Bibi Dong’s expression at this moment was one of utter shock.
She never expected that Yu Xiaogang, her former suitor, would repeatedly obstruct the Spirit Hall from killing Tang San, and in the end, would actually help him completely destroy the entire Spirit Hall.
And then there was her daughter Qian Renxue, whom she had always neglected.
In order to save her, Qian Renxue had fought against Tang San, shattering her divine position as a price, which damaged her spirit soul.
From then on, she was no longer the inheritor of the Angel God, her level was fixed at 89, and she lost the chance to enter the Divine Realm.
“Tang!
San!”
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill him right now.
But she remembered what Chen Muxuan had said.
That guy was the Asura God’s inheritor.
If she recklessly went after him, she would not only have to face his father Tang Hao but also be targeted by the Asura God.
She had already lost her inheritance as the Rakshasa God, and she might even be under that god’s silent watch right now.
She was in a difficult position.
Any unnecessary move might lead to an even worse ending than the original one.
But Bibi Dong was deeply unwilling to accept this.
The mighty Spirit Hall could be destroyed just like that, which filled her with a sense of sorrow and desolation.
And then there was Yu Xiaogang.
Deep down, Bibi Dong still clung to a sliver of hope.
Hadn’t Chen Muxuan said so?
That was the future of a parallel world.
She had already changed, so couldn’t Yu Xiaogang also…
Dawn broke, and the weather cleared up.
The air was quite fresh.
Chen Muxuan slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
Feeling the warmth and softness in his arms, he quickly woke up, released the white-haired girl, and rubbed his temples.
Chen Muxuan remembered that last night he had been sculpting faces in the game, and then he had fallen asleep on the desk after waiting for the client to pay the remaining balance.
Yeah, that client was also a night owl.
Then, he had inexplicably transmigrated.
He didn’t end up contributing to any little girl’s or truck driver’s performance metrics, which he supposed he should feel sorry about…
Yeah, right!
Glancing at the Flame-Chaser on the bed, her white hair spread out messily, and she had a faint, pleasant fragrance about her.
It smelled nice and had a calming, sleep-inducing effect.
Chen Muxuan wasn’t that depraved.
He had just been holding her while resting.
This body pillow was quite comfortable, much better than the one he had bought online.
Soft and fragrant.
So this was what a girl felt like?
Having been single for twenty or thirty years, Chen Muxuan’s calm, placid heart couldn’t help but ripple slightly.
Unfortunately, this one was a system, not a real person.
Even if he won her over, there wouldn’t be much of a sense of accomplishment.
That’s what Chen Muxuan thought.
He nudged the girl before him and said softly, “Wake up!”
He had to nudge her several times before she slowly opened her eyes.
Miss Flame-Chaser slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes and greeting him.
“Ohayou, masuta.
(Good morning, master.)”
Chen Muxuan was speechless.
“Aren’t you the system?
Do you need to sleep too?” Chen Muxuan asked with a soul-searching question.
The white-haired girl couldn’t help but yawn.
“Come on, I’m in a human body now, and I’m in a state where I’ve withdrawn from Herrscher mode.
I need a normal routine too, alright?”
Come to think of it, so this was what sleeping felt like.
If only she could sleep in a little longer…
The system complained inwardly: It was all the master’s fault for getting up so early in the morning.
Chen Muxuan stepped over her and started changing clothes.
Anyway, she wasn’t human, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Chen Muxuan planned to have breakfast and then personally go see that child Qian Renxue.
That poor fool had it rough too, inexplicably falling for Tang San…
And then, she met her end.
One could say that the Spirit Hall’s excellent hand had been played into ruin by these three leaders.
Now, Chen Muxuan intended to intervene and rewrite the ending.
If one asked for the specific reason…
Well, he just couldn’t stand by.
Was that reason good enough?
Chen Muxuan had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but since the Death-Seeking System wouldn’t let him, he would just present himself to the world with the posture of a strong one and make them worship him.
Wasn’t it just showing off?
Which transmigrator couldn’t do that?
Chen Muxuan wore a white hoodie on top, black pants on the bottom, and a pair of shiny black boots.
His freshly washed face, combined with his confident demeanor, made him shine with radiance.
In contrast, that white-haired girl was dressed similarly to him, but she looked extremely lazy and would nod off from time to time.
One could say she really lived up to being a simpleton.
“Hey hey, are you even awake?” Chen Muxuan poked her bouncy cheek.
Miss Flame-Chaser swatted his hand away.
“Don’t bother me.
My head feels fuzzy.”
Her whole body felt floaty, probably from lack of sleep.
It was a rather strange sensation.
When the two pushed the door open and walked out, they saw an old man in robes standing in the open space ahead.
This elder had white hair, but the aura emanating from him was far from ordinary.
Facing Qian Daoliu, who has come to probe for information, the host should respond according to the following options.
A.
Old man, get out of the way.
Scram!
Selecting this option rewards you with Angel God’s equipment.
B.
Kid, why don’t you call me daddy?
Selecting this option rewards you with the Grand Zi-O driver.
C.
Yo!
Isn’t this the father of the密室 Douluo?
How’s your son doing?
Selecting this option rewards you with the Tsukuyomi driver.
D.
Choose nothing and ignore this person.
Selecting this option rewards you with a bowl of tonkotsu ramen.
Chen Muxuan: ???
What the hell were all these things!
Option A was way too disrespectful.
It would be a miracle if they didn’t end up fighting.
Option B went without saying.
He dismissed it outright.
Looking at the first two options, the rewards were actually pretty good.
As for options C and D, the former was courting death in an extreme way, while the latter was just plain ordinary.
Since there had been such a huge commotion last night, even if he chose to ignore the man, Qian Daoliu would definitely come over to investigate anyway.
So choosing D would be no better than picking any of the first three.
The key question was, among A, B, and C, which one was the optimal choice?
Friendly reminder: You have ten seconds to choose.
Glancing at the countdown on the panel, Chen Muxuan quickly made his decision.
Upon seeing this extraordinary young man before him, Qian Daoliu immediately sensed that he was no ordinary person.
Moreover, there was no fluctuation in this guy’s spirit power at all.
Even he couldn’t fathom it, which undoubtedly meant this was a true expert!
The information he had obtained from Gui Mei and Juhua Guan made Qian Daoliu dare not act recklessly.
He simply hoped to get acquainted with this man and secure an additional ally for his granddaughter.
The two locked eyes.
Chen Muxuan walked straight toward him with a playful smile on his face.
“Yo!
Isn’t this…”
He paused to observe Qian Daoliu’s expression.
Sure enough, upon hearing those words, the old man’s face shifted between shades of gloom and brightness.
In the end, he suppressed his emotions and chose to back down.
“Respected Lord Di Qi, since you already know the identities of this old man and that unfilial son of mine, I beg you not to provoke me with words.
This old man already has one foot in the grave, so I have no desire to stir up trouble.”
“You’re more impressive than I expected.
I thought you’d strike without a word, and I was looking forward to exchanging some moves with you,” Chen Muxuan praised.
It seemed the Qian family’s intelligence was still intact.
They weren’t as arrogant as in the original story.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
“Slaughtering all the world’s experts is part of my duty.
But this is no longer my era, so there’s no need for me to make a move against the younger generation.”
Although he said that, Qian Daoliu was silently wiping away cold sweat.
This young man before him couldn’t be judged by age alone.
From their brief exchange, it was clear that he wanted to spar with him.
Without knowing the depths of his opponent’s power, Qian Daoliu dared not act rashly.
If he ended up getting killed, what would happen to his poor granddaughter?
So, he had to endure and hold back.
