Stuck in a Chinese novel

"Wh-What?" Wei Jun stammered, not sure if he heard her correctly, but her words remained the same, "The fruits in your subspace. Give them to me. God knows how long I've been in there. I'm famished."

Wei Jun kept looking at her face as if he couldn't decide what to do next. The woman kept looking at him with a sweet smile before she sighed and said, "Fine. You can keep two for yourself but give me the rest. All five of them."

[I think you should give them to her]

Wei Jun woke up from his stupor at the system's advice and pulled the five fruits out of his inventory. Wei Jun was surprised that the woman knew about the subspace but he couldn't tell how. So all he could do was ignore it for the moment and comply with the woman's demands. Whatever they may be.

As the five fruits appeared in his hands, she snatched them and began to devour them as if she had really been hungry for years, which she literally was.

"Eat one yourself and give one to the children outside." The woman said once she was done eating. Wei Jun was confused so he asked, "Children?"

"The monsters outside. Feed one of the fruit to them to complete the contract. They'd obey you for the rest of their lives." The woman replied.

Wei Jun's mind clicked and he understood what 'Children' she was talking about. Wei Jun remained silent and simply nodded. The woman smiled sweetly and took a step forward. Once she was close enough, she said, "Give me your hands."

Wei Jun didn't know what came over him but his hands raised on their own. He knew the woman had nothing to do with it. He just couldn't resist her order.

The woman smiled softly and took his hands. As soon as he did, the dark and purple ethereal power began to enter Wei Jun's body through her. When Wei Jun was about to interrupt thinking the Death Qi inside of him wouldn't be so kind towards that invasion, he was surprised to see it move as if to welcome the power entering Wei Jun and mingled with it.

Both of the powers began to merge together until they began to flow through Wei Jun's body before exiting through one of his hands into her body. Wei Jun could sense the construction of a cycle as if their bodies were not two but one. The cycle of circulation kept going for a while. Seconds stretched to minutes. Minutes to hours and hours to days.

Finally, after seven days of standing in the same posture, the fusion Death Qi and the power of the woman separated and Death Qi settled back into his core while notifications assaulted his vision.

The woman's power returned to her and she let go of Wei Jun's hands. She stepped back with a smile, the look in her eyes of pure longing as she said, "As expected."

Wei Jun's attention was drawn to her when he head that and all he saw in her eyes was obsessiveness. Wei Jun couldn't tell why or what he should think about it unless he heard the words come out of the woman's mouth.

"We're perfect for each other, Damien."

Wei Jun's eyes widened but before he could think of anything else, the woman before her eyes disappeared. Wei Jun hurriedly looked around but he could find no one else but him and the passed-out men and the woman who were on the imperial family's side.

Wei Jun had no time to worry about them since he had other matters to worry about. The notifications in his gaze, the woman who knew her real name and disappeared as if she was just a figment of his imagination, and...

Wei Jun raised his hand to look at the ten-inch black wand that had exquisite patterns carved out on it in purple color. He didn't know where it appeared from but one thing was for sure.

[The quest has been completed]

[Rewards have been granted]

[Please exit the dungeon for the rewards to be received]

Wei Jun didn't know what to think of the events that had unfolded but he didn't have much time to think when his surroundings began to tremble and he could feel the building breaking down.

Wei Jun looked down on the three cultivators. Since their minds were no longer sane and he already had plans for them, Wei Jun raised his hands and constructed three Death Qi spears and without hesitation, shot them with the spears straight in their hearts.

The usual notifications of him killing cultivators appeared but it was a little different this time. Wei Jun left it for later along with the rest and began to make his way out of the tomb.

After about an hour of running at his full speed, he finally arrived at the section where he saw the cultivators passed out on the ground.

However, upon closer inspection, he found out that there were only two of them alive, both of them being the generals. He picked them up without much hesitation and jumped out of the pool on the outside. Outside, a storm could be seen all around him as if it sought to uproot everything in the ground and that was exactly what was happening.

The temple itself was breaking down and everything was rising up above the sky into a black hole that could be seen in the sky.

Wei Jun didn't think for a moment and jumped once again, landing outside of the temple, and began to run in the direction of the dungeon gate.

He willed for the fruit to appear in his hand and as soon as he did, the fruit began to break down until it disappeared in the air. Just as he was thinking what had just happened, a tattoo began to appear on his hand and in a few seconds, it took the shape of a centipede, the one Wei Jun had killed.

Wei Jun had no idea what he should do about it but he didn't have the time to worry about everything. He dungeon was still breaking down and the strong pull of the black hole in the sky was pulling him as well.

Still, Wei Jun managed to run all the way to the entrance and without a second's thought, jumped into it. As soon as he did, he ended up on the other side of the dungeon, in the city where he could see many, many cultivators gathered, including some familiar faces.

Before he could register them, however...

Boom!!!!

A strong shockwave spread throughout the area, spreading from behind him and shaking the area. The one to take the full face brunt of the shockwave was none other than Wei Jun and the two cultivators in his grasp.

"Kugh!!!"

And beyond that moment, Wei Jun remembered nothing.

~~

[How are you feeling?]

The system asked Wei Jun as he opened his eyes slowly, immense pain coursing through his body. He groaned but the pain slowly began to disappear. As he came to his senses about an hour, he finally chose to reply to the system's question.

'Alive.'

He sighed for a moment before he asked, 'What the hell happened?'

[Spatial transference]

[It's a phenomenon in which an entire pocket dimension is moved to somewhere else]

[The dungeon you were in moved to somewhere else as well]

'I see.' That was all Wei Jun could say in reply because he understood nothing about it. He simply sighed and closed his eyes for a while before he asked, 'How long was I out?'

[A little more than five hours]

At the system's reply, Wei Jun sighed and closed his eyes to rest for a little. He had too much on his mind from the events that had happened to the events that happened after that.

The only survivors of that dungeon were three individuals and all of them were on the military side. The military could no longer prove that the imperial family had evil cultivators so that was a lost cause no matter what.

Wei Jun was also sure that the imperial family would use that fact to further cement their hold on the public's sentiment and buy some more time for them. Of course, that also included their newly constructed enmity with Wei Jun.

He was unsure of the fates of General Shao and General Ming but he decided to worry about them later. Not like he was worried anyway. He was just worried about them because he needed witnesses. Otherwise, he would have another problem on his hand known as the military.

However, even that wasn't the biggest agenda on his mind.

First and foremost, the fact that worried him the most was that woman who seemed clearly western but was dressed like an Egyptian queen, found on the eastern soil and spoke mandarin so flawlessly one would think she was Chinese.

That woman and everything related to her was what plagued his mind the most.

Especially.
