Chapter 1: Pure Love is the Invincible Path!
"With double pupils, I am already on an invincible path; why would I need to borrow the Supreme Bone?"
Looking at his father's figure in the communication water mirror, the young man named Dong Mo spoke with a resolute voice.
However, the Dong family patriarch in the water mirror only coldly uttered a single sentence in response.
"Hmph... That's not up to you! If you still can't successfully form your core within a month, then get back home and transplant Yueying's Supreme Bone as arranged by the Ancestor!"
Then the water mirror in front of Dong Mo went completely dark, leaving only Dong Mo's reflection in it.
"Damn it... After planning for so long, am I still destined to become cannon fodder?"
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, sporting a head of blond hair, Dong Mo's lips twitched slightly.
"A classic blond-haired, dark-skinned villain who even tries to steal his own sister's supreme bone at the start."
"For years, he even went so far as to fawn over a fiancée who completely looked down on him..."
"With so many classic villain traits combined in one person, how did I end up transmigrating into the body of this good-for-nothing young master of the Dong family?"
After speaking, Dong Mo looked out the window with a melancholy expression, his face full of reminiscence.
Two months ago, he was just an ordinary Chinese college student.
She died suddenly from playing games all night and unexpectedly transmigrated into the same-named cannon fodder villain in the yuri-themed cultivation romance game "The Record of Phoenix Flower Fairy".
In the story, Dong Mo is the eldest son of the Dong family, a prominent cultivation family in the Western Wilderness.
Despite possessing the divine body with double pupils, premature birth resulted in a depletion of vital essence, preventing him from successfully forming his core.
Ultimately, through his family's arrangement, he stole the supreme bone of Dong Yueying, the adopted daughter of the Dong family, a key character in the game.
This led to Dong Yueying becoming a cripple and being expelled from the family. In the end, he was defeated by Dong Yueying and the game's female protagonist, and after being betrayed and abandoned by everyone, he was bewitched and possessed by the Dong family patriarch.
It can be said that Dong Mo in the game is a complete clown with yellow hair.
Knowing the game's plot well, Dong Mo was very clear that as long as he transplanted Dong Yueying's Supreme Bone, he would inevitably be on the path of destruction, being possessed by the Ancestor.
So the first thing Dong Mo did after transmigrating was to plan his escape route before his family transplanted the Supreme Bone into him, and then find his loyal maid Xiao Bai and run away.
However, as soon as he fled to the Void City on the western border, he was targeted by his own father and the family's retainers.
If Dong Mo tries to leave the country, he will be "invited" back by the family's Nascent Soul cultivators in no time.
With his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, trying to escape from those family retainers was nothing short of a pipe dream...
"However, those old guys in the family wouldn't think..."
"If I dared to run away from home for so long under such pressure, wouldn't I have something to rely on?"
"Hajitong, wake up! Wake up! I've successfully escaped the clan!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully escaped your family of origin. System activation complete.]
[Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Yellow-Haired Conquest System!]
Dong Mo: "..."
"Huh? The blond guy... he even has a conquest system?"
"Is this system even legitimate? Did you probably buy it wholesale from some moderator?"
[Ding! This system will significantly enhance the host's charm and automatically scan for suitable victims to identify potential targets.]
[The system will distribute generous rewards for each character the host successfully wins over and significantly increases their favorability.]
Dong Mo took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"Hiss... This system really does belong to some moderator?"
"Doesn't that mean that anyone who's good at it can become stronger?"
"But... I'm clearly a warrior of pure love!"
Just as Dong Mo was getting into his rant, there was a sudden knocking at the door.
"Knock knock knock. Young master, it's me."
A clear, crisp female voice rang out from outside, clean and sharp, like a strong autumn breeze.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a young girl wearing a blue palace dress and an ancient sword at her waist walked in.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate and pretty face like a lotus blooming in early summer.
Her two almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, yet there was a hint of heroic spirit between her brows and eyes.
Her long black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling naturally beside her ears, making her appear even thinner.
The ancient sword at her waist swayed gently with her steps, and her skirt fluttered slightly as she walked, exuding a dashing and elegant charm.
Xiao Bai. Dong Mo's personal maid, and also the person he trusts most in this world.
She is also the only character in the game who remains loyal to Dong Mo throughout.
"Young Master, has the Patriarch given you any trouble?"
Xiao Bai looked at Dong Mo with concern, her brows furrowing slightly.
"What can that old man do to me? He can only urge me to go home quickly," Dong Mo said frankly.
Xiao Bai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt on one knee.
"Young Master, whatever decision you make, Xiao Bai will stay with you to the end."
Dong Mo reached out and helped her up: "Sigh... How many times have I told you before, don't kneel down so easily."
Just then, the long-silent system suddenly rang in Dong Mo's ears again.
[Ding! Victims matching the criteria have been detected!]
[Victim: Xiao Bai]
"Ah? The victim... is Xiao Bai?"
As Dong Mo was wondering, the text displayed on the system panel suddenly changed again.
[Ding! Confirming the target!]
