After an entire night of pleasure, Huang Shi woke up with a slight feeling of weight on his left arm, combined with the soft sensation of a body draped around his own.
Li Mei was currently stuck to him like an eel, her legs sprawled across his torso in an adorable way. Her face was buried in his chest, and she was taking slow, deep breaths.
Clearly, she was so exhausted by last night's ordeal that she wasn't able to slip out of his bed at the break of dawn; instead, she had opted to sleep inside his bed for the night.
Hopefully, this won't be a problem...
Huang Shi had this worried thought pass through his head before once again losing himself in his lover's beauty. Her raven-black hair and soft, cherry lips made him feel like he was looking at a goddess in the flesh.
Sigh... how did the old me not take this woman for himself? What kind of idiot would be able to hold himself back in the face of this kind of beauty?
Huang Shi shook his head as he started to think through the events of the past few days, before finally opting to take count of his current resources.

Looking at his current number of scum points, Huang Shi smiled in satisfaction; clearly, he was very pleased at his haul.
21,400... with that amount I can definitely breakthrough into the Nascent Profound Realm without breaking a sweat. In fact, I should probably breakthrough into the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm before I go to Greenwood Forest.
After smiling to himself for a few moments, he finally looked at the notification that he had ignored last night after his heart-to-heart talk with Li Mei.
Hmm? True Bond of Love? What does that mean?
As if waiting for this question, the system finally chimed in for the first time since he had made it shut up last night.
[Responding to host: A bond of true love means that the woman chosen by the host loves the host from the bottom of her heart. This means that even without the interference from the system, the woman will still be completely loyal and devoted to you.]
I don't think I need the system to help me figure out whether or not the woman I'm with is truly in love with me, but it's good to have confirmation, at least.
Huang Shi thought to himself for a few moments before looking at the second part of the notification, which was of much greater significance to him.
"Hey system, what do you mean by 'wheel of fortune will give a gift to my woman'? Does this mean she can spin my wheel?"
[Responding to host: Nobody but the host can see the system. The host will be the one to spin the wheel of fortune, but the reward will be given to the woman chosen.]
Oh, okay, I get it. But I wonder why the system has this sort of function? It seems to be encouraging me to create bonds of true love with a lot of women and, in turn, making them more powerful.
[Responding to host: The host can only create bonds of true love with a maximum of 9 women. These 9 women will be the core of the host's power base in the future. Any other woman can have the same level of devotion to the host, but they will not be eligible to receive rewards from the wheel of fortune.]
Huang Shi suddenly had a weird feeling envelop him as he quickly asked the system a question.
"Hey system, do I have a choice on which women I can form bonds of true love with, or is it just that when their affection level reaches a certain level, they automatically become one?"
[Responding to host: The host can choose which woman can form bonds of true love with him; however, an affection level of 200 is the minimum amount needed to be eligible for the bond.]
"Then what about my Li Mei? Why didn't you give me a choice?"
[Responding to host: Since Li Mei is the host's first woman and the first one to reach an affection level of 200, she is automatically the first bond. This is a privilege granted to her alone and will not happen a second time.]
Huang Shi finally heaved a sigh of relief as he felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. Knowing that he could only have 9 women officially form bonds of true love with him and have access to the gift of the wheel of fortune meant that he would have to pick and choose only the best of the best when picking whom to bond with.
Li Mei is fine since I'm absolutely crazy about her, but for any other woman to have this privilege, they not only have to be exceptional but also hardworking and talented cultivators.
Once he had decided on a course of action for this, he suddenly thought of another question and so he asked the system:
"Hey system, is there any other benefits to having a bond of true love with me? Or is it just the wheel of fortune?"
[Responding to host: Individuals who have a bond of true love with the host will automatically generate a certain amount of scum points every day. For example, at the current affection level of Li Mei, she will generate around 100 scum points each day for the host.]
What the fuck?? 100 scum points? In a month, that's an extra 3,000 scum points for free—that's an insane boon!
Huang Shi suddenly let his imagination run wild, picturing himself having the complete nine women with bonds of true love and them automatically generating scum points for him without him doing anything.
What a life!
