"Anyone who stands in the way of my wealth and glory must die," Fang Zhiyi cursed under his breath. His voice wasn't loud, but Tang Zhilin, whose martial arts were exceptional, heard him clearly. The look Tang Zhilin gave Fang Zhiyi was filled with shock.
Wasn't Fang Zhiyi going a bit too far?
Just as Fang Zhiyi had anticipated, after the operation was reported, the Governor-General was highly satisfied. As for the death of a Battalion Commander, he couldn't care less; manpower was endlessly replaceable. His only priority was rushing to report this success to the Emperor.
At the Wanli Pawnshop, Zhu Wanli sat with a gloomy face, holding a meeting with his key members.
"This Tang Zhilin is ruthless. I reckon our days won't be easy from now on," someone said.
"Didn't you say that Fang Zhiyi could be used?"
Zhu Qingqing looked awful. She still remembered how Fang Zhiyi had stood by with a completely indifferent attitude when they were being hunted by the government troops.
"We misjudged him. Fang Zhiyi might have sold us out a long time ago..."
"That traitor!"
"Running dog!"
"I knew from the start he was no good!"
Curses echoed endlessly throughout the room.
That is, until a man walked in, leisurely pulled up a chair, and sat down.
Everyone's eyes widened. "Fang Zhiyi!"
A hot-tempered member immediately stood up. "You still dare to show your face!"
"Fang Zhiyi, you're courting death!"
Facing the crowd's angry shouts, Fang Zhiyi wore a playful grin. "It's only been a day. Did you miss me that much?"
Zhu Qingqing abruptly stood up. "Zhiyi! Why did you do this?"
Fang Zhiyi looked somewhat bewildered. "What did I do?"
"While our brothers were fighting the government troops to the death, you actually stood in the back, completely indifferent! Were you in cahoots with Tang Zhilin all along?"
Fang Zhiyi spread his hands. "Even if I said I wasn't, you wouldn't believe me."
"You!"
"So I admit it. Tang Zhilin and I are wearing the same pair of pants."
The crowd, who had been ready to hurl more accusations, stared in wide-eyed disbelief.
"You... you actually admitted it!" Zhu Qingqing was furious.
Fang Zhiyi looked a bit helpless. "Sister, if I don't admit it, you'll curse me. If I do admit it, you're still unhappy. Is there something wrong with your head?"
"You! You! Who are you calling sister!"
"But everyone, don't panic. I am me, and he is him. He is the Commander, while I'm still just a handyman for your Dragon Slaying Society. Oh my, don't be so angry, extreme anger harms the body..."
"Die!" Someone suddenly attacked, but Fang Zhiyi merely extended three fingers. Almost no one could see his movements clearly before he clamped down on the attacker's wrist. With a casual exertion of force, a crisp cracking sound reached everyone's ears.
Following that was a miserable shriek.
"As you know, I don't like being an official. But having said that, don't you want to consider what kind of retaliation everyone sitting here will face if I lose even a single hair?"
Zhu Wanli was astounded. How could this Fang Zhiyi be so shameless? He was practically laying all his cards on the table!
"We are righteous warriors! Do you think we fear your threats?!" someone roared, and then everyone drew their weapons.
But at the critical moment, Zhu Wanli figured it out. Logically, Tang Zhilin had already begun his operation. If Fang Zhiyi could find this Wanli Pawnshop, why hadn't Tang Zhilin come?
"Stop!"
Zhu Wanli still commanded prestige. A single shout brought everyone to a halt.
Fang Zhiyi looked at him with profound meaning.
"Fang Zhiyi, what do you want?"
Fang Zhiyi merely smiled, staying silent.
"Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and war is breaking out everywhere. The Wei Dynasty's destiny is exhausted. Could it be that you and Tang Zhilin want to abandon the darkness and join the light?" Zhu Wanli voiced his speculation, his heart growing excited. It had to be!
Fang Zhiyi curled his lip. "Those things aren't important. But I am here to give you a grand gift."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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.
