In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 586 Martial God Fire Seed Competition!

Lin Qiye walked with a calm gait, straight through the pushing and shoving crowd, and stopped in front of the two familiar figures.

The instant he approached, a system notification from the Astral Plane popped up in his field of vision:

[Friends detected: Crimson Flame, Ice Prison.]

[Current environment: Public area. Your access level is high; identity fog has been automatically enabled. Would you like to reveal your real appearance to your friends?]

Lin Qiye had a thought and chose "Yes".

In an instant, in the vision of Chi Yan and Bing Yu, the thick, chaotic mist that had made them feel oppressed suddenly thinned and disappeared as if blown away by an invisible wind.

Lin Qiye's handsome face, with a faint smile, was clearly displayed before the two of them.

"Master...Master?!"

The two women gasped simultaneously, their anxiety about finding Lin Qiye instantly turning into utter astonishment.

They never imagined that the mysterious big shot who drew attention throughout the entire teleportation plaza was actually their master!

"Master...it really is Master!" The adoration in Chi Yan's eyes was almost overflowing.

Ice Prison stood frozen in place.

The arrival of a newcomer, accompanied by this level of identity concealment and mystery, definitely indicates B-level, or even A-level, authority!

The eyes of Chi Yan and Bing Yu were filled with reverence!

As expected of my master!

"Master, what exactly are your permissions?" Bingyu couldn't help but lower his voice, his tone trembling slightly.

Since Lin Qiye only revealed his appearance to them, his level and ID were still [? ? ?] in their eyes.

Before Lin Qiye could answer, the passersby who had been startled by the word "master" were already casting dagger-like glances at him.

"Hey, look over there... those two women are martial goddesses..."

"They call them master?"

"A martial god-level attendant... just which monster family in the core of the main star does this guy come from?"

Seeing the growing attention around them, Chi Yan and Bing Yu grabbed Lin Qiye from either side and whispered:

"Master, there are too many people and too many eyes around here."

"Let's get out of here!"

The two stunningly beautiful Valkyries, right before everyone's eyes, led Lin Qiye away from the teleportation point plaza in a swift manner.

……

Stepping out of the teleportation point plaza, Lin Qiye was greeted by an extremely bizarre scene.

The streets are wide and vast, with buildings on both sides gleaming and shimmering, like crystal sculptures.

A surging crowd from all directions, tens of thousands of souls converge here.

Strangely, the entire street was surprisingly quiet compared to the massive crowds.

Lin Qiye quickly realized that everyone was obviously communicating in private or group chat channels.

However, even without sound, Lin Qiye still felt immense "pressure".

Because of his mysterious identity displayed as [???], he was like a walking sun among the E-level and D-level citizens on the street. Wherever he went, passersby would automatically part like a tide, casting awe, astonishment, or inquisitive glances at him.

"Where to?" Lin Qiye asked casually in the three-person chat.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan and Bing Yu, who were originally guarding him on the left and right, froze simultaneously.

A blush instantly spread across Chi Yan's handsome face as he stammered into the channel, "M-Master, how about we talk as we walk? The night view of Golden Bull City is actually quite nice..."

Lin Qiye stopped, somewhat puzzled. "Shouldn't we find a place to sit down and talk? You've been around here for so long, you should at least have a place to stay, right?"

Bingyu lowered his head, his face flushed with embarrassment, and his voice was barely audible: "Master...we don't have a place to stay in the Star Plane."

"No residence?" Lin Qiye was stunned, looking at the two judges of the court in shock.

In his view, the two of them were martial gods, and were considered prominent figures in the main star region. How did they end up as "vagrants" in the virtual world?

"Master, you don't understand," Bingyu explained, blushing, "Astral Points are incredibly hard to accumulate; every single point has to be used wisely. We use almost all of our points to exchange for 'Time Crystals' to enter the Time Chamber for secluded cultivation, or to buy tickets to high-level dungeons. As for accommodation vouchers..."

