"I choose 2!"

Yun Shenwei made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

If he still could not choose correctly on such an obvious multiple-choice question, he would truly be an idiot. Besides, he had been called a genius youth in the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Congratulations to the host for making a wise choice! The probability of breaking through your current realm has increased by 100%. The next choice will be available at a random time. System message: Since you have made the right choice, no matter how many doubts come from the outside world, please do not give up easily."

The Extraordinary Romance System's voice gradually faded from his ears, and time resumed its normal flow.

Before him, Nalan Yanran's eyes were full of innocent affection as she waited for her beloved's reply.

"Ahem... Yanran, actually, Senior Brother likes you very much too. You were born into a distinguished family, you have great cultivation talent, and you're beautiful, gentle, obedient, and sensible. Whoever marries you would truly be blessed for three lifetimes."

Yun Shenwei gathered his emotions and began his sincere confession. "But we are still young and at a crucial stage of cultivation. You are also Sect Leader Yun Yun's successor, and Senior Brother does not want to hold you back too much."

"Wuwuwu... Shenwei Senior Brother, is it because Yanran has a childhood betrothal with Xiao Yan that you are unwilling?"

Tears welled in Nalan Yanran's eyes, making her look pitifully adorable. "Yanran does not like that Xiao Yan at all! And this marriage was arranged by Yanran's grandfather and Xiao Yan's grandfather. They're so selfish!"

"Of course not, you little fool. What nonsense are you thinking? How could Senior Brother dislike you because of such a feudal childhood betrothal? What Senior Brother means is that I am willing to grow up with you and protect you for the rest of my life. But Yanran, you must understand that we will face many storms in the future. There may even be many people who do not understand us."

Yun Shenwei smiled gently and reached out to fondly ruffle Nalan Yanran's head.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, then will you come with Yanran to see Master Yun Yun later? Master Yun Yun loves Yanran the most, and she likes you too. As long as we go and tell her together, Master Yun Yun will definitely help us!"

After hearing the young man's words, Nalan Yanran felt as though she had eaten honey. Her heart was sweeter than ever, and she had already made up her mind to face whatever storms lay ahead together with Senior Brother.

"A forced Main Quest has been triggered. Please agree to Nalan Yanran's request and seek Sect Leader Yun Yun to propose dissolving the engagement. Note: This quest has been forcibly activated. The host cannot refuse. Completion condition: Yun Yun agrees to the matter. Friendly reminder: Yun Yun is softhearted. The host must remain firm and unwavering. Reward: Free activation of the Dimensional Warehouse, All Heavens and Myriad Realms Mall, and one Random Identity Card."

The Extraordinary Romance System's voice entered Yun Shenwei's ears, but this time, time did not stop.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, why are you spacing out? Yanran wants to hear your answer."

Nalan Yanran shook Yun Shenwei's arm, and it seemed as though pearls were about to spill from her large eyes again.

"Alright. Senior Brother promises that I'll go see Sect Leader Yun Yun with you later."

Yun Shenwei answered with a resolute expression.

"Yanran knew Senior Brother was the best!"

Having received his affirmative answer, Nalan Yanran smiled so brightly that she swayed with delight. She kissed Yun Shenwei on the right cheek, then ran out of the room with her face flushed red.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, Yanran is going back to change clothes. You should wash up too, and remember to dress more formally. We'll meet in front of the Misty Cloud Sect's Council Hall."

Before leaving, the girl reminded him from the doorway, looking exactly like a sweet and considerate young wife.

"I truly never expected that I, Yun Shenwei, would be so lucky. I originally thought Nalan Yanran would be a proud daughter of heaven, but I never expected her to have such a gentle and shy side before the man she loved. Since the beauty has feelings for me, I must return them. In this life, I am willing to travel the world with her and admire the blooming flowers of countless realms."

Yun Shenwei sat up from the bed and carefully examined himself in the bronze mirror. With clear brows and handsome features, he was every bit a dashing young man. His ordinary moon-white disciple robe somehow gave him the carefree, transcendent air of an exiled immortal. No wonder a proud daughter of heaven like Nalan Yanran had fallen for him.

Sure enough, what novels said was true.

Being handsome gave you an advantage.

Being handsome and strong gave you an even greater advantage.

Being handsome, strong, possessing a Sense of Justice, and having a system at your side meant that I, Yun Shenwei, was invincible in the Battle Through the Heavens world! He did not waste any time, quickly washing up and changing into a brand-new moon-white disciple robe.

He admired himself in the bronze mirror for a while, calculated how long it would take a girl to dress up, and then prepared to leave.

Just as he stepped out of his room, he suddenly remembered that he had not brought his sword. He turned back, picked it up, and fastened it at his waist.

