Yay, Qian Qian sister is my junior sister now.
Nannan said happily, raising her hand.
Murong Qinghong showed a doting expression and gently tapped her little head: Call me senior sister.
Shangguan Qianqian showed a light smile on the surface, but her heart was already somewhat flustered.
Taking a master was purely an act of desperation.
Why was she here, what was this woman's purpose in taking her as a disciple? All of this was unknown.
Without understanding the whole story, she had to be vigilant.
At this moment, in the sky.
A figure came flying through the air.
The arrival was an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard. After landing, he walked over slowly, holding a horsetail whisk.
Greetings, Palace Master!
The old Taoist priest stopped, bowed, and said respectfully.
This old Taoist priest was precisely Xu Kang, who had gone to the Wuxian Palace.
Murong Qinghong nodded slightly: Guardian Xu, you've come.
Palace Master...
Shangguan Qianqian, however, pretended to look surprised on the surface and said: Master, you... you are...
This venerable one is the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, Murong Qinghong!
Murong Qinghong said with a smile, nodding slightly.
Xu Kang looked at Shangguan Qianqian in surprise: Palace Master, this is...
Shangguan Qianqian, my disciple, and she will also be the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Palace!
Murong Qinghong said leisurely.
Xu Kang was greatly shocked and quickly said respectfully: Greetings, Holy Maiden!
Guardian Xu, please don't humble me like this... Shangguan Qianqian said politely with her words, but her heart was utterly indifferent.
The position of Holy Maiden was no good thing!
Why couldn't she get rid of this title!
Deep within the Tianluo Forest.
Lin Chen's face was smudged with dust, his clothes were tattered and covered in scratches, stained with patches of blood, clearly injured.
He didn't have An Yi's powerful self-healing ability.
The last time his injuries healed was because triggering the jade pendant tempered his physique, conveniently curing his wounds.
However, even so, with the spiritual energy from the jade pendant nourishing him, his recovery speed was still far superior to that of an ordinary martial artist.
At Lin Chen's feet lay a mess of dead demon beast corpses. Their deaths were gruesome, either sliced apart or with their skulls smashed, their foul blood flowing into a river.
Those demon beasts had been thoroughly frightened. Even though Lin Chen now looked utterly exhausted, they didn't dare approach.
Demon beasts' intelligence wasn't low.
Level four and five demon beasts already possessed intelligence comparable to humans.
Intruders would trigger their territorial instincts, leading to killing or driving them away.
But if this intruder was extremely powerful, even threatening their own safety, they would also wisely back down.
Of course, this backing down was all pretense.
What they were truly waiting for was the moment Lin Chen closed his eyes to rest.
Humans always need to rest, and that was the best time to attack.
But what these demon beasts didn't expect was...
This human hadn't slept for seven consecutive days!!!
Lin Chen wasn't like An Yi, who had Long Niu standing guard at night and a storage space. He could take out tents, air mattresses, barbecue grills, seasonings, and such, turning the Tianluo Forest into a vacation spot.
Lin Chen traveled light, carrying only a pair of Lieyun Guai (Splitting Cloud Tonfa).
However, as Cheng Yuanfeng's disciple, besides the Qi Control Art, Lin Chen had also learned another of Cheng Yuanfeng's secret techniques—the Spirit Concentration Art!
Lin Chen stood up, touched his head, looked at the black hair that fell into his palm, and frowned slightly.
Then, he paid it no more mind and followed the direction of the vegetation to look for a water source.
Here, the bushes were dense, and the grass and trees were lush. Finding water shouldn't be a problem.
Lin Chen waved his hand, a sharp gust of wind cutting through the thorns ahead. After walking for a day, a huge lake unfolded before his eyes.
The lake was vast. Under the refraction of the setting sun's light, it was a crimson red, quiet as a mirror, stretching as far as the eye could see.
In terms of area, this lake would rank among the top even in the secular world.
Lin Chen's gaze was alert. He fetched some water and drank a few mouthfuls, finally suppressing the fiery thirst in his throat.
Sensing the increasingly dense spiritual energy, Lin Chen was absolutely certain.
His direction seemed to be wrong!!
The further he went, the stronger the demon beasts became.
In the end, powerful level four demon beasts had reached the point of being everywhere.
However, around this lake, it was surprisingly quiet.
Those demon beasts that had been tailing him, waiting for him to rest, had also disappeared at some point.
Barring any accidents, he had already reached the central area of this forest.
This, this lake...
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Since arriving in the world of immortal sects, he had been plunged into constant slaughter.
The spiritual energy within his body seemed to have increased noticeably.
He possessed a jade pendant that could provide an infinite supply, so even in the spiritual energy-deficient secular world, it could continuously provide him with spiritual energy.
To put it bluntly, Lin Chen's body was equivalent to carrying a cave dwelling blessed spot with the highest concentration of spiritual energy!
Therefore, even being self-taught, he had now reached the late stage of Qi Refining!
Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes, manipulating the wind spiritual energy.
A wind current swept over the lake, as if he had already seen those places with his eyes.
Wind Spirit Perception!
This belonged to wind element spiritual arts, but it was a move Lin Chen had figured out on his own.
From above the lake.
One could clearly see.
Hidden within the entire lake was a black giant beast.
Lin Chen closed his eyes, wanting to continue perceiving.
That object... seemed like a dragon!
At this moment, within the lake, that giant dragon slowly opened its eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Chen's perception was interrupted. He opened his mouth, spat out blood, his body swayed, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his face pale and bloodless, his expression grave.
He had seen it, he had seen those terrifying eyes!
What was the origin of that dragon, and why was it sealed here!?
Hum!
The entire lake began to tremble. A towering black dragon surged out of the water.
Also a dragon, the massive dragon body of this black dragon was more than ten times the size of Long Aoxue's.
The black dragon shadow soared and danced, blotting out the sky and sun, as if it wanted to devour the stars rising at the horizon. Chains also bound its body, preventing it from breaking free from the confines of this lake.
Lin Chen was dumbfounded, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He gritted his teeth hard to maintain clarity of mind and break free from this feeling.
The black giant dragon stopped before Lin Chen, its amber eyes fixed on him, emitting an ancient voice: So it's you...
Qingyuan Pavilion.
So tired!
An Yi lay on the bed, muttering to himself drowsily.
Right now, he was on Shen Muxuan's bed.
Well... he was the one who shamelessly insisted on squeezing in.
Although Shen Muxuan wouldn't let him get handsy, being able to hold a beauty rated 9 by the system, even if he did nothing, satisfied him.
Having just won over her master, rushing to make a move on Shen Muxuan... even scumbag An Yi felt somewhat reluctant.
But tonight, An Yi felt like he was sleeping very restlessly, as if he couldn't breathe.
Logically, Shen Muxuan's bed shouldn't be this crowded...
Thinking this, An Yi's drowsy consciousness suddenly became much clearer.
It seemed... there was a soft, delicate body in his arms, and there was another one behind him...
The soft, tender body in his arms wasn't wearing clothes... hmm, he remembered Shen Muxuan was wearing a bellyband.
Hiss! Could it be...?
A master-disciple combo???
An Yi's mind buzzed, jolting awake abruptly.
He hurriedly opened his eyes, but what he saw were exquisite facial features, silver hair, and those purple eyes gazing at him.
Long Aoxue!!!!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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)
