Manipulative Harem God



As Zhang Wei retreated to the confines of his bedroom, and the smile faded from his face replaced by a cloud of melancholy enveloped him like a suffocating fog.

Seeking solace, he withdrew a cigarette from its pack, its tip igniting with a flick of his lighter.

He inhaled deeply, the bitter smoke mingling with his despondent thoughts.

His body throbbed with a faint ache, a lingering reminder of the vigorous entanglements he had experienced with Yu Lei.

The physical discomfort served as a stark reminder that he had gravely overestimated his own strength.

Zhang Wei's confidence wavered, teetering on the precipice of doubt.

'System, what is happening?' he queried, his voice tinged with confusion. 'As a cultivator, shouldn't I possess unparalleled prowess?'

The vision of a harem, a tapestry of seduction and desire, danced before his eyes.

But the system stood ready to obliterate his fantasies, its words poised like a sword above his dreams.

[Host, you do possess superior strength. However, your cultivation itself is woefully lacking.]

A wry smile tugged at the corners of Zhang Wei's lips, but the memory of Leng Mei's forewarning cast a shadow over his thoughts.

A terrible revelation loomed, threatening to shatter the fragments of his elaborate fantasies.

'Does cultivation also ignite a woman's sexual appetite?' he inquired with a hint of suspicion.

[Naturally, it does, host.]

Silence descended upon Zhang Wei as he exhaled a plume of smoke, his heart heavy with a silent elegy for his dashed hopes.

How could he have neglected such a crucial consideration?

[Compared to the mortal Yu Lei, Leng Yan withstood your advances more resiliently, host. But if you were to engage with Leng Mei, she alone might exhaust you. Only your superior cultivation technique grants you a chance to match her in the realm of passion.]

Zhang Wei couldn't comprehend why, but he could almost sense the imaginary smirk of the system, an embodiment of mockery, as it ruthlessly obliterated his aspirations.

Wasn't this tantamount to forcing a premature halt to his plans of indulging in the mother-daughter pair?

Confidence dwindled within him as he contemplated the audacious notion of entertaining four or five mortal women throughout the night.

The realization struck him like a lightning bolt—should those women prove to be cultivators, it would be he who would struggle to walk come morning, not they.

Confusion and frustration gripped him, his romantic escapades veering far from the familiar script he had envisioned.

Was he destined to forever engage with women weaker in strength than himself?

And what of the celestial princess who had captivated his fantasies?

The mere thought added fuel to the inferno of his inner turmoil.

Zhang Wei's mood plunged to the depths of despair, an amalgamation of sorrow and a sense of helplessness.

He grappled with a reality he could not control, a reality where his cultivation could enhance his own endurance but not that of his chosen companions.

How could he have naively believed that cultivation would solely bolster his prowess in bed and not that of the women who held his desires captive?

Zhang Wei, oblivious to his existing advantage, brushed off the fact that his divine talent, coupled with his unmatched cultivation techniques, bestowed upon him an unrivaled prowess in the realm of intimacy.

Yet, he remained unsatisfied.

Can we really blame Zhang Wei? Despite being at a measly level one, his gaze fixated on goddesses beyond his reach. The game's difficulty was mercilessly stacked against him.

His aspirations soared to unreachable heights.

He yearned to ascend the beds of women who surpassed him in power, bypassing levels with audacious fervor.

Suddenly, as if a twist of fate, the system proposed a solution to his distress.

[Host, I can help.]

Zhang Wei's astonishment knew no bounds.

Had he been mistaken all along, misjudging the system as a villainous entity?

It revealed itself as a saint!

In an instant, the descriptions of two captivating items materialized before his eyes.

========

1) Item Name: Dragon God's Transcendent Bloodline

Description: The Dragon God's Transcendent Bloodline is a mythical and coveted inheritance that traces its origin to a time long past. Legend tells of a catastrophic event where a majestic white serpent, descending from the heavens, unleashed unstoppable flames that devoured both the physical realm and the very fabric of time. In the midst of this chaos, an enigmatic cultivator emerged and bravely confronted the serpent, ultimately slaying the mighty creature and later uniting the three Heavenly planes, becoming its first supreme ruler.

Little did the world know, the dragon was already weakened and had chosen to self-destruct, transferring its essence, its lifeblood, to the one destined to become the supreme ruler.

Recognizing the immense potential contained within the dragon's essence, the first supreme ruler made a momentous decision. The Dragon God's Transcendent Bloodline was divided among the ruler's most loyal and trusted soldiers, in the hopes that one day it would awaken in their descendants. Infused with the unimaginable power of the celestial serpent, this bloodline grants its bearers extraordinary abilities and unrivaled potential. However, throughout the ages, no documented evidence has surfaced to substantiate the existence of any individual blessed with this rare and sacred lineage.

Cost: Unattainable through conventional means

Rank: Unapprasiable

2) Item Name: Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline

Description: The Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline is a revered lineage that traces its origins to the legendary phoenix, a mythical bird associated with fire and rebirth. Those who bear the Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline possess a deep connection to this majestic creature, manifesting in their abilities and physical attributes.

Individuals with the Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline exhibit a fiery disposition and radiate an aura of power. They possess an innate control over fire, enabling them to manipulate flames with exceptional precision. The flames they wield can be both destructive and purifying, capable of incinerating enemies or providing warmth and protection.

The Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline grants its bearers a heightened regenerative capacity, allowing them to heal from injuries at an accelerated rate. As they cultivate their bloodline, their bodies become more resilient, their senses sharpened, and their physical prowess enhanced.

Cost: Ten Million Villain points

Rank: Heavenly Sovereign

A/N: Haven't formally introduced bloodline ranks, be patient!

======

Zhang Wei's face turned blank, his expression marred by black lines hovering above his head. He felt an overwhelming urge to unleash a torrent of curses upon the system.

Wasn't the bloodline section supposed to be locked?

Was this wily system toying with his emotions?

Ten million villain points?

What utter nonsense!

To add insult to injury, he couldn't even purchase the other item.

Is this system playing cruel pranks on him?

If so, Zhang Wei couldn't be any less impressed.
