In the past it was always Li Shiyin who lost in fights and had to get Li Shiwen to come and help her; now it had become that Li Shiwen was being bullied and Li Shiyin was taking him out to find trouble.
This feeling was very strange, especially for Li Shiwen. He looked at Li Shiyin in front of him, hands on hips and acting cocky, and he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he knew Li Shiyin had become powerful, a younger sister who needed protection starting to protect him instead, this feeling really...
Li Shiwen had complicated feelings. Suddenly the wine he had snatched from Tianxiang Tower didn't smell as nice anymore.
"Brother! Look..." As he was feeling complicated, Li Shiyin in front turned around, put one hand on his shoulder, and pointed at the four debauched young masters crawling naked on the ground over there, saying, "If you continue to degenerate like this, I'll strip you too and make you crawl home!"
What bold words from a female sword immortal!
Li Shiwen suddenly felt cold. He hurriedly hugged himself and said, "Alright, we've taken care of things here, let's go back!"
He felt like Li Shiyin wasn't joking, she really would do it.
"Sigh, so this is the kind of place you used to like coming to?" Li Shiyin looked back at Tianxiang Tower and shook her head with a sigh.
"What's wrong with it?" Li Shiwen asked. Actually he still liked coming here...he just happened to not get caught by Li Shiyin this time.
"Just look at those women, each and every one of them is vulgar and tacky. I thought they were so beautiful that they captivated you to distraction." Li Shiyin clicked her tongue disapprovingly, "You have terrible taste!"
Li Shiwen looked at Li Shiyin. This silly girl did have the qualification to say this. He replied, "Actually I don't like places like this much. It's just that men need some socializing. This is just a temporary indulgence, whether they're beautiful or not doesn't matter much..."
"Just excuses to eat, drink and be merry." Li Shiyin scoffed.
The two chatted as they walked home.
As the new year approached, even though the streets were cold, there were still many people coming and going, and more peddlers selling goods than usual.
As the siblings walked along, they would occasionally stop to buy things that interested them. By the time they got home, each was carrying a lot.
Before Li Shiyin could even get through the door, the guard stopped her, saying, "Young miss, the general wants you to go to the council hall."
"Father wants me to go to the council hall?" Li Shiyin was puzzled. That place was usually for calling Li Shiwen.
"Yes, the general specified you."
Li Shiyin had no choice but to hang all her things on Li Shiwen and hurried to the council hall herself.
Arriving at the council hall, Li Shiyin found only two people inside - her father Li Zhan and another elderly man in black robes, seated according to status. She also recognized the man in black - he was a guest elder of their Li family, whom she usually called Grandpa Mo.
"Father, Grandpa Mo!" Li Shiyin greeted the two politely from the doorway, before asking, "Father, what did you call me to the council hall for?"
"Come here." Li Zhan said.
Li Shiyin walked over to the table beside Li Zhan, only then noticing the several porcelain bottles placed on the table.
She was familiar with these porcelain bottles - they contained the pills her master had refined, things like "Health Pills", "Life Extending Pills", "Great Return Pills" and the like. She had casually given them to Li Zhan and Yang Yanqi yesterday to cheer them up.
...She had given them some of anything she thought might be good for her parents.
"Aren't these the pills I gave you?" Li Shiyin picked up a bottle and casually twisted it open to look inside.
"Don't!" Seeing her casually open the bottle, Grandpa Mo became extremely nervous. He reached out to snatch back the bottle and hurriedly closed it, saying, "Don't let the medicine efficacy leak out."
"Grandpa Mo, you're too uptight. How could the efficacy possibly leak out so easily." Li Shiyin laughed.
"Where did you get these pills?" Li Zhan asked in a deep voice at this time.
"My master gave them to me, didn't I already tell you yesterday!" Li Shiyin was puzzled.
Grandpa Mo murmured to himself, tapping a finger on the table, then asked, "I heard you became a disciple of the Dao Sword Sect?"
"Yes."
"Who is your master?"
"Qin Ran."
"Never heard of him." Grandpa Mo was suspicious.
"My master keeps a low profile, it's normal you haven't heard of him!" Li Shiyin giggled, covering for Qin Ran's lack of fame, "But my master is very powerful, with high status. He's the First Seat of Dan Peak!"
