Chapter 48: Han Feng with the System
"I wonder how I should address you, senior," Zhao Dongdong asked.
Chu Feng shook his head and replied, "My name is Chu Feng."
Zhao Dongdong exclaimed with excitement, "You're Grandpa Chu Feng!"
Grandpa.
Chu Feng suddenly felt a headache coming on. If it were any other time, he wouldn't care, but now that she had become the Daughter of Destiny, and he was planning to subdue her, being called Grandpa was truly awkward.
With a stern expression, Chu Feng said, "Look at how young I am. Do you really think it's appropriate to call me Grandpa?"
"Then I'll call you Brother, Brother Chu Feng."
"Ah."
Zhao Dongdong shook her head. "No, if I call you Brother Chu Feng and my grandpa finds out, he'll definitely scold me."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about your grandpa. He's just an old stick-in-the-mud. We can call each other whatever we like. Besides, with my strength now, your grandpa wouldn't dare object."
"Alright, Brother Chu Feng."
Calling a Nascent Soul ancestor "brother"—the thought alone made Zhao Dongdong feel a surge of excitement.
"Brother Chu Feng, I didn't expect you to join the Nangong family's clan competition. The Nangong family is truly impressive, especially Nangong Yanran. Not only is she hailed as the top beauty among the Eastern Wilderness' Ten Great Beauties, but she's also a Nascent Soul ancestor. You could say the family owes everything to her."
Chu Feng smiled. "Weren't you asking why I'm here at the Nangong family?"
"That's right." Zhao Dongdong immediately remembered.
Chu Feng said, "That's because Nangong Yanran is my woman."
Zhao Dongdong's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Brother Chu Feng, are you serious? Nangong Yanran is actually your woman?"
"That's right." Chu Feng nodded. "And you, ranked third among the Ten Great Beauties of the Eastern Wilderness—would you be willing to become my woman?"
"Ah." Zhao Dongdong leapt to her feet in shock, her face flushing crimson. If they weren't seated in the arena, she would have turned and left on the spot.
She hurriedly shook her head. "Brother Chu Feng, I... I'm a man."
Chu Feng smiled. "Really? I remember Little Fatty was a girl. It's only been a hundred years—don't tell me you've changed from a girl to a boy, Zhao Dongdong."
"No," Zhao Dongdong blurted out anxiously. "Brother Chu Feng, actually, I already have someone I like."
"Who?" Chu Feng's expression changed instantly, and he snorted coldly. "Someone dares compete with me for a woman? Courting death."
Zhao Dongdong was stunned, never having imagined that someone like Chu Feng—old enough to be her grandfather, maybe even older—would try to claim her as his woman and say such things.
In truth, her claim that she liked someone was just a convenient excuse.
Now, what should she do?
If a Nascent Soul ancestor really wanted to possess her, she would be completely powerless to resist.
Just as Zhao Dongdong was growing increasingly anxious—
A figure appeared in her line of sight, making her brighten up. She waved at a young man not far away and called out, "Han Feng, over here!"
Han Feng saw Zhao Dongdong and was briefly surprised, then delighted. He walked over with a cheerful smile.
He had long coveted Zhao Dongdong, but unfortunately, she never gave him the time of day. Now, she was actually calling out to him.
No one knew Han Feng was, in fact, a transmigrator—from Blue Star, no less.
He also possessed a system.
It was called the Supreme Pursuit System.
Whenever the system identified a beauty, if he won her over, he would receive vast rewards.
And Zhao Dongdong was one of the beauties the system had highlighted.
According to the system's classification, beauties ranged from F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, to SSS—nine levels in total.
The higher the beauty's rank, the greater the rewards.
In his system, Zhao Dongdong was an S-rank beauty.
Over his thirty-plus years since transmigrating, he had only ever encountered beauties up to A-rank, and that's how he barely reached the late Foundation Establishment stage in cultivation.
Of course, he had received a Grand Ascension-level cultivation technique as a reward from one such A-rank beauty.
If he could win Zhao Dongdong over, wouldn't he be able to obtain at least a Tribulation Sovereign-level reward?
As he approached, elated by his prospects, his system suddenly issued a new notification.
"Zhao Dongdong: SS-rank beauty."
What?
Double S rank.
Boom.
At that moment, Han Feng felt as if his entire being exploded with excitement, his heart pounding so violently he could barely breathe.
Did he realize what that meant?
At the very least, he would be guaranteed a treasure, artifact, technique, or pill of Immortal Emperor level.
No matter what, Zhao Dongdong had to be his.
"Zhao Dongdong, you are mine."
Just as Han Feng walked over, brimming with joy, Chu Feng's system also issued a prompt.
"Beep, beep, beep.
Detected a Tribulation Sovereign approaching. This individual possesses a system and is the host's lifelong nemesis—the Child of Destiny, Han Feng. Please prepare yourself."
What did that mean?
Chu Feng was momentarily taken aback.
Had he landed the script of the Great Villain?
The Child of Destiny of this story had just appeared.
As for a Tribulation Sovereign, Chu Feng didn't believe it for a second.
The system could only see hundreds or thousands of years into the future.
He immediately activated his All-Seeing Divine Eye to examine the newcomer.
A young man with a bright smile was walking over.
Han Feng.
Late Foundation Establishment stage.
Forty-eight years old.
Those were the details Chu Feng's Divine Eye revealed.
This man was actually the Child of Destiny? That complicated things, especially since his luck value was as high as five million.
Killing a Child of Fortune was easy, but killing the Child of Destiny was another matter entirely.
Attempting to kill the Child of Destiny would inevitably provoke resistance and a backlash from fate itself.
Unless he was suppressed repeatedly, forcing his luck to plummet—only then could the Child of Destiny be demoted to a Child of Fortune and slain at will.
To bring down a Child of Destiny, five suppressions were required.
On the sixth, he could be killed.
Zhao Dongdong, seeing Han Feng's broad smile, stiffened slightly. But, recalling Chu Feng's earlier words, she gritted her teeth and declared, "Brother Chu Feng, this is my fiancé, Han Feng."
Fiancé.
Han Feng was over the moon.
Finally!
He had pursued Zhao Dongdong for three years, and today she had finally agreed. "Dongdong, you really want to form a Dao partnership with me? Don't worry, I, Han Feng, swear I will treat you well."
But his happiness was short-lived.
In fact, he quickly became frustrated.
Because his system informed him that Zhao Dongdong's favorability towards him was still only 30.
He knew that a score of 60 was the bare minimum for acceptance; 30 was just the level of an ordinary friend.
He immediately asked his system for clarification.
The answer came quickly: Zhao Dongdong had no genuine intention of forming a Dao partnership with him. She was only saying this as a stopgap to deal with the present situation.
A lie.
Han Feng instantly felt like he was going mad.
But in the next moment, he started to smile.
Well, if I'm the shield, then I'll just turn this farce into reality. By then, not forming a Dao partnership with me would no longer be an option.
