Volume 1, Chapter 2 – You Should Call Me “Dear Father”

Outside the great hall, Song Shixuan had been standing for quite a while.

In his eyes fixed on the door, a trace of suspicion finally appeared.

“What’s going on? Why is that fox demon showing no reaction at all?” Song Shixuan muttered to himself. “I clearly catalyzed the Yang energy’s effect according to the secret technique. She should already be feeling lustful and restless by now, shouldn’t she?”

“There’s no way she has no reaction at all, right?”

Song Shixuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

What he planned to do today was extremely risky, like walking a tightrope. One misstep would mean falling into an irredeemable abyss.

But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Having schemed this far, he couldn’t drop the ball at this final step!

Thinking this, Song Shixuan resolutely took a step forward, walking toward the great hall ahead.

“Sister Zhuxin, I’m coming in, okay?” Song Shixuan said while reaching out to push open the tightly closed doors.

The door was locked. It didn’t open but creaked loudly from the pushing.

Inside the room, Lu Zhuxin’s hair stood on end.

She hurriedly questioned the system, “What’s going on? I didn’t write this part!”

“In the original text, Song Shixuan only came in after getting Ming Zhaoxi’s consent!”

[System has detected that due to the host’s prolonged non-response, the small world’s Heavenly Dao is intervening and forcibly advancing the plot.]

[It is estimated that in thirty seconds, the small world’s male protagonist Song Shixuan will break through the door.]

[Please make your choice, host!]

[Option One: Lawful Good Route. Please continue developing according to the original storyline without making changes or interfering with the original plot.]

“Huh?” Lu Zhuxin’s head tilted. She wanted to punch this system’s dog head off. “You call this salvation?! This is refusing to save someone from death, isn’t it?”

“Watching me become a cream puff is what you consider lawful good?!”

“I suggest you be kind!”

[Tsk.]

Lu Zhuxin seemed to hear a disappointed clicking sound.

Did this thing that claimed to come save me actually want to turn me into a cream puff?

[Ming Zhaoxi’s resentment came from the unjust fate the host arranged for her. If the host personally experiences everything she went through, then this resentment will also dissipate.]

The system explained.

[The host can also obtain salvation.]

“I refuse this kind of salvation!” Lu Zhuxin’s eye twitched.

[Then the second task route will be selected for the host.]

[Chaotic Evil Route.]

Reaԁ οո ΚαtRеαdіnɡCаfе

“Chaotic Evil?” Lu Zhuxin asked uncertainly. “Why does that sound a bit dangerous?”

[Seize the fortune of this world’s Child of Destiny and destroy his heavenly luck and everything else. Friendly reminder: before completely stripping away the fortune of the Child of Fortune, the Child of Fortune cannot be killed by anyone. So please don’t use shortcuts, host. Task route has been selected. Reloading task system.]

[Friendly reminder: the Chaotic Evil route has extremely high difficulty and extremely high danger level.]

“Wait! You haven’t told me what to do right now!”

“When Song Shixuan rushes in, won’t I still get screwed?!”

[Ding! System officially activated. Now injecting Fox Monarch cultivation into the host.]

Tribulation transcended, half-step ascension, Eighth Realm cultivation, Mahayana stage.

A mysterious power filled Lu Zhuxin’s entire body.

“Is this… what it feels like to possess magical power in a fantasy world?” Lu Zhuxin raised her hand and muttered.

And at that moment, Song Shixuan broke through the door with his sword.

He looked up at Lu Zhuxin.

“Sister Zhuxin, when you didn’t make a sound for so long, I thought something happened to you.”

“Are you alright, Sister Zhuxin?” Song Shixuan said while tentatively approaching Lu Zhuxin.

Without the door’s obstruction, that grassy scent on his body became even more intense.

Clearly a disciple of a famous righteous sect, yet now he was releasing his pheromones like a wild beast.

“Heh…”

Lu Zhuxin sneered. She could feel the anger rising from deep within.

After gaining Mahayana stage cultivation, her resistance to this scent also instantly increased greatly.

At least, she could be certain she wouldn’t lose control now.

She looked at Song Shixuan and said, “You just called me Zhuxin? Is that a name you’re qualified to use?”

“Put away that disgusting stench on your body!”

Hearing this, Song Shixuan immediately felt something was wrong.

A tremendous heavenly pressure heavily pressed down on him.

Song Shixuan’s eyes suddenly changed. He knew this was the Eighth Realm pressure from the nine-tailed Fox Monarch before him!

The Fox Monarch was angry! She was enraged!

Song Shixuan silently thought this was bad.

Then he saw the nine-tailed fox demon before him suddenly strike, her leg extended toward his head.

With a bang, Song Shixuan flew backward.

However, after Lu Zhuxin kicked this dog man away, she felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy lightning bolt.

Lu Zhuxin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Rеαⅾ οո KαtRеaԁiոɡСαfе

Shock filled her eyes.

“System, what’s going on?”

[Host, the system did remind you.]

[Song Shixuan is the protagonist of the small world and also this world’s Child of Destiny.]

[The host violated the original plot. The act of rashly attacking him will draw punishment from the Heavenly Dao!]

[Moreover, the host may not have noticed that even if you attack him with all your strength now, it will be futile.]

Lu Zhuxin looked toward the doorway.

Song Shixuan, who had just been kicked away by her, had already stood up from the ground.

He looked somewhat dazed but was completely unharmed.

Taking a full-force kick from an Eighth Realm Mahayana stage cultivator, yet still completely unharmed.

Is this the male protagonist of destiny under the small world’s Heavenly Dao protection?

Lu Zhuxin felt a sense of powerlessness rise within her.

