Wang City.
In a secluded mansion steeped in historical ambiance.
Two figures walked side by side through the courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with various precious flowers and trees, evergreen throughout the seasons, with fragrance wafting through the air.
In the center of the courtyard stood an exquisite artificial mountain, with flowing water adding an elegant touch.
One of the figures carried herself haughtily, sneering at the person beside her: "Shangguan Chuxue, you really do have too much leisure time."
"Father expelled you from the main family, and here you are, entertaining yourself."
"I hear you tend to all these flowers and plants by yourself?"
The woman in white robes beside her responded with a graceful smile: "I just tend to them casually in my spare time."
"But dear sister, what brings you to visit me today?"
As the words fell.
The haughty woman let out a cold laugh: "Sister? Hah, Shangguan Chuxue, shut your mouth."
"I, the martial arts prodigy of the Shangguan family, don't have a useless sister like you!"
"During the recent Wang City competition, I dominated everyone of our age. It's a pity you weren't there to see~"
Hearing this.
Shangguan Chuxue's expression remained unchanged, only smiling slightly as she said: "Xiao, since you possess the [Innate Essence], it's natural for you to surpass everyone."
This Innate Essence constitution was extremely rare, with only a handful of people throughout history possessing it.
Once obtained, the person would naturally have extraordinary cultivation talent - one could say that reaching the Peak Realm would only be their starting point!
Hearing her useless sister's flattery.
Shangguan Xiao lifted her head proudly, chuckling: "Good that you know. The Shangguan family is already disgraced enough by having a waste like you."
"But considering you're still part of the Shangguan family, that's why you were given a place to stay."
"You should be grateful. Also, I came to tell you that the International Warrior Corps selection tournament will begin soon."
Hearing this.
Shangguan Chuxue's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she asked: "The International Warrior Corps selection tournament?"
She muttered to herself: "Has that time come already?"
"So Xiao, why did you come to tell me this?"
She seemed genuinely unaware.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiao's expression grew even more arrogant as she mocked: "I came to tell you that Long Jiuxiao, who broke off his engagement with you back then, will also participate in the International Warrior Corps selection tournament!"
"And... although he broke off the engagement with you, he... is now engaged to me."
"Shangguan Chuxue, bet you didn't expect that?"
"Back then, everyone in Wang City praised you two as a match made in heaven."
"But what a pity... you turned out to be useless."
"Don't worry though, Brother Jiuxiao will be with me, a super genius! I'll be cheering for him from the stands during the International Warrior Corps selection tournament!"
"Of course~ the title of [King of Warriors] will definitely go to my Brother Jiuxiao~"
"Hehe, seeing you living so pathetically makes me feel relieved. Goodbye~"
With that.
Shangguan Xiao left proudly.
However.
What she failed to notice was.
After her departure.
The previously smiling Shangguan Chuxue's expression gradually became extremely calm.
She chuckled lightly: "Still so stupid."
As she spoke, she gracefully walked to the flower bed, gently picking a flower while asking: "Have those two former [Kings of Warriors] been sent?"
As soon as the words fell.
Swoosh!
A black-robed figure instantly appeared and knelt on one knee: "Reporting to my lord, one has arrived at Su Bailian's place."
"The other has reached Jiang Xueqi's home."
The black-robed figure spoke with utmost respect.
As expected of my lord, to be able to turn two Kings of Warriors into pawns!
But... this kind of setup just for a Su Muwan...
He felt that perhaps his lord was overestimating that family's young mistress from such a small place.
Seemingly noticing the black-robed figure's thoughts, Shangguan Chuxue nodded and said: "Very good."
"But... Black One, don't underestimate Su Muwan."
"She managed to win over the War God's wife and daughter, see through Yuwen Hua's schemes, provoke the Divine Doctor causing him setbacks, and recently..."
She dropped the flower, her lips curling into a slight smile, her eyes showing interest: "She even provoked Dragon Tiger Mountain's talented external disciple, Suan Tianxing."
"Not only that, she sent her follower Qin Luo to snatch someone from the Song family's territory."
"And this was right before the Rakshasa King's release date, which means she deliberately provoked them, doesn't it?"
"Moreover, she's hidden the Dragon King of Dragon King Palace somewhere even I can't find."
At this point.
Shangguan Chuxue's tone became somewhat excited: "Haven't you noticed?"
"This Su Muwan is actually just like me! She's constantly seeking a worthy opponent!"
"That's why she keeps provoking all sorts of people."
"Su Muwan and I... are actually the same type of person!"
"Black One... this is the opponent I've been dreaming of!"
"If she can withstand the trials I've prepared for her in this International Warrior Corps selection tournament."
"Then..."
Shangguan Chuxue's lips curled into a smile, her eyes showing the excitement of a predator about to catch its prey: "I will seriously consider her as my true opponent!!"
Hearing this.
Black One belatedly broke out in cold sweat.
He hadn't realized it before, but now hearing his lord's explanation, he suddenly understood.
Indeed!
This Su Muwan... was truly meticulous!!
But! She surely couldn't compare to his lord!
After all... the entire Wang City had already been slowly infiltrated by his lord's arrangements!
Oh right!
Black One suddenly remembered something and mentioned: "Also my lord, that follower called Qin Luo is deeply favored by Su Muwan, perhaps we could use him as an entry point..."
Before he could finish.
Shangguan Chuxue shook her head with an amused smile: "Black One, oh Black One, when did you become as timid as Yuwen Hua?"
"So what if he's favored? He's still just a mere follower."
"This game of chess... is between Su Muwan and me."
"A mere follower can't make any waves. Don't mention that follower again in the future."
Hearing this, Black One respectfully replied: "Yes!"
Indeed, why would a mere follower deserve his lord's attention?
When the time comes, he himself could crush the other's cultivation and trample him underfoot!
As for Su Muwan...
Hehe.
You probably haven't even guessed that the follower who infiltrated Su Bailian's side is my lord's pawn, have you?
I really look forward to seeing you crushed under my lord's feet!!
] 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.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
