In the forbidden grounds of the Wuji Sect, the agonizing screams of Xuan Wudao echoed incessantly.
"Hit him harder!"
"That little brat deserves a good beating."
"This rascal disappeared for years without a word, only to return and cause trouble. Who knows what he’s been up to or what kind of friends he’s made out there."
"Ah, bad influences, no doubt. Xuan Wudao was always a good kid at heart."
"Exactly! He used to be such a fine boy. He must’ve fallen in with the wrong crowd."
"What a shame… what a terrible shame!"
Within the Wuji Sect, Xuan Wudao had always enjoyed a solid reputation and was well-liked by the elders.
After vanishing for so many years, the sect had searched high and low for him, but no one expected he’d run so far out of shame—almost to the edge of the Central Heaven Domain.
Everyone assumed he’d met with misfortune during his travels.
His return brought immense relief, but it was quickly overshadowed by an unavoidable disaster.
"You little brat, have you learned your lesson yet?"
Though Xuan Tianyu’s beating was fierce, Xuan Wudao’s thick skin spared him any real injury.
To save his father’s face, Xuan Wudao obediently muttered, "I’ve learned my lesson," while silently adding, "But I don’t plan to change."
"Dad, what do we do now?"
"Is the Luo Shen Palace really going to kill me?"
Despite his carefree nature, Xuan Wudao wasn’t entirely fearless when faced with mortal danger.
After finally shedding his beggar’s identity, was he really going to die like this?
"Whether they’ll kill you or not, I don’t know. But they’ll definitely demand your surrender."
"However, judging by the Luo Shen Palace’s usual methods, you’ll wish you were dead." Xuan Tianyu sighed helplessly.
Worse than death?
Could it be…?
Xuan Wudao’s eyes suddenly lit up. The Luo Shen Palace was an all-female sect—were they planning some special form of torture?
"What the hell is wrong with your brain?!"
"You weren’t like this before! What kind of friends have you been keeping?!"
One look at Xuan Wudao’s expression told Xuan Tianyu exactly what the brat was thinking, and he nearly lunged at him again in fury.
"Ahem, nothing! My friends are all…"
"Wait—Dad! I’m saved! I have a friend, a really powerful one!" Xuan Wudao suddenly remembered Chen Chang'an.
With Chen Chang'an around, he’d be safe and sound.
"Your friend? A powerful one?"
"What kind of ‘powerful’ friend could you possibly have?" Xuan Tianyu scoffed.
"Dad, I’m serious this time."
"My sworn brother is your big brother!"
Your sworn brother is my big brother?
Xuan Tianyu stared at Xuan Wudao, then suddenly burst into laughter—bright and mocking.
"Dad, what are you—?"
"I’m telling the truth! I—"
"AHHH!"
"Dad, why are you hitting me for real this time?!"
The screams erupted once more from the Wuji Sect’s forbidden grounds, this time loud enough to shake the entire sect.
"Oh no, the Grand Elder’s going all out!"
"Is he… disowning his own son?!"
"Ah, the Grand Elder is sacrificing everything for the sect’s sake."
"Such a noble elder… why did he have to raise such a disgraceful son?"
"Those screams… they sound brutal."
Just hearing them sent chills down everyone’s spines. Though curiosity burned, no one dared approach the forbidden grounds.
"St-stop… no more!"
"You’ll really kill me this time!"
"I’m not lying! My sworn brother is your big brother!"
"You were the one begging to call him ‘big brother’!"
The more Xuan Wudao protested, the harder Xuan Tianyu hit.
I begged to call someone ‘big brother’?
I couldn’t even get him to acknowledge me, but you became his friend?
Have you no shame?!
Who the hell do you think you are?!
Do you even compare to me?!
Xuan Tianyu’s fists rained down like a storm, leaving Xuan Wudao no room to dodge—not that he dared.
"Pwease… no mowe! I’m weally not wying!"
"Speak properly!"
"If you hit me… I can’t tawk!"
Xuan Tianyu glared at his son, now sporting a swollen face, and coldly ordered, "Fix yourself."
Once the beating stopped, Xuan Wudao nodded and quickly healed his battered face.
As an Immortal Realm cultivator, recovery was swift.
"Dad, I swear I’m not lying."
"Chen Chang'an—you do know him, right?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Xuan Wudao’s mind. Had Chen Chang'an tricked him?
"Know who?"
"Chen Chang'an?"
"I…"
"I think I do know him!"
"Chen as in ‘Chen,’ Chang as in ‘Chang,’ An as in ‘An’?" Xuan Tianyu stared intently.
"Dad, that’s just stating the obvious! ‘Chen’ as in the surname, ‘Chang’ as in ‘long,’ ‘An’ as in… wait, no, ‘An’ as in ‘safe.’"
"Is it the same guy? The one with the big yellow dog?" Xuan Wudao asked.
SLAP!
Xuan Tianyu’s palm struck the table with a thunderous crack, his excitement palpable.
"It’s him! It’s really him!"
"Chen Chang'an is your friend?!"
"The Chen Chang'an with the big yellow dog?!" His voice trembled as if his son had just died.
"You—why hit me when you’re excited?!"
Xuan Wudao clutched his stinging cheek, glaring at his father.
"You deserve it!"
Xuan Tianyu shot him a disdainful look, then scrutinized him from head to toe.
"Look at you—mediocre looks, average talent."
"Useless at everything, but a master at causing trouble. A complete waste."
"How the hell did Chen Chang'an end up being your friend?"
"What part of you is worthy of him?!"
"I just…"
It made no sense! No sense at all!
Xuan Tianyu considered himself far superior to his son. Back then, he’d begged Chen Chang'an to take him as a lackey, to no avail.
Yet this brat somehow became his friend?
What kind of absurd luck was this?!
"Dad, am I even your real son?"
"I’m not that worthless!" Xuan Wudao grumbled.
"On the ‘real son’ part, I can confirm."
"But if Chen Chang'an is involved, maybe our sect can survive this crisis."
"Quick—go find him!" Xuan Tianyu urged excitedly.
Find Chen Chang'an?
Where the hell was he supposed to look?
"Ahem, I do know him… but I have no idea where he is now." Xuan Wudao coughed awkwardly.
"Useless fool!"
"Watch me!" Xuan Tianyu declared coldly.
"Dad, you can find Chen Chang'an?"
"No!"
"Then why say it like it’s a sure thing?!"
"I’ll try my hardest!"
"…Impressive."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
