# Chapter 3: So You’ve Got Your Eye on Me?
==============================
【Ding! You have opened “Five Thousand Years of Asking the Way.” The system will automatically deduct 2000 Spirit Coins from your account.】
【I am your personal assistant Lin Lin. What do you need?】
“3 seconds! I want ALL the info on the Great King of the Split Land!”
“Wait a minute! I remember the last item I opened only cost 1000 Spirit Coins. Why the sudden price hike?”
【Oh, I forgot to mention! Each time you use an item, the entrance fee increases by 1000 Spirit Coins.】
……
What a money-grubbing item! Lin Nan cursed under her breath.
She quickly set Little Musashi to system custody and pulled her consciousness back to her main body.
Faced with the predicament in Small Cave Heaven, if she didn’t take action, Little Musashi and Cold Little Rain would soon find themselves in the clutches of Fu Yetian and that Bull Head.
As a card character, Little Musashi could disappear anytime,
But unfortunately, Cold Little Rain was bound to face something unpleasant with the Bull Head.
Though she wasn’t sure if the game system would suddenly show mercy and skip this “18+” scene,
given that Cold Little Rain had previously managed to disrobe and bathe (players can’t normally undress or even make suggestive moves), Lin Nan felt a twinge of danger.
What if the system just lets things unfold, and the player’s experience feels just like in reality? Wouldn’t that mean Cold Little Rain would suffer as if it was real life?
But oddly, players had restrictions when it came to self-harm,
If Lin Nan’s fears became reality, even if she had no part in the lead-up to the event, she’d still feel guilty about it.
So, no matter what, she had to give it a shot.
If all else fails, she would just chop Cold Little Rain down with one swift slice and let her soul return to the spawn point.
After all, even without a samurai sword, Little Musashi had the skills to take down foes with her bare hands.
But still, resorting to such measures would be a shame for the prestige of Extermination of Immortals, and she’d only do it as a last resort.
【Please pay 10,000 Spirit Coins.】
……
Did I just read that right? 10,000 Spirit Coins?
The last time I checked on Luo Ying, it cost me 1000 Spirit Coins. Why the heck is it suddenly 10,000 for a measly Great King of the Split Land? Are you robbing me?
【This item will auto-price based on your financial situation and the circumstances you face. Would you like to check?】
Lin Nan nearly spewed bl**d.
No wonder this is a black iron-level item; it seems useful, but the cost is just way too harsh.
It feels like no matter how many Spirit Coins she earns, half of them will be snatched away in a heartbeat.
If it weren’t for the dire situation, she wouldn’t even think about using this money-sucking contraption.
She swore never to activate that damned item lightly again. Otherwise, she’d be dead of rage from “Lin Lin” one day.
After grudgingly handing over 10,000 Spirit Coins—her heart bleeding—it was finally time to get the “Great King of the Split Land” manual.
If only it was worth the price…
Let’s just say it’s a 10,000 Spirit Coin gamble for a chance to turn things around.
Lin Nan skimmed through the manual, locking onto several key points before quickly returning to the character card.
Given the system’s tendency for negligence, she was not about to leave Little Musashi long in a valley teeming with people.
As soon as her consciousness appeared in Little Musashi, she noticed almost everyone’s gaze was suddenly fixed on her.
What in the world?
What did I do?
Why is there a mountain of food piled up in front of me?
She glanced down and gasped.
In less than ten minutes, the damned system had commanded Little Musashi to load up a giant plate filled to the brim with food,
and her cheeks were stuffed like a chipmunk’s.
She hurriedly returned the untouched dishes back to the table and awkwardly made her way back to Cold Little Rain’s side.
“No matter how I tried to stop you… You just raised a toast to that Bull Head…”
Cold Little Rain’s voice quivered suddenly.
It was then that Little Musashi noticed that the Great King of the Split Land had somehow appeared next to her, his gaze brimming with appreciation.
“You’re different from other human women. Simple and straightforward, no pretensions. Not bad, my type.”
Little Musashi, “……”
What does that mean? A confession?
d*mn it, no way will I fall for a Bull Head no matter how blind I am.
The Great King must’ve noticed her dodging gaze as he clapped his hands.
Two little demons appeared carrying a golden box, instantly grabbing everyone’s attention.
With a “thud,” even though the box was placed carefully on the ground, it still trembled slightly, indicating its weight.
The Great King bent down personally and lifted a corner of the box.
Even though it was daytime, the treasures glimmering from inside made the onlookers gasp in awe.
This heavy box was filled to the brim with priceless jewels.
Every woman’s eyes went wide, wishing she could take Little Musashi’s place as the Bull Head’s beloved.
“This is for you, come with me,” the Great King said.
Little Musashi didn’t know what expression to make and could only muster an awkward one.
That damned system custody, could you not flirt with people? And you really went and flirted with the Bull Head’s heart!
“Uh…”
Seeing Little Musashi hesitate,
The Great King suddenly stroked his bull horns, enlightenment flashing in his eyes,
“Oh, I see! You’re scared of our monster face, huh?”
“No worries!”
In an instant, the Bull Head vanished, replaced by the rugged face of a man.
“How about this?”
Though faintly retaining the Bull Head’s outline, it was definitely a human face now.
“The Great King is so sincere. This gesture will surely win over the beauties,” Fu Yetian chimed in, throwing in his two cents.
At this moment, Little Musashi, a prisoner of the Ji Shen, suddenly caught wind of Fu Yetian’s hint.
She better step up and embrace the moment,
Otherwise, she’ll be the one drinking the punishment wine.
For the sake of the future plan, Little Musashi forced a smile, “Your Highness values me so deeply; I’m truly overwhelmed.”
“Ha ha! No need to feel overwhelmed! Rest assured, follow me closely, and I’ll never shortchange you.”
The Great King turned his gaze to Cold Little Rain,
Though her looks were decent, compared to Little Musashi, she lacked a certain charm,
But since both ladies were provided by Fu Yetian, he would gladly take them.
After all, handing such beauties over to his burly subordinates, who knows how they’d be treated?
As the long table’s feast dwindled down to scraps, Fu Yetian could tell that the big demons had already eaten their fill and were just waiting for the next move.
“Clap… Clap…”
Fu Yetian clapped his hands, and the whole place fell silent.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to choose. The rooms have been arranged, and have fun.”
As soon as he finished speaking, those big demons pounced on the women like hungry tigers, grasping their previously chosen targets.
Despite having mentally prepared for this, being snatched away like food still elicited screams of fear from them.
The harmonious atmosphere of the banquet evaporated in an instant.
The Great King wasn’t as rough; he politely extended his hand in a welcoming gesture.
Little Musashi, “……”
Cold Little Rain, “……”
