However, under her gaze, little wimp's face slowly reddened, stuttering, "In... In any case, you have touched... touched me. My dad said, a man must be upright, so... I will take responsibility. Along our way here, I have already decided that, if I happen to get selected, I will definitely bring you along!"

Zhu Yao was even more mystified. This little wimp couldn't be referring to... her smacking his buttocks, right? Because she touched his buttocks, he decided that he had to take responsibility? For a moment, Zhu Yao was at a loss of words. Little wimp, at such a young age, you actually have such a large hole in your brain. Does your parents know about it?

"In... In any case, I will definitely not throw you aside!" Little wimp stamped his feet, and he began to look even more awkward.

Zhu Yao suddenly felt like teasing him a little. "Then, what will you do if you did not get selected?"

The little wimp startled for a moment. Scratching his head, his small lips evidently began to pout unhappily, as though he was a little discontented with her distrustful attitude. He snorted, "If I had not been selected, I would still take responsibility. Once I grow up, I will definitely marry you." Before Zhu Yao could even feel moved, he raised his head, looked at her, and added another line, "As my concubine!"

Bloody hell! I really feel like beating him up so badly, to the point his mother won't be able to recognize him! As though little wimp knew that she would get angry, he turned around, sprinted off and squeezed into the bunch of kids on the stage. He even turned back and made a face at her.

Zhu Yao clenched her fists, and endured. Little wimp, just you wait. After this, I guarantee I won't beat you to death. Taking a few deep breaths, she calmed her emotions down. Looking down to the stage below, the queue did not look like it would be decreasing any time soon, as there were even more people joining in. However, the number of children staying on the stage, were still not as many.

Including little wimp, there were still not even ten of them. It seemed like children who possess Spirit Veins were extremely small in number, giving a rough estimate, not even one in a hundred possess one. And, among them, children with Tetra and Penta Spirit Veins made up a larger number.

Looking at the floating ball at the side, Zhu Yao could not help but grow a little curious. Not only could it float by itself, it was able to change in color. Earlier, when little beggar touched it, it was green and gold in color, while it turned red when little wimp touched it. She wondered what color it would be if she were to touch it.

Out of curiosity, she stretched out a single finger, and poked it. In an instant, multiple colors began to spiral within the ball. Green, blue, gold, orange, and red. Five different colors instantly filled the entire ball.

"Penta Spirit Veins." The middle-aged man in-charge of the test, noticed her small movement, but was not angry at all. There would always be parents who could not contain their curiosity, and wanted to test for their own Spirit Veins as well. He had already grown accustomed to it. And this person was the lady who brought the talented boy with the Heavenly Spirit Vein, naturally, he would not fuss about it. She even possessed Spirit Veins as well, but unfortunately, it was the worst Penta Spirit Veins, and she was already at such an old age, even if she were to start cultivating now, her prospects of becoming a deity were hopeless.

Hearing "Penta Spirit Veins" from him, Zhu Yao sighed. She was after all, someone who crossed over from another world. She thought that she would possess some overly exaggerated, heaven-bending Spirit Vein, but it was actually the worst Penta Spirit Veins. It seemed like the peasant life was still the most suitable route for her to take. But God sure was petty. Why did he not give her a Spirit Vein that's a tad bit special!?
