True Origin Continent, Cambrian Kingdom.
Ever since the Tian Yuan Era began, the snow above the Monster Beast Mountain Range had never stopped falling.
Boundless wind and snow swept across ten thousand miles, vast and mighty enough to obscure the mountain shadows, swallowing every living thing.
Yet within it stood a mountain where bamboo and grass flourished, spring reigned through all four seasons, hot springs gurgled, and fine snow danced. Alone amid the snow curtain ravaging the mountain range, it remained untouched, like a paradise rising from mud without a stain.
It was located in the southeast of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, at the convergence of three fiery veins—
Snow Flame Mountain!
Built against the mountain, Snow Flame Sect was wreathed in clear qi and blessed with outstanding people and fertile land. It ranked among the Dao Alliance's Earth-Rank Sects and was the only righteous sect still standing within the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Like a sharp blade thrust into demon territory, Snow Flame Sect had always stood on the front line of eliminating demons and defending the Dao. It was a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the nearby Demon Sects and Devil Gates, all of whom wished to pull it out as quickly as possible.
Today was a joyous day for Snow Flame Sect.
At the same time, it was also a day of shock and fury for most of the sect's male cultivators.
For Master Yuhu, the esteemed Pill Elder, peerlessly graceful and single for a hundred years, had suddenly announced that she was taking a Dao companion...
What was even stranger was that her Dao companion was neither an exceptionally gifted favored child of heaven, nor a powerful imperial noble of the Cambrian Kingdom, much less the Sect Overseer of Heavenly Dao Pavilion who had pursued her for so long.
What made everyone's jaws drop was that Elder Yuhu's Dao companion was actually a young disciple from Snow Flame Sect's Errand Disciple Quarters, someone with utterly ordinary talent.
The entire sect was shaken, and the whole kingdom erupted in uproar!
It even drew the attention of Dao Alliance Headquarters...
That night.
Snow Flame Mountain, Hundred Herbs Peak.
To the east, stalks of dark bamboo stood like swords piercing the heavens. Together with clusters of unbloomed peach wood, they formed a grove around a gurgling pool of spring water beside the cliff.
The waters of Ten Directions Spring were as clear as a lake, yet vast misty ripples drifted above them, a magnificent sight to behold.
Beside the spring, an ancient peach tree with twisted, knotted roots bore scattered crimson flower buds. Falling snow petals melted at their tips, turning into sweet dew.
Beneath the peach tree, a white-haired fairy in a pale green cloak sat cross-legged upon a woven rush mat.
Snow rested upon her long lashes. Her eyes were closed, yet seemed to hold light within. Her white hair was coiled into a sword-cloud bun, and a Nine-Petal Peach mark adorned her snowy brow.
Her skin was so fair it was impossible to distinguish from the falling snow, while her eyes were clearer than a young girl's. Her features resembled an ink landscape sketched in simple strokes—exquisitely delicate, yet utterly indifferent.
Combined with her nearly expressionless face, she gave people the illusion that though she was close at hand, she was as distant as the edge of heaven.
She was Snow Flame Sect's Pill Elder—
Master Yuhu.
Tonight was her joyous night.
Facing the young Dao companion before her—whose talent was ordinary, who had nothing but a handsome face, yet remained completely unruffled as he quietly flipped through and inspected the marriage contract—Master Yuhu closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and spoke coldly:
"As a Laborer Disciple, you seem far too calm... Could it be that this elder is unworthy of you?"
The woman's voice was cold and pure, touched with a soft huskiness. It sounded like icy sand slipping into one's ears.
Pleasant to hear... but that was not the point.
Across the rush mat, the young laborer in gray cotton clothes slowly closed the marriage contract personally stamped by the Cambrian Kingdom Dao Supervision Palace and sighed inwardly.
It had finally worked!
After five years of transmigration and three years in the sect, after enduring countless hardships, he could finally lie down and win.
As one of the countless transmigrators from twenty-first-century Earth, Xiao Bai could proudly say—
Unlike those seductive transmigrators blessed with systems from the heavens, he had written his own system!
In his previous life, Xiao Bai had been a game hacker driven by pure interest, obsessed with a large online cultivation game called "True Spirit Continent."
Poor and exhausted from grinding, he had decided to write a personal Modifier for himself.
Starting by radically altering talent, adding points to every attribute, gaining luck, dealing nine hundred and ninety-nine damage with a single slash... He had long since grown tired of such ordinary Modifiers.
So that he could cultivate while lying flat, sit and discuss the Dao with fair-skinned, beautiful fairies, and ascend in broad daylight, he had put every single cheat skill point into charm.
Thus, this Targeted Charm Modifier only worked on fair-skinned, beautiful, powerful Righteous Path Fairies.
The requirement that they be fair-skinned and beautiful was for the pleasure of both body and mind.
The requirement that they be powerful was so they could carry him into the skies.
As for why they had to be Righteous Path Fairies... His cheating was already illegal, so how could he dare add another crime on top of it?
Besides, Righteous Path Fairies were also better for maintaining stability in the harem.
Maintaining stability was the most important matter of all.
