The Last Hour

At this moment, Yi Feng had circled back to the Nine Realms once again.

The wind rustled through the branches, whispering softly. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the uneven ground, lazy and fragmented.

Such an afternoon should have been tranquil, with the wind and sunlight exuding a sense of idle silence.

However...

The wind and sunlight now carried laughter and joy.

Sweet nothings drifted on the breeze, and the playful banter of lovers was enough to make one cringe.

Yi Feng looked around in bewilderment.

How long had he been away from the Nine Realms? It felt like an entirely new world had taken its place.

Just then, a couple walked past him hand in hand.

One held a piece of pastry in their mouth, playfully offering it to the other.

"Ugh, I’ve already achieved fasting!" the woman cooed, feigning shyness as she lightly swatted the man.

"Fasting or not, this pastry is filled with my love for you," the man mumbled around the treat, grinning as he leaned in again.

Blushing, the woman parted her lips to accept it.

Yi Feng tucked his hands into his sleeves, watching the pair pass by mere inches away. He swallowed hard, then rolled his eyes and turned his gaze elsewhere.

No sooner had he looked away than he spotted another couple—two white-haired elders—hobbling after each other with canes, flirting and teasing like youngsters.

Yi Feng quickly sidestepped to avoid them.

They looked like they might collapse any second.

Better not get tangled up in that...

His scalp prickled with secondhand embarrassment.

Everywhere he looked, couples were lost in their own worlds—whispering sweet nothings upstairs, embracing downstairs, bantering in the streets...

Yi Feng shuddered and quickened his pace to escape.

Had the Nine Realms turned into some kind of pleasure district?

But right now, he had no time to dwell on that. His priority was finding the legendary sage, the White Emperor.

Yet after asking around, he couldn’t uncover any leads on the White Emperor’s whereabouts.

Of course.

A revered sage like her surely had countless opportunists seeking her favor. She wouldn’t just reveal her location so easily.

Conventional methods wouldn’t cut it.

He needed something... unconventional.

Something a bit more... unscrupulous.

For instance, could he locate the White Emperor’s ancestral grave and dig it up?

Or, like how he’d kidnapped Piaomiao Hong, could he track down the White Emperor’s family and take them hostage?

That way, he wouldn’t even need to seek her out—she’d come charging straight to him.

Sure, it was a bit underhanded, but once he achieved immortality, he could always make it up to her later.

Yi Feng mentally patted himself on the back for his brilliance.

...

Speaking of Piaomiao Hong...

According to her fate’s calculation, her death was due in just three days.

With only three days left to live, waiting for death in this burial ground of swords would fill any normal person with endless dread.

But Piaomiao Hong had watched countless clansmen walk this path since childhood. She had long since made peace with it.

Though she still felt reluctance and longing, this was simply the fate of the Piao family.

Since she couldn’t resist, she might as well face it with calm acceptance.

Time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, the day of her predestined demise arrived.

Piaomiao Hong glanced around at the skeletal remains of her ancestors.

Her time had finally come.

Yet while fate decreed she would die on this day due to the curse, the exact hour remained unknown.

It could strike at any moment.

When the curse’s power erupted, she would become just another set of bones in this sword-filled grave.

Two hours passed.

Piaomiao Hong continued to wait.

Another two hours slipped by.

Still, the curse did not manifest.

Hour after hour, she waited.

Until at last...

The final hour of the day arrived.

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

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.
