Chapter 34: Tattoo

Behind Ning Li was her entire tribe, all relying on her to gain favor in front of 'Seth' to improve the tribe's treatment.

Don't be fooled by Ning Li's petite figure; those slender shoulders carried the weight of the whole tribe.

In contrast, Feixiao came from a war slave background. She had been treated as cannon fodder before even reaching adulthood, so she had no sense of belonging to the tribe. Her only focus was breaking free from her shackles and gaining freedom.

So, it was no surprise that they made completely opposite choices when faced with the decision.

Even though she already knew the answer, Feixiao stubbornly stared at Ning Li as if unwilling to give up, waiting for her to say it out loud.

Ning Li steeled her heart and took the initiative to lean into Seth's embrace.

"Feixiao, I am His Majesty's slave girl, for life! I will only obey His Majesty's commands!"

Feixiao finally got the answer she had long known, one that filled her with utter despair.

Her heart shattered into countless pieces, and her bright eyes lost their sparkle.

"Well said! My little fox! I shall reward you handsomely!"

Seth grabbed the back of Ning Li's head and kissed her forcefully.

Seth sucked hard, as if trying to draw out all the air from Ning Li's lungs.

After a long time, their lips parted, and Ning Li gasped heavily as if she had just been suffocating.

A silvery, transparent thread stretched out slowly before finally snapping.

In a pleased mood, Seth immediately made a promise.

"Ning Li, I permit your tribe to be freed from slave status!"

Ning Li was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Without even needing Seth's reminder, she knelt down proactively.

"Whew~!!"

After a while, Seth let out a long breath.

Ning Li slowly stood up, rubbing her knees and then her sore cheeks.

Having finished the appetizer, Seth smiled and pushed out a small cart loaded with various bottles, jars, and a few brushes.

Some jars contained dried corpses of bizarre reptiles, others held unnamed plants, and some were filled with unknown powders.

These items looked like props for some kind of evil ritual.

Seth tinkered on the cart for a while and finally produced a small dish of blood-red, semi-solid gel.

Feixiao, who had already become indifferent to everything, suddenly felt a faint ominous premonition in her mind.

"What are you trying to do!?"

Seth picked up the dish, grabbed a brush, walked up to Feixiao, and revealed an extremely sinister smile.

"Heh heh heh! My little fox, you're a bit wild now, so I need to put a 'collar' on you."

As he spoke, Seth held the dish of red gel in front of Feixiao.

"This is a voodoo potion passed down from the Duran era."

Feixiao's face showed a disdainful sneer.

"Want to poison me? No need for such trouble—just chop me to death!"

As she said this, Feixiao nodded toward a weapon rack not far away.

"Poison? You're the little fox I painstakingly cultivated—how could I bear to? To tell you the truth, this potion is for bestowing a blessing..."

Seth said, leaning in close to Feixiao's ear.

"As for what kind of blessing, you'll find out soon..."

Seth's face twisted into a eerie smile.

Feixiao felt a chill run down her spine, and the ominous feeling in her heart intensified.

"Kill me! You dickless trash!"

To provoke Seth, Feixiao even resorted to cursing.

But the more she did so, the more excited Seth became.

Didn't this just prove she was afraid?

So, Seth took the brush dipped in the strange pigment and made the first stroke on Feixiao's smooth, flat abdomen.

Feixiao immediately felt a strange burning sensation at the spot where the brush landed, which quickly seeped inward through her skin.

Before the burning faded, an odd tingling itch emerged, like new flesh growing under a scar.

This strange sensation was unbearable for Feixiao. She began twisting her body forcefully, especially her waist and abdomen, writhing wildly to avoid Seth's brush. It seemed she had trained her core muscles extensively.

Feixiao's movements were so large and fast that Seth couldn't even paint.

Her noncompliance immediately angered Seth.

He clenched his fist tightly and punched her in the abdomen.

"Be still!"

Seth didn't hold back at all. Feixiao's firm, flat abdomen caved in instantly, and when Seth pulled his fist away, a clear fist mark was left on her stomach.

In that instant, Feixiao felt like her organs were being squeezed out. She "wah!" spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body becoming limp and hanging weakly on the rack.

