**Volume One: First Steps into Another World**

Xue'er felt like she was going crazy. What sin had she committed in her past life to encounter such a guy? "Today, I will not only kill you but also cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

Rage from Xue'er: 500!

Zu An wanted to continue milking more rage points, but before he knew it, the other party attacked him like an arrow shot from a bow.

"So fast!"

He had no time to dodge and quickly channeled all his cultivation power to block in front of him.

Their fists and palms met. Zu An immediately felt as if he'd been hit by a speeding car. He was sent flying a great distance, his hands feeling as though they were about to break. He struggled to get up but coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

This little brat, with her small arms and legs, actually has such great strength!

At this moment, Xue'er was no less surprised than he was. She looked at the red mark on her palm, recalled the opponent's strength, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, your cultivation has actually reached the third rank!"

Zu An felt his qi churning within him, yet he grinned and said, "How about that? Did you realize I'm actually a hidden genius? And then, seeing how exceptionally handsome I am today, you couldn't help but develop feelings for me?"

"Feelings, my foot!"

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 211!

Xue'er, her face grim, rushed over and kicked him again, sending him flying into the air, where he spun a few times before landing on the ground.

"Zu, you have successfully infuriated me. Today, I won't let you die easily. I'll make you suffer so much you'll wish for death but cannot find it!"

Zu An thought, 'This little brat holds quite a grudge.' He secretly took out the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" and was about to wipe it when his expression suddenly froze. He had just remembered a crucial detail.

He currently carried an enormous IOU for 7.5 million taels. There were probably few people in the entire Brightmoon City wealthier than him. Even if this 7.5 million taels wasn't counted in his total wealth because it couldn't be cashed immediately, he still had 150,000 taels in silver notes on him.

However, the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" had a prerequisite for activation: it was only effective against women wealthier than himself.

Xue'er was just a maid. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way she could be wealthier than him, right?

The reason he had been so calm earlier was because of this item.

He recalled that when he faced Pei Mianman, a Fifth-Rank master, he had managed to endure solely by continuously combining the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" with the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture. No matter how powerful Xue'er was, she couldn't possibly be stronger than the widely renowned genius Pei Mianman, right?

But he had completely overlooked the fact that he had just acquired a huge sum of money, making the situation suddenly perilous.

Thinking this, he still asked, unwilling to give up, "Um, may I ask how much wealth you possess in total?"

Xue'er paused, stunned. She had considered many possibilities but had never expected him to ask such a question. "What business is it of yours how much money I have? But I know that after I kill you, I'll become very rich."

Zu An secretly sighed. It seemed he really couldn't use the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball." Having experienced its power, he was reluctant to waste an opportunity under uncertain circumstances.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Zu An's mind raced, devising a counter-strategy while trying to extract information from his opponent. With victory seemingly in her grasp, she might just let something slip in her arrogance.

"A despicable, shameless, and lewd person like you — everyone wants to kill you!" Xue'er said through gritted teeth.

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 99!

Zu An was taken aback, never expecting her resentment towards him to reach such a degree. 'Am I, the dashing and handsome one, truly that detestable?' he wondered.

"Are you trying to stall for time? Don't even dream about it!" Xue'er snorted coldly and charged directly at him, deciding to break his limbs first.

To her surprise, Zu An rolled over and dodged. They exchanged several more blows. Although he was spitting blood from her attacks, Xue'er began to doubt reality: 'What's going on? His injuries are clearly getting worse, yet his strength and speed feel significantly improved compared to before, almost on par with mine?'

Zu An knew this was the effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, which could unleash immense power even when severely injured. However, without the protection of the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball," he didn't know when he might truly kick the bucket. So, he was ready to summon Brother Chun's blessing at any moment.

"Do you possess some secret technique?" Xue'er asked. There were indeed skills in the world that could unleash immense combat power for a short time, but each came with severe negative side effects. She wondered which one he possessed.

"If you call me 'Big Brother' a few more times, perhaps I'll tell you," Zu An said with a smile.

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 111!

"You're asking for death!"

Suddenly, a silver needle appeared in Xue'er's hand. The next second, countless silver needles seemed to appear before Zu An's eyes.

"Holy cow, is that the Pear Blossom Needles?!"

Zu An desperately dodged, but unfortunately, he was still pricked many times. Blood flowed incessantly, and he couldn't even hold his dagger, which clattered to the ground.

Xue'er sneered, "You have brute strength but no combat skills. You're just like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered."

Zu An fell silent. 'Was that a combat skill just now?' He had indeed never learned anything similar. He could clearly feel that with combat skills, similar strength and speed could unleash vastly different levels of power.

"A waste is always a waste. I don't know where you learned your cultivation, but this is the end for you," Xue'er said, a cold sneer playing on her lips. "Any last words before you die?"

