"No!"

"Don't!!"

The Magic Dragon's expression was filled with fear as the terrifying thunder crashed down above.

With a fierce look, he instantly tossed the beautiful maiden into the air, trying to dodge to the side himself.

But it was too late.

The thunder, like a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, descended with an overwhelming divine might, unstoppable and unavoidable.

"Boom—"

"Why is this happening!!" The maiden struggled in despair, turning to ashes under the golden thunder, while the Magic Dragon let out an unwilling, piercing roar before disintegrating.

Su Jiuer's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before her.

"This..."

As the dazzling golden light faded, only a deep pit remained on the ground.

The power of the thunder left Su Jiuer with lingering fear, as Heavenly Tribulations were the most terrifying for a soul beast like her. She cautiously approached the pit, her pupils contracting.

Inside the pit, two crystalline miniature bones floated: a purple-black skull and a white jade leg bone.

There were also two mystical halos, one blood-red and the other orange-red.

These were the special treasures formed after the deaths of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon and the maiden, enough to drive human experts into a frenzy of slaughter to obtain them. Su Jiuer was not surprised by this.

What truly made her cover her red lips and tremble was the sight of a baby lying at the bottom of the pit, looking up at her with wide eyes.

Su Jiuer's expression gradually became serious. After a long silence, she looked up at the sky and murmured to herself.

"Is this... destiny?"

She picked up the baby and glanced down.

"A baby boy... well then."

Su Jiuer's cold face suddenly bloomed with a smile, her jade finger gently touching the baby's forehead, her voice sweet and charming.

"Little one, from now on, you will be my husband, Su Jiuer's."

"Fallen from the heavens into the mortal world, your name shall be Luo Fancheng. I wonder if you will like it."

"Oh dear, I'm so silly. How could a baby understand what I'm saying?" Su Jiuer shook her head, her cute beast ears twitching, her long hair flowing.

Luo Fancheng, who was depressed about turning into a baby, was stunned by the breathtaking beauty so close to him.

In his life, he had seen countless women, but never such a cold yet alluring fairy.

His heart seemed to skip a beat.

Su Jiuer... is this my Demon Emperor wife?

Human, soul beast...

It seems not impossible.

[Oh my, my dear host, you didn't say this before.]

Su Jiuer extended her delicate hand, collecting the two special halos into two orbs, and also storing away the two crystalline miniature bones.

She snorted coldly, "Those two beasts deserved to die, but these are supreme treasures of the mortal world, so I'll keep them for my husband."

"Rest assured, husband."

"I will raise you into adulthood."

Before Luo Fancheng could react, he was hugged tightly, forcibly given a face wash, the imposing sight before him shocking.

A somewhat bewildered voice followed in his ear.

"I wonder what kind of person my husband will grow into. Only a peerless strongman would not disgrace me, Su Jiuer."

This wasn't Su Jiuer being arrogant, but the fact that on the entire Hunwu Continent, there were too many peak experts, both human and soul beast, who admired and pursued her, yet none caught her eye.

Just as Luo Fancheng was about to suffocate, he was finally released.

"Enough." Su Jiuer let out a long breath, looking at Luo Fancheng seriously, "The moment you appeared, all my humiliation and resentment disappeared. I will never forget that feeling."

"In the future, whether you are tall or short, fat or thin, rich or poor, even if you are just an ordinary person, I, Su Jiuer, will be your wife and will follow you."

"I only hope you grow up happy and safe, and that's enough."

Hearing this, Luo Fancheng sighed inwardly.

She's a good woman.

In his past life, he was a master of female psychology; otherwise, why would so many beauties come to mourn him?

Of course, he could see that in a short time, Su Jiuer went through a journey from hesitation and confusion to finally firming her belief.

Logically, Su Jiuer could kill him now, and no one would know, but she didn't.

Such a powerful, peerlessly beautiful Demon Emperor, with ambitions as high as the sky, naturally liked peerless heroes, yet she chose him.

Luo Fancheng secretly made a promise in his heart.

Though I am a scoundrel, yet...

You do not betray me.

I shall not betray you.

Kings and nobles, are they born so?

Hunwu Continent—here I come, Luo Fancheng!

His excitement surged.

He peed.

Su Jiuer suddenly felt a chill on her chest, her blue eyes first puzzled, then she saw the wet stain and exclaimed.

