Linglong, Are You Serious?

[You chose 1.]

[Pitch-black night, freezing wind—you sprinted wildly through the mountain forest.]

[You were heading for White Cloud County Town to seek refuge with your Third Sister.]

[White Cloud County bordered Qing River County. The two county towns were not too far apart, and you knew the general direction.]

[More than ten days later.]

[You fled for your life all the way, putting distance between yourself and the Black Stone Gang's pursuit.]

[You survived on wild fruit and game. Whenever you passed a village, you would sneak in and steal some grain. You nearly got caught by the villagers as a wild man.]

["Just one more mountain, and I'll reach White Cloud County Town..."]

[By now, your hair was a tangled mess and you were covered in mud. If not for the sharp gleam in your eyes, you hardly looked human anymore.]

[Suddenly, a group of figures sprang out from the woods and blocked your path.]

["This mountain was planted by me! This tree was opened by me..."]

[A familiar opening line.]

[You had run into bandits.]

[Their leader was even a female bandit, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with four chins and a face full of fleshy menace.]

[One look at her tonnage told you she was an expert.]

["Heroine, I don't have any money..."]

[The female bandit searched you inside and out. For some reason, you felt like she had taken advantage of the chance to grope you, repeatedly launching chicken attacks against you.]

["Just as I thought, a penniless bastard!"]

[You secretly relaxed.]

[You knew bandits were after money. Without any money, they presumably would not make things difficult for you.]

["But you're quite handsome. My former husband just died, and you came at just the right time! Hahaha! Take him away!"]

[The bandits tied you up like a dumpling and carried you up the mountain.]

[But, uh?]

[What kind of bandits kidnapped men for their looks?]

[That night, Flying Tiger Stockade was brightly lit.]

[That night, Flying Tiger Stockade was brimming with festivity.]

[That night, Flying Tiger Stockade drank itself into a stupor.]

[The joys and sorrows of people were never the same.]

[Your clothes were stripped off, and you were washed clean.]

[You were dressed in a groom's red wedding robes, covered with a red bridal veil, and made to sit in the bridal chamber waiting for the bride to lift your skullcap.]

[Listening to the bandits outside boasting and chatting, you roughly figured things out.]

[The female bandit who had captured you was called Xu Linglong. Her father, Xu Hu, was the First Leader of Flying Tiger Stockade.]

[Hearing that his daughter was getting married for the sixth time, Xu Hu was overjoyed.]

[The father and daughter were outside the bridal chamber right now. Xu Hu repeatedly reminded his daughter to be gentle and careful this time, and to make sure she got pregnant with a grandson.]

[Your scalp went numb as you suddenly realized how Linglong's former husbands had died.]

[Xu Linglong, reeking of alcohol, pushed open the bridal chamber door.]

["Little husband~ I've kept you waiting~~"]

[With every step Xu Linglong took, you felt the room shake, as though a tank were rolling over it.]

[You knew you could not escape calamity again.]

[But you could not just surrender without a fight. With your small, chronically malnourished body, you would be crushed to death!]

[You had to fight back!]

["Wifey, I like being on top."]

["All right~ We'll do as you say~"]

[A sleepless night; the earth shook and the mountains swayed.]

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi furrowed his brow, as though he had put on a mask of pain.

"You suffered. Big brother chose the wrong route. I'm sorry."

[The next day, you clung to the wall and barely managed to walk out of the room.]

[Xu Linglong was extremely satisfied with you and strictly ordered all the bandits in the stockade not to bully you.]

[Though you suffered at night, your days were not too bad.]

[You ate all the meat and fish you wanted and drank fine wine to your heart's content.]

[You did not need to do any work. All you had to do was bask in the sun.]

[If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author—it may have simply been renamed!]

[You said you wanted to practice martial arts, so Xu Linglong gave you all the Cultivation Methods in the stockade and let you choose freely. She taught you hand in hand.]

[Unfortunately, you had no Root Bone and could not enter the gates of Martial Dao. You could only learn some fist and kicking techniques to strengthen your body.]

[The second year, age nineteen.]

[Beginning trait extraction...]

[Extraction successful!]

["The Beauty of Ji Ni" (White): You excelled at singing, dancing, rap, and basketball.]

[Adjust trait?]

[Yes/No]

[You used "The Beauty of Ji Ni" to replace "Developed Deltoid."]

["It's still a useless trait, but don't bully the poor young man. As long as I live long enough, sooner or later I'll draw a useful trait!"]

[In your second year at the mountain stockade, your entire person was glowing with vitality.]

[Though you could not step into Martial Dao, you kept exercising—and were forced to keep exercising—so your constitution had been trained up.]

[You could not compare with Martial Artists, but you were much sturdier than ordinary people.]

[If you were not sturdy, you would already have followed those former husbands down their old road.]

[After a year together, Xu Linglong could not get enough of you, while you could not pull yourself free.]

[You had considered escaping, but Xu Hu and his daughter had run Flying Tiger Stockade like an iron bucket. You could find no opportunity.]

[You did not dare reveal that you wanted to escape either, afraid these bandits who turned hostile at the drop of a hat would chop you down with one stroke.]

[So, you pretended that you had integrated into stockade life. You even used the trait you had just mastered to perform a combo for Xu Linglong.]

["Hello, bandit brothers, I've been in the stockade for a year and a half...]

[After watching your set of Kun Fist, Xu Linglong's happy fat quivered wildly.]

["Husband, you're amazing!"]

[Suddenly, a panicked shout came from in front of the stockade gate.]

["Stockade Chief! Government soldiers are attacking!"]

[In the main hall, Xu Hu angrily smashed the bowl of wine in his hand.]

["What?! How did the government soldiers get up here without us hearing a thing? Where are the patrols? The sentries? The traps??"]

["It was the Second Leader! He colluded with the authorities and led the government soldiers up through the little road we use to transport goods!!"]

[Hearing this, your eyes lit up.]

[Your chance to escape had come!]

[Suddenly, a plump, fleshy hand grabbed your wrist.]

["Husband! Come with me!"]

[Xu Linglong possessed immense strength. You could not resist at all and were dragged away by her.]

[She brought you before a cave.]

["Husband, keep walking straight inside. This cave leads to another mountain. Only my father and I know about it. No one will chase you. Hurry and run!"]

["I... run?"]

[You had not expected Xu Linglong to be serious about you.]

[She seemed to have truly believed the side of you that you had acted out for them in the stockade.]

[Seeing you hesitate, she urged you again and again.]

["Husband! Don't worry about me, just run! I'll draw the government soldiers away for you! Go!"]

[She tossed you into the cave as though throwing away a little chick.]

[But...]

[Big sister! I'm not a bandit—why would I be afraid of government soldiers??]

[Xu Linglong wielded two massive hammers and charged toward the government soldiers without hesitation.]

[Watching her broad-backed, thick-waisted figure from behind, you pondered where to go from here...]

[1. Go deeper into the cave and leave through the secret mountain passage;]

[2. Return to the stockade and fight shoulder to shoulder with your wife;]

[3. Collude with the authorities and wipe out the bandits completely.]

[Please make your choice:]

[Chen Yi in the simulation was caught up in the situation and might be swayed by emotion.]

[But Chen Yi in reality was absolutely rational.]

[He knew his first simulation was crucial. He had to play it safe for as long as possible, stay alive, and draw more traits!]

[Obtaining an opportunity in Martial Dao was the only main thread of this simulation.]

["If I don't run now, when will I?"]
