This was Li Shiyin's first time coming to collect the monthly allowance, but it was the Dao Sword Sect's second time distributing the monthly allowance to this batch of disciples.
Why?
Because there was already a monthly allowance last month, but Qin Ran didn't know and thought there was no monthly allowance for new disciples, so he didn't bring Li Shiyin to collect it.
"Stinky Master, you're always scolding me for being stupid, but you're clearly the stupid one!" Li Shiyin scolded Qin Ran in her heart, but didn't show it on her face, still appearing aloof. "Losing a whole month of allowance, that's a lot of spirit stones gone to waste! Hmph! Damn it..."
She walked into the Butler Hall, peeking inside at the entrance. It wasn't very big inside, just over a hundred square meters. Directly opposite the entrance were three windows, where inner sect disciples could collect their monthly allowance.
There were three windows - one for ordinary disciples, one for inner sect disciples, and one for personal disciples.
A green-clothed woman was at the inner sect disciple window collecting her allowance. She turned around to leave and her alluring beauty made Li Shiyin look twice. She then realized this woman looked very familiar - it was Tian Wenjin.
Tian Wenjin collected her allowance and turned to leave, but felt someone staring at her.
What kind of rogue would stare at someone so rudely?
She was very unhappy and looked back at the entrance...
"Hmm?" She frowned, this person looked a little familiar.
"Fellow disciple Tian," Li Shiyin smiled and nodded at Tian Wenjin.
Then she shouted in her heart: "I'm done for! After spending so much time with Master I've become sly and deceitful too. Oh Li Shiyin, how could you become like this?"
Because what she really wanted was to fight Tian Wenjin and see who was stronger, but what she showed on the outside was a smile and greeting.
Only then did Tian Wenjin remember, this was Li Shiyin!
The white-clothed beauty before her holding a sword was Li Shiyin!!
She was that dirty girl covered in mud at the bottom of the pit on Dan Peak that day, Li Shiyin!!!
What had happened these past days?
Tian Wenjin was a little confused, finding it hard to accept.
Not until Li Shiyin saw she wasn't replying and walked past did she absentmindedly return the greeting: "Hello..."
Li Shiyin stood in front of the personal disciple allowance window and looked back at Tian Wenjin's complex expression. Her thin lips curled into a meaningful smile, but she didn't say anything more.
She handed in her identity token and said, "Li Shiyin of Dan Peak."
"Dan Peak?" The pretty female servant disciple inside the window asked doubtfully, "Your first time collecting the monthly allowance after just becoming a Dao Sword Sect disciple?"
She had never seen anyone from Dan Peak collect an allowance before.
"Yes," Li Shiyin nodded.
The female disciple then handed her a square object with a groove and said, "Drip a drop of blood into the groove to confirm your identity."
Li Shiyin pricked her finger, circulated her spiritual power, and squeezed out a drop of blood...
Tian Wenjin stood at the entrance to the Butler Hall, looking back to see Li Shiyin standing at the personal disciple allowance window. Her mood was complex - she was just an inner sect disciple yet the other was a personal disciple.
She tried sensing Li Shiyin's cultivation level again, wanting to know how it compared to her own. But she vaguely felt Li Shiyin's energy was more refined.
"Perhaps I'm mistaken," she thought to herself. She couldn't accept the possibility that Li Shiyin's cultivation level might be higher than her own.
Li Shiyin collected her allowance and counted the spirit stones - a full five hundred. She was reminded that she hadn't collected last month's allowance.
"Damn you Master!" She cursed again in her heart.
She put the spirit stones into her cosmos pouch then glanced at the pills. She casually took out a Gathering Spirit Pellet to smell it - the medicinal fragrance didn't seem very pure. She threw one into her mouth and the medicinal power spread with her spiritual power... She shook her head, the effect was also lacking.
Could this be Master's doing? She wondered, but still kept the pills. At some point Tian Wenjin had left without her noticing. Li Shiyin didn't care and strode straight out of the Butler Hall.
Li Shiyin came out of the Butler Hall to see everyone outside looking towards the distant sky.
"What's happening?" She was rather curious and also looked over.
A beautiful young woman was riding a cloud over. Li Shiyin also recognized her - she seemed to be called Liu Piaoxu. They entered the sect together. The young woman was very pretty, her looks comparable to Tian Wenjin's. But her natural endowment and talent were only ordinary so Li Shiyin didn't pay her much attention, only having some impression of her.
Liu Piaoxu landed unsteadily in front of the Butler Hall. Li Shiyin went up to support her and Liu Piaoxu gently thanked her.
She was a gentle woman who could steal men's hearts. Her beauty matched Tian Wenjin's - they were both of the bewitching type. But while Tian Wenjin was unattainably noble, Liu Piaoxu was approachable. That meant she was a bewitching beauty that made men feel they had a chance, thus moving men's hearts even more than Tian Wenjin.
Men looking at her felt an itch in their hearts that made them want to protect and cherish her.
"Nothing," Li Shiyin nodded at her then moved aside for Liu Piaoxu to enter the Butler Hall.
After watching Liu Piaoxu go in, Li Shiyin called out her Cherished Star Sword, lightly leapt onto it, and flew away from the Butler Hall.
"That's Liu Piaoxu?" The fan-wielding man's companion said excitedly, "I'm telling you, I've decided on this woman. Don't compete with me!"
The fan-wielding man shook his fan and laughed. "You're thinking too much. What does it have to do with you?"
"Didn't you see? She just smiled at me. That gentle and delicate manner means she wants my protection!" This young man had clearly lost control of his mind and composure. "It's obvious I'm her destined true love who will protect her, cherish her, and hold her in my palms."
"Don't spout nonsense here!" The fan-wielding man hit him with his fan to wake him up.
"Aren't there five great peerless beauties?" The young man came to his senses and licked his lips, still not satisfied. He had seen three of the five great beauties, what about the other two?
He asked, "Where are the twins from Master Peak?"
Just the appearance of these three peerless beauties individually already had this effect. If identical twins appeared together, wouldn't that blow people's minds?
"There they come, right on cue..." The fan-wielding man pointed to the sky to get his companion to look. The twins had arrived.
The young man excitedly looked over, only to see a cloud vessel slowly approaching from the distance. Two exquisite jade sisters could be seen on the cloud vessel.
But...
When the cloud vessel drew near and the men below could clearly see the beauties on it, they were greatly disappointed. Neat sighs could be heard coming from the crowd.
They really were girls, and they really were pretty. The only problem was they looked eight or nine years old!
The twins from Master Peak were little girls!!!
"How is this..." The young man was confused. "Are they peerless beauties too?"
"You can call them seeds of future peerless beauties!" The fan-wielding man guffawed. "When they grow up won't they become peerless beauties? Let me tell you, this is your chance - you need to make your move early..."
The young man looked thoughtful: "You have a point."
The fan-wielding man laughed and scolded: "You beast!!!"
"Sister, what are they sighing about?" The cute Jiang Ran asked on the cloud vessel.
"Firstly, I'm the older sister!" The adorable Jiang Qin said in a mature tone. "Secondly, those are vulgar people not worth paying attention to or wondering what they are sighing about."
] 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.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
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!
+【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!
