Chapter 3: The Suddenly Unfortunate Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang

The system's function was very simple.

All Xiao Yu needed to do was earn "conquest points" from the various female protagonists to bind them. The higher the conquest points with a bound female protagonist, the more rewards he could obtain!

Looking at the system panel, Xiao Yu saw that the first female protagonist he had bound was none other than the love-struck Liu Erlong. Behind Liu Erlong's name was a progress bar, with a small gift box icon at the 10% mark.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu guessed that he needed to push the progress bar to 10% to receive the first-stage reward from Liu Erlong.

"If I hadn't awakened the same Martial Soul as Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang—Luo Sanpao—binding Liu Erlong, this love-struck woman, would have been impossible! But how do I increase the conquest points? Make her fall in love with me?"

Looking at the system's title, Conquest System for Female Protagonists, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Erlong and said,

"Teacher, you've been scrubbing for so long. You must be tired. Let me help scrub your back! Please turn around."

Hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyebrows lifted in delight.

If Xiao Yu was scrubbing her back, wasn't that almost like Yu Xiaogang scrubbing her back?

Thinking this, Liu Erlong excitedly turned around, pulling her waist-length hair to the front.

As her wet hair was gathered and pulled forward, her slender, snow-white waist was revealed to Xiao Yu.

However, Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to this. Instead, he noticed Liu Erlong's excited expression and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Clearly, Liu Erlong was still seeing him as a substitute for Yu Xiaogang.

"Hmph, for the sake of the system, I'll endure it for now. Today, you can still see me as Yu Xiaogang, but starting tomorrow, I'll make sure your mind is filled with thoughts of me!"

Xiao Yu refused to believe that once he raised the conquest points to 100%, Liu Erlong's mind would still have room for Yu Xiaogang.

By then, she probably wouldn't even spare a single thought for Yu Xiaogang.

With that, Xiao Yu began scrubbing Liu Erlong's back with the bath towel.

[Conquest Points +1!]

Seeing this prompt, Xiao Yu knew he had guessed correctly. As long as he made Liu Erlong more obedient to him, or even made her fall in love with him, he could earn more conquest points from her.

Therefore, to increase the conquest points, Xiao Yu began scrubbing Liu Erlong's back even more carefully, occasionally asking her to lift her arms or legs.

Looking at Liu Erlong's flawless back, Xiao Yu couldn't help but swallow hard.

Even Liu Erlong herself didn't realize that, unconsciously, she was becoming more and more obedient to Xiao Yu.

In no time, just from bathing, Xiao Yu had increased his conquest points with Liu Erlong by 5%.

Liu Erlong, without realizing it, had also grown to trust Xiao Yu completely, allowing his small hands to glide over every part of her body.

As Xiao Yu focused on completing his task, he didn't notice the increasingly tender look in Liu Erlong's eyes.

"Xiaogang, if only it were you scrubbing my back right now..." Liu Erlong murmured to herself.

However, after saying this, Liu Erlong suddenly noticed that the perfect image of Yu Xiaogang in her mind had flickered for a moment, replaced by Xiao Yu's face. Strangely, she didn't feel anything was wrong—it felt as if it were meant to be this way.

For a moment, Liu Erlong thought she was just too tired, so she didn't dwell on it. She decided to finish bathing quickly and rest.

Soon, the bath was over. After dinner, Liu Erlong took Xiao Yu to rest.

Since the room next to the cabin wasn't ready yet, Liu Erlong let Xiao Yu sleep with her.

As soon as they lay down, Liu Erlong, wearing a fitted purple nightgown, hugged Xiao Yu tightly and simply said, "Sleep," not giving Xiao Yu a chance to speak.

"Teacher, can I sleep with you forever? Your embrace is so warm," Xiao Yu murmured, feeling the warmth and softness of Liu Erlong's body.

"Of course, but once you grow up, you can't sleep with me anymore. For now, since you're still young, it's fine," Liu Erlong replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was delighted.

How else am I supposed to increase conquest points if I don't sleep with you?

"Teacher, can I sleep with you until I grow up? It's been so long since I've been held so warmly. I've always been alone," Xiao Yu said, hugging Liu Erlong even tighter.

This was the truth. After transmigrating, Xiao Yu had been an orphan. If it weren't for his wit, emotional intelligence, and abilities, he would have starved to death long ago.

"Alright, you can sleep with me until you're ten. After that, you'll have to sleep in your own room next door, okay?" Liu Erlong said, looking at Xiao Yu's sad expression.

Her maternal instincts kicked in, and she felt a deep sense of pity for Xiao Yu.

"Perhaps Xiaogang was like this back then too..."

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong hugged Xiao Yu even tighter.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu, upon hearing the system's prompt, was overjoyed.

[Ding: Conquest Points +3!]

[Conquest of Liu Erlong has reached the first stage. Host has received the first-stage reward package!]

[Package automatically opened!]

[Ding: Congratulations, host, for obtaining 10x Spirit Power cultivation speed!]

[Spirit Power level increased by one!]

[Obtained 10 points of Liu Erlong's World Energy! Liu Erlong's World Energy decreased by 10 points!]

Hearing the system's voice, Xiao Yu immediately felt his spirit power cultivation speed, which had previously been as slow as "frequent urination," increase significantly.

Moreover, his spirit power level had truly risen to level 2!

Feeling the changes in his body, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel excited.

He hadn't expected the first-stage reward to be so impressive. Not only had his spirit power increased, but his cultivation speed had also improved.

Now, Xiao Yu was even more eager to see what the next rewards would bring.

"But what is World Energy used for?"

With this question in mind, Xiao Yu searched for an explanation but found nothing. Deciding not to dwell on it, he drifted off to sleep, surrounded by the comforting scent of Liu Erlong.

While Xiao Yu slept peacefully with a beauty by his side, on the other side of the continent, Yu Xiaogang suddenly found himself in a streak of bad luck.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was standing in front of a mirror, looking at his swollen face, filled with frustration and indignation.

Earlier, he had been preparing to sleep when, out of nowhere, a spider fell onto his face.

Yu Xiaogang instinctively tried to swat it away, but instead of driving it off, he accidentally crushed it, causing its fluids to spill all over his face.
