The night was silent and lonely.
A pair of bright eyes quietly awakened in the darkness, containing a deep purple light within, swirling with countless stars, as if they could pull a person's soul in.
Inside a pitch-black little room.
A tiny figure silently sat up from the bed, barefoot, standing extremely lightly on the mattress, staring at the two people sleeping embraced.
"Worthless thing!"
Jiang Mingyue fixed her gaze on Jiang Xin, who was clinging tightly to Ye Shu without letting go, even nuzzling comfortably into his chest. She couldn't help but stomp her little foot on Jiang Xin's face.
"You're embarrassing the Emperor!"
She turned around, looking out the window, her eyes icy cold.
"Truly a bunch of clueless wretches, daring to disturb the Emperor's sleep."
The moment the words left her lips, her figure vanished abruptly.
At the same time, not far from the courtyard, on the eaves of a house, two men in black were crouching on the roof, speaking in low voices.
"Confirmed? The target is inside?"
"Confirmed. That Mo Shisan fellow came back today and is now..."
Their conversation suddenly stopped.
Because a tiny figure had already appeared in the shadows behind them, like a silent ghost.
"You two... who are you looking for?"
A childish voice came from behind them. The two brothers’ hearts clenched simultaneously as they spun around sharply.
Under the moonlight stood a doll-like little girl, about three or four years old, barefoot, wearing a loose pink nightgown, clutching a cloth doll in her arms. She tilted her head, looking at them with curiosity.
"This... how is this possible?"
A cold sweat immediately trickled down the brothers' temples.
They hadn’t even sensed when she had arrived, and she was only a child of three or four?
What kind of joke was this?
"Hmm? Why aren't you talking?"
Jiang Mingyue tilted her head, blinking her big, clear eyes like a harmless little rabbit.
The two men in black exchanged a quick glance.
Yes, this little girl might very well be the culprit behind the frequent disappearances in Mo's branch.
"Time to scram!"
One of them instantly turned and fled, while the other raised his hand, gathering spiritual energy in his palm, intending to create a loud noise to wake everyone in the entire branch.
But just as he raised his hand—
A tiny hand had already pressed down on his wrist, and the spiritual energy around him dissolved completely, impossible to gather.
"What?!"
The man in black looked up sharply.
Jiang Mingyue raised a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture, and winked playfully.
"Shhh~"
"You can't make loud noises at night. If you wake Father, I'll be really troubled~"
"Come, look into my eyes, time to sleep~"
Jiang Mingyue's voice carried a kind of ethereal cadence, making people involuntarily want to peer deeper into whatever lay within those purple pupils.
The man in black instinctively met her purple gaze, trembled all over, and his pupils instantly went blank. Then they quickly regained clarity, as if nothing had happened, and he said dully:
"Yes... Master..."
"Good~ That's a good child~"
Jiang Mingyue nodded with satisfaction, then vanished into the night with a flicker of movement.
The next moment—
"Hey, you guys were peeping just now, weren't you?"
Her figure appeared suddenly behind a few other men in black a kilometer away. She tapped their shoulders lightly, making a soft sound.
"Ah... ah ah..."
The men in black turned their heads stiffly, only to meet a pair of purple pupils swirling with endless vortices.
"Ahhh!!!"
The night was silent and lonely, stars like diamonds.
Jiang Mingyue sat on the eaves of the courtyard, her fair little feet dangling in the air, swaying.
She raised her right hand high and gently opened it.
Under the moonlight, about a dozen black souls swirled in her palm, letting out faint wails.
"Let me go! Please, let me go!"
"We were just following orders!"
Those souls struggled and howled in her palm, their voices piercing but unable to escape the confines of her hand, as if trapped by an invisible barrier.
"Tough luck for you all, I suppose?"
Jiang Mingyue shook her head helplessly, then picked up the cloth doll from her arms and stuffed the souls into its belly one by one, like dropping candies into a pouch.
"Mm... tonight's harvest isn't bad."
She patted the cloth doll's round stomach, then lazily stretched, gazing at the solitary moon hanging high in the night sky, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"There's still time tonight. Maybe..."
"Hehe!"
The next moment, Jiang Mingyue's figure disappeared entirely.
---
In a valley not far from the Mo family branch,
a white-clad figure sat among the mountains. She raised a delicate hand, and several demonic beasts fell dead instantly.
Xia Hanmo skillfully extracted the beast cores.
After the last battle, most of her paper puppets had been lost, and she now needed to replenish her materials.
She was focused on processing the cores when suddenly she felt a strange pang of unease.
That familiar sensation...
"Murderous intent!"
Xia Hanmo snapped her head up.
There, on a green rock not far away, stood a little girl clutching a cloth doll, staring coldly at her.
In those clear eyes, a hint of purple gleamed.
Something that made anyone instinctively want to delve deeper.
Not good!
Xia Hanmo reacted swiftly. The moment she saw those eyes, she instinctively pulled a pill from her storage ring and swallowed it.
Awakening Pill—could block all illusion techniques.
"Oh?"
Seeing her trick fail, Jiang Mingyue let out a light exclamation, looking at Xia Hanmo with curiosity. "So it's a Chaos Poison Physique. No wonder you can resist the Sovereign's Purple Extreme Demonic Eye."
"Who are you? I don't think I've offended you."
Xia Hanmo stared coldly at the little girl, her right hand quietly gripping a handful of powder.
Jiang Mingyue tilted her head, a naive smile on her face.
"You haven't offended the Sovereign."
"But the smell on you—the Sovereign really doesn't like it. Especially... when it's stuck on another person."
"Smell? Another person?"
Xia Hanmo paused, her mind racing.
Soon, she understood the key point. This was another woman who liked Ye Shu, coming to cause trouble.
As expected of that guy—even a repeat-blooming flower shows up.
Xia Hanmo silently mocked in her heart.
But on the surface, she wouldn't back down. She glanced disdainfully at the little girl before her, her tone laced with provocation.
"So, you're just a kid who hasn't even grown a hair yet," she said.
"You little thing, learning to fight over a man?"
"Don't make me laugh."
"Because..." Xia Hanmo said, propping her hands on a nearby tree, bending over, sticking out her rear, and striking an extremely seductive pose. "I was with him last night, you know..."
Xia Hanmo sneered at her, as if to say,
"With that tiny body of yours, can you even do that?"
"Excellent. Just excellent, you."
Jiang Mingyue's eyes locked onto her, a burst of purple light flaring suddenly in her gaze, and the black hair on her little head began to float upward on its own...
[Xia Hanmo: She must have mistaken that for physical intimacy. Chapter continues—First time miss, second time a catch, this old monster driving the plot on repeat, laughing to death.]
[Author's note: Pfft, there's actually someone selling cuteness.]
Jiang Mingyue clenched her delicate fists, her gaze icy cold as she stared at her. "The Sovereign originally only intended to teach you a lesson, but now I've changed my mind."
"Is that so? And how do you plan to change your mind?"
Xia Hanmo looked at her with a smile playing on her lips.
Their gazes collided in the air, igniting a spark—an unprecedented battle was on the verge of erupting.
Then, in an instant.
Boom!
Their figures slammed together in a single explosive clash.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)
