My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 307 I Will Be Your Wife with All My Heart (4000 words)

After hearing Xu Mo's reply, Xian Qing smiled happily and said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled. I will grant you immortality and make you my Daoist partner after you become human. In exchange, I will extract the system's essence from your body to resolve the current situation."

Xu Mo nodded generously and replied, "I didn't ask... Hmm? Wait a minute."

He stared at Xianqing in disbelief and asked in surprise, "What... what's this about Daoist partners?"

He swallowed hard as he spoke. To be honest, he was indeed tempted. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a beautiful girl wanting to marry him?

But wouldn't this be a bad idea? Would it seem like taking advantage of her vulnerability? Would she look down on me? What if she dislikes me?
In short, at this moment, his mind was a mess, and countless thoughts popped into his head. After all, he was just a simple otaku before, with absolutely no experience in dating.

When faced with a girl you're attracted to, you naturally hope to give her a perfect impression, or that she falls in love with you because of your personal charm, rather than because of some transaction or something similar.

Well... in short, it's a bit pretentious. Even if you really want it, you just want to be reserved for a while.

Xian Qing looked at Xu Mo with a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't I say before that I could become your Daoist partner?"

Her calm expression and tone completely baffled Xu Mo.

Why does she seem so unrelated to herself? Does she even understand what a Daoist partner means? Or rather, does she understand what a Daoist partner in her heart means? Why is she so calm?

So he quickly reached out and explained, "What I mean is, isn't our deal just about you granting me immortality?"

Xian Qing lowered her head slightly and said calmly, "But I clearly felt that you were particularly attracted to me before. You should like me and want to hug me, kiss me, and sleep with me."

Seemingly worried that Xu Mo wouldn't believe her, she added, "Don't worry, although I don't quite understand these specific emotions, I've seen what love between humans is like. Once I've resolved the current situation and become a real human, I will try my best to learn these emotions and be a good wife."

"Ah, this..." Seeing Xianqing say those words in such a serious manner, Xu Mo blushed. What nonsense was she talking about? He had never thought that way.

He was just... well, he thought about it for a moment, he had no other thoughts, he really just thought about it for a moment. When faced with a perfect, long, straight black-haired beauty, with dark pupils, delicate and jade-like skin, slender and graceful figure, and long, straight legs, isn't it normal for him to imagine it?

But I definitely didn't have any dirty thoughts.

Then, when he heard Xianqing say the rest of the sentence with a serious expression, he felt his heart skip a beat.

When a beautiful woman so earnestly says she will strive to be a good wife, what man could resist such temptation?
Xu Mo couldn't take it anymore. He felt like he almost suffocated. Was this the taste of love? It was so sweet.

Then, he couldn't bring himself to refuse the deal anymore, because he really couldn't bear to part with it.

What if I refuse and never have this opportunity again?
Compared to being sentimental, he was even more unwilling to miss out on Xianqing, this girl.

Thinking of this, he nodded calmly, "Okay, alright, since you've said so, then it's settled."

After saying that, he immediately felt his face turn red and his body heat up. So, to ease his embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, why haven't those people attacked yet after so long? Are they just watching us discuss things? Is there some kind of rule?"

He was indeed very puzzled. Xianqing had described the situation as so critical, yet he couldn't sense it at all. This was really strange.

Xianqing smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied, "Because we are actually communicating within your mind right now; outside, it's less than a fraction of a second."

"I see, that makes sense then." Xu Mo nodded thoughtfully. He had thought there was some kind of rule, like the invincibility law for transformations in anime.

Seeing that he understood, Xianqing smiled and nodded, then gently said, "In that case, I will begin."

Then she slowly extended a jade hand and formed several complex Dao seals. Soon after, Xu Mo saw a phantom river transform into a small, transparent sphere.

Xianqing gently raised her hand, and the small ball slowly floated into her palm.

Then she slowly stepped forward, handed the small ball to Xu Mo, and smiled at him.

Xu Mo looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Xianqing gently explained, "This is an entire river of time and space in a vast world. Please keep it safe; it's a deposit."

After saying that, she stretched out another hand and said to Xu Mo, "Now I'm going to start extracting the system's essence."

Xu Mo nodded, then asked, "How can I cooperate with you?"

Xianqing shook her head. "It's alright, just stay put."

After she finished speaking, her hand touched Xu Mo's forehead. The warm touch came over him, and before he could even feel it, he felt a slight jolt in his brain. Then, a golden ball of light was pulled out from his forehead.

As soon as the ball of light appeared, Xu Mo felt a lightness all over his body, as if he were floating on air.

Before he could even express his feelings, the ball of light in Xian Qing's hand began to vibrate violently, followed by a shocked and angry voice:

"Ah, how is this possible? Why would there be such a powerful being in this space-time?"

Xianqing remained silent.

The system angrily shouted, "Stop! Do you know what you're doing?"

Xianqing remained silent, quietly drawing upon the source energy.

After sensing the loss of its source, the system became even more shocked and furious. "Impossible! You can actually extract my source? How is that possible?"

It immediately shouted, "Xu Mo, you must make her stop! I am your system, your cheat code. I share your glory and your loss. We are one. How could you agree to her deal? She is lying to you. She said that just to extract my essence."

"Really? But she said you'll take everything from me in the future," Xu Mo asked calmly.

The system replied firmly, "Of course. You've read so many novels, you should know that the system has always been used to assist the host. How could it possibly betray the host and take everything from the host? She is your enemy. She deceived you and took away your cheat code."

