After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Woman: Donβt You Dare Touch My Baby! [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 83
γMemory data transmission in progress…γ
γTransmission complete. Host has acquired all memories of “Zhong Lanqing.”γ
γTarget “Big Boss” successfully bound: Elder of the Hehuan Sect in the Demon Realm, “Demon Venerable Chilian.”γ
Task 1:Β Reach 80 Favorability.
Task 2:Β Enter the Eternal Realm and Ascend to Godhood.
γPS: Time in the Xianxia world is prolonged. The System has converted the capsule time. The ratio between this world and the original world is 100:1. One hundred years here equals one year in your original world. Please proceed with the mission without worry.γ
Scanning Task 1, Zhong Ying was skeptical. An Elder of the Hehuan (Hehuan means “Joyful Union”) Sect is actually called a “Demon Venerable”?
She had no memories of the Demon Realm in her mind, likely because the original owner, Zhong Lanqing, was a mere mortal. However, thanks to the systemβs briefing, she understood the gist of things. She was a mortal, and her final goal was to enter the Eternal Realm as a God. This mission would not be as easy as the previous ones.
γDetecting Hostβs buffs… Performing soul endowment…γ
“No One Can Keep Up With My Acting”: Equip Failed. (Not applicable to this world).
“One Punch Might Kill You”: Equipped. (Effect weakened by 50% in this world; modified to “One Punch Guaranteed to Break Defense”).
“Don’t Come Near Me, You’ll Get Unlucky”: Equipped. (Due to high completion of the previous world, a Whitelist/Blacklist is available. Host may choose targets for misfortune).
“Oiran Status”: Expired. “Femme Fatale” physique removed.
“Scumbag Gold Miner”: Total output of 3,000 gold coins collected.
“Martial Arts Genius Machine”: Adapted. Effect changed to: “Host gains the Natural Dual Dao/Demonic Physique.” Minor bottlenecks will be broken through automatically.
The “Martial Arts Genius” replacement was particularly impressive. A “Natural Dual Physique” meant she would cultivate faster than anyone else, and unless it was a major tribulation requiring lightning strikes, she could simply close her eyes and let the system handle the breakthroughs.
With a suitcase full of “cheats,” Zhong Ying merged with the soul of Zhong Lanqing. The moment the fusion was complete, she made a decision: she was discarding the name Lanqing. From now on, she was simply Zhong Ying.
“That way, if Little Bao is in this world, she will definitely know who I am.”
Accustomed to Zhu Xingtong being the “Big Boss” in every world, Zhong Ying felt a spark of anticipation toward this “Demon Venerable Chilian.” Is Little Bao the Demon Venerable this time?Β She tried to imagine Zhu Xingtong as a ruthless demon lord but found the mental image difficult to reconcile with her bubbly “Little Bao.”
γDemon Venerable Chilian is currently an Elder in the Hehuan Sect of the Demon Realm. Host must travel to the Demon Realm and join the Hehuan Sect.γ
“Understood. I’m going now.”
Zhong Ying packed her gear and headed for the Cultivator Induction Platform. Zhong Lanqingβs memories were sparse, but she did have one advantage: because of her excellent natural talent, she had been scouted by both the righteous Changtian SectΒ of the Immortal Realm and the Hehuan SectΒ of the Demon Realm.
Both had sent invitations for her to participate in their sect entrance tests. If she passed, she could begin her journey from the Qi Refining stage. If it weren’t for the mission, Zhong Ying would have chosen the Changtian Sect based on the name aloneβit sounded far more dignified than “Joyful Union.” But now, since Little Bao might be in the Hehuan Sect, there was no contest.
She would always choose to be by Little Baoβs side.
At the Induction Platform, Zhong Ying found a crowd waiting. All held invitations similar to hers, looking expectantly at the “Induction Envoy”βa cultivator barely at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Zhong Ying stepped forward and handed over her Hehuan Sect invitation. The envoy glanced at her with an indifferent expression. “Demonic cultivators to the teleportation array on the right.”
Behind her, whispers erupted. “Zhong Lanqing! Is that Zhong Lanqing?”
“Who else could it be? I can’t believe she actually showed up!”
“I heard she got invitations from both sides. Poor girlβwhichever she chooses, sheβll offend the other.”
Zhong Ying ignored them and walked toward the right.
