The Rose Empress wasn’t a bald fetishist.

The main thing was that even without hair, Jun Changxiao’s appearance wasn’t affected in the slightest. In fact, he looked even more adorable than usual, so she couldn’t help but want to touch his head.

If this were Dunan instead—

This old lady would directly kick him out of the Planar Battlefield with one big foot.

So even if the Rose Empress truly had a thing for bald heads, it would only apply to Jun Gou Sheng himself.

At this moment, she was like a soft snake, coiling in front of her husband. No matter how he tried to block left and right, he still couldn’t avoid getting his head rubbed.

Honestly, Jun Changxiao’s head was big and round.

Forget the Rose Empress—even he found it comfortable to touch.

“Ding! Host has consumed 1,000 contribution points to obtain Modified Wig ×1. It has been transferred to your spatial ring.”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 65,000/70,000.”

Unable to endure any longer, Gou Sheng spent 5,000 contribution points at the intermediate mall to buy a wig and put it on his head.

However, what made him want to cough up blood was that this so-called modified wig, though it looked like real hair once worn, was affected by the environment and time constraints. The hairstyle it currently displayed was actually an afro!

“Hahaha!”

The professionally trained system couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The Rose Empress said with considerable disappointment, “The bald look was perfectly fine. Why must you cover it up?”

“…”

Jun Changxiao forcibly suppressed his inner irritation and said with a straight face, “First of all, I’m not doing charity work…”

The camera spiritually shifted.

Hands holding various resources, his facial expression absolutely priceless.

The Rose Empress placed another spatial ring on top and clapped her hands with a smile, “I, Hua Meigui, am not someone who relies on her husband’s help. Consider all this your reward for helping me.”

Big sister!

With you being so cooperative, you’re making me feel like a total failure here!

“However.”

The Rose Empress’s gaze turned cold, “The planes that came to attack earlier—this Empress will not let them off!”

Actually, even without Jun Changxiao’s sudden rescue, though she would have found it difficult to resist so many planes, she would have made them pay a painful price.

“What do you want to do?”

“What does husband want to do?”

“…”

Jun Changxiao and she looked at each other face to face, and suddenly seemed to understand—this woman was thinking the same thing as him, wanting to go ‘visit’ each major plane one by one!

The system said, “This is the rhythm of husband and wife cooperation, extorting together!”

“Ding! Epic Quest completed. Beginning settlement.”

“Ding! Host successfully protected a family member, meeting the defined conditions. Epic Quest completed with 150% completion rate. Host obtains 75,000 contribution points!”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 140,000/70,000.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points overflow…”

“Hahaha!”

The system laughed without restraint, “I finally guessed correctly once! I finally didn’t get my face slapped! Hahaha!”

Though the laughter was unrestrained, it revealed more desolation. After all, after years of getting its face slapped, today it finally parted the clouds to see the sun, endured until the clouds cleared to see the moon!

One year anniversary.

Please give the Strongest Face-Slapping System a round of applause.

“…”

Jun Changxiao crouched on the ground, both hands pulling at his afro, howling in his heart, “Even the Epic Quest considers her my family member!”

“Stop resisting.”

The system said, “Face reality.”

“Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing Epic Quest Eleven, obtaining Divine-Grade Aptitude Transformation Liquid ×1, Divine-Grade Sword Dao Aptitude Liquid ×1, Seal-Opening Talisman (Three) ×1.”

“Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing Epic Quest Twelve, obtaining Divine-Grade Aptitude Transformation Liquid ×2, Sacred-Grade Array Dao Aptitude Liquid ×1, Seven Profound Radiant Light Fragment Volume Five Purchase Right ×1, One More Bottle Purchase Right ×1, Lingyan Pavilion Exclusive Divine Weapon Transformation Stone ×1.”

Frequent notification sounds transmitted to his ears.

Comparing the rewards from the two epic quests, Epic Quest Twelve was obviously richer than Epic Quest Eleven. The reason lay in one being completed at only 100%, while the other was completed at 150%.

The extra 50% might have come from Jun Changxiao’s appearance, using his powerful imposing aura to frighten away dozens of united planes.

Whenever epic quest rewards were settled, it was Jun Changxiao’s happiest moment, but right now his face showed an expression of collapse as he struggled to grab his hair.

Why struggling?

