Option One was rather strange—it even involved changing someone else's fate.
Changing Zichuan Mingyue's fate? This time, he would not only determine the course of his own future, but also Zichuan Mingyue's future life?
And what were Life Points? The system even had a Life Fate Shop?
Option Two was much simpler and more straightforward. With those rewards, he could practically establish himself in an undefeated position.
He would command an army of five hundred thousand, possess formidable strength himself, and receive the boost of aura buffs.
It almost seemed as though he was already invincible, with nothing able to stop his march toward dominating the world.
But that was only what could be seen on the surface. Lin Junyu saw things on a deeper level.
Judging by the loyalty of those five hundred thousand troops alone, they were far inferior to the Feather Forest Army he had trained personally. They merely obeyed Prince Lin's orders and were temporarily under his command.
They were still the Empire's soldiers—his imperial father's soldiers.
If forced to choose between the Empire and him, they would most likely choose the Empire. After all, their families and livelihoods depended on it.
They could never be like the Feather Forest Army he had trained, lived alongside day and night, and fought back-to-back with—soldiers willing to fight to the death for him.
Once the army rebelled, five hundred thousand people attacking one person would be enough. Even if his combat power increased tenfold or a hundredfold, it would be useless. Defeat would be inevitable! Lin Junyu knew well how the Overlord of Chu had met his end.
Moreover, Option Two would cut off the main quest. It was not sustainable and would prevent him from continuously farming rewards.
So while Option Two looked better, Option One was actually the most suitable choice for him.
Lin Junyu stared blankly at Zichuan Mingyue, though in truth, his mind was immersed in comparing the system's options.
As Zichuan Mingyue continued to be watched, her face grew redder and redder, and her thoughts began to run wild.
I just pinched his ear. He isn't thinking of getting revenge on me, is he?
And he keeps staring at my lips. Could it be... should I refuse?
Having reached his conclusion, Lin Junyu chose Option One.
[ Ding, the host has selected Option One. Distributing rewards! ]
At once, an image appeared in his mind. A red dot was marked on it, which must have been the ruins of the ancient civilization.
However, the image was surrounded entirely by ocean. It appeared to be outside the West River Continent.
A virtual screen that only he could see also appeared before him. Displayed on it was the Life Fate Shop the system had just unlocked.
His gaze moved down the virtual screen as he browsed the items in the Life Fate Shop.
[Light Ripple Art, Great Perfection Realm. Price: 100,000 Life Points]
[Berserk Gene. Price: 500,000 Life Points]
[Level 1 Commander Aura—Doubles the combat power of troops under one's command. Price: 1,000,000 Life Points]
[Level 1 Technology Aura—Increases the speed and capability of technological creation within one's faction by tenfold. Price: 1,500,000 Life Points]
The rewards that followed grew increasingly powerful. Even the War God Gene granted by the system was available in the shop. It could be said that the shop had everything one could possibly need.
One reward in particular had an effect that Lin Junyu found utterly overpowered.
[Emperor's Throne—A magnificent golden throne, essential for an emperor. Possesses the power to suppress all things. When the emperor sits upon it, he can defend against all attacks while amplifying every aura and ability he possesses. The amplification effect depends on the emperor's will. Theoretically, there is no upper limit to its amplification!]
But the price of this reward was outrageously high. Lin Junyu did not even dare look at how many zeroes came after it.
The further he looked, the more feverish Lin Junyu's gaze became. His breathing grew heavier, and his eyes even showed signs of turning red.
Zichuan Mingyue could not see the virtual screen before Lin Junyu. All she felt was his gaze slowly moving down from her face and landing on her chest.
And his expression became increasingly strange, while his breathing grew heavier.
She began to panic. No way... I only twisted his ear once. Does he want to... No, absolutely not. We are not even married yet.
She immediately rose to her feet, turned away, and did not dare face Lin Junyu.
She only felt her head growing hotter and hotter, so hot that it seemed as though smoke would rise from it.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Sister Mingyue?"
Zichuan Mingyue's movement pulled Lin Junyu back to his senses. He did not dare keep looking at the system shop.
"You can't, Little Yu. We can't do that yet. Give me time to think about it, all right?"
After saying that, Zichuan Mingyue hurriedly ran out of the hall, leaving Lin Junyu with a face full of question marks.
???
What just happened? Wasn't she angry and twisting my ear just now? Why did she run away?
But that was fine. He did not know how to explain it to Zichuan Mingyue anyway.
Now, he had an aura that increased the bravery of the entire Feather Forest Army by 500%. If it covered the Feather Forest Army, every one of them would become like Superman. They might not be invulnerable to blades and spears, but they would certainly possess tremendous strength.
An army where every soldier could hold off a hundred men would be like a bulldozer on the battlefield.
He was already looking forward to the reactions of the world when they saw him lead this army in crushing advances and charging through the battlefield to slaughter the commander of the demon army.
The commander of a million-strong demon army? Was he really that hard to kill?
Sorry, she really was hard to kill. Then I could only use a tiny little cheat!
Lin Junyu stayed in the council hall, drawing up and refining some of the details for the decisive battle the day after tomorrow.
After all, he would be leading the charge into battle himself, so he needed to prepare the rear command orders and contingencies in advance.
By the time he finished, it was already quite late.
Lin Junyu stretched and prepared to head to the room Zichuan Mingyue had arranged for him to sleep in.
After walking down a long corridor, Lin Junyu arrived at a room. No lamp had been lit inside, and it was pitch-black.
But Lin Junyu could not be bothered to light one. Feeling his way through the darkness, he found the bed, took off his clothes, and climbed in.
"Lying down is still the most comfortable!"
Lin Junyu lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Before long, he had fallen fast asleep.
The moonlight was hazy, and in the dead of night, the moon quietly slipped behind the clouds.
Lin Junyu slept soundly, but in his groggy state, he felt something crawl into his covers.
He instinctively reached out to touch it. It was smooth, soft, and warm.
Startled, Lin Junyu opened his eyes and saw someone lying atop his chest. Under the dim moonlight, he made out who it was—Zichuan Mingyue.
Feeling the soft warmth pressing against his chest, with a fragrant breeze constantly lingering at the tip of his nose, Lin Junyu froze completely.
"Sister Mingyue, you..."
Before he could finish, something soft and tender pressed against his lips, stopping the words he was about to say.
A low whisper, intensely seductive and burning hot, reached his ear.
"Brother Yu, fulfill me... love me, will you?"
It was as if something had struck his mind. His whole being seemed to enter a space suffused with pink.
He gradually sank into it, wanting only to follow his body's instincts and fall into this damned haven of tenderness!
