Xia Lun sat on the edge of the bed. He didn't have the bad habit of smoking, so he casually popped a piece of candy into his mouth.
Aina had lied.
Her condition was nowhere near as good as she claimed.
Xia Lun was far from satisfied, yet she had already surrendered.
Looking at Aina lying beside him in such a disheveled state, Xia Lun took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the restless flames in his heart.
He didn't want to be sealed to the bed by Aina's magic again.
"Sorry, Xia Lun... I'm too useless." Aina turned her head. Seeing Xia Lun still looking so energetic, she slowly climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Xia Lun could feel a soft touch against his back.
"I've decided... to use forbidden methods, Xia Lun," Aina said, lightly biting his earlobe from behind.
"Oh?"
"As your wife, satisfying your desires is my duty... otherwise, who knows if you'll start having wild thoughts about other little girls."
"I wouldn't have such thoughts, Lord Demon King."
"Who knows? I don't know mind reading, so I can't guess what you're thinking."
Aina bared her sharp fangs and bit down on Xia Lun's neck.
The teeth pierced his skin and entered his blood vessels, but there was no pain at all. A gentle, tingling sensation made Xia Lun narrow his eyes in comfort.
Xia Lun tilted his neck slightly, making room so it would be easier for Aina to drink his blood.
The scarlet wings behind Aina trembled and rose high, and her snow-white skin gradually became a little rosy, regaining some color.
A moment later, Aina released her bite. She first licked the corners of her mouth, then stuck out her tongue to lick and tend to the wound on Xia Lun's neck.
The two small bloody holes left by the fangs on Xia Lun's neck rapidly began to heal under the effect of Aina's saliva, leaving no trace of a wound behind.
Some of the blood that had welled up inevitably flowed down Xia Lun's neck. Like the branches of a river, it trailed across his chest, down to his abdomen, and all the way to his thighs.
Aina was not one to waste her food, and her fragrant tongue slowly followed the trail of blood downward.
"Aina, don't you find that dirty?" Xia Lun finally couldn't help but press his hand against Aina's head, stopping her from exploring any further down.
"What's dirty about your body?" Aina, on the contrary, found the question baffling. "You don't secrete anything dirty, and we already took a shower before we did it. When we were in the bathroom, I even wiped your body down myself..."
"Cough, cough!" Xia Lun choked for a second. Aina really was completely outspoken.
"But, Aina... don't you think this kind of behavior is pretty perverted?"
"Oh?" Aina's tone rose slightly. "You don't like it?"
Xia Lun's breath caught. He couldn't lie to Aina. "I... I like it."
"Then there you have it. We make a perfect pair of perverted husband and wife."
Seeing Xia Lun's slightly embarrassed yet highly receptive expression, a sly light flickered in Aina's eyes. "Hakaka, how innocent, my Hero. Besides..."
Aina lowered her head and resumed her meal. "I am merely enjoying my dessert. Your blood is rich and sweet. It would be a shame to waste such tempting food."
Finally, the trickle of blood that had reached his lower abdomen was also licked clean by Aina.
"Xia Lun, you look as though you're still left wanting more."
"No, Aina, impossible. You're slandering me."
"Then do you need me to conjure a mirror for you with my magic?" Aina covered her mouth, savoring the lingering aftertaste on her taste buds.
Before Xia Lun could answer, a bright mirror was thrust right in front of his face. The Xia Lun in the mirror clearly looked a bit flushed and awkward.
"To think you could blush like a maiden... Hakaka, Hero, you really are cute."
Aina was clearly taking revenge. Once before, Xia Lun had taken her in front of a mirror to share a moment of pleasure, making Aina see her own posture crystal clear.
Feeling somewhat flustered and exasperated, Xia Lun grabbed Aina's shoulders.
But Aina did not panic in the slightest. Her gaze toward Xia Lun remained highly provocative, as if waiting for him to take the bait.
"This time I won't be as pathetic as before... Get ready to be squeezed dry, Xia Lun."
"Heh, Lord Demon King, just who gave you this confidence?" Xia Lun's robust body pressed down on her.
A tiny magic circle lit up in Aina's hand, which she then pressed against her own lower abdomen. The magic circle transformed into a complex, glowing pattern.
Xia Lun stared at the pattern on Aina's smooth, flat stomach and was slightly taken aback. "What is this? A spell to keep you from getting pregnant?"
"Of course not!" Aina scolded playfully. "This is a magic that lowers physical sensitivity... With this, you won't be a match for me. Prepare yourself, Xia Lun."
How does this girl know such a bizarre spell? Has she just been learning this kind of stuff over the past thousand years? Xia Lun grumbled inwardly, his mouth twitching.
"Aina, this is cheating, it's unacceptable... I'd much rather see your look of pleasure." Xia Lun gently stroked Aina's cheek and kissed her soft, pink lips.
"This is my own decision, Xia Lun." Aina let out a light hmph. "I must properly fulfill my duties as a wife and help you resolve your physical needs... Stop talking nonsense, if you're going to do it, just do it."
Helpless, Xia Lun could only let Aina have her way.
A moment later.
"Mnn... Xia Lun... I can't take it anymore..."
The magic was indeed useful, but not by much.
...
"Mnn... Xia Lun! I can't take it anymore! Ahhh..."
"Save me! Xia Lun!" As soon as Liyana ran into Xia Lun, she immediately hugged his thigh like she was grasping at a lifesaver, and then began to pour out her grievances. "It's really too hard! Those damn curtsies, those nodding angles that could snap a neck... and those endless dance steps! Spinning, spinning, and more spinning! My toes are about to run away from home! I don't want to learn any more of this bullshit court etiquette and ballroom dancing ever again... Waaah..."
The astrologer Sletta stood to the side with a beaming smile. Her gentle yet unquestionable voice softly rang out, "Lady Liyana, please mind your wording and image."
As if suddenly strangled by an invisible thread, Liyana's wails instantly got stuck in her throat.
Liyana's body immediately stiffened. She scrambled up from the ground and stood with her back perfectly straight, though the expression on her face remained full of grievance.
Xia Lun cast a surprised glance at Sletta. Just what kind of methods had she used to actually discipline a girl like Liyana into such total obedience?
"Your time to meet with friends is only ten minutes... After ten minutes, you will have to practice new dance steps, Lady Liyana." Sletta's gentle smile looked like that of an evil demon in Liyana's eyes.
Liyana's body trembled, and she collapsed back onto the ground.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
