Night fell, and Bai Qianshuang sat on the edge of her bed after finishing her bath. Under her nightgown, her slender legs stretched lazily as she raised her arms in a satisfying stretch. With a contented sigh, she hugged a pillow and nestled into the bed, her eyes half-closed.
She didn’t really need to bathe.
But she did.
She didn’t really need to eat either.
But she did.
Bai Qianshuang suddenly felt a little guilty—lately, she had been indulging in whatever she pleased.
"I love this kind of life… but… I must take revenge…" Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she opened her eyes and slowly sat up straight.
She couldn’t stop now.
She had to grow stronger—stronger than anyone else.
"Everyone… I’ll make the Qingyun Sect pay in blood." Pushing aside distracting thoughts, Bai Qianshuang began circulating her cultivation technique, absorbing the spiritual energy in the room.
Yet, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
The Qingyun Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, was overwhelmingly powerful—especially its Flying Sword Peak, which was filled with countless prodigies.
Neither her master, the elders, nor even the ancestral founders had been a match for them.
If not for the sect’s emergency teleportation array activating at the critical moment, she would have perished there.
Just how strong did she need to be to exact her revenge? And she still had no idea how to return to her original world.
At this thought, Bai Qianshuang’s gaze grew unfocused, a sense of powerlessness spreading through her.
Abandoning her hatred wasn’t an option—it was both her motivation and her shackle.
Would she ever truly reach the pinnacle of the immortal path and avenge her sect?
Just then, a head suddenly popped out from the wall beside her, exclaiming excitedly,
"Qianshuang! Wanna play some games?!"
Bai Qianshuang suppressed her aura and turned to see Lan Xiaoke, a ghostly girl with silver hair and ample curves, floating halfway through the wall. She sighed.
"I need to cultivate. Xiaoke, since you’ve joined our Jade Void Sect, you should focus on training too."
"Cultivation has no end! But games? They’re only new for so long!" Lan Xiaoke slipped fully into the room and drifted right up to Bai Qianshuang.
"We’ve got such long lifespans—what’s the rush?"
Lan Xiaoke’s philosophy was simple: she had died too young in her teens, and most of her life had been spent studying. Now, she was determined to enjoy herself.
Especially since Ye Chuan was taking care of her—she was even willing to be his pet if it meant having a computer, money, and no real responsibilities.
Fly free!
Seeing Bai Qianshuang sitting motionless on the bed, Lan Xiaoke floated around her face, coaxing, "Come on~"
"Dripping water wears through stone. Even a single drop can carve rivers with time," Bai Qianshuang replied, averting her gaze from the "heavy textbooks" nearly pressing against her face.
"Spending a finite lifespan on infinite pursuits? If all you do is cultivate, you’ll turn into a block of wood," Lan Xiaoke wagged a finger.
Bai Qianshuang fell silent for a moment before suddenly pulling out her phone.
"Xiaoke, I want to try livestreaming. Can you help me? There’s a lot I don’t understand."
She wanted to earn money for Ye Chuan.
In this world, she still hadn’t fully grasped common customs, so this was the least she could do to repay his kindness.
She’d heard livestreaming could make money, and Ye Chuan had even said she could just sit there and cultivate during it.
"Oh! I’m great at this! I’ve been watching streams a lot lately." Lan Xiaoke took the phone, fiddling with it. Though she wasn’t an expert, a quick search would tell her how to set things up.
After a while, she finished registering an account—only to realize a problem.
"Uh, Qianshuang… you don’t have an ID in this world, do you?"
"No, I don’t," Bai Qianshuang admitted.
"Ahh, you need real-name verification for this…" Lan Xiaoke frowned. How could a "blacklisted" person like Bai Qianshuang get an identity?
Lan Xiaoke didn’t have an ID either—hers had been voided after death.
Not that it mattered for a ghost.
"It requires identification?" Bai Qianshuang’s expression dimmed.
She… truly didn’t belong in this world.
"Hey, don’t look so down! Ye Chuan will figure something out!" Seeing Bai Qianshuang’s usually perky hair droop, Lan Xiaoke hurried to reassure her.
Bai Qianshuang nodded quietly.
But her mood remained somber.
"Hey, Qianshuang! We’ve never taken a photo together, right? Wanna learn how to use beauty filters?" Lan Xiaoke tried changing the subject to cheer her up.
"Beauty filters?"
"Yeah! Skin smoothing, whitening, all that!"
Lan Xiaoke paused, then rubbed her chin.
Actually…
Bai Qianshuang might not need any of that.
Click, click, click! She snapped a few quick selfies with Bai Qianshuang.
"Xiaoke… you’re not in these," Bai Qianshuang observed, seeing only her own image.
But if she looked closely, a faint, translucent shadow—like mist—could barely be seen.
"Heh, well, I am dead," Lan Xiaoke chuckled, though a flicker of sorrow passed through her eyes.
Bai Qianshuang suddenly realized—they weren’t so different.
Both were outcasts in this world.
Only Ye Chuan had taken them in.
"Oh! Wait here!" Lan Xiaoke vanished into the wall.
Seconds later, the door opened, and she reappeared.
"…?" Bai Qianshuang blinked.
"Look! I changed outfits!" Lan Xiaoke twirled in her new JK skirt before floating back to Bai Qianshuang’s side for another photo.
Click.
The image froze.
This time, Bai Qianshuang noticed—Lan Xiaoke’s clothes were visible in the picture.
"The clothes… they’re real." Bai Qianshuang studied the photo. Though only the outfit appeared, the way the collar stretched and the skirt posed gave it an oddly suggestive vibe.
"Hehe~" Lan Xiaoke seemed pleased.
"Xiaoke, you don’t have to do this," Bai Qianshuang said softly. "I can make you visible."
"Visible?"
Bai Qianshuang nodded, then channeled her spiritual energy. "Manifest, wraith!"
A golden sigil struck Lan Xiaoke, and her body instantly solidified—but she convulsed as if electrocuted.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-YAaaAAHHH! I’m dying!!! DYINGGGG!!!"
Bai Qianshuang froze, realizing she’d overdone it.
"Sorry! This technique is usually for subduing evil spirits… I used too much power."
She’d never had a ghost ally before—she’d nearly sent Lan Xiaoke straight to the afterlife.
"Hah… hah… hah…" Lan Xiaoke panted, shaken.
That was way too close.
She’d almost been obliterated.
Note to self: be careful—Bai Qianshuang might accidentally delete her from existence one day.
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.
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.”
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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
