Chapter 1: Special Selection, Nine-Tailed Empress! The Golden Thunder Descends

There was a chorus of crying in the hospital room from all the delicate beauties.

My name is Luofanchen, I had a minor... medical mishap.

It's okay, not a big issue.

Well, except I'm on the brink of death.

At a time like this, I have no idea who the hell decided it was a good idea to call all my girlfriends.

To strike me while I'm ill? Are they really trying to finish me off?

Damn them!

Currently, my head is resting on a pair of smooth, snowy legs. The owner of said legs is a fearsome yet adorable, doe-eyed maiden tears streaming down her face.

By the bedside, a Black-silk-clad sexy femme kneeling on the ground, pleaded loudly, begging me not to die.

"I want to live!"

"I'm still young, I don't want to die!!"

A strong will to survive was raging in Luofanchen's heart.

Suddenly,

The door to the hospital room opened.

"Fan Chen, Fan Chen!"

Four tear-streaked beauties came running in. The room seemed to light up instantly, but my heart was plunged into darkness.

"Two can be managed."

"But six?"

"Oh... Well, forget it. Might as well not live and suffer."

"Just die!"

"King Yama, take me away quickly, don't dawdle. Just die!!"

In the face of the foreseeable turmoil, some people are physically alive, but their spirits have already died.

Shutting his eyes and giving a last kick, Luo Fan Chen's consciousness sinks into darkness amidst the sobbing.

【Oh! Dear dashing host, would you like a wife?】

In the void of darkness, Luo "A Piao" Fan Chen suddenly hears an odd voice.

"I'm dead!"

"But it seems like I'm not completely dead yet?"

"Could this be the system they talk about in legends?" Luo Fan Chen was greatly shocked and surprised.

【That's right, it's me.】

"What did you just say?" Luo Fanchen asked.

【Great host, do you want a wife? As long as you give the word, I can send her right to you.】

"What a weird system."

Luo Fanchen had read quite a few novels so he wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of a system, but his seemed a bit… non-serious?

Is this something to be tossed around!?

What if I'm sent to my girlfriend's bed and her husband happens to return home? What then?

He'd have to die yet again, and this time take another with him.

"But God has given me a second chance at life, I have to make use of it. At this point, saying 'No' for the sake of posturing could actually mean my real death."

【Respected host, may I inquire if the wife you've lost is the noble, prestigious, female Pope, or perhaps the cold, enchanting maiden?】

"Ah, this..." Luo Fanchen was stunned.

【May I ask if the wife you've lost is the cute, playful princess, or perhaps the hot, bewitching noblewoman?】

"Stop messing around, how has it changed again?"

【May I ask if the wife you've lost is the ice-cold dragon lady, or perhaps the enchanting, troublesome nine-tailed fox empress?】

Luo Fanchen chuckled, was this even a difficult choice to make?

Only children make choices, adults go all-in...any hesitation, even for a second, would be disrespectful to the system.

"Everything, thank you!"

Luo Fanchen smiled and said, "As your 'supreme' and 'noble' host, this small request shouldn't be too difficult, should it?"

The system was silent, this operation left it dumbstruck. It had never seen such a shameless person.

【……】

【May I ask, host, are you polite?】

Luo Fanchen immediately apologized: "Sorry, that was a bit too greedy of me. How about just three then?"

【???】

The system: I feel insulted. You were given the choice, yet you continue to bug out here?

Luo Fanchen pleaded, "As a mature system, you should learn to handle these bugs for your host."

The system: Do you heed others' words at all?

【Due to the host's exceeding selection time, randomly confirming targets...】

【Confirmed targets: Femme fatale, the enchantress that captivates all, the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, Su Jiu Er.】

【Choose additional rewards: The spotlessly pure Immortal Body, the Eloin's Martial Spirit with the greatest potential in the tens of thousands of years!!.】

【Detected attempts from beasts wanting to seize your charming and fickle demon empress wife, she urgently needs your rescue, so begin the traversal immediately.】

【Destination: Soul Martial Continent.】

"Hiss--"

"You, thick eyebrow and big eyed system, look pretty honest. You're setting me up for beastman romance?"

"Boom!"

