Clan Cultivation System: Each Breakthrough in My Clan Earns Me Rewards Chapter 35: Zhiyin meets Shen Lexi (Unlock - with Coins!)

Shen Lexi was in the middle of taking care of the manor.

She no longer allowed her son to help her.

She had several excuses to stop him.

First of all, he was Clan Chief.

Second of all, Shen Wenwan was always there to help her.

Third of all, his help wasn’t needed.

Even when Shen Liqian had a little free ti or a break to help with chores, Shen Lexi shooed him away without giving him a chance.

It seed Shen Liqian had co again to offer his help.

Just as Shen Lexi was about to reject him, Shen Liqian summoned the cauldron out of his Storage Ring.

It landed with a loud thud, drawing Shen Lexi’s eyes to it.

Shen Liqian smiled.

"It’s for you, Mom.

"I never had a chance to get you anything good over the past eighteen years, so allow to spoil you and Father.

"It’s a very good cauldron!

"I’m sure you can’t even guess its na!"

Shen Lexi widened her eyes in surprise.

She smiled sweetly.

"You didn’t have to go out of your way to give a present, Qian’er.

"You are more than I could have asked for...

"It’s best you focus on cultivation treasures for yourself and others."

Shen Liqian’s heart squeezed.

In the hard tis when he hadn’t shown any talent, she was there for him and ready to offer him anything.

Now that good tis had co, she still didn’t want anything for herself and would rather see him obtain everything instead.

Shen Liqian’s stomach teed with butterflies.

He walked forward and took his mother’s hand, placing it on the cauldron’s rim.

"It’s your cauldron, and I won’t take ’no,’ just like you will never let take care of the manor itself."

Shen Lexi wanted to argue back, but Shen Liqian’s expression was that of his father when he stubbornly decided on sothing.

She could rarely change his decision when he looked this way.

Now her son was the sa.

Shen Lexi sighed and smiled wide.

"It’s a very nice pot!

"I will be able to make a lot of soups and als for the little ones who co to your cultivation sessions!

"Thank you for such a wonderful present, Qian’er!"

Her smile was that of a pure maiden.

Shen Liqian: (＝⊙＿⊙＝)

Zhiyin:

Soup?

What?

Did she really think this was a pot for cooking?!

Once those thoughts hit Shen Liqian, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Zhiyin burst out laughing upon seeing him this way.

Ahahaha!

It was the first ti he had heard her laugh like this.

Shen Liqian unconsciously craned his neck in her direction and called out to her.

"Zhiyin!"

"Zhiyin?" Shen Lexi tilted her head.

Ah.

Shen Liqian realized his mistake.

However, it wasn’t like he couldn’t weasel his way out of this one.

Before he replied to his mother, Zhiyin suddenly beca visible to her.

Out of nowhere, a crimson cat appeared, startling Shen Lexi.

But the cat looked so adorable, and its fur so smooth, that Shen Lexi was imdiately put at ease when she took a proper look at it.

"I’m Shen Zhiyin, Liqian’s guide.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance."

The cat’s voice was that of a refined and elegant woman.

She arched her neck and looked up, yet Shen Lexi felt as if she were the one looking up instead.

Her deanor and speech were so refined that Shen Lexi didn’t know how to reply.

She eventually said, "Um, nice to et you.

"My na is Shen Lexi, Qian’er’s mother."

Zhiyin didn’t show any displeasure and instead appreciated such a simple introduction.

"That much I am aware of.

"You have raised Liqian into a fine man.

"It is a joy and honor to assist him on his cultivation path."

Shen Lexi smiled brightly before realizing she was conversing with soone so profound.

She clasped her hands over her stomach and bowed low.

"Thank you!

"Qian’er has always been a well‑behaved and understanding child."

Although Shen Liqian had reincarnated with his mories intact, he had grown up in a good household that didn’t curse him at any point in his new life.

His parents always supported him and loved him from the bottom of their hearts.

That was what made Shen Liqian such a considerate chief.

Therefore, it only made sense for Zhiyin to comnd Shen Lexi.

Zhiyin nodded.

"Yes.

"He’s excellent to work with and to watch over.

"I wouldn’t ask for anyone else."

Hearing the two of them speak about him like that felt awkward and strange.

Shen Liqian flushed, his face red.

He kept looking from his mother to Zhiyin, but the two acted as if he weren’t here to begin with.

Once they found common ground, their conversation flowed, and they beca close friends out of nowhere.

"I decided to reveal myself as a courtesy to you and your husband for being so understanding of Liqian.

"Neither of you ever asked him for the details of his enlightennt or what it entails.

"And now, the idea of asking about this cauldron and where it ca from hasn’t crossed your mind.

"Instead, you told him straight not to spoil you but to arm himself instead.

"You’re a great woman, and I see you as a great friend."

Shen Liqian held his breath.

So much praise at once could trouble his mother.

Just as he thought, Shen Lexi stood with tears sparkling in her eyes.

She had no idea how to reply.

Every reply that ca to mind felt inadequate or simply weak.

"Mom..." Shen Liqian whispered, clenching her hand.

Shen Lexi wiped away her tears and looked at Zhiyin.

"Your words an a lot."

She now understood where Shen Liqian was obtaining his profound knowledge, and she couldn’t help but feel happy that it ca from such a great woman herself.

Shen Liqian only hoped Zhiyin wouldn’t suddenly drop "I am a Primordial Empress" out of nowhere, as that would frighten his mother.

Smiling, Zhiyin jumped onto the cauldron’s rim and walked around with feline grace.

"It’s a cauldron for alchemy, Lexi.

"You have a talent for alchemy, and Liqian believes it’s the best among the won of the Shen Clan.

"Bias or not, that doesn’t concern us.

"You can beco a great alchemist to support your family and the clan."

When Shen Lexi heard she could assist her family even while staying in the house, her eyes turned sharp and decisive.

"Please, tell more!"

Zhiyin arched her neck.

"With pleasure."
