Chapter 1: First Time
Tian Yuan was still sleeping soundly in his modest room on Gu He Planet, the morning sunlight barely filtering through the thin curtains. His body was sprawled across the bed, tangled in the sheets, wearing the modern, casual attire he favored—a simple white T-shirt and black pants. The alarm on his nightstand began to blare obnoxiously, shattering the stillness of the early morning.
"Stop…" he murmured, lazily reaching out to shut it off. The moment he did, the room fell back into quiet. He let out a long yawn and stretched, feeling the familiar stiffness of sleep leaving his body. It was another ordinary day, and yet, like every other day, there was no expectation, no urgency.
Breakfast was uneventful. Tian Yuan ate quickly, barely tasting the food, his mind wandering as he stared out of the window at the streets of his city. Gu He Planet, and even more so the Eastern Xuan Region of the Jindian Continent, was calm, low-level, and devoid of excitement. Most people went about their mundane lives, completely unaware of the forces that existed far beyond their perception.
After finishing his meal, Tian Yuan stepped outside, the cool air brushing against his face. The streets were quiet, though not empty. A few early risers moved about their business, merchants setting up their stalls, children running along the alleys. Tian Yuan's gaze fell on his shoes.
"My white shoes… look polished now," he muttered, bending slightly to inspect them.
A voice, soft and familiar, came from behind him.
"Hey, Tian Yuan."
He turned, immediately recognizing the figure. Ling Xu Ming, his girlfriend of three years, stood there, radiant as always. Her presence seemed to draw the light around her, though perhaps it was just the natural beauty that she carried effortlessly.
"Ling'er," Tian Yuan greeted, a smile forming on his face. Her name always carried a warmth that made him feel at ease.
Ling Xu Ming approached him, her steps confident and graceful, yet her eyes held a teasing glint. "I want to give you something."
"What is it?" Tian Yuan asked, curiosity piqued.
Without another word, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his. It was a soft, lingering kiss, yet Tian Yuan's mind went wild with thoughts. First kiss in my life… he thought, completely overwhelmed by the sensation.
They had been together for three years, and despite the comfort of their relationship, Tian Yuan couldn't deny that he was a big pervert, always sneaking glances when she bathed, always thinking about things that he probably shouldn't. His mind raced even as he returned the kiss.
"Was that good?" Ling Xu Ming asked softly, breaking the momentary tension.
"Yes… yes, that was good," Tian Yuan replied honestly.
"Do you want more?" she asked, a playful smirk forming.
Tian Yuan felt his heart pound. "Yes."
She pressed her lips against his again, longer this time, and then pulled back slightly, her expression shifting to curiosity.
"I want to ask you something," she said.
"What?" he asked, though his attention was already divided.
"What is the best thing I have?"
Tian Yuan's eyes involuntarily flicked toward her chest and then to her hips, before finally settling on her face. He could feel the heat rising in his ears.
"Where are you looking?" she asked, eyebrow slightly arched.
"You're very beautiful," Tian Yuan replied quickly, trying to cover his embarrassment.
Ling Xu Ming tilted her head, amused. "What do you like more—my face, my chest, or my…?"
Tian Yuan groaned inwardly. She says everything like it's nothing… he thought. He hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "We can talk about this later, after we're married. Because… I don't know everything about you yet."
Ling Xu Ming chuckled knowingly. "I know you want to do it with me."
"After marriage," Tian Yuan replied firmly, even though a small part of him was already daydreaming.
Hours passed. Tian Yuan eventually found himself lying back on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, replaying the morning in his mind. She is very beautiful… he thought. His emotions were tangled with curiosity, desire, and a strange sense of anticipation.
Suddenly, the air shifted. A figure appeared before him, unlike anything he had ever seen. She was breathtaking, more beautiful than anyone he had ever laid eyes on. Her body seemed sculpted to perfection, her long black hair flowing like a river of silk. White clothes adorned her, but they did nothing to diminish the aura of overwhelming power and beauty she radiated.
A halo glimmered behind her back, another hovered above her head, and a large, intricate ring rested on her right foot. A floating rope-like artifact, often seen in cultivation legends, twisted and floated around her.
Narrator: In short, she is very, very beautiful…
Before Tian Yuan could even speak, she leaned forward and kissed him. Tian Yuan's mind went blank. We can't even find one girl, and now I'm getting kissed by two… and this is just the beginning…
The mysterious woman began removing his clothes. Hours later, Tian Yuan sat clothed again, though his mind was still reeling. The woman, now seated beside him, spoke.
"My name is Cailin," she said calmly.
Narrator: Her character is reminiscent of Queen Medusa in BTTH… She definitely has the bloodline powers of a python.
"Was that… good?" she asked softly, though there was a subtle authority in her tone.
Tian Yuan's thoughts went haywire. Why does every beautiful woman ask me that? And why is my nose bleeding?
"Because I am beautiful," Cailin replied matter-of-factly.
Tian Yuan blinked. What is she, reading my mind?
"Yes," she said, reading his expression. "There is nothing you can hide from me. Now… who are you?"
Cailin's presence was overwhelming. Her cultivation status? Phase 4, Peak.
"I am the Goddess of the Scarlet King Race," she said. "I possess the bloodlines of countless beasts and multiple divine lineages."
Tian Yuan swallowed hard. Why did you take my virginity? he finally asked.
Cailin's eyes softened slightly. "First, stop your nose from bleeding."
He grabbed a cloth and dabbed at the blood, his thoughts spinning. I should not be looking at her…
"Take this," she said, holding out a pearl that shimmered with shifting colors. "Heavenly Celestial Origin Pearl. That's the short name."
Before Tian Yuan could react, she transformed into a swirl of multicolored light and entered the pearl. He stared, dumbfounded. Where did she go…?
Hours passed, mundane moments passing in stark contrast to the lingering image of Cailin and the memory of Ling Xu Ming. Tian Yuan tried playing games to distract himself, yet every thought of them made his nose bleed anew. Screens, tissues, and frustration accumulated around him.
Eventually, he decided he needed to clear his mind. He climbed a mountain near the city, thinking he could calm himself. But even as he looked down upon his city from above, images of Ling Xu Ming and Cailin filled his mind, and his nose began bleeding again.
As he climbed higher, his balance faltered. He slipped, plunging downward toward jagged rocks. Before he hit the ground, a crimson energy caught him mid-air. He looked up—Cailin hovered before him, a vision of beauty and divine authority.
But… she wasn't wearing anything beneath her robe. His entire body tingled, and once again, blood flowed from his nose. He could no longer remain conscious and passed out.
When he awoke, she was there, now wearing a veil that partially obscured her features. Tian Yuan instinctively covered his eyes with his hands. I want to see her… but nose bleed…
A blinding white light suddenly appeared before him.
"Tian Yuan… system?" he whispered, uncertain whether he was dreaming or awakening to something far beyond normal reality.
