Chapter 1
Good news: I've been transported; bad news: I've been kidnapped.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you alright?"
At the outer sect of the Holy Bright Sect, on Lingxiao Peak, among the sword-formation cultivators above the plaza.
A female cultivator looked down at the girl beside her, her expression somewhat puzzled.
Following her gaze, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old was crouching somewhat awkwardly on the flying sword at her feet.
Shen Shu'an looked up at the sound, revealing a forced smile: "Um, something came up."
Good heavens, who understands?
He transmigrated into a book and found himself at the Outer Sect Grand Ceremony the moment he opened his eyes.
She was just complaining that the male and female protagonists in the book were not doing their jobs properly, and that they hadn't ascended to immortality even after three million words.
How did I end up transmigrating into a book?
Most importantly, she only skimmed through that book; it wasn't finished!
All I remember is that before I lost consciousness, an ethereal voice suddenly rang in my mind, asking curiously, "So, what do you think we can do to help them ascend to immortality faster?"
Without hesitation, Shen Shu'an replied, "Is that even a question? Just put some pressure on them."
The voice paused for a moment, then hesitantly asked her, "Are you under a lot of pressure right now?"
Shen Shu'an: "??"
Shen Shuan looked down at her computer on her lap. It was late at night, and only a desk lamp was on by her bedside. She was in an uncomfortable position, and the PowerPoint presentation interface looked cold and impersonal. The time in the lower right corner was midnight.
Shen Shuan's face immediately contorted, and she gritted her teeth as she replied, "Yes, I'm under pressure, that's why I'm still working."
As she spoke, Shen Shuan's right hand twitched slightly due to her agitation, accidentally knocking over the water glass on the bedside table.
"ah…"
The next second, before the scream could even fully escape, a flash of current appeared in the charger plugged into the laptop.
Shen Shuan, 20 years old, an orphan, worked part-time as a laborer while on student loans during university, and died.
When I opened my eyes again, I was hundreds of meters in the air.
With a blink of an eye, I was transported to a completely different world, the one where I flew on a sword.
She didn't faint immediately, all thanks to Shen Shu'an's lack of fear of heights.
"Today, the outer sect grand ceremony of our Holy Bright Sect officially begins."
Suddenly, a reverberant sound came from afar, as if it were right next to your ear.
A chorus of unison erupted from the crowd: "Yes!"
Shen Shu'an sensed something was wrong. Soon, the surrounding cultivators quickly formed a battle formation.
Even the female cultivator who had spoken to her earlier said to Shen Shu'an, "Junior Sister Shen, stop joking around. Stand up quickly, we're about to perform a sword formation."
Shen Shu'an: "??"
No, who's joking?
Did you see the serious expression on my face?
Is it that I don't want to stand up?
It's because I can't stand up!
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Shu'an remained crouched on the sword. Several more seconds passed... and then several more seconds passed, as the surrounding cultivators began to cast questioning glances at him.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Shen Shu'an blushed.
It's not shame, it's restlessness.
She gave everyone an awkward yet polite smile, inwardly screaming, "This won't do! System, is the system here?"
"If you're not here, I won't waste any more time. I'll just jump over and restart my life."
Fortunately, it didn't disappoint her.
A mechanical voice echoed in her mind—
[Ding, hello host, I am the stress system. I have detected your current predicament. Would you like to claim your newbie gift pack?]
Shen Shu'an's eyes lit up. Wow, the seniors really didn't lie to her, there really is a system!
Shen Shu'an instantly felt confident. She straightened up and mentally declared, "Open the newbie gift pack!"
[Yes, host. The newbie gift pack has been activated.]
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the unique talent: 'Dragon Affinity'.]
[Effect: Greatly increases physical constitution and dragon magic talent, and significantly increases the dragon's initial favorability towards you.]
Side effect: There is a 99% chance of being abducted by a dragon. Host, from now on, please fight for yourself!
Shen Shuan narrowed his eyes slightly, Shen Shuan remained silent, Shen Shuan pondered.
She blinked, looked at the words on the transparent panel in front of her, and read them again in disbelief.
Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, this cold, black font will never change.
Shen Shu'an: "?"
Isn't this supposed to be a cultivation novel? What the heck is magic? And what the heck is a dragon?
In an instant, Shen Shuan's back, which had just straightened, bent back down again.
She silently crouched back on the sword and hugged herself tightly again.
I feel so helpless.
"Why has this fellow Daoist remained motionless for so long? Are you feeling unwell?"
Suddenly, a male cultivator called out to Shen Shu'an, his expression showing some concern.
Shen Wanqiu, who was standing at the front of the crowd, also turned around and looked at Shen Shuan with a hint of worry.
That's right, this body belongs to the younger sister of Shen Wanqiu, the female protagonist in the original book.
This is a perception that comes with being transmigrated into the book. Although the female protagonist in the original book didn't have a younger sister at all, it's likely the system's doing.
Shen Shu'an raised her head, met everyone's gazes, glanced at her older sister who was the female lead, and swallowed hard.
"I…"
Just as she was thinking of an excuse—
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a dark shadow appeared on the top of Lingxiao Peak, enveloping everyone.
Furthermore, as it rapidly descended, everyone was able to clearly see the ferocious dragon horns on its golden head.
"What do you mean, Holy Bright Sect? How come you have a dragon cub in your household?!"
A majestic dragon roar, filled with anger and questioning, resounded throughout the entire arena, and giant golden eyes lit up like a pair of blazing suns.
Dragon.
It's a dragon!
A colossal, five-clawed golden dragon, large enough to blot out the sky, its body hidden in the clouds, only its majestic head and eyes vaguely visible.
He looked down at the crowd, his gaze filled with astonishment and fury as he looked at Shen Shu'an in the middle of the crowd.
Just as he was passing by, Long Yan suddenly sensed a strong sense of intimacy. On a whim, he followed his senses and came to the top of Lingxiao Peak.
But to my surprise, the probe with my divine sense revealed something extraordinary.
How could there be a dragon cub among all the people on this hill?
Scandal! Huge scandal! A suspected dragon cub has been found wandering outside!
A fierce wind swept over them, and the people of Lingxiao Peak all took two steps back, struggling to raise their heads to resist the sudden pressure.
Only Shen Shu'an remained completely oblivious, still squatting obediently and timidly on the sword, only raising his head in shock.
She stared blankly at the enormous dragon head above, utterly shocked: "Holy crap, System, are you serious?"
"There really are dragons?!"
Good heavens, Motherland, she has seen a dragon!
"Wait, am I about to be kidnapped...?"
Halfway through her sentence, Shen Shu'an quickly realized what was happening, but it was too late. In the next instant, she was lifted up by an invisible force and suddenly rose into the air.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in her mind—
[Detection of surprise and worry from the female lead, Shen Wanqiu, generating 50 emotional points towards the host.]
Shen Shuan was taken aback.
She looked down at Shen Wanqiu, who was staring at her in shock.
Ah, it's her sister!
"ah!!!"
But before Shen Shu'an could look again, seeing the crowd below rapidly shrink, Shen Shu'an knelt down dramatically.
She's not afraid of heights, but her legs are weak.
Even if it were someone else, they would still be weak, right?!
Shen Shu'an knelt down and reached out to the crowd below, shouting desperately, "Ah! Help! Rescue me!"
"Sister, you know I'm Mom and Dad's biological daughter! Help me—"
At the outer sect of the Holy Bright Sect, on Lingxiao Peak, among the sword-formation cultivators above the plaza.
