Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Sneaking into Xun'er's Room at the Start

  It's over!

  Barbie Q is gone! Congratulations on the end!

  Xiao Bai cursed the heavens in despair, "Is this some kind of cruel joke?!"

  A few days ago, he was still diligently working on screws so his boss could marry a concubine next year, but who knew he would inexplicably transmigrate to the Dou Qi Continent, becoming a nobody from the Xiao Clan whose name he'd never even heard of.

  This is a world of Dou Qi, without flashy magic, only Dou Qi cultivated to its peak!

  The ranking system is divided into: Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, Dou Di.

  He thought that someone as ordinary as him, someone who wouldn't even turn a dog's head on the street, someone who could easily go astray while browsing a browser, could easily live his ideal life by clinging to the protagonist's coattails.

  But who would have thought that a system named 'Kun' would suddenly awaken in his mind.

  At first glance, this name is very easy to misunderstand, because the character 'Kun' cannot be interpreted in its entirety.

  He initially thought it was just the system's name that was a bit frivolous, but the tasks it issued were just as absurd.

  The first task was for Xiao Bai to sneak into Xun'er's room and give her a gymnastics massage—no, it should be called "nourishing her bones."

  This nearly scared Xiao Bai to death. After all, if he remembered correctly, there was a small detail in the original story.

  That was that when Xiao Yan was a child, he would often sneak into Xun'er's room and use what he called rough methods to nourish her bones. This was the fundamental reason why Xun'er remained devoted to Xiao Yan later in the story.

  Now the system actually wanted him to sneak into Xun'er's room to nourish her bones—wasn't that like stealing the female lead from the protagonist?!

  If he really did that, he could forget about ever clinging to the protagonist again.

  "Nourishing the bones of a four-year-old girl—this kind of thing just feels a bit...unreasonable!"

  Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, caught in a dilemma.

  "Although this is just a fictional novel world, when he gets beaten up by the protagonist later, the physical sensations will be very real!!"

  [Ding!] [Mission Reward: Ancient Sacred Body!]

  A system notification sounded in Xiao Bai's mind.

  "Ancient Sacred Body!?"

  Xiao Bai was stunned, almost doubting his ears.

  Was the Ancient Sacred Body something from the Dou Qi Continent?

  Of course not!

  The Ancient Sacred Body was the strongest battle body of the human race in another novel world.

  However, after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Bai understood. After all, even he had transmigrated to this world, so what did science matter…

  Although he was in a different dimension and couldn't assess the specific effects of the Ancient Sacred Body, it was definitely countless times stronger than his current ordinary body!

  [Ding! Accept the mission?]

  The system's voice echoed in Xiao Bai's mind again.

  "It's just a massage! Let's get her!"

  In an instant, Xiao Bai's handsome eyes sharpened, and his entire body exuded a world-destroying aura!

  He was like a major villain from a novel!

  …

  Night fell, the full moon rose, and a quiet stillness descended as silvery moonlight bathed the earth. The

  Jade Immortal Pavilion, the residence of Xiao Xun'er, is the home of the Xiao Clan.

  The entire pavilion is simple and unadorned, yet possesses an air of refined elegance.

  "Huff~"

  Xiao Bai cautiously made his way through more than a dozen halls, finally arriving at the Jade Immortal Pavilion, his strength nearly exhausted.

  Several Xiao Clan guards stood before the pavilion, each fully armored, wielding a halberd and carrying a banner, their auras powerful, demonstrating their concern for Xiao Xun'er's safety.

  Xiao Bai pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to enter the Jade Immortal Pavilion undetected.

  "When Xiao Yan was four years old, he had only just begun cultivating Qi. How did he manage to bypass these guards and enter the Jade Immortal Pavilion?" Xiao Bai wondered.

  Even a four-year-old child who had begun cultivating Qi couldn't simply climb over a wall.

  Moreover, with Xiao Clan guards watching over him.

  Just as Xiao Bai was pondering this, his gaze suddenly locked onto a dog hole not far ahead.

  Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming, and said with an arrogant air,

  "Damn it!!!"

  "I, Xiao Bai, have backbone, okay? Even if I starve to death today, even if I die outside, I would never crawl through a dog hole!"   

  ...

  After half an incense stick's time,

  Xiao Bai walked slowly inside the Jade Immortal Pavilion.

  For some reason, he discovered that this once ordinary pavilion had suddenly become incredibly luxurious!

  Thousands of golden rays rolled like red rainbows, and a thousand auspicious wisps of purple mist enveloped the pavilion, making it resemble a fairyland.

  Several large pillars stood within the pavilion, and he even saw golden-scaled, dazzling dragons coiled around them. The simple bridge seemed like a celestial bridge, with auspicious phoenixes circling on it.

  The celestial mist was pervasive, truly breathtaking!

  It seemed the ancient clan had expended considerable resources to build this Jade Immortal Pavilion!

  However, ordinary people seemed unable to see these things, assuming Xun'er lived in an ordinary pavilion.

  Xiao Bai even suspected that Xiao Yan's insistence on sneaking into Xun'er's room at the age of four to nurture her bones was because destiny had allowed him to see through her disguise!

  With such a naive, beautiful, and wealthy young woman before him, who wouldn't want to try and win her over?

  "But why can I see these things too?"

  Xiao Bai was somewhat bewildered.

  I'm not the protagonist, nor am I the chosen one!

  With a heart full of trepidation, he walked towards the wooden house ahead, decorated with pink flowers, overflowing with girlish charm.

  This was Xiao Xun'er's residence!

  Xiao Xun'er was not only a young lady of an ancient clan, a proud daughter of heaven, but also the most perfect awakening of the Emperor of Struggle bloodline in the ancient clan in the past thousand years, possessing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking!

  Although she was a year younger than Xiao Bai, she could definitely beat Xiao Bai so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

  Moreover, if this matter were to spread, Xiao Bai would face severe punishment from the Xiao clan!

  "What a coward! At worst, I'll die and face the heavens!"

  "Twenty years later, I'll be a hero again!"

  Xiao Bai steadied his Dao heart.

  Then, he tiptoed into the wooden house.

  A warm and gentle fragrance that made one feel soft all over wafted towards him.

  It was like the intoxicating scent of flowers, yet also like the faint fragrance of a woman's body.

  Xiao Bai scanned his surroundings and saw a young figure on a bed not far away.

  She was petite and quietly sleeping on the bed.

  Long eyelashes, a delicate nose, and cherry-like lips.

  This girl seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth, a spirit of nature, cunning and intelligent.

  Xiao Bai cursed inwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to begin nurturing Xiao Xun'er's bones.

  However, the next second, Xiao Bai suddenly realized that he hadn't even started practicing Qi cultivation yet, and he had no Battle Qi!

  How could he nurture her bones like this?!

  *Buzz—*

  Suddenly, Xiao Bai felt a warm current surging within his body, extremely wondrous, and a new immortal technique called the *Kun Character Technique* appeared in his mind.

  Battle Qi!?

  Xiao Bai's mind stirred slightly, and a faint Battle Qi immediately filled his palms.

  Clearly, the system had just intervened, helping him condense some Battle Qi and incidentally gifting him an immortal technique.

  This *Kun Character Technique* had nine levels.

  What he had in his mind was only the first level, yet it was still incredibly profound.

  "Why are you even more excited about the nurturing phase than I am?!"

  Xiao Bai mentally complained about the system, his gaze fixed on Xiao Xun'er's condition.

  At this moment, Xiao Xun'er's breathing was even, like Sleeping Beauty; though still young, the beginnings of her beauty were already visible.

  After confirming that Xiao Xun'er was truly asleep, Xiao Bai began to formally use the Kun character technique to nurture her bones.

  Meanwhile, outside the wooden house,

  a young child's figure also cautiously approached the house.

  ...