Before Luo Fan could finish his spit take, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and disappeared into the dark void...

Soul Martial Continent.

"Roar--"

A dragon's roar shakes the sky, as an ugly three-headed demon dragon spews out destructive dragon breath.

Its purple-black wings spread out like mountains, its entire body emitting a blood-thirsty aura. A beautiful figure is swept by the dragon's breath and falls towards the earth.

"Su Jiuer, be my demon queen willingly, and I'll spare your life."

"In your dreams!"

The beautiful figure gets up and gives a charming cry.

She's a breathtakingly beautiful and stunning tall beauty.

Her blue eyes are like ancient glaciers. Clad in a white fox fur that covers her voluptuously sexy body, she had nine snow-white fox tails on her back. Her bare snow-white jade feet stood unpolluted on the ground, her ankles adorned with golden bells.

Her blue eyes conveyed a cold, unwelcoming aura. Yet, her entire body exuded an astonishing charm that seemed to suck one's soul away.

"Su Jiuer, stop pretending to be tough. You're no match for me."

The grotesque three-headed dragon slithered saliva out of its mouth, which corroded the ground, emitting a hissing sound.

Su Jiu'er's face was as cold as ice, fresh blood leaking from her mouth, biting onto her pale lips with a deathly grip.

Her icy gaze was fixed on a seductive woman next to the dragon.

There was anger, disbelief, but mostly melancholy.

The woman stepped forward, smiling alluringly, "Su Jiu'er, my dear sister, don't blame your sister for poisoning you, I'm only doing it for your own good."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to serve the great dragon lord together with me?”

Su Jiu'er, in her fury, shut her eyes; her delicate body trembling. Then opening her eyes, she asked,

"Why did you betray me?"

"Betrayal?" the seductive woman smirked, "Consuming the dragon lord's saliva, his dragon essence, can help me purify my bloodline and pass the beast tribulation."

"Following the dragon lord can grant me the power to control soul beasts. What can I gain from following you? To hide in these green hills, waiting for the thunder calamity to strike me dead?"

Su Jiu'er never imagined that this intimate sister of hers would poison her, leaving her in this miserable state.

She didn't blame others, only herself for having trusted this person too much.

She remained silent, without cursing or questioning.

Her silence was heart-wrenchingly sad.

The dragon transformed into a sinister man, and the seductive woman voluntarily nestled into his arms.

"Sir, my dear sister won't last much longer. She drank all of my poison wine without any guard up, giddily giddy."

"Very good, how despicable, well done, this king approves." The three-headed dragon laughs triumphantly, eyeing the irresistible beauty with riveting allure and an insurmountably enticing figure. Its mouth waters with desire.

Its been coveting this vixen's body for too long.

Today it is finally at hand's reach.

Excitement makes every cell of its body shudder.

Su Jiuer clenches her slender, porcelain fingers tightly, her heart filled with despair, indignation, and unwillingness. Her frosty yet firm voice resolutely curses out,

"I wouldn’t let a beast like you gain any benefits."

"I, Su Jiuer, hereby swear to the sky, if anyone rescues me and kills this despicable couple, I am willing to serve as a slave for a woman or as a wife for a man, forever standing by his side, for eternity, unwavering."

"Swear? Ridiculous, you're too naive dear sister." The seductive woman mocks scornfully.

The three-headed dragon laughs its monstrous laugh,

"You may, it won't do any good, even if you swear until you're hoarse."

"Nobody can save you today. This king says so! I will relish you slowly, allowing you to experience the heavenly ecstasy."

It seems even Su Jiuer realizes the futility of her vows.

She must have been muddled.

She's gathering the last remnants of her soul power, ready to self-destruct if needed, not giving the slightest advantage even at the end. She'd rather shatter like jade than survive as mere pottery.

Blood began to ooze from the corner of his lips, the sight devastatingly beautiful yet dismal.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap resounding in the clear sky, the heavens suddenly erupting.

The trio looked up.

They glimpsed a bolt of golden lightning, grandeur and all-consuming, bringing with it an omnipotent divine might, descending from the sky.

The enchanted dragon and the fair maiden in his arms, their eyes reflecting a burst of golden light instantaneously...
