Xiao Qian sat on the bed with a dazed look on his face.
Three hours ago, he was still a white-collar worker in the city, lying on his bed, fast asleep.
But in the blink of an eye, he has somehow traveled through time and space!
Caught off guard, it took him a full three hours to accept this reality.
Now, he is the youngest son of the King of Guangling in the Da Liang Immortal Dynasty.
The King of Guangling's residence is the only royal residence with a different surname in the Da Liang Immortal Dynasty, it holds a respected status.
The King of Guangling, Xiao Yue, controls the million-strong army of the Southern Regions.
Xiao Huan, the eldest son of Xiao Yue, is courageous and highly influential throughout the whole army. His military merit has won him the title of Marquis!
Xiao Yun, the second son, loves literature and despises martial arts. He studied at Ji Xia Academy, achieved great success in literature, and holds the official post of Senior Scholar of the Imperial Library.
Technically, Xiao Qian should be satisfied within such a powerful royal residence after crossing over.
But ten minutes ago, the housekeeper of the Guangling Mansion, Fu Lao, told him...
The King of Zhen Nan wants to forcibly marry his daughter, Huangfu Mei'er, to him!
Moreover, the people coming to propose the marriage are almost at the Guangling King's Residence!
According to the memory of the original host, this Huangfu Mei'er is lascivious by nature. At her tender age, she already carries a rather infamous reputation, often ambiguous with a number of ministers and nobles.
Marrying such a woman?!
How could Xiao Qian endure!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations! Host has successfully traversed dimensions and received the quintessential golden finger of dimensions hoppers - God-level Show-off System."
"Congratulations on receiving your novice gift pack. Would you like to claim it?"
Suddenly, a voice resounded in Xiao Qian's mind, and he felt a burst of elation.
"System! My golden finger has arrived!"
Being a dimension hopper, he naturally had to stand out from the crowd. The System was an essential golden finger!
"Claim!"
"Congratulations on acquiring the Show-off Divine Tool - Air of a Sovereign Imperial!"
"Congratulations on receiving one God-level Show-off Card."
"Congratulations on breaking through from Level 3 to a Level 9 Path Seeker."
"Congratulations on receiving 1000 experience points."
With the voice of the system, earth-shattering changes took place within Xiao Qian.
Firstly, the overpowering air of a sovereign radiated from him, asserting a formidable presence.
Secondly, his state of being instantly skyrocketed from the original host's Level 3 Path Seeker directly up to a Level 9 one!
"Ding!"
"Host: Xiao Qian."
"Experience points: 1000."
"Strength: Ninth Level Daoist."
"Item Card: Divine Level Overbearing Card x1."
"Gear: None."
"Special Blessing: Emperor's Dominance Aura."
Xiao Qian excitedly looks at his personal profile.
"No wonder it's called the Divine Level Overbearing System; it spontaneously propelled me to break through six levels!"
In this world, Daoism is revered, and cultivation is a source of pride.
Those who practice are universally known as "Daoists."
The levels of DAOISTS are as follows:
Daoist: Practitioners regulate internal Qi, forming nine Qi essences.
Dao Master: Merging the nine Qi essences, transmuting them into real Qi, thereby generating nine real Qi essences.
Dao Spirit: When the body encompasses nine real Qi essences, they coalesce and form a spirit Qi essence.
Daozong: When the nine spiritual elements merge and give birth to the Golden Pill, you can become a Daozong. One inch equals one level.
Daowang: The Golden Pill forms a silhouette, condensing into a Golden Lotus Throne, that's what a Daowang is. One zhang equals one level.
"I don't know about the Imperial Dominance Energy and the God-level Show-off Card, how about them?"
"Young Prince, people from Zhen Nan King Mansion are here. What do you think you should..."
The chief steward Fu from Guangling King Mansion arrived before Xiao Qian, speaking respectfully.
Opportunities always present when least expected.
If so, then first practice with the people from Zhen Nan King Mansion!
Xiao Qian's face turned cold:
"Bring them to the front hall, I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, young Prince."
The old steward Fu left.
"Humph! They want me to marry such a woman, absolutely impossible!"
...
Front hall of Guangling King Mansion.
Xiao Qian sat upon the throne.
