Wen Yan, the male protagonist of the novel *Little Junior Sister She is delicate and soft*.
He was playing the role of a peerless prodigy.
At only eighteen, he had already reached the Early Stage of Nascent Soul.
His cultivation speed was simply heaven-defying.
Yun Fuzhao was silently enjoying the show when the elder on the stage, Elder Bai Zhi, suddenly shouted, “Next, disciple of the Wuya Sword Sect, Yun Fuzhao!”
The shout made her jump.
In the novel, Yun Fuzhao’s aptitude was so poor that no sword was willing to form a contract with her during the Sword Selection Ceremony, making her a laughingstock among Sword Cultivators.
A Sword Cultivator who couldn’t even form a contract with a Lifebound Sword—it was a ridiculously laughable matter.
But what could she do?
She was just cannon fodder.
Her entire existence was to serve as a foil to the talented, beautiful, and kind-hearted female lead, making her nothing more than a background prop.
‘A background prop is a background prop, I guess.
It’s not like I haven’t been one before.’ Before transmigrating, she was the invisible girl in her class.
Teachers couldn’t remember her name, and classmates couldn’t place her face.
She wasn’t even invited to class reunions.
‘In that case, wasn’t I just cannon fodder in my original world, too?’
She lowered her eyes, intending to show just the right amount of dejection.
Unfortunately, her features were too striking, so instead of looking sad, she looked like she was about to turn villainous.
After holding the pose for a moment, just as Yun Fuzhao was about to go on stage, a sound suddenly rang in her ear.
DING!
[The Great Power Live Streaming System has been delivered!]
Yun Fuzhao’s pupils trembled.
‘Well, I’ll be.
The obligatory cheat system for every transmigration story has finally arrived.’
[Hello, host.
I am the Great Power Live Streaming System 001, responsible for connecting the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm.
It’s a pleasure to serve you.]
Live streaming.
Yun Fuzhao knew all about it.
During her time as a shut-in, she couldn’t find a job and was afraid of starving to death, so she had tried live streaming for a while.
When it came to dancing, she was as stiff as a board.
As for singing, she was completely tone-deaf.
The day after one enthusiastic stream, her landlord warned her that keeping chickens and ducks in the apartment was not allowed.
After looking at her options, she chose to stream herself sleeping.
Literally.
She would lie under her covers and sleep soundly, and the audience would watch her sleep soundly.
And believe it or not, for a stream that crazy, some people actually donated.
But back to the matter at hand.
This Great Power, Upper Realm live streaming system was completely outside of Yun Fuzhao’s area of expertise.
The Upper Realm, according to this novel’s setting, was the place where Ascension Great Powers went.
Attaining immortality and living for eons was the ultimate goal of all Cultivators.

“Yun Fuzhao!
What are you standing there gawking for?
Hurry up and form a contract with your Lifebound Sword!”
Standing beside the Water Mirror, Elder Bai Zhi’s face was filled with displeasure.
He had long heard that the eldest disciple of the Wuya Sword Sect was a good-for-nothing with Five Spirit Roots who, at her age, had only reached Foundation Establishment.
He already found her contemptible, and seeing her just stand there blankly made a nameless rage rise in his heart.
His tone was exceptionally impatient.
Yun Fuzhao shot him a look.
‘This damn old man.
When Yu Nian’er showed up late earlier, he certainly didn’t have this attitude.
His voice was so gentle it was practically dripping with honey.’
‘A clear-cut double standard.’
Yun Fuzhao strode onto the stage.
She really wanted to spit at him but gave up the idea, afraid she couldn’t win a fight.
On the other side of the Water Mirror was the Sword Tomb, where thousands of famous swords were stored.
Some of the swords’ masters had died, while others had achieved Ascension.
For those who died, the sword’s contract would be dissolved, and it would return here.
As for the Great Powers who achieved Ascension, they often used more than one sword, and any treasure sword retaining their Divine Sense would share in their master’s glory.
Even though Yun Fuzhao had transmigrated here, she had no desire to practice Cultivation, nor did she want to choose some Lifebound Sword.
She had been a total couch potato who would lie down if she could sit, and sit if she could stand.
Her only daily exercise was rolling over from one side to the other.
Forcing her to practice Cultivation was like asking for her life.
She just wanted to find a quiet place to lie down and live out her days.
‘Besides, I’m not supposed to get a Lifebound Sword today anyway.
This cavern is huge; walking through it would be exhausting.’
So she picked a clean-looking spot and plopped right down.
The crowd outside: “…”
“Did Yun Fuzhao just give up?
Well, with her aptitude, it’s debatable whether she could even form a contract with a Lifebound Sword.
