Seized by the System

The next day, the ballroom in Pan Residence was filled with smiles and laughter, sweet songs and graceful dances.

Pan Liang fixed his gaze on seven graceful ladies dressed in veils and thin clothing, his heart moved.

His disreputable friends whom he gathered around him reacted the same as well.

These were fairies from the Upper Realm!

An inch more or less, they would feel too fat or too skinny. There was nothing inappropriate about them, and everything about them was delicate.

Female celebrities from the human world who relied on makeup, hyaluronic acid, and botox would have to acknowledge defeat in front of these seven fairies from the upper realm.

No wonder when the vitality era was activated, they quickly became fanatics of the cultivation world…

Ling Yunzi was introducing the guests in the hall to the seven fairies, he announced in a clear voice, “Seven fairies, let me introduce you, these are all elites and outstanding talents of this realm. Don’t underestimate them, although they’re mostly Bucket-level or Pond-level at the moment, their family backgrounds are profound and they’re very resourceful, they’ll have bright futures.”

A slightly older fairy with decorous appearance nodded and replied, “Thank you, Senior Ling Yunzi. I’m the palace mistress of Liu Yun Palace from the upper realm, these are my sisters Meng Xi, Xing Xi, Yun Xi… We’ll be in your care from now on, I hope that you won’t be stingy in helping us, young masters.”

A wealthy man quickly responded before anyone else could, “Fairy, you’re being too polite, whenever you need it, we’ll be sure to give full support. Oh right, this is my name card, please kindly accept it.”

Soon enough, a group of men in the hall acted like cats that smelt fish, they surrounded them to compete in introducing their own strengths, and to forward their contact information.

‘Hmph, what a bunch of idiots. As expected, they’re all low-born commoners.’ Ling Yunzi thought to himself with an expressionless face, but was actually disdainful.

Beautiful women and skeletons were completely equivalent in the eyes of a cultivator like him, they could not exist forever. Eventually, beautiful women would become a pile of skeletons.

Living beings that only set their eyes on the good in front of them but disregard the terror that laid ahead were just a bunch of lowly beings.

They sought enjoyment in the short-lived pleasure, yet show no significance in the long stream of history.

Pan Liang was after all the person with the highest cultivation level among these people. He had secretly advanced into Pond-level, and was even regretful that he was not chosen as the representative for climbing the stairway last year.

It was said that the stairway would be opened again but nobody knew when.

He could communicate to Heaven and Earth, and possessed spiritual resistance.

Although he coveted the seven fairies, he could still control this feeling of his, and noticed faint hints of their backgrounds.

Unlike the old master, he knew his disreputable friends very well.

Normally, these fellows could still control themselves in front of those beautiful women on Earth as it had become a common scene to them, so they lost the feeling of freshness long ago.

However, the fairies from the Upper Realm had far more distinguishable elegance and indistinct charm, which was irresistible to these Bucket-level or Cutlery-level beings. Should they lose their rationality and revealed their shameful nature, it would be excusable.

It was evident by referring to past incidents of those drunk fellows, where they committed deeds that truly made one speechless.

He had to manage the banquet so that the fairies would not feel bored, lest the plan be ruined.

Hence, Pan Liang purposely “coughed” a few times, causing a secretive sound wave to cross the crowd’s minds.

Upon hearing him, the wealthy men that were like flaunting male peacocks instantly became slightly sober.

All at once, they blushed with shame and apologized to the seven fairies.

Fortunately, the seven fairies who were surrounded and pleased by many ordinary men did not show many signs of feeling impatient.

They either smiled plainly, became coldly untouchable, or remained sweet and approachable. All in all, their emotions were still within senses of propriety.

“Everyone, the fairies are tired, we’ll let the fairies get some rest first. We’ll have ample time in the future, you’ll have your time to show respect to the fairies.” Pan Liang was afraid that the situation would go out of hand, thus he advised as such.

“Hmph, who do you think you are, Pan Liang? How dare you order me around?” All of a sudden, somebody called out.

When Pan Liang heard that, he put on a cruel look almost instantly and looked towards that person. Subsequently, he furrowed his brows and held his anger in, he did not act on it.

It turned out that the person who spoke was a young man with a greasy but powdered face, Luo Bu.

Though his name sounded rather funny, his identity was definitely distinctive. It was said that his brother, Luo Po had joined the Azure Mountain in his early years, it was unknown how far he had progressed for his cultivation base.

Taking advantage of this son’s background, the Luo Family speedily became prosperous as soon as the vitality era was activated, they were the typical upstarts.

Owing to that, Luo Bu was extremely domineering as well. It was only because of Vigilante A who came forth and wiped out those from Azure Mountain, that this little fellow laid low, and hence did not commit evil.

Nevertheless, in this banquet today, it was clear that everyone wanted to be in the limelight. They wanted to flaunt like peacocks in front of the fairies from the upper realm, and to show off their prestige by using their owner’s names.

Right then, Pan Liang spoke faintly, “Sir Luo, you’re an important character, of course I can’t butt in your affairs.”

“This is more like it. Fairy Meng Xi, I’ll continue talking to you about my brother and Azure Mountain.” Luo Bu instantly became haughty, he then humbled himself in front of a petite fairy.

