Hong Huang: I am the cowherd

Chapter 2 - I Want It All!



Chapter 2 I Want It All!

Upon hearing the system’s three choices, Su Chen saw a selection panel in his mind displaying the options given by the system. First, he immediately ruled out the first option.

The reward was a single Peento peach, which, while capable of extending his life for thousands of years, would not allow him to become an immortal. The second option was highly tempting—a Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which could help one break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, transcend fate, and achieve eternal life.

However, compared to Pangu’s heart blood, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was insignificant. One drop of heart blood was equivalent to 100 drops of ordinary blood. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from Pangu’s blood essence, making them extraordinarily powerful.

If Su Chen could obtain a drop of Pangu’s heart blood, his future potential would be hundreds of times greater than that of the Ancestral Witches. Achieving sainthood and standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial World would no longer be just a dream. Thus, in a flash, Su Chen made his choice.

“System, I choose the third option!”

“Whoosh!”

As soon as Su Chen spoke, the options in his mind disappeared, leaving only the third choice.

[Ding! Choice successful. Please complete the task smoothly tomorrow!

If the task fails, there will be no reward and no punishment.].

Hearing the system’s notification, Su Chen couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

Even if he failed the mission, there was no penalty—this system was surprisingly humane. However, for the sake of his future, he had to steal all seven fairy maidens’ clothes no matter what!

Before noon, an old ox approached Su Chen.

“Su Chen, quickly get on my back!”

Without hesitation, Su Chen climbed onto the ox’s back.

“The Silver River Pool is located on a celestial star in the firmament. We must fly to reach it. To avoid any accidents, you must not open your eyes, or the consequences will be dire!”

“Alright!”

At this moment, Su Chen became even more convinced that the old ox was extraordinary. However, his top priority was completing his mission. As for the ox’s identity and origin, he would think about that later. Holding tightly onto the ox’s hump, Su Chen closed his eyes.

Despite hearing the roaring wind, he felt no air resistance at all. Moments later, the ox stopped.

“Su Chen, quickly hide by the third tree next to the Silver River Pool. The seven fairy maidens will arrive soon. Remember to take the youngest maiden’s clothes—do not take the wrong ones!”

At this moment, Su Chen opened his eyes and was stunned by the scene before him.

The place was truly like a celestial paradise, filled with ethereal mist and boundless divine energy. The Silver River Pool emitted a refreshing fragrance that was both intoxicating and surreal.

“Stop daydreaming! Remember what I just told you!”

The old ox nudged Su Chen with its horns, urging him to hide behind the third tree. Then, in the blink of an eye, the ox vanished as if it had never been there.

About half an hour later, seven colorful clouds descended from the sky, and seven breathtakingly beautiful fairy maidens appeared by the Silver River Pool.

Upon seeing them, Su Chen finally understood what true celestial beauty was. No goddess or celebrity on Earth could even qualify to carry the shoes of these fairy maidens.

“How long has it been since we last came to the Silver River Pool? Today, we must take a good bath and relax while bonding as sisters!”

The eldest sister among them was dignified and elegant, exuding a noble aura.

“Big sister is right! The affairs of the Heavenly Court keep us busy, and it’s rare for us to gather like this. Today, we must celebrate together!”

“Agreed! Let’s have a joyous day!”

With that, the seven fairy maidens began removing their clothes, neatly placing them aside, before gracefully diving into the Silver River Pool.

Silver ripples spread across the water, creating a mesmerizing and dreamlike scene. At the same time, Su Chen was completely dumbfounded. The fairy maidens were only a few meters away from his hiding spot.

Everything was visible to him—clear and vivid. For a moment, Su Chen’s mind went completely blank. Despite being so close, the fairy maidens remained oblivious to his presence. Clearly, this was the work of the old ox’s mysterious powers.

“Hehehe!”

“Haha, this is so much fun!”

The seven fairy maidens splashed and played joyfully in the water, their laughter crisp and melodious. Their laughter finally brought Su Chen back to his senses. Suppressing his excitement, he remembered his mission.

Stealthily, he crept forward and—without hesitation—snatched up all seven sets of clothes. Then, he waited for the fairy maidens to notice. About half an hour later, the fairy maidens had finished playing and prepared to get dressed.

“What’s going on? Our clothes are gone!”

Whoosh!

Upon realizing that their garments had vanished, the seven fairy maidens were struck with terror, their beautiful faces turning pale. The eldest sister quickly regained her composure and instructed her younger sisters to stay submerged in the pool to avoid being seen.

She then activated her divine sense to search for the culprit. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t detect who had taken their clothes.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Su Chen leisurely stepped out from behind the tree, holding the seven sets of clothes in his arms.

“Fairy maidens, I just happened to find these clothes. Do they belong to you?”

“Who are you?”

The eldest sister’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, as if she wanted to tear Su Chen apart. Likewise, the other six fairy maidens were equally enraged and embarrassed.

It was obvious—this man had stolen their clothes unnoticed, meaning he had also seen everything. To preserve their dignity, one of the fairy maidens prepared to attack and eliminate Su Chen.

Buzz!

However, Su Chen released a powerful energy, rendering them unable to break through his defense.

What is Su Chen doing? I told him to stay hidden! Why did he reveal himself?

Meanwhile, outside the pool’s perimeter, the old ox sensed the murderous aura and couldn’t help but feel curious.

“Seven fairy maidens, if you want your clothes back, there’s a simple condition.”

“What condition?”

The eldest sister decided to probe further before taking any action.

“You must all marry me!”

Boom!

Hearing Su Chen’s words, the seven fairy maidens were utterly dumbfounded.

“You shameless scoundrel!”

“You have no shame!”

Instantly, all seven fairy maidens’ faces turned red with anger and humiliation. Meanwhile, outside the pool, the old ox was so shocked by Su Chen’s audacity that it nearly stumbled.

“This brat is outrageous! He actually dares to demand that all seven fairy maidens marry him?”

“These are the seven adopted daughters of the Heavenly Emperor—Heaven’s seven princesses! If they all marry a mortal, it would be an even greater humiliation to the Heavenly Court than if just one of them did!”

The old ox’s large, round eyes were filled with disbelief as it pondered the feasibility of such an event. Just as everyone was still in shock, the system’s melodious notification sounded in Su Chen’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, master! You have successfully completed the selection. Your reward has been sent. Please check your inventory!].