Because the modified wig had changed from an afro to a buzz cut—too short to grab easily.

This kind of product that automatically changed hairstyles every period of time was simply… give me several hundred of them!

“Buy, buy, buy!”

Jun Changxiao opened the advanced mall, and because of his irritation, he used all the overflow contribution points in one go to buy pills and weapon formulas.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Just then, majestic air currents surged forth.

Jun Changxiao’s realm also advanced from the peak of Sword and Martial Double Saint in one leap to the Great Perfection level!

Feeling that even more explosive power, along with his deeper level understanding of heaven, earth, space, and other attributes, he clenched his fist and secretly said, “I’ve gotten stronger again!”

The system quipped, “You’ve also gone bald.”

…

“Have you all heard!”

“The husband of that Rose Empress from Soul Clan Continent is Jun Changxiao!”

“My heavens! This is explosive news!”

“No wonder a newly arrived plane would be so domineering—turns out there’s an incredible man backing her up!”

“When Jun Changxiao came to the Planar Battlefield, didn’t he also act as he pleased? They really are a couple!”

“Scarlet Sea Continent and Lingyun Continent joined forces to attack Jun Changxiao’s wife—isn’t that like kicking an iron plate covered in thorns?”

“Sigh, the major planes are going to bleed heavily again.”

Just as everyone was discussing with great interest, Jun Changxiao had already appeared outside the Scarlet Sea Continent stronghold.

A light breeze came.

The curled hair on his forehead fluttered.

During this time period, Gou Sheng’s hairstyle had changed from a buzz cut to ramen-style curls.

The system couldn’t help but sigh, “Uncle Jiao was the first person to pull off this hairstyle. Host is now the second!”

“You.”

“Get.”

“Lost.”

“OK?”

The Rose Empress had followed along too.

She stood behind Jun Changxiao, constantly staring at the back of his head, greatly tempted to raise her hand and yank off his wig.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Hong Yao brought several elders flying out from the stronghold, bowing with trepidation, “Sect Master Jun…”

“First, hear what Jun has to say.”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand to interrupt, saying, “Soul Clan Continent and your Scarlet Sea Continent had no prior grudges or enmity, right?”

“None!”

“Then why did you immediately send people to bully them?”

“This…”

“Unable to bully them and instead getting bullied—that just means your skills were inferior. No objections to that, right?”

“No objections!”

“Since there are no objections, why did you unite with other planes to continue making trouble?”

“This…”

Hong Yao’s forehead was covered in sweat.

Brother!

Grandfather!

You just want money, so why beat around the bush?

I’ll give! However much you want!

Jun Changxiao had come to reason with them, not to extort—so… he took out an abacus made of pure gold, and after some careful calculations, said, “Emotional distress compensation, lost work compensation, nutritional fees—altogether, give me five million.”

“I’ll give!”

“I’ll give it!”

At this moment, even if Hong Palace Master had to sell everything he owned, even if he had to go bankrupt, he still had to quickly send away this demon couple.

“Palace Master Hong.”

At the end, Jun Changxiao said, “Stop bullying newcomers in the future. After all, everyone has it hard.”

Hong Yao raised his hand and swore, “If my Scarlet Sea Continent ever dares to bully newcomers again, may I be struck by lightning five times over!”

Having provoked both Jun Changxiao and the Rose Empress—these were two extremely painful lessons. So as long as he remained the stronghold master, he wouldn’t let his subordinates engage in battlefield violence again!

“Let’s go.”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand.

The Rose Empress followed.

On the road, she smiled, “Husband’s extortion methods are so gentle. If it were me, I’d definitely beat them up first.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao was going crazy.

This woman kept calling him “husband” with every other sentence, and it was making his mental state about to explode.

Endure!

I’ll endure!

If he didn’t like it, why did Jun Changxiao let the Rose Empress follow along? Because this matter was related to her, allowing him to legitimately extort resources from the major planes!

“Swoosh!”

The modified hairstyle changed again, the ramen curls transforming into a slicked-back style.

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao let out a sigh.

He first put on a trench coat, then donned flashy sunglasses, and finally hung a cigar from his mouth, saying, “When we get to Lingyun Continent, when I shrug my shoulders, you step forward and catch the coat.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask why, just do it.”

“Alright, husband.”
