The invitation had come rather suddenly, and the Mian sisters were completely unprepared.
Amber quickly regained her composure. The corners of her lips curled up as she gave Mian Ruyan a gentle shove. “An old classmate is offering you a helping hand. Aren’t you going to thank him?”
Mian Ruyan stared blankly. “I’m doing perfectly well as the Mian family’s eldest daughter. Why would I run off somewhere else?”
After extending the invitation, Chen Miemie said no more. “Think it over carefully. You can also go home and discuss it with your family. Give me an answer by tomorrow.”
They had already spent quite a bit of time on the road, and Chen Miemie did not want to delay any longer. He pointed at the empty space ahead with one finger.
A spatial wormhole appeared, and he stepped into it first.
“Amber, let’s go. We’re heading outside the city to meet the people who came for you.”
Amber followed him in. The wormhole immediately closed behind them and vanished.
Mian Ruyan: …
“Chen Miemie can even use spatial abilities!”
At the gates of Six-Elephant City, Chen Miemie and Amber appeared out of thin air.
The witches of the Candle Shadow Trading House were worthy of being combat-oriented members. They immediately went on alert, lowering their weapons only after recognizing Chen Miemie.
Chen Miemie did not interfere with the arrangements for these people. He merely explained the situation regarding their affiliation with the society. When no one raised any objections, he handed the approval documents to Amber, leaving her to oversee everything that followed.
How Amber won over this group of witches was her business.
Chen Miemie did not want to involve himself in forces that belonged to Amber. Unfortunately, he had forgotten that while affiliation might be somewhat vague, in the human world it represented “status.” In name, these forces had already become forces under his command.
That afternoon, Chen Miemie paid a visit to the Fat Orange Hotel.
Baibai and Yarn Ball were delighted to see him, and they were even happier when they received the little meteorite gifts he had brought.
Yarn Ball received a tiny bell that could be hung around a cat’s neck, while Baibai received a brooch that could be pinned to the pocket of a formal suit.
As for the Fat Orange Hotel’s income, Chen Miemie said it could remain in the accounts for now. He had obtained an enormous sum of money from the Everlasting Like the Moon Merchant Association at the Moon Library, and he did not have many expenses of his own. At present, he was no longer interested in wealth.
After eating a meal of “cat food” at the hotel, dusk descended.
Tonight was Frostmoon.
As was customary, the Frostmoon gathering of the Silvermoon Court would begin at eight o’clock that evening.
Chen Miemie was very enthusiastic. He arrived at 7:45.
Yet despite arriving fifteen minutes early, he was still the last one there.
“Everyone looks like they’re in good spirits. I came back today to reclaim what belongs to me.” Chen Miemie announced this the moment he entered.
Leng Ruxue was deeply wounded. Knowing that Chen Miemie had returned and would be attending the meeting, he had even prepared two top-tier terrible jokes. But Chen Miemie had not given him the chance to deliver an opening line.
The Silvermoon Court’s Eighth Seat, the Heartstrings Musician Fei Dongsheng, naturally picked up the conversation. “Chen Miemie, what are you planning to reclaim?”
Chen Miemie swaggered over to the society president, Fina. “The world has suffered under the tyranny of that Rubik’s Cube Head for far too long. Today, I, Chen Miemie, will challenge you once again!”
Fina looked Chen Miemie up and down. “Fine. But you’re not allowed to use outside help.”
Chen Miemie was shocked. “Don’t slander me! Whenever I fight, I’ve always been perfectly upright and honorable. I rely only on my own strength.”
Everyone present gave him the same disdainful look.
Even his master’s wife, Cassan, who was especially fond of him, covered her face with one hand, unable to bear watching.
Leng Ruxue mercilessly exposed him.
“Chen Miemie, stop pretending.
“Before, we didn’t know anything about your background. We even wondered why your level of mystery wasn’t very high, yet your [Immortality] was so absurdly powerful. You possessed multiple abilities and had even managed to ambush the [Burial City Shroud], a [Mystery] 6.
“But now, who doesn’t know that you carry an Anomaly around with you? All your techniques are abilities borrowed from Anomalies.”
Chen Miemie refused to accept this. “That’s my ability! Why shouldn’t a mystic be allowed to use mystical items and weapons in battle? If you’re so capable, go find an Anomaly to help you.”
“No, no, no. That’s completely against the rules. I want to overthrow Fina too, but doing it like this definitely won’t do.”
Chen Miemie’s cheating was met with unanimous disdain from the crowd.
“Fine, then. I’ll only use my own abilities. And my [Immortality] is mine as well. That Anomaly can’t provide it.”
“Your own abilities? You can’t even hurt President Fina.” Leng Ruxue snorted.
