[Watching Ma Ling'er's resolute retreating figure, you smiled.]
[You've been an honest person your whole life, but at this moment, the malice and anger in your heart grow wildly like weeds.]
[You called out to her, as if you had aged decades in an instant, and humbly begged her to have your last farewell dinner with you.]
[Although Ma Ling'er was disgusted, the thought that a meal would bring her complete relief made her sit down as if it were a favor.]
[After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, you've taken effect with the potent drug you slipped into the food and drinks.]
[That was something you specially prepared to help Ma Ling'er hunt down a thousand-year-old soul beast and obtain her third soul ring, but unfortunately, this bewitching powder wasn't used on the thousand-year-old soul beast; instead, it was used on herself.]
[Ma Ling'er fainted.]
[Without the slightest pity, you dragged her into a pre-prepared underground chamber, then ruthlessly destroyed her level 30 soul power, which you had nurtured.]
[If you want to be an ingrate, then you have to pay the price. What you took from me, what you owe me, leave it all behind.]
[You emulated the legendary master of the secret chamber, Qian Xunji, and began your initial goal in this dark and sunless chamber.]
(TL: honestly I usually don't condone this type of action but bitch is a gold digger so it aint all that unexpected or uncalled for)
"Cool!"
"That's exactly how it should be!"
"In real life, I can assess situations and make decisions, but in this simulation, they still want me to suffer?"
"Who do you think you are? Even the Great God King Tang would get a good beating from you, you know that!"
The Su Mu in the hotel was just an observer throughout.
But this decisive action still resonated deeply with him.
Because if this kind of thing happened to him, he would do the same.
Instead of being like Qian Xunji, who only knew about the secret room but didn't understand that crippling people before entering the secret room would ensure there were no worries about the future.
(TL: well tbf he probably didn't intend to kill her or anything just to force he to change her mind… through brutal means)
[One year later.]
[The sound of a baby crying came from the secret room.]
[Congratulations! Your child has been born.]
[Offspring Test: Male. Beast Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix (Mutated). Innate Soul Power: Level 8.]
[Evaluation: A top-tier mutated beast martial soul, possessing top-level fire attributes and flight ability. However, influenced by the mother's emotions and bloodline, the originally non-side-effect-laden, highly corrosive black flame has transformed into an "evil fire" imbued with intense desire. This is a double-edged sword; one thought can lead to enlightenment, another to demonic possession. It all depends on how the user wields it.]
Whoosh!
Su Mu suddenly sat up in bed.
"Holy crap?"
"Evil Phoenix!!!"
"Is that Ma Hongjun???"
Look at what's displayed on the simulation panel.
Su Mu was utterly stunned.
"What a coincidence!"
However, the situation in Qiyu Village and Ma Ling'er's surname are indeed very similar to the background description of Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Grass Chicken.
So, the ungrateful wretch Ma Ling'er, whom he had been searching for for three years, turned out to be Ma Hongjun's biological mother!
Su Mu touched his chin and felt not only no discomfort, but also a sense of refreshment.
After all, this Evil Fire Chicken... oops, I mean, Evil Fire Phoenix, no matter how much netizens tease it.
However, this cannot conceal the fact that it is itself a top-tier beast spirit.
Most importantly, this martial soul also comes with the characteristic of "evil fire"!
Everyone says that evil fire is rotten!
But if evil fire can be given to oneself.
Who the hell would dare say they don't want this perpetual motion machine-like characteristic?
If our Xunji's martial spirit back then had been the Evil Fire Phoenix instead of the Six-Winged Angel...
Who knows, even the love-obsessed Bibi Dong might be completely subdued.
[Ding! Excellent offspring detected, settlement requirements met.]
[1. The host can choose to retain the current save file for settlement. The next time the simulation starts, this offspring can be used as a carrier for a new simulation.]
[2. Alternatively, you can choose not to settle the score and continue the simulation with the original character until death, at which point the score will be settled.]
[3. Alternatively, you can choose to abandon the save file and end the simulation completely.]
[If the first two settlement methods are selected, the host can choose any one of the simulated settlement rewards as a reward.]
[If you choose the third settlement method, you can choose any two rewards from this settlement reward list.]
[Currently available rewards are as follows:]
[1. Level 29 Soul Master Soul Power Cultivation.]
[2. Intermediate Soul Power Meditation Method of Spirit Hall.]
[3. The remaining 1,351 Gold Soul Coins as total assets.]
[4. A one-cubic-meter storage soul guide.]
[5. Excellent offspring's bloodline Beast martial soul, innate level eight soul power - Evil Fire Phoenix.]
Looking at the settlement method and reward options, Su Mu's breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Is there even a need to choose?
The settlement process will definitely involve saving the data.
joke!
That's Ma Hongjun!
After completing the storyline, you will become the chosen one who can undergo two divine trials with the help of the Great God King Tang.
One was a god of fire, a first-level god, on par with the sea god.
One was a second-level god-level beast god, the Phoenix God.
(TL: to this day idk how phoenix is below fire…..)
In the original novel, Ma Hongjun failed to complete the God of Fire's test because he was too incompetent.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to settle for second best and inherit the position of the Phoenix God.
Regardless of how rubbish Ma Hongjun is.
This save file represents a direct path to godhood.
Only someone with a screw loose would abandon this save file.
...
As for reward options, needless to say.
Level 29 Soul Power?
Even dogs wouldn't want that.
Intermediate meditation method?
It's just a bit better than the generic stuff from Notting Academy.
As for your so-called gold soul coins and storage soul tools.
Pure garbage option.
Only the last item.
The Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul with innate level eight soul power is what Su Mu needs most.
Although this martial soul has the side effect of evil fire.
But for Su Mu, this was not a drawback, but rather a reward.
Ma Hongjun is a good-for-nothing with weak willpower, and on top of that, he's ugly and nobody wants him.
With his handsome face and the self-control of an adult, Su Mu could completely transform these side effects into motivation for cultivation.
"Archive and process!"
"I'll reward myself with the fifth option: the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul!"
Su Mu suppressed the pounding in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.
[Rewards being processed...]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained your second martial soul: the Evil Fire Phoenix.]
boom!
The moment Su Mu made his choice, a terrifying surge of heat exploded within his body without warning.
If the previous Qilin Arm was only a regional enhancement, then at this moment, it's as if an active volcano has been stuffed into his dantian.
Scalding hot!
It's burning hot!
Su Mu felt his blood boiling.
He suddenly ripped open his collar, revealing an abnormal flush on the panel.
Even the luxurious air-conditioned room of the Goth Hotel could not suppress the surging heat within him.
"Crryyy——!"
In the dim light, a high-pitched phoenix cry exploded in his mind.
Su Mu raised his right hand, but instead of summoning the Qilin Arm, a cluster of eerie black flames rose from his palm with a "whoosh".