Seth's punch was terrifyingly powerful. An ordinary person hit by it would likely turn into a puddle of blood foam, but Feixiao only spat blood.

"Becoming a General is great; you've gotten much tougher~"

Seth teased with a strange laugh.

Perhaps influenced by this body, or maybe his inner beastly nature had fully awakened, Seth felt violent impulses surging from the depths of his heart.

He wanted nothing more than to grab a whip right now and lash the female body in front of him, watching her wail and scream—that sound would surely be music to his ears!

"Hmph!"

Though already very weak, Feixiao still lifted her eyelids and shot Seth a disdainful look.

"Good, good, good! I love a tough nut like you!"

Seth laughed instead of getting angry.

He began painting on Feixiao's abdomen again with the dish of eerie pigment.

Feixiao could barely move or resist, so without interference, Seth quickly finished the last stroke.

A bizarre pattern, somewhat like a flattened heart or a female internal organ structure, appeared on Feixiao's abdomen.

After Seth completed the final stroke, the entire pattern glowed faintly with a blood-red hue. Then the pigment dried instantly, branding the pattern onto Feixiao's stomach like a tattoo.

Next, Seth placed his hand on the pattern and gently stroked it.

Feixiao's body shuddered violently. She felt a scorching heat from Seth's palm seeping through her skin into her body. With his movements, a peculiar yet familiar tingling sensation was stirred from deep within her.

This familiar tingling filled Feixiao with fear, yet she couldn't help but feel a sliver of longing in her heart.

Feixiao quickly bit her tongue, trying to dispel this uncontrollable desire with sharp pain, and cursed in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"If you're going to do it, just do it! What are you dawdling for!?"

"What's the rush? Soon you'll be begging me yourself. Let's see how tough your mouth is then!"

Seth's smile turned utterly wicked. He suddenly infused a massive amount of Abundance Power into the strange mark.

After receiving the energy infusion, the mark suddenly glowed with an eerie red light.

Feixiao instantly felt as if a fire had been ignited inside her body.

Burning sensations, tingling... they all surged from deep within her at once.

Chapter 35: You'll Never Escape My Grasp in This Lifetime!

"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.

Chapter 36: Glazed Indestructible Golden Body

The Xianzhou Yaoqing welcomed another great victory.

After a satisfying slaughter, Feixiao vented her anger—for the time being.

Since the war wasn't over yet, as the commanding general, she couldn't abandon her post, so Feixiao temporarily suppressed her urge to seek trouble with Seth.

However, the name 'Seth' and his appearance were deeply branded into Feixiao's mind.

Feixiao had secretly sworn in her heart that she would make this man named Seth pay!

Like playing with bondage? Like drawing Succubus tattoos on this old lady's belly, huh!?

This old lady will tie you up someday and draw all over you, not even sparing your dick!

…

Perhaps sensing the surging killing intent from the distant Xianzhou Yaoqing.

Seth was currently researching how to use 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)' to enhance his physical strength.

He was toying with a knife in his hand.

After repeated research and careful questioning of the system, he finally understood some hidden data details of 'Glazed Indestructible Golden Body (Gold)'.

The golden body's damage endurance limit was based on what could completely destroy his body.

For example, if a bullet could cause him fatal injury, breaking through his golden body would require cannon-level power.

A cannon's power is thousands or hundreds of times greater than a bullet's.

As long as Seth kept stacking the golden body's limit higher, he had a chance to become an immortal, indestructible existence.

But to achieve this goal, he had a long road ahead.

Seth held the knife against his chest, hesitating for a long time, before finally steeling himself and stabbing it forcefully into his heart.

It was said that Xianzhou's vitality was extremely strong; even if their head was chopped off, as long as it was reattached in time, they could recover.

Unfortunately, Seth wasn't a Xianzhou person; he was a direct transmigrator, what the Xianzhou called an outsider.

A handgun or a knife could take Seth's life.

Now that his heart was pierced by his own hand, he immediately felt his life rapidly draining away with the blood gushing from the chest wound...

It seemed to reach a critical point, and soon Seth's consciousness went black, and he knew nothing more.

In his suspended animation state, Seth didn't see that his body was suddenly enveloped in a faint golden glow.

