Girls in a Matriarchal World Are Just Too Scary

“I don’t want to be the one pinned down!”

Su Yan shook his head. The men of this world might have grown accustomed to it, but asking him to put on a submissive little act was, without a doubt, quite a challenge.

“Wait a sec…”

Su Yan suddenly remembered something. In the later parts of the original novel, Master Bai Shuixin took in a youngest disciple, praising her exceptional talent and predicting she’d rival the three senior sisters in achievements.

“If I remember correctly, right now, Little Junior Sister is still a sixteen-year-old girl, exactly at her most downtrodden moment. If I track her down and have the Master take her in…”

With Little Junior Sister’s aptitude, it was practically guaranteed she’d be accepted. He’d earn her gratitude for helping her step onto the path of immortality, and by showing her kindness, how could he not win her over?

“With all this goodwill stacked up, won’t she just do whatever I say in the future—even if a man pins her down…?”

The more Su Yan thought about it, the more excited he got. Brushing up her favor while she was down and out—once she grew up, wouldn’t he have free rein?

When there was something to do, Little Junior Sister would take care of it. When there was nothing… well, he’d take care of Little Junior Sister…

Ahem!

In short, he’d found a way to break the deadlock. If he married Little Junior Sister, the senior sisters would have no reason to pester him, and he’d have an explanation for Master, too.

Plus, choosing Little Junior Sister meant not only having her at his beck and call but also enjoying the thrill of nurturing her growth—a win-win situation.

But there was a problem: where exactly was Little Junior Sister?

“I remember the original story mentioning the Master meeting her in Di Hua Continent. Should I head there to look?”

As Su Yan mulled it over quietly, a transmission jade talisman flew into the room.

“Su Yan, come see me at once.”

Bai Shuixin’s voice echoed through the chamber.

Su Yan frowned in confusion. Why would the Master summon an idle nobody like him?

Just as he puzzled over it, a cold, mechanical voice chimed in.

[Plot starting point detected. System activated.]

“Huh?”

Su Yan froze for a moment, then burst into joy.

It’s here, it’s here—it’s finally here!

Hearing that icy prompt, Su Yan felt a surge of emotion. He’d thought he’d be stuck living off women for life, like every other man in this world.

Never in a million years did he expect the great deity who’d tossed him here to have a shred of mercy and send him a system.

“What kind of transmigrator doesn’t have a system?”

Su Yan held his head high and straightened his back, feeling like he’d finally made it. He reminisced about the various novels he’d read before transmigrating.

Protagonists with systems effortlessly slapped faces, climbed to the peak of life, or radiated kingly charisma, becoming legends who shook the world.

“I’m not greedy—just let me ascend to immortality on the spot and open a massive harem.”

Stunningly beautiful senior sisters, gentle junior sisters—he wanted them all. A true man must dare to confront everything.

With that thought, Su Yan opened the system.

The interface was a bit slapdash, exuding the cheap vibe of a third-rate browser game.

“Choice System?”

Su Yan tilted his head. Wasn’t that name a little too basic?

Whatever.

The name didn’t matter—as long as it was powerful.

Su Yan tapped into the system and pulled up his personal info.

[Name: Su Yan]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 18]

[Physique: Pure Yang Body]

[Cultivation: Early Foundation Establishment]

[Skills: Basic Cooking]

[Techniques: Rain Summoning, Moistening Art, Dragon King Water Spray]

“???”

Su Yan reread it several times, hardly believing his eyes. A grand Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he only knew three techniques—two of them support skills? Was this a system glitch?

[This system has zero bugs. Host, please use it with confidence!]

Huh?

Seeing the text pop up, Su Yan was half-convinced, half-doubtful.

He refused to believe a cultivator could be this useless. He tapped other options with his finger.

The first tab was a basic overview; now came the detailed stats. Su Yan’s current attributes were as follows—

[Aptitude: 60]

[Comprehension: 18]

[Spiritual Power: 32]

Per the system’s standards, 50 aptitude was the bare minimum for cultivation, 30 spiritual power was average, and as for comprehension…

“I don’t even need to guess—I know this is straight-up third-rate trash!”

Su Yan grumbled, his face sour. Now he understood why the original host only knew three techniques. Turns out he was a total dimwit—half-baked at everything!

If he remembered right, that basic cooking skill was something he’d brought with him, not even the original host’s ability.

“Did he master cooking because he was cooped up at home all day?”

Su Yan shook his head. He was a cultivator now—cooking was utterly useless to him.

Rain Summoning, as the name suggested, used spiritual power to call down a small rain.

Moistening Art was just a healing spell, though its effects were pretty weak.

Beyond those, what caught Su Yan’s eye was his sole offensive technique.

“Dragon King Water Spray? What a weird name.”

Su Yan pondered. Did Foundation Establishment techniques include this? With “Dragon King” in the name, its power shouldn’t be shabby, right?

After a quick test, Su Yan’s eyes went blank. He was thoroughly convinced.

Dragon King Water Spray sounded impressive but was literally just spraying water. The more spiritual power he used, the thicker and stronger the stream.

“Trash technique!”

Su Yan roared. What was this water-spraying nonsense? Drowning someone? This was a complete joke!

Out of sight, out of mind—Su Yan had figured out the basics. The next step was using the system to improve himself.

Since it was called the Choice System, rewards must come from making choices.

“Explain it to me.”

What kind of choices? When do they trigger? What are the rewards?

[This system’s choices are entirely random, triggered by the host’s actions. Rewards generally fall into the following categories…]

Su Yan scrolled through the reward pool. The most common were skills: medicine, painting, calligraphy, tea ceremony—all mundane life skills.

Learning them wouldn’t make him stronger, but they could refine his character. If he gave up cultivation, he wouldn’t starve with these talents, but…

“I’d be an idiot to pick these!”

Su Yan scoffed. Why bother with this junk when he could be an immortal god?

Sleeve Universe, Heaven and Earth Manifestation, Eight-Nine Mysteries—those divine powers had him drooling. With those, what couldn’t he do?

“Based on the difficulty of the choice, there’s a chance to draw these abilities…”

Reading the system’s text, Su Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

This “choice difficulty”—it wouldn’t mean courting death, would it? Only by recklessly risking his life could he snag these top-tier powers?

[The host is correct.]

Su Yan wanted to curse. Of course, it was about courting death—and it had to pay off. This was an outright scam!

[The host can choose not to select.]
