Chapter 1: Kindergarten, System?

Dachang City, Huanhuan Kindergarten.

"Which little friend would like to come up and sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'?"

The gentle voice on stage woke the dozing Ye Chen; he blearily opened his eyes, and his head felt dizzy.

"Where is this?"

Ye Chen's first words upon waking were to ask where this place was.

Soon after, a sharp pain shot through his head, and before long, a memory not his own flooded his mind.

After he finished digesting the memory, a silence fell.

"I am a child, I'm still in the senior class..."

"Damn it! I just worked overtime and got transmigrated straight away."

"Is this still domestic or what!"

【Ding—Detected host in a perilous cultivation world; the Cultivation System has been activated.】

【This system will lead the host to overturn the cultivation world!】

Ye Chen fell silent again upon hearing the system's words.

The honking outside, the nursery teacher inside, and the children his age—you could say this is a dwarf institute and Ye Chen would buy it, but the system insists this is a cultivation world, and he doesn't believe it at all.

"System, I think you've got some serious illness that needs treatment."

【Ding—Please do not doubt this system; a terrifying expert is about to launch a sonic attack, please be careful, host!】

"Huh?!"

Ye Chen heard the system's voice, looked up at the blackboard, and saw a little girl hopping onto the podium.

The little girl was lively, her round, chubby face glowing with a tender pink sheen; when she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, her petite nose perkily tilted up, making her so adorable that one couldn't resist pinching her cheeks.

At that moment, Teacher Lin took the little girl's hand and said, "We've invited Little Friend An Yu to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for us, okay?"

After Teacher Lin Jingxue finished, the children below shouted in unison, "Okay~"

Seeing An Yu on stage, Ye Chen began cursing the system's ancestors in his heart……

However, the system paid no attention to Ye Chen.

At this moment, An Yu's voice rang out; though young, it was extremely pleasant, her childish tone continuously flowing from her mouth—this bore no resemblance to the system's so-called 'terrifying' sonic attack.

As An Yu's singing rang out, the system's voice also sounded: "【The host actually withstood the terrifying expert's sonic attack! The system hereby grants a reward: first-layer Qi Refining cultivation!】"

When the system's voice faded, it vanished.

Ye Chen saw this and prepared to lash out, but before he could, he suddenly felt a subtle change in his mind.

"Holy shit, system, you're for real?"

"【Host, I've said it before—please don't question this system.】"

After the system spoke, Ye Chen felt his mind become much clearer.

"Damn, I can actually cultivate!"

"System Daddy, I was just speaking too loudly earlier; you're magnanimous, so don't hold it against me."

As the saying goes, a true man knows how to adapt to the times to be outstanding.

Correcting one's mistakes promptly avoids embarrassment.

Moreover, he's just a child, not a man.

However, the system did not reply to Ye Chen's words.

Just as Ye Chen was preparing to have a deeper exchange with the system, An Yu finished her song, came down, and was still holding the lollipop rewarded by Teacher Lin Jingxue.

"【On the terrifying expert named An Yu lies a top-grade Qi Refining Pill; if the host consumes it, he can immediately advance a realm—this is a great opportunity for the host, so he must seize it at all costs!】"

Ye Chen stared, stunned, upon hearing the system's words.

"What pill? What great opportunity? System, are you playing with me?"

"Besides, you call a cute little girl a terrifying expert?"

Ye Chen wanted to drag the system out and torture it a hundred times over—how could such a cute little girl possibly be the terrifying expert the system spoke of?

Ye Chen saw An Yu walking toward him and sitting beside him; only then did he notice that there had been an empty seat next to him all along.

"What kind of pill could she have on her?"

Ye Chen was puzzled; An Yu wore a princess dress, which in no way looked like she carried any pills.

An Yu seemed to notice Ye Chen looking at her, so she turned and asked, "Brother Ye Chen, did I sing well?"

An Yu's voice was soft and sweet, very pleasant to hear.

This hit Ye Chen, who in his previous life had always wanted a daughter, like a critical strike, making his heart feel like it would melt.

"Nice!"

Ye Chen replied without hesitation.

But a genuine child is never swayed by cuteness; he steadied his mind and began to size up An Yu.

In his view, a pill should be a discrete bead, yet he saw nothing bead-like on An Yu's person.

An Yu noticed Ye Chen's gaze, but not knowing why he kept staring, she assumed he wanted her candy and asked, "Brother Ye Chen, do you want the candy in my hand?"

When An Yu's voice rang out, the old boy Ye Chen suffered another ten-thousand-point critical hit.

He clutched his chest in pain and strained, "I… I'm fine."

Seeing Ye Chen clutch his chest in pain, An Yu recalled how many people on TV cover their hearts before dying, thought Ye Chen was about to die, and immediately burst into tears.

"'Brother Ye Chen is going to die; Brother Ye Chen, please don't die—I'll give you all my candy.'"

An Yu wiped her eyes with her hand, looking very sorrowful.

The other children, hearing An Yu's cries, also began to sob.

They didn't know why they should cry, but they just felt like crying.

And at this moment, Ye Chen was, "！？"

He looked at An Yu with a dazed look.

"I've just been reborn, don't mess around!"

An Yu's crying caught Lin Jingxue's attention; she walked down from the podium, came to An Yu's side, and gently asked, "An Yu little one, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Lin Jingxue's voice, An Yu sobbed, "Ye Chen brother is going to die."

After saying that, she burst into loud crying.

Lin Jingxue looked at Ye Chen, her face full of worry, but soon a smile appeared on her face as she steadied Ye Chen: "Ye Chen little one, what happened?"

"Teacher Lin, I'm fine."

Ye Chen replied, his childish voice making him feel very unaccustomed.

"Really?" Lin Jingxue asked again.

After Ye Chen said that, Teacher Lin still wasn't relieved, she picked up Ye Chen and rushed to the infirmary.

Before leaving the classroom, she made a phone call, presumably to call someone to help her manage the class.

And as Lin Jingxue picked up Ye Chen, An Yu shoved the lollipop she was holding into Ye Chen's hand.

"Ye Chen brother, don't die, I'll give you my lollipop, please don't die."

An Yu sobbed, her eyes full of tears as she looked at Ye Chen.

Which man could withstand such a gaze? Imagine a soft, tender little girl with teary eyes looking at an old man—who could stand that?

Anyway, Ye Chen couldn't withstand it; the desire for a daughter surged at this moment, but he had forgotten that he was now just a six-year-old brat.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ye Chen replied.

As his words fell, Lin Jingxue led him out of the classroom.

And at that moment, the system's voice sounded: 【The host actually obtained that supreme-grade Qi Refining Pill without lifting a blade or spear—how terrifying! Now reward: increase realm by one!】

And the system's voice also sounded at this moment, 【The host actually obtained that top-grade Qi Refining Pill without moving a blade or spear, terrifying! Now reward realm plus one!】
