The Su family estate.
Qin Luo stood on the empty lawn.
Flocks of black crows perched on the treetops, curiously observing their surroundings.
"Caw?"
"Caw."
"Caw!"
Qin Luo silently chanted in his mind, "Activate the Lackey Skill Tree."
In the next moment,
A black panel appeared before him.
The panel exuded an ominous aura, with wisps of black smoke continuously seeping out from its edges.
On the panel, a twisted tree-shaped pattern was displayed, with each branch marked by different grayed-out skills.
Among them, five glowing dots flickered.
At the very top, it read:
[Containment Points: 3]
Qin Luo stared at the panel, deep in thought.
According to the system, this Lackey Skill Tree was his primary source of combat power.
It was divided into three distinct paths: the Shadow Arts Master path, the Netherworld Witch Doctor path, and the Night Shadow Assassin path!
Currently, he had invested points into the Shadow Arts Master path.
Essentially, he was a summoner.
On top of that, he had unlocked four skills.
[Shadow Creatures] [LV1], which summoned 100 "Black Chicken Bros."
[Shadow Contract], which allowed him to bind deceased creatures as his shadow servants.
[Shadow Annihilation], which could cause explosions of varying power based on the strength of the shadow creatures.
[Shadow Resurrection], which allowed him to revive shadow creatures by consuming spiritual energy.
Now, how should he use these three remaining Containment Points?
Qin Luo pondered for a moment, his gaze sharpening.
Should he boost his combat power?
No, no, with Su Muwan around, he only needed to play a supporting role!
So!
His eyes shifted to the Night Shadow Assassin path.
He silently chanted in his mind, "Add points to the doggo!"
In the next second,
A mysterious sensation washed over Qin Luo's heart. But that wasn't all.
He continued to allocate points to the branching skills under the Night Shadow Assassin path.
[Shadow Phasing: As the sun sets, you can actively phase your body, becoming untouchable by anyone.]
Perfect!
Although the condition was quite restrictive, it still provided him with a bit more self-preservation ability!
As for the last point...
While Qin Luo was still contemplating,
He suddenly noticed an unlit icon next to the three main profession paths.
[Shadow Domain]
[Status: Locked]
[Unlock Condition: Unlock all three professions. Current progress: 2/3]
Qin Luo realized, "So there's such a mechanic?"
Come to think of it, a domain?
Qin Luo recalled something similar to Su Muwan's Frost Domain.
Interesting.
Without hesitation, as he unlocked the third profession,
Qin Luo also gained access to the Shadow Domain.
The method of using it was simple.
He stood in the estate courtyard, looking up at the clear, cloudless sky.
With a slight raise of his hand and a glimmer of dark light in his eyes,
He softly uttered,
"Domain..."
"Activate!"
Hum—!
In an instant,
A chilling wind howled.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify as Qin Luo's whisper triggered a dramatic change in the atmosphere.
The light around him seemed to be absorbed into an invisible abyss, and the once-bright environment suddenly turned pitch black, as if they had entered another world.
The sun over Jiang City transformed into a black orb hanging in the sky.
A celestial phenomenon.
Within this Shadow Domain, the power of shadows was amplified infinitely.
"Caw! Caw!"
The crows' eyes turned a deeper crimson, and their bodies began to swell.
Qin Luo extended his palm, a surge of shadow energy pulsating in his hand.
His eyes glowed with an inky darkness.
He could sense and even detect every living being within this domain.
At this moment,
The residents of Jiang City rushed outside, holding up their phones.
"Whoa! What's going on? Why did it suddenly turn dark in broad daylight?"
"A solar eclipse??"
"No way! Look, the sun's turned black!"
"I know what's happening!!"
"What is it?"
"It's Monday!"
"And?"
"The sun got shot out!!"
"???"
Outside a clothing store.
"Are you satisfied, Young Lu?"
An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit led Lu Hongshen out of the store.
Beside him was a woman who was scrutinizing Lu Hongshen with a critical gaze.
She tugged at the old man's sleeve and whispered, "Grandpa, are you joking? This guy looks about my age. He might be a fraud!"
The old man frowned, "Xiaoyu, don't be rude. The martial arts this young man displayed are ancient techniques long lost to time."
"Plus, he was able to spot the flaws in your martial arts at a glance. He's truly exceptional!"
With that, the old man cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask where you learned your skills, young man?"
At this,
Lu Hongshen's expression turned haughty. He shook his head and replied in a calm tone, "My martial arts are entirely self-taught."
His tone was so confident that, if not for his youthful appearance, the old man might have believed him.
Seeing the old man's skeptical look, Lu Hongshen didn't bother to explain. He sneered.
What a joke.
He had cultivated for ten thousand years in the Xuantian Realm. In terms of age, he could be considered this old man's ancestor.
But,
Mortals were just mortals. Why should he waste his breath explaining to them?
Right now, his priority was to regain his strength as quickly as possible and then...
Stand at the pinnacle of this world!
According to the old man and the woman, this place was called Jiang City.
It was the territory of someone named Su Muwan.
They seemed to have ventured here for some other purpose.
Of course, even if they didn't say it, Lu Hongshen could guess.
He slightly sensed the disturbances in the area, and his eyes lit up with joy.
An ancient ruin... was about to emerge!
Excellent. When the time came, he would definitely enter the ruins to seek opportunities to restore his strength!
As for Su Muwan...
Hmph.
You'd better not provoke me, or else... I'll make you understand the gap between mortals and immortals!
He shook his head, his hands behind his back, and smirked disdainfully.
But suddenly,
His brows furrowed slightly as he looked up.
The sky had darkened.
The sun had dimmed.
The old man and the woman also looked up in surprise.
"Strange... the weather was fine just a moment ago."
"Grandpa, is this some kind of celestial phenomenon caused by the spiritual energy resurgence?"
"Perhaps..."
Spiritual energy resurgence?
Celestial phenomenon?
What a joke.
Lu Hongshen already knew what this was.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
This was...
A domain!
A Domain Realm?
Back when he had first crossed over to the Xuantian Realm, this world had already entered its age of spiritual decline.
Reaching the Domain Realm was nothing short of a fantasy.
But...
This domain... was extremely peculiar.
He felt as if he was being constantly monitored.
Whose domain was this?
Lu Hongshen thought for a moment, then shook his head again.
Hmph.
He had been in the Xuantian Realm for too long, subconsciously comparing the locals here to the prodigies of that world.
That's right.
Lu Hongshen's eyes filled with arrogance.
In this world, he was the strongest.
...
...
At the villa courtyard of the Su family.
Whoosh!
The domain dissipated.
Qin Luo recalled the scene he had just witnessed.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
Lu Hongshen, target locked.
At that moment,
"Ah! It's gone!"
Su Muwan hurriedly ran out with a camera in hand.
Qin Luo looked at her curiously, "What are you doing, Miss?"
Su Muwan pouted, holding up the camera, "I finally had a chance to take pictures of a solar eclipse for keepsakes, but it just vanished!"
??
Qin Luo chuckled and shook his head. He smiled mysteriously, "Miss, would you like to see the solar eclipse again?"
Su Muwan blinked, "Yes!"
"Then give me a kiss!"
Su Muwan laughed, "Qin Luo, why are you so bold today??"
Qin Luo: "?"
That day,
The flickering sun over Jiang City became a trending topic.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
