My System, My Wife Feng Aotian [Transmigration] - Chapter 10

“03 doesn’t like this team name,” 03 refused. “03 is a system, and systems only have

colleagues, not little sisters.”

Feng Jue declared with absolute certainty, “You have it now.”

03 didn’t want it.

Silently, it opened the character panel and named the recently scanned Fire Rock Jiao “Ling Shi.”

The system data matched the Fire Rock Jiao lying on the ground perfectly, from head to tail, every scale corresponding. The more 03 looked, the more it felt the Fire Rock Jiao was too… rocky. It simply wasn’t suitable to be its sister.

In the System Realm, only Systems born in the same batch shared the same color. Compared to earlier times, the birth rate in the System Realm had already been quite high, so silver-colored Systems like it, born after the Main System, were exceedingly rare.

Other Systems envied it greatly.

“What are you thinking?” Feng Jue asked, noticing 03 staring intently at the Fire Rock Jiao’s head.

03 replied calmly and honestly, “I’m looking for a way to express my disdain.”

Feng Jue lay on the bed, smiling as she watched 03’s performance.

After a moment’s thought, 03 held up a panel above its head. The panel displayed a glowing thumbs-up symbol.

Then, the thumbs-up suddenly flipped downward, pointing at the Fire Rock Jiao.

Holding the panel, 03 circled the Fire Rock Jiao three times.

Disdain x3

On the bed, Feng Jue trembled with laughter, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath and sighed, “03, you’re truly… amusing.”

Is that so?

03 was puzzled. This was the first time a host had described it like this.

Previous hosts had described it in feedback forms as calm, quiet, silent, businesslike, a helpful assistant, and a good companion to humanity.

As long as the words weren’t negative and didn’t affect its performance, it didn’t matter.

With a stern System expression, 03 tossed the panel onto the Fire Rock Jiao’s head.

x4

The Fire Rock Jiao stared blankly into the air, straining its massive eyes to see the puny human. Its gaze was filled with confusion. Why was its new master smiling so happily?

“By the way, I have something to report to the Host.” 03 enlarged the panel, using images to explain what had happened to the protagonist after Feng Jue left.

The silver-white System let out a long, mechanical sigh.

0·Elder Li·3: “We came to Lanyang Palace, lost so many people, and even had to compensate them with half our apology. How can I face the Sect Master when we return?”

0·Elder Li·3: “Sigh!”

03 drifted to the right, and Xue Bufan’s furious face appeared on the raised panel.

03 was also furious.

Angry, but speechless.

It drifted to the left.

Elder Li: “When we return, report only that you were persecuted by the White Water Sect. Keep the Fire Rock Jiao incident between you and me. No need to involve the Sect Master and risk further complications. I’m doing this for your own good, Bufan. You know your position in the sect right now, don’t you?”

“Ah…”

Feng Jue’s shoulders trembled.

03 drifted to the right, the panel displaying Xue Bufan’s impassive face.

The System mirrored his expression: =_=

03, still expressionless, noted that Xue Bufan’s silence had lasted unusually long, likely because he was having a heart-to-heart with his Old Master.

“Host, please note: the real story begins when the Protagonist gains his first opportunity. He will activate Omniscient Mode—his versatility will surpass your wildest imagination!” 03 tapped its blackboard, emphasizing, “Moreover, he will activate the ‘Opportunity Everywhere’ Mode. He’ll encounter masters who favor him, mastering various skills and cultivating them to heights ordinary people can only dream of.”

Feng Jue’s smile gradually faded. Having put her faith in 03, she now felt a complex mix of emotions. She murmured, “Then he’ll be awfully busy.”

Not only would he need to cultivate, but he’d also be busy learning skills—and who knows, he might even be enjoying romantic trysts with beautiful women under the moonlight.

Tsk.

Her pale feet stepped unevenly on the Fire Rock Jiao, her gaze fixed on 03 hovering before her. A flicker of resolve flashed in her eyes.

“Ling Shan, since you’ve been ordered to assist me, and Xue Bufan is someone we need to be wary of, and you’re only visible to me, why don’t you go to Lianshan Sect and keep an eye on him?” Feng Jue suggested.

03 refused: “The System cannot leave the host’s 100-meter range.”

Feng Jue expressed her disdain swiftly: “What use are you then?!”

03 remained unfazed: “As the highest-level System under the Main System, 03 has a 100-meter operational range—a distance no other System can match!”

You’re quite proud of yourself, aren’t you?

Feng Jue snorted, planting her foot on the Fire Rock Jiao’s head, pinning it down to prevent it from watching her conversation. She said slowly, “Still, you’re better than this creature. At least you don’t eat or drink, and you don’t waste my Flame Core Stones.”

At the mention of Flame Core Stones, the Fire Rock Jiao froze, obediently remaining prostrate on the ground.

Feng Jue was satisfied with its quick understanding of the situation, but—

“I only permit this choice of yours this once. From now on, I’ll supply you with countless treasures—Flame Core Stones and more—but you must remain loyal to me. If anyone tries to replicate today’s circumstances in the future and you betray me, I’ll ensure your head is severed before I die!”

Feng Jue spoke with a curl of her lips, icy words spitting from her mouth.

