Chapter 65: Metamorphosis.
“I’m doomed…” Xie Qiyang’s mind buzzed, a mix of shame and strange helplessness fogging her consciousness.
“If that guy comes out and sees me like this… in this humiliating play…” She couldn’t imagine Li Tianxing’s expression—amused? Excited? The thought made her toes curl, wishing she could vanish.
Just then, a smug, girlish voice, barely suppressing laughter, echoed in her mind:
[Heh heh heh! Host, you’re such a weakling~]
The voice drawled cheekily.
[Done in by a mere naughty bed, all helpless and tied up? Tsk tsk, of all the hosts I’ve guided, your start is… uniquely pathetic!]
“Who?!” Xie Qiyang jolted, forcing her scattered focus together, mortified. If this voice could see her now… social death didn’t even cover it.
[Me, your dear, forgotten-in-the-corner System!] The voice feigned hurt, then perked up. [I was busy running the show, guiding other hosts across planes to punch creator gods and kick apocalypse demons. Now? Heh, crushed my KPIs, overachieved! You’re the last ‘problem child’ stuck in the newbie village, so I’m back to bail you out!]
[And what do I find? Tsk tsk tsk…]
The System’s sweet, girlish tone dripped with exasperation.
[I thought you were biding your time, gathering strength for a comeback! But nooo, you’ve fully embraced lying flat, willingly diving into bondage play with that guy? This pose… quite professional, self-taught?]
“What… what nonsense are you spouting?!” Xie Qiyang retorted in her mind, cheeks burning, but her gagged mouth only let out muffled “mmphs.”
Being called out so bluntly felt like being stripped naked under a spotlight!
[Sigh.]
The System let out a long, fatherly sigh, as if watching a wayward child.
[Looks like my carefully crafted ‘Heartless Empress System’ and ‘Supreme Detached Immortal Path’ are… totally useless. Host, your vibe has nothing to do with ‘heartless’ or ‘detached,’ does it?]
[Fine, no forcing a square peg into a round hole!]
The System’s tone turned gleeful, almost gloating. [With stellar performance, I can afford to be picky! Let’s switch to a deluxe package tailored to your current ‘style’ and ‘needs’!]
[Ding! Detected: Host’s soul wavelength matches ‘Sea of Desire: Immortal Ascent System’ at 999%! Uninstalling old ‘Heartless Fairy (Unactivated)’… Loading new system core…]
“??? System, what the hell are you talking about?!” Xie Qiyang was utterly lost.
[Chill, chill!] The System’s tone was all “I got you.” [Other hosts crushed it, maxing out my permissions and resource pool! I’m the VIP of VIPs, with cheats galore!]
[And… heh, between us, this world’s deep waters, full of big players. Tons of ‘colleagues’ are here grinding KPIs. Competition’s fierce, so we’re loading you with top-tier stuff!]
[So—go for it, lusty, playful big-sis host! Charge toward the starry sea—or rather, sea of desire! Quack! Heh heh heh!]
With a cryptic cackle, the System’s voice faded.
“System…” Before Xie Qiyang could process, a thicker, sweetly fragrant pink mist wafted from some corner, seeping into her nose.
A searing heat surged from her core, flooding her body.
Her once-clear blue eyes, like an icy lake, now burned as if scalded by hot iron. Her pupils shrank, then filled with pulsing, fiery pink hearts.
[Ding! Detected: Host’s ‘Desire Value’ has broken critical threshold! MAX reached!]
[Congratulations! ‘Nine Desires to Enlightenment: Blissful Ascension System’ fully activated and bound!]
[Core Law: Clothing Empowerment System Enhanced. Current ‘Wardrobe Capacity’: 2/9. The stronger the host’s desires and the further from the ‘Heartless Fairy’ persona, the more ‘Depravity Points’ earned! Depravity Points are the system’s currency, usable for breakthroughs. The deeper the depravity, the greater the power!]
[Newbie Supreme VIP Gift Pack distributed… Ding! Host auto-learns supreme technique: ‘Yin-Yang Great Dao (Beginner)’. Further mysteries unlock with realm growth and Depravity Points. Please embrace ‘depravity’ and ascend soon!]
Boom!
An unimaginable, vast wave of profound Dao charm erupted from Xie Qiyang’s body.
Radiant light filled the room, cocooning her in a glowing shell.
The disguise spell on her melted away, revealing her breathtaking true face—silver hair cascading like a waterfall, skin like polished jade.
But that was just the start!
Under the flood of Dao charm and the System’s transformation, her body underwent a miraculous change.
Her already exquisite features were refined further, losing traces of youthful innocence for a blend of captivating allure and divine sanctity.
Her dazzling silver hair turned inky black from the roots, like spilled ink, with the tips retaining a shimmering, moonlit silver.
An aura of natural harmony, evoking the primal forces of yin and yang, enveloped her—holy yet seductive, cold yet burning, a paradoxical unity.
Click…
The side room’s door finally opened.
Li Tianxing, holding something, looked puzzled. Seeing the room’s scene, he froze, petrified.
His pupils quaked.
Before him was a sight to sway gods and buddhas:
On the “naughty bed” he’d chosen, metallic tendrils bound a woman in an… artistic pose.
But this woman… was no longer familiar, only faintly recognizable by her eyes.
Her body surpassed all mortal imagination, every curve a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship.
Black hair, laced with moonlit silver, spilled across the bed.
Her face, faintly reminiscent of the girl he knew, was transformed—bewitching yet sacredly fallen.
Her once-clear blue eyes now blazed with pulsing pink hearts, gazing at him with insatiable longing.
The item in Li Tianxing’s hand fell with a clatter. His mouth opened, but no sound came.
One thought looped in his mind:
Is this… still my greedy, lusty, lazy little wife?! Or some demon queen straight out of the Desire Realm?!
