Chapter 1.1 Wife? Fiancée?
“Biohazard, don’t ask questions. I’m your daughter. Save your wife with me!”
Eighteen-year-old Xia Feng was grabbed onto a motorcycle by a tall woman who claimed to be his daughter. Behind them, two passersby’s bodies began to swell, and two newly formed zombies started to roar.
About ten minutes later, Xia Feng looked up at the four large characters ‘Pingshan Hospital’ and couldn’t suppress his curiosity. “This is a hospital, is my wife a doctor?”
His daughter blinked. “Your wife is about to be born.”
“Huh?”
Xia Feng was startled and his eyes snapped open. The blinding surgical lamp made him instinctively squint, and he heard the nurses’ suppressed laughter.
“Little one, I’m thirty-six years old, I can’t be your wife~” The female doctor skillfully removed her medical gloves and turned off the surgical lamp. “Alright, you’re not seriously injured, just a mild concussion from the car accident. You’ll be fine with some rest.”
Listening to the female doctor, Xia Feng was still a bit dazed. He was vaguely pushed out of the operating room and into a hospital room.
Staring at the white ceiling, his thoughts were still stuck in the dream from earlier.
Zombies? An adult daughter? An unborn wife? What kind of nonsense was this?
Although it was just a dream and he didn’t need to dwell on it, as a transmigrator, he was very sensitive to such anomalies.
He had had dreams that felt this real before, but this time was different, because he could still recall the face of his mysterious daughter!
He was sure it was a face he had never seen before.
Well, she was so beautiful, if he had seen her, he would definitely remember her. Thinking of this, various strange occurrences from his two lives couldn’t help but surface in his mind.
In his past life, in 2026, an anime called *Apocalypse Descends* was released. His friends said it was a super action-packed anime that was exciting from the very first episode, especially the villainous World-Ending Witch, whose figure and face were both incredibly captivating, winning her countless fans.
So, he opened the first episode with a critical mindset and then realized he had been tricked. It truly was an action-packed anime, with no lewd content whatsoever!
Damn it!
The first episode was the prelude to the apocalypse, where the World-Ending Witch, known as the ‘Bronze Monarch’, wreaked havoc and destruction, portraying the villainous nature of this ultimate antagonist.
Deeply deceived, Xia Feng severely criticized this World-Ending Witch, and then… then he was conscientiously sent into the world of this anime, where the power levels could destroy worlds, by a professional truck driver!
The good news was, he had the standard Golden finger for transmigrators!
The bad news was, he woke up to find his heart had been ripped out.
Therefore, without a heart, he could only rely on his Golden finger to survive.
And this Golden finger happened to be a heart—the Calamity Demon Heart. Its vitality allowed him to live until eighteen. If he wanted to live longer, he had to fully activate the Calamity Demon Heart and complete the contract.
Yes, this damn Golden finger required him to collect materials himself to activate it, which was incredibly frustrating.
So, he began a difficult journey of collecting materials for several years.
Initially, Xia Feng planned to seek help from his childhood sweetheart. His childhood sweetheart had now become a probationary Saintess of the Holy See and naturally had some channels to purchase activation materials.
However, unfortunately, the few times he tried to visit her, she was in seclusion for cultivation and refused visitors. After two or three attempts, Xia Feng understood that his childhood sweetheart intended to distance herself from him.
All one could say was that everyone had their own aspirations, and they could each go their separate ways.
And just now, that is, before the car accident that landed him in the hospital. With only a few hours of heart vitality remaining, after all his hard work, he had finally collected all the materials and was preparing to activate this mysterious Golden finger.
His childhood sweetheart, Cha Nai Xue, suddenly came to his door and, without beating around the bush, presented him with a marriage certificate.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng, whose mind was in a bit of a daze, let his thoughts drift back to 8 hours ago.
* * *
“This marriage certificate, which allows you to marry into the Mu Clan, was approved by Lord Earl at my strong recommendation. Although the Taicang Mu Clan has declined, they are still nobles. Little Feng, as long as you obey the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan, the Mu Clan will naturally not mistreat you.”
“As for the silly things we said about getting married when we grew up, just forget about them.”
