Wind City, the Ring City Tower. This city's tallest building stands out prominently within the bustling CBD district. Housing investment firms, securities companies, wellness centers, supermarkets, restaurants, and banks, it is inhabited by the cream of the city's elite. Yet, compared to these financially powerful institutions, in the hearts of Wind City men, the Ring City Tower holds another name: The City of Fairies! It seems that beauty from across the entire federation has gathered here—from front desk staff and bank tellers to sales associates in luxury boutiques, and female executives in government and investment firms. Indeed, every woman working here possesses an exceptional beauty and grace. How else could such a concentration of beauties have come to be, if not for the legendary City of Fairies? Wind City men especially love to pass by the Ring City Tower, and business leaders and the affluent frequently visit to conduct business and experience the fairy-like service. Precisely for this reason, the City Circle Tower is the enemy of women in Wind City; even a three-year-old child would spit out a stream of saliva when mentioning it. The corporate rivals are also deeply wary of the Tower’s tactics, for the "fairy’s" charm is irresistible—its people cannot withstand the allure, and even the heads of the conglomerates find themselves tempted to defect. The former mayor of Wind City was a master of political maneuvering. During his campaign, he delivered passionate speeches promising that, as long as he took office, he would launch formal accusations against the City Circle Group—its parent company—alleging unfair competition and providing sexual services to business and government officials. He won the election by a commanding margin, only to become a regular guest at the City Circle Tower. At 9 a.m., an unprecedented scene unfolded at the City Circle Tower’s entrance. Edith Diana, CEO of Global Investments and Vice President of the City Circle Group, led all the female executives of the Tower, standing quietly at the main entrance, as if welcoming a distinguished guest. Middle-management women in sleek suits, wearing black tights that accentuated their long, graceful legs, styled with modern, refined hair and carrying gentle smiles—some exuding charm and grace, others freshness and delicacy, some sweetness and approachability, and others cool elegance—formed a striking visual presence. Commuters heading to the CBD paused at their usual check-in points, either pulling out their phones to take photos or informing their colleagues to join in. Even journalists with photographers hurried into the crowd—there were several TV stations nearby. Security guards at the Huan Cheng Tower stood tall and composed, maintaining a calm, orderly atmosphere. People whispered among themselves, speculating whether a major corporate executive or perhaps a high-ranking federal official had arrived. "Huan Cheng Group has hosted many distinguished guests, yet these women have never been seen greeting visitors at the main entrance." "Could it be the President?" "If it were the President, the protocol would be quite different—there would surely be special security personnel and federal police vehicles in attendance." At that moment, a sleek, luxurious executive sedan rolled in along the main road, parking at the entrance of the grand building amid the expectant and excited gazes of the onlookers. On the elegant rear seat, a golden-haired beauty brightened up, stepping briskly with her refined high heels, approaching eagerly and opening the car door. A young man stepped out—East Asian features, wearing a casual shirt and pants, with sunglasses, looking relaxed and ordinary. "Mr. Yuan Shi, you've arrived!" Annette's eyes sparkled with starlight, just like a young wife after years of quiet life suddenly seeing her husband arrive. Zhang Yuanqing turned to take in the scene, gazing at the dense crowd surrounding him, thinking, Wow, what on earth is going on? Are there journalists here? This grand setup makes it seem as if they're staging a short drama—something like "The Chinese War God Arrives in the West!" Fortunately, I've changed my appearance! "Long time no see, Miss Annette!" Zhang Yuanqing smiled warmly, his gaze naturally drifting past her toward the two rows of beautiful women standing there. Even someone accustomed to breathtaking beauty felt a sense of overwhelming astonishment now—there were so many stunning beauties! Every style represented! It was no wonder the魔君 was enchanted, staying put, utterly enchanted. Love, after all, was the gift the Spirit Realm bestowed upon men. Zhang Yuanqing, struggling to steady his thoughts, looked at Madame Diana, who approached with a warm, smiling face, half curious, half cautious: "Is the Beauty Goddess Association truly anticipating my arrival?" As he spoke, he continuously calmed himself, suppressing the waves of emotion rising within. