Marriage System

"Xiaofeng, a really interesting guy just came to the city. His name is Yu Xiaogang, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He is already 20 years old, yet he only has rank-29 Soul Power."

"Xiaofeng, this Yu Xiaogang is so inspiring. His Martial Soul is the malignantly mutated Luo Sanpao, and his Innate Soul Power is only half a rank, but he hasn't given up. He told me that there are no trash Martial Souls, only Soul Masters who don't know how to cultivate. He wants to enter our Spirit Hall's scripture pavilion to study, and I've decided to take him over."

"Lin Feng, Xiaofeng is simply the embodiment of wisdom—mature, clever, and indomitable. He has so many excellent qualities worthy of admiration."

"Lin Feng, let's call off our engagement. You're too childish and simply can't compare to Xiaofeng. Go tell Teacher that you don't like me, and dissolve the engagement under Teacher's witness. This is for the best for both you and me."

Spirit Hall, Lin Family Courtyard.

The moonlight was desolate and hazy, enveloping the surrounding wilderness like a thin veil.

Bibi Dong, now at the blossoming age of sixteen, was youthful and radiant. With her seed-pod face, cherry lips, straight nose, and picturesque eyebrows, her facial features were exquisite to the extreme, and her skin was so delicate that not a single pore could be seen, resembling warm, glossy jade.

A purple palace dress tightly wrapped around her proud figure. Her chest was full and heaving, with slender stems bearing rich fruit. Looking further down, her waist narrowed abruptly, slender enough to be grasped with a single-hand's span, and further still, her hips and pelvis were broader than her shoulders, rounded and plump like a fully ripened peach.

At this moment, her pretty face was expressionless, and her red lips parted as she proposed to call off the engagement to the youth opposite her.

The youth was handsome, his expression wistful.

With black hair and black eyes and exquisite features, in terms of appearance he was not inferior to Bibi Dong in the slightest, his slightly slender figure standing upright like a great spear.

He wore a simple indigo martial outfit tied with a jade belt, and just standing there quietly was enough to make anyone unable to look away.

After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice like a gentle breeze sweeping across a desolate valley, pure, transcendent, and refined.

"Senior Sister, back when I awakened my Martial Soul and took Teacher as my master, you pinched my cheek, pitied me for having no parents, and said you would take care of me for the rest of your life."

"This engagement was also something you begged Teacher for."

"Now, you've forgotten your original promise and even want me to go ask Teacher to dissolve the engagement. Does your heart really not hurt?"

When a woman's heart changes, if you faint, she thinks you're sleeping; if you hang yourself, she thinks you're swinging on a macro.

Hearing Lin Feng's accusation, Bibi Dong's indifferent expression didn't flicker in the slightest, her pair of long, narrow, purple eyes gazing calmly at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, the past is in the past. At that time, I was 11 and you were 6, and neither of our minds was mature, so the engagement naturally doesn't count."

"If I were the one to propose dissolving the engagement, Teacher would definitely scold me. If you help me with this favor, consider it me owing you a favor. As long as Teacher dissolves the engagement, when there's an opportunity in the future and provided it doesn't violate my principles, I can help you with a small favor."

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. She really had washed her hands clean of it all.

"Hehe, Senior Sister, it's been a whole six years. We've been inseparable from morning till night. How did the relationship between us grow so distant?"

"Just because of Yu Xiaogang? That trash who can never break through rank-29 Soul Power—how long have you even known each other that you're willing to make such a fuss about breaking off our engagement for his sake?"

"You are not allowed to talk about Xiaofeng like that!" On Bibi Dong's indifferent, pretty face, emotional fluctuations appeared for the very first time.

Her pretty face filled with frost, her once-gentle gaze now looked as unfamiliar as if it had been quenched in ice, falling on Lin Feng like a knife.

"Xiaofeng's Martial Soul merely suffered a malignant mutation, resulting in poor talent, but he hasn't given up on himself. Relying on his own hard work, he cultivated from half a rank of Innate Soul Power to rank-29 Soul Power."

"With such perseverance and such courage, what right do you have to call him trash!"

