"Drip, drip..."
The sound—whether it was bathwater or blood hitting the floor—was unnervingly clear.
The stairwell reeked of the pungent stench of blood.
The door to Su Di'er's home had been smashed open, leaving a gaping hole.
Zhong Yi pressed his eye nervously against the peephole.
He watched as the girl's cheerful footsteps froze the moment she reached the fourth floor.
Yet, in just an instant, Su Di'er steadied herself. Like a startled kitten, she lowered her head and hurried forward.
Her footsteps were no longer light.
Zhong Yi could see it clearly—Su Di'er kept stealing glances toward her own home with the corner of her eye.
The hallway was littered with corpses, impossible to miss.
Zhong Yi's heart pounded wildly.
If Su Di'er showed even the slightest sign of distress, she would end up just like her father or younger brother—brutally slaughtered by those lunatics from the Demon Suppression Bureau!
After all…
They were a pack of madmen hellbent on wiping out the entire family!
What surprised Zhong Yi was that Su Di'er's composure and quick thinking defied her age.
Even as her family's blood pooled at the doorstep…
Even as she saw her little brother's lifeless body sprawled in front of the door…
She didn’t turn back.
Instead, she walked past her home as if it meant nothing to her, heading straight for Li Ang's room.
Only when she reached the guard stationed outside did Su Di'er finally break, her eyes welling up with tears.
Zhong Yi realized it immediately—Su Di'er was pretending not to be Ma Wei's family, but his.
Trembling, Su Di'er approached the door.
Now, only a thin barrier separated her from Zhong Yi.
She raised a hand and knocked.
Her beautiful eyes were already drowning in tears.
Zhong Yi burned with the urge to fling the door open and pull her to safety.
But the moment his hand gripped the doorknob, a sharp deduction flashed in the corner of his vision.
[Behavior Score -10 (This is a life-or-death gamble. Li Ang refuses to meddle in others' karma.)]
[Behavior Score -5 (Opening the door the moment she knocks would reveal you’ve been watching. Unbecoming of a professional killer.)]
Through the peephole, Zhong Yi saw Su Di'er’s delicate face twisted in despair, her voice a fragile whisper.
"Please… please…"
"Open the door… just let me in…"
How could Zhong Yi endure this?
Veins bulged on his forehead as he tightened his grip on the handle.
"Screw karma! OPEN! OPEN!!!"
He gritted his teeth and tried again to turn the knob.
Another prompt.
[Behavior Score -8 (This is a life-or-death gamble. Li Ang refuses to meddle in others' karma.)]
"Damn it!!!"
Zhong Yi cursed and attempted once more.
[Behavior Score -5 (This is a life-or-death gamble. Li Ang refuses to meddle in others' karma.)]
Another failure—but he noticed something. The deductions were shrinking.
Was Li Ang’s true self also struggling?
He looked outside again.
Su Di'er wept silently, her shoulders shaking.
Meanwhile, the Demon Suppression Bureau guard at her doorstep had noticed something amiss. A cold glint flashed as he drew a dagger and began advancing toward her…
Zhong Yi’s breath hitched.
As a cultivator, the guard could easily sense breathing from inside.
If Su Di'er knocked and no one answered… it meant she wasn’t family.
And that meant only one fate awaited her—death.
"OPEN! OPEN, DAMN IT!!!"
Zhong Yi rattled the handle like a madman.
The dagger-wielding man drew closer.
Su Di'er’s brows furrowed, her quiet sobs trembling through her small frame…
[...]
Behavior Score -3…
Behavior Score -1…
Then—
Click.
A sliver of light fell across Su Di'er’s face.
The dull gray in her eyes suddenly flickered to life.
Li Ang’s low voice cut through the silence.
"Come in."
[...]
Li Ang’s room was almost unsettlingly bare.
At the old wooden table, Zhong Yi and the hollow-eyed Su Di'er sat in silence.
The Demon Suppression Bureau agents had left.
The constables had come, asked a few questions, and hastily retreated upon learning it was the Bureau’s doing.
Zhong Yi had just listened to Su Di'er pour out her grief.
How the woman and older sister in the house were her stepmother and half-sister.
How she despised her piggish father, who had watched her mother die without lifting a finger, doting only on his new wife and her daughter while beating Su Di'er daily.
Their deaths didn’t sadden her.
In fact, she admitted that if the Bureau hadn’t done it, she might have killed them herself one day.
The only one she mourned was her four-year-old brother…
[...]
"What’s your name?" Su Di'er asked once she’d calmed slightly.
"Li Ang."
Zhong Yi answered while reaching for a cup of goat’s milk.
"Cute. I like it."
The girl wiped her tears, her tone startlingly frank.
Pfft—
The system’s interference sent Zhong Yi choking on his drink.
While he turned to grab a cloth, Su Di'er’s gaze snagged on a black bundle atop the cabinet.
By the time Zhong Yi turned back, she was staring wide-eyed at the assortment of tools inside his assassination kit.
"Li Ang… what are you?"
She blinked, unafraid.
"Same as them. A killer."
Zhong Yi considered, then answered truthfully.
"But you won’t kill me, right?"
Su Di'er smiled.
Zhong Yi wanted to respond, but the behavior system locked his words.
"Can you kill some people for me?"
"The six outside?"
"Mhm. How much does it cost?"
"Five thousand… per head."
"That’s way too expensive…"
She pouted, suddenly childlike again.
"Li Ang…"
"Teach me how to kill. Be my master, okay?"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