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, a refined lady with elegant gold-framed spectacles, her golden hair gently curled, wore a sleek black suit that accentuated her full, sensuous figure. Her skin was as creamy as milk, her features exquisitely refined—her full, well-defined lips, the height of her nose, the size of her eyes, the density of her lashes—every detail perfected to an impeccable standard. Even with a restrained charm, one can still awaken a man's most primal impulses. Diana smiled lightly, "It was the Chairman who requested this—said the grander the better, and that we must not diminish his legacy bearer." "...Ah." It was actually the flamboyant uncle who had arranged it—surprised me, I thought the fairy would be turning the tables on me tonight. Zhang Yuanqing exhaled a sigh of relief. His greatest concern had always been that the fairy would want to sleep with him. Given the Chairman's breathtaking, almost divine charm, it was a daunting prospect—like a lamb entering a lion's den. Zhang Yuanqing knew he would have little chance of resisting. If she didn't choose him, he'd at least have to unbutton his trousers and stiffen his resolve, saying, "Please, don't press too hard!" Now it seemed that although the uncle had arranged a flamboyant entrance, he had also made clear expectations on the side of the Beauty Goddess Association. At that moment, the murmurs of the onlookers rose in waves, one after another, like a tide growing ever more powerful. They simply couldn't accept that such an elaborate welcome ceremony—designed As a master of illusion, Zhang Yuanqing was especially attuned to emotions, and smiled, "Let's go in—your gentlemen of Fengcheng seem rather reserved toward me." Anne embraced his arm, glanced authoritatively at the cluster of eager women, and smiled warmly, "Master Yuanshi, I'll show you in." Diana smiled and made a graceful "please" gesture, leading the two inside. The senior members of the Goddess Association turned in unison, forming two neat lines behind them, their eyes consistently fixed on Yuan Shi Tianzun. After all, this was Yuan Shi Tianzun—following the Magus, another radiant young prodigy. No longer could one merely describe him as a young prodigy; he was now a young leader of stature! Compared to the Magus, whose reputation had been tarnished, Yuan Shi Tianzun embodied order and was hailed as the light of the righteous path. Even the most established order-aligned factions in the first region recognized his contributions and standing. Conquering such a man, making him fall at one's feet in admiration—this feels far more rewarding than simply winning over the Sleep King. With Zhang Yuanqing holding onto Anne, they ascended in the elevator and entered Lady Diana's office. The senior executives of the Goddess Association smiled warmly, eager to join in, but were gently pushed back outside by Lady Diana's firm gaze. Seated at the guest sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, Anne skillfully served Yuan Shi with an ice-cold cola and poured a cup of sun-dried coffee for Lady Diana. Then she walked to the desk and retrieved a stack of documents. Lady Diana smiled and said, "These are the unclaimed, Level 7 dungeon records from the Goddess Association." Zhang Yuanqing took the documents and immediately skipped over the dungeons below Level A, reading them carefully. The Goddess Association's Level 7 dungeons feature two S-level and four A-level dungeons—indeed, the resources are quite substantial. According to the marshal's experience, alternate between low-difficulty and high-difficulty raids, taking some time to relax, with a ratio of roughly 2:1—once sufficient experience has been accumulated and strength has grown, then tackle the S-tier raids. Zhang Yuanqing thought this through, continuously selecting sheets of A4 paper and stacking them in ascending order, ultimately choosing a total of 15 raids. Diana at the side suddenly tapped the table, smiling slightly with a touch of hesitation: "The Elven Forest? Are you really certain you want to select this one?" The Elven Forest is a B-tier solo raid. The description from the spiritual realm reads: "Every evening, as night falls, a sensual gas rises from deep within the forest—its origin remains unknown." A romantic atmosphere enveloped the forest, causing animals to mate wildly and reproduce, including the forest-dwelling elves, who displayed their graceful forms and sang enchanting melodies, captivating men from outside the forest... Zhang Yuanqing had chosen this B-tier quest as his opening act precisely because of the charming and alluring description of the spiritual realm. On one hand, it was his first experience with the Beauty Goddess Association's quests, and he didn't want to select something too challenging or combat-heavy. On the other hand, he hoped to witness the elves' graceful postures and melodious songs. Now, Diana had pointed this out with neither hesitation nor irony, leaving Zhang Yuanqing slightly embarrassed. Yet, as a naturally sociable figure, the Yuan-Shi Tianzun remained composed, smiling and saying, "I have always had a natural affinity for the elves of Western mythology, and I cannot