Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 74 Marrying a Chicken, Following the Chicken (Please Read Further and Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Ji Cheng felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his heart. Holy crap, what... what is this?

I am not wrong, right?
Did you get a chance to transform into a human?

And what do you mean by "fulfilling the de facto marriage"?!

Although it was only one sentence, it was an episode packed with information for Ji Cheng.

Ever since he transmigrated into the body of a chicken, he had dreamed of becoming a great demon one day, or evolving into a phoenix or a golden crow. He never imagined that he would one day be able to marry a human woman and thus gain the opportunity to transform into a human.

It seems that he triggered a specific title due to specific conditions.

After the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down.

The title "Marry a Chicken, Follow the Chicken" does not require accumulating cockfighting victories; rather, it can be obtained simply by fulfilling the act of marriage.

I don't know what the purpose of this title is.
Oh dear, what exactly does "fulfilling the marriage obligation" mean? It's so hard to guess.

"Hey, can you give me a hint? How can I possibly accept this?"

Ji Cheng rubbed his hands together, thinking how utterly clueless this system was.

In this situation, you should just give me a task, tell me what to do, and then tell me that if I don't do it, I'll be eliminated or something!

How could you expect me, a righteous and honorable man, to willingly do such an unjust thing!
The one who bowed to the bride was Ji Cheng, the chicken. So, it's not hard to guess that to fulfill the marriage, he and the bride would have to consummate their marriage.

They also gave him a chance to transform into a human, for one night.

However, I'm afraid of misunderstanding. Besides, wouldn't this be too unfair to Brother Kun?
You're one thing to help people with the wedding ceremony, but why are you also helping them with their wedding night?
However, Ji Cheng quickly thought, "Hey, I think I'm also Brother Kun..."

"Well, you can't blame me for this. I was forced into it. The title of 'marrying a chicken and following the chicken' is right in front of me. As the saying goes, if you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences. I think I can't go against God, can I?"

Hmm, thinking about it that way made Ji Cheng feel much better.

He glanced at Cui Xiangxue lying on the wedding bed. Sigh, it was a great sin to leave such a beautiful bride alone on her wedding night.

As night deepened, Cui Xiangxue's breathing became even, indicating that she had fallen asleep.

With a thought, Ji Cheng transformed into human form, still retaining his handsome appearance from his previous life.

"Long time no see, Yanzu."

He walked up to the bronze mirror, looked at the long-unseen face of Daniel Wu, and greeted him with a smile.

However, unlike before, this time he took human form and was the same age as the bride.

He quickly extinguished the large red candles, plunging the bridal chamber into darkness.

He then tiptoed to the bed.

Startled awake, Cui Xiangxue was embraced by a pair of warm and strong arms. Thinking it was Zhao Kun returning, she shyly called out, "Husband...husband?"

"My wife, don't turn around, I'm your brother Kun."

Ji Cheng said softly, his smile gradually turning sinister.

Brother Kun, this is all I can do to help you.

"To be a chicken to this extent, even if I get slaughtered and eaten tomorrow, it's worth it!"

Entering a state of enlightenment, Ji Cheng felt devoid of desire and longing, only feeling that this one night made his life worthwhile.

Damn it, in his past life he went to graduate school and started a chicken farm back in his hometown, but he still didn't get married before he died.

In this life, I was reincarnated as a chicken and ended up getting married. Isn't that ridiculous?
At this moment, looking at Cui Xiangxue sleeping soundly in his arms, Ji Cheng suddenly felt that life had suddenly given him a purpose again.

With a thought, he indeed obtained the new title, "Marry a Chicken, Follow the Chicken".

[Marry a chicken, follow the chicken]

You possess the ability to transform into human form. You can view all information about your spouse, including the cultivation techniques they practice.

If your spouse insists on ending your marriage, you will directly take half of her cultivation level.

"puff!"

Ji Cheng almost spat out his water. "Holy crap! This is completely upside down!"
Go ask Mr. Liu Cixin right away if this is a book he just wrote.
This title, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken," is simply unbeatable!

First, Ji Cheng gained the ability to transform into a human at will, so he no longer had to suffer as a chicken.

No problem. If you marry a human woman, how can you consummate your marriage without transforming into a human?

This ability is essential.

Secondly, you can view all of your spouse's information at any time.

In other words, Ji Cheng can know in real time what kind of magic or secret manual his spouse is practicing, and if there is a suitable one, he can also practice it.

The most significant point is the last one: if a spouse insists on ending their marriage with Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng can directly take away half of the spouse's cultivation.

Besides the word "defying the heavens," Ji Cheng couldn't think of a better word to describe the title "marrying a chicken and following the chicken."

Is this the treatment that the esteemed Chicken Bro should enjoy?

Haha, that's great.

I glanced out the window; it was almost dawn.

Ji Cheng reluctantly withdrew his arm, transformed back into a fighting rooster, and obediently huddled in the corner of the bridal chamber.

The servants of the Zhao family were the first to get up and sweep the courtyard, fetch water, chop firewood, and start a fire, making quite a commotion.

"Husband...husband?"

When Cui Xiangxue woke up, she touched the side of her and couldn't find her brother Kun.

She quickly got up, dressed neatly, and tidied herself up. She pushed open the door and bumped into her sister-in-law, Zhao Yan.

She then asked Zhao Yan, "Where is your second brother?"

Zhao Yan replied that Zhao Kun still hadn't been found, "Don't worry too much. After breakfast, we'll continue searching. A grown man like him can't just disappear..."

Cui Xiangxue's mind went blank, and she didn't hear what Zhao Yan said afterward at all.

Her expression changed several times. Zhao Kun hadn't returned, so what about last night...?

"Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel."

Zhao Yan took her hands, expressing deep sympathy.

Cui Xiangxue glanced at her, inwardly shouting, "No, you don't understand!"

Cui Xiangxue quickly returned to her room, where a glimpse of alluring scenery on the bedsheets proved that last night's experience was not a dream.

She immediately locked the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and recalled everything that had happened last night, as if in a dream, yet so real.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan assumed that Cui Xiangxue was upset and had difficulty accepting it, so she didn't ask any more questions and let Cui Xiangxue be alone for a while.

At this moment, Cui Xiangxue's heart was pounding, her breathing was rapid, and her mind was in a mess.

She carefully recalled the details of last night. Although she had fallen asleep early, she did not recall hearing the sound of the door opening.

Who exactly was that man last night?
