3: Chapter 3 Eight Desolate Lustful Demon System

Why not take this opportunity...

Mo Zixing's head began to automatically play out some heart-pounding, blush-inducing scenarios.

He was just about to say something and tried to prop himself up against the stone wall.

But as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through his chest, making him gasp and instantly slump back down.

No, no, it hurts too much.

Having taken such a sword strike, although Jiang Yuwei had fed him medicine and bandaged him, he wasn't quite at death's door yet.

But right now, he was so sore he couldn't muster any strength, so what talk was there of making a move?

At that moment, the System's voice suddenly rang in his mind:

[Given that the host has successfully used a System function for the first time, there is a welcome gift available for collection]

There's even stuff to get?

Mo Zixing's eyes lit up.

Next time there's something like this, say so earlier.

[Would the host like to collect the welcome gift immediately?]

"Hurry up and serve it, I can't wait!"

[Welcome gift distributed successfully]

[Congratulations on obtaining one Luck Trait draw chance]

[A random Luck Trait can be drawn and permanently bestowed upon the host]

[Guaranteed Purple quality, with a maximum potential for a Red trait]

Hearing this, Mo Zixing instantly felt energized.

Add a trait to myself?

He had been so focused on Jiang Yuwei's panel earlier that he hadn't had time to look at his own. He quickly thought to himself:

"Open my personal panel!"

A translucent blue panel instantly popped up:

[Name: Mo Zixing]

[Gender: Male]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3]

[Personality: None]

[Luck: None]

Looking at this blank space, Mo Zixing felt numb.

It turned out that when he transmigrated, he was a complete blank slate, without even an ordinary White or Green quality Luck Trait.

No wonder he was still at Qi Refining Level 3 after laying low for three years.

It wasn't often the System gave a chance for a free trait, so he couldn't let it go to waste.

His gaze instantly locked onto the flashing golden dice icon at the bottom of the panel.

"System, click draw."

The moment his intention fell, the die began to spin rapidly.

Golden, purple, and red lights flashed alternately, making his eyes dizzy.

After a few breaths, the die gradually stopped.

Three traits of varying qualities popped up side by side:

[1. Great Dragon Strength (Gold): You have an extraordinary skeletal structure, possessing a physique and special size far beyond ordinary people. You are a natural at Dual Cultivation, and the efficiency of cultivation growth during Dual Cultivation is significantly increased]

[2. Withered Wood Meets Spring (Purple): Your body is close to nature and can continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Your physical fitness and recovery speed are greatly improved; you won't feel tired even after seven times in one night]

[3. Divine Beast Bloodline (Red): Your Bloodline contains the power of an ancient Divine Beast. You can randomly awaken one type of ancient Divine Beast Bloodline power and obtain the corresponding innate talent ability]

Mo Zixing stared at the three traits, his mind racing.

The first trait, Great Dragon Strength.

It looked tempting and was likely the dream of countless people, but a larger size was just icing on the cake for him.

Besides, he couldn't even move right now; no matter how strong the Dual Cultivation bonus was, it was just a castle in the air.

The second trait, Withered Wood Meets Spring.

It could happen to heal his injuries, but this was the only chance for a free trait with no cost. Taking a guaranteed Purple quality would be a huge loss.

As for the third one, a Red quality trait, Divine Beast Bloodline!

Red quality should be stronger than Gold quality, and it could unlock Divine Beast Bloodline power.

No matter what kind of ability it gave, it should be a sure-win choice.

Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird—any of them would do!

"System, I choose the third one, Divine Beast Bloodline!"

[Trait selection successful]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Luck Trait: Candle Dragon Bloodline]

[Trait has been added to the host's information, currently synchronizing and activating Bloodline power...]

Ah, Torch Dragon?

Mo Zixing was stunned for a moment.

Thinking of the Torch Dragon, the first thing that popped into his head wasn't the prestige of an ancient Divine Beast whose open eyes brought day and closed eyes brought night.

Rather, it was a record he had seen in an ancient text:

The Torch Dragon is lecherous by nature.

Its Origin Divine Abilities are mostly related to the union of Yin and Yang.

?

???

???

Might as well not call it the Trait Observation System; just call it the Eight Desolations Lust Demon System instead.

While he was staring blankly, his personal panel had already refreshed.

In the previously empty Luck Trait column, a trait glowing with red light had appeared:

[Candle Dragon Bloodline (Red): Possess the Bloodline power of the ancient Divine Beast Torch Dragon. Physical fitness and recovery speed are greatly improved; automatically master Dual Cultivation techniques, and Dual Cultivation efficiency is greatly increased]

Mo Zixing looked at the description of the Candle Dragon Bloodline trait and fell silent.

Holy crap.

So you, System, just packaged the effects of the first two traits and stuffed them into the Candle Dragon Bloodline, didn't you?

After all that, it's just this one thing.

The first two traits were just trial versions, and only by picking the Red one could I get the full version, right?

Damn System, even playing marketing tricks.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he could clearly feel a scorching warm current spreading from his Dantian, flowing through his Meridians and across his entire body.

The wound on his chest was healing and scabbing over, and the original tearing pain gradually vanished without a trace.

It really works.

A mere fatal wound is nothing more than this.

It was just that the warm current seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, carrying an uncontrollable primal urge that surged through his blood to his whole body.

His entire body's blood seemed to be boiling, and his gaze involuntarily fell upon Jiang Yuwei, who was kneeling before him.

While he was busy suppressing the restlessness in his Bloodline, in Jiang Yuwei's eyes, it was a completely different scene.

She had finished speaking for a long time but hadn't received any response from Mo Zixing.

She saw him leaning against the stone wall, his eyes vacant, not moving an inch for a long time.

Jiang Yuwei's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

A final radiance before death.

The moment of clarity in Senior Brother's eyes earlier must have been a final radiance!

Now... now he really isn't going to make it!

An overwhelming sense of guilt instantly drowned Jiang Yuwei, and tears fell pitter-patter.

It was all her fault!

If she hadn't stabbed Senior Brother Mo with a sword, how could he have ended up like this?

She wanted to rush forward and hug Mo Zixing, but she was afraid of hurting his newly healed wound and making his passing more painful.

She could only reach out with a trembling hand, burying her face against his arm as she shed little pearls of tears.

I'm sorry, Senior Brother Mo.

Have a safe journey.

But the moment her fingertips touched his skin, she froze.

That's not right.

Senior Brother Mo's pulse was strong and powerful, not at all like someone on the verge of death.

Jiang Yuwei lifted her tear-stained face and stared blankly at Mo Zixing.

Besides, shouldn't a person's body be ice-cold when they're dying?

How is Senior Brother Mo...

While she was wondering, Mo Zixing, who had been leaning against the stone wall at his last gasp, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes held a heat she had never seen before. Before Jiang Yuwei could react, a scorching and irresistible force came over her.

Mo Zixing lunged upward, pinning her to the cold ground with a backhand, his entire body covering her, locking her firmly in his embrace.
