"Ugh… so soft…"
In his hazy consciousness, Wu Chen instinctively hugged the nearby soft object, a faint feminine scent filling the air around him.
At the same time, he felt an extremely soft and comfortable texture on his hands.
"What is this place?"
"I remember I seemed to have lost consciousness before."
Wu Chen gradually woke up, looking around with confusion.
Morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the dark purple curtains, illuminating the dim environment.
The spacious room was luxuriously decorated with an exotic style, adorned with many cute ornaments. He was lying on a soft, large bed with gauzy curtains.
The unfamiliar surroundings made him wonder where he had ended up.
"Right, what was that soft feeling just now?"
Wu Chen suddenly remembered the soft texture he felt when he woke up and quickly looked to his side.
He saw Litia, wearing a thin gauze dress, with her black hair spread out on the pillow. She seemed to be immersed in a pleasant dream.
Fortunately, since Litia was here, it looked like he was still in the game.
He must have been taken to some high-end hotel by her after losing consciousness.
Seeing his familiar wife, Wu Chen relaxed a bit.
"Hoohoo, humans, fear me! I will rule over all! Even the goddesses will kneel at my feet!"
Litia's lips curled slightly in her sleep, looking very pleased and proud as if she were dreaming of something grand.
"Hey, Litia, wake up, stop daydreaming."
Wu Chen looked at her cute yet charming sleeping face and chuckled softly.
He then reached out and gently patted her on the butt.
"Who dares touch the witch's ass? Are you tired of living!?"
"Who are you? How dare you enter my private chambers?"
Litia's eyes snapped open, and when she saw a stranger lying next to her in bed, her expression shifted to one of vigilance and anger.
"Are you still in a daze? Can't even recognize your own husband?"
Wu Chen reached out and pinched Litia's tender cheek.
"Husband? What are you talking about? How could a witch have a husband? Who are you? Another deluded goddess sent someone to assassinate me?"
Litia floated up into the air, her gaze cold as she watched the unfamiliar intruder.
"To have infiltrated my chamber without me noticing, your skills are commendable, but unfortunately, you are just a weak human."
"With just one finger, I can turn you into nothing."
A terrifying pressure was released in an instant, and the entire room was shrouded in chaotic shadows.
Under the sunlight's projection, shadows writhed and transformed into countless dark tentacles.
On the walls, curtains, furniture, and bed linens, horrifying eyes and gaping, bloody mouths appeared, all staring intently at Wu Chen.
"This is how you talk to your husband? Strange, I remember setting the modification so you would address me as your master."
Wu Chen tilted his head and pinched Litia's cheek again.
"Very well! You have thoroughly angered me! I was going to ask which goddess sent you and let you live a bit longer. Now, just die!"
Litia's face turned red with rage and embarrassment.
She placed her hand on Wu Chen's forehead, and an astonishing flow of magical energy erupted from her palm.
The dark purple light filled every corner of the room in an instant.
The entire luxurious bed was shattered by the residual waves of magical energy.
"An unpleasant morning. My subordinates couldn't even detect the intrusion of a mere human. It seems I need to punish them properly."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch… Why are you so unruly today, my dear wife?"
Litia clapped her hands authoritatively and turned to leave, but she froze upon hearing a sound behind her.
"This, how is this possible? You're just a human, and you're still alive!?"
Litia spun around in shock to see Wu Chen, who was lying in the debris of the bed, looking completely unharmed.
"What's happening… suddenly I'm so hot… This is the marriage contract, how could this be!?"
At the same time, she noticed a strange pink heart-shaped magical rune gradually appearing on her lower abdomen beneath her transparent gauze dress. A delicate gemstone ring suddenly appeared on her finger.
"Magic torrent!"
"Magic torrent!!"
"Magic torrent——!!!"
Countless magic circles appeared in the void, spewing pure magical energy like laser cannons. Yet, Wu Chen seemed unaffected, as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Desire for survival, deprivation!"
Seeing that simple magical attacks were ineffective, Litia activated one of her witch powers.
As the Desire Witch, she could harness all human desire!
The survival deprivation spell not only extinguishes the enemy's fighting spirit but also devours their desire to increase her own health.
