The girl with the long hair ultimately couldn't withstand the incessant badgering and the misunderstandings manufactured by her toxic best friend. She broke up with her boyfriend. Ironically, the best friend immediately turned around and found a boyfriend herself. The man was wealthy and won her heart completely, but once the honeymoon phase passed, his true nature was exposed; he had obvious violent tendencies and was unfaithful.
Yet, she continued to play the role of the sacrificial accomplice, constantly seeking out the long-haired girl to complain about how terrible her boyfriend was. Whether it was a weekday or a holiday, day or night, whenever she felt upset, she would call or text her friend. The long-haired girl offered advice countless times.
It was ironic that the advice the girl gave consisted of the very same principles that "Little Beauty"—Sun Xiaomei—had previously preached to her. However, when applied to Xiaomei herself, they were completely ineffective. One moment she would claim her boyfriend treated her poorly, and the next she would say he still had her in his heart. This constant, unpredictable dumping of negative energy left the long-haired girl, Xuanxuan, in a daze, causing her to make frequent mistakes at work.
The truly terrifying part was that she never imagined a single piece of advice—suggesting that her best friend break up—would invite her own murder.
After one particular argument, Xiaomei ran away. The man couldn't find Xiaomei, so he turned around and went looking for Xuanxuan instead. Screaming that she was the one sowing discord day in and day out, he pulled out a sharp knife.
The man went to prison, Xuanxuan was dead, and Xiaomei continued her search for the next Prince Charming and the next "best friend."
Little Hei also successfully paid the price for its curiosity. "What is this garbage? There's actually another one?" The negative energy pouring out from the plot made it feel dizzy and disoriented.
Seeing it like this, Fang Zhiyi was amused. "I'm telling you, people like that radiate negative energy every day. If you get too close, it's contagious. If you dare to intervene, you have to shoulder their karma. The trouble that was originally theirs gets transferred to you." He took a sip of his milk tea. "It's a good thing you aren't human, otherwise you'd be in for some real trouble."
Little Hei shook its head. "I don't get it. I really don't get it. How does she manage such mental gymnastics? On one hand, she says her boyfriend treats her badly, and on the other, she says he treats her pretty well."
"It's a classic case of the cerebellum being underdeveloped and the cerebrum never developing at all," Fang Zhiyi added. "Do you believe me when I say that before long, she'll reconcile with her boyfriend, and then turn around and tell him that her best friend was the one trying to break them up?"
Little Hei remained silent. It just wanted to stay far away from that woman now.
Fang Zhiyi, however, revealed a smile as cunning as a fox.
"I wonder if I can withstand this karma."
Watching him stand up, Little Hei panicked. "You... have you thought this through? What if you go and never return..."
"Then I shall not return!" Fang Zhiyi declared.
Little Hei froze for two seconds. "You make picking up a girl sound like fighting the Great Sage Equaling Heaven." Thinking of that monkey, it looked left and right nervously.
"Hi, beauty. Are you single?"
Fang Zhiyi's sudden intrusion caused both girls to pause. They looked at Fang Zhiyi in surprise. Fang Zhiyi had confidence in the original host's physical appearance; especially with him in control, it was essentially top-tier.
Sure enough, the gentle appearance of the man before them, combined with a faint air of confidence, prevented the two girls from feeling any revulsion.
"My name is Sun Xiaomei. She is my best friend, Chen Xuan. But don't you get any ideas about her; she's already taken," Sun Xiaomei said.
Chen Xuan awkwardly raised her hand and greeted Fang Zhiyi.
Fang Zhiyi smiled at her, then turned his gaze to Sun Xiaomei. "The more I look at you, the more you resemble an old friend of mine. I wonder if I might have the honor of buying you a meal?"
Sun Xiaomei's mind raced. The stranger before her looked quite decent and gave off a very comfortable vibe, but she wasn't that kind of easy girl... Suddenly, she looked at her best friend beside her. The thought of Xuan constantly talking about her boyfriend made her feel a bit sick. What if this handsome stranger was even better than Xuan's boyfriend?
An inexplicable sense of competitiveness and jealousy began to stir within her.
"You're treating?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded with a smile. "Of course, it's my treat."
Chen Xuan, however, maintained her clarity of mind. She tugged at Sun Xiaomei. "Xiaomei, that's not very appropriate. We just met..."
Sun Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, but seeing Fang Zhiyi constantly glancing at Chen Xuan, her inner hesitation was immediately shoved aside by jealousy.
"Oh, come on, I know my limits! Besides, aren't you having dinner with your boyfriend tonight? I'll be all alone, and it just so happens someone is offering to buy me dinner."
"But..."
Fang Zhiyi couldn't help but assign a grade to Sun Xiaomei in his heart. Three sentences to achieve two effects; she was a habitual offender.
First, create a sense of guilt in the other party, then play the victim, and finally, toss her best friend aside with her words.
Classic behavior.
Fang Zhiyi didn't say anything further. After exchanging contact information with Sun Xiaomei and agreeing to meet that evening, he left the area.
Little girl, you need to thank me for saving your life. You really ought to kowtow to me.
That evening, Fang Zhiyi specifically booked a rather nice restaurant. Sun Xiaomei was pleasantly surprised; her luck was indeed good. Not only did this man have taste, but his conversation skills were excellent—everything he said was exactly what she wanted to hear!
Little Hei listened to Fang Zhiyi flirting with the woman in front of him and felt baffled. "Honestly, we've known each other for so long, but this is the first time I've seen you pick up a girl. Did you actually learn how to do this?"
"You know nothing. Does this require studying? Just flattering her is enough. Haven't you heard of the encyclopedia of cheesy pickup lines?"
Little Hei shook its head blankly.
Sun Xiaomei enjoyed the meal thoroughly, but Fang Zhiyi felt like he was going to die of exhaustion. Even though he racked his brains, he couldn't stop Sun Xiaomei from showcasing her specialty. First, she talked about how incompetent her colleagues were, then she complained about how the best friend Fang Zhiyi saw today was lacking in various ways, and by the end, she even started talking about how terrible her best friend's boyfriend was.
Having finally sent this plague of a woman away, Fang Zhiyi let out a long sigh of relief.
Little Hei leaned in. "I get it now. You're using magic to defeat magic?"
Fang Zhiyi smiled and nodded. "Sometimes, if you can borrow strength, you should. Doing it all by yourself is tiring. Besides... you shouldn't stay in contact with people like them for too long; it really affects your luck." As he spoke, he rolled his neck, the vertebrae cracking loudly. "See? I'm genuinely tired for no reason."
Lin Zhou, having recovered from his injuries, had come out to show off again. He originally wanted to find Fang Zhiyi, but thinking of Fang Zhiyi's miserable state, he was afraid the guy would try to borrow money from him. So, he decided to figure out some business venture on his own.
However, just as he was wandering around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Fang Zhiyi?" Lin Zhou sneered. But before the classic line "You have this day coming too" could leave his mouth, he saw a girl with a bright smile following beside Fang Zhiyi. The two seemed very familiar with each other.
"That kid actually found a girlfriend?" The expression on Lin Zhou's face struggled to hold together.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