She sighed and continued, "The cheapest basic housing voucher costs 10,000 points, and there are also high annual property management fees. For us, entering the Astral Plane is about becoming stronger. When we get tired, we can simply withdraw and return to our physical bodies in the mortal world. Housing... is indeed a bit too flashy and impractical, so we've never been willing to buy one."

After listening, Lin Qiye suddenly realized what was going on.

Martial gods like Chi Yan and Bing Yu, if they weren't born into some top-tier wealthy family, would indeed want to split every single resource in half.

In their eyes, spending 10,000 points to buy a virtual house is indeed not as practical as exchanging them all for time crystals.

Chi Yan and Bing Yu exchanged a furtive glance, their eyes filled with regret and guilt.

"How embarrassing!" Chi Yan thought to himself, "Our master has just arrived, and we don't even have a place to offer him a seat!"

"We must save money!" Bingyu secretly vowed. "We absolutely cannot let our master go shopping with us again!"

Lin Qiye didn't seem to care much. He smiled and suddenly wrapped his arms around her.

"oops!"

With two soft cries, Chi Yan and Bing Yu were instantly embraced tightly by Lin Qiye.

Even though this is an astral realm composed of soul data, the tactile sensation is outrageously real.

The touch from the palm is still as delicate, soft, and incredibly elastic as ever.

This feeling is exactly the same as the feeling of holding them in real life!

"Master...Master..."

Chi Yan and Bing Yu's bodies stiffened the moment they were embraced, and then an unprecedented sense of shame exploded from the depths of their souls.

Being favored in real life is one thing, but on this star-studded street, such intimacy in broad daylight still makes their hearts race.

What terrified them even more was that this deep-seated infatuation was amplified countless times in the Astral Plane.

The heat from Lin Qiye's palm seemed to travel along the virtual meridians, directly scorching their consciousness.

The two women felt their legs go weak, and they collapsed limply onto Lin Qiye as if they had lost all their bones.

"It's over...it's completely over..."

Chi Yan thought with shame and indignation: "It's not just my physical body, how come even my spiritual form in the Astral Plane becomes completely limp and powerless the moment my master holds me!"

Ice Prison's consciousness was so ashamed it was practically mush.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Qiye smiled and released them, asking:

"So, am I going to participate in some kind of Martial God Fire Seed Tournament next?"

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his face flushed, and said:

"Yes, Master! Only by advancing in the Martial God Fire Seed Competition can you obtain a 'Fire Seed.' With a Fire Seed, you can bypass the helmet and connect your consciousness to the Star Network anytime, anywhere!"

Bingyu barely managed to recover before saying, "We have collected all the competition data for you. We will return to the mortal realm in a moment and present the data to you. Once you are ready in the mortal realm, we can reconnect and participate in this year's 'Martial God Fire Seed Tournament'!"

Lin Qiye looked up at the towering orange-red torch in the center of the divine city and nodded slightly.

"A spark... Interesting. In that case, let's return to the mortal realm and examine the information you've prepared."

"Yes, Master!"

The three figures gradually faded in the middle of the street, turning into three thin streaks of light that disappeared from the spot.

……

A day later, the streets of Golden Bull City were still bustling with people, and the three streaks of light re-emerged where they had disappeared.

Lin Qiye, Chi Yan, and Bing Yu reappeared on the street.

At this moment, after a full day of in-depth exploration in the mortal world, Lin Qiye had thoroughly figured out the ins and outs of the "Martial God Fire Seed Competition".

"【The Battle of Morse Wasteland】..."

Lin Qiye murmured the name of the instance softly.

This is a significant chapter in the history of the Galactic Empire.

The once resource-rich planet Morse was completely corrupted by the abyss ten thousand years ago and became a den of monsters.

It was the first interstellar war god of the Galactic Empire who led the expedition, using his flesh and blood to break through the defenses of the Abyss and sound the horn for humanity's counterattack against the Abyss.

StarNet extracted this magnificent history and constructed it into a selection instance for the Martial God Fire Seed Tournament.
