Ch47 - I'm Here

That night, Chen You had a dream.

In the dream, two big birds chased him as he rushed into the jungle in a panic, howling as he ran. The two huge birds flapped their wings and flew over his head before stopping in front of him. Suddenly, they bent their heads and weakly dropped to the ground.

Chen You woke with a start, What a terrible dream.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked the system, “This world isn’t divided between men and women, it’s divided into male and female genders. I should be a male, ba.”

System, “You are a female.”

Chen You’s face soured, Then are you playing me? “Don’t all males have two pendants?”

“No,” the system replied, “Only you have it, others do not.”

Chen You, “…” This sensation of being one-of-a-kind, why is that I can’t feel even a bit happy?

The world is normal, only I am abnormal. Ha. Ha.

He was depressed for a while, then swallowed down the mouthful of blood in his throat. “I don’t have the bloodline of dragons, do I?” Am I right or am I right? I have two Ding Dings. I should be right. The descendant of dragons is doomed to bear a heavy burden that others cannot bear.

System, “You aren’t even a snake.”

“…” Chen You did not give up, “Then what am I?”

System, “A monster.”

“Huh, ah, I don’t believe it,” Chen You mumbled to himself in the tone of a learned man, “I think if I’m not a dragon, I should at least be a snake.”

He rolled up his sleeve and inspected his arm. It was likely that he would start shedding his skin any day now. He rubbed his head, wondering if he would wake up one day with a horn growing out.

Sure enough, people should have the ability to amuse themselves.

Chen You moved his legs, and the two pendants followed his movements. Honestly, they were a bit heavy and in the way.

He didn’t want to think about them, but he couldn’t get rid of them; he guessed that removal would be extremely painful.

“44, in the next world, I don’t want a pendant.”

System, “What did you say?”

Chen You, ah ha-ha, “Did I say something? No ah, just now, I didn’t say anything.”

Chen You stood up and the fruit in his arms fell to the ground. Last night, hard up for food, he had saved some fruit to eat for breakfast in the morning.

This thin, small body was already malnourished. If he didn’t eat breakfast, he might faint within minutes.

At this time, a pair of eyes from across the way fell directly onto the fruit.

The prince was still mortal. After skipping two meals, he was hungry.

But he had a lofty and arrogant character, so he did not open his mouth and simply waited for an offering.

Chen You pretended not to see, grabbed the fruit, freely wiped it and ate it with a loud crunching sound.

Bai Xue’s face turned green and then red. He swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and felt that it was even more intolerable.

This ugly monster didn’t know how to be afraid or how to come and flatter him. It must really be stupid.

Chen You leaned against the iron bars. Truly, after last night, nothing could scare him anymore.

However, thinking it over, in this world he didn’t have to worry about which family raised a big bird. Not only did he already have one, but it was actually a beautiful pair of twin brothers.

When he thought about it like this, it seemed pretty good?

Chen You retracted the curved up corners of his mouth. What a scary thought, I must be poisoned.

“My special skills, why don’t I feel them yet?”

System, “It’s not time.”

Chen You curiously asked, “What kind is it?”

System, “Eating-related.”

Chen You thought for a bit and said, “Surely it isn’t that I am a bottomless pit?”

The system was silent for a moment, “Just about.”

Chen You was dissatisfied, “Why isn’t it a skill with force? I want to walk through walls, escape across the land, travel over long distances, read minds, turn invisible, have an invulnerable body, and gain immortality.”

System, “Wake up.”

Chen You’s lips curled up, I want you to take care of me, so I don’t know how to wake up.

A noise entered his ears. He turned his head and saw Bai Xue rubbing his wrists as an uncomfortable sound left his mouth. It seemed like he had twisted something.

Last night was too dark, and he had been shocked by his big pendants. Chen You hadn’t taken a good look at the young man’s face. Seeing it now, it wasn’t that great. If it was placed in the film and television industry among the other fresh meat, it would definitely be buried.

A face like this could not be known as the most beautiful in their clan; he refused to accept it.

“Young master, do you need me to lend you a hand?”

Bai Xue’s face was full of disgust, his eyes filled with the four words, “You think you’re qualified?”

Chen You raised his eyebrows, Oh-ho, your temper is very big, Prince Bai Xue. I’m telling you, this time you have thoroughly lost this little helper.

In the future, you’ll have to look after yourself.

It wasn’t long before the military man from the previous night came again. This time it wasn’t to bring food, it was to bring Chen You and Bai Xue out.

Passing through the damp and gloomy corridor, Chen You finally saw the light of day.

Looking around, he saw many strong, young soldiers standing row by row, marching uniformly and sharply saluting.

Chen You sighed, So handsome, ah.

He couldn’t help but recall his own camouflage uniform, issued by the military training department at his university. He had placed it at the bottom of his wardrobe. Like the vast majority of young men, he’d had some dreams of becoming a soldier.

“Go!”

Chen You returned to his senses and kept up with the rest of the troops. He and Bai Xue were brought inside a spacious, well-lit hall.

As soon as they entered, a multitude of gazes were cast upon them, followed by a host of unbridled criticism.

Some said that the number one beauty of the Bai clan was, unexpectedly, a dwarf so fragile he wouldn’t be able to withstand a gust of wind. At a glance, one could tell that he was not fully developed. Some people mutually teased each other; one asked if the other wanted the beauty, the other said he didn’t want and returned the question, playfully kicking the ball back and forth.

