Seized by the System

In the South of China at the Spirit Valley, there was a green piece of land covered in mist.

Near the foot of Spirit Valley was a small city. The famous ‘Happiness Clinic’ was found in this little city which was previously unknown.

The city was now known by a new name because of the clinic and it was called…’Happiness City’.

Since averting several catastrophes, the city developed very quickly because of the clinic.

People all around the world who were born with the ‘wrong’ gender, flooded here.

Tourism and culture progressed in this open city that was slowly gaining a place in the world.

This very afternoon in Happiness City at Happiness Clinic, there came a happy couple of husband and wife.

The man was dapper in appearance and looked like a gentleman while the lady was petite and docile, and looked like a good wife and mother.

Patients lining up outside the clinic noticed the couple… No one could figure out why a perfect couple like them would visit the clinic.

Could it be that this couple was planning to trade their roles?

This looked interesting.

Some patients smiled understandingly. After all, it takes a lot of determination to come to this clinic. People with this determination are few and are normally rejected by the mainstream.

“Next,” a robust sounding little girl can be heard from within the clinic.

“Coming, Physician Daqing. Sorry to trouble you.” a voice looking to please was heard. The long line of people proceeded to crowd towards the voice.

“Looks like there are quite a lot of people.” Qi Hui frowned. She did not like crowded places.

“Yes, Buwei did mention previously that people with mismatched genders all around the world will gather here. Compared to Earth’s population, the ratio of people here is quite low but it is still considered a high number. If it weren’t for the expensive fee, this place would have been full to the brim.” Shang Ruoyu shook his head.

“Oh no, I wonder how long we need to queue up for.” Qi Hui agonized.

If it were her sister, she would have stomped her feet in anger, chased everyone away and then demanded the physician to serve only her.

But Qi Hui was much more gentle in nature. She would never do something like that.

“Hi, would you two masters like a place at the front?” a middle-aged man observing them approached carefully.

Was this a conman? Shang Ruoyu shook his head.

“How much would it be?” he asked.  ( AllNovel )

“For the price of a Dragon Clan Honey-Flavored Pill.” the middle-aged man’s eyes glistened and he made an exorbitant demand.

“What…” many who were lining up exclaimed in shock.

“You are a black-hearted conman, you asked for only one Vitality Herb the day before yesterday. Yet today you are already requesting for a Dragon Clan Honey-Flavored Pill?” someone questioned with righteous indignation.

“Mind your own business, what do you mortals know? It’s a different price every day, don’t you know?” the middle-aged man gave a wave of his hand, ignoring everybody.

It seemed that he was also a cultivator, otherwise, he would not be asking for the Dragon Clan Honey-Flavored Pill. He had even managed to recognize Shang Ruoyu and his wife as Masters who was in possession of such a pill.

“Oh, my disciples have indeed given me a few bottles of this pill,” Shang Ruoyu was not one to haggle, especially in front of his wife.

He opened his palm and a small, light red bottle appeared. A pill fell out of the bottle.

“Here, take it,” Shang Ruoyu gave a push with his hands and the pill flew towards the middle-aged conman.

“Thank you, you are indeed a Master, very generous. Follow me, I guarantee you will be the first in line.” the middle-aged conman grabbed the pill and brought the two of them to the front of the line.

Everyone who saw this was envious but were helpless to do anything.

There was no other option. This group were no ordinary conmen, they were at least Mug-level, considered the lowest level of cultivators.

They had basically no hope of leveling up, which was why they grabbed any opportunity available to obtain resources for cultivation.

Happiness Clinic’s business was prosperous because this kind of clinic was the only one available within the three realms.

This was why many cultivators visited the clinic to change their gender. Some wanted to experience different ways of cultivating, while others were looking to take a short-cut…

They were able to get away from the Dragon God’s inspection in heaven as this activity was not considered evil. The Dragon God found it pointless to get involved. As for other Masters, it would not seem wise to teach them a lesson in this case.

This was the reason for the conmen settling down here. Otherwise, they would not care for the money they gained operating here as the amount was considered too small for them.

…

“Oh, this is a little challenging. I’ve only made the conversion for human beings before, never spirits,” a green insect the size of a palm sitting on a table in the clinic’s office said to the two with some distress.

“No matter what, please do help us, Miss Daqing. We can discuss the payment. There may not be much on Azure Mountain but we do have many treasures and pills, and also plenty of valuables…” Shang Ruoyu said with confidence.

This was one fat goat, fatter than old cotton. Chong Daqing was delighted upon hearing this.

“No problem, please wait a moment while I consult Sis Piggy.” the great green insect assured them and immediately climbed into the room next door to make a phone call…

“It looks like this is a noblewoman from the Celestial Clan of the Upper Realm. She seems to be on good terms with Tian Zhu,” Qi Hui said thoughtfully.

“Haha, that Celestial Guardian Beast is not a mere white lotus flower…” Shang Ruoyu shook his head.

Not long after, Chong Daqing returned in excitement.

“Okay, I’ve already consulted Sis Piggy and she said that regardless of Gods, Saints, Devils, and Demons, as long as there is a male and female, conversion is possible. Jade White Piggy is indeed my treasure.” Chong Daqing explained excitedly.

Shang Ruoyu nodded at his wife and said, “That is good news. Do help us convert this Spirit King into a woman.”

At this, he took out a small white flag, which was billowing with a cold wind, there seemed to be a big and powerful spirit hovering within.

A lethal problem appeared.

Spirit King Bao Lidao appeared on the flag, begging, “Please spare my life, dear patriarch. Ever since I joined the clan, I have done my duty and have never slacked at work. Please let me go.”

Qi Hui could not bear it and turned her head away.

There were things she had to give up for the sake of her sister, including this rare moment of benevolence.

Shang Ruoyu replied lightly, “The moment you joined Azure Mountain, you belong to us. Spirits who join us would also naturally belong to Azure Mountain and be at our disposal. But don’t worry, in lieu of your contribution, I will conduct a 49-day prayer for you after your passing. I guarantee you will be reborn into a good family.”

What a hypocrite!

Spirit King Bao Lidao thought this of Shang Ruoyu but did not dare to voice it out.

He deeply regretted his lust for power and his love for vanity, both of which steered him to join Azure Mountain.

He had thought it would just be a matter of suffering a bout of humiliation. He was a spirit anyway, so it was not much of a problem for him.

Who knew that he would end up sacrificing his life…

No matter how great the clan was, if he were dead, what good would that be?

‘If it was the case of reincarnating your sister, just let her be reborn into a good family, why would you need to sacrifice me, the Spirit King?’

He was cursing in his heart but was too afraid to voice out his thoughts even when facing death because they were too powerful. It was lowly, pathetic and pitiful.

Right at that moment, he heard a voice that seemed to come from heaven.

He was familiar with this voice but had always dismissed it. Only now did he understood how precious this voice sounded.

“Your blatant disregard for spirit life in broad daylight has truly disappointed me. You look like a gentleman but are in fact, a vile person…”

That being said, it somehow sounded like the voice did not truly mean it.

Shang Ruoyu frowned the moment he heard the voice and turned towards the window at the right.

The next moment saw Vigilante A crashing through the window.

“Uh, Great Azure Dragon, you’ve broken my window. You’ll need to repay me by buying me a meal,” said Chong Daqing the moment she saw what happened. She seemed happy rather than angry.

Fang Ning was speechless upon hearing what she said. ‘I’d rather pay you for ten of these windows than buy you a meal.’