“I know, I know you’ve always secretly liked me, but some things are just impossible. Xia Feng, you’re a good person.”
“You don’t blame me for being presumptuous and arranging a marriage for you, do you?” Cha Nai Xue’s calm and gentle voice still echoed in his ears. Heh heh~ Xia Feng naturally didn’t mind. After all, it was useless to mind, as his opinion wouldn’t matter much since Lord Earl had already agreed. Have to make it work even if it’s impossible! One could only say that Cha Nai Xue understood how to disgust him.
However, just as he was admiring Cha Nai Xue’s outrageous actions and narcissistic thoughts, the photo of the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan printed on the marriage certificate caught his attention—
It was an elegant woman in a black dress. Since she was sitting sideways by the window, her face wasn’t clearly visible, but Xia Feng was all too familiar with that iconic, graceful black dress of hers.
It was the same dress as the World-Ending Witch in his memory!
Looking at her name again, Mu Qingtong—
It perfectly matched the esteemed name of the World-Ending Witch, the Bronze Monarch!
Xia Feng was almost scared to death. The terrifying scenes of Mu Qingtong destroying the world in the future were vivid in his mind. To become this woman’s fiancé? Wasn’t this like a rat licking a cat’s behind—asking for death?
Cha Nai Xue, oh Cha Nai Xue, as expected of you, you really know how to cause trouble for me!
[…99%—100%—]
[Activation Successful—]
[Calamity Demon Heart (Incomplete)]
[Demonic Energy · Heart of the Strong: You can permanently contract one high-level intelligent life form whose bone age differs by ±1. When your comprehensive strength is lower than the other party’s, your strength (including but not limited to physique, nerve reaction, combat intuition, combat knowledge, combat skills, supernatural abilities, etc.) will immediately synchronize with the other party. ‘Learning ability, including comprehension’ and ‘Spirit Energy Unsealing’ are excluded.]
“Huh?”
!
The information from the Golden finger flooded into his mind. Xia Feng was almost overjoyed. In his mind, he recalled the terrifying scenes of Mu Qingtong destroying the world.
I’m sorry, Sister Nai Xue, I misunderstood you. You’re actually a good person!
Simply put, as long as he found a talented young man or woman of similar age who was destined for great things, and bonded his strength with them, he could level up while lying down!
Then, whenever he had time, he could urge the other party to cultivate. When they leveled up, he would level up. The feeling of this knowledge automatically entering his mind was, just thinking about it, a beautiful prospect.
As for who to bond with, did that even need to be asked?
Mu Qingtong, who was only nineteen now, would reach world-ending power before the age of thirty in the future, turning the world upside down—
This woman, revered as the Bronze Monarch, undoubtedly possessed extraordinary cultivation talent!
Of course, compared to the World-Ending Witch, binding with the protagonist of this anime might be a better choice.
But the awkward thing was, having only watched less than one episode of the anime’s prologue, he had no idea who the protagonist was, or even whether they were male or female.
And, time was running out.
[Notice: Current heart energy is severely insufficient, vitality is about to run out.]
[Remaining Vitality: 9 hours]
[Effect 2: Vitality can be increased by devouring ‘Calamity Force’. When vitality reaches a certain stage, new Demonic Energy can be activated, granting new abilities.]
[….]
[Please select an intelligent being within your sight to establish a soul link with. After synchronizing strength, vitality can be extended by 2-3 days based on the target’s Spirit Pressure intensity.]
Understanding the function of his Golden finger, he didn’t hesitate. After hastily bidding farewell to the good person Cha Nai Xue, he drove his car and sped towards Mu Qingtong’s location.
Then—
Then he got into a car accident and ended up in the hospital. It wasn’t until eight hours later, at this very moment, that he woke up after surgery.
“Eh? Wait… did I forget something?”
Thinking of this, his heart sank. He quickly sensed his heart. “Damn it!”
[Remaining Vitality: 63 minutes]
“It’s over, it’s all over!”
With a thud, he rolled off the bed and rushed out of the hospital room.
He had no time to think about the ‘unborn wife’. Finding the World-Ending Witch was the priority!