bear to see them suffer night after night." Diana's smile deepened, her voice soft and melodious. "In Western mythology, there are many kinds of fairies. Among them, one branch consists entirely of women, skilled in enchantment, who dwell in forests year after year. When they reach marriageable age, they enchant men living outside the forest, leading them to mate and bear children—male infants are often abandoned, while female infants are raised and nurtured. This very branch of fairies constitutes the ancient tribe of love and desire. All the beautiful legends about fairies originate from this very tribe. As for other tales of fairies, they are fierce, turbulent, and bloodthirsty—entirely unrelated to beauty and harmony." It seems I've made the right choice—time for the ancient fairies to experience the energy of the Night Watch! Zhang Yuanqing felt delighted and handed Diana a thin stack of papers. "Please begin the quests in this order." Diana passed them to Anne and said, "Deliver them to the Council. Mr. Yuan Shi, later on, the Grand Council will invite you to join the Association of the Goddess of Beauty." "Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "No problem." Before coming, he had already stepped away from the White Tiger troops. Although this didn't conflict with joining the Divine Goddess Association, the more critical the moment, the more Zhang Yuanqing hesitated to join any faction. Once real interests clashed, the "never betray" rule of the faction would make him deeply uncomfortable. After Anne had left, Diana said: "There's something essential I must tell you—the Divine Goddess Association and the Merchant Guild are supporting you, but on certain conditions. We are well aware of the relationship between the Chairman and you, so we won't elaborate further. What I'd like to emphasize is what the Chairman specifically expects in return." Zhang Yuanqing immediately straightened up and spoke firmly: "Go on." It was natural that his uncle had supported him to become the Sun Sovereign, but the Chairman of the Divine Goddess Association had no personal connection with him—any investment would certainly require a return. Diana unconsciously lowered her voice: "Once you become the Sun Sovereign, you must marry the Chairman, with your divine status as proof, and grant her formal recognition." ??? Zhang Yuanqing's mind flashed with a series of questions. He thought to himself, What kind of unparalleled, all-out gift is this? They're giving me resources, supporting my rise to the rank of Sun Sovereign, just so they can marry me? The Zhang family has no throne to inherit. Then it struck him as something unusual. "Perhaps the Chairman isn't really marrying me," he said, "but rather the Sun Sovereign." Diana nodded slightly. "The ultimate pursuit of love is the Goddess of Beauty, and the ultimate pursuit of the Goddess of Beauty is the Mother Goddess," she explained. "To become the Mother Goddess, the Chairman needs not only to gather all administrative privileges, but also a qualitative transformation at the level of divine status. Among all the various professions, only the Sun Sovereign can grant her the title that elevates her divine essence. Marrying the Chairman is merely a way to make it easier for you to understand—once you reach that level, you can see it as a formal bestowal of authority." In other words, it's about gaining the recognition of the Sun Sovereign, receiving a symbolic title, which in turn triggers a transformation in her divine essence, making her the Mother Goddess! So, what exactly is Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "What sacrifice do I need to make?" Diana shook her head, "I don't know. But since the Chairman has neither refused nor opposed you, your sacrifice must not be great." Only then did Zhang Yuanqing nod, and asked further, "Why not choose the Master of Taifeng? He's an old stallion—endowed with the charm, no, the allure of the Beauty Goddess—there's no reason for him to refuse." Diana shook her head again, "I am not privy to the Chairman's plans or intentions." Very well... Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and decided it wasn't necessary to pursue this further—at least not now. After all, it was still uncertain whether he would ultimately become the Master of the Sun. So he changed the subject and said, "I would like to meet Betty, the lover cherished by the Mage King." She is also the most frequently appearing female lead in the audio recordings. Diana smiled, "You're after that fragment of the key belonging to Betty, aren't you? It's a personal possession of the Mage King, a cherished heirloom of Betty's. You may trade for it, but if "Zhang Yuanqing smiled and praised, 'I'm certain your aunt will find a way to persuade Betty to give in.'" Diana's expression instantly brightened, and she rose with a cheerful smile, saying, "Betty is Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—though even I can't force her, I can certainly help you negotiate terms." With that, she gracefully opened the office door.
