บท 12: You shouldn't marry your food

[System: Dear Host, I can help you get married.]

Huang Qiuyan registers the system's words in a daze. She is refueled. The dreams of a wedding and a white gown are back. She dreams of a sweet home with three or four children and a loving husband. She will cook the best meal for her family. A dream of a happy family.

The system watches her daydreams quietly. The picture is quite detailed except for the faces. He has no idea how to react. He has thrown the bait, but his host is more than willing to take the bait. Her enthusiasm is scary to the system. She is desperate even after dying and becoming a vampire. People in her situation usually think about survival. But, Huang Qiuyan is unique. Her goals are quite....disturbing to the system.

His host is foolishly romantic. She is also energetic when it comes to marriage. It is literally the apocalypse. The world is going crazy, but she is dreaming of romance. She wants to get married and start a family.

[System: Dear Host, do you have specific requirements for your potential husband?]

For his stupid host, he will become a husband seeking system too. He is an apocalypse assistance system. How should it fit this goal in his plan? Though it is his idea, he is quite awkward when it comes to romance and dating. Does she even want to date? She seems like she just wants to get married.

He will download all the romantic books from the database. In the apocalypse, romance and seduction skills are also necessary to survive. Mating is necessary for continuing the bloodline. For humans to survive, there should be marriages and children. The system comes up with new logic. He can find her a husband.

"Requirements?" Huang Qiuyan is so energetic and happy that she hasn't realized that she has been crazily running without any stop. "System, I don't have many requirements. He should be a man who is willing to marry me. He should be someone who likes me and he should be a nice person. I don't want to marry any criminal or someone with strange issues. He should be a decent man who treats a woman fairly. Nicely. When he holds me, my heart should flutter. I want to marry someone I can love."

The system makes a note. A male. Fluttering heart. Nice. Decent. No criminal. No strange issues. A man who is willing. Mutual like. When he puts these keywords in the search, the results show a long list of potential husbands.

[System: Dear Host, are you okay to marry a kitsune? There is an urgent requirement for a bride with a healthy liver.]

[Host: Kitsune?]

[System: Dear Host, he is a nine-tailed fox demon. He is nearly three thousand years old. He has been married fifty times already. He is tired of brides who have short lives. Now, he is looking for someone strong with a long life. Having a healthy liver is a plus. He is quite handsome. His enchanting eyes can make anyone heart flutter. His kiss can easily seduce women."

"..." Huang Qiuyan stops walking. Why did she trust this stupid system?

[System: Dear Host, there is an urgent bride requirement by a gargoyle. He is cool with your vampire status. He says that he is the most handsome gargoyle in his world.]

[System: Dear Host, an urgent bride requirement for a five years old male incubus. He can take any appearance and he is quite skilled in bed. If you marry him, you can have any number of children that you want.]

[System: Dear Host -]

"Stop." Huang Qiuyan lowers her head and wipes her tears. "I want a human male."

[System: Dear Host, your requirement is really top notch. Finding a human male during an apocalypse is quite hard. You are a vampire too. Humans are your food. Currently, humans in this world hate your kind. You shouldn't marry your food. ]

She has already lost her hopes. Having this system. Being a vampire. Her life is already over. It's her life that going through the apocalypse. Who cares about the world?

All she wants is to eat some chocolates. Even that's not possible anymore.

The system sighs after seeing her melodramatic thoughts. He rejects all the pops up for bride requests.

[System: Dear Host, I can find you the human males. Though finding one here is hard, I can easily find open-minded ones who are from different dimensions. I will post your data on the multidimensional dating site. I am sure that there is someone somewhere who is fine to marry a hybrid monster.]

[Host: System, dating a guy from another city is hard. You want me to marry one from another world?]

[System: Dear Host, you can travel to another world once you become stronger.]

Huang Qiuyan's highly imaginative brain is already running on full throes. An inter-dimensional love? If someone wants her from the other world, then it means that he truly wants her. Can she be greedy? Is there scope for real love? She doesn't mind.

[Host: Do it. I want to see who will be interested in someone like me.]

[System: Dear Host, there is a problem. I can easily see the requests in the inter-dimensional advertisement sites, but...]

"But?" Huang Qiuyan slows down again. "But what?"

[System: Dear Host, you need to become stronger. If you become stronger and do well, I will gain reputation points and become stronger in the systems' community. My rank will become higher if my host is doing well. In the inter-dimensional site, I will be the one who will represent you. It is quite important to have a good reputation and status to find a good match.]

His performance has been so bad that he doesn't even have a rank. He has already failed in saving his host once. Now, he is stuck with her for a whole life. The start has been bad, but he has come across a rare gem. His host is a cultivator. She is a hybrid vampire. She has managed to advance in ranks after drinking the noble blood.

He wants to be the top system. Then, his creator will understand his worth and regret abandoning him. He doesn't even need a creator to give him upgrades. Whenever his host is leveling up, he is also leveling up. Somehow, he has also changed when Huang Qiuyan turned into a hybrid vampire. He needs to understand himself better to help his host.

To enter the rank list, he has to do better.

She doesn't catch the double meaning in his words. A good reputation, background, and status also matter in arranged marriages. If she wants to marry a good man, she needs to do well.

"Alright." She has a big smile. "What do I have to do?"