“Alright, I really like elites with profound talents. With such a remarkable Elder Brother Luo Bo, I believe Younger Brother Luo Bo won’t be very different.” Meng Xi the petite fairy chuckled.

“Hehe, back then I was too young and my family members were worried, so they only sent my elder brother to Azure Mountain. Previously, they were going to take me too but who knew, Vigilante A beat up the two people who were going to take me in, how abominable… No, I can’t show my rudeness in front of you, dear fairy, I was being fierce.” Luo Bu said pretentiously, which made the fairy chuckle again, and he felt like his bones became lighter.

Pan Liang looked at Ling Yunzi the old master, who shook his head at him.

Immediately, he got the message. He called the butler over to manage the banquet, then he went to rest in the side hall.

Not long after he sat down on the red couch, before he could even get a sip of a drink, Ling Yunzi appeared.

Pan Liang quickly stood up and expressed respectfully, “Immortal, do you have any orders?”

“Oh, those seven palace mistresses have their own plans, you need not worry about them. Looking at how you led the way, I’ll give you a friendly reminder; don’t associate with them if you can, hehe.” Right after Ling Yunzi said that, he placed his arms behind his back and walked away.

Pan Liang pondered, then bowed to the old master to demonstrate his gratefulness.

The banquet went on all night long until the morning of the day after.

Very soon, Pan Liang understood why the old master gave him such a reminder. Through some thorough sensing, he found out that the vitality endowment of his disreputable friends who participated in the gathering actually declined after one night!

If one had two indexes to one’s vitality endowment, and that both were C, now there was only one C, and the other was a C-.

It had only been one night, if this went on, how horrible would it become?

Would they not become useless? On top of that, they would never get the treatment of a protagonist, so they would become worthless even till the very end.

Most importantly, the fairies did not employ any extracting skills, as everything could be clearly seen through the surveillance cameras in the ballroom. They seemed to have not realized the power of these technologies, hence they did not hide away on purpose.

‘This is even more terrifying. Think about it, after just a night of heart-to-heart talk with them, your cultivation proficiency declines soundlessly, how can you guard against that?

‘What mysterious magic did these seven fairies use?

‘If I can secretly learn it, it won’t be impossible for me to advance into a powerhouse of Lake-level, Inland-sea level, or even Ocean-level, and Planet-level!’

Pan Liang was making plans in his head.

Since everyone was on the same boat and had the same outlooks, they believed that “Heaven and Earth would destroy those who do not look out for themselves”.

…

A couple of days later, in the suburb of Qi City.

“I’ve just descended from the upper realm and lost my magical powers by accident, I was this close to being disgraced by these commoners. Fortunately, you passed by here and saved me, I’m willing to repay your kindness in my next life by toiling like a cow and working like a horse.”

A petite lady with a stunning appearance lowered her head to say a word of thanks to an ugly man with dark skin.

Beside this man was a dog with a darker color…

“Hehe, very well, very well.” When Nan Feng heard those familiar words, his eyes were filled with tears as he waved to the lady.

When the black dog heard so, it showed an understanding smile then laid on the ground, and smiled happily.

“Brother Brett, it’s okay if you don’t sympathize me but you take pleasure in my misfortunes, your owner’s teachings were spent in vain. No wonder your Atmospheric Morality Technique always deteriorates….” Nan Feng told the black dog helplessly.

“Uh, I’m happy for you. You just did something good again, you’re another step closer to being the Godly Sword’s owner.” Brett quickly found an excuse.

“Is that so? Alright, I won’t argue with a black servant like you, I have 9999 good deeds yet to be done. Tell me, isn’t that devil sword quite problematic, other devil swords will either want me to sacrifice living beings or souls. Instead, it wants me to complete ten thousand good deeds.” Flustered, Nan Feng uttered.

“Hehe, if not, why would it take you as its master? You’re all devil prodigies, neither one is better than the other. Honestly, I’ve never really seen a good devil from the devil clan.” Brett shook its head as it could not comprehend.

“That’s because you’re less informative, what’s wrong with being a devil? Devils are just slanders of hypocrites, all of us act from our hearts and advocate freedom. If a purely good person becomes a devil, he or she would become better… The only thing is that most people have dark sides in them and it’s too easy to turn evil, which is why most of those who turn into devils are basically evil doers.” Nan Feng defended.

“Even though I don’t quite understand what you’ve said, it sounds great. Forget it, I won’t argue with you, do you want to help our friend here to settle down? Looking at how weak this lady is, I suppose she’ll be in trouble again if we leave.” Brett reminded.

“That’s true, where should we settle her down? Where I just came from is rather undisclosed and safe, but if other devils were to enter it in the future, it won’t become safe anymore.” Nan Feng was troubled.

Brett chuckled again then replied, “This is simple, the safest place in the world is near my owner’s place, the house prices there have darted to a sky high of a million per square foot! Tell me, is that safe of not?”

“Tss…” Nan Feng the Devil Vigilante was instantly struck dumb.

For the time he spent in this realm, he had a great concept of commodity prices on Earth, and he knew that capital only flowed towards safe regions.

Throughout the whole process, the petite lady remained silent. With a gentle face, she looked like she was leaving her fate up to Heaven, and let the devil and the dog arrange her destiny.
