Shen Suning After Returning to Secular Life
Liu Ruyan, forgot to post this earlier
Shen Suning stood in the bamboo forest. The female cultivators of the Wangchen Nunnery were all busy repairing the mountain peak that had just been reduced to ruins by the destruction of three Immortal Kings.
But Shen Suning had no time to pay attention to them. Her gaze was fixed dead on the direction where Qin Hao had disappeared. Gripping the Primordial Chaos Cudgel that Qin Hao had given her, she cursed inwardly, This bastard, he just left like that!
He left just like that, without a single trace of hesitation!
Shen Suning looked down at the oversized robe wrapped around her body. It still carried Qin Hao's scent. This scent made her feel at ease, but at the same time, it made her heart flutter in panic.
She thought of everything that had happened over the past month, thought of Qin Hao...
Shen Suning's face flushed red again. In the next second, her eyes became resolute. Bastard, you think you can just play around and refuse to take responsibility?
What brief parting is for a better reunion next time? She didn't want a brief parting; she wanted to stay together forever.
She took a deep breath and shouted into the sky, Come to the main hall for a meeting!
The mighty power of an Immortal King wrapped around her voice, spreading it throughout the entire Wangchen Nunnery.
A quarter of an hour later, in the main hall of Wangchen Nunnery.
Flickering candlelight illuminated the nuns kneeling all over the floor.
The elders of Wangchen Nunnery were currently kneeling there trembling in fear, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Ever since the Abbess fought for the half-step Emperor Weapon last time, she had been in secluded cultivation for a thousand years. When three Immortal Kings came seeking revenge, a stream of sword qi descended from the sky and crushed the three of them into nothingness. Was that the Abbess's doing? It was utterly terrifying.
The leading old nun tremblingly raised her head to look at the figure sitting high above, who was exuding a terrifying oppressive aura:
Congratulations, Abbess, on your massive increase in cultivation, defeating three mighty Immortal Kings all by yourself.
Shen Suning glanced at the old nun but did not explain. Her gaze merely swept across the faces of the kneeling elders one by one.
After a moment of silence, Shen Suning finally spoke:
I gathered you all here today to announce something.
Hearing this, the elders all pricked up their ears. Shen Suning took a deep breath and said something they could never have expected.
I have decided to return to secular life!
As soon as these words came out, the grand hall fell dead silent. The elders widened their eyes, looking at Shen Suning with expressions full of disbelief.
A-Abbess, w-what did you say? The leading old nun was so shocked that her voice changed pitch.
Shen Suning calmly repeated, I am returning to secular life.
Receiving confirmation from Shen Suning's mouth once again, the elders could not help but speak up to dissuade her:
Abbess! You are the only mighty Immortal King of our Wangchen Nunnery. If you return to secular life and leave, how will Wangchen Nunnery still have the qualifications to remain a Holy Land?
Shen Suning raised her hand to interrupt their words:
I know what you are thinking. Rest assured, after I return to secular life, I will still leave a wisp of divine sense in the nunnery. If Wangchen Nunnery is ever in danger, I will return in time.
Speaking up to here, Shen Suning paused, then stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
Over the past month, I have figured out a lot of things.
Her voice was very light, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears:
I have cultivated for ten thousand years and always believed that being emotionless was the Great Dao. Thinking about it now, the seven emotions and six desires are not shackles, but one's true nature. There is no need to deliberately avoid them; letting nature take its course is fine.
At these words, the elders looked at each other in dismay. They could not help but guess in their hearts, How could the Abbess say such things? Which lowly man stole the Abbess's soul?
Shen Suning turned around, looked at them, and finally rested her gaze on the leading old nun:
Qingxin, you have been with me the longest. I feel at ease handing Wangchen Nunnery over to you. From today onwards, you are the Abbess of Wangchen Nunnery.
The old nun's eyes instantly turned red. She hurriedly knelt down, wanting to continue begging Shen Suning to stay, but Shen Suning merely raised her hand gently, and a powerful force lifted the old nun up.
My mind is made up, do not try to make me stay. I am giving this jade pendant to you.
Inside are my insights on cultivation, as well as three of my clones that I left behind. They are enough to deal with ordinary crises.
After saying that, Shen Suning strode away. Under the moonlight, her figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind only a group of dumbfounded elders kneeling in place, unable to recover their wits for a long time.

Qin Family
Qin Hao lay on his ten-thousand-year warm jade bed, listening to the system's order settlement prompt.
Ding, the rent-a-Dao-companion service has ended.
Settling...
Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a ten-star review.
Rewards obtained: One Dou of Luck. Ten-star review reward: Star Body Forging Platform.
Star Body Forging Platform: Channels the power of the stars and the tides of the galaxy to wash over the physical body. A strength-type supreme treasure for body refinement. Strength stacks up, allowing the physical body to break all laws with pure force.
Hearing the system's prompt, Qin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly:
Oh, not bad. A supreme treasure for body refinement? I was just thinking that I have too many weapons on hand and can't use them all. This is good.
Breaking all laws with pure force, I like it just like this. Who cares what divine abilities or spells you have, go talk to my fists.
Ding, the next order is expected to be delivered in one month.
Qin Hao nodded. One month, not bad. He could take a month's vacation. During this free month, he would go find Qingyue and the others to bond and connect. Their affection levels couldn't be allowed to drop.
Relying on their affection levels, Qin Hao had naturally mastered a divine ability that Su Qingyue and Jiang Xinyao had recently learned. However, he didn't know what went wrong on Xia Lingxi's side; not a single divine ability had been returned from her.
Could it be that her affection level dropped?
Damn dog system, I can't see the specific affection levels and can only rely on my feelings.
Dog host, do not slander me. I told you to spend one Dou of Luck to unlock it, but you were too stingy.
Qin Hao snorted coldly. Nonsense. He didn't have many Dous of Luck to begin with. Spending a whole Dou of Luck just to check an affection level? Wouldn't that be stupid?
Curling his lips, Qin Hao opened his information panel.
Name: Qin Hao
Identity: Emperor Son of the Desolate Ancient Qin Family
Cultivation Base: Void Refinement Realm, Seventh Stage
Luck: Four Dous and Five Shengs (Frequent encounters with serendipity, assisted by noble benefactors)

Magical Treasures: Nine Tribulations Sword, Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda, Soul Devouring Banner, Great Void Sword, Primordial Luck Plundering Stele, Samsara Seal, Star Body Forging Platform...
Let's test out the effects of this Star Body Forging Platform first.
Qin Hao sat up from the ten-thousand-year warm jade bed and beckoned with his hand.
In the void, a massive stone platform slowly emerged. The stone platform was pitch-black all over, its surface covered with star patterns.
As soon as it appeared, Qin Hao felt the light in his room dim.
As long as I stack up my physical strength, even if I have many wives in the future, I won't end up favoring one over the other, right?
Qin Hao muttered to himself. He walked up to the stone platform and reached out to touch its freezing surface.
Instantly, an indescribable sense of heaviness swept over Qin Hao's divine soul, as if what he was touching was not a stone platform, but an entire starry sky.
Qin Hao no longer hesitated and flipped himself onto the stone platform.

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
