“The weak point of The Glutton is the lower abdomen, and The Greedy One's weak point is the eye.”
Ning Yu stood behind Ning Xuan and gently reminded her. Of course, she had no intention of intervening, but she informed Ning Xuan of the weaknesses of the two mutated zombies.
Ning Xuan didn't turn around; she simply raised her left hand and gestured "OK" to Ning Yu.
Ning Yu noticed that prosthetic devices were beginning to cover her ankles and wrists, resembling protective gear like ankle and wrist guards. There were even jet nozzles on the devices. As Ning Xuan moved, Ning Yu saw bright flames shooting out from them, apparently some kind of propulsion system to enhance her speed.
All the zombies, including the two The Gluttons and the single The Greedy One, surged towards Ning Xuan's position.
Ning Yu stood behind her, watching as she exuded an aura of invincibility, like a single warrior holding off an army.
【You killed a regular zombie, earning 10 points】
【You killed a regular zombie, earning 11 points】
...
A series of point notifications began to ring out. The first wave of regular zombies that charged forward were cut down like overripe bean sprouts, their heads severed by Ning Xuan's blade.
Her mechanical devices continuously and rapidly eject flames of varying sizes, adjusting her posture and accelerating her movements.
This rapid movement was as natural as controlling her own limbs, incredibly agile.
Ning Yu marveled at the ingenious design. Even an ordinary person, if they could be modified to this extent, would likely possess formidable combat power.
Unfortunately, ordinary people couldn't be modified to such a degree.
Come to think of it, Ning Yu had almost forgotten to ask earlier: Why did Ning Xuan need to undergo prosthetic modifications, while she, the elder sister, did not?
Ning Xuan weaved through the zombie horde, her swift movements leaving a trail of corpses in her wake. Soon, she encountered the three mutated zombies.
Ning Yu noticed that Ning Xuan didn't dodge the attacks from The Glutton's claws or bites, nor The Greedy One's sharp scythe-like strikes.
Any attacks that landed were blocked by a curved barrier, rippling like water.
Therefore, Ning Xuan's attacks were direct. With the enhancement of her prosthetic devices, her speed was unmatched, and the battle with the mutated zombies didn't last long.
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Glutton, earning 500 points】
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Glutton, earning 500 points】
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Greedy One, earning 500 points】
With the final notification, Ning Xuan's alloy blade pierced through The Greedy One's tiny eye, killing it instantly.
Ning Yu also collected the points from all the zombies.
She released Blood Kite, which absorbed the zombies' blood to gain weapon experience.
“How was it, sister?”
Ning Xuan, who didn't need to walk during combat, floated back to Ning Yu.
“You're very strong.”
Ning Yu nodded lightly in acknowledgment. Suddenly, she noticed a few streaks of zombie blood on Ning Xuan's pristine silver hair.
She stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from her space, and gently wiped away the bloodstains.
Such a simple action seemed to freeze Ning Xuan, who spoke slowly:
“Sis... sister...”
Both sisters were momentarily stunned.
Ning Yu was startled because the action had become second nature to her. Every time she fought alongside Shen Yiyue, she would help her wipe away the blood.
In that instant, she had subconsciously overlapped Shen Yiyue's image with Ning Xuan's, performing the intimate gesture without hesitation.
Ning Xuan was stunned because she seemed to see a glimpse of her childhood, recalling many past memories.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize Ning Yu's true thoughts.
Ning Yu, realizing her mistake, acted as if nothing had happened, folding her handkerchief and returning it to her space.
She reached out and caught Blood Kite as it flew back, her eyes turning crimson once more.
She nonchalantly stored Blood Kite and walked toward a building that resembled an inn, taking a few steps before saying:
“Let's go, we need to interrogate this guy. Bring him along.”
The man on the ground, still unconscious, was dragged over by Ning Yu.
Ning Xuan was still immersed in the previous action, finally snapped back to reality, and grabbed the man, following behind Ning Yu.
“Ah!”
The man woke up with a slap, only to find two beautiful silver-haired girls in front of him.
He felt a blur of consciousness and excruciating pain in his chest, though the wound had been crudely treated, leaving it a bloody, charred mess.
The room's temperature began to drop, but after a while, the man suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony.
Clearly, he had tried to use his awakened ability but seemed to have suffered some kind of backlash.
“What did you do to him?”
Ning Yu looked at Ning Xuan in confusion. She had apparently inserted something into the man's body, likely tampering with his prosthetic modifications.
“I made a small adjustment to his awakening circuit.”
Ning Xuan winked playfully at her, explaining briefly.
After a while, the man stopped his howling, gasping for breath and too afraid to try using his abilities again.
“Ning... Ning Xuan, how could you...”
The man recognized Ning Xuan's lake-blue eyes, which were different from Ning Yu's, but his expression was one of disbelief.
He clearly remembered that Ning Xuan had also been tasked with finding Ning Yu, and had suffered heavy losses, even being stabbed by her beloved sister.
Why was she now standing by Ning Yu's side?
Only then did he finally piece together what had happened.
“As you can see.”
Ning Xuan smiled nonchalantly at him, a cold and ruthless smile unlike the gentle one she had shown Ning Yu.
She pointed her blade at the man's prosthetic modifications, threatening him in a way he could understand:
“Who else is coming after us? Surely it's not just someone like you?”
Ning Yu watched as Ning Xuan took over the interrogation, noting that she seemed quite proficient at it.
The man glanced at the area being threatened, recalling the searing pain that had just shot through his brain, and shivered.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
“We... we were just the advance team. There are more coming...”
Before he could continue, his head suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes glowing with an eerie light.
“What did you do to him?”
Ning Yu asked Ning Xuan in confusion, but Ning Xuan quickly pulled Ning Yu back.
“Boom!”
A massive explosion rocked the small inn, reducing it to rubble.
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!!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
