665: The choice made Ye Chenxiao doubt his life

“BBB, I choose B!”

Ye Chenxiao had learned a bloody lesson before. He chose A and was beaten like a dog by Luo Li.

The reward back then was just a powerful seventh-tier Dao Artifact, but now it’s directly a coffin.

If he hesitated for even a second, he would be a fool.

As for why he didn't choose C, Ye Chenxiao just wanted to curse the damn System for being inhumane, using this to test a cadre.

He was, after all, a Disciple of the Star Saint Mother, a peerless Prodigy famous throughout the Origin Continent, with the bearing of a Celestial.

If he chose C, how could he face anyone in the future?

Losing face was secondary; the main thing was that he couldn't bring shame to the Star Saint Mother and the Star Divine Cult.

Great powers valued their reputation the most; the Star Saint Mother and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady had been fighting to this day just to save face.

It was conceivable that if he really chose C, he would be the disgrace of the Star Divine Cult, and the Star Saint Mother would not let him off.

“Strange…”

Seeing Ye Chenxiao's calm expression, Gu Qing frowned secretly, finding Ye Chenxiao a little odd.

Although Luo Li said nothing, her presence here was already a direct challenge, yet Ye Chenxiao showed no reaction at all. This wasn't like a protagonist.

Even if he had lost to Luo Li, he shouldn't be so timid. If he couldn't win, he could always propose a three-year pact.

Or he should have directly used some so-called petty trick to trap Luo Li.

At the very least, he should have gained some verbal advantage.

After all, Ye Chenxiao was a Disciple of the Star Saint Mother, with an invincible background, so he shouldn't have to fear anything.

Thinking this, Gu Qing decided to probe him and said, “Junior Sister, is this your defeated opponent? I can’t tell at all that he was defeated by you.”

Luo Li was startled. Was mocking Ye Chenxiao like this not going to require teaming up with him to test his true strength?

She said indifferently, “He is indeed my defeated opponent, but he does have some strength.”

No matter what Gu Qing wanted to do, she would simply cooperate.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxiao's face darkened a bit, but he dared not retort. He could only continue to stand in the Void Realm with his hands behind his back, looking aloof and ethereal.

Unfortunately, the tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease.

He was willing to be a shrinking turtle, but Gu Qing wouldn't give him the chance, staring at him with sharp eyes.

If Ye Chenxiao was an unyielding protagonist, then they would force a team-up. If he was a pushover, then they would treat him as an underling.

“Ding-dong!”

“The Jade Goddess is extremely displeased with your aloof attitude and wishes to stand up for her good sister Luo Li, wanting to teach you a lesson.”

“The host has triggered the following choices.”

“Choice A: You are brimming with confidence, wishing to challenge your superior and fight the Jade Goddess, but your Physical Body is instantly shattered by her single move. Reward: A tenth-level Dao Fruit.”

“Choice B: You smile wickedly and confidently, saying, ‘Little girl, are you trying to get my attention?’ You might be slapped to death by the Jade Goddess. Reward: A ninth-tier Dao Artifact coffin.”

“Choice C: Bow your head and admit your mistake, acknowledging that you are inferior and were defeated by Luo Li. You are convinced. Reward: None.”

Ye Chenxiao was dumbfounded after reading the System's choices.

Jade Goddess?

This young man, who was even more handsome than him, was a woman?

“Damn System, tell me clearly, is he a man or a woman?” Ye Chenxiao couldn't believe it, couldn't imagine that a man handsomer than him was actually a woman.

“None of these are important. Please make your choice as soon as possible, Host.”

“…”

Ye Chenxiao fell silent.

Ye Chenxiao's eyelids twitched wildly.

Although the damn System was despicable, it had never been wrong.

So, this Jade, who appeared out of nowhere, really possessed a Divine Ability that could instantly kill him?!

Are you kidding me?

Ye Chenxiao doubted life, unable to believe it.

He didn't believe anyone could slap him to death in the same Realm.

How could such a powerful person exist in the world?

