After Transmigration, I Traded a Coin for a Peerless Wife and Conquered the Chaotic World - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: System Activated, Double Blessings Arrive!

What?!

He Caiwei was momentarily stunned. She lifted her tear-filled eyes in disbelief, staring at the man before her—his features firm yet gentle, his face clean and handsome.

“You’re not afraid… that I might bring you misfortune?” she asked softly, unable to suppress the question in her heart.

At this moment, with tears streaming down her cheeks like blossoms in the rain, she looked so fragile and pitiful that Lin Feng almost couldn’t resist pulling her into his arms.

Lin Feng said, “I’m not afraid. I only know that I must take you away today!”

He Caiwei gazed into his determined eyes and, for reasons she couldn’t explain, suddenly felt a deep sense of security. Then, as if she had made a decision, she tightly held his hand.

“What? Has this brat lost his mind? Choosing beauty over his life?”

“Lin Feng, are you crazy? Let go of her! You can’t handle her!”

“Brother, you’re brave, I’ll give you that. Daring to marry a woman with heterochromia? Don’t come crying to us when she brings you disaster!”

As soon as someone actually chose the heterochromatic woman, the scene exploded with noise.

Lin Feng replied calmly, “Hehe! I, Lin Feng, am born with tough fate. You lot don’t need to worry about me!”

Soon after, he and He Caiwei signed the official marriage certificate at the government office and paid a registration fee of ten copper coins. With that, their marriage was legally recognized.

Just then, a clear and pleasant electronic voice echoed in Lin Feng’s mind.

[Ding! A true man stands between heaven and earth with no fear. The Strongest Slaughter System has successfully bound. Slaughter to grow stronger!]

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Combat Power: Extremely low—undetectable by system]

[Comprehension: Mortal Rank (Ranks from low to high: Mortal, Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, King, Emperor, Sovereign)]

[Physique: Mortal Body (Physique levels: Copper Skin, Iron Bones, Silver Viscera, Golden Body, Myriad Form)]

[Martial Techniques: None]

[Slaughter Point: 0 (Killing grants Slaughter Point, which can be used to allocate points or exchange for martial techniques, pills, etc.)]

Holy crap. Double blessings!

A stunning wife by his side and a golden finger system to boot—Lin Feng felt like his formerly bleak life had instantly lit up.

[Ding! Starter gift pack loaded. Would the host like to open it?]

“Open it!” Lin Feng said eagerly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 cubic meter of portable space (expandable with points)]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining martial technique ‘Heaven-Slaughter Blade Technique’ (Tempering the martial heart through slaughter. Once mastered, one slash can kill thousands)]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Slaughter Points (Can be allocated to combat power, comprehension, physique, martial technique proficiency, portable space)]

[Would the host like to allocate points now?]

“Not yet. Wait for my command!” Lin Feng forced himself to stay calm and immediately stopped the system.

After Lin Feng made his choice, the event gradually came to an end.

“The general has ordered that all soldiers who selected a wife are granted five days’ leave. You must return to the army in five days. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with under military law!”

As soon as the man on stage finished, the crowd began to disperse.

Lin Feng held tightly onto He Caiwei’s soft hand and said, “Come on, let’s go home.”

Just a few steps in, He Caiwei suddenly stopped, bent down, and picked up the veil hat from the ground. Just as she was about to put it back on, Lin Feng said, “My wife has nothing to be ashamed of!”

With that, he grabbed the veil hat and threw it into the sky. At that moment, the cloud hanging over He Caiwei’s heart seemed to vanish completely.

In a distant corner, Decurion Wang Erhu watched Lin Feng take He Caiwei away, and an itch of desire crept into his heart. He turned toward a monkey-faced man beside him and asked with narrowed eyes, “Song Chun, do you think there’s truth to this talk about heterochromia bringing misfortune?”

Song Chun, Wang Erhu’s trusted subordinate, immediately caught on to his meaning. His eyes twitched as he whispered, “Boss, even if it’s true, that bad luck’s already stuck to Lin Feng. Why don’t I round up a few guys tonight and send that beauty to your place?”

But Wang Erhu’s expression suddenly turned serious as he corrected him, “Nonsense! Don’t say ‘send.’ It’s ‘invite’!”

He added, “Just tell Lin Feng that I, Decurion Wang, am inviting his wife to my home for an important discussion. Understand?”

“Hehe, I get it! Don’t worry, Boss. I know how to handle it.”

Song Chun grinned lecherously, looking even more monkey-like with that face of his.

“Take this silver and get moving!” Wang Erhu tossed him a bag of silver, then walked off humming a little tune.

“Take care, Boss!” Song Chun gave a respectful gesture, then waved his hand to both sides. Two men quickly came forward.

According to Great Zhou Empire law, local government offices were required to allocate housing to all frontier soldiers.

Yan Pass had been ravaged by war for years and was now sparsely populated. Even a low-ranking soldier like Lin Feng, who hadn’t served for even six months, was assigned a place to stay.

Along the way, Lin Feng and He Caiwei encountered many people whispering behind their backs. He Caiwei grew increasingly self-conscious and lowered her head more and more.

Feeling the pressure in her grip, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, looked at her seriously, and gently said, “Don’t mind what they’re saying. They’re just jealous that I got a gorgeous wife.”

“I know you’re a good man, but… I’m still worried,” He Caiwei said softly, hesitating.

“Worried about bringing me bad luck?”

Lin Feng scoffed and even threw a few punches at the air. “Look, I’m perfectly fine. Nothing’s happened.”

Then he raised three fingers to the sky and shouted, “I, Lin Feng, swear to the heavens—if I ever mistreat He Caiwei, may lightning stri—”

“Hey! Stop that!” He Caiwei quickly reached out and covered his mouth. Realizing how forward her action was, she panicked and pulled her hand back. She looked like a startled fawn, making Lin Feng feel even more tenderness for her.

After calming down a little, He Caiwei whispered, “Thank you.”

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, “From now on, we’re family. No more of this ‘thank you’ nonsense.”

“My dear wife, don’t make that mistake again!” The moment she heard the word “dear wife,” her cheeks turned bright red, and she felt her face burning.

Looking at Lin Feng’s sharp, handsome face bathed in the glow of the setting sun, she found him even more heroic than before. For a moment, she was completely entranced.

Guided by the original owner’s memories, after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the two arrived at a small courtyard.

There were three thatched huts—one for living, one as a kitchen, and one as a latrine. A stable stood beside them, where an old horse calmly ate hay.

Though simple, it had everything they needed.

As a border soldier who only got a day off every fifteen days, the courtyard had been kept in good order. On a patch of open ground, seasonal vegetables had been planted, clearly showing that the original owner cherished his life here.

Lin Feng pointed to the yard and smiled, “My dear wife, this will be our home from now on. It’s humble, but I hope you won’t mind it.”
