I glanced at my watch; there were less than three hours left before I had to leave work. Going back to work in such a short time would be too much of a hassle.

Let's just go home!

Five minutes later, Shenyue Xingyun returned home.

Ye Cang was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard when she saw him return, and she was somewhat surprised.

"Why are you back so early today?"

"Aren't you busy dating your girlfriends anymore?"

Yes, she's been in Konoha for quite a while now, and Yekura already knows about Shingetsu Seiun's 'illustrious reputation' in Konoha. As for Shingetsu Seiun's girlfriends, her attitude is 'as long as they're not in front of me and bother me,' but she still teases them occasionally.

Shenyue Xingyun wasn't in the mood to talk to her about these things. After saying "Wait for me here for a while," she hurried upstairs.

Chapter 256 Yekura's New Mission

In the bedroom.

Shenyue Xingyun looked at the reward details.

[Enchantment Trait - Noble Phantasm (Lv3): The weapon in your hand possesses the Noble Phantasm trait and cannot be destroyed.]

'This should be the kind of reward I've been looking for,' he thought to himself.

'System, claim your reward.'

Shen Yue Xingyun silently recited the mantra, and the next second, a surge of heat rose from within her body.

It feels similar to the previous two enchantment properties, except that the amount of heat flow is slightly different.

After the heat rose, it circulated in the chest, and then, as if it had determined its direction, it quickly surged into the hands of the Divine Moon Nebula.

With a thought, the longsword from his storage space appeared in his hand.

The hot air flowed in.

Shenyue Xingyun stared intently, the longsword in her hand seemingly unchanged.

After thinking for a moment, he placed his usual high-quality longsword on the ground and then took out an ordinary longsword from his storage space.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to put away the ordinary longsword as well and find the wooden sword that Izumo Kamitsuki used to practice his swordsmanship in the house.

The heat in his hand quickly spread throughout the wooden sword.

Shingetsu Seiun raised the wooden sword and gently slashed it down at the treasure sword.

Logically, the wooden sword should have broken instantly. But the next second, there was a loud 'clang!'

Like metal clashing.

The treasure sword on the ground trembled. Shen Yue Xingyun raised her hand, but there was no mark on the bamboo sword.

"What a wonderful reward!" Shenyue Xingyun thought with delight.

With this enchantment, he no longer needs to worry about his weapon breaking when fighting. He can unleash his full swordsmanship power with any longsword he picks up.

Excitedly, he tried it out many times with a wooden sword, a wooden ruler, and a rice shovel. The 'clanging' sounds kept coming from the bedroom, making Ye Cang, who was watering the flowers downstairs, frown.

"Seriously, what are you up to in the house?"

As Ye Cang spoke, he put down the kettle in his hand, got up, and went upstairs.

upstairs.

Shenyue Xingyun's excitement gradually subsided.

After packing his things, he looked at the new task notification that popped up in the system.

[New task posted: Essential oil back massage (Good skin requires consistent care. Please help Yecang with back massage, at least once a week on average.)]

[Task settlement period: 7 years]

【任务奖励:1、灼遁(Lv3);2、血继合成卡(Lv4);3、机关术(Lv4)】

[Detected advanced task reward recalculation; rewards are cumulative. Recalculating...]

[Calculation complete! Task rewards upgraded.]

【任务奖励:1、灼遁(Lv4);2、血继合成卡(Lv5);3、机关术(Lv5)】

"Beautiful!" Shenyue Xingyun waved her hand excitedly.

Indeed, the most cost-effective approach is to add the rewards for completing tasks ahead of schedule to the next task.

Even if the task takes a long time to complete, it's worth it!

Looking at the mission details, Shenyue Xingyun got up and went out.

As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I bumped into Yecang, who had come to check on me.

What are you doing making all that noise in the house all by yourself?

"Nothing much," Shenyue Xingyun then said, "I went out to buy some things."

"Wait for me at home."

Yekura: "?"

What's wrong with this man? He's so impulsive.

Not long after, Shenyue Xingyun returned home carrying a large bag filled with bottles and jars he had bought.

He didn't know what essential oils were needed for a back massage, so he bought everything he could find.

Yekura: "What are all these things you bought?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "You'll find out once you come with me."

Back in the bedroom.

Under the manipulation of the Shingetsu Nebula, Yekura took her place.

He doesn't need to do anything, because Yekura's original clothes won't be affected.

After arranging the bottles and jars, Shenyue Xingyun rubbed her hands together.

"I'm going to begin."

...half an hour later.

Yekura's back was rubbed red.

Shenyue Xingyun frowned and stood there, stunned, looking at the open bottles and jars scattered on the ground.

'What happened?'

'I've put in so much effort, but the system still isn't giving me a counter?'

Thinking to himself, he asked the system.

'System, will there be a completion notification after each essential oil back massage?'

【Yes. 】

'Then why isn't it here now?'

'Isn't there enough time?'

A few seconds later, a system notification popped up.

The method is incorrect.

Shenyue Nebula was puzzled.

Is the method wrong?

It's just a back massage with essential oils, what's wrong with the method?

I've seen pigs run before in my past life, so my technique is definitely not a problem.

Could it be that I bought the wrong essential oil? But I bought all the ones I could...

Suddenly, Shenyue Xingyun was stunned.

After a moment, he looked at the system's task details again.

Based on the consistent characteristics of the system, we conducted a frame-by-frame analysis.

After a while, his eyelids twitched.

"No way..."

A look of inner conflict flashed in his eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Ten seconds later, for the sake of the Lv5 reward, Shenyue Xingyun decided to give it a try.

Yekura waited for a long time without any movement, thinking it was over.

As she stood up, she said, "I don't know what's gotten into you, but it feels pretty good."

"At least it's much easier than before... Hmm~"

A shadow fell...

……

An hour later.

Yecang gave up on finishing the flower care work today and decided to go downstairs to water the flowers tomorrow.

All I want to do right now is rest.

Shenyue Xingyun went to the kitchen, drank a large glass of water, and then looked at the system panel with a complicated expression.

[Current Task: Essential Oil Back Massage (1 session/day)]

"Sigh!" A long sigh came from inside the room.

Half an hour later, when Izumo Kamizuko returned home from school, he found his house completely devoid of any cooking smell, so he had no choice but to cook for himself.

If my brother doesn't want to cook, he doesn't have to. He's counting on her to teach him swordsmanship. As for Ye Cang... she's my sister-in-law.

Seeing Shinzuki Izumo busy in the kitchen, Shinzuki Seiun was very pleased.

However, at the same time, a thought arose—the house seemed a bit small.
