"Ah, indeed, it's most comfortable when it's just the two of us."
"Finally managed to send those two girls away."
"Comfortable, so comfortable."
"Let's go, to the brothel!"
Chen Chang'an glanced at Da Huang, who was so overjoyed that he practically skipped as he walked. Anyone who didn’t know better might mistake him for some hybrid offspring of a dog and a rabbit.
After the Earth Rankings were announced, despite Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao's reluctance, Chen Chang'an had insisted they leave. By now, the two were no longer inexperienced newcomers. Though their cultivation at the Void Refinement realm was still considered low, among the younger generation, they were undoubtedly exceptional.
They needed their own trials and experiences—perhaps that would help them progress even faster. Chen Chang'an made a pact with them: three years later, they would reunite at the peak of Mount Taihua.
As for Da Huang, with those two girls gone, he saw it as shedding two burdens. No longer would he have to constantly worry about their safety.
Pure bliss! Absolute freedom!
"If you love brothels so much, why not go find Xuan Wudao?"
"Let him take you. You two are cut from the same cloth anyway."
"And he’s got plenty of experience," Chen Chang'an remarked with a faint smile.
"Now that you mention it…"
"That’s actually not a bad idea."
"The Wuji Sect isn’t too far from here, right?"
"Since we’re already in the area, why not pay Xuan Wudao a visit? You know his father too, don’t you?"
"I’m quite curious whether Xuan Wudao would actually call you 'Uncle,'" Da Huang chuckled.
The Wuji Sect?
"What’s the plan?"
"Well, we don’t have any leads on the fetal beads right now. Might as well have some fun."
"Don’t forget, after your master kicked you out, you swore to roam the world and live freely."
"If not for stumbling upon those beads, we’d still be living the high life," Da Huang grumbled, shooting Chen Chang'an a dissatisfied look.
Originally, he’d tagged along for a good time—only to end up helping Chen Chang'an hunt for some mysterious beads.
"Fine, let’s head to the Wuji Sect," Chen Chang'an agreed with a nod.
"Oh, young man, you’re heading to the Wuji Sect?"
"Best not go. Definitely not now."
"The Wuji Sect is in no state to receive visitors."
Hmm?
Chen Chang'an turned to an elderly man at the neighboring table and asked curiously, "Why not?"
"Young man, you must be planning to join the sect, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, there’d be no issue. But right now, the Wuji Sect has stirred up serious trouble. You’d be better off choosing another sect."
"Take my advice—look elsewhere."
Serious trouble?
Now Chen Chang'an was even more intrigued. The Wuji Sect was one of the three great sects. Though it lacked a peak-level Great Emperor, it still had formidable experts at the Great Emperor realm.
What kind of trouble could they possibly be in? Had they offended a peak Great Emperor?
"The Wuji Sect is a major power."
"Is there really someone they can’t afford to provoke?"
"How do you know all this?" Chen Chang'an pressed.
"Of course there is."
"Though the Wuji Sect is prestigious, there are plenty they can’t afford to cross."
"From what I’ve heard—just rumors, mind you—"
"The Wuji Sect’s Grand Elder’s son, Xuan Wudao, finally returned after vanishing for thousands of years."
"But that boy’s always been a troublemaker."
"He offended someone he shouldn’t have, and now the other party has vowed to wipe out the entire Wuji Sect."
"The news has spread far and wide. I hear the Wuji Sect is scrambling for allies, treating this as a life-or-death crisis."
Wait… this mess involves Xuan Wudao?
After all those years as a beggar, he comes home and immediately stirs up trouble?
Might as well have stayed gone!
"Do you know exactly who they offended?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"That, I’m not sure. But whoever it is, the Wuji Sect can’t handle them."
"Rumors say they’re someone of immense influence."
Immense influence?
Chen Chang'an exchanged a glance with Da Huang. If even the Wuji Sect was trembling in fear, this opponent must be something else.
But what really piqued their curiosity was—how in the world had Xuan Wudao managed to provoke them?
He’d only been back at the Wuji Sect for two or three years. How did he stir up such a disaster so quickly?
"Let’s go check it out."
At Chen Chang'an’s words, Da Huang nodded. Under the stunned gaze of the old man, the two vanished on the spot.
Meanwhile, deep within the Wuji Sect’s forbidden grounds, Xuan Wudao knelt miserably, his face full of frustration.
"You brat! I haven’t even settled the score with you for disappearing for thousands of years!"
"And now? You had to go and provoke the Luo Shen Palace?"
"Do you have any idea who they are?"
"What kind of depravity have you picked up out there?"
"You’re a disgrace!"
Xuan Wudao never imagined that at several thousand years old, he’d still be getting scolded like a child by his father.
Though he’d indeed caused a catastrophe, Xuan Wudao couldn’t help feeling wronged.
How was he supposed to know it was the Luo Shen Palace? And honestly, what kind of respectable sect decorates itself like a brothel?
Thinking he’d stumbled upon a high-class pleasure house, Xuan Wudao had eagerly marched in—only to be kicked out the next second.
"Do you realize how lucky you are that you only barged into a branch of the Luo Shen Palace?"
"Otherwise, you’d be a corpse by now!"
"And you still have the nerve to talk about 'gaining experience' out there?"
"Is this the kind of 'experience' you were after?"
"Since when did you pick up such disgusting habits?"
"Visiting brothels? Your father has lived for millennia and never once set foot in one!"
Xuan Tianyu glared at his unrepentant son, fury burning in his chest.
"I didn’t know it was the Luo Shen Palace! If they didn’t want misunderstandings, why make their place look like a brothel?" Xuan Wudao grumbled.
"A brothel?!"
"The Luo Shen Palace is an all-female sect! Just because they keep their place elegant, you mistake it for a brothel?"
"Have you ever seen a brothel that refined?"
"You—are you trying to kill me with rage?!"
Xuan Tianyu was tempted to smack his worthless son dead on the spot.
Now, as the Wuji Sect’s Grand Elder, how was he supposed to explain this mess?
The Luo Shen Palace had made their stance clear: unless Xuan Wudao died, they would raze the Wuji Sect to the ground. How could he possibly stand against them?
"Father, didn’t you call for reinforcements?"
"Can’t they handle the Luo Shen Palace?" Xuan Wudao asked, puzzled.
"Do you even know how powerful the Luo Shen Palace is?"
"Handle them?"
"With what?!"
"Their palace master is a peak Great Emperor—one of the old-guard legends!"
"The Luo Shen Palace despises lecherous scum like you, and you just had to waltz right into their territory!"
"You’re truly exceptional—doing what no one else dares!" Xuan Tianyu sneered.
"No one else dares?"
"Father, does that make me impressive?"
BANG!
"I’ll show you impressive!"
"I’ll end you right here, you little bastard!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...

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.
