Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Yeah, Yeah, Everything You Say Is Right

Su Wan was sixteen years old with a Cultivation level at the High Tier Eighth Grade. Even among top-tier aristocratic families, she was by no means weak. For a girl, such strength stood out even more. Coupled with her naturally enchanting and charming appearance, she was incredibly famous and dazzling within the aristocratic circles.

[Even a roadside foxtail lily has its spring, let alone you, who became famous in the Jade Capital because of Lin Siyao. Although people generally do not recognize your Martial Dao talent, quite a few acknowledge your deep and devoted love. As a result, many ignorant young girls have been moved, and Su Wan is at the top of the list.]

[Opportunity has arrived.]

[Task Issued:

Option One: Accept Su Wan and begin a brand new path of counterattack. Reward: A random grand gift bag, which may contain a peerless talent.

Option Two: Reject Su Wan and stick to your own path of counterattack. Reward: 10 points of Root Bone.]

[Please make your choice now.]

This choice was a bit unreliable, even going against human nature. He was currently Lin Siyao’s fiancé, and their relationship was going very well. However, the system’s timeline was set twenty-five years in the future...

"Sorry, I’m not interested," Lu Yuan said, shaking his head.

"You..." Su Wan’s breath hitched. "You’re just too afraid, aren’t you? You know I’m from the Su Family and you realize you can’t compare to me, so..."

Standing nearby, Mu Lingche turned his head away. Even he didn’t dare compete with Lu Yuan in Archery Skill. He wondered what on earth Sister Wan was thinking.

"Right, right, whatever you say." Lu Yuan nodded hastily in agreement. There was no need to argue with a girl. A truly confident person never cared about the opinions of outsiders.

"You..." Su Wan was genuinely angry now. It was the first time she had ever been brushed off so casually by a man.

"Siyao, get on." Lu Yuan unhitched the horse from the carriage, threw on a saddle, and helped Lin Siyao mount. He then handed her a Light Bow and a quiver of arrows. "Let’s go. Siheng has run quite far." He vaulted onto his own horse.

"Mhm." Lin Siyao nodded.

"Yah!" The two of them quickly rode off.

"Look at him, Lingyan!" Su Wan complained, fuming with anger.

"Didn’t you know he’s a stubborn mule? And a particularly petty one at that!" Mu Lingyan joked.

Su Wan was most infuriated by the fact that from beginning to end, Lu Yuan had never even taken a serious look at her. He only had eyes for his Sister Lin.

"Let’s go." Mu Lingyan turned her horse around. Going too far was as bad as falling short. Everything had to be done gradually—step by step, taking it slow.

"I’m going to play by myself." Mu Lingche rode away with his guards.

"I’m going off on my own too." Su Wan’s eyes darted around as she picked a direction.

Mu Lingyan looked around, feeling exceptionally unamused today. Excellent, very excellent! She decided she would just have to hunt down a few more prey.

[Congratulations to the host for making a wise choice. You have successfully accepted and bound to Su Wan, opening a brand new path of counterattack.]

[From now on, whenever Su Wan’s Cultivation improves, you will receive a tenfold feedback reward. When Su Wan gains Martial Dao experience, you will receive a tenfold Martial Dao experience feedback.]

[You can also obtain rewards by helping Su Wan improve.]

[Furthermore, by raising your intimacy level with Su Wan, you can unlock higher multiplier rewards, up to a maximum critical hit of ten thousand times.]

[Currently, your intimacy level with Su Wan is 30, which is very low. Please work hard, host.]

[Note: Intimacy level will fluctuate with emotional changes; it can increase or decrease.]

Lu Yuan stared blankly at the system notifications. What was going on? He had clearly rejected the option, yet the system had accepted and bound her to him anyway? What kind of nonsense was this?

Still, the rewards were indeed generous. Tenfold feedback, ten-thousand-fold critical hits... With just a tiny bit of investment, he could reap massive rewards. It was enough to make anyone tempted, even against their better judgment.

