Chapter 1

Translated by boilpoil Edited by boilpoil

Bai Lianhua is quietly pondering how all this happened.

First, he’s named Bai Lianhua. Cough, yes, it sounds just like… white lotus .

Second, his looks are also a bit detached from his righteous inner self. He looks like a little white flower that would shake and flutter in the wind. Since the word white lotus has entered popular discourse with a new meaning, Bai Lianhua has often been the butt of jokes for it.

Unlike when he would flare up in anger at first, when the joke is used again and again, as frustrated as he still were, Bai Lianhua is getting used to it. Sometimes he even indulges in self-mockery going with the flow.

Perhaps it’s his growing numbness to this that has made him pay a heavy price this time.

That night, when he is about to fall asleep, Bai Lianhua thought he could hear someone talking, “I’ll call you white lotus, I dare you to respond to it.”

He was really sleepy then, and Bai Lianhua, who thought he was dreaming, hmphs, and thinks it’s a joke. Why would whether the pronunciation referred to Bai Lianhua or white lotus make him not brave enough to respond?

Then… he successfully meets a tragic end.

He got entangled with this damn system directly. He traverses all these mission worlds diligently working to act as a quiet white lotus character, and working hard to push all these antagonists who have had tragic pasts and experiences that would have gone against the world back to the path of righteousness, saving the world.

The key thing is, all these mission worlds feel abnormal to him, completely different to the world he is in.

Bai Lianhua doesn’t like this kind of life of transmigrating hither and dither. Even if he didn’t exactly have family in the real world, he still dearly missed his cosy little home, his relaxed life of staying home, and his computer that he would never feel tired of even if he saw it every day. These, in all his ridiculous mission worlds, are practically nonexistent.

Bai Lianhua has regretted about this time and time again. Why did he so stupidly respond to that call of white lotus that one time?

Finally, after he has gone through the last world the system said there were, he thought his mission was finally done and he could return. When he looked at the system expectantly, then…

The system whose job has only ever been to act cute wipes his face handsomely, then shows him a mystifying but classically antagonistic smile, “actually, my real name is Return System of White Moonlight .”

Bai Lianhua is stunned.

Especially so when he finished listening to the system’s explanations, which revealed to him that all those missions he’s completed were all just the set up for his missions to follow. Bai Lianhua feels he’s been deceived when he hears that he’ll have to return one by one to the worlds he has transmigrated to.

“Wait, what about that acting as a pure and flawless white lotus business? Weren’t you a White Lotus system?”

The system shakes his finger back and forth in a mysteriously dignified manner, “nay, nay. A white lotus host who doesn’t want to become a white moonlight is definitely not a good host. To pass as a white lotus is only the first stage of the ultimate mission of return of the white moonlight. Host, our goals lie in the vast seas and endless stars. Look higher and grander; don’t be trapped in our little previous objective.”

“I’ve heard, white lotus and white moonlight are great as a combo.”

Bai Lianhua is speechless “…” It made it sound as if he’d fly in the sky the next minute to stand alongside the Sun.

…

After having gone through the whole process of his tragedy in his mind, Bai Lianhua takes a deep breath. He really never wants to see the face of this damn system ever again, and never listen to it again.

——Though it’ll have to stop at thinking.

The truth is, after calming down, Bai Lianhua can only begrudgingly do as the system says, to complete the latter half of his missions. What else could he do? The system won’t send him back to his original world. Stay in this resting space forever? There’s nothing here, just a bunch of fog. It’s fine to rest here for a day or two between missions; it’s utterly boring after a while.

Even if he were succumbing to fate, however, he still can’t help but complain in his mind.

Returning as a white moonlight? How does someone do that? The fact is, he doesn’t even know when it was he had become this stupid white moonlight thing. He can’t be blamed for thinking this, because mainly the word ‘white moonlight’ carries some connotations. He’d better not get involved in some wild plot developments with body doubles and torturous love, and then delegate him into cannon fodder position.

Bai Lianhua swears he and all the protagonists were in a pure guide and be guided relationship. They have definitely never fallen in love with each other. He doesn’t exactly understand how this constitutes a white moonlight. Perhaps, the system has a different definition of white moonlight to him?

The system dodges his question, however, saying, “cough, something like body double is, you can be assured, complicated relationships like that are not something we do here… And in every world, there will be a surprise for you.”

Surprise? What surprise? After having seen the system change its face, for some reason, hearing it say this, Bai Lianhua has an ominous premonition.

No, he can’t mentally break down yet. Stay with me, stay with me, think about something good… Mm. Now that it’s already become like this, he is curious how the antagonists he has saved are doing right now.

