"System, are you sure this is my blind date?"
Chu Xinxin looked at the man sitting opposite her, his eyes lecherously scanning her up and down, and got goosebumps all over her body. She made sure she hadn't made a mistake with her blind date.
This is the third man Chu Xinxin has gone on blind dates with since arriving in this small world of cultivation.
He was wearing an indigo robe embroidered with cranes, and looked quite respectable, but what came out of his mouth was nothing but garbage.
The man across from me kept talking like a machine gun—
"I'll be frank. After we get married, we'll live with my parents, but you'll have to cook, do laundry, and clean. The new house will be registered in my name, and we'll pay the mortgage together."
"The bride price is 30,000 spirit stones, but my mother says you must give birth to at least two sons."
"I heard you play music at Siyin Pavilion. Siyin Pavilion is a place where you show your face in public. You should submit your resignation tomorrow. I will give you 1,000 spirit stones every month for living expenses, which will be enough to buy groceries."
"You're not bad looking, barely good enough to be accepted into the Huang family."
......
A few days ago, Chu Xinxin woke up to find herself in a strange world, and inexplicably bound to a "blind date system" to complete tasks. If she couldn't complete them, she wouldn't be able to return to her original world.
Chu Xinxin was utterly speechless. Why was everyone else bound to a system that made her a leading lady, a heartthrob, and had all sorts of amazing abilities, while she was stuck with a matchmaking system?
On the first day of the binding, she questioned the system, and the system's cold and ruthless electronic voice mechanically broadcast her questions in her mind.
Chu Xinxin, who has been in a SoLo relationship since birth, sincerely prayed to God for a boyfriend. God specially sent a matchmaking system to assist the host. As long as the host completes enough matchmaking tasks, she can get a handsome, rich and good-looking ideal man in the main world.
Handsome, rich, and skilled in bed, Chu Xinxin was tempted and clicked the confirm binding button on the virtual screen.
So she entered the little world and began her blind date journey.
After the binding was complete, the system switched to a lively little boy personality, calling Chu Xinxin "sister" repeatedly, making her very happy.
[Sister, this is your blind date today. According to your requirements, he's the best-looking man on the 'Jiayuan.com' dating website recently. What's wrong with him?]
"What's wrong with him? Damn it, is he even speaking human language?"
Is he looking for a wife? Or is he looking for a nanny to have children for his whole family? Is there a throne to inherit in his family?
And he wants to have at least two sons! We're not even officially dating yet, and he's already trying to boss me around at work. 1000 spirit stones?!
That's not even enough for a handbag I could buy at the Treasure Pavilion! Mama's boy, mediocre man, subservient man, ptooey!
The man rattled off a long list of demands, and at the end, he said to Chu Xinxin in a very generous manner, "You can tell me whatever you want to ask for."
Chu Xinxin: "I can accept all the conditions you've mentioned, but..."
The man's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "But what?"
"But our Chu family girls, once they get married, must live in a blessed land with a spiritual vein of at least grade three."
My cousin, who married into the worst-off family in the family, still lives in a fifth-grade house. Your family shouldn't fall below that standard, or I won't be able to hold my head up high at my parents' house.
"After marriage, the spirit beast that picks me up and drops me off at the grocery store must be at least an Ice Mandarin Duck, Fire Phoenix, or Azure Luan."
"I think the new Qiankun Bracelet from the Treasure Pavilion would be perfect for holding food. And I hope the cinnabar, wolf-hair brush, alchemy furnace, and protective mountain formation are all original imports from Penglai Immortal Island..."
"By the way, my mother said that Chu is a common surname, so the children born will take my surname. My parents can't live without me, and they will move in with me after I get married."
"Also, my father said that you are currently just an unofficial staff member of the Spirit Plant Bureau, which is too unstable. Only when you pass the exam and become a full-fledged staff member will my father give me my household registration book to go to the Marriage Bureau to get the Marriage Token."
"Brother, you're so outstanding, and your Huang family is so wealthy, you should be able to meet all these requirements, right?"
With each word Chu Xinxin spoke, the man's expression grew increasingly grim, until finally his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The man was unsure how to respond when his hand touched the spirit beast token hidden in his sleeve. He took it out as if he had found a life-saving medicine and placed it on the table, deliberately showing the side with the fire phoenix painted on it. Then he coughed dramatically.
"Young ladies shouldn't be so materialistic..."
"Whose carriage is that outside that has no spirit?" The waiter asked several times in the lobby but received no response. He then turned and shouted outside, "It doesn't belong to our shop. Have the people from the Capital Prefecture drag it away."
"No, no, no, it's mine, it's mine..."
The man on the blind date hurriedly ran out to move his car.
Chu Xinxin rolled her eyes, called the waiter over to settle the bill, and then followed him out.
The man moved the carriage and turned around to see Chu Xinxin. He forced a smile and explained, "My spirit beast is restricted from driving today."
Chu Xinxin ignored him, took out her spirit beast token and tossed it into the sky. A fiery phoenix, completely red without any blemishes, spread its wings and uttered a clear and melodious cry, attracting the attention of passersby who were filled with envy.
Then, with a light touch of her slender feet, she leaped onto the phoenix's back and rode away.
On the Fire Phoenix, Chu Xinxin complained, "System, can you be a little more reliable? Don't recommend men who use fake spirit beast tokens to swindle people to me anymore!"
[Sister, I was wrong, sob sob, I'll definitely open my eyes wider and choose carefully for you next time.]
"No, I never want to go on blind dates again. Last time it was a divorced man who was an abuser, and the time before that it was a fat, greasy man. If I keep going on blind dates, I'm afraid I'll develop androphobia."
[No, sister, you've already broken the record for "slowest progressing host." If you don't find a way to successfully go on a blind date soon, the difficulty of your missions in later worlds will increase exponentially.]
Chu Xinxin shrugged and started to give up: "Whatever."
No matter how much the system tried to persuade her, Chu Xinxin ignored it and returned to the gate of Siyin Pavilion. She put away the Fire Phoenix and strode in with her long legs.
In this world, Chu Xinxin is also called Chu Xinxin, and she is the chief musician of Siyinge Qin Workshop.
As soon as I entered, I ran into Ya Wen, who claimed to be an expert on everything in Shengjing.
Ya Wen tugged at Chu Xinxin's sleeve: "Xinxin, do you know that our new Pavilion Master of Siyin Pavilion is taking office tomorrow?"
Who is it?
"That big shot from Zichen Palace."
"Xiao Linyi?"
Ya Wen gave him a "you're awesome" look: "Don't call the big boss by his name, it's a taboo."
Chu Xinxin understood immediately. She knew that even the most powerful and influential people had a temper and didn't like being called by their first names.
So she obediently changed her words: "How come that person, who has been detached from worldly affairs for so long, suddenly becomes our pavilion master?"
Ya Wen: "I heard that Master Tianji cast a divination for him, saying that the reason he hasn't ascended to immortality yet is because his worldly ties haven't been severed. And these worldly ties... reside within our Siyin Pavilion..."
