"Come in."
That voice suddenly rang out.
Like a sudden clap of thunder, it instantly shattered the romantic fantasies in her mind.
Without any hesitation.
Ji Shuanghua did not even bother to tidy her messy, beggar-like hair. She pushed the door open and stumbled inside.
"En... Daoist Li."
As soon as she entered, a scent so thick it was almost tangible slammed into her face like a heavy hammer.
The smell... was too overwhelming.
Her gaze swept past Gu Yang, who was sitting in a chair, and fixed upon the messy bed.
She saw the woman wrapped in a gray robe, revealing half of her snow-white calves.
She subconsciously looked at Gu Yang.
The man maintained his indifferent demeanor, holding a cup of cold tea, without a single wrinkle on his clothes.
This extreme contrast made him appear even more dangerous, yet even more fascinating in Ji Shuanghua's eyes.
"Have you seen enough?"
Gu Yang spoke coldly.
Ji Shuanghua withdrew her gaze as if electrocuted and dropped to her knees with a thud.
"Daoist Li..."
Her voice trembled. She kept her head down, not daring to meet Gu Yang's eyes, yet greedily sniffed his lingering scent in the air.
"I have been outside the whole time..."
"I didn't let anyone come near..."
Gu Yang put down the teacup, the bottom clinking sharply against the table.
"I don't want to take her with me."
Gu Yang pointed at Lin Qingwan on the bed.
"She now possesses the Flawless Spiritual Physique."
"I want you to take her away."
Ji Shuanghua was stunned.
"Isn't the Supreme Sword Sect known as the number one sword sect in the Eastern Region?"
Gu Yang's voice was flat. "This kind of physique should be a perfect match for practicing your Supreme Forgetfulness Sword Manual, which severs all emotions and desires, right?"
Ji Shuanghua's pupils shrank slightly.
She instantly understood Gu Yang's intention.
He wanted to stuff Lin Qingwan into the Supreme Sword Sect!
But if she entered the Supreme Sword Sect, with the sect's protection and that special physique, she would definitely become a core disciple.
Was he... placing a pawn?
"You want... to make her your chess piece in the Supreme Sword Sect?"
Ji Shuanghua looked up, her eyes burning with fanaticism.
He was indeed far-sighted!
Even at a time like this, he was scheming!
"A chess piece?"
This crazy woman really had an overactive imagination.
In truth, Gu Yang had not thought that much at all.
It was purely because the sword cultivators of the Supreme Sword Sect were a bunch of stubborn fools who only knew how to practice with their swords, making them relatively "safe."
Moreover, although Ji Shuanghua, the "Holy Maiden," was a pervert, she held a very high status in the sect.
Throwing Lin Qingwan to her was the most suitable choice.
"I... I am willing!"
Her voice was somewhat agitated.
Not because she could save Lin Qingwan.
But because this was Gu Yang's task.
"I will take her back to the sect!"
Ji Shuanghua spoke extremely fast, afraid that Gu Yang would change his mind. "I have a True Disciple Token. I can directly take her in as a sword attendant, or even accept her as a disciple on behalf of my master!"
Gu Yang nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well. Take her and go."
"Yes."
...
...
The midnight hour had arrived.
[Daily intelligence refreshing...]
[Today's intelligence is as follows:]
[White Intelligence: The Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, Su Wanyin, has safely returned to the sect. She publicly announced that she is in secluded cultivation to heal her injuries, but in reality, she hides in the underground secret chamber of her sleeping quarters every night.
She does not sleep on the Holy Maiden's bed made of ten-thousand-year warm jade, but instead curls up in the old gray robe you gave her. That is the only warm bed where she can feel "safe" in this cold demonic sect.]
[White Intelligence: Although Su Wanyin has lost her primal yin and the Exquisite Heart of the Pure Maiden, it was a blessing in disguise. Her foundation was reshaped by the Great Sun True Fire, and she cultivated the even more overbearing "Extreme Yang Charm Body".
