"Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to have changed?"
Lu Fengxian gazed at Qin Xiao's retreating figure.
In a daze, he seemed to see a sovereign standing proudly between heaven and earth, one who lords over the nine heavens!
"I feel His Majesty is different from before."
Jia Xu nodded earnestly.
Although Qin Xiao's appearance hadn't changed, he sensed that the current Qin Xiao was even more terrifying than before!
"Qin Xiao! You owe me your life!"
Qin Rushuang, who had remained silent until now, rushed forward.
She confronted Qin Xiao.
She lowered her head, scanning the scene.
Seeing her father, mother, and younger sister lying in pools of blood, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Qin Xiao! Look! Look at what you have done!"
"They were your closest family!"
Qin Rushuang questioned him angrily.
"You've changed! You've become so unfamiliar! You are no longer the Qin Xiao I once knew!"
Qin Xiao's expression was cold and detached.
"Yes, you are right. This emperor is no longer the Qin Xiao who allowed himself to be bullied and humiliated!"
"You can no longer lord over me!"
"What? Can't handle the truth?"
"Enough! Qin Xiao! Say no more! If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago! You owe me your life!"
Qin Rushuang screamed hysterically, tears cascading down her cheeks.
Drop by drop, the tears fell to the ground, freezing into ice upon impact.
She could never have imagined things would turn out like this.
That young boy from the past, the one who admired and respected her, had turned into such a vicious-hearted person!
In the past, she and Qin Xiao were very close. One could say she was the person Qin Xiao cared about most!
Moreover, she had once saved Qin Xiao's life!
If not for her, Qin Xiao would have long since succumbed to his injuries and illness!
At this moment, Qin Rushuang's cold poison erupted.
Her face gradually paled, ice crystals forming on her skin, emitting a bone-chilling, piercing cold!
"Rushuang! What's wrong with you?"
Empress Dowager Wen, ignoring the pain in her own body, struggled to rise from the ground and ran to Qin Rushuang's side.
She reached out to touch Qin Rushuang, but the piercing cold invaded her body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
"Qin Xiao! Can't you stop being so willful!"
"Come and save Rushuang now!"
Empress Dowager Wen shouted loudly, her tone filled with urgency.
Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of satisfaction appearing within them.
"Save her? This emperor would sooner save a dog than save her!"
"You!"
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Wen was so angry her body swayed.
Qin Xiao's words were simply too harsh!
It made her lose her composure in an instant.
"Mother Empress, don't beg this malicious person!"
Qin Rushuang looked at Qin Xiao, her eyes filled with alienation and hatred!
"Qin Xiao, ever since you were found and brought back to the palace, I have not wronged you in the slightest!"
"Knowing you grew up outside, I showed you extra care and consideration!"
"When you were severely injured and waiting for death, it was I who paid any price to move the Divine Physician to save you!"
"But you... but how have you treated me!"
Qin Rushuang's face was full of sorrow and despair, her eyes roiling with fury!
"You actually ruined my marriage!"
"If not for you, I would have long been married to Brother Shen! This cold poison would have been cured!"
"But you stopped me, using force to oppress Brother Shen, subjecting him to all kinds of humiliation!"
"Qin Xiao, I hate you! I hate you so much I could eat your flesh and skin you alive!"
Qin Rushuang shrieked, her voice desolate, utterly heartbroken!
Hearing this, Qin Xiao was slightly taken aback.
It wasn't out of guilt.
But because he remembered the incident.
This so-called 'Brother Shen' was named Shen Han, a disciple of the Buddhist sect.
Known as the 'Buddhist Prince of the Capital Circle,' countless noblewomen and young ladies were infatuated with him.
Of course, this guy was no good person either.
He cultivated sinister arts and had drained who knows how many women through his practices.
Upon learning of Qin Rushuang's unique constitution, Shen Han set his sights on her.
He deliberately engineered chance encounters, getting along famously with Qin Rushuang.
Qin Rushuang's heart was completely lost to him.
Over time, their affection grew, and they pledged vows of eternal love.
Just as they were about to marry,
Qin Xiao, who was campaigning abroad at the time, suddenly returned.
Without a word, he grabbed Shen Han and gave him a severe beating.
After causing a major scene at the Buddhist temple,
the wedding was called off amidst discord.
Ever since that incident, Qin Rushuang began to hold a grudge against Qin Xiao.
Their relationship gradually grew distant.
Even though Qin Xiao later explained what kind of person Shen Han truly was, Qin Rushuang simply refused to believe it, even going so far as to curse Qin Xiao for being vicious and unworthy of being human.
"If you, Qin Xiao, have any conscience left at all, then you should exhaust your cultivation to cure me, transferring the cold poison into your own body!"
Qin Rushuang's face grew paler and paler. Hugging her shoulders, her body trembled incessantly, and even the mist from her breath crystallized into ice.
Yet the look in her eyes remained as venomous as ever.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao felt like laughing.
Really?
How could Qin Rushuang be so confident?
Was it all because of that one act of saving his life?
He had long since repaid that debt of gratitude through years of servitude and loyalty.
Just as Qin Xiao was about to speak,
the System's voice rang out.

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...
