"Get up… come with me. We're taking off."
Before Su Bei could react, Gu Yuena's arms wrapped around him and the next thing he knew, his body was lifting with her, soaring above the spring. Misty fog stretched behind them, and the vast Star Dou Forest spread out in all directions like a boundless green sea.
The feeling of flight for the first time left Su Bei speechless. Wind brushed across his cheeks, tangled with silver strands of Gu Yuena's hair, and the warmth of her smooth body pressed against him from chest to back. His breath hitched.
…This was suffocating in more ways than one.
Beautiful looks, flawless figure, overwhelming aura—whether as a girl or as a dragon, Gu Yuena was startlingly extraordinary.
But she wasn't just any woman. She was a dragon.
The Silver Dragon King herself. Inheritor of the Dragon God's legacy, master of the elements—fire, water, wind, earth, space, light, darkness—she held the combined powers of creation itself. Once, the Dragon God had ruled over gods and beasts alike. In the beginning, he was the supreme existence standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the divine kings. Gu Yuena carried part of that godhood.
So why… why in the world was she asking him to marry her?
No way. This was absurd. She was obviously interested in him at first sight!
But hey, first time meeting, jumping straight to marriage?!
At least a ten-year romance should come before the three-hundred-round battle between husband and wife!
Before Su Bei could protest further, the voice of his system rang merrily in his head:
[Congratulations to the host for being proposed to by the Dragon King Goddess Gu Yuena. Super Martial Soul Reward: The Dragon God's Gate obtained.]
[Strategy world goddesses. Achieve "Male God" status with them to unlock rewards.]
[Gu Yuena Strategy Line: successful progression will unlock Dragon God bloodline, soul bones, exclusive divine skills, protection rights, and even Dragon God Dharma blessings to safeguard the life of the transmigrator.]
[Additional Strategy Rewards: global music library, Chinese poetry library, legendary martial arts manuals.]
[Starter Pack Delivered: Innate Full Soul Power unlocked.]
[Current Gu Yuena Favorability: 30.]
[Appearance stat: ∞ (maxed).]
["Kiss and Carry" mission: not yet completed.]
[Talent development: incomplete.]
Su Bei froze, then laughed weakly. "…So Goldfinger was just late, not absent."
Tears burned at the corners of his eyes. Goodbye, cheating girlfriend. Goodbye, dog life of betrayal. Heaven had finally thrown him his golden cheat!
If destiny didn't birth Su Bei into this world—then who would protect the Douluo continent goddesses?
"Strategy goddesses, become a male god, live like a scumbag, and explode the Douluo world?" he whispered with manic red eyes. "Hah… perfect!"
The days of kneeling to reality like a dog were over.
With a system in one hand and a god-tier face in the other, Su Bei's confidence swelled high. What use was it living lowly when you could rule the stage?
But then reality bit in a strange way. With a handsome face like mine, aren't all these strategies just… too easy? Direct invincibility? Where's the challenge?
The system seemed to agree, providing tasks that required effort: talents to unlock, physical intimacy missions to progress.
"Fine," Su Bei muttered. "I was green in my last life. In this life—this is just a game, and damn, it feels good. The needle doesn't poke!"
Still, he had to think carefully about this particular Dragon King.
"So, system… If I accept her marriage proposal right now, I can start cashing in Dragon God rewards from the get-go? Is that it?"
[Warning: If you agree, romance progression will fast-forward directly to the wedding. All potential buildup rewards will be skipped.]
"And if I refuse?"
[Warning: Forced marriage executed by Gu Yuena. Sub-rewards sublimated.]
"WC! So either way I'm getting married?!"
He wanted to cry, but all he could do was smile bitterly.
Gu Yuena was no ordinary catch. Once she devoured the remaining fragment of the Golden Dragon King, she would once again rise as the complete, legendary Dragon God—the single most terrifying being in existence. If Bibi Dong was the "richest woman" of the mortal Douluo Continent, Gu Yuena was the top-tier elite heiress of the entire god realm. Marrying her was basically marrying a divine conglomerate!
This… required tact. He couldn't reject her too bluntly, or he might just get crushed until not even dust remained.
Landing somewhere deep in the forest's heart, in a secluded clearing with spring grass at Gu Yuena's feet, she still held Su Bei gently. Her cheeks glowed crimson.
For someone who despised humans, this closeness was alien to her—but Su Bei's warmth, his innocent smell, the way his body fit against hers—it made her dizzy. Her long lashes trembled as she smiled, her nose brushing his softly.
"Wait for me here. I'm going to announce our wedding to the soul beasts."
"What?!" Su Bei panicked, seizing her sleeve quickly. He forced a wobbly smile. "I—I'm still a little kid… Isn't a wedding this fast a little… much?"
Her lips curved more brightly.
"A child? Hah. That's not a problem. I can wait." She tucked a strand of silver hair behind her ear and gazed at him furtively. "Ten years, twenty years—it's but the blink of an eye for me."
As the Silver Dragon King with eternal lifespan, time for humans meant nothing to her.
Su Bei drew in a sharp breath. This was the exact kind of thing pretty privilege could buy. Just change your face, become devastatingly handsome, and suddenly even icy dragon queens are melting into puddles.
It was tempting. Too tempting. Tears almost leaked at the overwhelming affection. A goddess was begging him to be hers!
But Su Bei steadied himself, coughed twice for effect, and deployed his ultimate counter move:
"B-but I can't do that. What if I… can't satisfy you?"
It was a technique as dangerous as chopping one's own hand off in battle—hurting the enemy eight hundred while hurting oneself a thousand. A move no sane man would dare.
Gu Yuena blinked, tilting her head innocently. "That aspect? What aspect?"
Her naivety nearly killed him on the spot. This great Silver Dragon King, heir to Godhood, so focused on rebellion against the divine world, had neither experience nor understanding of human innuendo.
Yet today, she had fallen helplessly into the spellbinding aura of a face that broke racial barriers. For the first time in her countless years, affection burned for a mortal boy, stirring a primal, confusing need. She wanted to hold onto him—forever.
Marriage seemed the perfect way.
Seeing his hesitation, Gu Yuena soothingly stroked his hair and murmured, "Don't worry. I'll never dislike you."
"Pfft!"
Su Bei nearly coughed blood. She might as well have said, Don't worry. I'll play along in bed.
It poked holes straight through his pride like knives.
"H-Hmph!" He shoved her gently away, his little face flaring red. "Our progress is too fast! I can't accept marrying so quickly!"
His words ended in a squeaky crack, embarrassingly soft… like a teenage boy's voice breaking in the middle of emotional defiance.
Gu Yuena's smile fell. Her expression sharpened, frosted with cold majesty.
Her purple eyes gleamed with draconic command as she declared proudly, "Hmph! It is not up to you. I'm marrying you whether you accept or not!"
"You will become my husband—my child's adoptive father!"
In that instant, Su Bei's knees lost all strength and he collapsed right into her arms again.
…Warm. Soft. Fragrant.
Damn it… I can't breathe.
As he drifted into unconsciousness, one last thought burned through his swirling haze:
As expected of the Dragon God's heir—the queen of shifting faces—Gu Yuena's moods flipped faster than lightning.
