I Really Didn't Do It on Purpose

Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Forest.

"Where am I?" Zhao Ming woke from his daze.

He found himself lying in a patch of grass, the blades prickling his skin and making him itch.

"Was I kidnapped? That shouldn't be possible."

"No, why are my hands so soft? And this body..."

Coming to his senses, Zhao Ming stared at his body in disbelief.

His rough, darkened skin had become tender, fair skin.

Obviously.

This was a child's body.

Did I transmigrate?

Having read plenty of transmigration and rebirth novels, Zhao Ming immediately realized what had happened.

Other than transmigration, there seemed to be no other explanation.

"Wait? Where did these women's clothes come from?"

As he stood and scanned his surroundings, Zhao Ming suddenly spotted a pile of unusually colored fabric directly ahead of him. At a glance, it was clearly a woman's dress. The dress was beautiful and carried a faint fragrance.

What was this?

Zhao Ming looked ahead.

Within his line of sight, a bare, graceful body was bathing in the pool before him.

She was an incomparably beautiful young woman!

Her skin was like creamy white jade, glowing with a lustrous sheen. Her ink-black hair drifted silently across the water's surface, soft and delicate in its beauty.

Her features were exquisite, as though carved from jade. Her slender neck and fair skin only made her seem more alluring and radiant, beautiful as a fairy.

Even a legendary celestial maiden could be no more stunning than this.

She was absolutely the most beautiful woman Zhao Ming had ever seen!

Compared to her, those internet celebrities and stars back on Earth were nothing but gaudy commoners!

The pool water was crystal clear. Through the rippling waves, Zhao Ming could vaguely make out the fair body hidden beneath the water.

This... I shouldn't be looking!

Zhao Ming's eyes widened involuntarily!

He had never expected that, as an old lifelong bachelor, he would be blessed with such a sight. The anxiety and unease of having just transmigrated immediately faded considerably.

About five or six minutes later, Zhao Ming finally calmed down. After feasting his eyes, he felt he should leave this troublesome place quickly. Otherwise, once the woman finished bathing, things would not end well for him.

"Crack." Heaven did not grant his wish. Just as Zhao Ming turned to leave, he accidentally stepped on a dry branch.

"Who's there?" Hearing the noise, the bathing woman's expression changed. Turning her head, she happened to see Zhao Ming preparing to sneak away.

I'm done for!

Zhao Ming's face immediately went pale. He turned back awkwardly and waved at her. "Hello!"

"Ah! Pervert!"

Startled, the woman hurriedly covered her body. Then, with a wave of her right hand, the clothes beside Zhao Ming were swiftly drawn over to her.

"Fairy Sister, this is a misunderstanding. Don't worry, I absolutely didn't see anything. Um, I'll be going now." Zhao Ming explained as he turned and ran.

He had seen it clearly: with just a wave of her hand, that woman had pulled clothes from more than ten meters away. Someone with such abilities could kill him with ease.

"Kid, don't run! I'm going to kill you!" The woman's angry voice came from behind him, carrying a trace of chill that made Zhao Ming's scalp tingle.

"Run faster, or I'm dead." Zhao Ming's heart sank, and his feet moved even faster.

"Bastard!" Watching the peeping thief flee so quickly, she cursed furiously in shame.

She did not understand why an outsider had suddenly appeared here.

This was the Inner Perimeter of the Star Dou Forest, a place rarely visited by people. Before coming here to bathe, she had checked the area over and over. There should not have been anyone here!

Could he have been lying in wait here all along, and she simply failed to notice him?

But no matter what, she could not let him leave alive! Otherwise, she would never be able to face anyone again.

After quickly getting dressed, she shot toward Zhao Ming at extreme speed.

Fuck, was this woman cheating?!

Zhao Ming looked back and nearly jumped out of his skin.

The woman had just been getting dressed, yet in only a moment, she was already about to catch up.

"Binding the Strongest Sign-in Task System..."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully binding the Strongest Sign-in Task System!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on signing in at Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest. Reward obtained: Puppet Martial Soul."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Newbie Gift Pack!"

Douluo Continent?

Had I transmigrated to Douluo Continent?

"Kid, where do you think you can run now?" Just as Zhao Ming was lost in thought, a cold voice sounded behind him.

The instant the voice rang out, a sense of danger that made Zhao Ming's scalp tingle surged through him. Almost instinctively, Zhao Ming slipped aside and dodged the attack.

Boom! A tree over a meter in radius in front of Zhao Ming was instantly split in half.

"Wait, you can't kill me. I'm still just a child. How can you attack a child?" Knowing he could not outrun her, Zhao Ming hurriedly tried to stall for time.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Ming's words, the woman was visibly stunned. She had clearly not expected that the one who had peeped at her was such a young child.

Seeing her freeze, Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Focusing his mind inward, he shouted, "Open the Newbie Gift Pack!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on opening the Newbie Gift Pack. You have obtained Puppet Flame Spirit Princess. Would you like to attach her as the first Soul Ring of your Puppet Martial Soul?"

Flame Spirit Princess?

Flame Spirit Princess from Nine Songs of the Moving Sky?

One of the goddesses of Chinese animation!

Happiness had come too suddenly, and Zhao Ming could not help getting excited. Was this my golden finger?

"Hurry up! Can't you see I'm being chased down?"

"Ding! Attachment successful. Congratulations, Host, on becoming a Soul Master. Your current strength is Level 11."

"System, what is the strength of the person over there?" Zhao Ming asked after thinking for a moment.

"The woman's strength is Level 21 Soul Grandmaster."

So strong? Then I'd better reason with her! Zhao Ming thought nervously.

"Fairy Sister, this really is a misunderstanding. I really didn't mean to look. No, I didn't see anything at all." Considering her strength, Zhao Ming had no choice but to admit defeat.

With a little more confidence in his heart, Zhao Ming raised his head and carefully examined the woman.

She wore a long white dress.

Because the moisture on her body had not yet dried, the dress clung tightly to her figure. Beneath its outline, it revealed her graceful and curvaceous silhouette.

"Hmph, what a glib little brat! You already know to peek at girls bathing at such a young age. What will become of you when you grow up?" The woman in white snorted coldly. "Even if I kill you, it would be upholding justice, saving other girls from being harmed by you in the future."

"I'm innocent! I really didn't see anything." As Zhao Ming spoke, he secretly mobilized his Soul Power.

After the system's infusion, he had completely mastered the methods of using Soul Power. In terms of Soul Power usage and control alone, he was absolutely no weaker than any Soul Master who had cultivated it for decades.

"Hmph, do you think saying you didn't see anything settles it? Don't worry, since you're still so young, I won't kill you. I'll only gouge out your eyes." The woman snorted and narrowed her eyes.

"I only accidentally saw you bathing, and you want to gouge out my eyes? Bah! With that little body of yours, I wouldn't even look if you begged me to."
