【“Ji Wuqing!
You joined the Tinder Society, opposed the laws of the Sacred Dragon Society, colluded with traitors, fostered dangerous elements, and slaughtered countless righteous soldiers of the Peace Bureau!
Today, if you refuse to surrender and submit to arrest, the Ji Clan will pay a terrible price for your actions!”】
【The booming voice echoed again and again throughout the ancestral lands of the Ji Clan.】
【In city after city, countless members of the Ji Clan looked up.】
【The sound of war drums rolling across the clouds, together with the densely packed ranks of Peace Bureau soldiers, weighed heavily upon everyone.】
【The Ji Clan soon responded.】
【The defense forces and patrol camps in every city, along with the great army guarding the Ji Clan, all answered the call and began preparing for battle.】
【Faced with the Peace Bureau’s army pressing down upon them, the cultivators in the ancestral lands also rose up in resistance.】
【Figures began taking to the skies.】
【Various formations, spirit treasures, mounts, and battle pets were activated one after another.】
【Before the battle had even begun, the air was already thick with the smoke of war.】
【“The Peace Bureau is here to arrest the young lady!”】
【“The young lady is innocent and carefree, straightforward by nature, and fair-minded. She often stands up for us and delivers justice. What crime could she possibly have committed?”】
【“Hmph. Does the Peace Bureau need a reason to arrest someone? If they say you’re guilty, then you’re guilty!”】
【“They’re saying the young lady is a member of the Tinder Society. I’ve heard of that organization. The Sacred Dragon Society designated it as the number-one reactionary organization in the Milky Way System!”】
【“How could the young lady have joined the Tinder Society? Could there be some mistake?”】
【All across the ancestral lands, discussions broke out.】
【The Ji Clan members had originally intended to fight the Peace Bureau, but before anyone could actually make a move, an order sent from Wan’an City to every corner suppressed them.】
【“Everyone, stand down! The Ji Clan will never oppose the judicial system of the Sacred Dragon Society! Trust that the Peace Bureau will handle this fairly! Everyone is to perform their own duties. No one is permitted to act rashly!”】
【The order appeared in written form above every major city in the ancestral lands.】
【The soldiers and cultivators in each region could only look at one another in bewilderment when they saw it.】
【Disobeying an order from the clan would be tantamount to betraying the clan. If so, how could the Peace Bureau before them be considered an enemy?】
【Above Wan’an City.】
【A jade disc carried the upper echelons of the Ji Clan into the sky.】
【The clan head, Ji Baiming; Ji Qianceng, Ji Qianlang, Ji Qianmiao, and the other ten great elders; along with more than a hundred renowned elders, high-ranking officials, and powerful cultivators of the Ji Clan, all stood upon it.】
【As layers of clouds loomed overhead and a vast army pressed down upon them, Ji Baiming remained in a low position and bowed from afar toward the heavens.】
【“I am Ji Baiming. I request an audience with the person in charge of this operation.”】
【The colorful clouds in the sky parted, and a golden road descended from above.】
【A man of the Sacred Dragon race, with the head of an Eastern divine dragon and dressed in white, sat in a four-wheeled golden war chariot drawn by eight white winged unicorns. He traveled down the golden road toward them.】
【This man was the deputy director of the Milky Way Peace Bureau.】
【But he was better known by another title.】
【“The Ji Clan pays its respects to the Golden Sea Immortal Lord!”】
【Ji Baiming and the other Ji Clan leaders bowed in unison.】
【The Golden Sea Immortal Lord smiled amiably, baring his dragon’s teeth.】
【“No need for formalities, no need for formalities. Clan Head Ji, it’s been more than two hundred years since we last met, hasn’t it?”】
【“It has indeed been over two hundred years since you last visited Purplefall Star on official business. I had no idea you were coming this time, or I would have fulfilled my duties as host.”】
【“Hahaha! Clan Head Ji, you jest. On Purplefall Star alone, there are seven or eight human factions comparable to the Ji Clan. And outside the human race, the major factions of the other races are even more numerous.
