Divine Origin Continent, Lower Realm, Holy Martial Dynasty.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning slashed across the clear sky.

The lightning struck a grassy slope near Immortal Cloud Sect. A young boy raised his head to look at the sky, a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"What the hell, where is this? Just a minute ago, wasn't I playing King Glory?" he murmured to himself.

The boy's name was Qin Huai, fifteen years old. He had been playing a competitive online game with his classmates while charging his phone.

During a critical game, as soon as his character was about to make a big comeback with a pentakill, his phone suddenly became overheated. After hearing an explosion, he passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a vast field of grass.

"It must be those pranksters in the dormitory. When I get back, I will sell all your runes." Qin Huai cursed.

Just as he had started walking, he noticed a figure squatting some distance away.

He wanted to ask for directions, so he quickly approached and began, "Excuse me, could you tell me where this is—"

He pushed the brush aside before he could finish, only to see that the person crouched in front of him was a woman.

She was beautiful, her skin was fair, her eyes radiant, and she was dressed in a traditional gown. Her jet-black eyes were full of surprise as she stared at Qin Huai, motionless.

"Aah!"

Just at that moment, the lady suddenly uttered a cry and clutched her thigh. A venomous snake slid across the ground and disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye.

"Miss, are...are you hurt?"

Qin Huai was shocked. This snake was thick and huge, of an unknown species, but it undoubtedly looked poisonous.

If he was late in treating it, he was afraid the young woman would be fatally harmed.

"Don't worry, Miss, I have received wilderness survival training, and I know how to draw out poison," Qin Huai hurriedly approached, without any further ado, he pushed her down onto the ground.

He then opened his mouth wide and fiercely began to suck the poison out from the wound on her leg.

"Ah...you..."

The woman was obviously panicking, struggling desperately, but it seemed she couldn't use her strength after the snake bite.

Even though it's inappropriate for this intimacy between a man and a woman, at such a critical moment, how could Qin Huai care about that? Saving her was the priority.

He held the woman down resolutely and started to suck out the poison.

As he was extracting the poison, he turned his head unintentionally and got the shock of his life.

Damn it!

What the heck!

Holy moly...

She...She wasn't wearing any pants?

Could it be when she was squatting earlier...she was...

Upon realizing, Qin Huai's mind went into complete chaos. Fortunately, the poison seemed to have been largely sucked out by that time. He spat out the truly toxic blood and got up hastily.

"Phew... Miss, I've helped you to extract the poison. Please be careful next time you take a little relief, try to avoid such places..."

As Qin Huai was speaking, he saw the girl's eyes reddening abruptly.

Then, she drew a sword from nowhere and assumed a stance.

"You pervert, I'm going to kill you."

Qin Huai laughed out, "Miss, do you think we are shooting a movie? Pulling your sword at any moment. Oh I see, you're an actress, right? Let me guess, you are playing in Green Clouds Chronicles II, are you playing the role of Biyao?"

"Kill you!"

But the beauty roared, brandishing her sword and making threatening sounds.

Qin Huai was stunned, almost wet his pants with fear. The blade traced a deep cut on his arm, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Holy shit, are you serious? I was helping you take out the poison! You're the one who got bitten by the snake because you relieved yourself anywhere."

"And besides, I didn't see it there. Alright, I just caught a little glimpse. Why are you acting like it's a life-or-death situation?" Qin Huai hastily explained.

"As a monk, how could I be endangered by a mere snake. Clearly, it is you... you... shameless..." The beauty was so enraged she could hardly speak, and she swung her sword up again.

"Wait, wait... Your trousers, you didn't zip up!" Qin Huai couldn't understand what she meant by "monk", so in the heat of the moment, he shouted out when he noticed her trousers.

The beauty was shocked and hastily bent down to zip her trousers.

Qin Huai took the opportunity to escape, thinking how unlucky he was to encounter a lunatic today. He saved her life, but rather than expressing gratitude, she tried to kill him.

Lunatics murdering people and not being held accountable, no wonder she carries a lethal weapon.

He had only taken two steps when his body suddenly froze, rigid and immobile.

A strong surge of consciousness rushed to his brain. He clutched his throbbing head instinctively.

"The first prodigy of the Sacred Martial Empire, the young master of the Zhenbei General Manor, broke through to the ninth level of the Ground Vein realm at the age of thirteen. The Emperor arranged for him to marry the eldest princess."

"An odd illness struck, Qinhuai's combat cultivation did not only stall but retrogress. Three months later, he lost all his combat cultivation and became a waste."

"The Emperor was enraged and rearranged the marriage. He decided to marry the younger princess to Qinhuai. The young princess was rumored to be frail and sickly, ugly, and wouldn't live past fifteen."

"I, Qinhuai, do not believe in fate. I will not be a husband to a short-lived princess. I will find the Dragon Crystal Stone and cleanse my marrow."

"Haha...After six months of journeying, I finally found the Emperor Dragon Crystal. The heavens have finally shown some mercy to me, Qinhuai.”

"Zhao Kuo, you are so despicable, ambushing me. You... give me back my Dragon Crystal Stone..."

...

Finally, his memory was fully pieced together. As expected, he had transmigrated to the Divine Origin Continent, into the body of a young man also named Qinhuai.

And the last scene of his memory was about when Qinhuai finally found the Dragon Crystal but was ambushed and killed by his close friend, Zhao Kuo.

He had died from electrocution in his previous life, so transmigration was obviously the best outcome.

But what frustrated him was that in the TV dramas about transmigration, the protagonists would always bring some treasures along with them.

However, he, Qinhuai, had brought nothing. His hands were empty and he was powerless.

In his previous life, although he was a homebody, he was a mighty leader in the gaming world, leading his comrades to move mountains and exact revenge, living a carefree life.

But in this life, at least for now, there is no hope in sight.

Even the naive, innocent lady he encountered, who stopped to relieve herself carelessly, he couldn't defeat.

...

"Hmph!"

At this moment, the innocent lady finally pulled her pants up and looked back towards Qin Huai.

"You shameless beast! Prepare to meet your end."

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with resentment, as her long sword stabbed forward.

Qin Huai was startled, and blurted out, "How dare you! I am the heir to the General of the Northern Army and the son-in-law of the current dynasty. If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll have my father-in-law shoot you down."

Although this was merely a statement made with audacious grandeur, it still managed to make the innocent lady falter.

Her beautiful eyes immediately froze on him.

"Ding!"

In Qin Huai's mind, a screen as big as an iPad appeared, displaying a interface similar to a video game.

Using his will, he explored this interface, and then the cold, robotic voice of the system rang out again in his mind.