It seems she knows her own limits.”
“This is hilarious.
Isn’t the Wuya Sword Sect embarrassed?
If she were in my Sect, I’d be too ashamed to show my face for the next month.”
Elder Bai Zhi was furious.
He sent a voice transmission directly to Yun Fuzhao inside, “Yun Fuzhao!
Do you think this Sword Selection Ceremony is a joke?!
Go find your Lifebound Sword at once!”
His roar made Yun Fuzhao’s eardrums ache.
She stood up, her face grim, and seethed with impotent rage for a moment.
She looked at the nearest longsword.
Its appearance and aura were both very ordinary.
Even its name was ordinary: Ordinary.
‘Hm, pretty good.
Suits me well.’
“Want to form a contract with me?”
In her vision, the longsword actually trembled with disdain.
‘Huh?
Seriously, does it have to be so disgusted with me?
My aptitude is a bit lacking, and I have Five Spirit Roots…
okay, fine, the disgust is justified.’
“HAHAHAHAHA!
My stomach hurts from laughing!
Did you all see that?
Yun Fuzhao just got rejected by a sword!”
“HAHAHA!
That’s definitely the biggest joke I’ve seen all day!”
“The Wuya Sword Sect is really something else.
Their two disciples are worlds apart.
If I were Yun Fuzhao, I would have left the Sect long ago, gone to the Human World to find a good family to marry into, and saved myself the public humiliation.”
Even Hou Feiyu couldn’t help but let a mocking smile show.
Yun Fuzhao really was a good-for-nothing.
A bona fide Sword Cultivator, rejected by the worst of swords.
“Senior Sister is a girl, after all.
Being mocked by so many people, she must be heartbroken,” Yu Nian’er said, her face full of sadness.
“If only I could form a contract with a longsword on her behalf.”
“She’s so thick-skinned, it’d be a miracle if she felt hurt,” Hou Feiyu said, looking at Yu Nian’er.
“Besides, Junior Sister, why are you worried about her?
Have you forgotten how she humiliated you just now?”
“Second Senior Brother, I’m sure Senior Sister didn’t do it on purpose.”
Hou Feiyu sighed and ruffled her hair fondly.
“You’re always so kind.”
Yu Nian’er’s face flushed red.
[This is infuriating!
These loose-tongued Cultivators!
This old man truly wants to go down there and give them a sound beating!]
Yun Fuzhao was unaware of the scene outside and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a line of text floated into her vision.
‘Is this the live streaming system’s barrage comments?’
[You Ziqian has tipped one Divine Sense.]
A glittering golden object that looked like a rocket flew up before Yun Fuzhao’s eyes.
‘Well, I’ll be.
The tips even have special effects.’
‘But…
why does that name sound so familiar?’
Yun Fuzhao searched her memory for a moment.
‘Wait, I think Yunding Sword Venerable’s name is You Ziqian.’
Yunding Sword Venerable, the first Sword Cultivator to achieve Ascension, possessed immense power.
The sword moves he created before his Ascension were priceless in the Cultivation World.
He was the goal that all Sword Cultivators strived to reach in their lifetime.
It was said that the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect became one of the current Half-step Ascension Great Powers in the Cultivation World only after cultivating his Void Breaking Dragon Roar Fragment.
Suddenly, all the longswords in the Sword Tomb began to tremble.
One by one, they broke free from their bindings and flew to Yun Fuzhao’s side.
They were like puppies that had just spotted a meaty bone, wagging their tails frantically at her.
It was as if they were saying, “Pick me!
Pick me!”
The people outside were completely stunned.
“What is going on?”
Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable old man, Elder Bai Zhi, was dumbfounded.
He had been in charge of the Sword Tomb for several hundred years and had never seen so many treasure swords vying to acknowledge a master!
Yun Fuzhao was also completely bewildered.
Before she could even react, a treasure sword suddenly flew into her hand.
The moment it arrived, all the other treasure swords fell silent.
This treasure sword was a faint cyan color from hilt to tip.
Its hilt was embedded with a blood-red gem, and a faint red line, like a vein of blood, ran from the hilt all the way down to the point.
Yun Fuzhao could even hear the faint cry of a dragon from within the sword.
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Is that the Wuji Sword of the first Sword Cultivator, Yunding Sword Venerable?!
For hundreds of years, no one has been able to form a contract with it.
That sword is arrogant and wild.
A Great Power at the Body Integration Realm once tried to form a bond with it and was mercilessly rejected.”
[You Ziqian: For Fu Zhao’s Lifebound Sword, of course she must have the best.]
‘What’s with that doting tone?’