She regards you as the only "True Demon" in this world and has secretly sworn that the day she takes control of the Hehuan Sect will be the time she exhausts the sect's entire power to help you reach the summit.]
[Green Intelligence: In half a month, the Hehuan Sect will hold the "Holy Maiden Selection".
Because Su Wanyin's cultivation has fallen to the early Foundation Establishment stage and she has lost her primal yin, she has faced doubts from within the sect and suppression from another Holy Maiden candidate. She desperately needs a powerful and trustworthy Foundation Establishment stage genius as a helper to demonstrate her connections and participate in the "Bloody Magic Battle" on her behalf.]
[Golden Intelligence: The previous generation's Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, Su Wanyin's master "Fairy Lingshuang" Zhao Yueyi (late Core Formation stage), suffers from a strange illness called "Thousand-Thread Soul Entanglement Syndrome". Her divine soul is heavily wrapped by invisible "fiendish threads", causing her to suffer daily, and her cultivation realm has stagnated for years.
No one knows that this poison can only be cured by the "Concentric Gu", which has long been extinct in Miaojiang. This Gu worm is currently sealed in the southeast corner of the inner hall of the "Immortal Burial Forbidden Ground" near Holy Heaven City... [Click to view coordinates]
In half a month, Li Qingzhe, a disciple of the Eastern Gu Sect, will wander into this place by mistake. After retrieving the Gu worm, he will accidentally cure Zhao Yueyi, not only gaining her true inheritance but also winning her heart, eventually becoming Dao Companions.]
Gu Yang skimmed over the intelligence regarding Su Wanyin, feeling a trace of strange emotion in his heart.
That old robe was something he had given casually; he didn't expect it to become her spiritual sustenance in this man-eating sect.
The Extreme Yang Charm Body could be considered her blessing in disguise.
As for that Golden Intelligence...
It didn't matter who Zhao Yueyi or Li Qingzhe was; the important thing was the Golden Intelligence itself.
Intercepting Golden Intelligence would yield 100 Destiny Points; that was definitely not to be missed.
His gaze continued to move down, eventually stopping at the last piece of intelligence.
[Red Intelligence (Supplement): In half a month, worldly anomalies will arise. The Eternal Night Empress, Tantai Jin, who has been slumbering in the 'Immortal Burial Forbidden Ground' for three thousand years, is about to awaken.
The demonic cultivator Mo Bufan (descendant of the Blood River Sect) has already learned of this secret. He will, under the guidance of the remnant soul of Patriarch Blood River, prepare to forcefully defile the Empress's coffin, forcefully break the 'Dual-Polarity Soul Exchange Array', and refine her into a 'Heavenly Corpse Puppet' while her true spirit is weak. However, he will accidentally trigger a reverse slave contract, carving a contract slave mark within the body of Empress Tantai Jin.]
Mo Bufan?
"Descendant of the Blood River Sect, Asura Blood Fiend Physique, a portable grandpa..."
"I originally thought that by snatching his Primal Chaos Five Elements Lotus in the Biluo Secret Realm, this leek would have been ruined. I didn't expect this. Worthy of being a Child of Destiny, his life is tougher than a cockroach's."
"I wonder if he liked the blame he took last time."
"He still wants to refine the Eternal Night Empress into a corpse puppet?"
"With me around, that is absolutely impossible."
...
...
Half a month ago.
Shortly after the end of the Biluo Secret Realm.
Thousands of miles away, in a hidden valley shrouded in blood mist all year round.
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying pillar of blood-red light shot up into the sky, instantly shredding the clouds within a hundred miles into pieces.
Within that bloody light, a young man covered in bloodstains and wearing a tattered green shirt howled at the sky.
"Ahhh!!!"
The howl was filled with long-suppressed grievance, anger, and the ecstasy of finally breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly.
After a long time, the bloody light faded.
Mo Bufan, bare-chested, floated in mid-air.
His previously severed right arm had now grown back, except that the newly formed arm took on a bizarre dark red color, covered in ferocious demonic patterns, as if it were a demonic arm sealing an evil spirit.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