It had to be said that those were happy days which still made Xiao Bai's soul linger in dreams whenever he recalled them.
A life where he could lie flat and still win was Xiao Bai's lifelong dream.
Unfortunately, even in the game, that dream had lasted only half a month before bursting like a bubble.
With the harem's infighting nearly grinding the Great Dao to dust, the game's officials quickly discovered and banned his account.
Yet before he could even grieve, Xiao Bai's vision went black, and he transmigrated into a real Cultivation World...
True Origin Continent!
The setting was roughly the same as in "True Spirit Continent," but the era was different.
This was the Tian Yuan Era, after the devastation of the Era of Dharma Decline. The Dao Alliance had unified the Cultivation World, implemented the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws, and halted the decline of spiritual qi.
Xiao Bai had transmigrated with his physical body, and his talent was even worse than that of the native mortals.
The bacteria and viruses honed through countless battles that filled his body had also been completely purified by spiritual qi, leaving them utterly useless.
Fortunately, his Targeted Charm Modifier had transmigrated with him!
Although it had malfunctioned somewhat and he could currently only view the Modifier's main panel without logging in to operate it, the Modifier's power remained.
To find a righteous, wealthy fairy who could let him cultivate while lying flat, he had first used his meager knowledge of physics and chemistry to manufacture and sell glass and soap in Chaoge City, the Cambrian Kingdom's capital. After spending two years gathering enough silver, he opened up connections and relationships within the Immortal Sect. With the qualifications of a mortal, he successfully joined Snow Flame Sect and became a glorious Laborer Disciple.
In the three years since entering the sect, Xiao Bai had never bothered cultivating in the Errand Disciple Quarters, yet he had built connections far and wide, leaving his footprints across the entire sect.
Whenever he had business or not, he ran to the Inner Sect. He was skilled at delivering letters, cutting bamboo, laying stone, admiring scenery, transporting Spirit Grain and spirit wheat, and searching for stray cats and dogs...
Over time, he had come to know quite a few fairies as lovely as flowers and far from weak in cultivation.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Snow Flame Sect's fairies were incredibly tsundere. They turned a blind eye to his charm; though they clearly liked him to death inside, they simply could not bring themselves to say it.
This left him anxious as though his heart were on fire, and at one point he even suspected that the Modifier had broken.
Until today, when Elder Yuhu, Snow Flame Sect's foremost beauty, brought him to Hundred Herbs Peak with a marriage contract in hand, not even giving him the option to refuse.
Direct, but I liked it!
Only then did Xiao Bai realize that the transmigrated Modifier had lofty standards—it only chose top-tier fairies.
Faced with Elder Yuhu's questioning, Xiao Bai finally raised his head to look at this respected, aloof, peerlessly graceful female elder.
She was completely unlike the cold and stern woman he had imagined. She was actually a round-faced beauty as tender as a young girl, though with a trace of frigidity!
A poem from his previous life said: "Should friends in Luoyang ask after me, my heart is a shard of ice within a jade pot."
What was more, she was a white-haired fairy...
What Chinese person could resist white hair?
Having confirmed it with a glance, Xiao Bai found this woman exceptionally fairy-like. She was exactly his type.
After that one look, Xiao Bai followed up:
"This disciple was simply too overwhelmed with joy. My mind went blank, and for a moment I forgot what to say. As for Dual Rest, this disciple is lowly in status—how could I possibly deserve it..."
"You are lying."
The female elder's picturesque face frowned faintly as she coldly interrupted Xiao Bai.
Master Yuhu faintly sensed a trace of heaven's will.
Speaking of which, she had originally only intended to casually find a man with the Balanced Five Elements Physique whom she found acceptable, so as to deal with the present crisis.
Who would have thought that this boy not only possessed a handsome face, but an extraordinary bearing as well, making it difficult for her to suppress the fondness rising in her heart?
A mere Laborer Disciple possessed such composure before favor and disgrace. Beneath his apparent calmness, like idle clouds and wild cranes, perhaps there hid the ambition of a great swan.
Could an unparalleled expert be living in seclusion within the sect?
...Strange, what am I thinking?
Master Yuhu suddenly came to her senses. Her clear eyes fixed sharply upon the man before her.
"When a Laborer Disciple sees me, he shows neither nervousness nor surprise, as though everything has long been within your expectations."
Xiao Bai jumped in fright, thinking he had been exposed.
But he quickly understood that this was the obvious effect of the Targeted Charm Modifier!
Elder Yuhu had already begun conquering herself...
Without offering an explanation, Xiao Bai merely asked casually:
"Elder, our statuses are clearly ordered by rank. Are you not afraid of criticism within the sect?"
One had to know that though Master Yuhu had drawn countless admirers with her beauty and bearing, she had always kept people a thousand miles away. She was not a casual woman.
The power of the Charm Modifier was plain to see!
Beneath the peach wood where fine snow drifted down, Master Yuhu sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her willow-leaf brows relaxed faintly as she said calmly:
"Whether under Cambrian Kingdom law or the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws, only relatives and masters and disciples are forbidden from becoming Dao companions. There has never been any rule stating that an elder cannot become Dao companions with a laborer. As for why I wish to become Dao companions with you, it is because my cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and your Balanced Five Elements Physique will be of some help to me."