"Oh my, how can you pee anywhere!"

"Slap!"

Su Jiuer, in anger, gave her little husband a pat on the bottom.

"So embarrassing." Luo Fancheng's little soul rolled around in embarrassment.

...

Time flew by, sixteen years later.

Azure Dragon Empire, Dachuan Province, Yun Village.

"Aunt Su, I'm back."

A tall and handsome young man, dressed simply, carried a brown wild boar back to the village courtyard.

In the yard, a voluptuous and alluring beauty was bending over a wooden table, setting dishes—four dishes and a soup, all nutritious.

Her pert hips, slender waist, and seductive charm.

Hearing the voice, the beauty's cold face broke into a bright smile, "Fancheng, go wash up quickly. Today's a new dish, see if it suits your taste."

Luo Fancheng's mouth twitched, knowing he was about to test poison again.

A dignified empress, who used to cook for no one, and no one was worthy.

Do you know how I've eaten these past sixteen years!!!

...

Sitting at the dining table, looking at the stunning beauty across from him, Luo Fancheng sighed in his heart. Even with her beauty concealed by seventy to eighty percent, she was still so captivating, truly a disaster-level 9-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

"What are you looking at, you brat?" Su Jiuer teased.

"Aunt... you're so beautiful."

Su Jiuer raised her chopsticks and pointed at Luo Fancheng's forehead, her face cold, "Spit, how many times have I told you, call me aunt when others are around, call me wife when we're alone."

"Calling you aunt doesn't sound nice." Luo Fancheng smiled, not at all afraid of her cold face. He knew his Heavenly Fox wife was cold outside but warm inside.

"Remember your identity, you're my child husband." Su Jiuer said fiercely, "Others don't even have the chance to call me that."

"Anyone who dares, I'll beat them to death." Luo Fancheng snorted.

Su Jiuer's red lips curled up, "Dominant little man, then you have to work hard, or you won't be able to protect me in the future. Too many people want to steal your woman."

"I will become a Soul Master, the strongest in this world." Luo Fancheng's voice was calm, but his eyes shone.

Sixteen years ago, Su Jiuer thought it best for the baby to grow up in the human world, so she brought Luo Fancheng to this village, concealing most of her beauty.

But even so, countless young and old men in the village secretly admired Su Jiuer.

As for those who openly admired her?

Their legs had already been broken.

What Su Jiuer didn't expect was that Luo Fancheng matured much earlier than normal humans, and his appearance not only didn't grow crooked but became increasingly tall and handsome, more charming by the day.

Such a child husband was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Stop bragging, eat up, your wife only hopes for your safety and happiness." Su Jiuer placed a piece of meat in his bowl.

While eating, Luo Fancheng was thoughtful. In sixteen years, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the Hunwu Continent, a world where the strong prey on the weak, and strength is revered.

Only those who awaken a powerful Martial Soul can be considered on the path to becoming a strongman.

Martial Souls come in many forms, such as scythes, hammers, lizards, but most Soul Masters awaken Beast Martial Souls, Tool Martial Souls, or Plant Martial Souls. For example, flames and meteors are considered special Martial Souls.

On the Hunwu Continent, one must undergo Body Tempering before awakening a Martial Soul, and at sixteen, when the body matures, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is held.

"Tomorrow, the Temple will come to the village to awaken your Martial Soul. What do you think you'll awaken?" Su Jiuer added more food to his plate.

Luo Fancheng shook his head, "How could I guess that, we'll know tomorrow."

The system hadn't appeared in sixteen years, and it was Su Jiuer who taught him Body Tempering. Now, he was at the peak of Body Tempering.

Single-handedly hunting giant wild boars, something even a beginner Soul Master couldn't do.

Even Su Jiuer marveled at his extraordinary talent, never having heard of anyone reaching such a level of Body Tempering before awakening.

Luo Fancheng wasn't surprised, remembering the system seemed to have said it would reward him with an Immaculate Immortal Body and Twin Strongest Martial Souls.

The Immortal Body was realized, now it was time to see what the Martial Souls were.

He was looking forward to it.

[Ding! As heaven maintains its vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.]

Hiss—

Scared me to death.

The system, silent for sixteen years, suddenly came back to life...

[Host's diligent cultivation has reached the peak of Body Tempering, triggering a hidden special reward: Heaven Rewards Diligence!]

[Please claim your reward!]
