At the same time.
Mei Xue gazed heavily at the humanoid monster perched atop the flower bud.
What’s going on...
The aura of the Flower Deity?
Wasn’t Wang Yulan the one who possessed the Flower Deity’s aura? How did she end up like this?
Unless...
Mei Xue seemed to have thought of a possibility, her heart sinking even further.
Could this situation have been orchestrated by Gu Yan?
She glanced at Gu Yan, who had collapsed unconscious the moment the battle began. But would he go so far as to inflict severe injuries on himself?
Or... was Gu Yan feigning illness again?
Mei Xue recalled the battle against the Night King—damn it...
Was this another one of Gu Yan’s schemes?
Inside the overlapping space.
Gu Yan turned to Xiao Leng. "Are you done yet? Any longer, and these people will all die."
"These members of the Night Organization are Qingqiu’s subordinates."
Xiao Leng merely smiled faintly in response. "Don’t rush. Wait a little longer."
Her gaze lingered on Wang Yulan, now transformed into a monster—the bearer of the Flower Deity’s aura...
Had she completely fused with it?
Why? Had Gu Yan tampered with something?
Outside.
Shangguan Miaoyin received the reply, her heart sinking.
Tch, seriously? If Mei Xue’s spatial abilities couldn’t be used...
Then how were they supposed to escape this situation?
Wang Yulan’s consciousness gradually cleared. She could feel her current state—power, endless power, surging relentlessly from within her body.
Following her instincts, she lightly twitched her fingers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dense vines erupted from the ground, wrapping around every corpse in the vicinity.
In full view of everyone, the bodies were drained dry in an instant, reduced to nothing but husks.
!!!!
Everyone was stunned.
"That monster... is absorbing energy!"
"Are we all just food in its eyes?!"
Lin, witnessing this, laughed even more gleefully. She shouted at Wang Yulan, "Newcomer, kill them all!!"
Kill...
As if hearing something, Wang Yulan turned her head toward Lin.
The calmness in her gaze sent an inexplicable chill down Lin’s spine, but soon, Wang Yulan shifted her attention to Bai Jun and the others.
The moment her gaze landed on them, everyone detected a strange, sweet fragrance in the air.
Then, they realized—their bodies wouldn’t move.
"What... is this?"
"I can’t move my body."
[Murong Ci, what are your odds against her?]
Shangguan Miaoyin reached out to Murong Ci, the strongest member of the Night Organization aside from their master. His cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.
However.
Murong Ci replied,
[Zero. I’m no match for her.]
What?
Shangguan Miaoyin was speechless. Were they really going to die here today?
This was ridiculous! If they died here, it’d be beyond humiliating!
Their master would be utterly disappointed in them!
The next second, something happened that sent chills down everyone’s spines.
Buzz—
Without warning, the humanoid monster atop the flower vanished.
When it reappeared, it was already amidst the crowd.
More precisely—
Right beside Gu Yan.
"Gu... Yan..."
The monster used vines to lift the "unconscious" Gu Yan, murmuring his name.
A flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes.
Gu Yan??
She said Gu Yan??
Bai Jun’s eyes widened. Shangguan Miaoyin also turned her head in shock.
At that moment, only one thought echoed in everyone’s minds—
She... knows Gu Yan??
How?
Yet, they remained immobilized by some unknown force.
Lin, unable to endure any longer, shouted, "Newcomer! Hurry up and kill them! Don’t disappoint His Majesty!"
The moment those words left her mouth—
"Silence!"
Wang Yulan whipped her head around, her eyes glowing with an eerie green light as overwhelming killing intent crashed down on Lin.
The latter’s face instantly twisted in horror.
Then, Wang Yulan turned back to Gu Yan. "Gu Yan... why are you here...?"
She reached out with a pale hand, gently touching his cheek.
Her eyes held a mix of sorrow and joy.
Could this... be fate?
She had become like this, yet Gu Yan had appeared before her.
If so, could she take him away and turn him into one of her own?
With that thought, Wang Yulan glanced at the other warriors nearby.
"I’m sorry," she said softly. "I’m taking Gu Yan with me."
"And to ensure none of you leak this information... so..."
As her voice trailed off—
"Huh?!"
"What?!"
Everyone realized their hands were moving against their will—slowly reaching for their own necks.
Bai Jun’s expression twisted in disbelief. "What kind of joke is this? What ability is this?!"
He struggled to resist, but his hands refused to obey.
Ning Qian, gripping her sword, found the blade inching toward her own throat.
"Tch..."
Shangguan Miaoyin and the others were no different.
[Mei Xue, Mei Xue, are you really unable to use your abilities? If this goes on, we’ll all die.]
[Yeah, Sister Mei Xue, this is too humiliating! Even if we can revive, dying like this is just embarrassing!]
[Eh... we can revive?]
[Shut up, newbie! This isn’t the time for your questions!]
[Ugh... s-sorry...]
Just as everyone was about to end their own lives—
BOOM!!
A devastating sword aura materialized out of nowhere.
Like the first ray of dawn piercing through the endless night, it tore through the darkness.
The sword aura was razor-sharp, carving a magnificent arc across the sky at the brink of despair.
With a deafening roar, it swept forward.
"ROAR!!"
Every demonic creature born from the shadows was obliterated, like autumn leaves swept away by a storm.
Even Grandmaster-level monsters shattered like glass, dissolving into black dust.
The colossal black sword aura didn’t stop there—it shot straight toward Lin, whose face twisted in shock.
"NO!!"
With a final scream, Lin vanished alongside the sword aura.
The fog-covered sky of the forbidden zone instantly brightened.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
Everyone held their breath, unable to process what had just happened.
What... what was that??
Who saved them??
The next second—
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Countless spatial rifts opened beneath their feet.
"Now! Retreat!"
Mei Xue barked the order, instantly teleporting everyone away.
Even the "Gu Yan" in front of Wang Yulan was taken.
In an instant, the forbidden zone fell into complete silence.
......
......
Inside the overlapping space.
Gu Yan was dumbstruck. He swallowed hard, turning stiffly toward Xiao Leng beside him.
The opponent held a black dagger in their hand. Noticing Gu Yan's gaze, the corner of their lips curled slightly: "Consider this a warm-up."
What kind of over-the-top warm-up was this?!
And—
"Why did you kill Lin?!"
Gu Yan was stunned. Killing monsters was one thing, but how could they take out a teammate with a functioning brain?
Hearing this, Xiao Leng only smiled wider. She sheathed her dagger and slowly closed the distance between them, stepping so close that Gu Yan could almost catch the sweet, honey-like fragrance emanating from her.
Then, with her now-unveiled, starry-night eyes fixed on him, she flashed a faint smile and said,
"Because... you belong to me—and the other me—as our cauldron."
"No one else has the right to claim you."
"Not even in their fantasies."
!!!
Gu Yan's heart lurched. He averted his gaze and muttered, "Please don't say weird things while borrowing Qingqiu's body."
"Is that so? I think the other me would have done the same."
Gu Yan: "........"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