Under the golden glow, he looked like a golden Buddha statue...

He didn't know how much time passed before Seth gradually regained consciousness.

When he fully awoke, he subconsciously touched the stab wound on his chest. The skin there was restored as new, showing no sign of having been stabbed.

If not for the small bloodstains on the ground, he would have thought it was all an illusion.

As if remembering something, Seth quickly picked up the knife from the ground and slashed forcefully at his arm.

Not only was his arm uninjured, but there wasn't even a mark!

The golden body had evolved; he was now fully immune to damage from ordinary blades!

He couldn't suppress the smile creeping onto his lips.

Next, he needed to find a way to evolve the golden body to the point of immunizing against Cloud Knights standard weapons.

Don't be fooled by the cold weapon appearance of Cloud Knights arms; they're all disguised high-tech.

Xianzhou's physical qualities are much weaker than Borisin people's, but they dominate thanks to superior weapons and equipment.

For instance, seemingly ordinary swords are actually high-frequency, monomolecular, laser, and other high-tech weapons. Even Yanqing's flying swords likely incorporate something like a drone system.

As an ordinary person and an outsider wary of the Xianzhou, Seth naturally couldn't easily access Cloud Knights standard weapons unless he joined the Cloud Knights.

Seth had relied on simulations and even offended a bunch of people just to avoid being cannon fodder. Asking him to join the Cloud Knights now? What a joke.

He knew full well that in the upcoming major events, the Cloud Knights would suffer heavy casualties. Joining now would be a surefire way to become cannon fodder.

So, Seth set his sights on civilian products, like various small cutting machines. These processing tools also used high-frequency, monomolecular, high-frequency laser, and other technologies.

The first place that came to mind for such machines was the Artisanship Commission, but it primarily served the Cloud Knights, like a semi-military factory, so getting processing machines from there was unlikely.

Thus, Seth quickly thought of Aurum Alley. Unlike Exalting Sanctum, which was full of entertainment facilities, Aurum Alley had various snacks and shops, including mechanical tool stores.

…

Seth acted immediately and soon arrived at Aurum Alley.

The tool store was easy to find, and Seth quickly bought the high-frequency cutting machine he needed.

Just as Seth was about to leave, a vibrant voice caught his attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Take a look, come and see! The most thrilling acrobatic performance!"

Seth stopped in his tracks and looked closely.

In the corner of the lane, a large crowd was gathered, with a hint of bright fiery red in the middle.

"It can't be that coincidental..."

Seth muttered, approaching the crowd with some curiosity.

Upon getting closer, he saw a familiar figure performing various bizarre acrobatics in the midst of the crowd.

It was a girl in a red dress, with flame-like orange-red hair and golden eyes.

Her outfit was distinctive, blending Xianzhou styles with some Western fantasy elements. Her long legs were clad in black stockings that clung to her curves like a second skin.

To attract more viewers, the girl would perform acrobatics for a while, then bang on a nearby gong vigorously. A few Diting nearby cooperated by making noises, making the scene incredibly lively.

She also had various live-streaming equipment set up, seemingly performing street shows while broadcasting online.

Her acrobatics were quite bizarre, like eating noodles upside down, catching bullets barehanded, and so on.

For traffic, the girl was going all out.

But it wasn't her fault—who could blame her when Xianzhou lived so long and had seen every performance? To stand out, you had to be creative.

It was clear the girl had mastered the art of generating buzz.

This Xianzhou version of an internet celebrity girl was named Guinaifen, though she wasn't called that yet. Her current name was Guinevere; Guinaifen was a name her future best friend Sushang would give her.

She and her siblings were likely the Star Rail world's counterparts to the characters from the Arthurian legend.

Unfortunately, the Star Rail world's Arthurian legend was interrupted before it could begin by the swarming Antimatter Legion.

Guinaifen went from princess to a refugee from a ruined nation.

To survive, her brothers became interstellar pirates, and coincidentally, they robbed an Xianzhou.

As followers of the Hunt, they believed in inevitable revenge, no matter how many years it took.

When her brothers were about to be beheaded, upon hearing their family's situation, the Cloud Knights spared them and brought the whole family to the Xianzhou.
