25. The Jade Bone Scripture Xiao Qing had been good-looking since he was little. At first, he was treated like a commodity and brought back to the den—but for some unknown reason, the plan changed midway, and he was sent instead to the snow-covered northern regions of Dajing. Zhou Xiaoxiao’s childhood may have been a lie, but at least it had a sugary disguise. Xiao Qing’s was different. In that desolate manor deep in Mount Anyang, time for Xiao Qing seemed frozen in a perpetual…- 80.2 K • Completed
- 24. A Laughable Deception Since the calamity he suffered in his youth, Du Gujue had never encountered any real obstacles. The leader of the Sanxing Sect had spared his life, but to Du Gujue, that mercy was a humiliation—an unmistakable act of contempt. He saw it as a complete disgrace and vowed to take his revenge. In the desert, water was scarce. The entire Sanxing Sect relied on a single underground well for survival. But one day, the disciples began suffering from sharp abdominal pains, chest…

- 23. The Consequences of Provoking Me The Left Protector of the Demonic Sect was a mystery. Some in the jianghu speculated that the sect deliberately kept his background a secret to ensure that his unparalleled martial arts could truly remain “one of a kind under heaven.” But what they didn’t know was that even within the sect, the Left Protector’s origins were shrouded in mystery. Aside from the Sect Leader, others only knew the tip of the iceberg. That included Bai Yuanxiu. Even before…

- 22. Tell me. Bai Yuanxiu hadn’t expected Zhou Xiaoxiao to say something like that. A trick. Bai Yuanxiu knew that although Xiao Qing often poked fun at him or stirred up trouble, he never spoke without reason. He waited a while, and when he saw the person standing in the shadows remain silent, he sighed heavily in his heart. So stubborn. Glancing at the sky that was beginning to lighten, Bai Yuanxiu figured this wasn’t something that could be explained quickly. So he looked at the…

- 21. They were all deceived. In truth, according to Yuanxiu’s thinking, it would’ve been best to investigate the massacre of the Zhai family in Nanyang sixteen years ago without letting Xiao Qing know. Although he didn’t know what role Xiao Qing played in that event, he could guess—it was probably not a good memory for him. The capital of Dajing had a curfew, but for martial artists, the city walls were nothing more than a few extra bursts of internal energy to vault over. The imperial…

- 20. You’re the Idiot! That ghost really was just like the rumors said—floating and eerie, with no visible feet. Bai Yuanxiu was so terrified he nearly lost his soul, but he didn’t dare move recklessly. He kept his nerves taut and stared at the figure, hoping he could at least memorize the ghost’s path this time. He’d heard that vengeful spirits lingered in the places they were most attached to. Some ghosts would even repeatedly reenact the tragic moment of their deaths. Bai Yuanxiu…

- 2. The Rumored Business Poacher Bai Yuanxiu had a bit of a headache—not the physical kind, of course. He steadily drove the carriage forward, all the while frantically praying in his heart that the hawk above would have enough sense not to dive down just because the area looked open and empty. As it turned out, he’d been overthinking it. The hawk circled in the sky for a while, then lazily flew off. But Bai Yuanxiu didn’t dare look up too often, so the rest of the journey was made in silent…

- 19. Confirmed. Bai Yuanxiu pressed on his own leg, then knocked on it twice with a clenched fist. “Didn’t wear enough clothes. A bit chilly.” The middle-aged man nodded. “True enough, it’s just early spring—gets cold when the wind picks up at night.” He was about to continue speaking when Bai Yuanxiu suddenly said, “How about this—can I rent it for just a month first?” “Of course you can! But…” The man hesitated, then asked, “You’re not afraid of… that, are…

- 17. Don’t be in pain anymore… please… Bai Yuanxiu lifted Xiao Qing into his arms—and suddenly felt like he was holding nothing more than a piece of paper. That thought was so ominous it startled him, and he quickly shook it out of his mind. Shifting Xiao Qing to rest in one arm, he gripped his pitch-black refined iron sword in his right hand and brought it down hard on the iron bars in front of him! A tremendous force rebounded up his arm. Pain exploded through his hand, and when he looked…

- 16. He might die. Back then, Xiao Qing was twelve years old. When he sought out the Demonic Sect, to the Sect Leader, he was like a toddler just learning to walk standing in front of an adult. Of course, Xiao Qing was no match for the Sect Leader. The man didn’t even draw a weapon—he simply picked Xiao Qing up like a kitten by the scruff of the neck. “I poured all my inner strength into a strike at his wrist. Guess what happened next?” Xiao Qing didn’t really expect Bai Yuanxiu to…
