The council meeting concluded, and numerous martial artists began leaving the venue.
An Yi pinched his chin, lost in thought.
"Don’t even think about provoking the Divine Hall. Their strength is far more terrifying than you imagine."
Master Yuanyi seemed to see right through An Yi’s mind. Smiling, he stood up, took his staff, and slowly walked away, leaving An Yi with a hunched figure.
A glimmer flashed in An Yi’s eyes before he let out a relaxed chuckle.
"Subduing Long Aoyun is indeed challenging, but that just makes it more interesting, doesn’t it?"
"You must be An Yi. Old Cheng raised a fine disciple."
A half-bald elder looked at An Yi with a smile.
Beside him, a spirited old man in a Tang suit remarked leisurely, "Old Cheng must be overjoyed. He hasn’t had many things go his way in this lifetime."
"Old Cheng?"
"Cheng Yuanfeng?!"
An Yi looked puzzled. Why was this suddenly about him?
"Besides, the one who became Cheng Yuanfeng’s disciple was that poker-faced guy!"
The other martial artists cast unfriendly glances at An Yi, though compared to earlier, their hostility was now better concealed.
"Not to mention An Yi and Lin Chen, ranked 19th and 25th on the Heavenly Ranking."
"Then there’s that unknown blind youth earlier, and the guy who stopped Cangshan Daoist like he was high on something. Both of them are firmly within the top 50 of the Heavenly Ranking!"
"As for Chen Bing, his true strength likely places him in the top 30!"
"And that kid with his arm in a sling? He’s also ranked in the 90s on the Heavenly Ranking."
"Six Heavenly Rank martial artists in one group. With that kind of power, they certainly have the right to swagger across the Great Xia."
Just then, a stunningly beautiful young Taoist nun came running over, lifting the hem of her robe.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Cangqiong Daoist stroked his beard with a smile.
"This girl, already grown up, yet still so clingy when she sees her master."
"An Yi!"
Xiao Xiao immediately threw her arms around An Yi, beaming. "Long time no see! I gave you my number—why haven’t you called me?"
The fragrant breeze and the warmth of her soft body were admittedly pleasant.
But An Yi wasn’t that kind of man.
This girl’s enthusiasm was a little too illogical—this was only their second meeting!
"Ahem, your master is right here."
An Yi put on a stern, righteous expression, as if completely above worldly desires.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao quickly let go of him and stuck out her tongue at Cangqiong Daoist. "Sorry, Master, I forgot you were here."
Cangqiong Daoist:
"A daughter grown is a daughter lost!"
"You brat, even my disciple—" Cangqiong Daoist’s face darkened with murderous intent.
This disciple had been raised by him—practically his own daughter.
He’d given An Yi her number, confident Xiao Xiao would never take a liking to this guy. Yet here she was, throwing herself at him!
"Uh, about that tiger yang..." An Yi coughed awkwardly.
Cangqiong Daoist’s expression softened into a smile. "Ahem, if even my disciple speaks so highly of you, you must be a man of exceptional character."
Zhang Qianyu, who had followed behind, gaped in disbelief. "Uncle Master, he just hugged your disciple! And you’re not even going to do anything?!"
"Zhang Qianyu!"
An Yi grinned at the guy.
"Trying to screw me over? You’re dead."
"Let’s go."
Cangqiong Daoist said coldly.
Xiao Xiao left with the rest of the Dao Alliance, but before she went, she waved and secretly mimed a phone call to An Yi.
An Yi smiled, watching them leave.
"Boss, long time no see."
Xiao Yike walked over, scratching his head shyly.
Han Liang followed, bowing slightly. "Boss."
An Yi raised an eyebrow. Who was this guy again?
He looked familiar, but An Yi couldn’t recall his name.
"Me, it's Han Liang! Back at the Qin family villa, you even stepped on my head! The Third Elder was crippled by you and is still bedridden. Boss, do you remember me now?"
Han Liang noticed An Yi seemed to have forgotten him and quickly introduced himself, staring at him eagerly.
In the Blood Fiend Sect, he had always been at odds with his father.
His father was even planning to strip him of his heir position!
But who would’ve thought that the cheap boss he’d sworn allegiance to, An Yi, had turned the Asura Gate into the fifth most powerful faction in Great Xia!
Because of this, he had finally gained some respect these days.
All he had to do was puff out his chest and lie down in front of the Blood Fiend Sect’s gates, and everyone would know he was flaunting his connection to the Asura Gate.
An Yi rubbed his chin. "Hmm, I think I remember something like that."
Han Liang exhaled in relief.
"Can I join the Asura Gate too?"
Mo Jiu stepped forward, looking at An Yi solemnly.
Ding! [Shadow Axe] Mo Jiu requests to join the Asura Gate!
An Yi raised an eyebrow, studying the tall, lean Mo Jiu with a thoughtful expression.
They weren’t exactly close, were they?
But in terms of strength, this guy was no joke—after emerging from the secret realm, he had already reached the Void Realm, ranking 51st on the Heavenly Leaderboard!
"Since the Ten Thousand Demon Cave has become a vassal of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, you still dare to join the Asura Gate?"
Lin Chen, being pushed in a wheelchair by Xiao Ye, slowly approached as he spoke to Mo Jiu.
"Precisely because the Asura Gate opposes the Hundred Ghosts Sect, I choose to join."
Mo Jiu’s voice was gruff, his eyes burning with determination.
He wanted revenge.
"Interesting. Boss, how about an initiation test? Let him defeat me first."
Xiao Yike’s bloodlust surged as he grinned fiercely.
"You’ll die," An Yi said flatly.
Xiao Yike: "..."
"Fine, let him join. One more won’t hurt."
An Yi waved dismissively. "Just remember to call me ‘Boss’ from now on."
"Yes… Boss." Mo Jiu replied awkwardly.
Lin Chen’s brow furrowed briefly before relaxing, as if he had figured something out.
An Yi yawned and asked, "Where’s Chen Bing?"
"That guy’s elusive. Barely ever seen, yet somehow everywhere at once."
Lin Chen replied coolly, "Probably at the Tang family."
---
West Coast, a mysterious island.
The azure sky stretched above, dotted with a few drifting seagulls. A gentle breeze swept across the pristine golden sand before settling on the jagged reefs.
A blood-curdling scream suddenly pierced the air—
Then, silence.
In front of the grand, palace-like villa on the island, two black lions gnawed at the fresh corpses of fallen warriors, their emerald eyes gleaming with greed.
"Eat up, my children."
A handsome blond young man sipped red wine, his lips curling into a smile.
"Lord Shaliel, what refined taste you have."
The villa doors swung open as a middle-aged man strode in, speaking in English.
"Oh! My heavens, look who it is—Nie, my dear friend!"
Shaliel smiled, though a trace of wariness flickered beneath his charm.
Even a man as cruel as him couldn’t help but feel a chill in this one’s presence.
Boss Nie approached leisurely, smiling. "I’ve come to discuss a business collaboration with Lord Shaliel."
"Oh? And what’s in it for me?" Shaliel asked lazily.
He preferred to talk benefits first—otherwise, he had no interest.
Boss Nie chuckled. "The destruction of the Underworld. Would that be enough?"
Instantly, Shaliel’s expression turned grave.
] 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.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
