"I heard the rumors yesterday, saying that Saintless Mountain was committing all sorts of crimes, bullying merchants and travelers, and even disrupting wedding celebrations—their crimes deserve death!"
"As the Crown Prince of the Hidden Dragon Dynasty, it is my duty to restore peace to the world and deliver justice to the Situ family!"
Situ Taili and Cang Sheng repeatedly expressed their thanks.
They both knew the Crown Prince’s true intent was not what it seemed.
Still, the Crown Prince had put in some thought, and so father and son together invited the Crown Prince to sit for a meal.
During the feast, Cang Sheng’s grandfathers repeatedly urged the Crown Prince to take the seat of honor.
But he respectfully and firmly declined every time.
He was terrified!
By the end of the meal, the Crown Prince was drenched in cold sweat.
He had come to confirm whether the rumors were true.
What he did not expect was that these people’s presence was even more formidable than the rumors had suggested.
The Crown Prince could now be certain that any one of these middle-aged elders could easily level the entire Hidden Dragon Dynasty.
This made him feel a prickling tension and unbearable unease.
For the first time, he realized how insignificant the Hidden Dragon Dynasty was; for the first time, he understood that strength was the only true law.
These were not people who could be checked or restrained by sheer numbers.
The only course of action now was to seek friendly relations, to flatter and appease—to win over Cang Sheng and the Situ family.
Fortunately, Cang Sheng treated the Crown Prince with great courtesy.
Seizing the opportunity, the Crown Prince swore brotherhood with Cang Sheng, becoming sworn brothers of different mothers but the same bond.
With Cang Sheng’s support, the Crown Prince gladly returned to the dynasty, securing his succession to the throne.
Beyond the Crown Prince of the Hidden Dragon Dynasty, countless families and sects came calling one after another.
They came from every corner of the land, some from over a hundred thousand miles away.
Each of them brought generous gifts for Cang Sheng.
During this time, the Situ family’s threshold was worn down several times over.
Situ Taili was busier than ever each day.
Every day, the stream of gift-bearers left him overwhelmed.
In the past, the Situ family had never enjoyed such glory; it was all because of Cang Sheng and his grandfathers.
Most of all, the credit went to Mr. Yi—the master of these great powerhouses.
Though these great elders were terrifyingly formidable, they were actually quite easygoing.
They naturally treated the Situ residence like their own home, showing no restraint at all.
During the day, they would play chess and chat in the back courtyard, or teach Cang Sheng and his wife their martial techniques and swordsmanship.
"Ah, you should move this piece instead."
"A true gentleman watches the game without speaking!"
"Don’t meddle! You’ve made me mess up that move—it doesn’t count."
"Old Man Zhao, how can you backtrack and cheat? Have you no shame?"
"Old Man Li, you were the one who cheated first, and now you accuse me of being shameless—you’re utterly brazen!"
...
Two figures shot swiftly into the sky, and a thunderous boom echoed through the air.
Scenes like this had become commonplace to everyone.
Even the common folk of Li City had grown used to it.
Though these great elders had fierce tempers, the good thing was that even when they fought, they never disrupted daily life—except for the noise.
Still, many people enjoyed watching these powerhouses spar.
Even though they were far away and couldn’t see their techniques clearly, the battles of these great elders were like fireworks—dazzling, brilliant, and spectacular.
Yi Feng sat with a few old men, sipping tea and watching it all with calm detachment.
At night, the group of old men would shut the young couple in their room, forbidding them to leave.
They claimed it was because the day’s training had been too strenuous and they needed early rest to advance their cultivation quickly.
But in truth, they were eager for the young couple to start having children as soon as possible.
"Cang Sheng, Qingyi, you still have the pills your grandfathers gave you, right? Remember to take them before bed—they’re good for you!"
"My pills are beneficial for the next generation, so remember to take those too."
...
"Alright... Grandfathers."
"Mm-hmm, go rest now. Don’t leave the room unless you have to."
Cang Sheng and his wife, blushing, returned to their room, their hearts in disarray.
It was barely evening, and these grandfathers were far too impatient.
But newlyweds are naturally drawn to each other.
The young couple looked at one another, seeing the undeniable passion in each other’s eyes.