This world was really too shitty.

“The opponent clearly has cheats enabled! He’s not even trying to hide it!”

“What use is this Eighth Realm cultivation to me!”

[Dear host, the system has already reminded you!]

[The Chaotic Evil route is extremely dangerous. One small mistake means irredeemable doom.]

[If you fail, it won’t be as simple as becoming a cream puff.]

[Instead, you’ll be forever imprisoned in this small world, endlessly looping as a cream puff.]

[Just like…]

[Eternally. Falling. Into. Hell!]

Lu Zhuxin shivered all over.

“Hey! This second route is even more outrageous than the first one!!”

[So, that’s why it’s Chaotic Evil.]

[Of course, as long as the host doesn’t fail, you won’t end up like that.]

“Heh…”

“The premise is that I can’t fail, right?”

Lu Zhuxin held her forehead, her face full of gloom.

“Fine. So I just can’t fail, right? I’ll clear this in one life for you to see!”

[The system looks forward to the host’s performance!]

Rеaⅾ οn ΚαtRеаԁіոɡCαfе

[After all, the host chose this route yourself.]

Lu Zhuxin took a deep breath and redirected her gaze to Song Shixuan in the distance.

After being kicked by Lu Zhuxin, the secret technique on his body had also been broken.

Now, Lu Zhuxin could no longer smell that grass scent that made her so uncomfortable.

“Song Shixuan!” Lu Zhuxin stood up and slowly walked over.

“Fox Monarch…” A trace of panic flashed through Song Shixuan’s eyes.

His plan should have been flawless. Why did it fail?

What should he do now? Had this fox already detected his intentions?

No, she shouldn’t have discovered it!

Song Shixuan suddenly calmed down. How terrifying was an Eighth Realm powerhouse? Yet after her kick, he was completely unharmed?

This meant the other party had held back. In other words, he hadn’t been exposed. That kick just now was merely a warning!

“Young Master Song, the name Zhuxin isn’t quite suitable coming from your mouth.”

Lu Zhuxin grinned.

Looking at the male protagonist from her own pen, she thought: Since there’s no way to kill him right now, why not avoid completely burning bridges for the time being?

Lu Zhuxin said, “I’d prefer if you could honor me as ‘Dear Father.'”

Lu Zhuxin was this small world’s author, and Song Shixuan was this world’s protagonist.

Naturally then, Song Shixuan was Lu Zhuxin’s dear son.

Song Shixuan’s eyes widened sharply.

What did this fox demon mean?

She actually wanted him to be her son??

Such a tremendous humiliation, how could he accept it!

However, this fox demon was an Eighth Realm great cultivator, and she hadn’t seen through his intentions. Earlier should have been just a warning because he rashly pushed open the door.

If that’s the case, then why not temporarily play along and wait for the right moment?

Song Shixuan’s eyes flickered continuously with light.

As the old father, Lu Zhuxin immediately saw through this turtle son’s sneaky thoughts at this moment.

I want to treat you as my dear son, yet you’re plotting against me behind my back?

Lu Zhuxin suddenly didn’t want this dear son anymore.

She saw Song Shixuan before her step forward, about to perform a grand bow to Lu Zhuxin.

“The Fox Monarch treats me like my own fath—”

Damn, this turtle son actually dares to call me that!

Rеаⅾ оn KаtRеαdіnɡСαfе

Lu Zhuxin was afraid she’d lose years of her life.

Before Song Shixuan could say the word “father,” she directly interrupted him.

“This monarch tells you to call me that, and you actually do? Young Master Song’s backbone is truly admirable!”

“…” Song Shixuan’s expression froze on his face. His complexion was as colorful as if a dye shop had opened.

Lu Zhuxin looked at Song Shixuan’s expression, feeling very satisfied inside.

With her pent up anger, being able to make this batard eat dirt felt pretty good.

“Young Master Song, today you’ve caught up on old times and chatted about everything under the sun.”

“Is there anything else you want to discuss in detail with this monarch?”

“If not, then please stay at Fox Palace for a while.”

Song Shixuan froze. What did this Fox Monarch mean? Was she going to place him under house arrest?

Didn’t she not suspect him?

“Your Majesty is too kind!” Song Shixuan hurriedly said. “It’s just this Song has been away from the sect for a long time. If I don’t return for too long, my fellow disciples will suspect me.”

“Oh? Is Young Master Song unwilling to give this monarch face?” Lu Zhuxin’s expression turned slightly cold.

She couldn’t physically attack him, but scaring him a bit should be no problem, right?

“That was not my intention.” Sweat appeared in Song Shixuan’s palms.

Serving a ruler was like serving a tiger. Dealing with an Eighth Realm powerhouse without any means to control her was truly dangerous.

But Song Shixuan didn’t know that Lu Zhuxin across from him also found him equally troublesome.

“Since that’s not what you mean, then please.”

Lu Zhuxin acted as if she hadn’t seen the resistance on Song Shixuan’s face.

She directly summoned the Fox Palace’s attendants.

“Take Young Master Song down and treat him well!”

One red and one white fox demon attendant with high cultivation rushed forward and escorted Song Shixuan away.

Song Shixuan still wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered by a hand.

This wasn’t treating him well at all! This was imprisonment!

Originally, Lu Zhuxin wanted to just throw this bastard out. Out of sight, out of mind.

But thinking about the cheat abilities on this person, she felt it was safer to keep him where she could see him.

Better than letting him go out for a stroll, collecting Primordial Yin left and right, his cultivation rising rapidly.

That would be too disgusting.

Lu Zhuxin never dared underestimate the capabilities of the smut novel male protagonist from her own pen.