"Think about it carefully. How would a transmigrator without a system survive in another world? A transmigrator without a system is incomplete, just like a human without an ID card."

"So, Xu Mo, you can't lose me. She was able to extract my essence because you agreed to the deal. Now, as long as you refuse the deal and become deeply bound to me, I can take you out of here and show you off."

After the system finished speaking, it seemed to have thought of something else and added, "As for your Daoist partner, we can come back and tie her up after you become stronger. She will still belong to you and can't escape."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, it'll be too late if you don't decide now." The system urged Xu Mo anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo wore a pained expression and said with a conflicted look, "Really? But I don't think she's lying to me."

The system exclaimed in shock and anger, "Xu Mo, are you confused? The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you. You, a transmigrator, don't you even understand this basic principle?"

"She's obviously lying to you. You've read so many novels, you should understand one thing: when a transmigrator goes to another world, the only people they can trust are themselves and the system."

"I am the one who can walk with you all the way."

The system grew increasingly anxious as it spoke, then cried out in a heartfelt tone, "Xu Mo, I am your system, I belong to you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo trembled slightly, then seemed to be persuaded and asked the system, "Are you my system?"

The system was overjoyed to see that he was interested and quickly replied, "Yes, that's right, I am your system."

Xu Mo nodded, but as the system waited anxiously, his expression turned cold, and he shook his head without hesitation, saying, "Really? I don't believe it!"

The system immediately realized that it had been tricked by Xu Mo, so it asked in a vicious tone, "Damn it, why?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo replied calmly, "Because... your emotions are too rich."

Actually, he had some doubts about Xianqing's claim that the system harbored ill intentions towards him. To be honest, the reason he agreed to the deal was not only because he was afraid of the worst, but also because of Xianqing's appearance.

He simply couldn't refuse the request of such a stunningly beautiful girl.

Seeing the system's reaction, he was immediately relieved. Luckily, he was too weak to refuse the beautiful woman's request, so the system was obviously problematic.

After hearing Xu Mo's reply, the system's tone became even more vicious, but it still wanted to struggle, so it argued:

"Xu Mo, don't overthink it. I am the strongest system of the new era. It's normal for me to have rich emotions. Think about it, even AI in your previous world could curse. It's not normal for a system like me to evolve emotions, is it? I'm doing this to better serve my host."

Xu Mo nodded upon hearing this, "Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood you."

The system was overjoyed. "That's right, that's right, it's all a misunderstanding, so you should quickly make her stop."

Xu Mo nodded, then looked at Xian Qing and said, "By the way, are you sure you can kill it completely like this? I'm worried that it might not die completely and could reappear to seek revenge on me in the future, which would be bad."

Xian Qing nodded and replied confidently, "Don't worry, although its origin is very advanced, I am not inferior either. Besides, it is also restricted by the rules and cannot resist. I will completely erase it and will not let it affect our future life."

Xu Mo blushed upon hearing this, feeling like he was being flirted with when he heard about their future life together.

But... my wife is amazing, she's actually starting to think about our future, hehehe.

Afterwards, the system struggled in vain and soon lost all power to resist.

After Xianqing extracted the system's essence, only a thin, transparent film remained of the golden sphere.

She then handed the system membrane to Xu Mo and said, "Keep it safe for now; you'll need its help to achieve immortality."

Xu Mo nodded. After Xian Qing finished absorbing the system's essence, her aura changed, and she glanced at the group of people confronting her. It seemed she was about to make a move.

Seeing this, he waved to her and encouraged her, "Go for it, honey."

But as soon as he finished shouting, his face froze, and he quickly covered his mouth. Oh no, he shouted too fast and blurted out what was on his mind.

What a shame.

He wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear, but Xianqing didn't seem to care at all. Instead, she smiled happily at him and replied, "Okay, husband."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo stared blankly at Xian Qing, his heart pounding. "My wife, she's so gentle, I love her so much."

Then, he and Xianqing's consciousness returned to reality. He then saw Xianqing's body appear in front of him, protecting him behind her. Then, with a wave of her hand, she sent out a beam of spiritual light that enveloped him.

The strong sense of security made him feel extremely happy.

Then he saw his wife slowly swing the knife in her hand, and the blinding light of the blade illuminated the entire chaotic space-time.

When Xu Mo was able to open his eyes, he saw that the group of people who had been confronting his wife earlier had disappeared.

Xianqing turned around wearily, gave him a bright smile, and said softly, "The enemy has been dealt with. Now I will complete our transaction."

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards Xu Mo.

Upon seeing this, Xu Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he became extremely nervous.

Xianqing stepped forward and merged the system membrane in his hand with the light sphere formed by the River of Time and Space, then pressed the light sphere towards his brow.

To Xu Mo's astonishment, the ball of light pierced directly into his brow.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a panel appear in his mind.

The panel displays his chibi-style image, with a customizable face-shaping bar next to it.

Below his portrait is a line of purple-gold text: Dao Fruit, Immortality.

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback when he saw this. At this moment, Xian Qing in front of him chuckled and said, "This was made for you using the underlying rules of the system. I feel a little bad that you lost the system. Just like the system said, a transmigrator without a system is incomplete."

"This way, you should feel more at ease in this strange new world."

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then was deeply moved. "My wife is so thoughtful."

Xianqing smiled at him and continued, "As for the matter of a Daoist partner, I haven't finished dealing with my own affairs yet, and it will take some time before I can become a true human. In order to give us a better start, I will send you to a future time and space where we can meet."
