Longing is the Longest Confession of Love

"Hisss—"

Outside Xinghuang City.

Jiang Xin scratched her none-too-bright head and stared at the city for a long while before confirming that this really was the place she remembered frequenting to buy snacks.

"Should be right, I remember this city looks like a piece of candy."

"Then the ruins by the city are definitely my family's little world."

Jiang Xin muttered under her breath, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"Haha!"

"Truly heaven never seals off all exits!"

She clapped her hands lightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated for a moment. A familiar ripple immediately came from some void outside the city, responding to her call.

Sure enough!

Jiang Xin opened her eyes, a flicker of surprise flashing within them.

Exactly as she had imagined.

"Ehehe! My little life is saved!"

Deliverance from the jaws of death!

Jiang Xin raised both arms in joy, dancing and spinning in place several times.

Smack—

Just as she was beside herself with glee, a tiny fist slammed right onto her forehead. Jiang Mingyue stood with her arms crossed, glaring at her furiously: "You worthless thing! Getting this excited over nothing? Don't forget today is the thirtieth day—hurry up and go find that bastard for the antidote?"

"Oh right, right, right."

Only then did Jiang Xin snap back to reality and rein in her smile.

The city was now full of experts, and she couldn't tell friend from foe, good from evil. If she rashly went to the entrance looking for the heartless man and got recognized, she'd be minced into meat sauce.

So was there any way to avoid entering the city?

And still find the heartless man?

Oh, there was, there absolutely was.

As the former Nine Nether Empress, even if she had fallen from grace now, she still retained a sliver of control over her little world.

Going in to find the heartless man now? No time for that.

Jiang Xin felt the boundary of her little world and walked until she reached a spot quite far from Xinghuang City before stopping. Then she pressed both hands tightly against the void.

"Heartless man... heartless man..."

Jiang Xin closed her eyes, carefully sensing Ye Shu's aura within the little world, planning to use her authority to directly yank him out of the ruins—like scooping a fish out of a pond.

Before long, she found him in a mountain forest.

"Found him!"

Jiang Xin's eyes lit up, and she yanked upward with all her might.

"Get OUT here!!!"

Meanwhile, inside the Nine Nether Ruins.

"You're not my daughter?"

Ye Shu, locked in a staring contest with Mu Xi, was about to ask for clarification when he suddenly felt an immense force seize him, as if someone had grabbed him and yanked him into the void.

"Huh?!"

Before he could react, his vision blurred, the world spun wildly, and then he found himself in a completely unfamiliar mountain hollow. Standing before him was a young woman with eyebrows perpetually curved in a pitiful, woebegone arch—one whose face screamed "born unlucky"—while Mu Xi was left alone in the valley, utterly bewildered.

"Where is he? Where did my big man go?"

She hadn't even gotten a clear answer about what it meant to have a daughter!

How could he just disappear?

That bastard! What a joke!!!!!

And at this moment, Ye Shu was completely lost.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

And who was this miserable-looking, hard-luck wife standing before him? Shouldn't she be at the Mo family waiting for his return?

"It's you..........."

Ye Shu was about to ask whether Jiang Xin had pulled him out of the ruins. After all, his foolish wife shouldn't have had that kind of ability, right?

Let alone running all the way from the Mo family to this place.

No.

Something was deeply, profoundly wrong.

But Jiang Xin didn't think so at all. She had no idea that in Ye Shu's eyes, a woman who was perpetually threatened, acted foolish and harmless, and appeared completely brainless had traveled thousands of miles to Xinghuang City and physically ripped him out of the ruins—what a shock and bewilderment that was for a demigod.

"Phew—finally found you!"

She just put her hands on her hips and let out a long breath.

Finally free from the shadow of death.

Today was already the last day; without the antidote, she'd definitely be dead!

"Daddy!"

The moment she saw Ye Shu, Jiang Mingyue instantly reverted to her child form, spread her arms wide, and threw herself at him in a super flying tackle, completely cutting off his train of thought.

"Mingyue missed Daddy so much!"

"Daddy misses you too." Holding the little cutie in his arms, Ye Shu replied instinctively.

A string of questions swirled in his mind.

Who exactly was Mu Xi?

If she wasn't his daughter, then who was she?

And why was Jiang Xin here?

He felt like his head was about to explode. How come so many strange things had been happening lately?

Ye Shu held Jiang Mingyue with one arm and looked at Jiang Xin, asking: "So, why are you here? And how did you manage to drag me out of the ruins?"

"Hehe! Didn't expect that, did you?"

"I'm pretty amazing!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xin raised her chin proudly.

Managing to snatch Ye Shu away from a bunch of people—she was absolutely showing off!

Anyway, since she was already here, she didn't plan to hide anything.

Ye Shu: ".........."

He looked at this silly girl, no different from a kid who goes on her first trip out of town and comes back acting like she's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"So what did you come to me for?" he asked with a helpless sigh. "Didn't I tell you to stay home and wait for me to come back?"

"That would be—"

Jiang Xin was about to say that of course it was because she'd eaten all the antidote like candy and came to get more from him.

But then she thought twice—

The mighty Nine Nether Empress, ruler of her clan in the fallen age, reigning supreme over her era, dying because she mistook antidotes for candy and overdosed?

That would be way too embarrassing!

She could tell Jiang Mingyue about it, but telling Ye Shu... especially while looking into his eyes, she felt incredibly awkward and just as aggrieved.

It was all this guy's fault.

On their wedding night, instead of drugging her with aphrodisiacs, he'd used poison—and why did the antidote have to taste so good, like candy? Who could resist that?!

All because of this big villain!

The more Jiang Xin thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt.

"What would that be?"

Seeing the silly girl on the verge of tears, Ye Shu quickly asked in a gentle voice.

"I... I........."

Jiang Xin looked up, sniffled, her eyes slightly red, staring at him with a pitiful expression before finally changing her answer.

"I missed you, that's all............."

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

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.
