"System, I admit that the protectors are indeed quite strong, but... are you sure you didn't get these two ladies' identities wrong?"
As he watched the two goddesses descend before him, Jiang Yan's thoughts stalled. Even without them saying anything, he already had an answer in his heart.
Angel God Qian Renxue and Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, the leaders of Spirit Hall twenty thousand years ago, both First-Level Gods.
System... you called this a rival comparable to Tang Hao, evenly matched with him?
[Replying to Host, the current protectors have been identified as Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Confirmation is correct.] [Both protectors come from parallel worlds. They may resemble the people in your mind, but both are Peak Second-Level Gods. When they unleash their power, they can reach First-Level God strength. They are extremely protective of their own...] [In short, they are more than enough to protect Host's happy life. Have a pleasant life.]
You called that confirmation...?
Jiang Yan fell silent. It seemed the system wanted him to go full Dragon Aotian all the way, didn't it?
Although...
He did not exactly object to that.
[Opening the two individuals' information panels for Host.] [Qian Renxue, First-Level God of the God Realm—Angel God. Due to damage to her godhood, she is currently a Peak Second-Level God. Restricted by the plane, her cultivation manifests as the limit of nine rings. Soul Ring configuration: two black, seven red. Martial Soul: Eight-Winged Angel. She also possesses the super divine artifact—Angel Holy Sword.] [Tag effects: God-Given Martial Soul (Gold), Angel God (Gold), Beauty That Topples Kingdoms (Gold), Angel Descendant (Red), Deep Affection (Red), Likes Younger Men (Purple), Love-Struck Fool (White)] [Bibi Dong, First-Level God of the God Realm—Rakshasa God. Due to damage to her divine position, she is currently a Peak Second-Level God. Restricted by the plane, her cultivation manifests as the limit of nine rings. Soul Ring configurations: two black, seven red; three black, six red.] [Martial Souls: Death Spider Emperor, Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. She also possesses the super divine artifact—Rakshasa Scythe.] [Tag effects: Twin Martial Souls (Red), Rakshasa God (Red), Beauty That Topples Kingdoms (Gold), Deep Affection (Red), Likes Younger Men (Purple), Love-Struck Fool (White)]
"..."
"Um, you two can get up first."
"Just sit down. No need to be nervous."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath. After briefly reviewing the information, he looked at the two God Rank beings from twenty thousand years ago and tried to keep his tone calm.
Honestly, he seemed even more nervous than they were. After all, these were beings from tens of thousands of years ago, and both were peerless goddesses. Come to think of it...
Those who knew they were protectors would understand, but anyone who did not might think he was a child husband.
"Yes, Young Master."
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong rose respectfully.
However, after glancing around the room and noticing that there was only one bed besides the sofa, they hesitated as though they wanted to say something.
"May we sit beside you?"
"Mm, sure."
Jiang Yan froze for a moment before nodding. Of course they should sit beside him. Sitting on the bed would be inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.
Of course...
His bed was rather large.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, then immediately sat down on either side of Jiang Yan.
This experience of being embraced from both sides gave Jiang Yan—whose dream was to marry several wives while becoming invincible under heaven—the faint feeling that his dream had been fulfilled ahead of schedule.
Naturally, that was only if he ignored the fact that he was still a child.
"With these two around..."
"I really can walk sideways across Douluo Continent."
Jiang Yan sighed inwardly. Who were Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue? Former First-Level Gods who even possessed super divine artifacts.
Would two powerhouses like them really not...
Beat Tang Hao into a pile of mush?
[Host, the cultivation of the two protectors is ultimately only at the Peak Second-Level God level. If they act casually, one-on-one, they may not necessarily be able to match Tang Hao...]
The system offered a warm reminder.
"Just tell me whether they can turn him into minced meat."
Jiang Yan replied silently.
[Well... it probably wouldn't be minced that finely.]
The system answered honestly.
"..."
Jiang Yan felt somewhat embarrassed, but also a little surprised. It seemed the system possessed some self-awareness after all.
"System, what categories are there for the Perfect Growth missions? The Martial Soul awakening from earlier barely counts as one, so what comes next?"
At that moment, he could not help asking inwardly.
There was something rather interesting about the system: perfect newcomer growth. But since he already had max-level tags, was that not simply a dimensionality-reduction strike?
The instant he asked, a mission panel abruptly appeared in his mind, displaying two missions—
[Mission: Break Through as a Soul Master] [Having awakened Innate Full Soul Power, you need only one Soul Ring to step into the realm of a Soul Master. This is also the first step of your growth. Completion reward: Soul Ring adaptive enhancement to optimal.] [Complete the mission to obtain the achievement: Noble Soul Master.] [This is the beginning of your extraordinary achievements and the starting point of your invincibility in this world. The legend of the Dragon God begins... here!] [Mission: Academy Life] [After awakening your Martial Soul, you have preliminarily gained the qualifications to enter a Soul Master Academy for study. Join any Soul Master Academy and become the brightest star.] [...]
"Even though I already possess immense talent..."
"It still wants me to take the steady, step-by-step route?"
"Fine."
Faced with these overly simple missions, Jiang Yan did not think much of them. The reason he had worked so hard as a child was that he feared being hit by a dimensionality-reduction strike in the future. Now that he had the chance...
Then...
He would be the one putting pressure on others.
"You two... Sisters, can you conceal yourselves normally? If you stay by my side all the time, my family might..."
At that moment, Jiang Yan's gaze drifted involuntarily toward the two women beside him. His grandfather was in the living room. If he found out that two older sisters had suddenly appeared in his bedroom...
It would obviously cause unnecessary misunderstandings!
"Please rest assured, Young Master. The two of us will normally reside within your sea of consciousness and will not appear too often."
"Nor will we... interfere too much with your life."
Bibi Dong smiled gently and spoke solemnly.
"Sister Dong'er is right."
Qian Renxue agreed as well.
"Mm! That's for the best."
Only then did Jiang Yan let out a sigh of relief. Yet for some reason, the excessively gentle tone of the people before him...
Gave him a strange sense that something was off.
Come to think of it...
Remembering the identical [Likes Younger Men] tags on both of them, he could not help asking the system:
"What kind of parallel world is this?"
[Replying to Host, it is just an ordinary parallel world.]
"Mm, it had better be."
"..."
