The desolate borders of the Demon Realm.
Recently, Tian Chan had been feeling rather restless.
Whenever she meditated and cultivated, fragmented pieces of memory would intermittently surface in her divine sense, causing her great distress.
It must be known that she was a supreme Immortal Venerable. Yet, even when she used her immortal power to trace and deduce their origins, she could not uncover anything concrete.
"Heh... it seems an inner demon has been born within me!"
Tian Chan smiled bitterly and looked at her heavily scarred Dao heart, which was even seeping with evil energy. But so what?
Even if an inner demon had been planted in her Dao heart, she would not fall into darkness. The origin of the Righteous Path was in her hands; in the name of righteousness, she could suppress and slay all evils!
[Junior Sister Yunya, once I eradicate this evil spirit calamity, I will heal your wounds...]
But right at this moment, a figure walked into her tent.
Dressed in a spotless green robe, her long hair tied up, and a tassel hanging from her waist, she wore a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were completely different from their previous dull and lifeless state.
"Junior Sister Yunya... what is this?"
Seeing Yunya, Tian Chan's eyes widened in surprise. Why didn't Junior Sister Yunya look like she was in agonizing despair anymore?
"It is nothing, Senior Sister Tian Chan... I have already figured things out."
Yunya's thin lips carried a smile, her bright eyes and white teeth making her smile feel like a refreshing breeze. Tian Chan had not seen such a smile on Junior Sister Yunya's face for tens of thousands of years.
In her memory, the last time Yunya smiled so genuinely... was when they were the peerless twin geniuses of the Heavenly Dao Palace!
Back then... she presented herself as a male and was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Heavenly Dao Palace, while Junior Sister Yunya was the Second Senior Sister. Together, they suppressed all the prodigies of their era.
But she didn't know when... the bright smile on Junior Sister Yunya's face disappeared, and she gradually became quiet and withdrawn.
In truth, she knew very well that she definitely had feelings for Junior Sister Yunya, which could even be called love. Although same-sex romance among women was popular in the Nine Heavens, she was the leader of the Righteous Path. How could she possibly do such a thing?
In this life, Tian Chan had a clear conscience towards everyone, except for Junior Sister Yunya, whom she had let down.
"Figured out what?" Tian Chan asked softly.
"Come on, Senior Sister Tian Chan! I have thought it through during this time," Yunya smiled charmingly. "Although I was forced by Mr. Jiang at first, it seems I have gradually fallen in love with him now."
Tian Chan's mind trembled. She looked at Yunya; the smile in Yunya's eyes could not be faked. She truly looked very happy now.
"Hehe, look, Senior Sister. This is a gift Mr. Jiang gave me to celebrate our one-month anniversary of meeting each other!"
Yunya took out the immortal zither 'Nirvana Calamity Sound' and started showing it off.
Tian Chan was shocked. A half-step Dao artifact!
It must be known... she only had two half-step Dao artifacts in her possession. One was the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, and the other was the Nine-Tier Demon Suppression Pagoda. Relying on these two half-step Dao artifacts and the Great Dao origin, she could fight above her realm and slay an Immortal Emperor!
"A gift for... knowing each other for a month?" Tian Chan was completely stunned.
Giving away a half-step Dao artifact after just one month of knowing each other?
"Then... then I wish you happiness," Tian Chan managed to say with difficulty, though her tone sounded a bit lost and desolate.
Yunya continued, "Senior Sister Tian Chan, I have thought about it over and over again these past few days and realized that the one I love is not you... but the idealized white moonlight in my heart from my childhood. She will not change with the passage of time, nor will she be polluted by the secular world..."
"What I love... is an obsession!"
"But now, I have let it go."
Yunya said. All the words she spoke were taught to her by Jiang Che. It had to be said... the lethal power of these words was indeed formidable; it was like stabbing knives directly into Tian Chan's heart.
[But I cannot let it go!!!]
Tian Chan screamed in her heart, but it was useless. She tried her best but could not speak a word, only lowering her head in defeat.
"That... that is quite good then. At least... at least you have gained the favor of Mr. Jiang, and he gave you a half-step Dao artifact... It seems Mr. Jiang is a responsible man."
Tian Chan could not even manage her facial expressions anymore.
She regretted it!
At this moment, Yunya accurately caught Tian Chan's feeling of loss, and the twisted pleasure in her heart was beyond words.
[Ding! The host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
Yunya was truly exhilarated. She was now thoroughly enjoying the sight of Senior Sister Tian Chan's regret. Although her heart also ached for her... it was a mix of pain and pleasure.
Husband was indeed right. Senior Sister Tian Chan... also loved her deeply!
This realization made Yunya's mood exceptionally joyful.
It was a pity that... with her tainted body, she could no longer touch Senior Sister Tian Chan. Thus, she could only drag her down from the altar and watch her step by step fall into ruin.
It had to be said, Jiang Che really had a way of handling yanderes.
With Jiang Che's assistance, both Yunya and Tian Chan were stepping onto the path of corruption, while Mr. Jiang alone reaped the benefits from both sides.
"Junior... Junior Sister, for what reason... have you come this time?" Tian Chan asked in a hoarse voice.
"Senior Sister, these are the Life Extension Pills I earned. I did not want my relationship with my husband to be purely transactional, so I slacked off a bit... and only earned 10 Life Extension Pills."
Yunya handed over the jade bottle in her hand, which contained a pitiful ten Life Extension Pills.
[Ding! The host has scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]
Hus... she was even calling him husband now?
Tian Chan's heart had shattered into pieces. Regretting and chasing one's wife to the crematorium... there was no chasing part, only the crematorium!
Faintly, Tian Chan felt that Junior Sister Yunya was drifting further and further away from her.
Previously, Yunya would bring back hundreds of Life Extension Pills every time, but now there were only ten. Obviously... her heart was no longer with her; she had her own beloved.
Like a leaky warm coat, it was ten pills now, and in the future, there might not even be one. Eventually... Junior Sister Yunya would very likely grow sick of her.
A sense of desolation filled her heart!
"Oh right, I am preparing to kill enemies on the Demon Realm battlefield. I do not want to be just a pretty vase in my husband's eyes!"
Yunya's smile was incredibly piercing in Tian Chan's eyes at this moment.
Where Tian Chan could not see, a morbid expression leaked onto Yunya's face. With Senior Sister Tian Chan's Dao heart that upheld the righteous path, once she learned the truth of the matters Jiang Che had paved the way for, her mentality would inevitably collapse, and she would completely fall into depravity.
When that time came... she could drag the high and mighty Senior Sister Tian Chan down to sink together with her.
Her husband had prepared everything. By altering fate and memories, he had forcibly integrated some painful twists into Tian Chan's destiny. She would slowly experience strange memory fragments, gradually remembering bits and pieces. Meanwhile, Yunya had to go to the Demon Realm battlefield to seek death just as Tian Chan fully recovered her memories, and she even had to leave behind a suicide note!
This also included the many 'little surprises' hidden in her own bedchambers within the Heavenly Dao Palace, such as love letters written to Senior Sister Tian Chan, and a giant wind chime made of one hundred million paper cranes woven by hand.
As long as I die in combat on the Demon Realm battlefield, Jiang Che will set the gears of fate in motion on his end, allowing Tian Chan to instantly recover a vast amount of 'memories'.
As for what happens after that... hehe!

So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)

lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...

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?

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
