Checking in with Tang Ya, the Spirit Hall Inheritance

"Sigh."

"Was Miss Tang Ya ever going to show up?"

Qian Ran was twelve years old, with handsome looks, flawless features, and hair as black as ink. At the moment, he was eating a grilled fish he had just prepared.

The golden grilled fish was sprinkled with all kinds of seasonings, giving off a rich, extremely tempting aroma.

Qian Ran had only recently transmigrated.

His cheat was called the Goddess System. He could earn rewards by checking in with goddesses who met the system's requirements. If he could win a goddess over, he would receive an additional check-in reward.

Qian Ran was very pleased with this system. A mature system ought to learn to let its host level up while lying around.

What was the point of transmigrating if he did not flirt with girls?

Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya, Ma Xiaotao, Meng Hongchen, Ju Zi, Xiao Xiao, Tang Wutong, Qiu'er... Slurp, slurp. There was certainly no shortage of beauties in the Peerless Tang Sect era, even more than in Douluo I. Most importantly, in this timeline, he could also win over some of the girls from Douluo I.

Of course, Qian Ran was not simply lustful, nor could he possibly be interested in so many young ladies. He merely wanted to complete his missions and become stronger.

Qian Ran was full of anticipation.

The three essentials of transmigrating into Douluo: show off, flirt with girls, and screw over Tang San.

Although he could not do anything to Tang San in the short term, he could go to Shrek Academy and snatch Tang Wutong first. Tang Wutong was already a peerless beauty, but what Qian Ran liked most was her hidden identity.

That identity would give Qian Ran quite a thrill.

Tang San was delivering his daughter from a thousand miles away. It would be inexcusable not to take her.

Of course, the person he was preparing to snatch right now was none other than Tang Ya.

Although Tang Ya was not the most beautiful woman in Peerless Tang Sect, she was the Tang Sect's sect master and later became the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Maiden. Her status was exalted.

Now that he had transmigrated, he would not just screw over Tang San, but the Tang Sect and Huo Yuhao as well.

He would steal every one of Huo Yuhao's fortuitous opportunities, too.

Although Huo Yuhao was pitiful, he was a hopeless simp, the ultimate bootlicker of Tang San's family.

Tang San was, at most, a sinister villain. Huo Yuhao could not even count as a normal man. When Qian Ran had read the novel, he had never finished the later parts of Peerless Tang Sect. Someone as upright as him would probably have his blood pressure shoot through the roof watching Huo Yuhao's brainless actions.

The most disgusting thing about Huo Yuhao was that he kept insisting he was devoted to one woman while making eyes at other women and carrying on ambiguous relationships with them.

His so-called devotion meant touching Wang Qiu'er's breasts while saying, "Qiu'er, I don't mean anything by this," and flirting with her in the Star Dou Great Forest by eating the leftover flatbread smeared with her saliva. After getting Qiu'er killed, he felt no shame whatsoever and turned right around to flirt with Tang Wutong.

He huddled together with Ju Zi for warmth in the Northern Lands. He also kissed her several times without showing any clear intention of refusing. In the end, he even pulled the beastly stunt of threatening Ju Zi with his own biological child. Qian Ran had read so many fantasy novels, yet this was the first time he had ever seen such a brain-dead move.

He carried on ambiguous relationships with both Qiu'er and Ju Zi, put them through hell, and still thought he was the one who had suffered a huge loss.

His cheating in competitions was even more pathetic. When others cheated, they undermined fairness; when he cheated, he was defending Shrek's glory. Did he have a brain? So Shrek could apply for secret outside assistance to win a championship? Then could the Sun Moon Royal Star Academy bring Level 9 Soul Tools into the competition, too?

Tang San was only a hypocrite occasionally, while Huo Yuhao carried his double standards through to the bitter end. He could even apply double standards to cheating in competitions. Did he have any sportsmanship at all? How was that any different from doping to cheat at the Olympics?

Huo Yuhao topped Douluo's ranking of beasts, surpassing even Tang San!

At least Tang San, disgusting as he was, did not stoop to this sort of crap.

No wonder Tang San valued Huo Yuhao. Someone that disgusting really would appeal to Tang San.

"Once I've finished the Tang Ya check-in mission, I'll see whether I can snatch the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux first."

"As for what happens to Huo Yuhao without those opportunities, what the hell does that have to do with me?"

Huo Yuhao should just obediently remain a good-for-nothing.

"That smells amazing!"

Just then, a surprised, delighted cry rang out, clear and melodious.

