[You know, if you don’t explain yourself today, I’m afraid you won’t be leaving here alive.]
[“Back when I was with the Firewood Sect…”]
[“The Firewood Sect is one of our low-level networks on Fireglow Star. Did you deliberately infiltrate it?”]
[“No. I joined the Firewood Sect because I wanted to find someone who could teach me how to condense qi into a core.”]
[“You’re practically at the Core Formation stage, and you still don’t know how?”]
[“That’s because I’m from a very remote place. I’m not from Fireglow Star.”]
[“Fireglow Star is remote enough already. You’re saying there’s somewhere even more remote? Come on, tell me about it!”]
[You could tell from the look in Ji Wuqing’s eyes that she wasn’t trying to root out a suspicious character. She clearly just wanted to hear a story.]
[“It all started with a mine…”]
[You portrayed yourself as Old Master Zhang’s disciple, saying that you had been traveling through the stars with your master when you accidentally became stranded on Fortune Star, only to be dragged off to work in a mine.]
[Everything before Fortune Star was pure fabrication. You could pin it all on Old Master Zhang anyway—he was already dead and unable to contradict you.]
[As for what happened after Fortune Star, you simply told the truth.]
[When you mentioned how the rebel army had sacrificed themselves so that you could leave Fortune Star, Ji Wuqing wiped away tears along with you.]
[“That’s so moving! They were all fine sons of humanity!
Who would have thought that, on such a backward third-grade star, suffering under the oppression of foreign races, they would still possess such a spirit of fearlessly embracing death!
I’ve decided. In the future, the Torch Society must establish informant networks on third-grade stars. Fortune Star will be our first stop!”]
[“After that…”]
[“But this also proves how capable a leader you are! A rebel army made up entirely of mortals was able to stand against cultivator forces. You must be very talented!”]
[“Yes, and then…”]
[“You must also have tremendous personal charisma. Otherwise, how could you have inspired so many people to sacrifice themselves for you?”]
[“Miss Ji, why don’t you wait until I’m finished before interrupting?”]
[You then recounted how you had arrived on Fireglow Star.]
[You left out everything that had happened in Mystic Maiden Town.]
[After all, you had no idea how to explain your ability to kill the Demon Calamity True Lord so easily.]
[You also attributed most of the credit for the battle at Fortune Star’s spaceport, where you escaped, to Shen Yifeng and the others.]
[Otherwise, there would have been no way to explain how you had been so powerful.]
[In the eyes of outsiders, you were only at the Core Formation stage and did not even possess a divine ability. How could you possibly have stood against the three most powerful factions on an entire planet?]
[Even if it was only a second-grade star.]
[When she heard that every member of the Torch Society on Fireglow Star had sacrificed themselves, Ji Wuqing began crying again.]
[“The torch is passed on, generation after generation! They did not betray the oath they swore when they joined the Torch Society. I salute them!”]
[Ji Wuqing raised her clasped fist toward the distant sky.]
[Everyone aboard the ship behind her followed suit.]
[At this point, neither of you had any reason to doubt the other’s identity.]
[It was also time for you to complete your mission.]
[You asked Ji Wuqing to wait there while you went alone to where A-Dou was hiding and brought him back.]
[In truth, Ji Wuqing did not know who the human prodigy she was supposed to receive would be.]
[The Torch Society simply sent someone to this location at this time every year to receive the person being escorted out.]
[This year, it happened to be Ji Wuqing’s turn.]
[“The Torch Society on Fireglow Star sacrificed every last member to send this child out. He must possess extraordinary talent. Let me see what kind of immortal aptitude he has.”]
[Ji Wuqing did not use any tools. She merely placed one hand against A-Dou’s palm.]
[When she saw the golden characters in the centers of A-Dou’s left and right palms, she was already astonished.]
[But when the examination results came out, she cried out in shock.]
[“The Chosen One!”]
[You were somewhat curious.]
[“What does that mean?”]
[“You’re not a member of the Torch Society, so it’s best that you don’t ask. This child is of the utmost importance. The Torch Society will devote all its resources to protecting him and helping him grow. You can rest assured.”]
[“I’d like to ask something. You seem to hold a fairly high position in the Torch Society, and you’re the Ji clan’s eldest daughter. Does that mean the Ji clan is the backer behind the Torch Society?”]
[Ji Wuqing smiled and shook her head.]
[“I already told you not to ask too many questions. Actually, according to protocol, I ought to kill you to silence you…”]
[A-Dou immediately stepped in front of you and spread his arms wide.]
[“Don’t hurt Uncle Chen! If you try to harm him, I won’t go with you!”]
[Ji Wuqing lowered her head and looked at A-Dou, then nodded slightly.]
[“He truly lives up to the title of Chosen One. At such a young age, he already possesses such remarkable character!
Don’t worry. Although he isn’t a member of the Torch Society, he risked his life to bring you here. He is a benefactor of the Torch Society—and of humanity as a whole.
Not only will I not kill him, I’ll make sure he is properly rewarded!”]
[You said,]
[“I only want to know whether A-Dou will have access to sufficient resources for cultivation with your organization. If the Ji clan stands behind the Torch Society, then I naturally have nothing to worry about.”]
[“There’s no need to worry. That might be difficult to guarantee for an ordinary person, but in his case, even if every member of the Torch Society stopped cultivating, they would still ensure that he had the best possible conditions.
However, you shouldn’t place too much hope in him.
Talent is talent, and destiny is destiny.
High aptitude only means that he has a greater chance of achieving great things in the future. It doesn’t guarantee that he will.
I’ve seen plenty of people with mediocre aptitude cultivate to astonishing heights.
I’ve also seen prodigies with heaven-defying talent spend their entire lives accomplishing nothing.
Cultivation isn’t like pouring water into a tank. You don’t get exactly as much out of it as you put in.”]
[You looked at A-Dou.]
[“If his achievements are limited in the future, send him back to me.”]
[“We’ll discuss that when the time comes.”]
[“Where will he be taken? Will he stay on Vermilion-Purple Star?”]
[When Ji Wuqing fell silent, you gave a bitter smile.]
[“All right. I suppose that’s not something I have the right to ask.”]
[To help a prodigy grow beneath the watchful eyes of countless foreign races, without raising him into a sheltered greenhouse flower…]
[Just thinking about it was enough to make you feel that it would be an utter nightmare.]
[Still, you trusted that the Torch Society had a way to handle it. After all, it was an organization that had been passed down through countless ages and specialized in precisely this sort of thing.]
[A-Dou boarded the ship.]
[Your collection of spirit treasures squeezed their way out of your storage pouch, weeping as if they were crying vessels.]
[“Little Master! Take this old servant with you too!”]
[“A-Dou, don’t forget us! Come home often to visit us lonely old artifacts!”]
[“Kid, listen to them when you get there. Cultivate hard and grow up well!”]
[Ji Wuqing did not board the ship.]
[Instead, she bent down curiously and examined the various trinkets hanging from your body.]
[“Amazing. All these acquired spirit treasures of yours have artifact spirits? How did you manage that?”]
[“It had nothing to do with me. They were taken by an old woman called the Grand Matriarch of Myriad Treasures. She was the one who gave them artifact spirits.”]
[“As expected of humanity—our people are truly overflowing with talent!”]
[“It’s a shame that old hag was a bad person.”]
[“Bad people can be talented too!”]
[“…”]
[A-Dou’s ship gradually vanished into the night.]
[Standing at the stern, he kept looking back at the shore.]
[You stand at the water's edge, your gaze lingering, unable to pull away.]
[Rain begins to fall from the sky, sprinkling your face.]
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

] 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.
