The white-clothed woman stared blankly at Yi Feng.
Anger was roiling in her heart.
She was determined that even if she had to crawl away or die here, she would not get on Yi Feng's shoulder.
However, unexpected to her, Yi Feng directly swung a stick at her without saying anything twice, hitting the back of her head.
Already weak with her cultivation gone, she was instantly dizzy and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, making such a fuss. Doesn't she know where we are?"
Yi Feng scolded as he threw away the stick in his hand, grabbed the white-clothed woman and carried her on his shoulder before leaving this place.
In a mountain cave.
The firelight flickered.
The white-clothed woman finally woke up from her coma and remembered what had happened before. Her pretty face was full of frost.
But as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that Yi Feng was holding her long sword against her neck.
"Let's have a chat?"
Yi Feng looked down at her and said.
"About what?"
The woman said coldly.
"First of all, I didn't mean to offend you. Knocking you out was unavoidable. At night, beasts roam everywhere. I don't want to die because of you." Yi Feng said in a deep voice.
"Then you could have just left me alone." The woman said indifferently.
"I could have left you alone, but I believe in repaying favors. You helped me kill a lion before, so I saved you to repay that favor." Yi Feng said.
The woman opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond.
"Of course, saving you is one thing. Now that we're safe, we need to make things clear." Yi Feng said, "So no matter if you resent me for knocking you out, you have to promise not to kill me, because no matter what, I'm your lifesaver."
The woman pondered slightly.
Although this mortal was very hateful and made her want to kill him a few times, she had to admit that this mortal did save her life.
"I promise you."
She nodded.
"You have to swear, make a poisonous oath, with your cultivation, your Dao heart, your whole family, swear." Yi Feng added, listing almost all the poisonous oaths he could think of that would be effective for cultivators.
"You..."
The woman's face turned ugly.
But seeing Yi Feng's determined look, she gritted her teeth and nodded.
Then in front of Yi Feng, she made all the poisonous oaths Yi Feng could think of.
"Very good."
Yi Feng nodded in satisfaction and threw away the long sword in his hand before sitting down on the ground.
"Let's talk about what to do next." Yi Feng said.
"You say."
The woman looked at him and said.
"I'll give you two options."
Yi Feng said, "First, we part ways with no debts owed. This is what I prefer. But I also have to make it clear to you that with your cultivation sealed and no different from an ordinary mortal, plus you're injured, you probably can't last long, either dying from thirst and hunger or getting eaten by beasts and becoming..."
"Alright, stop there."
Knowing Yi Feng was going to say she would become feces, she quickly interrupted, "Just tell me the second option."
"Okay. The second option is you follow me, but from now on, you have to unconditionally obey my arrangements, no nagging, no messing around." Yi Feng said.
"You want me to listen to you, a mere mortal?" She asked incredulously.
"Yes, and unconditionally."
Yi Feng nodded solemnly, picked up the long sword on the side, and said, "Of course, from now on, this sword will be temporarily used by me. I'll have a decent weapon when encountering beasts."
"You can temporarily use the sword, but making me listen to you is impossible!"
She shook her head firmly with an adamant look.
"Then there's nothing more to discuss. Let's part ways!"
Yi Feng shrugged, threw the long sword back on the ground, and started preparing to leave.
"You..."
Seeing this, the white-clothed woman was so angry her face turned red and she clenched her teeth tightly.
But she had to admit that she really needed Yi Feng right now.
If Yi Feng left, with her current state, she would likely die a miserable death.
"Alright, I agree to you."
Finally, after much hesitation, she reluctantly agreed through gritted teeth with great unwillingness on her frosty face.
"It would have been so much better if you had agreed earlier instead of making me pick things up and put them down repeatedly."
Yi Feng gave her an annoyed look, picked up the long sword from the ground again, and started admiring it eagerly.
He remembered how amazing this sword was.
With just one slash...
It created such a huge sword light in an instant.
"By the way, you should be a bit stronger than Martial Spirit, right?" Yi Feng asked while admiring the long sword.
"Martial Spirit?"
The white-clothed woman was puzzled, then nodded.
"Then you really are quite a master."
Yi Feng nodded solemnly, "But don't look down on me either. I've spent some time with Martial Spirit before and witnessed his powers firsthand. You could say we're half friends!"
The woman turned her frosty face away, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Right, you said you were fighting beasts before. Are there really beasts in this mountain?" Yi Feng suddenly recalled something important and quickly asked.
"You haven't encountered any?"
The woman asked in surprise.
"Of course not, otherwise why would I ask you?" Yi Feng retorted.
The woman was stunned, then asked again, "I remember you said you wanted to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains to get to Pingjiang City?"
"That's right."
Yi Feng nodded.
"But there's an official road, why don't you take that?" asked the woman.
"The road is full of bandits." Yi Feng replied.
"So you mean, to avoid the bandits, you decided to cut through the Hundred Thousand Mountains instead?" The woman looked at Yi Feng in surprise.
"Yes."
"In my opinion, the mountains are much safer than the road."
Yi Feng quickly nodded in agreement.
Hearing Yi Feng's words, the woman had an indescribable expression. She thought to herself, just what kind of weirdo did she run into?
He actually thinks the Hundred Thousand Mountains are safer than the official road?
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
