Wan Xibo examined the remnants of the formation.
"What a pity, nothing useful has been left behind."
Not even a chance to learn from it—it had been completely destroyed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but recall how terrifying Su Luo was as a junior.
Even now, he couldn't comprehend the method Su Luo had used to break the formation. It really made him feel his age.
He couldn't help but worry a little. Such a genius, yet he was in the Heavenly Demon Sect. The cultivation world wouldn't remain peaceful for long.
"I also regret not being able to leave one or two of the Seven Disciples behind."
Lin Xuan felt he needed to improve further. Excluding Su Luo, he should have been able to handle the two of them without issue, but they had somehow managed to escape.
Elder Yan comforted him, "Regardless, surviving that formation is already an achievement. You should leave soon. The Ancient Ruins are too early for you."
"That's true."
Although Lin Xuan had a fearless spirit, he wasn't lacking in rationality and knew when to listen to advice.
Li Siyi slowly stood up, gazing in the direction Su Luo had left. She recalled the kiss they had shared moments ago.
Just thinking about it made her feel bold yet embarrassed.
But it hadn't felt bad at all.
She then looked at the pure spirit stone Su Luo had given her.
During their battle earlier, Su Luo had already explained to her how to use the spirit stone.
There were several ways to utilize it—extracting its spiritual energy for cultivation, embedding it in a sword to enhance its power...
But the best use was as an energy source for formations.
If this spirit stone were added to the sect's protective formation, both offense and defense would be significantly enhanced.
If used in a spirit-gathering formation, its effect would be several times stronger than ordinary spirit stones.
This spirit stone was specifically prepared for formations. Using it for other purposes wouldn't be a complete waste, but it would still be a pity.
After some thought, Li Siyi decided to give the spirit stone to the sect leader, leaving it to him to decide its use.
In Su Luo's name.
Using it herself would be too wasteful.
And...
She hoped Su Luo would have a good outcome.
Although Li Siyi wasn't entirely clear about Su Luo's fate, she couldn't imagine it being a happy one.
She didn't want to stop Su Luo from achieving his goals, but she hoped he wouldn't suffer too terribly in the end.
She wanted everyone to know that Su Luo was, at heart, a gentle person.
Fortunately, for reasons unknown, the core members of the Seven Stars Sword Sect regarded Su Luo as a spy sent to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
So, she decided to use her actions to further solidify this identity.
To the point where even if Su Luo denied it later, no one would believe him.
......
On the other hand, Yun supported Su Luo as they quickly left the area. They wandered aimlessly until they found themselves alone, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their subordinates.
However, their subordinates were clever enough to flee as soon as they saw Su Luo leaving.
This was a lesson they had learned from past experiences—sticking close to Su Luo was the right move. If Su Luo fought, they fought; if he left, they followed immediately.
Hesitating for even a second could be fatal.
"Alright, I can walk on my own," Su Luo said, stretching a bit. Though he looked battered and bruised, it was all an act.
"Hey, Demon Prince Su, why isn't your lip injured? Didn't your former fiancée bite it?"
Yun's focus was strange. She didn't notice the injuries all over his body, but zeroed in on his lip?
"My recovery is strong, what's wrong with that?"
"Oh, so only your lips recover quickly?"
"Stop prying into my business."
"Can I test it then?"
"What, trying to take advantage of me? Of course not."
"You're only saying that because she's pretty, and I'm average, right?" Yun put on a heartbroken expression.
Originally, Nangong Xiyun had just wanted to tease Su Luo, but somehow, the more she teased, the less amusing it became.
And when she thought about Li Siyi kissing Su Luo, her mood soured a little... Was she unhappy?
No, no, no, how could I be unhappy? It's perfectly normal for Su Luo and Li Siyi to kiss. They were childhood sweethearts, so a kiss isn't strange at all.
But... why?
Su Luo replied, "If you say so, you do look pretty average."
"That hurts."
"If you're hurt, at least shed some tears. Your acting is a bit fake."
"Alright, noted. I'll cry next time."
"Tears won't work on me. I'm a cold and heartless person."
"Really? I thought your ex-fiancée seemed in much better spirits after seeing you," Yun said with a hint of jealousy.
"She's not my fiancée anymore. And how do you know she was in a good mood? Do you understand her that well?" Su Luo shot back.
"Not really, haha..." Yun clumsily tried to cover up, further cementing her identity as a spy for the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Su Luo pretended not to notice the anomaly and said, "Let's head back to the Heavenly Demon Sect."
After walking for a while, Yun suddenly asked, "By the way, what did it feel like when you kissed Li Siyi? I'm really curious."
"Be curious about something else, like how I broke the formation. We've already moved past that topic, so drop it."
"Fine."
A little later, after walking some more, Yun asked again, "What did it feel like when she bit you?"
"Get lost!"
......
A few days later, the Seven Disciples gathered once more.
This time, it was Qing Bukuang who had called the meeting.
As soon as Su Luo saw Qing Bukuang, he noticed the man's displeasure. It was obvious to anyone that he was in a bad mood.
But what did that have to do with Su Luo? He took his seat as usual.
Soon, everyone had arrived, and Qing Bukuang got straight to the point.
"Recently, I've heard our reputation hasn't been great."
Silence filled the room.
No one dared to respond. They had indeed suffered a humiliating defeat.
Su Luo didn't bother to read Qing Bukuang's expression and said bluntly, "Yeah, we lost to Lin Xuan."
"Hmph, I leave you alone for a while, and you all weaken. Do you even want to keep your positions?"
Qing Bukuang lightly tapped the table with his fingers. Each tap produced a loud sound, but the table remained intact.
"If you're so capable, you handle it."
Su Luo wasn't trying to provoke him. In fact, the purpose of this meeting was for Qing Bukuang to announce that he would personally deal with Lin Xuan.
Qing Bukuang ignored Su Luo's disrespectful remark and instead said, "I've already touched the threshold of that realm. I believe I'll break through soon."
At that moment, Qing Bukuang radiated confidence.
His words shocked the other disciples. Qing Bukuang was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
So fast!
Especially Cui Baiquan, who thought, "What's the point of competing now?"
"As expected of you," Liao Duci said.
"I'm completely convinced," Xu Wuliang added.
......
Hearing the praise from the others, Qing Bukuang's expression softened slightly.
"So, I'll restore our honor this time. I'll personally deal with Lin Xuan."
"But remember, this is the only time. If you embarrass us again, I'll tear your faces off. After all, you don't seem to need them."
"Understood?"
When no one responded, Qing Bukuang asked again, "Do you understand?"
His imposing aura intensified.
"I don't get it. Are you so sure you can restore our honor?" Su Luo said with a smirk.
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."
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.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