You Ji Clan are hardly in a position to call yourselves the hosts.”】
【“Yes, yes, of course…”】
【“Enough with the small talk. Hand over your daughter. Otherwise, for the sake of peace in this star system, I’ll have no choice but to erase the Ji Clan from existence.”】
【As he spoke, the corners of his smiling mouth stretched even wider. Then he added:】
【“And I don’t mean only those surnamed Ji on Purplefall Star. From this entire Milky Way System, there will no longer be a single person surnamed Ji.”】
【A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ji Baiming’s face.】
【“Immortal Lord, could there be some mistake? My daughter may be headstrong, but how could she have joined the Tinder Society? With her temperament, she isn’t suited for something like that. She’d only cause trouble if she went there, wouldn’t she?”】
【“Hahaha! Clan Head Ji, you really don’t understand your own daughter at all. She didn’t go there to cause trouble. She used the resources of your Ji Clan to cultivate quite a number of enemies for us!”】
【At those words, Ji Qianceng and the other elders all turned to look at Ji Baiming.】
【Several renowned elders hurriedly distanced themselves from the matter.】
【“Immortal Lord, I swear we knew nothing about this!”】
【“That’s right! This Ji Xiaoyue… Oh, I mean the Ji Wuqing you mentioned—she is the clan head’s eldest daughter. Usually, no one in the clan dared refuse her.
So when she occasionally drew upon large amounts of clan resources, no one suspected anything!”】
【“Immortal Lord, please believe us. Most of the Ji Clan had no idea what was happening. But we can investigate the matter thoroughly!
Anyone who assisted her, sheltered her, or was part of her faction will be arrested and handed over to the Peace Bureau!”】
【As these people spoke, you, Ji Wuqing, and Ji Xiaosong were listening from Mount Ancient Firmament.】
【With cultivation at your level, you could hear them clearly despite the immense distance, unless they deliberately concealed their voices.】
【You said, somewhat puzzled:】
【“Why are the Ji Clan’s elders so spineless? None of them are willing to defend you?”】
【Ji Wuqing sighed.】
【“That’s the Peace Bureau. Behind them stands the Sacred Dragon Society—and the Immortal Emperor, the only Immortal Emperor in the entire Milky Way System!”】
【“I thought the Ji Clan was an ancient clan with some foundation and backbone…”】
【“Before the Sacred Dragon Society, all of that is nothing but an illusion. Even if every human faction joined forces, they still couldn’t stand against a single direct subordinate organization of the Sacred Dragon Society.
The Peace Bureau alone has far more Immortal Lords than all the human factions combined.”】
【Ji Baiming was also an Immortal Lord, but there were nine stages to the Immortal Lord realm, and the gap between each stage was enormous—practically equivalent to the difference of an entire major realm in the stages below.】
【As a first-tier human faction, the Ji Clan’s highest publicly known cultivation level was the Immortal Lord realm, and most of its Immortal Lords were only at the lower stages.】
【But the deputy director of the Peace Bureau was a ninth-stage Immortal Lord!】
【That was why the other races had always maintained their suppression of humanity.】
【On third-class stars, they turned humans into slaves.】
【On second-class stars, they prevented humans with outstanding talent from cultivating.】
【On first-class stars, there was seemingly no overt oppression, but in reality, the alien factions there were even more powerful, naturally suppressing the human factions.】
【As for special-class stars, there was not even a trace of humanity to be found.】
【You stopped thinking about it, took Ji Wuqing by the hand, and said:】
【“Come on. I’ll take you away!”】
【Ji Wuqing pulled her hand free.】
【“I can’t leave. They’ve sealed off the entire ancestral land. No matter what method I use to escape, they’ll detect me.”】
【“What are you planning to do?”】
【“I’m going.”】
【“Are you crazy? That’s a certain death!”】
【“Then I’ll go anyway! I can’t let the clan pay the price for what I’ve done!”】
【“You care so much about your family, yet they don’t seem to feel the same way about you.”】
【“They’re merely trying to protect themselves, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Have you forgotten what the purpose of the Torchbearer Society is?”】
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above.

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.
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...
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...