After they have ventured into the wrong path, all these guys are capable of sundering the heavens and the earth in their worlds. Given he’s rectified their paths, they should instead become Gary Stus who have great achievements.

Now that he thinks like this, meeting them again might make him feel quite proud, no?

Will all these antagonists who have become good line up world by world, and give their gratitude to me, the good guy who has changed their lives for the better? Hehe, then that would be grand. It doesn’t seem to be too hard a fate to swallow.

Though how should he explain his situation to these antagonists after he meets them? Since he either died or became missing when he left each and every mission world.

Bai Lianhua looks at the system expectantly.

The system shows an innocent smile, “what a good question. Please work hard on it. You know, I’ve always been confident in you.” That utterly putrid stench of white lotus-ism is even denser coming from him than Bai Lianhua who’s an experienced expert in pretending to be one.

Bai Lianhua is speechless again “…” Alright then. He should have known there’s no such thing as a golden finger for him.

Though Bai Lianhua’s frustrated expression did land him a bit of convenience from the system, who told him that the first mission world for his return of white moonlight mission is the first world he went to as a white lotus, kind of like giving a proper ending. So he can be prepared mentally… though worlds to follow will be entirely randomised. Bai Lianhua will have to identify them himself after he transmigrates in.

In response to this result, Bai Lianhua says expressionlessly, “ho, how generous.”

“Hey, thanks for the compliment.” The system shows an expression of being a little bit embarrassed, and Bai Lianhua starts grinding his teeth seeing it.

He doesn’t have time to retort the stingy and shameless system though, and Bai Lianhua tries to recall the first world he transmigrated to.

It’s a cultivation world.

The cultivation realm is fiercely competitive. Cultivators seek to raise their cultivation amount as much as possible. If a cultivator is at all ambitious, then they would be cultivating at all times.

Those cultivators who have cultivated a great amount can even live as long as the heavens exist. Though one rank is one obstacle. Those cultivators who can’t reach the next rank when their age is up will end up like mortals, having to face death.

Given that the composition of cultivators’ bodies are special, what allows them to prolong their lives is extremely scarce, even more so for high level cultivators. Good things that could increase how long mortals live for are essentially the same as weed growing besides the road for cultivators.

Though there’s an exception to everything.

That would be the rare physical attribute of age complementation. This is an odd physical attribute to have, because it’s utterly useless to have it. Though after impurities in the body are expunged, it would allow cultivators of any cultivation amount to prolong their life without repercussions——though it’s useless for the common man.

And the more cultivation amount the one with the physical attribute of age complementation has, the better the effect of increasing longevity they have when their impurities are expunged.

In the cultivation realm, there have been few instances of people with age complementation bodies appearing, though their every appearance is followed by a fight between many cultivators for them. Those who reveal this physical attribute of their often end up badly as well – without exception, consumed by their masters when they reach a certain strength being kept in a pen.

One could say that possessing this unique physical attribute would destine their blood and flesh to be the best material for prolonging life. In the eyes of a cultivator, they’re basically not human, but a bunch of precious mobile resources for cultivation.

Think about it. You don’t have to take the risk of taking over someone else’s body or reincarnation failing and restarting your cultivation but still get some respite. If you’re lucky enough, you can increase your rank using this longevity you acquired for free, prolong the length of your life, and then continue to progress along the path of cultivation. What an alluring thing this is.

And clearly, cultivators whose lives are facing their end would act like someone drowning who managed to latch onto the last strand of straw. Nobody wants to think that they might be the one who’s not lucky enough to break through their rank.

What’s the worst for them is that before the rank of Jiedan , those with age complementation bodies have absolutely no way to conceal their own physical attribute. They can only hide their attributes after Jiedan and pretend to be no different from a normal cultivator. This practically cuts off the path for all cultivators with age complementation bodies, since cultivation requires time. As a human cultivator instead of a monster cultivator, none of them could be born already with cultivation amount. They’re like a treasure without defence. They’re basically always exposed and would lose their freedom before they make it to Jiedan on their own cultivation.

——Unfortunately, Wen Fu, Bai Lianhua’s mission objective in this world, is someone with an age complementation body.

Author’s notes: New novel on my birthday hehe, a kind of gift for myself =w=!

Cute angels look over here, a pure white lotus to take home, and buy one get one white moonlight for free~

Key sentence for this world: #In this world, the only one who can make me sacrifice myself, is you, even if I knew you came with ulterior motives#

PS: This first world is not as grand a world since I haven’t written for a long time so I’ll need a simple world to practice. It’s mainly wild plot developments. Later worlds will have wilder and wilder plot points, and be more and more interesting to read. My little angels, please don’t be scared by this first world. piupiupiu <3~
