No way, officer!
An Yi still hadn't fully processed what had just happened. Feeling the lingering warmth on his lips, he asked in confusion, "Was that your first kiss?"
"Impossible!"
Hearing An Yi's question, Yan Zhi stiffened slightly before forcing a dismissive tone. "Pfft, little guy, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."
"Then drink more hot water—don't choke on it," An Yi retorted with the universal formula.
To be honest, the woman's kiss had been clumsy.
No doubt about it—it was her first.
But he didn’t dare say it out loud.
Yan Zhi faced the evening breeze and said seriously, "Don’t overthink it. It’s just a kiss. These days, kissing doesn’t necessarily mean liking someone. I’m sure you know that. It’s just—"
"I really don’t care," An Yi shrugged.
After all, he wasn’t the one at a disadvantage.
Yan Zhi snorted. "Good."
"When will Chi Xiao show up?"
An Yi’s gaze turned sharp as he asked.
"Patience. It shouldn’t be long now," Yan Zhi replied solemnly. "But there’s another problem—this ship isn’t just carrying Chi Xiao. I’ve already spotted people from other organizations."
An Yi took a sip of juice he’d somehow procured, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
He’d noticed them too.
"Hello, beautiful lady. Love at first sight—your beauty has captivated me. May I have this dance?"
Xu Chao suppressed his excitement, adopting an elegant posture as he spoke in fluent English.
Fortune hadn’t abandoned him!
Tonight, one stunning girl after another kept appearing.
His years studying abroad had given him a polished English accent, something he took great pride in.
He was confident his charm and wit would win over the blonde beauty before him.
Yes, this time his target was a foreign woman.
Her golden hair, delicate yet striking features—even by Daxia’s beauty standards, she was breathtaking.
A tight white lace dress hugged her curves, making her look like an angel straight out of Western mythology—pure and enchanting.
The girl offered an apologetic smile and replied in broken Daxia language, "Sorry, I don’t really understand what you’re saying."
Xu Chao’s face twitched. All that fluent English—wasted.
"Ahem. May I have this dance?" he coughed and asked again.
The blonde girl smiled sweetly. "Sure, but I have a boyfriend."
"Another one?!"
Xu Chao had a sinking feeling.
Then, the blonde girl dragged An Yi out from behind the crowd, where he’d been sipping his drink and enjoying the night view.
"Him! He’s the one!" she declared, clinging to An Yi’s arm.
Xu Chao was stunned.
He’d met scoundrels before, but never one this outrageous!
Three girls in one night?!
Including an international beauty?!
And each one a knockout?!
Xu Chao was furious. "You again?! Enough already!"
An Yi shrugged. "Honestly, I have no idea either!"
He was just as baffled about why this blonde had chosen him as her shield.
Truth be told, he’d been watching her for a while.
Not because she was pretty!
But because of that lace dress—ahem, because of the terrifying aura she carried.
She was no ordinary person.
If measured by Daxia’s martial arts standards, she was likely at the Void Realm!
"Darling, you’re here!"
The blonde girl suddenly leaned in, planting a light kiss on An Yi’s cheek with a sweet, delighted smile.
An Yi’s face went blank.
Ding! [Rogue Master] mission completed. No repeats allowed!
The system’s reminder chimed.
An Yi: "..."
Xu Chao, boiling with rage, turned and stormed off again.
"Screw this party! I’m out!"
"May I have this dance?" the blonde girl asked, extending her hand.
An Yi smiled. "With pleasure."
The ship’s grand hall filled with the elegant strains of live orchestral music, instantly elevating the atmosphere.
On the dance floor, An Yi held the blonde girl’s slender waist, moving to the rhythm—while stepping on her dainty feet.
"Sorry."
"Sorry."
After the fifth misstep, the blonde girl managed a strained smile. "It’s fine, darling. Take your time."
"Who are you, really?"
An Yi gripped her hand, his gaze intense as he studied her.
The blonde girl blinked playfully. "Katies!"
"That’s not what I meant," An Yi said flatly.
"Sky Knight Katies of the Templar Order!"
She announced her affiliation, pride flashing across her delicate features.
As the youngest Sky Knight in the Templar Order’s history, she had every right to be proud.
An Yi feigned surprise.
He’d never heard of it.
But he figured looking impressed would spare her feelings.
"You—strong. I—want to team up!"
Katies gave him a thumbs-up, mixing gestures with broken speech to get her point across.
"Not interested."
An Yi refused outright.
"The Hundred Ghosts want you dead. We can help you against them. They’re far stronger than you think," Katies said seriously.
An Yi nodded. "Welcome aboard."
Katies: "..."
As the performance ended, the spotlight shifted.
A slick, pudgy man in an ostentatious suit took the central stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is here. I’m sure this is why you’re all gathered tonight—"
The man hyped up the crowd, microphone in hand.
The audience erupted: "Quit stalling and get on with it!"
"Patience, folks. The show’s about to start!"
The man grinned, his blue eyes glinting with an almost inhuman light.
Then, a covered cart was wheeled out, draped in red cloth.
All eyes locked onto it.
"Rest assured, our merchandise is top quality," the man said, yanking off the cloth.
Inside the cage was a girl.
Or rather, a half-beast, half-human girl.
Cat ears, a tail—but otherwise entirely human in appearance.
Her sheer dress clung to her alluring figure, her wrists bound in cuffs—only amplifying the urge to protect her.
"Holy crap! A real catgirl?!"
"Those ears! So damn cute!"
The moment the cage was revealed, the entire hall erupted.
An Yi’s eyes narrowed.
A shapeshifting demon beast?!
This defied everything he knew.
The girl was only a Tier 2 demon beast!
In the Ancient Continent, only Tier 4 and above could assume human form!
"This, my friends, is tonight’s star attraction—starting at 100 million! Any takers?"
The man grinned.
Wealthy men loved the exotic, and a shapeshifting beast was irresistible to most.
At the edge of the hall, Red Poison’s gaze locked onto the cage—then spotted An Yi. A cold smile curled his lips. "Boss Butcher, look—it’s An Yi!"
Butcher, his face scarred from explosives, snapped his eyes open at the name, murderous intent blazing.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. 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. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
