"It sounds easy, but who can bear the cost of killing a god? Are we supposed to summon those few?"
"Damn it, Mo Ziang is being impulsive!" someone muttered in frustration, tugging at their hair.
The meeting room buzzed with noise.
*Tap, tap, tap.*
The sound of fingers tapping on the table silenced the room. Everyone turned to look.
The handsome monk smiled faintly. "The god is not only powerful, but the laws he embodies are beyond our imagination. If we invite the Daoist ancestors or the Buddha to kill the god before he strikes, seize his laws, wouldn’t Huaxia be able to survive this calamity?"
The monk’s smile turned cold. "By then, Huaxia could become the calamity of all realms."
"Xuanyuan Jin, tone it down. Don’t forget you’re a monk. Monks shouldn’t speak so recklessly," someone sharply reminded him.
"Ahem," Xuanyuan Jin realized his mistake, clearing his throat and clasping his hands together. "Amitabha."
"..." The room fell silent.
Xuanyuan Jin was a prodigy among the Buddhist community, listed alongside Su Ze and Mo Ziang as key figures for cultivation. He had remained hidden within the Buddhist order for a long time, his name rarely heard, and only recently had he stepped out into the world.
Though, to be honest… he didn’t quite seem like a monk.
...
"I wonder what kind of level these so-called geniuses are at," Xuanyuan Jin muttered to himself as he stepped out of the meeting room, basking in the bright sunlight. "I’ll test Mo Ziang first."
A golden light shimmered, and he vanished from the spot.
...
The dining table was laden with a lavish spread, but the four people eating remained silent.
Yuan Qinghe kept his head down, focused on his meal. He glanced up briefly, catching sight of his wife’s expressionless face. His hand, about to reach for a dish, froze mid-air.
He was a man who feared his wife. Uesugi Akizuki had never hit him, nor had she ever scolded him harshly, but he was terrified of her. Seeing her like this only made him more afraid.
The little glutton was stubbornly trying to crack open a crab. With a *splat*, the crab split in two, its juices splattering across her face. She blinked in confusion for a moment.
Su Ze sighed, pulling out a tissue to wipe her face.
The little glutton placed half of the crab in Su Ze’s bowl and started munching on the other half herself.
This scene didn’t escape the notice of Uesugi Akizuki and Yuan Qinghe. A flicker of surprise crossed Uesugi Akizuki’s eyes, while Yuan Qinghe showed no reaction, continuing to force down his tasteless meal.
After dinner, the little glutton was taken outside by Yuan Qinghe. Su Ze felt a pang of anxiety—was it to shield her from witnessing something bloody?
Despite his unease, Su Ze’s face remained calm.
"Follow me," Uesugi Akizuki said, standing up and leading him upstairs.
"What’s your relationship now?" Uesugi Akizuki asked bluntly.
"Lovers," Su Ze answered without hesitation.
Uesugi Akizuki visibly stiffened. Su Ze noticed her fists clenching tightly.
Even though she had prepared herself for this, hearing it from Su Ze still made her want to punch him!
It was infuriating—her precious daughter, raised with so much care, had been swept away by this white-haired young man. The thought alone was enough to make her blood boil.
Uesugi Akizuki continued walking upstairs, and Su Ze let out a quiet sigh of relief. It seemed he was safe—for now.
"Do you know about Akizuki’s background?" Uesugi Akizuki knelt before the tea table, starting to brew tea.
Su Ze knelt across from her. "Her family history?"
"..."
"No, I don’t," Su Ze admitted when no response came.
"Do you know why the Rakshasa came to Huaxia?"
Uesugi Akizuki stood up and walked to the table behind her, where a rack of swords stood. She picked up an ornate katana, about 1.4 meters long. Its scabbard was pink, wrapped with intertwined bandages, and the hilt was bound with black cord, forming diamond-shaped patterns.
She returned to her seat, placing the long sword beside her.
Su Ze’s expression didn’t change. "Because the Rakshasa betrayed the yakuza in Japan."
"..." Uesugi Akizuki paused briefly. "You’re right, but not entirely. Have you heard of the God-Making Project?"
Her words made Su Ze’s brows furrow.
"It’s a ritual where children with pure Oni blood are sacrificed to the Oni King. The Oni King’s laws are then infused into a chosen vessel."
"And Uesugi Akizuki is that chosen vessel." Uesugi Akizuki poured a cup of tea for Su Ze. Seeing his slightly puzzled expression, she didn’t beat around the bush and poured herself a cup as well.
"The chosen vessel is merely a temporary container for the laws. Once they find a suitable candidate, they’ll kill the vessel and transfer the laws to that person."
"Guess how many people this ritual will sacrifice?" Uesugi Akizuki held up three fingers.
"Go big?" Su Ze asked.
Uesugi Akizuki didn’t respond, simply raising her other hand to sip her tea.
"Three hundred million."
"..." Uesugi Akizuki struggled to keep the tea from spitting out of her mouth.
Su Ze shook his head. "Japan’s population isn’t even half of that."
"Pfft!" Uesugi Akizuki sprayed tea onto Su Ze’s face.
Su Ze wiped his face, exasperated.
Uesugi Akizuki coughed a few times, regaining her composure, and used a handkerchief to clean up the mess.
"Three thousand."
"...Three thousand… is that all?" Su Ze raised an eyebrow.
Uesugi Akizuki’s grip on the handkerchief tightened, her knuckles cracking as she tried to suppress her anger. "Is that all?"
"...Uh," Su Ze felt a bit awkward, realizing he’d been disrespectful.
Three thousand people seemed trivial to him. On the first day of the Blood Moon, he’d killed over five thousand demons.
"You need to understand, these three thousand are all young Oni. And the Oni population is already scarce!"
Su Ze understood now—it was a matter of rarity, like precious resources.
Moreover, sacrificing young Oni would leave the already dwindling population without a new generation, severely impacting their numbers.
"Akizuki is the way she is… ahem," Uesugi Akizuki coughed, glossing over the details, "because she was chosen as the vessel from a young age and kept isolated in a shrine, cut off from the outside world."
"I led my clan in defecting from Japan to Huaxia, searching for a place to settle."
"Her father, Yuan Qinghe, stayed behind in Japan to protect her, pretending not to know I had betrayed the country. But even so, he’s under strict surveillance."
Su Ze’s assumptions weren’t far off. He could tell the middle-aged man earlier was the little glutton’s father, not only from his casual demeanor around Uesugi Akizuki but also from his resemblance to her.
The fact that Su Ze’s casual joke had nearly short-circuited the man’s brain further confirmed his identity.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
