"An! Come out here right now!"
"What do you want? Are you trying to start a rebellion?"
"I had you guard the Luo family. Where were you last night when the Deity Cult attacked?"
"In the middle of the night, of course I was sleeping!"
"Bastard! Give me back my indenture contract!"
"You've got to be kidding. How could I return something that has already fallen into my hands..."
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of punches and kicks rang out.
Terrifying blue flames swirled up, and scattered sparks flew about, emitting an intimidating glow.
Soon after, Ye Tian was thrown out, his face bruised and swollen.
"This is too much!"
Ye Tian wiped a streak of blood from his nose and climbed to his feet, filled with righteous indignation.
They had originally agreed that he would trade fifty years of his life to have this bastard guard the Luo family.
But this guy was actually sleeping last night!
An Yi flicked his finger to extinguish the blue flame on his arm and walked out the door. "You crossed the line. I am your master! Don't let it happen again!"
"Bastard..." Ye Tian gritted his teeth.
Seeing the furious Ye Tian, An Yi coughed lightly.
"Since it's come to this, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I was secretly protecting Uncle Luo last night. The reason I didn't show up was to wait for you to come to the rescue..."
"Bullshit. An, I'm not done with you."
Ye Tian grabbed his halberd, preparing to charge forward again.
At this moment, the door slammed shut and was locked.
"Let this kid cool down first."
An Yi said calmly.
He picked up the book on the table again and started reading while yawning.
There were too few things to do for fun in this world. Being a slacker, he didn't even know what to do.
Feeling a ticklish breath on his neck, An Yi couldn't help but turn his head, only to find Long Aoxue.
A flawlessly beautiful face was right in front of him.
She stared at the pages with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Why is that Bing bullying the landlady?"
Hearing this, An Yi hastily closed the book and asked in disbelief, "You can read?"
"A little bit."
Long Aoxue nodded seriously and gestured with her fingers.
An Yi: "..."
"Did you hear me? Give me back my contract!"
Outside the door, Ye Tian slapped the door, feeling like his lungs were going to explode from anger.
He had been played by this bastard!
"Ye Tian!"
A light, girlish voice rang out at the courtyard entrance.
Hearing this, Ye Tian glanced over and noticed Xue Jia's graceful silhouette appearing at the gate.
"Jiajia."
A smile appeared on Ye Tian's face. He walked over with his halberd: "Why are you here?"
Xue Jia looked at Ye Tian and gave him a reproachful look: "How did you get yourself hurt again!"
"It's nothing. I accidentally fell," Ye Tian said perfunctorily with a laugh.
Xue Jia's eyes turned cold, and she gritted her teeth: "Was it Pockmark Wang? Watch me teach him a lesson this time!"
Ye Tian said, "How could a mere servant possibly hurt me?"
"Then was it An Yi?" Xue Jia stared at him and asked.
Ye Tian: "..."
Is women's intuition always this accurate!
"What was that about the indenture contract you were yelling about just now?" Xue Jia frowned and asked him suspiciously.
"You misheard me?"
Ye Tian quickly changed the subject, "Why did you come today? Isn't the auction house busy?"
Xue Jia shook her head, raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and revealed a smile: "I have some good news for you today."
"What good news?" Ye Tian was also a little curious.
Xue Jia said proudly, "I'm going back to Qi City."
"So sudden."
Ye Tian's expression changed slightly, and then he forced a smile: "This, this is a good thing. A good thing."
In terms of status, Xue Jia was the daughter of the president of the Hongfu Auction House Chamber of Commerce.
Because Xue Jia's mother was a member of the Ye family.
After the Ye family offended the Deity Cult, they were implicated, which led to Xue Jia being suppressed and assigned to the remote Luo Family Town.
Being able to return to Qi City now meant that things had taken a turn for the better.
Xue Jia reached out and gently stroked Ye Tian's head, sighing: "Big sister might be leaving here. Little Tian, you must take care of yourself here, and whatever you do, don't act impulsively."
"I'm not a child." Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
But in his heart, he was extremely reluctant to part.
After his rebirth, he was first brutally beaten by Pockmark Wang, and then foolishly signed a fifty-year indenture contract.
It had been nothing but bad luck all the way.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was living in this town with his childhood sweetheart, Xue Jia.
He didn't expect that now, even the last bit of luck in his heart was being washed away.
"By the way, I have a letter for you."
Xue Jia said as she took out a letter.
The Hongfu Auction House was spread all over the Lingchuan Domain, and they also ran a courier business.
"This is..."
Seeing the familiar seal on the envelope, Ye Tian was slightly stunned.
Memories belonging to Ye Tian instantly surged in his mind: "A letter from the Xu family?"
Xue Jia replied, smiling, "Take a look. It's very likely written to you by your little fiancee."
Seeing Xue Jia teasing him without minding it at all, Ye Tian felt a little bitter.
Perhaps, in her eyes right now, he was just a little brother from next door.
...
Inside the room.
An Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, watching Long Aoxue across from him.
Long Aoxue was a bit nervous. She doubtfully held a chess piece and looked at him with her purple eyes: "Put it here?"
"Idiot, if you put it there, I'll connect five pieces!"
"Then, then I'll put it here!"
"I've connected five pieces on this side too."
An Yi sighed helplessly and put down his piece.
How boring.
Every time he played chess with Long Aoxue, he felt like he was extremely brilliant and incredibly wise.
Ever since this girl woke up, she no longer fell into deep slumber.
She said that the spiritual energy here was abundant, so she didn't need to rely on sleeping to reduce her body's spiritual energy consumption.
As a result, this girl came out more and more frequently, and she could no longer bear staying in the storage space.
Feeling An Yi's disdainful gaze, Long Aoxue said defiantly, "Again!"
"No more, no more!"
An Yi waved his hand.
He still had to go out later to investigate the physical development of the girls in Luo Family Town, write a report, and empathize with the people. Where would he find the time to play chess with this silly girl.
"Then let's bet on something!" Long Aoxue said solemnly.
An Yi scoffed, "Bet on what?"
Long Aoxue's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Bet on spirit cores!"
"Do you have any?" An Yi rolled his eyes at her and asked.
Long Aoxue: "..."
"Then, then let's change it!" Long Aoxue hugged the chessboard and said stubbornly.
An Yi sighed helplessly, "You have nothing, so what do you want to bet?"
"Bet, bet..."
Long Aoxue looked at her own body, suddenly remembered the contents of the chapters in the book An Yi was reading, and said: "Bet on taking off clothes!"
"This... isn't a good idea."
An Yi's throat felt a little dry.
If Long Aoyun knew, he would beat him to death.
But then again, ever since Long Niu learned how to wear clothes, he hadn't seen her like that in a long time...
Ding!
Right at this moment, the system suddenly emitted a ding sound.
"Ding! Main Quest: Defying the Heavens! Quest Reward: Evil Points +100! Fire Element Spiritual Art Mastery (Top Tier)"
Looking at the system quest.
An Yi was slightly stunned.
What the hell, how did a main quest get triggered so suddenly.
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.
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.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