Others said that the dwarf must be placed next to the ugliest person, or he would lose his title as the number one beauty.

Bai Xue clenched his fist, his expression ashamed and resentful.

Humiliated in front of his clansmen, especially the ugliest one that he himself couldn’t bear to look at, he felt like dying.

In contrast, Chen You was calm the entire time because he had been clever enough to ask the system to block his hearing in advance.

This group of people were all officials and bigwigs; though their mouths spewed out dung, they could not be asked to eat their words.

Chen You’s face served as a foil to this group of handsome young men. Not to mention, unless they were all blind, it was impossible not to have someone spit out some criticism.

In fact, Chen You thought, they came to get a glimpse of how ugly the ugliest person is. Now that they are looking, they can feel like they haven’t come in vain.

When one is ugly, ridicule is inevitable. Some said that when the lights are off, everyone feels the same. Others said that they could take him home to drive away ghosts.

This was all that was audible; he was unable to hear anything more. Bai Xue tilted his head to look over and instantly revealed a disbelieving expression, astonished by the ugly monster’s tough mentality.

The laughter abruptly stopped as three people crossed the threshold to enter the room. The distance between them indicated that one was a superior and the other two were subordinates.

The one in the lead was a man in a white military uniform with a medal on his shoulder. Tall, powerful, and angular, he vividly displayed the words “the temptation of a man in uniform.”

Chen You’s view was unobstructed, so he had a clear view.

This newcomer’s level of appearance tossed a thousand and eight hundred Bai Xue’s into the streets. Standing next to him would make one feel defeated.

With a face as ugly as Chen You’s, he was embarrassed to go near.

This one should be called the number one beauty, Chen You concluded.

At this moment, Bai Xue was like a peach blossom, eagerly waiting to be picked and eaten.

Suddenly, a screen appeared above the man’s head and text was inputted – Lei Ming, eldest son of the Lei family, the youngest major general, unmarried.

The corners of Chen You’s mouth curled up, Major General Lei Ming. Hello, I’m here.

He asked the system to restore his hearing. There was no sound; the hall was completely silent.

The man’s powerful aura spread throughout the room, pressing down on everyone’s head, so no one dared to move.

A deep, thick voice sounded, “What is it?”

A young man stepped forward and said, “Reporting to the major general, these are the last two captives from the Bai clan. One is the clan head’s youngest son.”

Lei Ming’s line of sight swept towards Bai Xue.

Bai Xue’s cheeks were red, his eyes wet and shiny. He looked straight at the man, waiting expectantly.

Lei Ming retracted his gaze, uninterested.

Bai Xue hung his head, revealing a section of slender, white neck that looked fragile enough to break with a single pinch. He softly said, “Major General, I admire you.”

Lei Ming looked down at him, “You worship the people who destroyed your clan?”

Bai Xue froze, his face red, rendered speechless.

Now that he was alone, as one person he could not do anything. He could only consider his own future. This was still within reason.

Everyone looked at him with contempt. Just like that, he wanted to catch the major general. He was just indulging in a wild fantasy.

Lei Ming called out a name, “Deere.”

The man named Deere grimaced, “Major General, there is a tiger in my family. He will eat me.”

Everyone laughed out loud.

A fat, middle-aged man said, “I want it!”

Lei Ming raised a finger.

Bai Xue’s fate was settled. He looked over with a white face and staggered, glaring at Lei Ming with a deep enmity and resentment. His body shook and he directly fainted.

He fell next to Chen You’s feet.

In spite of all this, Chen You still went unnoticed by Lei Ming.

This isn’t right. He’s so offensive to the eye, it’s impossible for him to be invisible.

It seemed that he was overshadowed by the little beauty.

Ai, Chen You is a small, rotten vegetable that no one wants. Nobody cares, he has been thrown into the corner, left to die on his own.

His palms were sweating as he anxiously thought about how to attract the target’s attention in order to pass this level.

Or maybe, I could take off my pants?

Look, Major General, I have two pendants. I am very special and out of the ordinary, absolutely unique.

In the future, if you’ve finished your tasks and are sitting at home, bored, we can spray our water columns together and play.

If you don’t like waterspouts, I can still tie my pendant into a knot for you to look at. My hands are very nimble. If you don’t ask for a hundred ways, there will at least be eighty that I can do.

If you don’t like this either, it doesn’t matter. My two, your one, we can fight the landlord together.

Take me, Major General.

The more Chen You’s brain churned, the more he wanted to simultaneously laugh and cry. Fuck, if I turn over in my sleep, will my twins be crushed?

He looked up. Lei Ming had finished speaking with the two men and was ready to leave.

Exerting all his strength to stretch out a finger in a moment of desperation, Chen You shouted, “Wait-”

This sudden situation only attracted the attention of a few soldiers. For the target, though it was a bit unusual, it was impossible for him to stop just for something unusual and ugly.

Chen You took a deep breath. It seemed that the situation might force him to really take off his pants and display his two big pendants.

System, “You will scare the target, really.”

Chen You, “…”

He saw that Lei Ming was about to exit the hall, so he gritted his teeth and ran up.

Luoshenhua: Damn, Lei Ming is savage! I like it hehe. But Chen You’s inner monologue- ahahaha, I’m dying XD Desperate times call for desperate measures, but your system is right. Don’t scare off your ML with your two big pendants!
