Scratching the Heaven's Surface....

Seeing Zi Xia in front of him, Jiang Chen turned around to use the portal to escape, but the portal rejected him and shrank, showing no signs of ever being there. Jiang Chen cursed in his mind, Shit, I'd be happier if my girlfriend rejected me than this portal!

Zi Xia stood up from her bed-like throne, her movements seductive yet elegant. With a smile on her face, she descended the white marble stairs covered in golden designs and stopped in front of Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was too busy cursing the system in his mind.

"System, you fucker! You want me to die, right?!"

[Ding]

[What do you mean, 'I want you to die'?]

[I don't understand.]

Jiang Chen's eye twitched. "Ohhh, you don't understand, huh? Don't you know who this woman is? The rival of my former master! The one who always opposed me and my master! The woman who always had her eyes on me!"

[Ding]

[Host, you don't understand how the system works.]

[Let me explain.]

[From the system's name, you should understand that it is related to serving MILFs.]

[MILFs are the true goddesses—the only kind of women who truly understand men. They possess features that make any man drool and have the nurturing nature of a loving mama. Simply put, they are divine beings—]

"Shut up, you perverted system! Do you think I don't know? In my previous life, I lost my virginity to a MILF! Don't underestimate me, heh—"

Jiang Chen suddenly snapped out of it. Wait, that's not the point!

"Just quickly explain everything, system! Don't mess with my luck and heart!"

[Understood.]

[The system responds to MILFs, hears their desires, and assigns the host to fulfill them. Once the host completes the task, rewards will be granted. Additionally, the host can establish contracts with MILFs to maintain future interactions.]

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding. So this MILF, Zi Xia, has some kind of desire, and the system heard it, offered a deal, and sent me here like an employee, right?

[Correct.]

"That means this woman has a wish…? Tell me what it is!"

Before the system could respond, a warm hand touched Jiang Chen's cheek. Though her fingers were hot, his entire body felt cold. A shiver ran down his spine as Zi Xia smiled and softly whispered,

"Ahh, Jiang Chen… is it really you?"

Her voice was calm, but Jiang Chen could see the subtle ripple of emotions in her fiery red eyes. That alone made him fear her even more.

Zi Xia muttered to herself, "So that thing was telling the truth..."

Jiang Chen forced a nervous smile. "I... I think you've got the wrong person, Beautiful Sister."

"Oh? From calling me 'Elder' to suddenly calling me 'Sister'?" she said with an amused smile.

"Truly, I don't know you, Sister. If I had ever seen someone as beautiful as you, I would remember it for my whole life! I feel shy saying this, but your beauty is worth worshipping! If you were to walk into the mortal world, people would build stone statues of you for worship!" Jiang Chen declared with a fanatical expression.

Zi Xia raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So I'm worth worshipping? If I walk out, people will worship me, huh?"

She suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand. "Alright, let's go."

Jiang Chen's heart sank. A bad premonition filled his mind. "Go? Go where?"

"Let's leave Xia Peak and head to the common area. Let's see if anyone wants to worship me," she said with a playful smile.

Jiang Chen instantly yanked his hand away, his eyes widening at her absurdity. 'Does she not understand?! The moment I step outside, I'll be hunted down! Maybe stabbed to death or poked by swords from different angles—some on my ass, some on my... No, no, no...!'

His mind was now running wild, conjuring different scenarios of his untimely demise.

He shook his head vigorously and forced a smile. "Sister, you go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Zi Xia tilted her head and smirked. "Nonsense. You look like an immortal yourself. Let's go! Maybe they'll worship both of us!"

Jiang Chen took a step back and waved his hands. "No, Sister! How could I, a mere mortal ant, compare to you—the fairy of heaven?"

Zi Xia chuckled. "Ah, Jiang Chen, you've changed. Where's that arrogant pride of yours? That contemptuous gaze you used to have when you looked down on others? In just two or three days, your behavior has changed completely, like night and day."

Jiang Chen's lips twitched. He wanted to scream, Shut up! I'm not that arrogant bastard! His crimes have nothing to do with me! But he held his tongue.

Zi Xia's smile faded, replaced by a cold expression. A faint pressure leaked from her body as she said,

"Now tell me, Jiang Chen—how does it feel? Abandoned by the master you chose? Betrayed by your junior sisters? How do you feel now? Was that so-called 'Heaven-level technique' worth it?"

Zi Xia's aura grew stronger. The pressure was suffocating, and Jiang Chen felt like he was being crushed. But she seemed completely unaware of his suffering, lost in her own emotions.

For the sake of his life, Jiang Chen suddenly pointed his hand at the sky and shouted:

"I, in the presence of Heaven, Earth, Fire, Lightning, and every respectable primordial being, swear that Jiang Chen never received any Heaven-level technique during the disciple acceptance ceremony! Forget about the ceremony—Jiang Chen NEVER received any Heaven-level technique from his former master, Gu Yan!"

"The scroll Jiang Chen received was from his mother! It was a letter asking Gu Yan to take Jiang chen as her disciple and care for Jiang chen! Ijiang Chen only followed his mother's wishes! And I swear again—at the disciple acceptance ceremony, Jiang Chen originally wanted to accept YOU as his master! Even now, I wish Jiang Chen had chosen you as his master! If there is even a trace of falsehood in my oath, I pray that Heaven strikes me down with lightning, burns me to ashes, and obliterates my very soul!"

Jiang Chen gasped for air after his dramatic vow. "Hahh… hahh..."

Meanwhile, Zi Xia stood there, completely dumbfounded. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open.

She stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief. Did this little brat just provoke Heaven itself?!

And what the hell does he mean by "obliterate my soul"?! Does he even know what that means?!
