Chapter 262: Troubled Beauty
Throughout my life, I have been in unpleasant situations and this is not the first time that my body has been so injured that I cannot move, however, it is still unpleasant to be treated like a rag doll.
I am sitting on a sick bed while Ikaros feeds me as I can only speak and make small movements with my right arm, the rest of my body is unable to move as I have severe wounds on my soul and my body is made of black blood so technically I have a spirit body, that means I'm almost immune to physical damage, but I'm more vulnerable to spiritual injuries.
Sleeping next to me is Ortro, she absorbed half of the suffering I experienced to protect me and so she had to go into hibernation to prevent her mind from breaking.
SystemGoddess, Daedalus, and BB managed to stabilize my condition so that I would recover the mobility of my body in a week, but until then I am a vegetable that can only talk and pat heads.
The woman who caused my injuries is smiling joyfully while her left-hand draws pictures in a notebook and her right-hand hold my immobile left hand.
"What do you think of this flower?" - Gogh smiled at me as she showed me her drawing.
She drew a beautiful sunflower, but somehow that flower twisted in a strange way causing a feeling of discomfort and dizziness in whoever saw it.
Gogh's drawings and paintings are a materialization of 'Distortion Madness' whereby a single flower can cause a world to go into chaos as the Laws become unstable and living beings fall into the depths of depressive madness and self-destructive.
The only reason that space is not being warped by Gogh's drawing is that she is using a notebook and pencil specially made from the same material as the Granzeboma robot which allows my [Anti-Rasen] to prevent the spread of Madness.
I smiled slightly. – "It is a beautiful flower"
"Ehehehe" – Gogh smiled innocently and continued drawing.
"I don't know what is more unrealistic and unlikely..." - A beautiful silver-haired woman looked at me strangely. – "Seeing a system user acting like a civilized person who does not express nonsense to show off his strength, or the fact that I am witnessing the most dangerous creature in the multiverse behaving like a little princess pampered by her father... The immensity of the heavens is infinite"
"Ahem, I suggest you reduce the exaggerated vocabulary" – System Goddess sighed wryly.
She is here to take advantage of the functions of my system to speed up my recovery process without causing any side effects.
The woman raised an eyebrow. – "I, Long Aotian, have a sophisticated vocabulary so there should be no problem understanding what I want to express"
"For the love of God, stop" - I sighed with annoyance. – "No immensity of the heavens, no analogies, just short sentences"
The woman looked at me blankly. – "If that is what the husband wants then I will try to limit the length of my sentences"
... What a headache.
"Masta, here's your coffee" - Ikaros helped me take a sip of coffee making me feel calmer, I love this girl of few words.
To understand this scenario, I must explain what happened after I returned to my personal world.
Putting aside that my wives went to great lengths to help me stabilize my health, the Outer Gods took care of the woman who turned into a mass of flesh.
Chiyo insisted on destroying the woman's soul, but my ideas were different.
My confrontation with the woman lasted less than 10 seconds, but it was enough to see some interesting things.
The woman lacks combat experience and she's too prideful so she underestimated me and she didn't prepare for a sneak attack.
If it was direct combat, she could sweep the floor with me and could even escape if surrounded by Nyaruko, Abby, and BB.
It's no exaggeration to say that this woman is stronger than the shitty monk and Auriel, but her pride and lack of experience make her vulnerable to trickery and trickery.
Leaving aside her strength, the most striking thing is that she never wanted to hurt me and her attacks were instinctive reactions, in fact, she restrained herself from killing me by accident, although that was unnecessary since I am a cockroach on steroids.
When she was still a mass of flesh, BB and Abby created a dimensional cage to capture the woman.
I recently discovered that the two spiral energies are very compatible with Madness.
[Rasen] helps evolve Madness while [Anti-Rasen] gives it stability.
Using Tsubaki's 'Resonance' I can share both energies with the women in my head which help them improve their skills, in other words, the stronger I am, the stronger the Ancient Ones and Outer Gods around me will be.
Abby can create dimensional cages that can capture entities on par with Auriel for a few seconds, but thanks to [Anti-Rasen], those cages can last up to a year.
Using restraints and taking advantage of the fact that the woman was injured, she was easily captured for questioning, but it was when she finished rebuilding her body that the strangeness began.
The woman showed no fear when she faced 3 Outer Gods and 3 Primeval Ones, she remained indifferent and demanded to speak with me.
BB made her sign a contract, that the woman could talk to me, but in return she was forbidden to reveal any information about my group, additionally she had to explain how she was able to know my identity.
The woman didn't hesitate to sign the contract which made me feel uncomfortable at the time as she was being too submissive despite her arrogant attitude.
With the help of my new nurse, Ikaros, I met with the woman and thus understood what happened.
She introduced herself and her identity was a headache.
Damn [Paranoia], it didn't warn me about this.
She is called Long Aoxue, but her title is Long Aotian, the heir to the Dragon Emperor Palace, the strongest faction of Eternal Heaven Immortal.
(Author's Note: Long Aoxue / Aotian from My Girlfriend is Long Aotian)
System Goddess had heard that name and explained to me that Long Aotian was the strongest person among the younger generation of cultivators in the multiverse, although she thought Aotian was a male according to rumors.
She had the achievement of ascending to a Higher Entity on her own at the young age of 12 human years, and although a Higher Entity has no age, she has only lived for 20 years.
Normally it's impossible for a mortal entity to become a Superior Entity without help, even I received the help of System Goddess and BB to ascend, but Long Aotian is different.
