Chapter 1 I, the ruthless one, am now preparing to fall in love.
Cheng Xiao had met many geniuses, but they all called him a genius.
He began cultivating his Qi at the age of three, entered the Path of Ruthlessness at the age of seven, and severed his seven emotions and six desires at the age of sixteen... In less than a hundred years, he had already cultivated to the strength of a half-step ascension.
As a transmigrator, he had no system, no cheat codes, no grandpa, and relied solely on himself.
The path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties and dangers, but he persevered through them all on his own.
Now that he is about to reach the legendary ascension realm, he has encountered the greatest obstacle: his cultivation has not progressed at all for three months.
No one can help him, because he is already the strongest on this continent.
Cheng Xiao, dressed in white, descended from the summit of the sea of clouds.
The snow on the mountain was heavy, but all the snowflakes mysteriously hovered in mid-air when they got within three feet of him.
The sect he founded stands beneath his feet.
Because of him, the Qingyun Sect became the largest sect in Shenhe Prefecture in just a few decades.
"It's time to get out and about."
Since he could no longer improve his cultivation through seclusion, he decided to go out and try his luck. Shenhe Prefecture was so vast that he was bound to find a solution.
His life has been too smooth, so it's only natural that he's encountering setbacks now.
Cheng Xiao was just about to find a place to relax when an electronic screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
The electronic screen was both familiar and unfamiliar, looking very much like something from before he time-traveled.
But he was separated from that world by nearly a century.
[Fairy Conquest System: The host can create a character, conquer fairies, and experience the thrill of romance.]
Countless fairies await your discovery in the game; complete tasks to earn rewards.
Cheng Xiao was surprised to find that the electronic screen was still displaying the game interface of a galgame, with options for "Start Game", "Load Save", "CG Recall" and "Exit Game".
This game even has a name: "Heartbeat Tales of the Myriad Realms".
While reading the information on the electronic screen, he was also using his divine sense to explore the system in front of him.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
Looking across the world, the only thing that could directly throw a system in front of him is probably... the Heavenly Dao.
Cheng Xiao cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, which emphasizes transcending emotions and severing the seven emotions and six desires. However, he has now been given a fairy conquest system.
Should we let someone who cultivates the path of ruthlessness play visual novels and fall in love?
interesting.
[Start game?]
Without any hesitation, Cheng Xiao decisively clicked "Start Game" above.
Although the system arrived a bit late and was even a little awkward, it's still a cheat code at least.
Perhaps the path to ascension lies within it.
As soon as Cheng Xiao pressed the button, he discovered that his consciousness had been forcibly extracted from his body, and even with his current strength, he could not resist it.
The electronic screen reappeared in his mind.
[The Tale of Love Across Worlds has begun! Go experience the feeling of love and excitement!]
[Currently loading scenario: Volume 1 - Winter Love Song of Falling Star Valley]
[Story background: On this mortal continent torn apart by war, the once prosperous Great Chu Dynasty is heading towards its end.]
The mighty Zhou army from the north has already breached the front lines.
The Emperor of Great Chu was coughing up blood incessantly on his dragon bed, while all the civil and military officials had secretly defected to the enemy.
In this desolate winter, Chu Ning, the last pure white flower of the Great Chu, is fleeing to the Falling Star Valley, sealed by wind and snow, carrying a glimmer of hope for saving the country...
[Task issued: You are a down-on-his-luck scholar living in seclusion in Falling Star Valley, and you meet Chu Ning, who has fled to Falling Star Valley.]
You will embark on an escape with her, changing the kingdom's princess's doomed fate.
Task rewards are affected by affinity level.
When the electronic screen disappeared, Cheng Xiao appeared in a heavy snowfall.
The snowflakes all froze eerily when they were three feet away from him.
"His cultivation level is still there." Cheng Xiao's tone was somewhat surprised.
He released his divine sense, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it had already covered the entire continent.
This is a low-magic plane, where the highest cultivation level a mortal can achieve is only at the Qi Refining stage.
There are seven countries in the world, large and small.
Princess Chu Ning of Chu has not yet begun her escape, but the Great Zhou army is about to besiege the city, and the mission will begin soon.
After understanding the situation, Cheng Xiao had a bold idea.
With his near-ascension cultivation, if he so desired, no plane could withstand a single blow from him.
Why must we follow the system tasks?
Having made up his mind, Cheng Xiao leaped into the air and headed straight for the Great Zhou army.
......
The snow and wind in Falling Star Valley seemed to be burying the last vestiges of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The biting wind relentlessly tore at Chu Ning's resistance, the chill seemingly penetrating to his very bones.
"Your Highness, please get in the carriage. If this continues..." The little palace maid beside her wept, her tears falling to the ground and turning into ice crystals.
Chu Ning gritted her teeth and kept walking forward: "No, I can't stop. I have to show that old immortal my sincerity!"
Three days ago, the Great Zhou army besieged the city and was about to breach the pass.
A mysterious person handed the formation to the commander-in-chief, who led his skilled soldiers to desperately activate the formation. With only three thousand men, they managed to defeat an enemy army of fifty thousand!
The rest fled in panic.
In addition to the formation, the mysterious person also left clues, telling them to come to Falling Star Valley to find him.
The King of Chu was terminally ill and unable to get out of bed. He had no children, only a princess.
To show his sincerity and save his country, Chu Ning decided to personally invite this old sage to come out of seclusion.
She gritted her teeth and kept walking forward against the wind and snow.
Although Falling Star Valley is covered in snow all year round, today's snowstorm was exceptionally heavy, as if even the heavens were trying to stop her.
Everyone says that the fall of the Great Chu was the will of Heaven.
But Chu Ning didn't believe in fate!
"We're here! Your Highness! We've arrived!" a palace maid called out from the side.
At the end of the snowstorm, a solitary thatched hut came into view.
Chu Ning mustered her last strength and placed her hand on the door, but before she could knock, the door opened by itself.
She had originally expected to see a white-haired old man with a dignified and otherworldly air.
But when she struggled to lift her snow-covered eyelashes, the scene before her stunned her.
There are no old immortals.
There was only one young man in white sitting on a wooden chair.
The thatched cottage was warm as springtime, and the water on the small red clay stove was bubbling away.
The young man was dressed in extremely thin white clothes, and his skin was a pale white as if he had never seen the sun for many years. He looked even more sickly than the princess who was powerless to kill a chicken.
"Sir..." Chu Ning didn't care about anything else. She crawled desperately toward the young man and knelt on the ground.
"Princess Chu Ning of the Great Chu Dynasty, on the orders of her father, the Emperor, begs you, sir, to come out of seclusion and save my people!"
Cheng Xiao continued to sip his tea at a leisurely pace, glancing at the princess kneeling on the ground.
The girl was petite and looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.
The once magnificent flowing cloud palace dress had long been torn apart by the thorns along the way, and dark red bloodstains and ice crystals were frozen on the clothes.
It was an extremely beautiful face, with a touch of childishness in its features. Because of the cold, her face was almost bloodless, which added to her broken beauty.
A few strands of long hair, soaked by snowmelt, clung messily to her face.
Her thin lips trembled slightly as she bit them until they bled.
Cheng Xiao reached out and pushed the already brewed tea to the corner of the table.
"Your Highness, please have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
From Cheng Xiao's perspective, it's not just about this nearly broken princess.
There's also a number above her head that says "Favorability Rating".
Perhaps it was because he had just saved the Great Chu.
The initial value is "30".
