Can't You Even Save My Face

【You had heard of the famed Purple Radiance Star long ago.】

【It was the largest first-tier star in the entire Southern Star Realm.】

【And “largest” referred not only to its size, but also to the prosperity found upon it.】

【It had the greatest number of races, the most factions, the largest factional forces, the richest resources, the most hidden treasures, and so on.】

【You were preparing to leave Blazing Light Star and find a first-tier star to cultivate on, in order to speed up your progress.】

【You decided to help Shen Yifeng while you were at it and bring the child along.】

【For others, taking a young child with them while fleeing would be a burden—but not for you.】

【Because… “Zilong! Zilong!”】

【This was like giving yourself a buff—bringing along a Red Daddy!】

【A light-speed punch with a hundred times the power?】

【You didn’t even dare imagine how many alien races a single punch could pierce through!】

【“Elder Chen, are you truly willing to make this journey?”】

【“To be honest, my immortal root isn’t particularly strong. The environment of a second-tier star has already begun to hinder my cultivation, so I was planning to head to a first-tier star anyway. I’ll simply take care of this matter while I’m at it…”】

【Before you could finish speaking, Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang had already knelt at your sides. You immediately reached out to help them up.】

【“There’s no need for this. I’m human too. Even though I haven’t joined the Torchbearer Society, it’s only right that I do my part.”】

【“You mustn’t put it that way! This is a matter of staking one’s life!

Every major sect on Blazing Light Star is hunting this child. The mark on his hands can’t be concealed. By taking him with you, you’ll be making an enemy of the entire Blazing Light Star!

You deserve our bow!”】

【You tested it yourself.】

【And it was true!】

【No matter what you did to smudge or cover the words “sun” and “moon” in the child’s palms, they would always shine through from beneath his skin.】

【Even if you wrapped them in layer upon layer of cloth to block the radiance, the moment his palms were exposed to the air, anyone would be able to see them.】

【No wonder all the members of the Torchbearer Society on Blazing Light Star had been wiped out.】

【Wherever this child went, it was equivalent to giving the enemy a marked location!】

【But you also understood why the Torchbearer Society was protecting him at any cost, and why the alien races were hunting him so relentlessly.】

【He was humanity’s SSR draw!】

【You helped the two men to their feet and said, “This journey will be perilous. I can’t guarantee that we’ll succeed, but I’ll do everything in my power. At the very least, I won’t let the child die before I do.”】

【Ma Bang’s eyes filled with tears.】

【“The Firewood Sect won’t let Elder Six fight alone. We’ll all serve as your reinforcements and obey your commands!”】

【Hearing this, you couldn’t help thinking of the rebel army on Fortune Star.】

【Again.】

【A group of people protecting you as you made your escape.】

【Remembering the scenes of the rebels dying one after another on the starship, you shook your head.】

【“This time, I’ll go alone.”】

【You offered no further explanation. You merely told Ma Bang to help the child pack some necessities and prepare to leave immediately.】

【You estimated that this place was no longer safe. You had to leave as quickly as possible.】

【Even though you had acted decisively enough,】

【at the first hint of dawn, hundreds of scouting teams from the Skydemon Sect, along with several thousand dragonkin, still stormed into Firewood Town.】

【They set up warning formations around the outskirts. They would know whenever anyone entered or left.】

【Then they went from house to house, searching for young children and inspecting their palms.】

【“Quick! Search everything! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but find the criminal! Remember—we need him alive! Why are you still knocking? Break the doors down and charge straight in!”】

【“A two-and-a-half-year-old boy with the words ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ on his palms! Anyone who dares conceal him will have their entire clan executed!”】

【“Hand over the criminal, and you’ll be treated leniently!”】

【The streets rang with footsteps and shouted orders, while the sky roared with the wingbeats of countless dragonkin.】

【Everyone in the town was driven into the streets, forced to watch helplessly as the dragonkin ransacked their homes and left everything in disarray.】

【Although the Skydemon Sect was one of the three largest sects on the planet, the quality of the disciples sent to handle matters on the front lines varied greatly—especially when dealing with humans.】

【Some took the opportunity to rob people and plunder their possessions.】

【Some beat people to vent their anger, even causing deaths.】

【Others indulged in vile curiosities and preyed on human women. The scene was utterly disgraceful.】

【The people in the streets glared at these thieves and thugs with fury.】

【But aside from swallowing their anger, they had no other choice.】

【Then one person stepped forward.】

【Granny He, the oldest resident of Firewood Town.】

【She was already ninety years old.】

【For a mortal—and a human—to live to ninety in a world like this was no small feat. One could only imagine the countless hardships and dangers she had endured to survive this long.】

【Granny He’s back was hunched to nearly a ninety-degree angle. Leaning on a cane, she tottered forward one unsteady step at a time toward the alien race.】

【“You kill our people, steal our food, and deny us the chance to cultivate!

We can endure all of that!

But why won’t you even spare a child who isn’t yet three years old? Why make such a huge show of hunting him down!

He’s so young he can’t even speak properly. What crime could he have committed? What could he possibly have done!”】

【The captain of the dragonkin scouting team cast Granny He a sidelong glance.】

【“Where did this dead old hag come from? Get out of the way!”】

【He spread his leathery wing and swung it toward Granny He.】

【The surrounding residents closed their eyes, unable to bear watching.】

【Some, filled with righteous indignation, rushed forward to protect Granny He.】

【But how could mortals and cultivators possibly match the speed of a cultivator?】

【Yet the dragonkin’s leathery wing was caught by an aged hand before it could land, and it couldn’t be forced down even an inch.】

【“Well now, dragonkin sir, could you spare this old woman for the sake of an old man like me? She’s already over ninety.”】

【The newcomer was Shen Yifeng.】

【“Hmph! Over ninety? I’m more than five hundred years old myself! Don’t try to pull rank on me! And who are you, old man? Why should I give you face?”】

【“I am Shen Yifeng, the Founding Patriarch of the Firewood Sect.”】

【“Never heard of you! This old woman is spreading lies and inciting trouble. I’m going to execute her on the spot! I don’t care whose face you think you have!”】

【Just as he was about to strike again, a commanding voice came from behind Shen Yifeng.】

【“You won’t even give me face?”】

【You slowly walked forward with your hands clasped behind your back, looking every inch the powerful expert and radiating an overwhelming aura.】

【But in the eyes of this Core Formation realm scouting captain, his spiritual senses told him that your cultivation was also at the Core Formation realm.】

【You were both at the Core Formation realm—so what were you putting on airs for?】

【“What kind of stray cat or dog expects me to give him face? I, Muhaha, am a captain, you know!”】

【Muhaha raised his leathery wing. Dark light gathered upon it, and he brought it crashing down.】

【You sprang forward, pulled Shen Yifeng aside, and raised one hand.】

【Without a sound, your hand moved like the sharpest blade in the world, effortlessly severing one of Muhaha’s leathery wings.】

【Then you curled your fingers into a claw, reached forward, and ripped out Muhaha’s heart!】

【You were far too familiar with this move.】

【The surrounding dragonkin immediately recognized you.】

【“It’s him! The mysterious man who destroyed the sect master’s physical body!”】

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

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.
