Meng Hao sat with his back resting against the thick trunk of a spiritwood tree. Shafts of sunlight streamed through the gaps in the high canopy, painting golden patterns across the forest floor. A breeze passed by, rustling leaves above, while faint beast calls echoed in the distance.
The stillness was broken by a crisp, familiar sound.
Ding!
[Ding. It has been detected that the host's Favorability Level in the eyes of a Daughter of Luck has reached: ★★★ (Three-Star Level).]
[Favorability Levels:]
★☆☆☆☆ – Normal Friend
★★☆☆☆ – Close Friend
★★★☆☆ – Best Friends or Couple; the other side is ready to take the relationship to a new level
★★★★☆ – The other party loves you more than anyone else in the world
★★★★★ – The other party can do anything for you; at your single order, they could go against the heavens. At this stage, they have lost their sanity and are completely obsessed with you.
Negative Stars – Enemy
[You may now access Li Yao's status. Would you like to open her panel?]
Meng Hao blinked in surprise, then leaned back with a slightly raised brow.
"So… this system does have some decent features," he muttered, a slight grin appearing on his face. "Not as bad as I thought."
Raising a hand lazily, he spoke aloud. "Open Li Yao panel."
The world before him dimmed slightly as an invisible screen shimmered into view in front of his eyes.
[Name: Li Yao]
[Age: 21]
[Cultivation: 6th Level of Qi Gathering Realm]
[Luck: Blue Grade]
[Charm: 150 (Average Human Charm: 100)]
[Favorability Toward Host: ★★★]
(Somewhat lustful toward you; wants to make you her first husband and future harem member)
[Cheat Ability: Possesses the soul of a Void Refining Realm cultivator inside her ring.]
[Artifact: Right-hand middle finger ring – Contains the remnant soul of her master, Chang Yue.]
A strange expression passed across Meng Hao's face as he scanned the details. The forest air seemed to grow a little warmer.
"...She wants to make me... her harem member?" he muttered, eyebrows twitching.
His fingers lightly tapped the tree bark behind him as he stared into the distance with narrowed eyes.
"What the hell is wrong with this girl? I'm supposed to be the man! The hunter! And now I'm being claimed as someone's first husband… part of her harem?"
A bold idea crossed his mind as his eyes flicked toward her ring in the mental image.
"If I stole her ring… could I become the son of luck?"
But as expected—
Ding!
[Host, it is not possible to become a Son of Luck by stealing Li Yao's ring.]
[However, why aim to become a mere Son of Luck when you have this system?]
[This MILF Hunter System is far superior to any Daughter of Luck's cheat. Believe me, Host—this system will help you become the strongest under heaven and earth. You will steal all the MILFs of the heavens and earth. None shall escape you!]
Meng Hao rolled his eyes at the sheer shamelessness of his so-called "cheat."
He muttered under his breath, "...This system is completely unreliable."
Just as he was beginning to relax again, basking in the faint sunlight with a mixture of amusement and resignation, he suddenly heard it—
Soft footsteps.
Crunch. Crunch.
The sound of movement through the underbrush. Delicate, yet steady. A silhouette was drawing near through the trees.
Meng Hao's eyes narrowed, his body tensing instinctively as he slowly turned his head in the direction of the sound.
