The fading glow of the sunset spilled over, bringing with it the hazy golden light of dusk. The ground was covered in a sheet of gold.
In the courtyard,
Yi Feng was playing chess with Wu.
"Brother Yi Feng, let me tell you, recently a few old men came to the sect and are living in the woods over there. They keep sneaking glances in our direction. You can tell they are up to no good," Wu said softly to Yi Feng.
"Yeah, I noticed them already," Yi Feng said seriously, chess piece in hand. "They definitely don't seem like good people."
"I feel like they are peeping toms. If you don't believe me, take a look," Wu whispered.
Hearing this,
Yi Feng's gaze casually glanced over.
Sure enough.
Three men and one woman were lingering not far away in a small grove of trees, pretending to stroll around while sneakily peering in this direction.
"Yep, according to our intel these past few days, this esteemed one is likely just here to experience life."
"That would explain why he joined a small sect like Qingniu Sect, to experience life and play among the humans."
"Luckily we haven't revealed our cultivation bases. This way we can pretend to be mortals and get close to Senior, making it easier to build rapport."
"Hmph, like hiding our cultivation bases matters in front of him. Does he not already know who we are?"
"Sure he knows, but playing dumb is different. If this Senior pretends not to know we are the Martial Emperor while posing as a mortal to entertain him, he may even take a liking to us."
"You make a good point..."
Various voices came from the four.
Their faces were also filled with yearning.
After all, they were so close now to Senior, just waiting for the right chance. The opportunity was within grasp.
Suddenly,
Jian Hengtian could no longer contain the aura bursting from his body.
"Damn."
"Can't keep it suppressed anymore."
Jian Hengtian cursed under his breath, wanting to leave but finding his path blocked by the cold gazes of the other three.
"Jian Hengtian, we need an explanation."
"That's right, we need an explanation!"
"If you don't make everything clear today, don't even think about leaving!"
The three demanded.
"Hehe..."
"Um..."
"Hahaha..."
Jian Hengtian rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and explained,
"Actually, it's not a big deal..."
"I just happened to pick up some scraps last time in Yi Xian Valley."
"Hehe, so I accidentally reached the tenth level, just like that."
Jian Hengtian's words instantly reminded the three of the snake soup lying in Yi Xian Valley.
Their eyes widened in shock, guts twisting in regret.
So that was it.
The reason Jian Hengtian advanced so quickly was because he secretly licked that snake soup off the ground.
The three were furious!
This was utterly unfair.
Three huge opportunities had slipped through their fingers!
"Jian Hengtian, you scoundrel. You privately kept such a fortunate encounter to yourself without telling us. You're really crafty."
"That's right. I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared, claiming you needed to use the bathroom. Turns out you went off to feast alone."
"And you lied saying it was your Sword Emperor's legacy. You really fooled us miserably!"
The more the three spoke, the angrier they became. The jealousy in their hearts changed the way they looked at Jian Hengtian.
Seeing the three men approach threateningly, Jian Hengtian shivered and retreated repeatedly.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't be rash!"
"Impulsiveness is the devil, remember we are mortals now..."
"Ah!"
Before he could finish, a wretched scream.
Jian Hengtian was kicked to the ground by the three, then bombarded by a flurry of fists.
Spitting out mud, bruised and swollen, Jian Hengtian flipped Yun Tianlong over and pinned him down.
"Damn it, I'm at the tenth level now. Don't think I'm afraid of you lot. I told you guys to drink earlier but you insisted on pretending. Now you blame me?"
Seeing Yun Tianlong subdued, Liu Guyi and Li Canghai immediately pounced at Jian Hengtian again.
In no time,
the four were tangled in an indistinguishable brawl, wrestling with ordinary mortal strength to avoid exposing their cultivation.
Wrestling stripped their clothes to rags. It was an unbearable sight.
"Tsk tsk."
"Three men and one woman. How bold."
Yi Feng watched the four tumbling in the distance and immediately frowned.
These people are always sneaking around my door. They probably covet my beauty and are plotting something malicious...
If they have their way with my pure and flawless body, I may be...
Thinking this,
Yi Feng couldn't help but shudder.
He vowed on the spot to keep his distance from these people.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
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.
