"Do you really want to kill me?"
"Yes, really. I've said it before - I hate being deceived more than anything, and you repeatedly tricked me using the souls of Black Water Village's residents. Therefore, you must die!"
"I wasn't trying to deceive you. I only wanted to scare you away, but who knew you'd be so temperamental..."
The Mirror Demon tried to explain, but Gu Qingfeng interrupted: "But you did deceive me, and you even swindled me out of two copper coins."
The Mirror Demon's eyes widened: "That's not my fault! That Dog Leftovers had a mischievous personality when he was alive, and his soul's actions were guided by instinct."
"Enough, enough. Just go and die."
"Wait, I have one last thing to say."
"Speak."
"I think one thing you said was very right."
"Which one?"
"Villains die from talking too much!"
The Mirror Demon's face suddenly turned grotesque, and his body began emitting a white light, becoming completely transparent in that moment.
The Mirror Demon had been speaking nonsense just to buy time and accumulate power!
His nearly transparent body, to Gu Qingfeng's astonishment, moved with lightning speed - whoosh! - and somehow bypassed his Diamond Body defense, diving straight into Gu Qingfeng's body!
Simultaneously, the Mirror Demon's arrogant laughter echoed inside Gu Qingfeng: "Hahaha! Gu Qingfeng, your body is mine now! Become my mirror slave!"
Hearing his "hearty" laughter, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile too.
"Seems you still don't understand. Protagonists triumph through talk-no-jutsu, while villains die from talking too much. Unfortunately for you, I'm the protagonist, so you're finished."
Ding!
You've been attacked by the Mirror Demon!
Mirror Clone incubating...
"Ahhh!" The Mirror Demon suddenly screamed in terror inside Gu Qingfeng's body.
"How is this possible!? What is this power! My body! My body is dissolving..."
The Mirror Demon struggled desperately, but against the system's mighty power, it was completely useless. He could only watch helplessly as he gradually dissolved.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry, knowing it wouldn't take long for the Mirror Demon to perish, so he sat down and waited patiently for the outcome.
.......
Outside, in the Mirror Domain.
Having lost their leader, Wang Fatty and Xu Daizi were huddled together in a thatched cottage, seeking comfort in numbers.
Since Gu Qingfeng's disappearance, these two had been on the run, first being chased by five hundred villagers, each holding a mirror. They couldn't fight back - killing a villager would turn them into dangerous mirror shards.
Fortunately, the villagers had been ordinary people when alive, and even as spirits, they weren't very strong. After much effort, the two managed to shake off the villagers and ran into a small forest. They thought they could relax, but then discovered that all the trees and leaves had transformed into mirrors.
Terrified, they turned and fled, finally reaching an open space. But then the sky suddenly became turbulent, and a smooth mirror surface was slowly revealed behind the clouds.
The sky itself had become a mirror.
Panic-stricken, they hurried back to Black Water Village and hid in an empty thatched cottage.
"Xu Daizi, what should we do now? What does the book say?" Wang Fatty whispered.
"The book says, 'As Heaven maintains vigor through movements, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection,'" Xu Daizi whispered back.
"What does that mean?"
"Rely on ourselves."
Wang Fatty was about to pinch Xu Daizi's soft waist in frustration, but suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded outside - clearly villagers searching for them.
Both men tensed up immediately. They exchanged glances, deciding they couldn't just wait to be caught - they might as well fight.
They drew their standard-issue long sabers, crafted by the skilled artisans of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Though standard-issue, the blades were incredibly sharp, with surfaces as smooth as mirrors.
As smooth as mirrors...
.......
In the Mirror Space.
As the Mirror Demon's voice grew weaker, he began calling for help - not from Gu Qingfeng, but from the Blood Divine Son!
"Lord Blood Divine Son, save me! Save me!"
Gu Qingfeng was slightly startled - who was the Blood Divine Son? The Mirror Demon had mentioned him briefly before.
However, Gu Qingfeng's confusion didn't last long, as the Blood Divine Son soon appeared.
"Useless fool! This lord's revival is imminent, yet I must waste power on such trash as you. After this, you will blood-sacrifice ten thousand people to me!"
An icy, stern, and authoritative voice echoed from within Gu Qingfeng's body.
Gu Qingfeng was bewildered again - why was there another demon inside him?
But he quickly realized that this Blood Divine Son wasn't actually inside his body, or more precisely, he was inside the Mirror Demon!
Damn, it's like Russian nesting dolls!
"Yes, yes, yes! If my lord can save me, I'll offer the blood of a hundred thousand people afterward!"
Hearing "hundred thousand people," the Blood Divine Son was immediately satisfied. He emerged from the Mirror Demon's body, appearing in the form of a single drop of blood.
This blood drop was as brilliant as a ruby, crystal clear, but emanating an extremely evil aura accompanied by a nauseating bloody smell.
The Blood Divine Son looked around disdainfully inside Gu Qingfeng's body: "Hmm? This youngster's physical body isn't bad, barely qualified to serve as this lord's vessel."
As he spoke, the blood drop suddenly shattered into countless tiny droplets, spreading throughout Gu Qingfeng's body, beginning to completely corrode his physical form, and then...
Ding!
You've been attacked by the Blood Divine Son.
Blood Concentration +10+10+10...
"Ahhh!"
A piercing scream echoed inside Gu Qingfeng's body - it was the Blood Divine Son.
"How is this possible!? What is this power! My body! My body is dissolving..."
Gu Qingfeng scratched his head in bewilderment, thinking: "Did this guy come here just to be a joke?"
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