Chen Miemie was displeased. “Who says I can’t hurt her? That Rubik’s Cube Head is [Mystery] 5, and so am I. Why wouldn’t I be able to?”
“You’re [Mystery] 5?!”
A collective gasp rang through the room.
Because of Chen Miemie’s abnormal nature, it was generally impossible to tell how strong he was without seeing him fight. In the eyes of most members of the Silvermoon Court, Chen Miemie’s personal strength was still only at the level of someone who had just acquired a title.
That alone was already considered astonishingly fast. After all, Chen Miemie had graduated less than half a year ago.
Amid the cries of surprise, the loudest voice came from Chen Miemie’s partner, Painter Xi.
“Chen Miemie! You’re [Mystery] 5 already? What kind of miracle drug did you take?” Xi leaped straight up from her little moon, practically itching to cut Chen Miemie into pieces and study him.
Chen Miemie was very pleased with himself. “Stay calm, stay calm. It was nothing out of the ordinary. In a few more months, you might have to address me as ‘Great Sage Mie Mie.’”
Jealousy twisted Leng Ruxue’s face beyond recognition. “This child is far too dangerous. I suggest we eliminate him while he’s still in his infancy, before he has a chance to fully mature.”
Chen Miemie shot him a glance. “What are you so worried about? Once I become president, you’ll still be vice president. When I’m away, you can enjoy being acting president for a while.”
Leng Ruxue changed his attitude at once. “I firmly support President Chen Miemie’s leadership! I swear to protect the president with my life. Anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my corpse first.”
Fina’s Rubik’s Cube rotated. “Then let’s begin.”
Everyone retreated, clearing a space for the two of them.
After only a few exchanges, Chen Miemie knew that he could not win using only his [Moonlight] and [Moon Womb Transformation Scroll].
Fina was able to lead the Silvermoon Court in running rampant throughout Six-Elephant City because she possessed overwhelming strength.
To this day, her battle record against opponents at [Mystery] 5 stood at twenty-nine victories and zero defeats. No [Mystery] 4 opponent had ever managed to overcome her while fighting above their level. Even in her three encounters with [Mystery] 6 opponents, she had achieved three draws and zero losses, retreating unscathed each time.
It was an astonishing record. If the mysterious world were not so fond of keeping things hidden, she would have long since been given the title of “Invincible at Her Level.”
Chen Miemie’s Moonlight threads primarily relied on stillness to overcome movement. But Fina barely moved at all when she fought. She appeared to simply stand in place, rotating her Rubik’s Cube Head, while more than a dozen inexplicable attacks crashed down on her opponent in a single wave. Some of them were so strange that no one could even tell how they had appeared.
After fighting for quite some time, the result was the same as last time.
Chen Miemie’s challenge ended in failure.
Chen Miemie issued a threat. “Hmph. I’ll let you keep the president’s seat for a couple more days. I’ll be back.”
Once the farce was over, Fina asked about the real matter at hand.
“Chen Miemie, do you truly intend to inherit the Silvermoon Court society?”
Everyone turned to look at Chen Miemie.
No matter what city they were in, all mystics followed one principle: they could join only one society.
Technically speaking, Chen Miemie had already violated this rule by belonging to both the [Silver Moon Court] and [Everlasting Moon].
The reason no one had objected was that, in the eyes of human mystics, [Everlasting Moon] was not a society in the conventional sense, but the entire faction of the new race.
From that perspective, [Everlasting Moon] was not a society in the usual meaning of the word, and Chen Miemie had not truly violated the rule.
However, if Chen Miemie really took over the [Silver Moon Court] while also standing with the new anomalies, it would have a major impact on everyone in the [Silver Moon Court]. They would have to decide whether to follow their new leader and join the new race.
That was a choice each of them had the right to make.
Faced with this formal question, Chen Miemie's answer was equally solemn.
“Yes. However, the [Silver Moon Court] will remain the [Silver Moon Court]. Even if I become its president, it will not be incorporated into [Everlasting Moon]. The two will be very close, but they will remain relatively independent. This is Frost Moon's society. The Three Moons are one family, and Eternal Moon will only provide assistance, never absorb it.”
Fina's expression was grave. “We will take what you say tonight seriously.”
Standing in the center of the group, Chen Miemie used an ability he had never once employed during the battle.
A pair of moonlight wings sprouted from his back, lifting him slightly into the air.
A massive divine halo appeared behind his head.
It resembled a celestial orbit, with three moons slowly circling along it and casting wondrous light in three different colors.
Tonight was Frost Moon, and the white moon among the Three Moons shone with incomparable brilliance.
“My words at this moment are witnessed by the Three Moons in shared radiance and by their three lights. They cannot be shaken.”
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

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.