"Lin Feng, do you have any idea how obnoxious you are right now? Aloof, self-righteous, and looking down on Xiaofeng just because of your talent—don't you think this is childish?"

"True great wisdom and courage lie in possessing a spirit that never gives up, no matter what desperate, adverse, or perilous situation one finds oneself in."

"Just like Xiaofeng, he fills himself with knowledge, is learned and accomplished, and possesses a wisdom as deep as the abyss. Although he cannot become a Martial Soul master, he has become a theoretical master."

"As for you, you're 12 years old with rank-52 Soul Power. Do you not even know how your rank-52 Soul Power came to be? If I hadn't taken you along to cultivate, you wouldn't even have rank-25 Soul Power, and you wouldn't be a match for Xiaofeng."

Lin Feng's strength was drained.

The once-clever, gentle, and kind Bibi Dong had now turned into this unreasonable appearance.

He had thought he could change Bibi Dong's destiny.

When things reached a head, nothing had changed.

Lin Feng turned his head, his gaze sharp as he looked at the smug figure standing outside the courtyard.

Yu Xiaogang.

With a crew cut, utterly ordinary features, a stiff facial expression, a rather unremarkable height, and wearing black-and-grey robes.

Thoroughly lost in a crowd on the street, he would never catch anyone's attention.

"Just him—pointed chin and monkey cheeks—where is there any sign of being learned and accomplished, with a wisdom as deep as the abyss?"

"Senior Sister, this is the last time I will call you Senior Sister. Bibi Dong, if you want to degenerate willingly, I won't stop you."

"As for this engagement, if you want it broken off, go tell Teacher yourself. I don't care for your favor, and I'm not willing to take the blame for you."

Bibi Dong clenched her silvery teeth, glaring furiously at Lin Feng.

"You still dare to insult Xiaofeng."

"Lin Feng, I know why you're unwilling to break off the engagement. You still love me and want to possess me, thinking that playing hard to get will make me change my mind."

"I'm telling you, that's wishful thinking."

"From the moment you aloofly insulted Xiaofeng as trash, there has been no possibility left between you and me."

"Since you won't break off the engagement and want to force me to play the bad guy, just wait and see."

"You won't regret this."

Bibi Dong turned and left with a swaying figure.

Lin Feng pressed his thin lips into a straight line, his hands clenched into fists.

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.

With a thought in his mind, he called upon the system.

[Name: Lin Feng]
[Martial Soul: Peacock]
[Soul Power: Rank 52]
[Soul Rings: Yellow (Touch of Green Wood), Yellow (Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens), Purple (Platinum Army Breaker), Purple (Profound Water Abyss), Black (Yellow Earth Undying)]
[Marriage Partner: Bibi Dong (Heart-Stirring Value: 40) (Inconstancy Value: 60)]

He had a system called the Marriage System.

Once the Heart-Stirring Value reached 60, it would meet the system's marriage standard, resulting in a marriage acknowledged by the system.

Both parties could gain immense benefits, their cultivation speed would increase drastically, and they could even perform a Martial Soul Fusion.

Over the past six years, relying on the blessing of the Marriage System, Lin Feng had broken through to rank-52 Soul Power at age 12, and Bibi Dong had broken through to rank-92 Soul Power at age 17.

In the eyes of outsiders, they were a golden boy and jade girl, a match made in heaven.

Who could have imagined that because of one Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong would be so eager to break off her engagement with Lin Feng.

One could only say that a bitch was a bitch.

In the original plot, Bibi Dong could betray Spirit Hall for Yu Xiaogang.

Now, Bibi Dong could also betray Lin Feng for Yu Xiaogang.

Lin Feng raised his head to look at the bright, clear moon hanging in the sky, standing with his hands behind his back to suppress the intense anger in his heart caused by the betrayal.

Inconstancy value 60—it's still not enough. Breaking off the engagement like this would only split away 60% of Bibi Dong's Soul Power; how could that ever do? Since she's the one who betrayed me, I should strip away all of her Soul Power and leave her completely cleaned out.
