The Tang family of Yanjing, the largest alchemy family in China, is a behemoth with deep roots and lush foliage. However, when faced with Master Ye, a figure who reigns supreme, they still have no choice but to submit.
In a secret cave behind the Tang family's old house, a young girl of about twenty years old sat cross-legged on a futon. In front of her was a very exquisite and small alchemy furnace, with nine flying dragons winding upwards, seemingly about to soar into the sky. The furnace was filled with the fragrance of medicine.
"Wuyou, come quickly to save me—" The elderly Tang family patriarch, Tang Xiuyuan, leaning on his cane, rushed into the cave and shouted.
The girl named Wuyou had a focused gaze, not even sparing a glance, and her clear, cold voice seemed to come from afar, "What's wrong?"
The girl's expression was calm, indicating that she was already used to this kind of scene.
Tang Xiuyuan blushed, then said, "What kind of attitude is this? If it weren't for the Tang family, would you still be alive today?"
Wuyou lowered her eyes slightly, her voice filled with a cold indifference, "What do you need me to do?"
"That killing god Ye Fan is here. He was rejected when he asked you for your hand in marriage last time, and he's clearly holding a grudge." Tang Xiuyuan's expression wasn't good, and he was still somewhat resentful towards Wuyou. If he had agreed earlier, their Tang family wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
"I agree."
Tang Xiuyuan's expression brightened with joy, but before he could speak, a young man walked in, exceptionally handsome with a smile on his face. "Good, good, good—Wuyou, don't worry, I will definitely marry you with a grand wedding procession and will not let you suffer any injustice."
As a dignified Celestial Venerable, he certainly had the ability to make such a promise. Promoting a small family like the Tang family was nothing to him, and he didn't care about having one more dog.
"You can leave now—" Wuyou's eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace the whole time, and she didn't care about anything else at all. Ye Fan was a little displeased, but his anger dissipated after smelling the aroma of the pills.
After March, the entire capital of Yanjing was bathed in red bridal procession, with countless powerful forces vying to curry favor with Master Ye, demonstrating his immense influence. Only Tang Wuyou, one of the main characters, remained indifferent, showing neither the shyness of a bride nor the anger of someone forced into marriage, like a still, stagnant pool of water.
On their wedding night, a deafening clap of thunder echoed from Yunding Mountain, and everything vanished in the thunder that resounded throughout the night.
The next day, people discovered that the entire Yunding Mountain had been reduced to ashes, as if it had never existed.
Within the ethereal space, mechanical voices rang out, adding two more layers of allure.
Do you want to do it all over again? To take revenge on the Tang family who took advantage of your kindness, and on Ye Fan who threatened to force you into marriage.
"I don't want to." Wuyou shook her head; she didn't care about love or hate at all.
"[Tang Wuyou, you truly are the most suitable mission taker.]" The mechanical voice wasn't discouraged by Wuyou's lack of cooperation; on the contrary, it was even more satisfied with him. As a mission taker, one must travel between different worlds, and superfluous emotions are unnecessary. Someone like Wuyou, lacking in emotion, is the most suitable candidate.
Everything else can be recreated later in life, but emotions are something that cannot be shaped later; they are destined to be unchangeable. It travels through billions of worlds, seeking such a host.
Wuyou's brow twitched, and she finally reacted, saying unhappily, "I am Wuyou." Not Tang Wuyou. She had never considered herself a member of the Tang family, but merely an orphan adopted by the Tang family.
[Alright, no worries. Congratulations on passing my test. You are now the host of the Face-Slapping System, and I am Face-Slapping System No. 2333.]
“I did not agree.” Wuyou frowned.
[As long as the host agrees to join the system, they can travel through countless time and space, experiencing the lives of countless people. Moreover, once bound, there are no changes; forcibly unbinding will only result in your soul being scattered.]
The 2333 system is very good at playing the trick of giving a stick and then giving a sweet date.
Experiencing a different life? Wuyou couldn't help but twitch her brow when she heard this. She was adopted by the Tang family when she was young, and ever since her extraordinary talent was discovered, she had been confined to a cave to refine pills and cultivate. She really had never seen the outside world or met anyone other than the Tang family.
Choosing to blow up Ye Fan and his group was simply because she was fed up with it all—fed up with this boring life. Undeniably, she was tempted.
"I agree." Experiencing someone else's life must be better than spending my whole life in a cave!
【Please close your eyes and clear your mind. You will see your own sea of consciousness. Extract a wisp from it and place it on the screen to formally sign the contract.】 The system's voice sounded just in time, answering Wuyou's question.
Upon hearing this, Wuyou obediently closed her eyes and, as the system had instructed, saw her own spiritual world, a vast ocean as calm as still water. A wisp of spiritual energy detached from it and emerged from between Wuyou's eyebrows.
[Ding—Congratulations, host, on successfully signing the contract and becoming a novice host. As you are a newbie, you will receive 'newbie world protection,' meaning you will not be punished for failing three world missions. The Face-Slapping System belongs to the Main God System and fulfills others' wishes at the cost of their souls. If you fail a mission, you will be sent to the punishment world; if you succeed five times, you can go to the vacation world. Good luck, host!]
The system rambled on and on, like a worried old mother, but its beloved little one remained unmoved, only managing a curt "Oh" in the end.
"Let's start the mission!" Wuyou didn't want to waste any more time. Accustomed to being aloof, she couldn't quite accept the system's enthusiasm and chatter.
[To help the host better adapt to the mission and complete it without any worries, the system has set the first mission world the host experiences to be the world you originally in. Please be mentally prepared.]