Qian Ran looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people approaching along the stream. Leading the way was a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen, her long black hair tied in a ponytail down her back. A pale blue, close-fitting outfit outlined her budding figure, brimming with youthful vitality.

She had large, lively phoenix eyes, a straight, pert nose, and an almost perfectly oval face. Surprise and delight colored her lovely features as she stared straight at the grilled fish in Qian Ran's hand.

Behind her was a refined young man with a tall, slender, upright figure, who was also watching Qian Ran with interest.

[Ding! A goddess who meets the check-in requirements has been detected within fifty meters of the host!]

[System activation successful. The host may check in with the goddess Tang Ya. When the distance between the host and the goddess is within one meter, the system will check in automatically!]

There it was! There it was!

Qian Ran looked at Tang Ya and smiled.

Even though she was not the female lead, she was still this beautiful.

Tang Ya wore a close-fitting martial arts outfit that outlined her shapely figure. Those perfect curves were enough to make countless girls pale in comparison.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her long, lovely legs looked slender and rounded beneath her tight trousers. As she jogged, her movements radiated the boundless youthful beauty of a lovely girl.

Tang Ya hurried up to Qian Ran, taking the steps two at a time.

Those long, slender legs, that round, pert bottom, those beautiful curves-and a faint fragrance drifted from her body.

Was this the benefit of being a transmigrator?

How could girls in games and comics possibly look as good as a young lady of this caliber? And she wasn't just pretty to look at, but fun to play with, too.

"Little brother, are you selling your grilled fish? It smells so good!"

Tang Ya gazed straight at Qian Ran with her beautiful eyes and froze for a moment. Boys as handsome and distinguished as Qian Ran were rare. In looks, Qian Ran was even a little better than Bei Bei. His black-gemstone eyes were especially captivating.

Only after looking at him for quite a while did Tang Ya turn her gaze away in embarrassment. The grilled fish in Qian Ran's hand made her mouth water. Out in this wilderness, she could only eat simple dry rations, and grilled food that smelled this good was no small temptation to a foodie.

"No charge. Help yourself." Qian Ran smiled.

She smelled so good!

Tang Ya really was too beautiful. Her stunning face and the curves outlined by the tight white outfit wrapped around her lovely body made Qian Ran steal several more looks.

As the girl's delicate fragrance drifted over, Qian Ran felt that the grilled fish in his hand had lost all its appeal. How could grilled fish smell as good as Tang Ya?

If I could win Tang Ya over, wouldn't life be bliss from then on?

And who knew Tang Ya had legs I could play with for a whole year!

The original novel had never mentioned that Tang Ya's legs were this beautiful, but pretty girls with slightly taller figures would never have ugly legs.

Tight white trousers hugged Tang Ya's long, beautiful legs. Following them upward, the pert curve like a crescent moon and the waist small enough to encircle with his hands were enough to make any normal man stare.

She truly was beautiful, and the enticing natural fragrance she carried made Qian Ran take a deep breath despite himself. If Tang Ya alone was already this beautiful, how beautiful would Wang Dong'er, Qiu'er, and the others be? If he could win them over, wouldn't he be able to live a blissful life every day?

Qian Ran took a couple of looks before turning his gaze away. He did not want Tang Ya to mistake him for a filthy old lecher.

Girls on Earth simply could not compare with those in a fantasy world.

"Thank you!" Tang Ya reached out to take the grilled fish from Qian Ran, passed one to Bei Bei, then sat down beside them and began eating without the slightest concern for appearances.

"Ding! The host has successfully checked in with the goddess Tang Ya."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on receiving the beginner gift pack reward: Spirit Hall Inheritance."

"Ding! The host has obtained the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and level twenty innate Soul Power!"

"Ding! The host has obtained Spirit Hall's divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword!"

Soul Power instantly flooded Qian Ran's entire body. He felt warm all over, as though every part of him brimmed with inexhaustible strength.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul! Innate full Soul Power! The Angel Holy Sword!

He had actually obtained Spirit Hall's inheritance, and all these things seemed connected to Qian Renxue.

But Qian Renxue had lived ten thousand years ago. The world remained, yet its people had changed; he had never expected to obtain her talents. Would he repeat her mistakes?

Impossible. He was not a Love-Brain.

Throughout the Douluo Continent, Love-Brains were all losers. Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena were all Love-Brains. This was a world where only players thrived... Just look at Tang San. Although he did not openly build a harem, he sowed affection everywhere, a player in hiding. That was why Tang San had done so well.

So it was not that Qian Ran wanted to be a player. It was simply that history's lessons told them this was the only way to survive in this "cruel" world.

This was a curse. In Douluo, building a harem was the politically correct thing to do.
