Tonight was the worst night for Chen Duan, who had been fired from his job that afternoon.
At the age of 40, he was not only an old bachelor, but also an unemployed man living a hand-to-mouth existence.
In his small apartment, which was only 20 square meters in size, there wasn't much furniture. Just a single mattress, a set of sofas, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Everything was arranged in one room, separated by thin partitions.
Chen Duan sat on the sofa with several empty beer bottles. His room was now messy and reeked of alcohol. Anyone who saw him would surely feel uncomfortable.
"If only an angel would descend from the sky, maybe my life wouldn't be this bad."
Chen Duan gulped down another bottle of beer in his hand. His words began to be garbled and unclear. He spoke between consciousness and unconsciousness.
"Huwa... what woman would want to marry a 40-year-old poor man? God... you are biased. You are really unfair to me!"
Chen Duan pointed at the worn ceiling while cursing and lamenting his unfortunate fate.
BLaaarrrr... .
Suddenly, there was a loud clap of thunder. Even though the night sky was clear and there were no signs of rain.
From the ceiling of the room, a figure suddenly appeared wearing a white ghost costume with a split chest. Chen Duan, who was still half-conscious, saw clearly two soft and tempting melons.
"Ah... this is what life is all about,"
Chen Duan's nose began to bleed. He smiled foolishly.
The beautiful woman in white fell on top of Chen Duan's body with her two soft melons right above his face.
His eyes widened. He, who had been half-floating, was now fully conscious.
"Damn! This isn't a dream?"
Chen Duan patted the woman's buttocks, and his lips smiled widely. "Soft... very supple. Is this what a woman's buttocks are like?" he muttered.
Slap!
Chen Duan's face was slapped hard, causing a loud sound.
"Are you crazy?" Chen Duan cursed. He held his cheek, which felt hot. The woman's slap hurt, apparently.
"You perverted bastard!"
The woman pushed Chen Duan's body and got off him.
She took a few steps back and drew a sword from its sheath that suddenly appeared in her hand.
The sword was quickly swung towards Chen Duan's neck.
Suddenly, Chen Duan froze, his body tense. If he moved even slightly, his head might be severed from his body.
"C-calm down, Lady," Chen Duan stammered.
Confused. That was how the woman felt. She looked around. And she realized that she was somewhere else.
"Where is this?"
Chen Duan slowly moved the sword away from his neck. "Calm down, Lady. You are now in my apartment."
"Apartment? What's that? Explain clearly!" The woman frowned. She pointed her sword at Chen Duan's neck again.
"Oh my god... an apartment is an apartment. It's a type of residence here. Are you a ghost or something? How did you suddenly appear from up there?" Chen Duan asked, pointing at the ceiling of his house.
The woman saw that Chen Duan was annoyed and didn't look like an enemy who was chasing her, so she withdrew her sword.
She adjusted her posture to be more gentle and formal. She bowed slightly with her hands clasped in front of her chest, typical of how Chinese people used to greet each other in the old days.
"Greetings, Mr. Chen Duan. I am Xue Yinlan from the Lingyun Sect. I apologize for my rudeness. I thought—"
"You think I'm some scoundrel who's after you?" Chen Duan sneered.
His lips may have sneered, but his eyes couldn't help but notice the two fresh melons on Yinlan's chest, and immediately his throat felt dry.
'Shit! That's too tempting for an old bachelor like me,' he thought to himself.
As Chen Duan's focus shifted, time suddenly seemed to stop. The breeze and air that had been gently blowing through the window seemed to freeze.
Soon, a voice entered his mind, and a transparent screen somehow appeared floating in the air right in front of him.
DING!
[Detected immortal single human beginning to experience worldly pleasures.]
[System binding with host.]
"System?" Chen Duan's eyes lit up. "Is this the system that often appears in those popular short dramas?"
9... 8... 7... ... 3... 2... 1...
[Binding successful.]
[The heavenly pleasure system has successfully bonded with the host.]
DING!
[The host touched a woman's chest and buttocks for the first time, deeply moving the system. The system rewards the host with 1 bottle of body rejuvenation pills.]
Soon, a small bottle of body rejuvenation pills appeared in Chen Duan's hand.
At first glance, the bottle looked expensive and convincing.
"What are the benefits of body rejuvenation pills? Can they make me look younger?"
[Of course. Body rejuvenation pills are useful for cultivators to prolong their lives and increase their physical strength. For ordinary humans, they are useful for making the skin firmer and more elastic. Host... the system will not disappoint your dream of becoming a handsome man surrounded by women.]
Chen Duan smirked. "With the system supporting me, I—Chen Duan—will definitely change my bad luck and demand justice from God."
