"Xiao Tian, I owe you an apology!"
An Yi sighed slightly and said.
Ye Tian was puzzled but shook his head with a resigned smile. "It's fine. If the Nine Suns Divine Fire can reside in you, that's your fortune. Besides, I naturally possess the Nine Suns Divine Meridian."
An Yi: "..."
He had actually forgotten about that.
Moreover, it wasn't his fault.
That woman in the tower had forcibly passed that so-called fire seed onto him without a second thought.
He couldn't shake it off even if he wanted to!
"Ahem, that's not what I meant."
An Yi cleared his throat and spoke again.
Ye Tian asked curiously, "Then what else do you owe me for?"
An Yi: "..."
Never mind; he decided not to say it. Even if he did, this guy wouldn't understand.
He was already worn out worrying about this pathetic destiny value.
But what exactly was the main quest 【Defying Fate】?
Thinking about this, An Yi fell into deep contemplation.
Even he couldn't quite pin it down.
Was he supposed to roar, "Don't bully the poor youth"?
Bullshit!
What did that have to do with defying fate? At best, it was just the bitter howl of a loser.
If fate couldn't be changed, would he then have to block the Xu family's gate and yell, "Don't bully the middle-aged poor," "Don't bully the elderly poor," or "The dead are the greatest"?
Clearly, he hadn't grasped the crux of the matter.
"Let's head back and collect those fifty thousand gold coins first. This engagement can't be broken off for nothing!"
An Yi said seriously.
He needed money in hand.
Getting by with counterfeit coins was no way to live; it was fine to scam a profiteer like Xu Liu once.
But if he cheated honest, hardworking folks struggling to make a living, his conscience wouldn't allow it.
After all, he was a kind and good person.
Of course, there was another small reason: counterfeiting gold coins would get him wanted by the entire Eastern Ling Kingdom, hanged, and flogged!
"Whatever, do as you please."
Ye Tian looked as if he had let things go.
As for the Xu family, he had long since stopped holding any hope for them.
They were nothing but heartless beasts!
It was only a pity that the Ye family hadn't seen through these turncoats sooner.
"Let the past be the past. You still have Xue Jia, don't you?" An Yi comforted him.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
The Ancient Continent didn't have the concept of monogamy. Could this guy be the protagonist of a harem story? No wonder any pretty girl he met came with a frighteningly high destiny value.
Ye Tian said casually, "It's fine. I don't care anymore."
In his previous life.
He had thought he could grow old with that woman named Liu Meier, only to discover she was a spy planted by Di Feng.
In the end, his plan to break through to the Transformation God Realm was leaked, and Di Feng caught him red-handed, leading to his fall and soul transmigration.
An Yi stroked his chin in thought. This matter couldn't just be brushed aside.
If that guy got the short end of the stick from the Xu family, he'd need to get even with them.
Otherwise, his destiny value wouldn't increase!
"Let's find an inn and wait for good news." An Yi said flatly.
He was fifty percent sure Xu Chun would deliver the fifty thousand gold coins.
He was seventy percent sure the Xu family would seek help from the city lord's mansion!
He was a hundred percent sure Xu Chun would make a move against them!
He'd counter moves with moves, or else how could he boost the destiny value?
He needed to figure out how to complete Ye Tian's main quest successfully.
Of course, An Yi himself hadn't expected the Xu family's target to be him!
"What a hassle, what a hassle!"
An Yi sighed slightly.
Right now, he, the leader of the Shura Sect, was a lone general without any troops, and he had to handle everything himself.
This damned destiny...
An Yi glanced at Ye Tian, and his gaze froze.
Something was off. That guy had already reached the early stage of Spirit Gathering!
"You broke through?" An Yi asked curiously.
Ye Tian nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I didn't expect my strength to increase faster than I imagined."
An Yi's expression turned serious.
This guy had gone from a weakling beaten up by Wang Mazi to a Spirit Gathering stage martial artist in just a short time. It was incredibly fast.
If he had achieved such strength in just two or three months, how strong would he be in a year or two?
Thinking this, An Yi nodded slightly.
Thankfully, he had encountered Ye Tian before he became powerful. Right now, he was just a bit weak, with no major issues.
If he had run into Ye Tian after three years of training, subduing him would have been a huge problem.
Otherwise, he'd be dealing with another Dragon Aoyun that was impossible to handle.
...
Nighttime, the city lord's mansion.
The silent night was broken by a woman's cries.
The city guards standing at the gate all listened with flushed faces.
"This young lady of the Xu family is really wild!"
"With that short stature, how does she let out such loud yells?"
"Maybe Master Qi is just that strong?"
"Strong my ass! The girls at the pleasure house west of the city all say Master Qi is as thin as a matchstick."
"Shh! Shh! You idiot, how can you say such things!"
The two guards glanced toward the direction of Young Master Qi's room and whispered to each other.
Their eyes couldn't help but keep drifting toward the young master's bedchamber, sneaking glances again and again.
They couldn't see anything clearly, only the silhouette of a curvy figure, cast by lamplight on the opaque window paper, rising and falling.
Inside the room.
A thick, indescribable atmosphere of intimacy filled the air.
Two naked bodies, a man and a woman, were tightly embracing.
Xu Yiyun blushed, burying her face in Qi Zun's arms, and said softly, "Azun, I might have to go on a trip. It'll be several days before I can see you."
Qi Zun smiled. "What, off to your mother's place again?"
"Missing my mom, that's all." Xu Yiyun pouted, her voice coquettish.
"But didn't you just go a few days ago?"
Qi Zun frowned, sensing something was off. His fiancée had used this excuse several times before, and then he wouldn't see her for days, never knowing what she was up to.
Xu Yiyun huffed, "What's with that? You won't even let me?"
Qi Zun gave a sly grin. "It's just that I'll miss you when you're gone for days."
Hearing this, Xu Yiyun brightened with joy, then sat up and said, "The night's still young. How about we keep going?"
Instantly, Qi Zun felt his legs beginning to cramp.
This girl, how was she so insatiable!
Sweat beading on his forehead, Qi Zun said, "Let's rest first, rest first..."
Xu Yiyun shot him a look of mild disdain.
If only this guy had a bit more stamina, would she have to keep going to see her "mother" every few days?
"While I'm away, don't you dare mess around. If I catch you going to the west side of the city again, I'll burn down that brothel!"
Xu Yiyun pinched Qi Zun's nose, putting on a jealous pout as she spoke menacingly.
Gazing at the adorable look of the girl in his arms, Qi Zun stroked her smooth skin and gave a doting smile. "You're overthinking it. We're about to get married—why would I do anything so disgraceful? I'm the young city lord of Qi City, after all."
The next morning, at the west side of Qi City.
Qi Zun strolled down the street, heading toward the brothel.
Just then, a graceful red figure drifted past him, carrying a faint, fragrant breeze.
Qi Zun was mesmerized. He stared after her figure, long lost in a daze.
He had never encountered such a seductively cold and alluring woman before!
Compared to her, Xu Yiyun was far, far inferior!

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on?

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.
