Ten-pulls Ruin Your Life, Single Pulls Make Miracles

"My sisters, I trust His Majesty! Since he said it, he'll certainly plan a good way forward for us! Stay here in Chaoge a little longer, and you'll see exactly what kind of man he is and understand why I trust him!"

At that moment, Daji looked at Hu Ximei and Yu Linglong, enunciating every word, her voice brimming with confidence in Di Xin.

Although Hu Ximei still hesitated a little, she trusted Daji deeply. With Daji saying so, she nodded and agreed.

As for Yu Linglong, she nodded eagerly again and again, a delighted smile spreading across her face.

To her, as long as someone helped her think through these things, letting her run around, enjoy the excitement, and play a tune in her spare time, life was wonderful!

Under these circumstances, Di Xin had already become, in her eyes, the best big... brother-in-law in the world!

Yes, protect the world's best brother-in-law...

No, be protected by the world's best brother-in-law!

"You sisters haven't seen each other for several days. Go have a proper reunion. Tonight, your brother-in-law will prepare something delicious for you..."

Di Xin waved his hand and spoke with a chuckle. Seeing Daji lead Hu Ximei and Yu Linglong away, chatting and laughing, he suddenly remembered something and wanted to say a word to Hu Ximei. But just as the words reached his lips, his eyes shifted, and he swallowed them back down.

"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave as well." Meanwhile, Queen Jiang gracefully curtsied to Di Xin. She was just about to leave when her gaze suddenly changed. With excitement and curiosity, she asked him, "Your Majesty, what exactly is that 'ten feet of scarlet'? I'd like to learn it..."

For some reason, she felt it would be wonderfully imposing to wave her hand and declare, "Then reward so-and-so with ten feet of scarlet."

Could Queen Jiang actually have a hidden talent for being a mad empress lurking in her genes?!

At her words, Di Xin sucked at his teeth and drew in a sharp breath before smiling. "As the name suggests, ten feet of scarlet... means taking a red feather ten feet long and gently tickling the person being punished, all the way from their head to the soles of their feet, little by little. The slower, the better..."

Queen Jiang shuddered. Having the soles of her feet tickled with a feather was terrifying enough, let alone being tickled from head to toe with a feather ten feet long. How frightening would that feel? Wouldn't even one gentle stroke send all three souls and seven spirits flying out of her body?!

"My queen, you are the mistress of the harem. What you should study is virtue and proper conduct, not these petty tricks. There's no need to learn them."

Di Xin hurriedly added another warning to Queen Jiang.

If his harem ended up with a queen who bestowed "ten feet of scarlet" on people at the drop of a hat, wouldn't he have to deal with a production of Empresses in the Palace before he had even sorted out the Investiture of the Gods? If he remembered correctly, the emperor in Empresses in the Palace had been poisoned to death...

"I shall remember. Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty." At his words, guilt immediately appeared on Queen Jiang's face. After apologizing to Di Xin, she glanced in the direction Daji and the other two women had gone. Then two rosy clouds floated onto her cheeks. Shyly staring at her constantly shifting toes, she said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, "I hope Your Majesty can visit Weiyang Palace tonight and let me listen closely to your instruction, so I won't make such mistakes again."

Tonight... listen to my instruction...

Queen Jiang, something's not right with you!

You're not craving my instruction, are you? You're craving my body!

Hearing this, Di Xin looked at Queen Jiang with righteous solemnity and said gravely, "My queen, do you think I don't know what's on your mind? You're far too vulgar!"

"I know I was wrong! I only saw that Sister Daji..." Queen Jiang trembled at his words. Undisguisable disappointment spread across her face as she hurriedly begged Di Xin's forgiveness.

"But I like it!"

Before she could finish, however, Di Xin burst out laughing.

???

Three enormous question marks appeared over Queen Jiang's head as she contributed 66 negative emotion points to Di Xin. Then, unbearably embarrassed, she glanced at him as he laughed heartily and watched her with a teasing expression. Leaving behind the words, "Your Majesty, you're so naughty! All you ever do is bully me. I'll be waiting tonight for Your Majesty to give me some thorough instruction..." she ran toward Weiyang Palace, both cheeks crimson.

System, you're turning me into a pervert!

Di Xin heaved a long sigh. Without realizing it, he had grown accustomed to putting the acquisition of negative emotion points first, no matter what he did!

Even when something this delightful happened, he still remembered to say something irritating!

