After the Villainess Proposed to Me

“Ha… The first round has been barely managed.”

Seeing Litia leave, Wu Chen relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, letting out a sigh of relief.

If he had made even one wrong move earlier and the witch discovered he was just making things up, he might have been in serious trouble.

But despite the tension, Litia was surprisingly easy to deceive.

She actually believed such a lie.

But it was no wonder; with her immense power, she couldn’t hurt him, so the only possibility she could imagine was this one.

As for the state where couples cannot harm each other, witches in this world were never married, so how would they know about the special effects of marriage?

This is what happens when everyone around you is single.

Witches: I feel offended.

【Dear master, congratulations on surviving successfully!】

At that moment, a familiar electronic voice suddenly appeared in Wu Chen’s mind, almost making him jump off the sofa.

“This voice, is it from the game system? If you were here, you should have spoken up earlier!”

The sudden voice gave Wu Chen a sense of security.

Having mysteriously traveled to this world, this original game system now seemed to be his only support.

【I’m sorry, the witch was nearby just now. If I had spoken out recklessly, there was a high probability of being discovered by the enemy.】

【Moreover, a lot of energy was consumed to summon and transport you. The remaining divine power is insufficient to maintain my operation.】

【I will enter a complete sleep mode in approximately five minutes. Please consult me with any questions as soon as possible.】

What!?

Finally, I get a system, and now you’re telling me it’ll stop working in five minutes?

“What is the situation in this world? Why did you summon me here?”

Despite his urge to complain, he had to ask urgently due to the time constraints.

【”Isekai Love Melody” is a historical projection created based on this world using a special method. Its purpose is to find a hero who can save this world, defeat the witch’s forces, and break the deadlock.】

【You are the only player who has completely defeated the witch’s forces in the game, which is why you were chosen. We hope you can save this world.】

“Impossible, it’s hopeless, just wait to die.”

Wu Chen waved his hand dismissively.

“I found a loophole in the game to defeat the witches! This is reality, not a game. Where can I find a loophole to defeat the witches?”

He knew all too well how powerful the witches were.

Even if he was given a dragon-slaying sword with just a click, he still couldn’t one-shot the boss witch.

Give him a sword, and even if the witch stood still in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to kill her even if he hacked at her for a month.

【The game is a replica of reality, but the game and the real world are ultimately both creations.】

【There are loopholes in the game, so why wouldn’t there be in reality? I believe you can do it.】

【Don’t be afraid of any difficulties we face. Face them with a smile! Go for it, come on!】

Screw you!

If this system had a physical form, Wu Chen would definitely give it a big beating.

“To think I was dragged into this without my consent. Even the main god, the big light ball, would at least ask if you want to understand the meaning of life!”

“I want a refund! I want to return it!”

“This world has no new anime, games, or internet. I’m stuck tip toeing around the witches every day and there’s a constant risk to my life. How can I not be frustrated?”

“I think you should find someone else.”

【But the program has already decided that you will be the hero who saves the world.】

【And all the divine power has been exhausted for your transportation. Unless you can gather enough witch energy to reactivate me…】

“Where can I gather enough energy to reactivate you?”

【The storage box for your personal account in the game has been successfully transferred and can be used again.】

【Divine power depleted. System entering hibernation mode. Estimated time until next revival: 10,489 years, 39 days, 2 hours, and 57 minutes.】

“???”

Ten thousand years later? By then, everything will be long over.

Ten thousand years is too long, we only fight for today!

Wu Chen tried calling out several times, but there was no response. Even the electronic notification saying ‘system is in sleep mode’ had disappeared.

The only consolation was that his game’s storage box and system interface could still be used.

By clicking on the ‘Storage Box’ page, a vortex of emptiness would appear. He could then silently wish for the item he wanted and reach into the vortex to retrieve it.

Unfortunately, he found that none of his previously top-level epic equipment could be worn due to his current low level.

However, he successfully equipped a necklace adorned with various colorful rings.

【Elven Monarch’s Jade Love Ring】, 【Blue Diamond Ring blessed by the Deep Sea】, 【Goddess of Love’s Enchanting Rose Quartz Ring】, 【Oath of Eternal Love】, 【Eternal Dragon Heart】, 【Sisterly Bonding Pair】, 【Three Lifetimes’ Promise Platinum Ring】, 【Holy Blessing of Marriage】, and so on…

The system menu displayed various divine-level rings with special effects and colors.

There were so many wedding rings that he couldn’t wear them all. In frustration, he had created a necklace specifically for holding wedding rings.

Call me Lord of the Rings!

Wu Chen picked up one of the exquisite rings and reviewed its item description.

A gold-ring with green leaf carvings made from jade that sparkled under the sunlight.

【Elven Monarch’s Jade Love Ring: A ring crafted by the Elven Empress with the most precious jade, intended as a token of her affection. It was unfortunately stolen by some scumbag who used it to marry another woman.】

“Uh…”

Seeing the item description, Wu Chen scratched his head.

Sensing something was off, he selected another ring to check the description.

A deep blue diamond with various facets shimmering brilliantly.

A lustrous pearl surrounded the diamond, creating a delicate and intricate pattern.

Just looking at the azure ring made one feel as though they were immersed in the deep, clear sea.

【Blue Diamond Ring blessed by the Deep Sea: A ring crafted by the Mermaid Princess with priceless deep-sea diamonds and pearls. She gave it to her beloved, but was betrayed by the scumbag who used it to marry another woman.】

“???”

Could this scumbag in the item description be referring to me?

Divine-level rings capable of marrying witches or goddesses can only be crafted by goddesses or powerful witches.

Since he wanted to marry witches but couldn’t have them craft the rings, he set his sights on the goddesses instead.

Unlocking the ring crafting function required raising the goddesses’ favorability to the love level.

Thus, Wu Chen followed the game’s process, maxed out their favorability, collected materials and money, and requested the goddesses to craft the rings for him.

I only asked the goddesses to craft wedding rings, how did it turn into me being a scumbag who stole the rings to marry other women?

“Let’s think about this from another perspective. If a woman suddenly launched a strong romantic pursuit and was only one step away from proposing, and she requested that you give her a wedding ring, what would you think?”

“Of course, I would think she wants to marry me… Ah!!”

Wu Chen answered his own question.

He paused for a moment, then hugged his head.

So, the goddesses must have thought that my request for crafting rings was a marriage proposal to them?

But I ended up using the rings to marry witches!?

He hadn’t paid much attention before because it was just a game, but could it be that his actions were quite scummy?

“Damn!”

The goddesses in this world probably don’t remember these things, right? Hahaha…
