Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 767: The Eldest Daughter

...

"You still need to pick an identity? That thorough?"

Chen Huaian's lips curled in irritation. He'd assumed the process would end once he dispatched her there.

Yet...

Cultivators venturing into a minor thousand world typically received no such privileges.

They arrived as nameless wanderers, surviving on instincts alone right from the start.

Li Qingran's case stood out; the Electronic Girlfriend Game had carved a special path just for him.

"Fine, let's check out the available identities!"

Chen Huaian accessed the selection menu.

〈1〉 Starving refugee, gathered in the Battle Soul City camp, barely scraping by on food.

〈2〉 Trueborn daughter of a fallen household in Battle Soul City.

〈3〉 Street beggar — Beggars in Battle Soul City fare a touch better than those elsewhere.

〈4〉 Wild outsider beyond Battle Soul City's walls.

〈5〉 Outlaw hunted by Battle Soul City — A warrant from Battle Soul City means pursuit across half the continent.

...

Chen Huaian scowled while scrolling through the list.

These were the choices.

Merely five options in total.

"If you're offering identities, make them worthwhile. What kind of nonsense are these five?" Chen Huaian's expression brimmed with frustration.

None of these five appealed to him.

Still, he couldn't deny that excluding the fifth, the first, third, and fourth let an outsider slip in with less hassle. The second, as the trueborn daughter of a struggling clan, left him puzzled about how the Electronic Girlfriend System would shape it.

【Your Electronic Girlfriend's arrival timer: 30 seconds!】

【Hurry and assign an identity to your Electronic Girlfriend!】

Facing no alternatives.

Chen Huaian clenched his jaw and selected 〈2〉.

The fourth wasn't terrible, but playing the role of a wildling brought tough identity hurdles. Plus, landing outside Battle Soul City risked perils for Li Qingran, complicating matters.

【Your Electronic Girlfriend's identity is set — Trueborn Daughter of the Flame Boar Family】

【Identity Details: The trueborn daughter of the Flame Boar Family vanished in childhood and was just rediscovered. An alliance marriage binds the Flame Boar Family to the Thunder Leopard Family. The plan was to wed the trueborn daughter there, but her lack of Battle Power drew scorn. In the end, they swapped her for a side-branch daughter in the betrothal. The Flame Boar Family bowed to the stronger Thunder Leopard Family's influence. Due to her failure to seal the tie, the trueborn daughter's standing in the family crashed, leaving her to face constant snubs and contemptuous glares.】

【Under a hidden power's sway, Li Qingran will reclaim her Battle Power and unleash chaos in the Canglan Realm — Equip Li Qingran with fifty uses, heed her scheme for vengeance!】

...

Chen Huaian: "..."

What on earth is this setup?

A feminine twist on Xiao Yan?

Doesn't that demand the old saying about fortunes flipping like the river's flow?

Such a worn-out trope.

Chen Huaian prided himself on his broad experiences and insights, yet this bizarre backstory caught him off guard. Had he foreseen it, he'd have picked the refugee role for Li Qingran. Refugee or not, with his support, would she truly scrape by like one?

But the decision stood firm now.

This trueborn daughter role carried its perks.

At minimum, belonging to a Battle Soul Master lineage offered insights into the Canglan World's fundamentals. In the initial phase, without steady contact with Li Qingran, a clan member's status could spare her needless struggles.

【Your Electronic Girlfriend has entered the Canglan World!】

【Access the panel to view!】

Chen Huaian followed the prompt.

There lay Li Qingran in modest garb, resting in a chamber of odd design. The furnishings echoed ancient vibes but veered toward Western fantasy, evoking refined European medieval charm.

Li Qingran donned a simple white gown. Whether that outfit seemed odd in this realm, he couldn't tell.

But his concerns faded quickly.

As two servant girls, appearing youthful, swung the door wide and stepped inside.

Their attire mirrored Li Qingran's, flowing dresses as well.

...

"Young Lady! Young Lady, rise at once!"

"The Thunder Leopard Family's Young Master has arrived. The Master demands your presence right away!"

The urgent voices of the two maids gradually pulled Li Qingran from slumber. She scanned her surroundings in bewilderment, her thoughts still on the farewell kiss with her spouse at the Dimensional Gate... She'd pressed firmly, leaving a 'strawberry' mark on Chen Huaian's neck.

Yet in the instant that followed, a flood of recollections surged into her consciousness.

"The trueborn daughter of the Flame Boar Family, only just recovered?

This is my role now..." Li Qingran creased her brow and whispered.

Prior to reaching the Canglan Continent, her chief fears centered on identity and adaptation challenges.

For instance, the Cangyun Realm enforced rigid identity scrutiny.

Mortal realms there tracked every settlement's households, names, and lineages. Should the Canglan World mirror that rigor, blending in without papers would prove arduous.

From the looks of things, though, those fears appeared unfounded.

She hadn't anticipated that descending into a minor thousand world included a random identity handout.

The initial obstacle vanished just like that.

Li Qingran's spirits lifted right away.

More memories flowed in.

The Canglan World brimmed with divine beings, its rank trailing only the Cangyun Realm.

This realm defied Elder Zhang's claim of mere mortals.

Its cultivation path diverged sharply from the Cangyun Realm's.

In the Cangyun Realm, practitioners were termed cultivators.

Here, they bore the title of Battle Soul Masters.

Battle Soul Masters wielded unique Battle Souls. By slaying World Beasts for World Rings, they bolstered their innate Battle Souls. Strengthening the Battle Soul formed the core path to greater battle prowess.

Her current city, Battle Soul City, served as a pivotal hub in the Canglan World.

The day before, she'd faced an awakening trial at Battle Soul Square, yielding Battle Power: Zero.

This outcome sparked derision from the elders of her betrothed clan — the Thunder Leopard Family — branding her worthless. Thus, the Thunder Leopard Family's Young Master visiting today likely aimed to end the betrothal?

"Hmph! Better if he does call it off. A hassle avoided!"

Li Qingran huffed icily, her lovely features hardening.

Though this role stemmed from the world's mechanics, she was a married woman now. Even without his move to cancel, she'd have severed the tie herself. His unbidden arrival spared her the effort.

The pair of young maids observed their Young Lady mumbling obscure words, her exquisite face chilling as she scoffed in contempt. They traded looks, sympathy flashing in their gazes.

The Young Lady had to be heartbroken.

The Flame Boar Family had pinned great expectations on her once.

But the trial showed Battle Power: Zero Segments.

She lagged behind even the side-branch daughters of the Flame Boar Family.

Rumors held that the Thunder Leopard Family's might had surged lately, with their Young Master a standout. Not yet twenty, he already ranked as a 21st-level Great Battle Master.

Wed to such a prodigy, her prospects would soar without bounds.

Sadly...

The Canglan World prized equal standings.

Lacking aptitude meant a plain mortal life, eons below a Battle Master's rank.

Anyone could sense, even with bandaged feet, the purpose of the Thunder Leopard Family's Young Master today.

The Young Lady must ache with sorrow at this moment, no doubt.

How tragic — the Young Lady's beauty outshone even the Battle Soul Hall's Saintess.

"Show me the way."

Li Qingran's frosty tone cut through, shattering the maids' baseless thoughts.

She trailed the two young maids from the chamber.

Under the gaze of this alien world's three suns, her lips curved faintly.

Canglan Continent.

Li Qingran has come!
