“Is... is it over yet?”
The Oden Shop Owner timidly raised his hand.
“I’ve seen Douyin before. This is one of those cringy short skit videos, right?”
“Will I be in it?”
The group of Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist priests sat on the ground, their faces ashen.
Zhang Hu looked up at the owner, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Boss, you’re a good person, but our cultivation is completely gone. There’s no saving us now.”
“You should run...”
*Slap!!*
“Ugh—!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Luo swung his clawed hand again, saying, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Smile a little.”
Su Bailian: ?!!
Wait, what?! You tell him not to be pessimistic, and then you slap him?!
Su Muwan, look at Qin Luo! Do something about him!
“Senior Brother! Senior Brother!”
“Senior Brother, are you okay?!”
“This is too much.”
A junior sister raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Qin Luo, choking back sobs. “Why would someone as handsome as you collude with such evil spirits?!”
Hey, hey, when did I become an evil spirit?
And... why are you calling Qin Luo handsome? What does being handsome have to do with colluding with evil spirits?
Su Muwan stood to the side, feeling dizzy.
Every day, she woke up to a headache caused by these bizarre people.
“Senior Brother wakes up at 4 a.m. every day to cultivate and at 5 a.m. to fetch water and chop firewood...”
“All for the sake of the world’s people!”
“And you! I can sense the righteous aura within you, yet you stand side by side with these evil beings! How despicable!”
“That’s right! What Junior Sister said is correct! Even if we die, there are thousands of comrades behind us!”
“With them, evil will be eradicated!”
“Senior Brother, Junior Brother, let’s chant together: Eradicate the evil spirits!”
“Eradicate the evil spirits!”
“Eradicate the evil spirits!”
“Eradicate the evil spirits!”
*Slap, slap, slap, slap!!!*
Another round of slaps silenced everyone.
“Wuwuwu...”
Zhang Hu and the others covered their swollen cheeks, trembling as they looked at Qin Luo, Su Muwan, and Su Bailian, who was hiding behind them.
It’s over.
In front of them was a great evil spirit in human form, and behind them was a true cultivator aiding the wicked.
This... the world is about to descend into chaos.
Qin Luo flexed his fingers, dispersing the black claws, then turned to Su Muwan and asked, “Miss, what should we do with these people?”
The Taoist priests braced themselves for death: “...”
“How about we throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks, Miss?”
The priests’ faces turned pale: “!!”
You vicious woman!!!
They stared at Su Muwan in disbelief.
Before coming here, they had heard rumors.
This great evil spirit’s favorite pastime was torturing people until they were unrecognizable, then throwing them into the sea to feed the sharks!!!
It was said that the seabed was now a mountain of corpses, thick with blood and resentment!
Vicious woman! Vicious woman!!
Hearing this, Su Muwan’s lips twitched. She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. “Qin Luo... I’m not some villain, you know.”
She glanced at the group of pale-faced, terrified priests, whose eyes still held a glimmer of righteous determination.
With a sigh, she waved her hand and said, “Just let them go. Looking at them is exhausting.”
“!!”
Zhang Hu and the others were stunned.
They asked in disbelief, “You’re letting us go? Why?”
“What do you mean ‘why’?”
Su Muwan was confused.
I’m letting you go, and you’re not happy about it??
Zhang Hu nodded solemnly. “Shouldn’t you be extracting our souls to devour, turning our corpses into puppets, and then sending us back to Dragon Tiger Mountain to betray our fellow disciples from within?”
“Senior Brother... is that true? Is that how we’ll be treated?”
“There’s no other way. This is our fate. Those who fail are treated this way by evil spirits. I’ll go first and have my soul extracted. Don’t worry.”
“No... I don’t want to... I don’t want to become so hideous...”
“......”
Su Muwan took a deep breath and pushed Qin Luo forward.
She was afraid that if she kept talking to these idiots, she’d pass out from lack of oxygen and fall into Qin Luo’s arms.
“Qin Luo, you talk to them.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Qin Luo nodded, then turned to the trembling Zhang Hu and the others.
Activating his natural charisma, he gave them a friendly smile and said, “Fellow cultivators, you’ve come a long way. You must be tired.”
“How about we move to a different place and have a proper chat?”
.......
........
At Shangguan Chuxue’s residence.
“Talking with you, Suan Tianxing, has been truly enlightening.”
“The last time you came to Wang City was a year ago.”
Shangguan Chuxue smiled as she led Suan Tianxing on a leisurely stroll through her garden.
Shui Yue followed at a distance, acting as their bodyguard.
She curiously observed the new Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master, Suan Tianxing.
She found it strange.
This Heavenly Master... why did he look so haggard?
And...
She glanced at the group of priests nearby, who looked like they were on vacation, laughing brightly and acting naively.
The master said they were the key to dealing with Su Muwan. Could these people really be of any use?
Suan Tianxing, on the other hand, wore a bitter smile. “Shangguan, we’re old friends. No need to be so formal.”
“Also, you said Su Muwan is your enemy. Why is that?”
Suan Tianxing and Shangguan Chuxue had met by chance.
That year, he was undergoing a mortal trial and happened to see a plea for help online.
Someone claimed strange things were happening around them.
When he arrived, he discovered an evil spirit causing havoc in the residence.
Over time, he and Shangguan Chuxue became friends.
Shangguan Chuxue sighed, her expression troubled. “My dear sister Shangguan Xiao is about to marry Long Jiuxiao.”
“But Su Muwan has been causing trouble for them at every turn.”
“I didn’t understand it before, but now I know... she’s the incarnation of an evil spirit.”
As she spoke, she plucked a vibrant flower and twirled it idly between her fingers. “If the other families find out, Su Muwan will undoubtedly become public enemy number one.”
Hearing this, Suan Tianxing’s expression shifted. “Yes, exactly!”
“Even with a hundred Dragon Tiger Mountain priests, I’m not confident we can take on Su Muwan!”
“But what if the entire city joins forces?!”
“With everyone united, even a great evil spirit can’t withstand the power of human conviction!”
“Shangguan, I’ll take my leave now. I need to report this to my master!”
With that, Suan Tianxing quickly called for the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples and left.
Shangguan Chuxue watched their retreating figures with a smile.
Then, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Fools, that’s exactly what I had planned.
Unfortunately, the evil spirit’s aura has dissipated, and I’ve lost contact with my master. Something must have happened.
But the arrow is already on the bowstring.
The Dragon Tiger Mountain priests have arrived, and the major families of Wang City have already paid a portion of their assets under Su Muwan’s threats.
Of course, they only paid because of Qin Luo’s medical skills.
Not because of Su Muwan.
So...
A glint of amusement appeared in Shangguan Chuxue’s eyes.
Su Muwan, you should feel honored to have the entire city united against you.
And Qin Luo, what will you do when the time comes?
Shangguan Chuxue never believed in absolute loyalty.
Even someone like Qin Luo, who seemed utterly devoted, would reveal their true colors in extreme situations.
I can’t wait to see Su Muwan isolated and helpless.
And these priests...
Shangguan Chuxue chuckled softly. So pure and so foolish.
They believed everything I said with just a few words.
I have the perfect timing, location, and people on my side.
Everything is ready. The plan will begin on the day of the wedding.
Hehe...
Su Muwan, you’ll regret sending your lackey to provoke me!
Just thinking about that day, when Qin Luo flipped her off on the surveillance footage and mocked her verbally...
Heh, heh, heh!!
Shangguan Chuxue’s eyes darkened. When the time comes, I’ll turn you into my male puppet!
To be toyed with for eternity!!!

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart?

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
