The Childhood Sweetheart with a Disgusted Face

After seeing Tang San home.

Du Hao followed Old Jack back to his house and enjoyed a hearty meal.

Afterward, under Old Jack's threatening gaze, he accepted ten Silver Soul Coins and swayed his way back home.

Looking at the small pouch of Silver Soul Coins in his hand.

Du Hao's face was filled with worry; he had to know that the largest sum he had ever seen in this life was just a glimpse of Silver Soul Coins in someone else's hands.

(1 Gold = 100 Silver = 100 Copper.)

When had he ever seen such a large amount of money?

He didn't know what Village Chief Old Jack was thinking, not even worried that a little nobody like him might get robbed.

He sighed and decided to stop thinking about it.

He activated his cheat, and a pale blue screen appeared directly in front of him.

There were only a few simple options on it.

[Random Choice System.]

"Option One [White]: Facing the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony you have longed for, you decide to put aside your prejudices from your past life against the characters in the manga and awaken quietly.

Reward: Martial Soul [Random] (Available to claim)"

"Option Two [Black]: Facing the heinous Tang Buddha from your past life, you decide to report his identity to Su Yuntao during the awakening ceremony.

Reward: Martial Soul 'Self-Selected'"

He had already figured out the function of this system panel while exploring it. It provided directions without any harm; one only needed to choose either a kind thought or a malicious one to receive a random reward afterward.

Whether it was kind or malicious, as long as he could bear the consequences, he could obtain a reward.

So far, he had only received a few rewards; the smallest was helping an auntie pack cabbage, which rewarded him with 100 Copper Soul Coins.

The largest reward was the current one.

A random Martial Soul with a vague description—this was something Du Hao was very interested in! After all, as long as he obtained another Martial Soul, he would also be a dual Martial Soul possessor.

As he claimed the reward, a box popped up in front of him.

[Draw?]

[Yes] [No]

Seeing this on the system panel, what was there to hesitate about? He chose Yes immediately.

As he tapped it, the wheel began to spin rapidly.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the spinning wheel, his heart thumping wildly.

As the wheel stopped, the pointer landed steadily on an avatar.

Martial Soul: [Zhu Zhuqing]

"???"

As the last word was entered, the system issued the Martial Soul reward.

"Ding! Abnormality detected!"

"The Martial Soul possesses life characteristics. Please choose whether to forcibly convert it into a second Martial Soul."

Option One [White]: Forcibly converting a living being into a Martial Soul is too cruel; abandon the choice.

Reward: Childhood Sweetheart: Zhu Zhuqing (Innate Full Soul Power), identity rationalized.

Option Two [Black]: Hehehe, a mere Martial Soul dares to rebel? Forcible conversion!

Reward: Sentient Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power!

Looking at the pop-up window that had suddenly appeared, Du Hao, who had been frowning, fell silent.

What the hell was this situation?

And this second option, why did it sound like a villain? Had it eaten n number of Spirit Hall elders?

He lingered on the two options for a moment, then chose Option One without hesitation.

He had to remember that he was still a normal person; how could he do something so beastly?

Of course, he was a gentleman, and he would absolutely not do anything to the upcoming Zhu Zhuqing... really.

As Du Hao made his choice, the light that was about to transform into a Martial Soul took a turn.

It rushed toward Du Hao, condensed into a phantom, and continued to solidify.

A moment later.

He saw a maid with a cold, elegant temperament standing gracefully before him. The moment the young girl opened her eyes, she bowed respectfully.

"Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was dressed in a maid outfit, Du Hao was stunned for a moment. Because the maid in front of him was actually just a little bit taller than him.

She was clearly a loli version of Zhu Zhuqing.

Before Du Hao could even voice his confusion to the system, it provided an explanation as if it had foreseen his questions.

[Name: Zhu Zhuqing.]

[Race: Human.]

[Age: 6.]

[Martial Soul: Nether Spirit Cat.]

[Spirit Power: 10.]

[Background Information: A girl taken in by Du Hao during the winter when he was 4 years old. Because she rarely went out, the villagers basically did not know her.]

As he finished reading Zhu Zhuqing's information on the system panel, a new set of memories appeared in Du Hao's mind.

After checking the extra memories in his mind, Du Hao had more or less figured out the current situation.

Good heavens, this system was incredibly overpowered.

It seemed to have used some extraordinary means to arrange a reasonable identity for Zhu Zhuqing.

He could guarantee with 100% certainty that he had not experienced that realistic sequence of events before.

But now... that reality felt incredibly authentic.

The system had directly traveled through time and space to drop Zhu Zhuqing at that point in time. Before he had awakened his memories, she had truly lived with him for a period.

This was just unbelievable!

System, you're so amazing, does your family know? he couldn't help but ask the system in his heart.

However, the system ignored him, remaining in its cold, indifferent state, showing no signs of intelligence.

Seeing that the system ignored him, Du Hao felt a bit foolish and turned his attention back to his maid, his expression shifting.

After all, according to the transmitted memories, this little wild cat of his had come from the royal family, so why was she wearing a maid outfit... Oh, right, he was the one who made her wear it, so that was fine.

"Zhuqing, when did you get back?" Du Hao asked tentatively.

He knew for a fact that he hadn't seen Zhu Zhuqing once in the last three months. According to the causal logic, his maid must have gone off to do something.

Watching her little master's expression, Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes with an elegant motion and said with a hint of disdain, "Disgusting master, have you already forgotten your own orders?"

"You really are the pervert who asked me to wear a maid outfit; now you're even starting these kinds of games."

Seeing the look of disgust in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, as if she were looking at trash, Du Hao scratched his head awkwardly.

At this moment, he also recalled some things. It seemed that due to causality, Zhu Zhuqing had gone to Soto City to make purchases before he awakened his memories.

Even her Martial Soul had been awakened around the same time as his in Nuoding City. As for why the Spirit Hall hadn't noticed anything unusual?

That was all thanks to the system's influence.

It had directly applied the "Blind Douluo" buff to the spirit master who performed the awakening, causing him to gloss over the details.

Of course, none of that was the most important thing. Three months ago, this maid who was role-playing for him had taken care of him like a young master. If it weren't for the causal connection, she probably would have fattened him up by at least ten pounds over those three months.

Thinking of these things, Du Hao couldn't help but cover his mouth, looking at the maid Zhu Zhuqing before him with a face full of emotion.

He really wanted to thank his "son," the system, right now. This kind of ideal maid was simply too perfect for his tastes! Please bring her sister over too, thanks...