“Zhong Lanqing! You aren’t choosing the Immortal path? You’re going to be a demon?!” someone shouted in disbelief. “Whatβs wrong with being a celestial? Demonic cultivation is for deviants!”
Zhong Ying: “…” Mind your own business.
To her, whether one took the Celestial or Demonic path was just a matter of methodologyβlike choosing between Literature or Mathematics. A personβs character, not their energy type, determined if they were “righteous” or “evil.” Besides, her own way of doing things was hardly that of a “hero of justice.”
“I am not Zhong Lanqing. My name is Zhong Ying. You have the wrong person.”
With those final words, she stepped into the array. A flash of light later, she vanished.
“She chose the Demonic path? Hahaha! As expected of the disciple I set my eyes on!”
Deep within the Hehuan Sect in the Demon Realm, inside the lavish grotto of the Chilian Elder, the Demon Venerable slapped her thigh, a look of exaggerated joy on her glamorous face.
She was ecstatic! It didn’t matter if Zhong Lanqing was the top talent of the year. What mattered was that Immortal Venerable BeimengΒ had also wanted her. Chilian had only sent the invitation to annoy that womanβshe never expected the girl to actually choose her!
“For the first time in years, Iβve beaten Beimeng! I’m happy! Someone, bring wine! When that girl arrives, you must personally escort her up the mountain with the highest honors!”
“I will train her into the greatest demonic disciple! I have a feeling this mortal will be the key to me finally holding my head high after all these years!”
Chilian planned to nurture Zhong Ying into a champion who would crush all other geniuses in the Great Sect Competition. She couldn’t wait to see the look on Beimengβs dark face. Ever since being kicked out of the Eternal Realm by the Divine Phoenix, she hadn’t felt this good.
However, she had no idea that the “mortal disciple” arriving was not just a talentβshe was a “Great Demon King” in her own right. A Demon King who was currently full of expectation to see her wife… and whose disappointment would be immeasurable.
Meanwhile, in the supreme Eternal Realm…
The little “fat bird” Zhu Xingtong was working hard to breathe fire under the watchful eye of Mother Phoenix.
“Deep breath, child. Can you feel the divine power in your belly?”
Holding her breath, the chubby chick nodded vigorously. She felt it! Heat was swirling in her gut!
“Now, exhale steadily. Do not rush. Remember the feeling of channeling that power!”
The little phoenix nodded. Hooβhooβ!Β Her belly gave a little jerk.
Clink.
Something small and hard dropped from her tiny, sharp beak. The little bird looked down.
“…” A glittering, golden Spirit StoneΒ rolled to a stop by her chubby feet. She had spit out money again.
The little phoenix looked up, the single rainbow feather on her head standing straight up in indignation. “Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!!”
Is this the ‘divine power’ you were talking about?!Β Instead of fire, she was a literal piggy bank!
Mother Phoenix was briefly stunned, then covered her beak with a wing to hide a few snuggles. She patted her youngest. “Itβs alright, child. Spirit Stones are very precious to cultivators. We may not need them, but you can use them as bricks to build a nest. They are very sturdy.”
“Chirp chirp chirp!” The chubby bird spun in circles, frantic.
She didn’t want to build a nest! She wanted to find her wife!
“You want to go to the Mortal Realm? No,” Mother Phoenix refused sternly.
“Chirp?!” Why?!
Mother Phoenix sighed. “You possess a semi-divine body. Dropping you into the Mortal Realm would be like dropping a mountain into a stream. It would cause heavenly anomaliesβdroughts, floods, raging storms, and rivers flowing backward. You would destroy the mortal order.”
The little birdβs eyes went blank. Total despair.
Mother Phoenix tilted her head. “I am moved by your desire to venture out despite your lack of fire. Since you wish to travel so badly, how about the Cultivation Realm?”
“Chirp?” Will there be anomalies there too?
Mother Phoenix smiled. “No. At most… you might accidentally create a Secret Realm or two.”
“Chirp chirp chirp!!” The chubby bird began to dance around her mother, her little wings flapping wildly. She wanted to go!
Mother Phoenix patted her head with a wing. “Not yet.”
“?!”
“At least… wait until you can spit out twoΒ Spirit Stones at once.”
The little birdβs expression turned solemn. She let out a long, determined chirp toward the heavens. Fine! I’ll start practicing right now! Just two stones? This bird can do it!
