"What did you do?"
Feixiao's eyes widened.
She felt her whole body burning up, scorching hot. Her cheeks flushed red, and the breath from her mouth and nose was steaming hot. Her cyan eyes seemed on the verge of dripping with water.
If she looked in a mirror now, she would see that her fierce, sharp gaze had unknowingly turned soft and alluring, like hooks that could snag a person's soul.
When she caught Seth's scent, a strong longing arose, accompanied by her body temperature rising higher and higher.
Seeing that Feixiao was already affected, Seth 'kindly' revealed the answer.
"This on your body is a witchcraft blessing invented during the Duran era. Back then, to quickly restore the Borisin population, the war capital Dulan ordered the priests to develop this witchcraft mark."
"Under the influence of Abundance Power, a female branded with the mark will automatically prepare her body for nurturing life whenever she's near the mark's owner."
In simple terms, this mark was the Abundance version of a Succubus tattoo.
'Abundance' and 'Fertility' each tore apart parts of 'Immortality's' authority, so naturally, there was overlap. While 'Abundance' primarily enhanced vitality, with a bit of derivation, enhancing certain 'fertility' aspects was only natural.
Having finally prepared this sumptuous feast, one must savor it patiently, carefully, and slowly, so Seth was in no hurry.
He reached out and gently brushed aside the hair at Feixiao's temple, his fingers sliding down her cheek to her shoulder.
Seth leaned in close to her ear again, pretending to be kind.
"Oh, and here's some good news. Since this mark isn't poison or a curse but a blessing that's actually good for the body, ordinary drugs and any healing methods related to Abundance Power are ineffective.
How about that? Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?"
This ancient voodoo technique passed down for thousands of years was truly powerful.
At this point, Feixiao could barely hear what Seth was saying.
In her perception, Seth's fingers were like a torch. Wherever they touched her skin, a strange burning heat ignited on her skin and quickly spread throughout her body.
Seth hadn't even teased any of her sensitive areas, yet Feixiao was already sweating profusely, her eyes dazed.
Seth lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely.
Feixiao, whose mind was no longer clear, reacted immediately to her owner's scent and began clumsily responding.
"I told you! You'll never escape my grasp in this lifetime!"
Seth's voice echoed through the room...
[Simulation ended, evaluation settling...]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a B-grade evaluation once!]
Seth felt that his simulation this time was quite well done, but since he started with a golden entry borrowed from the system, it effectively lowered the difficulty, so the reward was reduced by one grade.
From this perspective, his simulation should count as an A-grade evaluation, which would be highly valuable for reference in future simulations.
Seth was pondering whether to save this precious B-grade evaluation.
Suddenly, the system gave him a big surprise.
[Congratulations, you have created a new entry: Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)]
[Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold): When subjected to a fatal attack that does not reach the golden body's endurance limit, you will enter a suspended animation state, and the golden body will begin to evolve. Upon completion of evolution, you can fully resist the previous fatal damage. —Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.]
[Since you created a gold or higher entry, this reward is upgraded!]
[Reward upgraded to: You can obtain the newly created entry for free. Additionally, the two entries chosen at the start, excluding the golden welfare, can be retained for free.]
Bad news: Seth's freshly obtained B-grade evaluation was forcibly taken by the system before he could even warm it up.
Good news: The system gave him an all-around plus!
A B-grade evaluation that could only be exchanged or upgraded to a purple entry, swapped for 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)'—Seth had struck gold.
The system's explanation of 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)' was a bit convoluted.
Here's a simple example.
If Seth with the golden body is hit by a fatal bullet attack, and the golden body's endurance limit is cannon-level attacks, the bullet's power is clearly below that of a cannon.
The golden body activates, Seth enters suspended animation, conditions are met, and the golden body evolves. Once evolution is complete, Seth becomes fully immune to bullet attacks.
If the attack is swapped for a nuclear bomb, that completely exceeds the golden body's limit and would reduce Seth to ashes.
Of course, this is just an example. Seth believed that one day he could, like in the simulation, withstand a Star God's attack head-on without dying.
In any case, with 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)', his survival ability in both simulations and reality had greatly improved.
Seth hadn't forgotten that the script's female protagonist could retain memories from the simulation.
This meant that after the yandere swordswoman Jingliu, he had offended another big shot: the 'Great Victory General' Feixiao.
He had been as arrogant as he wanted while toying with Feixiao in the simulation, and now he was just as afraid of her retaliation.
…
"Bastard! This old lady will slaughter you!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.
Bang!
A massive storm suddenly erupted in Feixiao's grand tent, nearly blowing the entire tent away.
"General! Are you alright!"
Outside the tent, a figure in red-and-white scholar's robes, holding a goose-feather fan, dressed like a Shaoxing advisor—a fox person—asked from the entrance.
Feixiao took a deep breath, trying to steady her breathing so as not to let Jiaoqiu outside notice anything amiss.
"Jiaoqiu, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare and accidentally lashed out."
"A nightmare?"
Jiaoqiu seemed to sense something was off but didn't point it out on the spot.
"Then... General, rest well. I won't disturb you."
With that, Jiaoqiu turned and left.
After Jiaoqiu's footsteps faded away, Feixiao clenched her fist tightly and smashed it into the ground.
"SE... TH!!"
Feixiao gritted her teeth, enunciating each syllable of Seth's name.
But this name seemed like some kind of curse.
Feixiao suddenly felt a faint, familiar burning sensation in her abdomen and subconsciously touched it with her hand.
But she quickly realized what was happening, her face changing dramatically as she looked down.
Seeing that her smooth, flat abdomen had nothing on it, Feixiao finally let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps the previous nightmare had been too realistic, lingering in her mind and fueling the rage in her heart.
Thus, the Borisin people suffered greatly.
"Assemble! Full army assault! Slaughter these wolf cubs!"
With Feixiao's command, the Yaoqing army once again launched a massacre against the remaining Borisin people.