Countless enormous mouths bit at Wu Chen but were unable to touch him, as if gnawing at an illusion.
"Desire for survival, deprivation!!"
With the spell still ineffective, Litia intensified her efforts. As her potent magic radiated, the weather outside darkened, and countless giant mouths expanded, emerging from the void and spreading over the surrounding wilderness.
Any life forms passing through the illusory giant mouths would have their essence torn apart.
The wild beasts and monsters outside, having lost their will to survive, let out desperate howls, leaping off cliffs, crashing into giant trees and mountains, and attacking themselves with magic, cruelly ending their own lives.
In the end, all that was left in the wilderness were the corpses of monsters that had committed suicide in mysterious ways.
Despite the intense magical energy and widespread range, Wu Chen at the center remained unaffected.
"Litia, are you alright?"
Wu Chen, looking confused, stood up and walked toward her.
What was wrong with Litia today? Just recently, she had been… uh, let's say "trained" to be obedient and well-behaved. Why was she causing trouble again all of a sudden?
Has the rebellious phase of his wife begun?
The once formidable and fearsome final boss witch, who could make the entire demon race tremble with a single word, now looked like a helpless little girl, fearfully watching Wu Chen approach step by step.
"D-Don't come closer—!!"
Wu Chen pinned Litia's arms and pressed her against the wall.
Litia struggled wildly, her hands, which could easily shatter the earth and tear the sky, inexplicably lacking strength.
Thousands of shadowy tendrils attacked Wu Chen but stopped dead as soon as they came near him.
"Since you're being disobedient, it looks like a proper lesson is needed."
Wu Chen skillfully lifted Litia and placed her on his lap by the edge of the bed, starting to spank her.
"How dare you insult this noble me!"
"I will kill you! I swear I will kill you!"
The gaping bloody mouths that appeared in the surrounding void roared with sharp, piercing sounds in response to the witch's rage.
"Meow~ Meow meow~~"
But Wu Chen gave the gaping mouths a sidelong glance, and they immediately started making meowing, cute noises.
"Game system, bring up Litia's status bar. I want to see if there are any abnormalities."
Wu Chen held Litia firmly against him, trying to access the in-game system.
The successful spanking gave Wu Chen an ominous feeling.
In this usually wholesome, all-ages game, even if you crouched down to peek under a girl's skirt, there would immediately be a full-screen warning blocking your view.
Yet now, he had successfully spanked the witch's butt without any warning from the system, which was highly unusual.
The game's censorship system was world-renowned; it even operated normally during server crashes, game freezes, or system errors.
There was no reason for it to fail now.
[Dear Master, Hello. As you have successfully completed the game, you have been chosen as the best candidate to save this world!]
[We hope you will continue to strive and defeat the witch forces again soon!]
[Note: All marriage statuses in the game will be preserved in reality through the self-sacrifice of a great being, but due to insufficient magical power, some functions remain inactive. Please try to repair them yourself.]
What's going on?
Is today some kind of April Fool's Day?
What is this nonsense about world-crossing rewards? What does it mean to defeat the witch forces again?
Wu Chen was bewildered by the sudden game announcement.
Even the act of spanking no longer felt satisfying.
"Open the system menu!"
"System? System, where are you?"
"Exit the game!"
Wu Chen shouted several times, but the game still did not respond.
Something was wrong. Not only was the game menu unresponsive, but the entire electronic system seemed to be unresponsive.
And then there was the content of this announcement…
Wu Chen swallowed hard and felt Litia's body.
Her skin was soft and elastic, feeling vivid and real, nothing like the slightly artificial sensation from the game.
He took a gentle sniff; the clear, faint fragrance was intoxicating.
Although the game itself was extremely realistic, there was an irreparable gap between the senses and reality.
Yet now his senses felt exactly the same as in reality.
Watching the struggling, shaking body on his lap, a cold sweat trickled down Wu Chen's forehead.
Could it be that this isn't a game, and just as the announcement said, this is indeed a genuine otherworld?
Have I crossed over?
Am I really spanking the butt of the final boss witch who has plunged the entire human world into chaos?
