Lin Bin glanced at his elderly mother tied to the bed and let out a heavy sigh.
They had been to the hospital and consulted various people, but his mother's condition remained poor. She kept rambling nonsense and even tried to harm herself when no one was watching.
He was at his wit's end.
Lin Bin looked at the slip of paper in his hand—it was an address a friend had given him for some sort of "Heavenly Master," claiming the young man was very capable. But now, he didn't dare leave.
Just as he was agonizing, a timid voice came from the doorway: "Excuse me, is this the Lin family's home?"
He looked up and saw a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Lin Bin assumed she was his son's classmate and forced a smile: "Yes, are you looking for my son? He's been staying at his aunt's place lately..."
Liu Xiaohua shook her head: "No, I'm looking for you." She stepped inside, glancing nervously at the old woman struggling on the bed.
"You're looking for me?"
Liu Xiaohua swallowed hard: "Yes, I am. I... I can cure your mother's illness..."
Lin Bin's smile vanished, replaced by impatience: "Get out of here. Aren't you a little young to be pulling this scam? Trying to trick people before you've even learned to behave?"
His harsh reaction wasn't unreasonable—he'd already been cheated twice before.
As he pushed her away, Liu Xiaohua gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "I... I see a woman behind your mother! A woman with disheveled hair! She's biting your mother's neck!"
Lin Bin froze, turned suspiciously to look at his mother, then back at Liu Xiaohua: "What nonsense are you talking about! Which village are you from? Do you want me to find your parents?!"
Liu Xiaohua shouted again: "That woman has a dark birthmark on her face! Shaped like a crescent moon!"
At those words, Lin Bin froze completely. A dark birthmark? A crescent moon? Cold sweat immediately dripped from his forehead. He grabbed Liu Xiaohua: "Tell me, who are you! How do you know that?"
Liu Xiaohua was terrified, but she remembered what Fang Zhiyi had taught her to say:
"I saw it! I really saw it! I have yin-yang eyes! If you don't believe me, go ask around in my village—everyone knows!"
Lin Bin stared at the girl. Though her face was flushed, she didn't seem to be lying. He loosened his grip.
"She... she still blames my mother... but it was her own fault..." He turned to look at his mother again, and the old woman lifted her neck with a wild look in her eyes, as if possessed.
"Can you really help me?" Lin Bin asked, throwing caution to the wind.
Liu Xiaohua glanced at the old woman and nodded resolutely: "But we have to wait until nightfall..."
"Nightfall?"
When night came, the tied-up old woman struggled more violently, even gaining unusual strength, and spewed garbled curses from her mouth.
Lin Bin watched Liu Xiaohua nervously. He didn't know if this girl could do anything, but the fact that she'd known about his ex-wife's facial birthmark meant she had to know something...
Yet Liu Xiaohua just stood there, doing nothing. Of course, she couldn't catch ghosts.
Lin Bin thought about his ex-wife—a woman who terrified him: fiery, violent, unreasonable. She'd once chased him with a knife, abused his mother, and even beaten his son until he coughed up blood.
Later, unable to endure the humiliation, his mother called in the family elders, who pressured them to divorce. That shrew, instead, grabbed a knife to attack them, but accidentally slipped and stabbed herself in the belly. By the time the ambulance arrived, she was already gone.
She'd clearly killed herself!
Lin Bin stared at the motionless girl, his heart pounding. On the bed, his mother struggled even harder—so hard that she broke free of the ropes tied around her wrists!
"Watch out!" Lin Bin lunged to shield the girl, but Liu Xiaohua said, "Don't move."
From Liu Xiaohua's perspective, things were far more complicated.
Three ghosts—including Liu Sandao—were struggling to pull down the woman biting the old woman's neck. Liu Sandao cursed profanely as the enraged woman fought back. Just as she opened her mouth to bite them, they managed to drag her off the old woman.
What followed was a chaotic brawl. The woman was ferociously fierce. If Fang Zhiyi hadn't told Liu Xiaohua to bring extra ghosts today, things might have gone wrong.
Lin Bin watched his mother suddenly calm down. After a moment, she weakly opened her eyes and said to him, "My son... I... I dreamed of that vicious daughter-in-law of yours..."
Liu Xiaohua's first mission was a triumph. Lin Bin not only thanked her with a generous reward but also vowed to spread the word about her abilities.
Holding the money, Liu Xiaohua felt dazed. She hadn't expected to earn money by doing nothing. But once she calmed down, she immediately used it to buy paper money and incense sticks.
"Pretty impressive, huh?" At that moment, Fang Zhiyi sat with his legs crossed, eyeing the female ghost still spewing curses.
Liu Sandao complained bitterly: "You have no idea how tough she was. She nearly shattered these old bones of mine."
"Let me go! Aren't you both ghosts too? Don't you feel any resentment?" The female ghost's head thrashed constantly, her malice surging sky-high.
Fang Zhiyi frowned. At this rate, she might attract real Heavenly Masters. Without hesitation, he slapped her to sober her up, then quickly began his work in front of the other ghosts.
Even Liu Sandao and the other ghosts shrank back in fear.
They always knew Fang Zhiyi was powerful, but they never realized he could be so ruthless!
When Liu Xiaohua came to burn paper money, she saw the female ghost neatly placed on top of a tombstone, her hands and feet gone, and her mouth sewn shut.
Liu Xiaohua shivered at those venomous eyes, then hurriedly began burning offerings.
Fang Zhiyi had finally collected his first investment returns.
The next day proceeded smoothly. It happened to be the day for ghostly underworld agents to escort souls. Ah Da and Ah Er blinked in surprise when Fang Zhiyi shoved the evil spirit at them.
"Take it. Say you captured it while suppressing wrongdoing—that should count as credit," Fang Zhiyi said, then turned to hand them a pile of underworld currency. "Save some for your own use."
The ghost agents' eyes lit up at the sight of money.
"Thanks, brother!"
"Good buddy! Loyalty!"
Fang Zhiyi grinned at their delighted faces, then smiled slyly: "Actually, there's one more thing..."
"Name it, brother!"
"Last time you said your bosses are the Soul Arresters, and above them the Judges—who is above the Judges?"
Ah Da thought for a moment: "The Underworld Inspectors, and above them is the Sovereign of Youdu. Bro, don't do anything stupid. We may have lost to you, but you can't mess with those big shots."
Ah Er nodded vigorously.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"

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.