"First Seat of Dan Peak?" Grandpa Mo's brows furrowed even more. "Does the Dao Sword Sect have a Dan Peak?"
"It does. The Dao Sword Sect has four major peak branches - Main Peak, Sword Peak, Qi Peak, and Dan Peak." Li Shiyin said, "My master and I are from Dan Peak!"
"Though there are fewer people in Dan Peak, just a tiny bit fewer."
"I didn't know the Dao Sword Sect also had a hidden peak branch... No wonder it's one of the Five Great Sects of North Chu." Grandpa Mo marveled.
"Uh...hehe!" Li Shiyin felt awkward. "Actually Dan Peak isn't a hidden peak branch..."
She lowered her voice, "It just declined, that's all."
Grandpa Mo mulled this over, then suddenly reacted - "You said your master is First Seat, then doesn't that make you a direct disciple?!"
"Yup!" Li Shiyin smiled. "I get five hundred Spirit Stones a month!"
"Five hundred Spirit Stones!!!" Grandpa Mo's expression sharpened, hearing that spirit stones could be casually given out like this. He had to ask, "Then doesn't that mean you have a lot of spirit stones?"
"Mhm!" Li Shiyin nodded. "I also got five thousand spirit stones from doing a mission last month! Though I didn't get the first month's allowance because my stupid master didn't even know, so I didn't get it!!"
Just listening to this, Grandpa Mo felt like he was suffocating. He hadn't seen that many spirit stones in his whole life!
Seeing Grandpa Mo was too shocked to speak, Li Zhan hurriedly steered the conversation back on track, asking Li Shiyin, "Were these pills refined by your master, or did he buy them from somewhere?"
"Of course he refined them himself!"
"Is he an alchemist?"
"Yup!" Li Shiyin nodded.
"What about you?" Li Zhan also grew excited. "Are you also an alchemist?"
"I'm not..." Li Shiyin shook her head. "Master wanted me to cultivate the sword."
"A sword cultivator?" Li Zhan calmed down. "That's not bad either."
"It's not just 'not bad', I'm very powerful!" Li Shiyin bragged.
"Mm, you're very powerful." Li Zhan humored her. How powerful could she be after just half a year of cultivation. He asked Li Shiyin again, "What rank alchemist is your master?"
"Huh?" Li Shiyin was startled. "Alchemists have ranks?"
"They're ranked." At this time Grandpa Mo had recovered. But the way he looked at Li Shiyin was still scorching hot. "Like me, I'm a second rank alchemist, able to refine second rank pills.
"As for the respected Senior Qin who refined these pills, although I don't know his rank, just based on these pills alone, I can infer that he is at least a fifth rank alchemist.
"These are all top quality pills; the refining technique and pill structures are unheard of and unseen by me. The structure Senior used provides huge improvements to the pills, greatly increasing the success rate and efficacy! Only an alchemist with ghost axe skills, able to turn decay into magical pills, could have this ability.
"Ah?" Li Shiyin was stunned. Was her master really that amazing?
She didn't know that because of selling pills, Qin Ran had attracted the notice of an extremely frightening organization.
She smiled awkwardly at Grandpa Mo, "Don't call him Old Man, it sounds so strange!"
"Although I look quite old, I'm actually only 150 years old." Grandpa Mo shook his head and sighed. "But this Senior Qin must be a Golden Core cultivator, perhaps even a Nascent Soul master who has lived for thousands of years!"
"Ahaha..." Li Shiyin laughed awkwardly twice, and whispered, "Master is only in his twenties."
The two mundane mortals were too excited to notice Li Shiyin's words. They stared fixedly at the pills on the table, eyes hot with desire.
So many high quality pills, miraculous immortality pills that could extend life, simply laid out before them like this. Even having confirmed their origins, they still couldn't believe it was real.
"These pills..." Li Zhan looked at Li Shiyin.
Li Shiyin told the truth: "When Master heard I was going to return down the mountain, he refined some health preserving pills as gifts for you."
"An immortal personally refined pills for me?" Li Zhan had completely lost control of himself.
Li Shiyin looked at her own old dad, and her equally stirred heart suddenly calmed down slowly. At this moment, she truly understood what her master said, the huge gulf between ordinary people and cultivators.
When people like her father saw the elixirs casually refined by the master, they would all react in this way...
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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!

+【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!!!
