The spring wind is warm and the entire earth is bursting with life, painting a thriving picture.

In the heart of the Golden Dragon City, within a small courtyard in the Yang Residence.

Yang Hongwu opened his eyes, shook his numb arm, and suddenly felt something was off. His right hand touched a soft spot, causing him to subconsciously massage it.

"What's this? It feels quite comfortable."

He turned his head, and lying beside him was a woman. Her skin was fair and delicate, like a baby. Her features were extremely exquisite, far surpassing those so-called female celebrities on television. Her beauty was almost indescribable.

"So, it's a dream, a beautiful one at that." Yang Hongwu was overjoyed. Although he often had some inappropriate dreams, undoubtedly, this was the most splendid.

"I wish I wouldn't wake up so soon, let me enjoy this a bit more," he secretly said to himself. Just as he was about to relish in this pleasant sensation, a piercing pain shot through his head. It was as if his skull was being forcibly torn apart, the agony so intense that he wished for immediate death.

After a dozen or so breaths, the pain gradually subsided.

To Yang Hongwu, those dozen breaths felt like half a century.

Some extra memories also surfaced in his mind.

-Ancient Wilderness, Golden Dragon City, third prince of Tianjiao Residence. Sorting through the memories, Yang Hongwu was stunned. Such a good fortune had befallen him. He had traversed to a different era, catching up with the trend. The Tianjiao King was the head of the three Martial Kings of the Golden Dragon Dynasty, holding a prestigious position, superior to all but one.

And he was now in the body of Yang Hongwu, the third son of the Tianjiao King, with an esteemed lineage and lofty status.

Originally he was just an average university graduate without a job. Who would have thought that he'd wake up as the third prince of the Tianjiao Residence?

"What the heck, why am I this unlucky?"

The woman beside him was called Yu Ji, sharing the same name as the famous concubine of Xiang Yu, the Western Chu Overlord of the Chu-Han Contention in Earth's history.

As the name indicates, this Lady Yu Ji is an unparalleled beauty. To describe her as a peril to the nation would not be an overstatement. She is reputed to be the most beautiful woman in the Golden Dragon Dynasty.

Transported to a different reality and ended up sleeping with a ravishing beauty, one might think this to be an extraordinary event. But the truth of the matter is far from it.

Yang Hongwu is the son of the formidable King Yang Tianjiao. He is bestowed with talents that go against the heavens, possessing a pure Yang body. He practices the Nine Revolutions Pure Yang, a miraculous martial art unparalleled in this world. Only one person has ever successfully practiced it on the Ancient Desolate Continent, the man known as the Nine Yang Honorable. He too possessed a pure Yang body, was invincible in his time and created the martial art, Nine Revolutions Pure Yang.

However, a massive constraint comes with the Nine Revolutions Pure Yang—it requires purity. In other words, this incredible skill is a celibacy cultivation method. It requires a pure Yang body and, crucially, virginity in order to cultivate.

After starting the cultivation process, until the completion, one must observe celibacy. Failure to do so results in the elimination of all his abilities, and the destruction of the Yang body, making further cultivation of any martial arts impossible. The individual would then become useless.

On the Ancient Desolate Continent, might makes right. The stronger ones are able to summon the winds and command the rains, enjoying riches and honor, whereas the weak ones are treated like dust, less than pigs and dogs.

Once the pure Yang body is ruined and cultivation is lost, the status inevitably plummets, even facing the risk of being expelled from the King's residence. As the King, Yang Tianjiao is a true hero who conquered his throne through countless battles. Even if it's his own son, once deemed useless, he would abandon him like throwing dust to the wind.

Without cultivation and a powerful physique, he lost all his supports. If expelled from the King’s household, his survival itself is put into question.

Yang Hongwu couldn’t help but bitter laugh. His predecessor was excessively arrogant, disregarding everyone in the Golden Dragon Dynasty, offending countless talented young elites, deepening their hatred for him. If they caught wind of his current weakened state, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just thinking about the possible consequences sent a shiver down Yang Hongwu's spine.

"Damn, this is a trap. This woman is extremely ruthless," he thought, glancing at the gorgeous woman beside him, wishing he could strangle her.

"Your Highness, you're awake," Yu Ji fluttered her lashes; her melodious voice was intoxicating.

At the sound of her voice, a surge of anger from within was triggered: "Yu Ji, you wicked woman! You've destroyed my immortal body, ruined my future, you... you're cursed!"

He wished he could kill her, but Yang Hongwu knew that he was incapable of doing so. His current powerless state was no match for Yu Ji. This woman wasn't just known as the most beautiful woman in the Golden Dragon Dynasty; she was also the strongest amongst her generation. She had reached a state of profound understanding in her cultivation ten years ago, shaping her vital energy, embodying the martial way.

It was her who had deflowered him.

Contrary pushing, the legendary contrary pushing.

"One-night couples for a hundred nights, are you so heartless, Your Highness?" Yu Ji's resentful eyes could break one's heart, but in the eyes of Yang Hongwu, this exceedingly beautiful woman was akin to a venomous snake.

"Get lost. Go away, you unworthy woman."

"Your Highness, treating people so unkindly, it pains Yu Ji's heart." Yu Ji spoke indifferently, "Since Your Highness does not fancy me, I will leave. However, with your pure Yang body, you have helped me break through and convert my Qi into spirit. I will forever remember your kindness. You are the first man – and the only man - of Yu Ji. Yu Ji carries a deep revenge in her heart and cannot stay by Your Highness' side. This is a real spirit talisman, it contains three strands of my original Qi. It can assist Your Highness three times. I hope Your Highness will take care of it. After I have my revenge, I will return to repay this favor. At that time, whether Your Highness wants to kill or cut me, Yu Ji will have no complaints."

After finishing her words, Yu Ji stood, her alluring figure displayed in front of Yang Hongwu, not avoiding his gaze at all. She put on her clothes, waved her hands, the door opened, she rose into the air, like a fairy, and disappeared into the distance.

"Qi turned into spirit?"

Converting Qi into spirit was the realm of true spirit. What the realm of true spirit implied, Yang Hongwu knew it best. In the Golden Dragon Dynasty, there were only three who were at the realm of true spirit, one of them being his own father, Yang Tianjiao.

Yang Hongwu looked at the true spirit talisman in his hands, his thoughts racing. His previous self would naturally feel affection for a femme fatale like Yu Ji, otherwise, with Yu Ji's cultivation, she wouldn't have been able to succeed. Before Yu Ji's breakthrough, although her strength was surprisingly powerful, it was not the true spirit, but the gang Qi. But as long as he, the previous Yang Hongwu, was on guard, she wouldn't have been able to get her way.

Yang Tianjiao loved and cared for him intensively, protecting him as the top priority. He had left a spirit charm on him. Once it was crushed, Yang Tianjiao would be alerted immediately and teleport over. With this, let alone Yu Ji being at the realm of gang Qi, even if she was at the true spirit realm, she wouldn't be able to get her way.
