Dawn and Cassan arrived at Chen Miemie’s home.
There were still no cobwebs hanging in the hallway on the eighteenth floor. Chen Miemie had said he wanted the place well ventilated and didn’t want cobwebs getting blown everywhere.
They had not even entered the door of 1803 before Dawn and Cassan already felt a wave of pressure.
The enormous fish tank in the foyer was impossible to miss.
There were no fish inside. As the curtain of water parted, a pair of extraordinarily beautiful eyes looked out at them.
“Come in, come in. Oh, and this is Water Gaze,” Chen Miemie said warmly.
Dawn and Cassan came to their senses. After Cassan had expressed her desire to join that morning, they had already become provisional insiders.
As insiders, they were not visiting some ordinary house hidden away under the cover of [Mystery] today. They were about to see a strange new world with nothing concealed.
Water Gaze blinked. It had a cheerful personality and even took the initiative to greet them.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
Loop received them in the living room and brewed tea for the three of them.
“Hmm? This is excellent tea!” Dawn loved tea and could tell with one sip that this was no ordinary brew.
Chen Miemie nodded. “This is the [Heartless Teapot]. It contains an infinite supply of tea.”
This was Cassan’s first time visiting Chen Miemie’s home. She studied the furnishings in the living room.
“I didn’t expect you to be such an elegant person. You like drinking tea, and you like porcelain, too.”
“Haha. I do like porcelain, but I don’t actively collect it. All of these pieces belong to Qinghua.”
“Welcome, both of you.”
On the large porcelain vase beside the sofa, the Porcelain Beauty stepped out from the body of the vase.
Chen Miemie introduced them. “Qinghua is the organization’s chief secretary, and Loop is the housekeeper. You’ll probably be dealing with them quite often from now on.”
Cassan suddenly found the tea in her hands a little less fragrant. She knew the other party would not attack her, but the instinctive reaction of a living creature still made the hairs on her body stand on end.
“Would you like to look around?” Chen Miemie invited them.
Dawn and Cassan shook their heads at the same time.
They had only taken a few steps inside—there were only a few square meters of space—and one strange thing after another had already appeared. Who knew how many terrifying entities were lurking deeper inside the house?
They were very much creatures of instinct and decided that what they couldn’t see couldn’t frighten them.
Unfortunately, the strange entities were not content to leave them alone.
Cassan felt something grow slightly heavier on her shoulder. When she turned her head, she saw a palm-sized fairy perched there.
“Hello, I’m Daidai~”
Something bumped into Dawn’s lower leg. She looked down to see a black vortex of air rolling to a stop beside her foot.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up and pick up the great Black Hole!”
Before Dawn could react, Qinghua came over and scooped Black Hole up.
“Sorry. It’s a little mischievous, but it means no harm. It probably just wants to play with you.”
Before Dawn could respond, a roasted chicken with a pineapple on its head came hopping over.
“Black Hole, Daidai, you two really don’t know how to behave. You shouldn’t disturb our guests. Why can’t you learn from me? Wait until they’re done talking, then invite them to a grand feast.”
Cassan had finally encountered something she recognized. She quickly asked, “Is this the roasted chicken we eat all the time?”
Chen Miemie nodded. “That’s the one.”
Bobo leaned toward the teacups in front of Dawn and Cassan.
“I, Bobo, approve of you two. Every time you eat me, the smiles on your faces prove how much you enjoy my flavor.”
Chen Miemie’s expression darkened.
“Qinghua, don’t let them cause trouble.”
Qinghua grabbed Bobo and Black Hole, one in each hand, and carried them away.
Dawn felt as though she were sitting on pins and needles.
“Chen Miemie, let’s get started. Ventilate your rooms right now.”
“All right.”
Dawn stood at the entrance of 1803 with both arms spread wide. Her hair began to move despite the absence of wind.
“Winds rise—Atmospheric Circulation!”
At her soft cry, a gale swept through the entire eighteenth floor, whipping Chen Miemie’s clothes about.
All the doors to the rooms and cabinets had been opened, allowing the wind to surge into every corner.
Powerful currents raced through room after room, forcing the stale air out through the eyebrow-shaped windows.
For Dawn, who was [Mystery] 6, an outburst of this magnitude barely counted as a drain. She maintained the rapid circulation of air throughout the entire floor.
Twenty minutes later.
“Hey, hey, stop blowing! If you keep this up, I’m going to get blown apart!” a crisp voice called from inside the wardrobe.
A transparent mass of air drifted out through the crack in the wardrobe. Once outside, it took on a faint blue tint in the sunlight.
“Hmph. You finally came out?”
The mass of air struggled to steady its form in the gale.
“You’re so mean! This is my home, yet you’re trying to drive me out—or even destroy me!”
Chen Miemie had no interest in arguing.
“Enough talk. Take it down.”
The water in the fish tank seemed to come alive. It automatically formed a box of water around [Formaldehyde], trapping it inside.
“Wait! Let’s make peace. I only need a small corner. Don’t drive me away!” [Formaldehyde] shouted.
Chen Miemie gave a cold snort.
“You only harm people. You’re useless to me.”
“I’m useful! I was born from formaldehyde, but even if you drive me away, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any formaldehyde in the house. Formaldehyde can continue evaporating from construction materials for years. I can help absorb it. And if any of the other buildings need to be renovated in the future, I can help there, too.”
Chen Miemie paused.
He considered the matter in silence. The new house had indeed been renovated recently and still carried a bit of an odor. In addition, the base of [The Moon Endures Forever] would also need to be renovated, and they would run into the same problem there. This [Formaldehyde] did seem as though it might be useful after all.
With that thought, his tone softened slightly.
“You can really do that?”
[Formaldehyde] hurriedly assured him, “That’s what I specialize in. And it’s not just formaldehyde—I can control some other harmful gases, too.”
“Other gases? Give me an example.”
“For instance, the irritating gas produced when the fuel burning on a kitchen stove doesn’t combust completely. If its concentration gets too high, it can poison people and kill them.”
Only then did Chen Miemie wave his hand.
The water surrounding [Formaldehyde] released its hold.
“I see you were born here, so I’ll give you a trial period. Purify the entire house today. Can you do it?”
“I can.” [Formaldehyde] answered immediately.
With the problem resolved, Chen Miemie prepared to keep his teacher and teacher’s wife for lunch. However, the two declined, saying they had something extremely urgent to attend to afterward. He expressed his deep regret.
He had barely had time to relax when he received another message.
Chen Miemie lowered his wristwatch.
“They’re here so soon? The witches arrived awfully fast.”
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)
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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?
