The Tianyuan Continent, Bei Wuguo, Jiangxia City.

A young man around the age of sixteen or seventeen sits in the courtyard with a dejected expression on his face.

The youngster's name is Lin Xiao.

"Darn it, did I really cross over to another world?"

Lin Xiao looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and curled his lips in disdain.

Wasn't he just boasting a bit? So why did he end up getting struck by lightning?

As if being struck by lightning wasn't bad enough, it somehow also transported him to another world. And if that wasn't bad, it gets worse because he ended up possessing a fool's body!

Completely intolerable!

However, the fool's background was quite pitiful. He was originally the son of the city lord, destined for a life of honour, but was tragically betrayed, resulting in his impaired mental state.

"Forget it, since I've taken over your body, I will help you get your revenge!"

Lin Xiao clenched his fist, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Ding! Activation of the Heaven-Defying Summoning System!"

"Ding! The Heaven-Defying Summoning System commences inspection..."

"Ding! System Binding Successful!"

At that moment, three consecutive prompts sounded in his ears.

Against-the-Heavens Summoning System?

It sounds pretty awesome!

"I wonder what I can summon? It'd be great if I could summon Sun Wukong or Erlang Shen!"

Lin Xiaohu skeptically muttered to himself.

"The Against-the-Heavens Summoning System is bred by the Heaven Dao, specifically to assist the host in unifying the world and become the supreme being. This system can summon any existence between heaven and earth, but considering the host's current strength is weak, specific summoning is not available."

Just as Lin Xiaohu was puzzled, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind, answering his question.

"Damn! What the hell! You scared the life out of me!"

Upon hearing the sudden voice in his head, Lin Xiaohu got quite a fright.

Could this be the rumored system?

I've struck it rich!

Having this Against-the-Heavens Summoning System, wouldn't I be invincible?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaohu wore an excited expression, commanded spiritedly in his heart: "System, summon a hundred for me first!"

"Sorry, the host's energy is insufficient, only one can be summoned!"

The system's icy voice extinguished Lin Xiaohu's enthusiasm.

Lin Xiaohu snorted, somewhat disappointedly said: "Fine, fine, I'll start with summoning just one."

"May the heavens and earth bless me, grant me a summon that proves effective!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for summoning Daji!"

What?!

I actually managed to summon Daji?

Even though the strength of Daji may not necessarily be top-notch, her appearance is definitely stunning. It isn't a loss at all!

"Hmm? Where's Daji?"

However, despite eagerly expecting from left to right, Lin Xiao simply couldn’t see Daji appear anywhere, and this frustrated him.

Did I get fooled?

"System, what's going on? Don't tell me there's traffic congestion and Daji's stuck on the road!" Lin Xiao asked in anger in his heart.

"The characters summoned from the system will appear around the Host. The Host must find her within a day in order to gain her loyalty."

Damn it!

How can it work like this?

What if he doesn’t find Daji within an hour, won't Daji belong to someone else then?

As Lin Xiao swore under his breath at the system, he dashed out of the city lord's mansion in a flurry.

According to the system, Daji should be within Jiangxia City. He needs to find her as soon as possible.

Having wandered in Jiangxia City for half a day, he still hasn't found any trace of Daji. Instead, the people in the city seem rather disdainful towards this "Young City Master", none of them showing him any pleasant facial expression.

It’s not surprising, even his city master father didn't think much of his foolish son, preferring his talented adopted son, Lu Yu. How could others respect him, a fool?

All of this was thanks to Lu Yu!

If it hadn't been for Lu Yu scheming to seize the position of city master, planning to harm his previous self and making his previous self a fool, how could his former self have plummeted to this position?

Now equipped with the Reversed Heaven Summoning System, he has to make sure he gets back at Lu Yu!

While thinking this, Lin Xiao suddenly arrived at a small alleyway. At the entrance were hundreds of people grouped together, chattering and pointing toward the alley's entrance.

"My goodness! How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"

"If I could take her home, I would be willing to go bankrupt!"

"Hold on there, with such extraordinary beauty, who knows how much she'll cost!"

"Maybe not necessarily, if she's selling herself, she must have been driven to that desperate situation. If we wait here, maybe we can bring a beauty home."

Hearing these people discussing, a glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

An extraordinarily beautiful woman…

Could it be Daji!

"Excuse me! Pardon me please!"

Thinking so, Lin Xiao quickly squeezed into the crowd, using a great deal of effort before he finally managed to make it to the front.

At the entrance of the alley, a woman was kneeling. Her clothing was tattered and torn, yet her graceful figure was still very apparent, causing anyone who saw her to feel a surge of passion.

Her skin was fair and luminous, as if it carried its own glow. Her face was even more captivating, every frown and smile full of enchantment.

"Gulp..."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but swallow.

This woman was simply too attractive!

"Get out of my way! I, young master, am buying this woman!"

At that moment, a group of people rushed in.

Seeing the leader of the group, the other citizens of Jiangxia City showed expressions of fear.

This was someone they could not afford to offend.

Lin Xiao also raised his eyebrows because he recognized this man. It was Su Aotian, the eldest son of the Su family, and one of Lu Yu's most loyal lackeys!

He hadn't expected him to be joining this scene.

Su Aotian seemingly didn't notice Lin Xiao amidst the crowd and went straight toward the woman and said eagerly, "Miss, how much for your body? I'll pay it, come with me now!"

"The cost depends on the situation. If it's someone destined for me, there's no charge. Otherwise, the price is a hundred gold pieces!"

Upon hearing this, the woman lifted her cheek, her beautiful eyes rolling with a charm that could melt bone, and even her soft voice seemed especially sweet.

"One hundred gold coins, my heavens, this is an astronomical sum!"

"Isn't it? Even the eldest son of the Su family would have to think twice!"

"But didn't they say, for the right person, they wouldn't take a penny!"

"Could it be they intentionally make it difficult for the eldest son of the Su family?"

...

As this woman spoke, the crowd around her was in uproar.

One hundred gold coins was considered a large sum in this world. The basic unit here was the copper coin, then silver coins, followed by gold coins.

A hundred copper coins make a silver coin, a hundred silver coins make a gold one.

In other words, one hundred gold coins would amount to one million copper coins.

One copper coin was worth about one yuan on earth, so this woman was priced at a million?

Lin Xiong couldn't help licking his lips, this was truly an astronomical price. Even an A-list female star wouldn't cost this much for a night, would she?

At this, Su Aotian's face turned slightly ugly.

Although he could afford one hundred gold coins, if his father found out he used a hundred gold coins to buy a female slave, he would surely break his legs.

Yet, the woman before him was indeed irresistible, he really couldn't let go.
