When Su Luo awoke in his spiritual world, everything around him was shrouded in a hazy white mist.
He remained dazed for a long moment before the memories came flooding back.
Ah, right—I lost. So, I should be dead by now.
The surroundings began to shift, one screen after another appearing, each replaying the events he had experienced throughout the story.
As Su Luo watched, he allowed himself to reminisce.
Though some memories were joyful, most were bitter enough to evoke a physical reaction of disgust.
Yet Su Luo’s heart remained calm. He had already made peace with it all.
This time, there would be no second chance.
It was over.
It had been long enough.
He wasn’t entirely free of regret—after all, it was his own stubbornness that drove him to fight Nangong Xiyun. He had no one else to blame.
Still, he didn’t feel much remorse. Deep down, he had truly wanted that battle. It was just too soon. He had exhausted every possible means, only to lose in the end—how humiliating.
If there was ever a next time, he would win for sure.
The screens around him shattered one by one, and Su Luo watched without joy or sorrow, accepting it all with serenity.
Once the last screen vanished, he waited for his own form to dissolve into nothingness.
There would be no next time.
Yet, after a long while, he remained.
?
Was he still alive?
Su Luo attempted to rouse himself—
Ah. It worked. And far more easily than expected.
Slowly, his eyes opened to reality, and he truly felt it—he was alive.
Now that was unbelievable.
Could it be… Nangong Xiyun actually took a liking to him?
Su Luo nearly laughed at his own absurd thought.
Impossible. There must be another reason—perhaps she was using him as bait to lure out the Demon Lord.
And then, the Demon Lord appeared before him.
Seriously? Did it actually work?
“Why are you back?” Su Luo tried to sit up, but his body felt weak, his strength all but gone.
Jiang Ningshu motioned for him to lie back down before answering, “Because midnight has passed. I no longer have to obey your orders.”
“Then leave quickly. Or you’ll die.”
Right now, Jiang Ningshu was no match for Nangong Xiyun.
Jiang Ningshu shook her head, understanding Su Luo’s concern. “No need. Nangong Xiyun is gone.”
“Why?”
“I drove her off.”
In truth, Nangong Xiyun had left the moment she saw Su Luo awaken—clean and decisive.
But to make it plausible, Jiang Ningshu offered this explanation.
“You beat her?”
“You already wore her down. That’s why I managed to make her retreat.”
“Doesn’t seem likely.”
“Seems you’re underestimating me.”
“No, it’s fine. Let’s just leave before she returns with reinforcements.”
“Alright.” Jiang Ningshu didn’t argue. After all, their agreement still stood.
Soon, Jiang Ningshu helped Su Luo to where Little Yu and Yun were waiting. The journey was smooth, with no ambushes.
So smooth that Su Luo grew suspicious. Nangong Xiyun couldn’t be this sloppy—why was there no pursuit?
Yet, as it turned out, they never encountered Nangong Xiyun again, reaching Little Yu and Yun without incident.
“Su Luo!”
Seeing his weakened state, Little Yu and Yun’s initial joy twisted into frantic worry. They rushed to his side, their concern palpable.
Little Yu: “Su Luo, are you alright? Rest quickly.”
Yun, furious: “Who did this to you?! I’ll never forgive them!”
Her own words stirred a flicker of guilt.
Little Yu, too, was ready to draw her sword and seek vengeance.
“Stop. It was Nangong Xiyun. You can’t beat her.”
Little Yu frowned. “Why would she hurt you so badly?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m from the Heavenly Demon Sect. It’s only natural.”
“Hmm…” Little Yu sensed there was more to it. Though she hadn’t interacted much with Nangong Xiyun, she doubted the other woman would act so ruthlessly without reason.
“Ah… her?” Yun deflated instantly, though she tried to salvage her bravado. “Fine. I’ll just have to get stronger before avenging you. Don’t worry—I’ll make it happen.”
Su Luo wasn’t fooled. “Nice words, but don’t force them.”
Yun pouted and suddenly changed her mind. “Hmph! So what if she’s Nangong Xiyun? Just wait—I’ll settle this right now! Xiao Pa, let’s go!”
Xiao Pa: ?
Su Luo watched silently, making no move to stop her. Yun was probably just looking for an excuse to meet Nangong Xiyun—likely to pass on information.
But he wouldn’t wait for her.
Yun paused. “…Aren’t you going to stop me?”
“Do what you want.”
“…Then I won’t go.” Yun admitted defeat. She’d die if she actually tried. Her earlier outburst was just hot air.
Jiang Ningshu observed Yun closely, her instincts prickling. Something felt off—more than just appearances. It was a familiar presence, one she’d sensed recently.
Then, in a flash of insight, the pieces connected.
So that’s it. Nangong Xiyun—you’re Yun.
The more Jiang Ningshu focused, the more certain she became. There was no mistake.
Nangong Xiyun seemed to sense the scrutiny and met Jiang Ningshu’s eyes—only to find them glinting with knowing amusement.
Instantly, Nangong Xiyun realized.
She’d been exposed.
Her injuries had weakened her disguise.
Su Luo hadn’t noticed. His condition was worse than Nangong Xiyun’s.
Meanwhile, Little Yu was already fussing over Su Luo’s recovery, though her efforts were clumsy. She had never been skilled in healing, having devoted most of her time to cultivation.
She never imagined Su Luo could ever appear so frail.
“How do you feel? Any better?”
“With you looking after me? Of course I am.”
“Don’t joke at a time like this. Just rest.”
“But you really do have that effect.” Su Luo reached up to pat her head.
“Always teasing me.” Little Yu clasped his hand, silently praying for his swift recovery.
She regretted not studying healing arts more seriously.
“Don’t worry. I’ve checked—my injuries have already improved. The Demon Lord treated me earlier.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Meanwhile, a silent exchange unfolded between Nangong Xiyun and Jiang Ningshu.
Nangong Xiyun: Remember our agreement. Don’t speak carelessly.
Jiang Ningshu: Hah. To think you’ve deceived Su Luo for so long—what exquisite manipulation.
Nangong Xiyun: I have my reasons.
Jiang Ningshu: I pity Su Luo. All this time with you by his side, yet he never realized. How do you think he’d treat you if he knew?
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!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.

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?!
