I'm so pissed.
Seriously about to faint from anger.
Su Muwan was just following Qin Luo's arrangements, happily munching on chips and watching the show from the sofa in the reception room.
She was all set to take the stage for her performance.
But... what happened instead?
The more she listened, the angrier she got. The more she listened, the more speechless she became. The more she listened, the more her whole body trembled.
Her fists clenched—hard. Like, seriously hard this time.
Su Muwan tightened her fists, shaking with rage.
What the hell is with all this "poisonous witch" left and right?!
And more importantly!
Why is everything being blamed on me?! It wasn’t even my fault!
This was all Qin Luo’s doing!
But—but why does everyone think I’m the one threatening Qin Luo?!
Ugh! So mad I could faint!
Can anyone even relate?!
I was supposed to spend today at home playing video games!
Su Muwan was bitter inside, but she refused to say it out loud. She just planned to go home and give Qin Luo a proper "lesson" later.
Qin Luo coughed lightly, sensing trouble.
These idiots... They’re just asking for a beating.
The room fell dead silent.
All the sect leaders stared wide-eyed at the figure floating mid-air.
Her aura was thick with chilling malice, the words "villain" practically written on her face.
But the most striking thing was...
"Wh... white hair..."
"That face... that cold aura... that hair..."
The sect leaders' lips turned pale, their expressions stiff. "The Frostbite Demon!"
"It’s really her—the Frostbite Demon!"
The way Su Muwan looked right now?
She was the spitting image of the Frostbite Demon!!
"Frostbite Demon, my ass!"
Su Muwan swung her hand.
A tidal wave of freezing energy lashed out at the loudest protester.
"This is my Frost Mode!!"
BOOM!!
The Heavenly Flame Sect Leader’s violet fire whip, still mid-swing, instantly turned into an ice sculpture.
He watched in horror as his breath formed the character for "death" in the air.
Even his True Spirit Realm protective flames couldn’t melt the frost on his eyelashes.
You’ve got to be kidding...
I... I got one-shotted?
"Su... Su Muwan..."
"There must be some misunderstanding..."
Mo Yuan tried to speak, only to find his vocal cords frozen shut.
Never had he felt death so vividly.
They were wrong. All of them.
Even if this whole mess was her doing, what did it matter now?
Her power was undeniable. Unless their ancestors stepped in, no one here could stop her.
The Frostbite Demon was alive—and had survived since the Profound Heaven Realm era tens of thousands of years ago!!
Not only that—
She’d disguised herself as a young mistress of a noble family.
And even worse—
She’d recruited Qin Luo to do all her dirty work!
And worst of all—
The sect leaders’ eyes twitched.
Why...
Why are you still hunting us down?!
You froze the entire Profound Heaven Realm back then, but now, even in this era of spiritual revival, tens of thousands of years later, you’re still after us?!
Forget it.
Might as well have been shadowified by Qin Luo like those minor sect leaders.
At least they got to serve under Qin Luo!
Su Muwan’s silver hair fluttered without wind. "Listen up, all of you!"
She raised a finger, furious. "First, I am NOT the Frostbite Demon!"
"Second, I didn’t force any of you!"
"Third, and most importantly..."
She scoffed. "You trash have no right to tell me what to do!!"
CRACK—!
The freezing energy surged, creeping into Feng Yutian and the others’ meridians.
Their faces paled as memories of the Frostbite Demon slaughtering the Seven Supreme Masters tens of thousands of years ago resurfaced.
Terrifying!
Chilling!
Invincible!
"So this is the Frostbite Demon..."
"Hey! I said I’m not her!"
Su Muwan was beyond done.
She floated back to Qin Luo’s side and glared. "You explain."
"Got it."
Qin Luo stepped forward, facing the frozen sect leaders. "Let me clarify once more."
"This was all my plan. Luring you here? My plan."
"Gurgle-gurgle—" (Dude, not the time for explanations—we’re freezing to death!)
"Miss."
"Hm?"
"They’re about to turn into ice-brained idiots."
"!!"
A moment later.
Feng Yutian and the others sat gasping for breath, staring at the master-servant pair before them.
"So... you just want us to do this?" they asked, baffled.
Qin Luo nodded. "Just this."
The sect leaders exchanged glances.
Seriously?
You beat us up first just for this?!
And wait—
You’ve already exposed yourselves as part of the Shadow Court.
Did you really think we’d willingly cooperate after that?
Each sect leader had their own thoughts.
After a silent exchange of glances, they came to a decision.
Once they got back, they’d definitely renegotiate their alliances.
But for now, they’d play along with Qin Luo’s demands.
And someday, they’d rescue Qin Luo from this poisonous witch’s clutches.
With that in mind,
The sect leaders took a deep breath—
And in unison, recited the words Qin Luo had instructed:
"We pledge eternal loyalty to Miss Su Muwan! ×72"
[Ding! Total Army Command effect activated! Unbreakable loyalty!]
Qin Luo smiled in satisfaction. "Good. First order: act like nothing happened and return to your sects."
"Then await further instructions."
Feng Yutian and the others nodded. "Understood, Master Qin."
But then,
They turned to the indifferent Su Muwan. "My Lady."
?
Why are we calling this poi—poi—... huh?
They froze, feeling like something strange had just happened.
"Tch."
Su Muwan rolled her eyes. These guys were really committed to the act.
"My Lady"?
Anyone would think they were actually her subordinates.
With the matter settled,
Feng Yutian and the others left.
Qin Luo finally relaxed.
Truthfully, he’d considered reasoning with them properly.
Explaining, "Hey, you’re all just characters in a book, and the world’s about to collapse. Divided, you’ll lose. United, you might stand a chance," and so on.
But—
That would’ve just led to endless skepticism and arguments.
Like:
—"Nonsense!" "Fearmongering!" "You insolent brat!" "The witch’s scheme!"
So,
Qin Luo smirked.
Sometimes, brute force was just faster.
Just as he thought that—
"Qin Luo~ You seem awfully pleased with yourself~"
Su Muwan’s eerie voice drifted over.
Qin Luo: ...
He turned to meet her "friendly" smile. "Miss, it’s not my fault. I told them, but they wouldn’t listen."
"Ha!"
Su Muwan grinned sweetly—then slammed her tiny fist into his chest. "I don’t care! I’m beating you up right now!"
BOOM!
"Ghk—!"
Yeah.
Maxing out his defense stat was definitely for moments like this.
n Our Village Many years later, Xiushui Village had transformed from a remote, impoverished hamlet into the renowned and flourishing Xiushui City of the Shifang Continent. All of this, solely because it was the birthplace of the Shifang Continent's number one sect—the Lingxian Sect. This is the story of a group of village youths, family, and friends, building a sect and growing together. Lin Xiao: As the sect master, my days are filled with countless tasks. Cultivating really gets in the way of building the sect. System: Received. Understood. Arranging it immediately. [Ding—Congratulations, Host, on successfully activating the Auto-Cultivation Function] Lin Xiao: Oh no, we're out of spirit stones. System: Received. Understood. Arranging it immediately. [Ding—Sect Mission issued. Mission Reward: Spirit Stones xN] No one loves their host more profoundly than this System!
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
