"If there's a chance... this junior will visit Qingqiu for you, Elder."
Su Jiu spoke these words cautiously.
She had no idea what Qingqiu looked like now.
"A chance?"
The red-haired little girl reacted like a dragon whose tail had been stepped on—her scales practically bristling.
Her golden draconic pupils locked onto Su Jiu.
"What, have Jiu Yue’s descendants grown so overbearing? Even for one of their own to return, they need to wait for ‘a chance’?"
"Is Qingqiu some kind of dragon’s den or tiger’s lair now? Do people need to kowtow three times and bathe in incense just to set foot past its gates?"
Su Jiu’s face twisted into a bitter smile.
"Elder, you misunderstand."
"It’s not that Jiu Yue’s descendants are overbearing..."
She paused, her voice laced with an indescribable sorrow.
"It’s just that... in Great Xia today, Qingqiu no longer exists."
The red-haired girl’s aura erupted violently, shaking the entire chained space to the brink of collapse.
Her expression froze in shock and confusion.
"Qingqiu... is gone?"
She murmured the words, as if asking Su Jiu—or perhaps herself.
Su Jiu bit her lower lip and nodded with difficulty.
"From what I know..."
"A hundred thousand years ago, this world endured an unprecedented calamity. Countless ancient sects and races perished in that disaster... including Qingqiu."
"The entire Qingqiu Holy Land, along with every last member of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan, was reduced to scorched earth overnight. None survived."
"And the Great Xia of today... was carved from the ruins by an elder who burned themselves out, using supreme means to sever a fragment of the world and preserve it as a minor realm..."
"Over the years, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Foxes have long since lost their ancient glory. Even their complete heritage has been mostly lost..."
"Everything I know—perhaps not even the full truth—comes from a few fragmented clan records."
Su Jiu’s voice was soft.
This was a wound the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Foxes had buried for a hundred thousand years. Had circumstances not forced her hand, she would never have revealed it to an outsider.
The red-haired girl stood frozen, her golden pupils unfocused.
She seemed not to hear a single word Su Jiu said after that one phrase.
None survived.
"Hah... No wonder the heavenly tribulation earlier felt off—shattering at a touch..."
After a long silence, she let out a dry, hollow laugh.
"Dead... all of them?"
Her laughter carried an unmistakable desolation.
"Then... is he dead too?"
Su Jiu couldn’t answer that.
She didn’t even know who "Feng" was.
Seeing the girl’s devastated expression, Su Jiu felt an unexpected pang of pity.
After a moment’s hesitation, she spoke again. "Elder... my condolences."
"Condolences?"
The red-haired girl whipped her head around, golden eyes blazing—but this time, not with anger. With resolve.
"This Sovereign doesn’t need condolences!"
"If he’s alive, I’ll see him. If he’s dead, I’ll see his corpse!"
"I refuse to believe he’s gone!"
"How many times has he cheated death in his life? Hundreds? Thousands?"
"He’d outlive anyone."
"This is just another excuse not to see me."
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the storm of emotions, and turned her gaze back to Su Jiu.
"You. What’s your name?"
"This junior is Su Jiu."
"Su Jiu..." The red-haired girl nodded. "This Sovereign remembers you."
"I’m leaving this place."
"You’re coming with me."
The moment the words left her mouth, a figure materialized in the space without warning.
Clad in green robes, her hair loose, her beauty ethereal—yet her demeanor was ice-cold, pushing all warmth away.
This time, she wasn’t a hazy illusion. Her form was solid.
It was the green-robed woman who had forced Su Ji to choose his destiny earlier.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
The red-haired girl started at her sudden appearance, then immediately recognized the familiar aura.
Her brow arched, golden eyes brimming with hostility.
"Hm?"
"You’re that vixen’s descendant?"
The green-robed woman didn’t answer.
She simply stared at the red-haired girl, cleared her throat—
And then, a completely different voice emerged from her lips.
Warm. Steady.
Laced with helpless fondness.
A man’s voice.
"You’re still like this. I told you not to call her that."
For a heartbeat, the entire Dragon Binding Abyss fell silent.
The chaotic energy that could shatter space itself froze solid.
Time itself seemed to stop.
The red-haired girl’s expression cycled through fury, shock, disbelief—before finally going blank.
Her golden pupils locked onto the green-robed woman’s face, lips trembling soundlessly.
Su Jiu was utterly lost.
What fresh chaos was this?
She looked back and forth between them, her mind in turmoil.
---
Meanwhile.
Deep in the underground lava cavern.
Su Ji crouched on the ground, looking thoroughly defeated.
In one hand, he held the broken tip of his sword. In the other, the shattered blade.
He fiddled with them, trying to fit them together.
He pressed them firmly—
And the tip immediately fell off again.
"This isn’t working..."
Su Ji’s face twisted in misery.
The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached. He felt like his Dao Foundation might crack.
"Maybe if I heat it? Weld it back?"
Carefully, he dipped his sword into the nearby lava sea.
This time, he was cautious.
If the sword melted, he’d be ruined.
The lava neared the broken edge.
A sharp hiss.
The process dragged on.
The sword glowed red-hot, on the verge of liquefying.
Su Ji yanked it back in panic, blowing on the broken tip several times.
With a click, he stuck the tip back on.
Miraculously.
It held.
Whether it would work in battle, he didn’t know.
But it was attached.
That alone eased his worries.
His luck seemed to be turning.
Delighted, Su Ji immediately tested it—

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
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!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