The spring breeze blew through the Misty Cloud Sect, where peach blossoms burned brilliantly. A few immortal cranes occasionally flew across the sky, while clouds and mist drifted beneath the dazzling sunlight, making the place seem like a paradise. "What a beautiful place! If I had not come, it would have been destroyed by that bastard Xiao Yan. How ironic."

Yun Shenwei walked along a path that was both familiar and strange, his heart filled with emotion.

Xiao Yan was not exactly a righteous gentleman either. Throughout Battle Through the Heavens, he had flirted ambiguously with who knew how many female cultivators. If not for the accidental affair with Medusa Queen and the fact that she bore his child afterward, did a lecher like him deserve her? Not only did he leave romantic debts everywhere throughout the early, middle, and later stages of Battle Through the Heavens, he also considered the cancellation of an engagement arranged before birth to be the greatest humiliation.

For the sake of so-called dignity, he wrote a letter of divorce? What a pity. The entire Jia Ma Empire knew that trash like him was not worthy of Nalan Yanran.

As someone who had transmigrated from Blue Planet to the Battle Through the Heavens world, he still caused such a mess. It was utterly ridiculous.

His so-called talent was nothing special. Without an absurdly overpowered Bug like that old man Yao Lao, what could he accomplish even if given ten thousand years? Could the position of Dou Di possibly be his? Keep dreaming! Hun Tiandi was more qualified to become a Dou Di than him. At the very least, the Soul Clan was more honorable than that brat Xiao Yan. They would not constantly launch sneak attacks and use dirty tricks like Xiao Yan. Just because he had a Golden Finger in the form of an old man by his side and secretly learned the absurd Flame Mantra that could evolve without limit, he thought he was invincible? He made one enemy today and another tomorrow. Without that old man Yao Lao's help, he would have died hundreds of times already, and he still dreamed of becoming a Dou Di? Go become a Dou Ghost instead! The more Yun Shenwei thought about it along the way, the angrier he became. He felt that his initial thought of becoming brothers with Xiao Yan had been completely wrong—ridiculously wrong!

Fortunately, the Extraordinary Romance System had appeared and shown him a broad road that was both righteous and full of promise.

"Greetings, Shenwei Senior Brother!"

"Greetings, Shenwei Senior Brother!"

"If only I were half as capable as Senior Brother..."

"Senior Brother is so handsome. As expected of the number one among our younger generation!"

When Yun Shenwei came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect's Ordinary Disciple Cultivation Area.

At that moment, groups of ordinary disciples were sitting cross-legged in diligent cultivation. When they saw Yun Shenwei, they immediately rose and bowed respectfully.

"No need for such formality. You are all destined to become the pillars of the Misty Cloud Sect in the future, so do not belittle yourselves. Cultivate diligently, and you will naturally obtain your own opportunities. Remember, the day a foal becomes a dragon will eventually come; all that one gains is the result of karma."

Yun Shenwei returned their salute with clasped fists and offered words of encouragement to his younger brothers and sisters.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother! We will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to the glorious reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect, the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire!"

The disciples once again bowed with clasped fists.

Yun Shenwei smiled faintly, turned around, and strode away.

He found himself liking this place more and more. It was not like certain novels described, where fellow disciples constantly schemed against one another. Perhaps everyone had a few minor flaws and bad habits, but in their daily lives, they surely cared for one another like family.

Of course, every place had its scum. Those exceptions were another matter!

Before long, he arrived at a vast plaza spanning a thousand zhang in every direction. At the far end of the plaza stood a magnificent, resplendent hall.

"What an awe-inspiring sight!"

Yun Shenwei could not help but sigh. Though he possessed memories of this place, that did not stop him from feeling reverence.

After walking swiftly for a while, Yun Shenwei soon arrived at the entrance to the hall.

Several dozen members of the Misty Cloud Sect's enforcement team stood outside the hall, their expressions cold and their killing intent intimidating.

Seeing this, Yun Shenwei took a jade token from his robe. The instant it appeared, the leader of the enforcement team raised his hand and loudly ordered, "Let him pass."

"Hehe, Shenwei Senior Brother, Yanran is over here."

Only seconds after Yun Shenwei entered the hall, he heard a sweet, bell-like voice.

"Junior Sister Yanran?"

Yun Shenwei instinctively looked toward the voice and saw Nalan Yanran standing not far away, smiling as she greeted him. Dressed in a light pink gown, she exuded the noble aura of a princess.

In this moment, Yun Shenwei truly wanted to recite a poem in praise of his beloved...

It is impossible to follow the original work one hundred percent. If you want the original work one hundred percent, I recommend you go read the original directly! Please—

Please forgive me, dear readers. If you have any good suggestions or discover any flaws in this book, you may point them out. I may not be able to reply conveniently, but I will certainly humbly accept your valuable suggestions. So let me thank everyone in advance!