Oh well. Tonight, I'll give Queen Jiang some proper instruction to make it up to her!

Di Xin glanced at Queen Jiang's slender yet voluptuous figure as she departed, and a sudden heat rose in his heart.

Next, I'll take half of these +61653.4 negative emotion points and use them for prize draws!

Then Di Xin suppressed the heat in his heart and glanced at the vast quantity of negative emotion points he had accumulated in just half a day. His heart burned even hotter. He hurried back to his bedchamber, eager to see whether, after earning so many negative emotion points in half a day, he could finally have a lucky streak and become a luck emperor!

Let's draw!

Once he reached his bedchamber, Di Xin made his decision without hesitation. He would keep +31653.4 negative emotion points to improve his cultivation realm and spend the remaining thirty thousand entirely on prize draws!

Each draw cost five hundred negative emotion points. He refused to believe that he could draw sixty times and still get nothing!

[The system has automatically upgraded, unlocking the ten-pull function. The Host may spend 5000 negative emotion points to draw rewards once...]

As soon as Di Xin opened the system's prize draw page, a notification popped up. Then he saw that a ten-pull button had appeared beside the draw options on the Big Prize Wheel.

"Ten-pulls... heh, trying to trick me again! Do you think I've never heard that ten-pulls ruin your life, single pulls make miracles, and single pulls are the eternal god?!"

Seeing this, Di Xin immediately gave three cold chuckles and selected the single-pull option without a second thought.

"Thanks for Playing..."

"Thanks for Playing..."

"..."

In the blink of an eye, Di Xin's face began twitching violently as though he had a toothache.

Weren't single pulls supposed to make miracles? Why had I burned through 5000 negative emotion points doing nothing but single pulls, only to get Thanks for Playing every time?!

At that moment, Di Xin felt his liver trembling, his heart aching fiercely, and his kidneys spasming...

Emotion points are hard to earn, but spending them... is so fucking fast!

"Heh, single pulls are for broke dogs. Ten-pulls are for luck emperors!"

Di Xin gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and jabbed the ten-pull button.

"Thirty-Nine Minor Mystic Art! Jade Gourd! Three Heads and Six Arms! Immortal Binding Rope! Invisibility Talisman!"

Watching the pointer whirl around the Big Prize Wheel, Di Xin clenched his fists and silently urged it on, desperately hoping for a lucky streak!

Bang!

After the pointer spun for a short while, fireworks suddenly burst across the Big Prize Wheel, accompanied by flashes of light. They startled Di Xin, but they were dazzling!

What fucking good are flashy effects? Give me something!

[Congratulations to the Host on drawing three stalks of Dao-Merging Grass...]

As the light faded, three stalks of Dao-Merging Grass slowly appeared...

Ten thousand spent, and this is all I got... System, you're way too fucking real!

Di Xin was utterly speechless. This system was a bottomless pit!

When Di Xin took out the Dao-Merging Grass, he became even more speechless. Of the three stalks, two were actually exclusive Dao-Merging Grass for the Minor Pickpocketing Art. Only one was Ordinary Dao-Merging Grass.

He strongly suspected that this was some balancing mechanism the system had deliberately set up to burn through his negative emotion points. Still, exchanging ten thousand negative emotion points for three stalks of Dao-Merging Grass was cheaper than buying them in the Bargain Mall!

At this thought, Di Xin couldn't help brightening up. As the saying went, not taking a loss was a profit!

[Minor Pickpocketing Art, mastery points: 16/3000...]

Without a second thought, Di Xin swallowed the two exclusive stalks of Dao-Merging Grass. Upon seeing the system notification, he immediately responded with three cold chuckles: "Heh, heh, heh."

He had known it. How could this shitty system possibly award more than five mastery points?

"Give me a better Great Dao Law Fragment!"

Then he repeated the wish silently and swallowed the stalk of Ordinary Dao-Merging Grass, hoping it would give him something different-at least something fit for the world of the living.

[Congratulations to the Host on earning the Three Blossoms Achievement. Minor Pickpocketing Art mastery points +5. Total mastery points: 21/3000...]

Di Xin was struck speechless, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. It was as though he could hear someone snickering and shouting in his ear, "Well? Surprised? Unexpected, right? Feels good, doesn't it?!"

Only then did he fully realize that this shitty system wasn't a god-tier pitfall. It was a fucking sage-tier pitfall!

And at the level of a Heavenly Dao Sage like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, at that...
