming compet.i.tion in the next 2 weeks. If you could qualify to represent this school, you could partic.i.p.ate in it." She explained.

Shen Tianyun's brows perked up, "So you mean that I have to go through the qualification process by competing in this upcoming sports day?" He nodding his head interestingly if he could win another province-level compet.i.tion. There is no doubt, his reputation could go up to the sky higher than before. A piano genius and a top swimmer, the combination of these two t.i.tles could easily bring him more fame. Not to mention that he will open his channel on the internet too.

"When is it?" He asked. After all, he didn't follow the school's matter for a long time now.

"Tuesday, next week." Lin Xueyue replied.

Shen Tianyun nodded, "Thank you." He said warmly.

Lin Xueyue smiled beautifully, she reached out her hand to grab his hand, "Between us, no need to say thank you." Her voice became gentle contrasted to her usual coldness.

Their interaction didn't escape young master Huang Zheng who glaring at them all this time. He gritted his teeth in anger, he couldn't wait to tear this Shen Tianyun into pieces. However, his schemes in the past all end up with failures. Zhou Feng's birthday party this Sat.u.r.day is a great chance for him to wash his shame away. Thinking about this, his angry expression gradually turning into a sinister smile.

"What about this Sat.u.r.day? Are you going?" Lin Xueyue asked she didn't want to force him on this matter if he didn't want to go.

"Go, I don't want you to go alone anyway. Since they prepared a feast for me, how could I refuse it, right?" A meaningful smile forming on his lips. Seeing this Lin Xueyue couldn't help but chuckles softly. She knows that this time Shen Tianyun will return everything to them.

No one has ever witnessed his dark side before. His outer appearance always showing kindness to the people outside, but they never know how scary he was towards his enemy, if not, how could he worthy of the 'Emperor' t.i.tle. In the past, Dongfang Xueyue and Shen Xiaohong are the only two people who have ever witnessed his other side before.

"I also want to see this Zhou Feilong with my own eyes. I hope that he didn't disappoint us." Shen Tianyun said further, his eyes flickered slightly.

"I guess that you won't disappoint. Although he is not the level that we need to aware of if we are still Boss Shen and Boss Dongfang in the previous world. With our resources right now, he could be a good challenge for both of us." She said in a languid voice.

Shen Tianyun only chuckled in response. After that, teacher Li walking into the room and announcing the school sports day event. Shen Tianyun has registered in a swimming compet.i.tion. In his previous life, swimming is his most favorite sport besides basketball. Whenever he wants to relax after work, he will just go swimming. It could be said that his swimming ability already reached a pinnacle level, he is at least on par with the national swimming athletes. He is confident that he could effortlessly get first place in this upcoming compet.i.tion.

.........

In the evening, Shen Tianyun, Lin Xueyue, and Liu Feiyan went to the Rainbow Fragrance restaurant again. This seems to be their common habits already since they would go to the restaurant to have a meal together every day. When they arrived at the restaurant, Shen Tianyun was surprised because the one who welcomes them is Feng Yunxi. She is now wearing a waitress uniform, but the white s.h.i.+rt seems to be smaller than her actual size because it looks unusually tight on her body, revealing her body curves that were about to explode freeing itself from the s.h.i.+rt.

"Dear customers we still…Ah? Little Yun?" Feng Yunxi cried out in surprise when she saw Shen Tianyun, she then looks to the two beautiful girls beside him. She immediately fell into dazed, she lived in the slum area for the entire time, this is the first time she saw a beautiful woman on this level.

"h.e.l.lo, Auntie Feng. When did you move into the inner city? Why don't you tell me at all?" Shen Tianyun asked.

Woke up from her trance, Feng Yunxi hurried to says, "Ah? Erm…I just moved in yesterday. Boss Cai has sent someone to help us moved into a new house." She was stuttered a little.

Liu Feiyan took a step forward, "h.e.l.lo, Auntie Feng. My name is Liu Feiyan, I am Mayor Fang's daughter. And this is Dongfang Xueyue. We are Tianyun's girlfriends." She introducing herself and Lin Xueyue in a relaxed manner.

Feng Yunxi was startled, a sense of inferiority appeared in her heart. A smile on her face became unnatural stiff, "H…h.e.l.lo. So you are Mayor Fang's daughter? And this is Miss Dongfang? Nice to meet you." Her voice contained an obvious hint of sadness. Shen Tianyun was puzzled when noticed this, a ridiculous thought appeared in his mind but he quickly denied that possibility. However, Lin Xueyue and Liu Feiyan looked at her strangely as if they thought of something.

"So this is your first day working here right?" Shen Tianyun asked.

Feng Yunxi nodded, "Yes, Boss Cai says that I should familiarize myself as a waitress first so that I can slowly learning the process and I will have a chance to interact with a customer too." She explained.

"Oh right. Thank you very much, Tianyun. You've helped us, mother and daughter many times already. I don't know how to repay this kindness if you want me to help you do anything just say it. I'll do my best." She has deep grat.i.tude towards Shen Tianyun. If not for him both her and her daughter are probably still staying in the slum for the rest of their life.

Shen Tianyun shook his head, then he points his finger towards Lin Xueyue, "The one you should thank is her, not me. She is the one who arranged everything for you."

Feng Yunxi was surprised, she turned to look at Lin Xueyue and then bowed her head slightly, "Thank you, Miss Dongfang, for helping both of us. If you want me to help you do anything, please don't hesitate to tell me." She said in a gratified voice.

Lin Xueyue hurried to help her up, "No, this is just a small matter. You don't have to do this. I'm willing to help you because you were taking good care of Tianyun and Grandma Su in the past. You can take this as repayment on Tianyun's behalf. You didn't owe us anything. On the contrary, if you need anything please don't hesitate to tell us. We're willing to help you." Her voice was very gentle contrasted to her usual cold voice.

Deep grat.i.tude and admiration appeared on Feng Yunxi's eyes, She nodded her head in response. This girl is very suitable for Shen Tianyun, not only her celestial appearance, but she is also very kind. Feng Yunxi thought.

"Auntie Feng, what's about Sisi now? She didn't transfer to a new school right?" Thinking about Sisi, Shen Tianyun asked. He remembered that Feng Sisi still has 3 months away from a graduate from Elementary school, changing a school in this period of time might affect her study.

Feng Yunxi shook her head, "No, Sisi still study at the current school. She only has 3 months away from graduate so I decided that she shouldn't change the school at this time."

Shen Tianyun nodded, "You should remind her to be more careful if anything happens please contact me as fast as possible." Every time he saw Feng Sisi, he would subconsciously think about Shen Xiaohong. He treated her as his sister just like how he treated Shen Xiaohong in the past. That's why he couldn't help but worried about her.

"I heard that Sisi is very cute, Hehe, I want to see her badly." Liu Feiyan chimed in, she heard Grandma Su mentioned Feng Sisi many times. She was eager to see her by her own eyes.

Shen Tianyun smiled gently, "That's right, Sisi is very cute. I bet that you would immediately hug her when you meet her." His voice filled with tenderness. Lin Xueyue's eyes flickered slightly, she knew what was Shen Tianyun thinking, he probably missing Shen Xiaohong. The group has walking into the restaurant and have a meal together afterward.
