Mirabelle's brain tried to process the information.
But a certain someone kept distracting her.
Pebbles floated in a slow circle around her head.
"Congratulations."
Mirabelle immediately narrowed her eyes.
The spirit sounded far too pleased with himself. At least his animated face looked a little too smug...
Pebbles: "You have successfully acquired a second mate, increased your cultivation level, strengthened your bloodline, improved your future dynasty's survival odds, and unlocked several currently restricted growth pathways."
He paused.
"All within a remarkably short period of time."
Mirabelle folded her arms.
'Thank you?'
Pebbles nodded: "You're welcome."
Another pause. Then: "At this rate, you may eventually become competent."
'What?!'
Mirabelle stared at him.
Pebbles stared back:
"That was a compliment."
Mirabelle: 'No, it wasn't.'
Pebbles: "It was by system standards."
Mirabelle: 'What are your system standards?'