"This is a massive test of my Dao heart!" Lu Yuan thought. "Wait, there’s also a grand gift bag!"

He mentally clicked on it.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a peerless musical talent—Sound Dao Prodigy.]

"Music..." Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at the description.

[1. Instant mastery of basic music theory, self-taught without a master.]

[2. Hearing multiplied by 10, auditory sensitivity multiplied by 100.]

[3. Automatic initiation into sound-based martial arts and techniques; experience multiplied by 10.]

[4. Ability to resonate with heaven and earth through music, comprehending the power of the world.]

[5. ...]

At first, Lu Yuan had thought a musical talent would be somewhat useless, but to his surprise, every single perk was incredibly desirable. Each one held massive potential and endless applications. In an instant, Lu Yuan felt as though he had transformed into a true prodigy. A Sound Dao Prodigy was still a prodigy!

"Looks like I’ll have to learn to play the zither when I get back," he thought.

"Brother Yuan..." Lin Siyao called out.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?" Lu Yuan looked over at her.

"N-nothing. Aman is just up ahead," Lin Siyao said, pointing forward.

Up ahead, Lin Siheng was currently facing off against a sounder of wild boars. It was a massive group of thirty to forty boars. The largest among them, an enormous alpha male, stood over four feet tall at the shoulder and weighed at least seven to eight hundred pounds. Its tusks were over half a foot long, giving it an incredibly ferocious appearance. Even the horses balked at the sight, refusing to step any closer.

"Hehe." Lin Siheng, however, was visibly thrilled. He had never been afraid of such animals. Moreover, he locked his sights squarely on the largest one. If he was going to fight, he would fight the biggest—that was the only way to prove his strength.

"I’m going to shoot you dead!" Lin Siheng instantly drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

SWISH!

The arrow shot forward, striking the giant boar dead center on the head. However, it simply bounced off, failing to pierce even the slightest bit of skin.

"Damn it, what a garbage bow!" Lin Siheng furiously hurled the weapon away. It only had a fifty-pound draw weight. Was this a toy meant for a toddler?

SNORT!

The massive boar was instantly enraged. Digging its hooves into the dirt, it charged straight at Lin Siheng. Today, it was going to kill and devour this tiny human!

"Bring it on!" Lin Siheng clenched his fists and charged right back at it. "Take this!"

BANG!

One large, one small—the two collided head-on. Lin Siheng was instantly launched over a dozen feet into the air, flying backwards for nearly thirty feet.

Meanwhile, the giant boar was also knocked off balance. It shook its head, struck by a wave of dizziness. What exactly had it just rammed into? A solid block of iron?

In truth, had Lin Siheng not been lacking in combat experience, the giant boar’s skull would have already burst open. After all, a single punch from Lin Siheng packed over a thousand pounds of force, and the boar’s skull simply wasn’t that sturdy.

Nevertheless, the boar felt a surge of fear. Seeing Lin Siheng climb to his feet completely unscathed, it immediately turned tail and tried to flee.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Lin Siheng dashed after it, swift as a cheetah. He caught up in mere seconds, then leaped into the air, landing squarely onto the boar’s back. He gripped its steel-needle-like bristles tightly with both hands.

"Hahaha! You big dumb pig, let’s see where you can run now!

"From now on, you’re going to be my mount! We’ll run and hunt all over these woods!

"Yah!" Lin Siheng kicked his feet lightly against the beast’s belly.

OINK! OINK!

Wild boars were naturally ferocious beasts; how could one ever allow itself to be ridden by a human? It immediately broke into a frantic sprint, bucking wildly and even slamming itself against the trees.

THUD! THUD!

CRASH! CRASH!

But it was no use. It couldn’t throw Lin Siheng off. It was as if he had become a master equestrian, permanently welded to the boar’s back.

"Yah! Yah!"

"Hahaha!"

"This is awesome! So awesome!"

One boy and one boar began a mad dash through the forest. As for the sows and piglets, some followed closely behind, while others trailed a bit further back.