Xiao Bai was slightly stunned. He had never expected to hear a fairy say to him one day:
Demon man, I want you to help me cultivate!
Still, it was the first time he had heard that his Balanced Five Elements Physique was actually Heavenly Waste Talent.
Perhaps this was related to him being a physical-body transmigrator who had grown up on Earth, where the Spiritual Qi Concentration was zero.
Fortunately, with the Modifier around, it was not a major problem.
"This disciple's cultivation is shallow and his body weak. I fear I may not be able to withstand it, and would only tarnish Elder's purity."
Xiao Bai played hard to get.
Besides, having possessed seven top-tier fairy Dao companions in the game, his body truly could not withstand it.
Master Yuhu merely said:
"It is of no concern. I am skilled in herbal medicine and healing arts. I naturally will not drain the pond to catch the fish, and it will also benefit your cultivation."
Xiao Bai pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and respectfully said:
"This disciple will obey all of Elder's instructions."
His questions were finished. The elder still had questions.
"The situation in the Monster Beast Mountain Range has been unsettled in recent years. Demons may inevitably infiltrate the sect, seeking to overthrow Snow Flame Sect."
"You have been in the sect for three years, yet your cultivation has not advanced. Rather than feeling ashamed, you remain calm and composed, even carrying something of an Immortal Aura. It is difficult not to become suspicious."
"...If you wish to remain on Hundred Herbs Peak, you must answer one question for me."
This was a political vetting question, and also a fatal question!
After all, in the past century, the Demon Race and Devil Gates had launched dozens of invasions, large and small, against Snow Flame Mountain. Had the Dao Alliance not provided full support, Snow Flame Mountain might have been wiped out long ago.
Entry vetting required one to examine one's heart, and most of the questions involved demons.
Xiao Bai was not worried in the slightest. He was merely a transmigrator.
Master Yuhu closed her eyes and formed hand seals. Pointing through the air, she pressed a finger against Xiao Bai's brow and spoke softly:
"If one day, you capture a powerful Demoness, what should you do?"
Snow petals drifted like light floss, silent and soundless, yet they seemed to contain the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Xiao Bai had no reservations. Staring earnestly at the elder before him, who looked like a young girl, he felt that he had already won her over and deliberately flirted:
"If the Demoness possessed Elder's beauty, it would be better to capture her and make her my wife."
Put plainly: Demoness, I want you to help me cultivate!
After all, there were female elders who saw that a Laborer Disciple was handsome and forcibly took him as a companion. Why could he not marry a Fox Demon wife?
In an instant!
Her clear brows drew together faintly, snow settled on her long lashes, and every flower bud on the tree blossomed amid the snow fluff.
Within her pale, indifferent face, two icy eyes like peaches and snow slowly opened.
Her still-water visage instantly shimmered with rippling light, and a faint smile of pride and relief curved her lips.
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded, unable to react in time.
Her loose green cloak slipped down of its own accord, revealing shoulders as straight as a ruler and as smooth as snow...
Those old shoulders were so smooth!
Beauty lay in the bones, not the skin. Xiao Bai kept his eyes straight ahead, but his mind was no longer functioning properly.
Was this pace of getting to first base a little too fast?
But thinking it over carefully, they had received their marriage certificate. Tonight was their Freezing Room wedding night...
It was settled!
At the same time.
The spring water gurgled forth, slowly spilling over the pool's edge and swallowing the falling snow and blossoming peach wood.
It swallowed the fairy's smooth shoulders.
It also swallowed Xiao Bai's sight and hearing.
Before he could react, Xiao Bai's vision went black, and the world around him became as silent as the void.
Only faint, exceedingly subtle sensations came from some unknowable place...
She knew how to play.
Xiao Bai finally relaxed.
After five years of transmigration and three years in the sect, after painstakingly searching for a wealthy fairy, he had finally taken a bite of soft rice—rich, fair, fragrant, and tender.
Like an unhappy man slumped over a keyboard in an Illusionary Dream, it felt somewhat unreal.
Suddenly—
A cold, vast mechanical voice crashed into his sea of consciousness like a thunderbolt!
Ding—The Cultivation World's Number One Pretty Boy Targeted Charm Modifier (for personal use) has successfully infused with spirit. Host Xiao Bai possesses the highest administrator privileges for this Modifier and may log into the main interface at any time to view and manage it.
Peach petals drifted, and watery light shimmered.
Xiao Bai felt nothing at all. His heart was like the warming sun, his body like a coiled dragon. Dazed, he seemed to be floating in a misty immortal realm. How could he care about such trivial mortal matters?
Until, at a certain moment, the system once again struck against his soul wandering among the clouds.
Warning to host: This Modifier has suffered code corruption due to a planar storm, causing your current charm to affect only powerful female villains. Please be sure to pay attention to your preset stance!
What?
Xiao Bai's eyes snapped open!
A bamboo grove surrounded him.
Clear water and peach petals intertwined, weaving nine hazy, billowing, swaying...
Snow-white fox tails.