Zu An spat out a mouthful of blood foam and chuckled, "Today you stabbed me with needles. Sooner or later, I'll stab you back."

"But you don't use needles…" Xue'er's smile abruptly froze as she finally understood what he meant by 'stab back.' Her face turned frosty. "I don't know whether to admire you or ridicule you. You're at death's door and still dare to take advantage of me."

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 404!

Zu An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a strange gaze. "How do you know I'll die?"

Xue'er snorted. "Do you have some hidden trump card? Bring it all out. I'll let you see for yourself."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if I do," Zu An said, already lacking strength and barely able to steady himself by leaning against the wall. "Have you ever been pregnant?"

Xue'er was first stunned, then furious. "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 303!

As an unmarried young woman, being asked by a man if she had ever been pregnant, she decided in her heart that she would skin him alive and tear out his tendons later to finally vent her hatred.

A strange smile appeared on Zu An's lips. "I can make you pregnant."

At this point, Xue'er was numb. She couldn't even be bothered to get angry, looking at him as if he were already dead.

She walked directly over, looking down at him. "Hand over the IOU, and perhaps…"

She had only spoken half her sentence when she suddenly froze, then unnaturally touched her stomach. 'What's happening? This distended, heavy feeling?'

Immediately after, she felt her stomach swell, yet visibly, her belly remained flat. Then, she involuntarily leaned back, and waves of aches and pains radiated through her lower back.

"What have you done to me?"

Xue'er finally felt a surge of panic. This sensation was completely unprecedented and utterly beyond her comprehension.

Zu An smiled. "I told you I could make you pregnant. Why didn't you believe me?"

He had just confirmed he couldn't turn the tide with his own strength, so he seized the opportunity to activate "Stare-to-get-pregnant." In his mind, he secretly noted a warning: 'So, activating this skill doesn't immediately cause severe pain; it first induces the sensation of pregnancy. It seems I need to account for this pre-effect when using it in the future.'

Xue'er naturally didn't believe anything about pregnancy. Just as she was about to strike, a sudden, sharp pain flared in her lower abdomen.

"Ah!"

Although she tried her best to restrain herself, this pain was utterly unbearable. She immediately bent over and squatted down, even feeling an urge to lie down and roll around.

Seeing her clutching her abdomen in agony, her small face deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appearing on her smooth forehead, Zu An seized the opportunity and leaped towards her.

He had been beaten quite badly just now, so Zu An dared not be careless in the slightest and quickly engaged her in close combat.

Xue'er's expression changed. She quickly raised her hand, intending to push him away, but the bone-deep pain from her lower abdomen caused her movements to falter, slowing her down a step. As a result, she was directly tackled by her opponent.

Pinned directly beneath him, Xue'er's face turned pale with alarm. She quickly reached for his back, aiming to attack, but the intense pain wracking her body slowed her strength and speed by an immeasurable amount compared to before.

The moment she lifted her hand, her wrist was firmly pinned to the ground by her opponent. She tried to struggle, but for some unknown reason, his strength had suddenly become no less than hers. Her own strength was difficult to utilize at 100%, and with his weight pressing down on her, the disparity meant that her continuous squirming served no purpose other than to give him an advantage.

Zu An had to admit that while this young girl was a bit fierce, her figure was genuinely good. Although not as exaggerated as Pei Mianman's, she excelled in her slender and lithe physique, radiating the vitality of a youthful maiden.

For a moment, he actually felt a little reluctant to kill her.

"What exactly have you done to me?" Xue'er's face was flushed. She had realized that her struggles and twists were doing nothing but providing pleasure to her opponent.

"I told you I'd let you experience the feeling of pregnancy. Why didn't you believe me?" Zu An watched her, weak with pain, and thought, 'This thing is really exaggerated. I wonder what it's like when it affects a man?'

"Shameless!" Xue'er was both mortified and enraged. Unaware of the "Stare-to-get-pregnant" ability, she only thought her opponent was deliberately taking advantage of her, as in her understanding, there was only one way to get pregnant in this world.

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 798!

"You can kill me, but my resistance is shameless?" Zu An sneered. "Tell me, who sent you?"

Xue'er turned her face to the side, secretly gathering strength, waiting to unleash a sudden strike to turn the tables. But just as she accumulated some primal energy, another wave of intense pain surged through her lower abdomen, and the primal energy she had painstakingly gathered immediately dissipated.

What was going on? This pain wasn't just continuous; it also came in waves, reaching peaks?

But as an unmarried young woman, no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn't possibly guess that this was the peculiar sensation of childbirth.

"Not going to tell me? Then I'll strip you naked and leave you outside for everyone in Brightmoon City to see," Zu An said.

Xue'er was both shocked and enraged. "You wouldn't dare!"

Rage from Qiao Xueying: 999!
