After finishing all of this, Qin Xiao's gaze finally fell upon the group of concubines.
"Kill them all without mercy!"
He had not the slightest bit of pity.
Once, he had indeed taken these women in out of pity.
After all, with their beauty, it was simply impossible for them to survive in this chaotic world.
They would only end up being sold off cheaply like mere cargo.
Qin Xiao had given them a stable home.
Yet, these women had listened to Wang Yuanyuan's words and chosen to betray him.
Therefore, the only thing awaiting them was death!
"No!!!"
"Your Majesty, please don't!"
"We were wrong! Spare us!"
"Sob sob! We were all deceived and bewitched by Wang Yuanyuan, it was not of our own free will! Your Majesty, we did not betray you!"
The concubines wept bitterly, begging desperately for mercy.
However, it was all too late.
From the very moment the greed in their hearts took the upper hand, their fate was sealed.
Squelch!
The long blades of the imperial guards swung down.
A resounding clang echoed.
A storm of blood and gore drenched the entire inner palace.
Thick blood pooled into streams, spreading out and soaking the hard stone floor.
Corpses lay strewn about, the stench of blood piercing the nose and eyes.
Qin Xiao looked down with cold indifference, his eyes as deep as an abyss, without a single ripple of emotion.
He walked toward the outside of the inner palace.
Seeing the maids on both sides.
He casually waved his hand.
"Kill these maids as well!"
He did not state a reason.
Since Wang Yuanyuan had bewitched the concubines, the maids naturally could not escape involvement.
It was only after Qin Xiao and the civil and military officials had exited the inner palace.
That the imperial guards finally closed the vermilion gates of the inner palace.
The heavy doors let out a deep thud.
Shing, shing, shing!
The guards drew their blades one after another.
The maids knelt on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.
They regretted everything.
This was a world where imperial power reigned supreme!
Why did they have to betray Qin Xiao!
Why did they listen to Wang Yuanyuan's nonsense!
If not for Wang Yuanyuan, they would never have ended up like this!
...
After Qin Xiao left the inner palace.
A group of people rescued Chancellor Cai Kun.
As soon as Cai Kun saw Qin Xiao, his tears immediately streamed down, his old face covered in weeping.
"Your Majesty! Your grace to this old minister is as heavy as a mountain! You have given me a second life!"
"If you hadn't saved this old minister, I fear that rebellious daughter would have killed me!"
Cai Kun hugged Qin Xiao's trouser leg, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, now that your inner palace is completely empty, this old minister feels guilty. Right now, I still have over a hundred unmarried daughters. I am willing to offer them to Your Majesty to fill the inner palace, in order to repay your great kindness!"
At first.
When the civil and military officials saw Cai Kun's miserable state and heard his words of loyalty, they were all somewhat moved.
It seemed they had wrongly blamed Chancellor Cai Kun.
But when Cai Kun uttered those last words, they suddenly realized the truth.
So Cai Kun's true goal was to gift his daughters!
Getting over a hundred of his daughters into the inner palace, what a brilliant scheme!
In the future, no matter who became the Empress.
The one to profit the most would be Cai Kun.
Qin Xiao looked at Cai Kun, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Cai Kun's daughters were all exceptionally beautiful.
But equally, they were also incredibly outrageous!
Qin Xiao waved his hand.
"The Great Qin has yet to unify the world, and I have no desire to take concubines. Let us drop this matter!"
Cai Kun sighed with great regret.
Finally, he said reluctantly:
"If Your Majesty ever wishes to take concubines, please be sure to consider my daughters!"
With that said.
He was carried away on a stretcher by the imperial guards.
Cai Kun was covered in wounds and looked utterly wretched.
Many of his bones were broken.
After watching Cai Kun leave, Qin Xiao finally opened his system.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task!
Task Three: The transmigrator dares to rebel? Let her witness the majesty of the Emperor! Reward: General Upgrade Cards! Ten pieces! (Can upgrade a general by one minor realm)
In the next moment, ten glittering golden General Upgrade Cards appeared in Qin Xiao's hand!
Qin Xiao wanted to test the effect of these General Upgrade Cards.
His gaze turned toward Lu Fengxian in the crowd.
"Lu Fengxian."
"Your Majesty! I am here!"
Lu Fengxian stepped forward, speaking weakly.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Lu Fengxian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Fengxian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I am fine, it's just..."
He looked at Qin Xiao with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.
Finally, under Qin Xiao's commanding gaze, Lu Fengxian sighed.
"Your Majesty, you are too strong!"
"So strong that it makes even me feel despair."
"Once, I still had hope of catching up to your footsteps, to follow Your Majesty in conquering the world."
"But now, Your Majesty's strength has long surpassed my imagination! It has reached an unprecedented level that no one will ever surpass!"
"Sometimes, I wonder if I might not be able to accompany Your Majesty to the very end..."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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."

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.