One must know, he was the strongest Sword Cultivator, and since his debut, he had swept all before him, only suffering a crushing defeat at Luo Li's hands.

But even then, he had fought Luo Li for several years before being defeated.

Now, suddenly, an even more Heaven-Defying person appeared, and he couldn't even withstand one move from Jade?!

Ye Chenxiao couldn't comprehend how Heaven-Defying Jade's combat power was, but it was very strong.

He should not be an opponent.

He would endure it for now.

Thinking this, Ye Chenxiao silently chose C, cupped his hands to Luo Li, and said calmly, “It is I, Ye, who am inferior. I was defeated by the Goddess Luo Li, and I am convinced.”

Gu Qing was stunned, almost thinking he had mistaken the person. Ye Chenxiao was not a protagonist at all.

He used his Dao Eye to check Ye Chenxiao's Luck and destiny; he was indeed a Son of Destiny.

And his Luck was vast and boundless, reaching 150 million.

But something wasn't right.

Just by looking at Ye Chenxiao's appearance, one would know this was a protagonist with a System, capable of challenging anything.

Why was he so timid?

Luo Li also suspected whether Ye Chenxiao had been subjected to Possession.

One must know, before she defeated him, Ye Chenxiao had an aloof demeanor, viewing all living beings as insignificant.

After being defeated by her, Ye Chenxiao still maintained his unyielding attitude, vowing to seek revenge on her.

Luo Li was not surprised by this at all.

She had encountered so many favored children of the Heavenly Dao; even if they were as weak as ants, even if the lives of their entire clan were decided by her words, the favored children of the Heavenly Dao remained unyielding and swore not to bow down.

Thinking this, Luo Li secretly shook her head.

A favored child of the Heavenly Dao could not be subjected to Possession; if they were, they would no longer be a favored child of the Heavenly Dao.

Then there was only one possibility.

Gu Qing was too strong.

Even someone as arrogant as a favored child of the Heavenly Dao had to bend their proud bones and lower their head.

“Senior Brother is too amazing, suppressing all enemies…” Luo Li looked at Gu Qing with adoring beautiful eyes.

“You're too kind, too kind.”

Gu Qing reacted and immediately said with a pleasant expression, “As the saying goes, we meet by fighting. From now on, you are my friend, Yu Qing.”

“Death Canyon is extremely perilous. You should team up with me. With me covering you, I can guarantee your safety.”

“?”

Ye Chenxiao's face was full of question marks.

One second he was hostile, the next he wanted to protect him.

Was there something wrong with this person's brain?

“Ding-dong! The host has triggered the following choices.”

“Choice A: You smile wickedly and confidently, believing this must be a method by the Jade Goddess to attract you. You coldly refuse, stating, ‘My life's ambition lies in the Great Dao; beauties are but painted skeletons.’ You anger the Jade Goddess and might be slapped to death. Reward: A coffin.”

“Choice B: You politely refuse, declining the Jade Goddess's kind offer, stating directly that you do not like to team up with others. You successfully ignite the Jade Goddess's wrath and might be forcefully suppressed. Reward: An Innate Supreme Treasure.”

“Choice C: You happily agree and serve diligently, taking the lead in venturing into dangerous places. Reward: None.”

Seeing the Innate Supreme Treasure, Ye Chenxiao's breathing quickened. To this day, he had only obtained one Innate Supreme Treasure.

It was precisely because of this Innate Supreme Treasure that he had defeated countless powerful enemies and made rapid progress in his cultivation.

If he obtained another one, his strength would surely undergo a qualitative leap.

However, upon seeing the consequences of Choice B, Ye Chenxiao was numb.

The Supreme Treasure was right before his eyes, within reach, yet he couldn't obtain it.

This caused Ye Chenxiao's calm expression to crack, and he felt incredibly frantic in his heart.

Seeing Choice C, Ye Chenxiao had an impulse to punch and shatter the entire world.

Damn it, this was simply too much bullying.

He was an aloof Saint, and a Disciple of the Star Saint Mother, yet he was being asked to be an underling for his enemy.

The damn System was simply inhumane.