The night stretched long ahead.
To prevent any of them from eavesdropping, those mischievous old men each placed a barrier around Cang Sheng and his wife’s chamber.
Out of boredom, they began teaching the younger generation of the Situ family.
In their eyes, these youths’ talents were not even mediocre, but that hardly mattered—some of them were taken as nominal disciples.
For the young members of the Situ family, this was an immense stroke of luck.
Situ Taili was thoroughly pleased, going to sleep each night with a smile on his face.
A few days later.
Yi Feng arrived at the Situ residence.
The old men were in the midst of playing chess or instructing Cang Sheng and the others in cultivation.
Seeing Yi Feng approach, everyone stopped and bowed to him in greeting.
"We pay respects to our Master!"
"Greetings, Brother Yi Feng!"
"Greetings, Mr. Yi."
Yi Feng maintained a warm smile and gently waved his hand, saying, "No need for such formality."
Seeing his old companions in this state, Yi Feng felt a deep sense of contentment.
He patted Cang Sheng on the head and advised, "The curse upon you has been lifted. From now on, you and Qingyi must cultivate diligently. The Martial Spirit realm is not your ultimate goal—it is merely your beginning."
Hearing this, Cang Sheng’s heart trembled.
His eyes widened, and his heart pounded violently—he could hardly believe it. He had originally hoped to break his own curse through hard work and formidable cultivation, but he had never expected...
Yet after a few breaths, he let it go.
That’s right. For Yi Feng, whom these grandfathers called their master, his power was surely unfathomable.
To Cang Sheng himself, this curse had always been a heavy burden, especially after his marriage to Situ Qingyi.
But to Brother Yi Feng, it was merely a minor ailment, hardly worth mentioning.
Even though the curse was trivial to Yi Feng, its removal directly lifted the weight that had been pressing on Cang Sheng.
Cang Sheng’s gratitude toward Yi Feng was beyond words.
A wave of warmth surged in his heart, his nose stung, and tears spilled from his eyes.
Situ Qingyi gently wiped away his tears and held him tightly.
"Silly, thank Brother Yi Feng."
"Mm-hmm."
Cang Sheng nodded and choked out, "Thank you, Brother Yi Feng!"
Yi Feng smiled and patted Cang Sheng on the shoulder.
"I’ll come visit you all in a while."
"Oh, Brother Yi Feng, you’re leaving?" Situ Qingyi asked.
Yi Feng nodded slightly. "I still have some matters to attend to."
Cang Sheng looked a little downcast and quickly asked, "Brother Yi Feng, when will you return?"
"It’s uncertain. Could be as short as a few months, or as long as a hundred or a thousand years. Don’t forget me by then."
"So long?!" Cang Sheng asked in astonishment.
"Good grandson, for our master, ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye," Li Da comforted him.
"Exactly, grandson. When you’ve grown stronger and you miss our master, we’ll take you into the stars to find him," said Zhao Xing.
Hearing this, Cang Sheng looked even more dejected.
Yi Feng said calmly, "You all now possess boundless lifespans. A brief parting is only for a future reunion—there is no need for sorrow. I am always with you, always watching over you."
The elders bowed with clasped hands and said in unison, "We thank Your Majesty for your concern!"
Yi Feng looked at the elders and said earnestly, "You have wandered and fought, spending your lives on horseback. It is time for you to settle down and enjoy your twilight years. Stay here and keep Cang Sheng company."
"We obey."
Then, Yi Feng glanced at Cang Sheng and his wife, revealing a gentle smile.
His figure slowly faded and vanished from where he stood.
Cang Sheng reached out, wanting to grab hold of Brother Yi Feng, but his hands grasped only empty air.
He knew that Brother Yi Feng was always there; he was just not yet used to a life in which he couldn't see him.
Seeing her husband's disappointment, Situ Qingyi cupped Cang Sheng's face and planted a loud kiss on him.
Cang Sheng was startled for a moment, then broke into a sweet, silly grin.
The elders once again took up their games of chess, bragging, and brawling. Their days were peaceful and joyful—somewhat monotonous, yet still filled with the quiet beauty of time passing...
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.
