In a motel room, Fang Yi woke up with a sharp pain all over his body. His muscles ached as if he had been run over by something. And, in fact, he actually had.
"I never thought my first time would be with a violent and crazy woman!" he whispered, and with great effort, tried to turn to the other side. With a crack, he managed.
"Owwww! Damn, my spine!"
Fang Yi couldn't help but curse, feeling as if he had broken a bone in his spine. That made him endure the pain and look at the naked woman in front of him.
She was beautiful. Her long hair was black as night, her face looked like a perfectly sculpted jade piece, her skin was crystal clear, and her breasts were of average size—neither too big nor too small. Her eyes were closed, and she was sleeping soundly.
Looking at that breathtaking scene, Fang Yi showed no reaction. He was too sore, but deep down, his eyes reflected a certain pride in having lost his virginity to a woman like her.
The night before, on his coming-of-age birthday, he drank for the first time with some friends. What he didn't expect was that his alcohol tolerance was so low. When he regained consciousness, he saw a woman riding him. It was shocking but also exhilarating. In the end, he was brutally defeated.
Now, how did he end up in this situation?
He had no idea. To make things worse, he couldn't even contact anyone—his phone was missing!
"I need to wake her up."
Determined, he raised his hand to her face and gently ran his fingers over her cheek before pinching her lightly.
"Hmmm~"
A soft moan escaped from the woman, making Fang Yi quickly withdraw his hand, startled.
The next moment, she opened her light blue eyes, as clear as the ocean, still with a sleepy expression.
"Why are you awake so early?" she yawned.
Fang Yi was speechless. He was completely at a loss for words in front of this strange woman. After taking a deep breath, he finally mustered the courage to speak:
"Aren't you feeling anything? We had se—"
A finger touched his lips, stopping him.
"Don't say lewd words," the strange woman said gently and looked at Fang Yi with interest.
"You!" Fang Yi felt his veins almost popping out. "Do you have nothing to say? We don't even know each other, and we did that! And to make things worse, I have no idea how I ended up in this situation!"
He was being honest as he looked at the woman, who suddenly began to shed tears.
"You're so cruel! You said all those sweet words, slept with me, took my virginity… and now you're pretending not to know me?" The woman looked heartbroken, tears streaming down her face.
The dramatic scene shocked Fang Yi, making him feel like a scumbag and an irresponsible man. When he glanced at the sheet, he saw a faint red stain, which only deepened his guilt.
"Don't cry." His heart softened, and he used his hands to wipe her tears away.
The strange woman smiled and hugged him tightly, like a bear.
"Hey… my body hurts!" He almost cried out in pain and sighed in relief when her embrace loosened a bit.
After feeling a little better, he placed his hand on her back.
"What's your name? Don't cry, okay? I was drunk last night and don't remember anything. Can you explain what happened?" Fang Yi asked gently, afraid of making her cry again.
The strange woman didn't respond, but her expression revealed resentment at Fang Yi for forgetting what he had said the night before.
"I'm sorry." Fang Yi hugged her too, with a gentle touch. "I didn't mean to hurt you, but try to understand my side a little, okay?" He looked defeated, strongly blaming his friends for giving him alcohol.
The strange woman nodded, indicating she understood. Fang Yi sighed once again and began stroking her black hair.
"What's your name?" he asked again.
"Xie Mingyue." She answered and rested her head on Fang Yi's chest, letting him play with her hair as much as he wanted.
"Well… can I ask what happened…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the entire room trembled. The scene left Fang Yi in shock.
Xie Mingyue, on the other hand, clung tightly to him. That snapped Fang Yi out of his daze, and he returned the hug. On the bed, the two were stuck together like glue while the world shook around them. Vehicles crashed into each other, people wet themselves in fear, and some clung desperately to light poles.
And then, something even more terrifying happened: the sky turned golden, completely replacing the blue. In the next instant, a voice echoed in everyone's mind.
[For unknown reasons and as a test for you, the Heavenly Dao has descended to Earth! All healthy people between sixteen and fifty years old will be sent to a cultivation world.]
[In this world, everyone will awaken their potential.]
[Good luck...]
As soon as the voice disappeared, the Heavenly Dao began emitting golden beams of light, falling from the sky like rain.
One of those beams struck Fang Yi and Xie Mingyue directly, pulling them up and making them disappear along with the light.
…
In an unknown location, filled with trees and the gentle chirping of birds, a golden light descended from the sky to the ground.
Bang!
A crater formed in the soil, scattering dirt in all directions. When the dust settled, a couple was revealed inside the pit, still hugging.
[Evaluating the potential of human number 1,972,786 from the small planet Earth...]

[Ding! Initial survival package delivered.]

[Basic Cultivation Manual]
After reading all this information on the golden interface, Fang Yi saw the items drop in front of him.
He quickly put on the robe to avoid being naked and then looked at Xie Mingyue with concern. He was also scared, but he knew he shouldn't show it.
"Are you okay?" He gently asked the woman lying on the ground, pulling her up. "For now, get dressed. Then, we'll sit down and figure out what's happening."
Xie Mingyue nodded and quickly put on a white dress. Then, she saw Fang Yi sitting on the ground and was pulled into his lap.
"Well… let's start with something important. Do you have a family? How many members?"
Fang Yi didn't want to start with this question, but considering the situation, it was necessary. They were in an unknown world, and trying to find someone would be extremely difficult and time-consuming.
"I'm an orphan."
"So am I."
Silence filled the air, neither of them saying anything. After a while, Fang Yi broke the silence.
"Do you read novels? This situation is just like one of them. We were transported to an unknown cultivation world. Are you scared?"
Xie Mingyue shook her head from side to side.
"I'm not. I was just surprised by everything—it happened so suddenly…"
"What do we do now?"
"Start cultivating? Since this is a cultivation world, it must be very dangerous. If we don't have strength, we'll die." Xie Mingyue seemed like a true otaku.
"Well, what if my potential is low? Will you abandon me?" Fang Yi asked, curious about her answer.
"Silly." Xie Mingyue placed her hand on his face and smiled. "I'm not a green tea girl. I don't care about your potential. Even if you're the weakest, I can protect you." She sounded confident.
"That won't be necessary!" Fang Yi grinned mischievously. If there was one thing he was sure of, it was that his potential—so mysterious even the Heavenly Dao couldn't evaluate it—was incredibly powerful!