Her voice carried no warmth, the murderous intent within her words like a blade pressing against the Fire Rock Jiao’s neck.

The Fire Rock Jiao grew even more docile, opening its mouth and spitting out the Jiao Pearl.

This was the moment of blood bonding. From now on, the Fire Rock Jiao would recognize Feng Jue as its master, and if she died, so would it.

After the Jiao Pearl was expelled, Feng Jue’s tense expression softened, the murderous intent in her eyes vanishing completely. She squeezed a drop of her vital blood onto the Jiao Pearl, sealing the Life-and-Death Contract between them.

Golden light flashed around both figures. Having bonded with a Great Perfection Golden Core Cultivator, the Fire Rock Jiao’s vitality surged. Though its physical form remained unchanged, its eyes had lost their previous cloudiness.

“Excellent. I accept your devotion. Fear not, this Palace Mistress will never mistreat you. I seek immortality, and you aspire to ascend to a dragon. We will support each other wholeheartedly,” Feng Jue declared.

A low rumble emerged from the Fire Rock Jiao’s throat.

Watching this harmonious scene between master and beast, 03 couldn’t resist drifting closer.

What about the System?

“Go stand over there.” Feng Jue flicked her finger, pretending to flick 03 away.

03 complied, rolling over twice before heaving a world-weary sigh.

Still hasn’t fully shaken off Elder Li’s influence, it seems.

Feng Jue chuckled at 03’s antics.

The Spirit Ship soon returned to Lanyang Palace.

Siyi went to arrange matters with Xue Mengtao, while Feng Jue brought the System and the Fire Rock Jiao to her residence at Solitary Peak.

The graceful mountain peak was adorned with intricately carved eaves, beneath which jade bells engraved with formations chimed in the wind. A White Crane circled overhead before landing on the crimson-golden tiles, curiously eyeing the Fire Rock Jiao on the ground.

So long. Is it edible?

The White Crane seemed eager to investigate.

Soon, Feng Jue emerged from the palace, holding a golden flame that radiated brilliant light. Nestled on Feng Jue’s shoulder, 03 watched intently. The flame emanated from a seemingly ordinary stone, its molten-gold hue burning so fiercely that even the temperature-imperceptible System could sense its scorching heat.

Red symbolizes passion and fiery intensity, 03 thought, staring at the stone.

The Fire Rock Jiao, sprawled on the ground, trembled with excitement, its body heavy with rubble that cascaded down its scales.

“Quiet!” Feng Jue snapped.

The Fire Rock Jiao immediately flattened itself, wary of angering Feng Jue, and stared at her with anxious eyes.

“I said I’d give it to you, and I will. Do you think I’d renege?” Feng Jue laughed, casually tossing the Flame Core Stone—a priceless treasure, unobtainable even for ten thousand upper-grade spirit stones—into the air.

The Flame Core Stone, no larger than a finger, glowed crimson like a volcanic heart plucked from molten lava, its scarlet flames burning day and night. Anyone with insufficient cultivation approaching it would instantly evaporate.

In the courtyard, the spirit plants wilted under the searing heat, their flowers drooping and leaves curling as if drained of moisture. Only the Fire Rock Jiao, excitedly raising its head, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the stone in a single gulp.

Having secretly checked the temperature, 03 hissed involuntarily: Sss…

Too hot! Too hot!

“What’s with the hiss?” Feng Jue taunted. “Do you even know what hot and cold feel like?”

It certainly does now! 03 hissed inwardly.

As the Flame Core Stone entered the Jiao’s body, it released immense heat. 03 could even see a fiery mass sliding down the Jiao’s throat toward its stomach through its scaled skin. As the energy surged, the rock-hard scales on the Jiao’s body glowed red, matching the flames that now enveloped it. Cracking sounds emanated from the Jiao’s body as new scales grew beneath the old, pushing them off.

The falling stone rain symbolized rebirth. A fiery dragon soared, its body ablaze, emitting triumphant cries.

The cultivators of Lanyang Palace and the people of Lanyang City looked up at the sky. Some, not understanding what was happening, shouted excitedly as they ran: “Dragon! Fire dragon!”

The rejuvenated Fire Rock Jiao descended into the courtyard, completely transformed from its previous state of exhaustion. Its crimson scales, from head to tail, now shone like precious gems, its whiskers and hair fluttered gracefully, its azure eyes gleamed brightly, and the small horns on its head burned with fiery flames—making it utterly stunning.

The White Crane, which had been watching the spectacle from the eaves, flapped its wings and fled in a panic.

Not edible!

“Roar.”

The surviving Fire Rock Jiao shed tears of gratitude. After circling the courtyard for a long time, it landed again and bowed deeply to Feng Jue.

Feng Jue looked satisfied, but she only said, “Not bad.”

“After you transform into a dragon, you should become even more magnificent and spirited.”

The Fire Rock Jiao nodded joyfully.

[03 re-scanned the Fire Rock Jiao, updating its records and noting Feng Jue’s evaluation in the status panel. It casually opened its work log and wrote:]

[It seems not only humans, but even Jiao creatures value their appearance.]

[Fortunately, it’s only a System.]

03 wrote solemnly:

[But we’re no less impressive. Systems are born without inferiority complexes.]
