The system asked, "You weren't affected in any way, were you?"

The mugwort nodded.

The system said, "This time, the central platform has assigned you a world." It switched to a businesslike tone, "This world is a cultivation world. Let me briefly explain the original world line to you."

Ai Cao raised an eyebrow: "This time you're not letting me choose for myself?"

The system said, "The situation in this world is very serious..."

"So you're just passing it on to me?"

The system paused for a moment, then said, "The reward is very generous." Its voice was soft, and it said somewhat sheepishly, "It really is very generous."

"What kind of compensation?"

The system fell into a subtle silence.

Ai Cao sighed: "Just one promise?"

The system stammered and whispered in rebuttal: "Because the promises of the middle platform will really be fulfilled, and they only need to make a few changes... um... really."

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of it, Ai Cao simply stopped asking. After all, she was currently a transmigrator traveling between various small worlds with the help of the system.

Going to this world with its rich rewards is no different from going to any other world.

Artemisia said, "You go first."

The system breathed a sigh of relief. It said, "The female protagonist of this cultivation world is... uh, never mind."

"She is of the bloodline of an ancient nine-tailed fox. A nine-tailed fox can cultivate a tail in each of its lifetimes. If it passes away peacefully, it can continue to cultivate its tail in the next life."

"The female protagonist has already cultivated nine tails, and in this life, she's practically destined to become an immortal..."

"She met a man."

"After that, she cut off one of her tails for each of eight men."

"When only her tail remained, her people finally discovered it."

"Her people joined forces to seal her memories and abilities, hoping she would live an ordinary life; but all the men she had met in her previous eight lives became entangled with her in this life."

Artemisia was silent for a moment, then asked, "And then?"

"Then she died. The men worked together to make the world a better place... and the world was destroyed in their hands."

The system said, "This time, the central platform has given you a corresponding gift pack."

It boasted with exaggerated flaunting, "A grand gift package of cultivation power and magical treasures! It will transform you from an ordinary human into a powerful cultivator! Because it's limited to this world, it's exceptionally powerful!"

"What about my other skills?" Ai Cao asked.

The system paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly and said, "Oh dear, I can't hear you. Let's go to the next world now..."

A voice, similar to but subtly different from the system's, whispered in Ai Cao's mind: "Let's go and gather more luck."

At the same time, the spindle body shone brightly.