【Strategy Target 1: Xiao Family Ancestral Spirit Sword - Purple Nether】
【Strategy Objective 2: Xiao Family Secret Technique - Tranquil Mind Sword Art】
"Huh? So... when the system mentioned targets for conquest, it meant magical artifacts and cultivation techniques?"
Looking at the pop-up window in front of him, Dong Mo, who prided himself on being a "pure love warrior," couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Please select your target and increase their affinity as quickly as possible to redeem rewards...
Looking at the two targets that popped up on the panel, Dong Mo felt his brain go blank.
"So... what exactly does this strategy guide mean?"
"Does completing the strategy allow you to steal the opponent's magical artifacts, or even plunder their cultivation?"
Thinking of this, Dong Mo subconsciously looked at the strategy options that the system had just popped up.
[The Xiao family's ancestral spirit sword, Purple Nether, is wielded by a mature, unsatisfied woman who harbors deep resentment towards her aggrieved client, Xiao Bai.]
[The Xiao Family's Secret Technique: Tranquil Mind Swordplay, featuring a childhood sweetheart who grew up alongside her aggrieved lover, Xiao Bai.]
Looking at the system introduction, Dong Mo felt as if a lump was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to spit it out.
"Hmm? Childhood sweetheart... a mature, older woman? Isn't this just like the romance system in games?"
"Anyway, let's try to figure out how to win her over..."
Thinking of this, Dong Mo turned his head and glanced at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai felt a little shy under Dong Mo's gaze and quickly turned his face away.
Clearly, she had a certain degree of affection for Dong Mo.
In the original story, Xiao Bai's father was killed by his enemies. The original owner of this body bought her, who was selling herself to bury her father, and buried her father for her.
From then on, she became the original owner's confidante.
Even after the original owner became a cripple, they still stayed by her side.
Later on, they even went so far as to sweep the original owner's grave every year.
Therefore, the first thing Dong Mo did after transmigrating was to use the Dong family's network of connections to rescue Xiao Bai and her father from the Xiao family's enemies.
Then, Xiao Bai followed him wholeheartedly.
Looking at Xiao Bai's shy expression, Dong Mo decisively set the Purple Nether Sword as his first target.
After all, the Purple Nether Sword is just a magic weapon. Even if he manages to "bring it away" after conquering the realm, he can still buy Xiao Bai a better spirit sword.
In contrast, the Tranquil Mind Sword Technique is a set of cultivation methods.
He was currently running away from home and relied entirely on Xiao Bai, a Golden Core stage bodyguard, for protection. If Xiao Bai's cultivation technique were to be "out of control" and cause any mishaps, it would be a huge loss!
Thinking of this, Dong Mo immediately turned to look at Xiao Bai, who was looking at him with a worried expression.
"Xiao Bai".
"Hmm?" The girl turned her head and looked over with her clear eyes.
"May I take a look at your family's heirloom sword?"
Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback. He looked down at the Purple Nether Sword hanging at his waist, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
After all, the Purple Nether Sword was her family heirloom!
But... since it was the young master who spoke...
"Okay, sure."
Xiao Bai unfastened his sword and obediently presented the spirit sword.
"Young master, please take a look."
Dong Mo took the Purple Nether Sword. It felt slightly heavy in his hand. The scabbard was ancient and simple, and he could vaguely sense the dormant spirit within the sword.
The instant Dong Mo's fingertips touched the hilt of the sword, the system panel in front of him suddenly exploded with a blinding golden light.
Immediately afterwards, all the information about the Purple Nether Sword appeared before Dong Mo.
[Target selected: Purple Nether Sword]
[Purple Nether Sword: Originally the sword of Sword Saint Xiao Hongchen, at its peak its power was comparable to an Emperor-level weapon.]
[Due to the decline of the Xiao family and the lack of maintenance, all 360 sword intent pathways within the sword became blocked, causing it to fall to the level of an ordinary spirit sword.]
Looking at the text displayed on the system panel, Dong Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Asking Snow Sword Saint? If I remember correctly... many of the overpowered abilities of the female protagonist in the game were taken from the secret realms he left behind!
Xiao Bai is actually a descendant of the Sword Saint Wenxue? Are those plot analyses on the forum actually true?
As Dong Mo was marveling at the scene, the panel flickered and suddenly switched to a new interface.
【Purple Nether Sword】
[Personality: Obsessed, resentful, and lonely]
[Status: Unsatisfied]
[Evaluation of the victim Xiao Bai: dull-witted, boring, lacking in romantic understanding, weak in inner energy, and unable to satisfy himself]
[Suggested strategy: Nurture the spirit sword and clear any blockages in the sword intent within it]
Current favorability rating: Indifferent
[Strategy Progress: 0%]
[Attitude towards the host: Disdain]
[Hmph! When the Sword Saint was still around, I was immersed in the spiritual energy of the Holy Realm every single day!]
I'm really down on my luck now! Just some Tom, Dick, or Harry can touch me...
Hiss... Why does this spirit sword sound so bitchy?