She herself broke the limitations of her History (World) and became an entity outside of destiny, which is something that even a system user cannot do since the system itself is what guides our actions and disobeying it can be life-threatening.
Despite being a monster, she is cute.
On the other hand, I'm not making excuses because I want to avoid marrying such a beautiful and outstanding woman, it's just that I don't want misunderstandings to arise between us or it will be a problem if she misunderstands my strength and then gets disappointed that I'm not as strong as she thinks.
I may be a hypocrite, but there are lies that only damage a relationship.
Aotian smiled softly, putting aside her cold and characterless expression. – "You may be weaker than me in brute force and I can easily defeat you in direct combat, but my instincts tell me that you can defeat me in an ambush and you even have the possibility of killing me... You are strong"
I looked at System Goddess. – "Are all cultivators masochists?"
System Goddess sighed. – "It is not masochism, it is respect for the strong"
No matter how I look at it, this is masochism...
I sighed. – "Well, whatever... Aren't you going to ask why there are Ancient Ones and Outer Gods by my side?"
Aotian smiled calmly. – "If not the system user who attacked the Golden Buddha Sect then you are his ally... I really do not care if you have hostility to the Eternal Heaven Immortal or what your crimes have been, I have already decided that you will be my husband so your enemies are my enemies"
...
Again I looked at System Goddess.
"Stop looking at me like that, I already told you that cultivators respect strength and pride" – System Goddess sighed in exasperation. – "Personally I hate that kind of mentality, but the truth is that most cultivators live with the belief that the force is the absolute truth"
Aotian nodded. – "That's right, the strong dictate the truth, besides, a woman will never be superior to a man, so the duty of a woman is to find a powerful husband to give her strong children"
... Feminism died in a single paragraph...
Although I understand that this mentality comes from conservative and macho traditions, there is something that makes me uncomfortable with Aotian's mentality.
"Did you learn that mentality in your home world?" – I asked directly.
Aotian shook her head. – "No, my father was the one who showed me the truth of the Dao, strength is everything and therefore strong men are the ones who rule while the weak submit, that is why it is normal for strong men to surround themselves with outstanding women"
.... This level of stupidity is not normal.
"Luis..." - System Goddess sent me a mental message not to be heard by Aotian. – "I have heard stories of strong men who adopt talented girls as their disciples or daughters, then educate them to be their future concubines..."
"Hey Listen! They are pathetic idiots, the real Hikaru Genji is this dog! Those losers with erectile dysfunction are just raising women to be stolen by the Harem King muhahaha!"
"Do not interrupt the mental conversation" - I sighed internally. – "Do you know anything about that emperor?"
"No, sorry" – System Goddess sighed. – "I stay away from the Immortal Eternal Heaven to avoid problems"
"A good decision" - I sighed and sent a message to the living rumor store, BB. – "Do you know anything about the Jade Dragon Emperor?"
"Senpai only looks for me when he wants information and never gives me love *sad sounds*"
Nyaruko and BB are working with Shiguma to repair the two spiral energy robots that were damaged by Gogh.
I was surprised that BB was so proficient at repairing things, but according to her, it's fun to build scale mecha. She called them Gundem, Gundum... Something like that.
"I'll hug you later, for now, tell me what you know" – I sighed internally as I pretended to listen to Aoitan who kept talking about the importance of strength and other stupidities of a cultivator.
"Yay!~ *happy kohai noises* Well, the idiot emperor is a pervert with a daughter fetish, he adopts female disciples to make them believe that no man is worthy of them, then he makes those girls lonely to make them easy to fall in love so he can make them his submissive mistresses, that idiot says he seeks to help his female disciples through dual cultivation, but he's just a perverted idiot with incestuous complexes... He and senpai could be friends~"
I ignored the last part and understood what bothered me about Aotian's attitude, she was being raised to be an idiot's sex doll...
"Hey Listen! Let's go to that asshole's house so you can sleep with his daughters while he watches you with an erection of hate!"
"Stop seeing garbage on the internet, it's rotting your non-existent brain" - I sighed mentally.
"Fuck you asshole, NTR doujins are the best in drawing quality! Long live Takeda Hiromitsu and his strange sense of female anatomy!"
... Idiot.
"I still don't understand why there are no restrictions or surveillance skills in Aotian" – That didn't make sense.
If I want to prepare a woman to be totally mine, I would never give her the freedom to meet other men because that could ruin my plans, especially when she is an emotionally needy woman.
"Senpai must not forget that pride causes overconfidence" – BB scoffed. – "Senpai can be more controlling and rational thanks to pessimism, but the idiot emperor relies too much on his own charm so he blindly believes that girls will not fall in love with other men... It is the same logic that little girls believe that their parents are the coolest men in the world and that idea only changes as they mature"
I see, that idiot causes the Electra Complex in his female disciples to ensure they don't seek out other men... An overconfident idiot.
I said goodbye to BB and sighed softly. – "To tell the truth I have many secrets so if you are my wife you will have to sign some Confidentiality Agreements"
Aotian frowned. – "Do you not trust my word?"
"I trust in your honor" - I smiled bitterly. – "But I have a family to protect and since you will also be part of this family, I would like you to take care of them too"
Aotian looked at me in silence for a couple of minutes while she thought about my words.
"To tell the truth, Contracts are not just to keep my secrets" - I smiled. – "I promise you that I will keep striving to get stronger, that way even if you reach the top, you will not be alone"
Aotian stared at me and then smiled. – "Great words, but I like your attitude... Well, I will sign the Contracts, husband"
I smiled. – "Thank you for understanding, wife"
And so I got involved in another problem of multidimensional proportions. Maybe I'm a masochist after all...
