Destiny Location- In her body.]
At this moment, Ken was stunned.
'System, what do you mean by showing two different levels of luck? Is it like a hidden luck? And, why is curse her next destiny?'
'Isn't Destiny supposed to be a good thing for others?'
[Her true luck is Silver. But because her luck is tied with the Dimensional God, the Universe deprived her of her true luck.]
[And, you have a deep misunderstanding, Host. Destiny doesn't mean good luck. It just means something that can change their lives.]
[Whether it is for the better or for the worse. Your mother is now cursed by the fate of the Ancient Demon God.]
[The more she tries to use its power, the stronger she will get and the easier it will be for the Ancient Demon God to take over her.]
[That's why the location of her destiny is in her body.]
Although he didn't accept her as a mother, she was his mother. He couldn't just let some Ancient Demon God control his mother so easily.
But knowing he wouldn't be able to do anything, he immediately asked his system.
'System, is there a way for me to help her?'
[Host, you need to be stronger than her and control her emotions.]
Ken thought for a moment.
'From what you told me, my Touch of Passion has awakened her hidden traits. Her thoughts have gotten dangerous.'
'If I want to control her thoughts, I have to have control over her. Wait, are you telling me about using that method?'
Ken finally understood the system's hint. After all, he had received Grant's memories and knew how sex could control both men and women.
If used correctly, in any world, they could get to a position that was envied by most. Obtain wealth and power that could only be dreamed of by others.
He knew a person who did just that.
Empress! Also known as a Slut Empress!
She was the only person who came from the same city as him and became the Empress after reaching the Emperor Realm.
And, she was one year younger than him.
She was born with the Nine Yin Cauldron Body. That was the name of her physique, and it was unique for dual cultivation.
She was born in a small yet rich family, but her mother was accused of cheating. It was a strategy used by her aunt to destroy her mother's reputation.
And, it worked. Her husband believed in her aunt since both were his wives. He kicked her mother out of the house alongside her.
Then, they lived a miserable life.
Her mother had no choice but to use everything she had to earn money for survival, including her body.
Empress saw this at the small age of ten. When she was fourteen, her mother died.
She worked in a small restaurant as a waitress. She was beautiful, but it wasn't enough to entice others with just her looks.
But that all changed when she turned sixteen. Her physique was awakened, and she began attracting lustful looks from others.
And, someone did force her. But before that could happen, a passing cultivator saw this and stopped them.
She killed the man and took the girl to her house.
It wasn't out of pity but for her own son.
It turned out she knew this physique and knew it would be a huge resource for her son.
So, she forced the girl to marry her son and become his dual cultivation partner.
Although she was forced, the Empress had learned to use everything she could to survive and grow.
And that's exactly what she did.
But she wasn't just satisfied with the boy. She even seduced the boy's cousins, his father, uncles, and almost every male in the family.
And, she did it with such secrecy that until her power grew beyond the family, nobody knew about her nature.
They learned found out because she decided to gain her freedom. She still kept the boy, who was her husband, as her first dual cultivation partner.
She didn't kill that family since they changed her life. She didn't mind using her body if it could make her stronger.
And, so, she went on a hunt for talented and young people.
Many times, she even forced the entire family to serve her, reducing them to the status of her Dual Cultivation cauldron.
She, who bears the physique with the word cauldron on it, made everyone else her cauldron.
A tool for her rise to power!
In just fifty years, she had sex with many powerful people. Many controlled themselves and didn't become her slaves.
But some couldn't. Her body was just too enticing.
Even if she asked them to kill themselves, they would do it. That's how impressive her physique was.
Within fifty years, she reached the Emperor Realm. Then, she established an organization called 'Pleasure District'.
It was basically a small town full of brothels and drinking houses. More importantly, none of the women in her organization were forced.
She had experienced the helplessness of being forced to do something that she didn't like.
While she might have come to terms with sex, others weren't like her.
She knew that. So, she established that rule, and for the next one hundred and fifty years, nobody who broke that rule survived.
Ken knew the Empress's story because it was used to inspire many women in this world.
Empress came from a background as bad as his. But with one talent, she was able to surpass most people.
Simply because she utilized that very talent to its absolute limit.
And, Ken had multiple talents now.
If he couldn't even learn to utilize them all, he should just plunge the sword into his stomach and die.
Because that's just a waste of resources.
Even Ken realized this and deeply agreed with it.
'You are right, system. Since I have tools, I have to use them. Only strength matters in this world.'
'I have faced helplessness after helplessness, weakness after weakness. Every night in my early twenties, I cried for not having enough talent.'
'This world is far more dangerous, far more cruel. If I let these moralities bound me, I will never succeed.'
'There are two roads in front of me. A road full of happiness and success, and a road full of struggle and success.'
'Fuck! I am going to choose the road full of happiness and success.'
Ken thought to himself as he closed his eyes.
"Are you afraid of me, Ken?"
Qingying stared at him with misty eyes and asked.
Ken felt speechless when he saw her acting cute, but replied nonetheless.
"No! Is it really evening? I am feeling hungry."
"Oh! Then, let me make you a meal. You haven't eaten my handmade food for thirteen years."
Qingying excitedly went to the small stove. But looking at a bag of rice and nothing more, she frowned.
She knew her son was living a low-key and difficult life, but this felt different.
She never got this close to him. She just watched him from afar and hoped he would live a good life.
'He must be scared of others stealing his money. I know he has enough money, but he hasn't bought much.'
'He must have been used to living a poor life.'
She gritted her teeth, feeling frustrated at herself. If only she hadn't given him up for adoption.
Only if she had taken care of him instead of going out for her revenge.
"Are you unhappy? There is nothing to feel bad about it. Thousands and thousands of people are living the life like I do."
"Until my memories broke, I never considered myself special. Anyway, just make the rice. I will bring some vegetables and meat."
Ken spoke before leaving the house.
He was going to the nearby forest. It was a small forest, and students were encouraged to use this forest as a garden.
He had a small place for himself.
He went to that place and picked up some tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili, cabbage, and some cucumbers.
Then, he went inside the forest where a large number of animals were kept. These animals were either chicken or rabbit, or boar or even deer.
But there was one strict rule. While hunting these animals, the disciples weren't allowed to use any spiritual energy or their martial arts.
If they were found breaking this rule, they would be fined with 10000 spiritual stones.
This was why, despite a few opportunities coming his way, Ken still settled and became the Sect Leader of the Golden Dragon Sect.