Seated below was the steward of the Town South Prince's Mansion – Huangfu Wu.
"Xiao Qian, our prince has decided to get Lady Goyang to marry you."
"This is the marriage contract, you just need to stamp your handprint on it."
"Hurry up, I still need to go back and report to the prince!"
Huangfu Wu spoke arrogantly to Xiao Qian.
"Ding! Current situation of the host detected, task issued."
"Punish Huangfu Wu severely. Refuse to marry into the Town South Prince's Mansion!"
"Be aware, the system will assess the degree of your posturing and then issue rewards."
"The higher the pose, the richer the rewards!"
The sound of the system issuing a task rang in Xiao Qian's head.
The higher the pose, the richer the rewards!
Xiao Qian immediately perked up, and instead coldly stared at Huangfu Wu.
"Why should I stamp my handprint when I haven’t agreed yet?"
Huangfu Wu glanced at Xiao Qian with disdain.
"This is the command of our Town South Prince!"
"Do you dare to defy?"
Xiao Qian's countenance turned cold.
"The command of the King of Zhen Nan?"
"Do you, the King's Mansion of Zhen Nan, intend to instruct us, the King's Mansion of Guang Ling, how to act?"
Huangfu Wu turned to Xiao Qian:
"And what if we do?"
"Are you, a mere king's mansion of a different surname, intending to stand against our imperial family's King's Mansion?"
Xiao Qian rose, standing above and looking down on Huangfu Wu, the aura of an emperor sweeping out instantly.
Huangfu Wu, who was at the forefront, suddenly turned pale.
He incredulously stared at Xiao Qian.
The current Xiao Qian invoked a feeling of unattainable nobility in him.
Then there was Old Fu standing behind Xiao Qian.
Old Fu looked at Xiao Qian in surprise: Why did the young prince suddenly seem like a changed person...
"You are but a dog of the King's Mansion of Zhen Nan and the imperial family, you can't represent the King's Mansion of Zhen Nan, nor the imperial family."
"So, go back and tell the King of Zhen Nan that
Lady Gao Yang is licentious and has no regard for reputation."
"She is not worthy of entering the gate of my Xiao Family."
"Master Fu, see the guest out!"
Huangfu Wu glared at Xiao Qian with a gloomy face, his eyes full of fury.
Having been bestowed the royal surname due to his powerful strength by the Zhennan King, he has always considered himself as a part of the royal family.
What he hated the most was being called the Zhennan King's dog!
"You're courting death!"
Huangfu Wu, seething with anger, made his move, his energy fluctuating so intensely that it distorted the space within the grand hall.
The elderly Master Fu, who had been standing by Xiao Qian's side all along, his eyes turned icy cold, and the hand hidden under his long sleeve began to gather a terrifying energy...
"How dare you attack in my Guangling King's Mansion!"
"I think the one who's courting death is you!"
Seeing Huangfu Wu make a move, a faint smirk appeared at the corner of Xiao Qian's mouth.
He had intentionally provoked Huangfu Wu!
As long as Huangfu Wu made a move, he would justifiably suppress him!
"Activate god-level swagger card."
"Ding! The god-level swagger card is successfully activated, duration: half an hour! During the use of this card, the host will possess an indescribable great power."
The moment the system voice disappeared, Xiao Qian suddenly realized that his body was filled with boundless, terrifying energy.
Huh?
Elder Fu, who was about to make a move, suddenly froze.
He hurriedly raised his head to look at Xiao Qian.
"How can the aura around Young Prince be so terrifying?"
By this time, Huangfu Wu had appeared three feet in front of Xiao Qian.
The dried fingers suddenly burst with a much stronger gust of wind, directed at Xiao Qian's throat.
Elder Fu, in great haste, took action.
But the moment he was distracted, he missed the best time to save Xiao Qian.
All he could do was desperately watch Huangfu Wu's hand reach towards Xiao Qian.
"Die, little beast!"
Xiao Qian remained calm and composed, slowly raising his right hand.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed as turbulent energy exploded outward.
Elder Fu shivered with fright, not daring to look at Xiao Qian's fate.
"Impossible, how can you be so strong?"
A voice filled with fear sounded.
