In the imperial palace of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, within the chambers of the White Fox Queen...
"Hehe, Your Majesty, come catch me~" A bewitching, coquettish laugh echoed through the room.
The source was a woman with snow-white skin and a fox-like, alluring face. She wore a sheer, translucent gown that barely concealed her figure, her delicate jade-like feet bare as she flitted playfully between the palace pillars like a butterfly. Behind her swayed a pristine, fluffy fox tail, matching the rhythm of her movements.
"Tsk tsk, my beauty, don’t run. Let this Emperor pamper you properly," replied a towering man clad in imperial robes, his face faintly scaled with greenish patterns.
Blindfolded, the man stumbled forward, chasing the source of the laughter.
"Got you!"
He lunged toward the sound—only to smash headfirst into a pillar.
The fox-like giggles sounded again, this time from behind him.
"Your Majesty, I’m over here~ If you catch me tonight, I’ll let you do... anything you want~"
The two figures lost in their game were none other than the ruler of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom—the Azure Demon Emperor—and his beloved White Fox Queen.
Just as their amusement reached its peak, a guard’s voice interrupted from outside the chamber.
"Your Majesty, a human at the Divine Realm is forcing his way into the palace!"
The Azure Demon Emperor’s mood instantly darkened—not because a human dared intrude, but because the guard had the audacity to disturb his pleasure.
"Worthless fool! Did I not order no interruptions?! A mere Divine Realm human? How many newly ascended fools have come here seeking death, ignorant of this realm’s depths? Just capture him! How dare you bother me with such trivial matters!"
The guard outside didn’t dare enter, merely kowtowing loudly at the door.
"Your Majesty, this one seems different from ordinary Divine Realm experts. His strength is extraordinary—likely at the peak of Divine Realm! Even the Monkey General was no match for him!"
"Useless! All of you, utterly useless!"
The Azure Demon Emperor angrily reached for his blindfold—but a sudden wave of fragrant warmth brushed against him.
"Your Majesty, if you cheat... I won’t accompany you tonight~"
A whisper, sweet as orchids and musk, grazed his ear, instantly transforming his fury into a different kind of fire.
"My beauty, I won’t remove it. I swear," the Emperor chuckled, placating her before roaring at the door again.
"Idiot! If the Monkey General failed, send General Jin! With thousands of Divine Realm experts in this kingdom, just dispatch a few! Now scram, and don’t ruin my mood!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Once the guard fled, the Emperor resumed his game.
"Hehe, my beauty, I’ve caught you!"
Having drawn close earlier, the White Fox Queen’s slender wrist was now in his grasp.
"Naughty~ That doesn’t count!"
With a playful laugh, she slipped her silken-smooth hand free—like melting chocolate—and darted away again.
"My beauty, don’t run!"
Just as the Emperor gave chase—
BOOM!
A thunderous voice split the night sky, startling both the Emperor and Queen.
"Azure Demon Emperor, I hear your White Fox Queen is the most exquisite beauty of the fox tribe. Why not share her with me? Let this venerable one... borrow her for a while?"
The Emperor froze—then erupted in rage, tearing off his blindfold.
"You dare! What rat dares speak such insolence?!"
He threw on his robes, ready to charge out—but the White Fox Queen stopped him.
"Your Majesty, what about me~?"
"Wait for me, my beauty. I’ll return shortly."
"But Your Majesty~ I’m... restless. Besides, didn’t you already send men? With General Jin handling it, the intruder might be dead before you even reach the gates~"
The Emperor paused, considering her words.
"...Shall we continue, then?"
The White Fox Queen smirked, replacing his blindfold.
The game resumed.
......
Outside the palace...
Gu Qingfeng surveyed the piles of demon corpses around him, bored.
Just as he prepared to hurl more insults—
An overwhelming, sky-shattering pressure erupted from within the palace.
"Kekeke... Finally! The real fun begins!" Gu Qingfeng’s excitement surged.
Moments later, streaks of light shot toward him.
Leading them was a man wreathed in golden radiance, his face marked with strange sigils. Behind him followed several Divine Realm peak-level demons.
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes gleamed as he studied them.
That golden one... must be a servant of the Sacred Clan.
From the Dark Realm, he’d learned that not just any demon could earn the Sacred Clan’s favor and inherit their higher-realm techniques.
Only the most exceptional—like Young Master Yin once was.
Though General Jin was also at Divine Realm peak, his aura was vastly denser than the others.
Landing before Gu Qingfeng, General Jin coldly commanded his subordinates:
"Capture him alive."
"Yes, General!"
The Divine Realm demons attacked instantly—much to Gu Qingfeng’s delight. He loved demons who didn’t waste time.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Deafening explosions rocked the area as Gu Qingfeng vanished into a torrent of demonic energy.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
System notifications blared in his mind.
His cultivation skyrocketed like a blazing arrow—in mere moments, his long-stagnant Tough Qi Realm peak broke through to the next realm!
The boiling qi in his body underwent a qualitative transformation, evolving into the unique Xiantian Qi of the higher realm.
"Hahaha!" Gu Qingfeng roared in exhilaration.
With a burst of power, the demonic energy storm shattered, revealing him—completely unharmed.
"What?!"
"How?!"
The demons paled. They were peak Divine Realm experts! Even without Sacred Clan guidance, their combined strike should’ve annihilated anything!
General Jin’s eyes narrowed—then curled into a vicious smirk.
"Interesting. You’re worth my time."
"Step back. You’re outmatched."
"Yes, General!"
Tap. Tap. Tap.
General Jin strode forward leisurely.
"Few humans reach your level. You’ve earned the right to name yourself."
"My surname is Ba. Given name, Ba."
"Ba... Ba?"
General Jin frowned at the odd name.
"Yes, my good son."
The general’s body stiffened. His cold arrogance twisted into fury.
"You dare mock me, you lowly ant?! DIE!"
With a roar, he slashed his hand through the air—unleashing a crescent wave of golden light, sharp enough to split the heavens!
Gu Qingfeng neither dodged nor evaded, completely disregarding his opponent's attack. Instead, he sighed and remarked, "Tsk, should’ve just done this from the start. Did you really have to put on such a show in front of this venerable one?"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
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!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
