Due to working through the night and putting in overtime until his liver was going bust, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance was in a bad mood. He refused to organise the yearly Martial Arts General Assembly.

Like the water in the rivers flowing away, the state of the world became worse day by day. Only the followers of the demonic cults preserved their original aspirations.

And, among the jianghu people mentioned above, whether they belonged to the righteous or the evil, not a single one of them could fight.

Kindness repaid with kindness, evil repaid with evil? White Horse Neighs in the Western Wind? Such things did not exist. Everyone still had to pay their credit card bills and house loans.

A suffering MC novel—the main character must be forced to suffer, be oppressed until they’re hovering between life and death, dying and living here and there. They can have a golden finger, but before getting it they must pay the price. They can also have beautiful women, but all are snake and scorpion beauties, able to look at but not eat.... more>>

“Curse” is just that type of suffering MC novel. The main character Xi Wei, after being forced to experience numerous sufferings, had, at last, become the most powerful, at the same time linking together with the world’s qi and fate. After he was oppressed too miserably, he committed su*cide and buried the entire world with him.

Zeno transmigrated, in the end arriving at “Curse of sh*t motherf*cker”.

Zeno was adopted by the MC, finally becoming the number one person/wife.

Zeno: Help, I don’t want to be destined to be raised by this perverse person!

All living things (wipe away tears): You must rescue this world, ah.

Xi Wei: Come over here. <<less

"Bring us your finest wine and best meat!" Yelled a hulking man who seemed to be the leader of the dozen strong group.

"How much?" The waiter anxiously nodded his head.

"As much as you have!" The hulking man yelled back.

"That's..."

"HUH?" The hulking man shot the waiter a furious glare.

"Dear guests, our inn operates on the principle of 'pay first, dishes later'. As such, it will be better if you tell us exactly how much meat and wine you need." Xiao Se returned their furious stares with a thin smile.

"Who are you supposed to be?" The hulking man eyed him with bulging eyes.

"This humble one is known as Xiao Se, the owner of this inn, the Fallen Snow Villa." Xiao Se replied with the same smile and with a level of courtesy worth a solid 12/10.

"Well, we have no money." The hulking man stabbed his blade into one of the nearby tables.

"Oh?"

"But I'm sure you have some!" The man pointed his finger at Xiao Se.

At that, Xiao Se furiously shook his head. "I'm sorry to break it to you but our little inn hasn't made a single sale in almost a month. I'm about to owe them salaries myself..."

"Like hell if I care!" The hulking man smashed his palm down on the table. "Even if you have no money, that fur coat of yours should at least be worth a hundred odd silvers."

"NONSENSE!" Yelled Xiao Se, eyes wide open and gaze as sharp as daggers.

The hulking man was stunned, his body even shivering involuntarily for that split second.

"I, Xiao Se, ride only the finest horse and wear only the richest threads! This fur coat of mine was specially sewn by some of the finest seamstresses in the imperial capital in the August Threads. Just sewing it took three whole months, shipping it, another one. Hmph, a hundred silvers? That's not even enough to buy the sleeves of my coat!" <<less

Ji Yuebai, a genius in the cultivation world seen only once in a thousand years, was seriously injured during an outdoor training session when she encountered a little green snake.... more>>

She had always considered it her duty to eliminate demons and protect the Dao. Usually, she would dispatch these kinds of creatures with a single sword strike, but now, her severe injuries made it difficult to mobilize her spiritual energy. A slight misstep during her healing process could lead to demonic possession.

Helpless, Ji Yuebai could only watch as the jade-green little snake swam towards her across the water and wrapped itself around her body.

She made up her mind that as soon as her wounds healed a bit, she would cut this creature into a thousand pieces.

However, the little green snake, unaware of the impending disaster, fl**ked its pink tongue unconsciously. It just so happened to touch Ji Yuebai’s ears, as smooth and lustrous as pearls and jade, and suddenly found that the body beneath it started shaking uncontrollably.

It’s often said that snakes are naturally lustful, and demon snakes even more so. Ji Yuebai could no longer bear such a humiliation. What if she succumbed to demonic influences? She attempted to channel her spiritual energy into her sword, but at that moment, an icy sensation came from her wounds, providing temporary relief from the pain.

She then saw the green snake’s slender tail gently applying a sacred healing herb, which hadn’t touched water, to her wounds.

…

Ji Yuebai, the junior master from Tian Yuan Sect, who was always at odds with the demonic path, caused quite a stir in the sect when she returned from her training with a snake demon in tow.

Many people in the sect thought Ji Yuebai had lost her mind. Even more self-proclaimed warriors of justice, under the banner of demon-slaying and protecting the Dao, demanded the death of the little green snake, branding it a vile creature of evil.

That is, until Ji Yuebai stood on the Life and Death stage, shaking the fresh red blood from her sword, and said coldly: “Is there anyone else who objects? Let them speak on the stage of life and death.”

From that moment on, no one in the sect dared to bring up this matter again.

…

The little green snake followed Ji Yuebai in her daily cultivation. When Ji Yuebai got up, it did too; when Ji Yuebai rested, it would curl up into a ball in her arms and rest with her.

The unrivaled swordmaster of Tian Yuan Sect, Ji Yuebai, finally had a companion.

Many noticed that the Shishu, who used to have a stern face every day, now had much softer corners to her lips.

Until one day, Ji Yuebai woke up to a gentle, silky touch. She looked down to see an exquisitely beautiful woman with green snake skin softly curled up in her arms, her wrist resting on her waist in an almost boneless manner, and her voice was utterly captivating: “Yuebai, I’ve transformed~”

It was then that the always single-minded Ji Yuebai understood the true meaning of the term “demon.”
