I like sitting on the empty street during the night, listening to the hushed whispers of 'them,' savoring the clamor of 'their' noise.

Ruan Qing picked up a man from ancient times.... more>>

The man said, "I've been working for many years and earned tens of thousands of gold taels and boxes of gems.

Ruan Qing asked, "Where is it?"

The man replied, "... in ancient times."

Snippet of daily interaction:

Twenty-seven looked over.

In the video, a tall, thin, young man was wearing a mask. He ducked his head to get out of the car, and then he looked up. Only half of his long hair was tied back, and the other half was hanging loose. The movement of lowering his head and then raising it, along with his walking motion, and the slow playback caused his flowing hair to slowly fall off his shoulders and float down his back.

This made his face look all the more delicate. However, the lower half of his face was hidden by the mask.

According to Twenty-seven's understanding, the purpose of this video was just to watch the young man flip his hair.

The young man was very much like those dandies in another time and place that put on makeup. When they saw a proper young lady on the street, they would flirtatiously push their hair behind their shoulders with their fan before going over to tease the lady.

It was indecently flamboyant!

Twenty-seven looked down on those types of men, but reality told him that some women enjoyed those types.

He raised his eyelids and looked from the phone screen to Ruan Qing's face.

Sure enough, Ruan Qing was weak to that sort of behavior.

Her eyes were narrowed, and her smile was silly. She was like a love-struck fool as she stared at the looped playback on the screen. She sighed and said, "Ah, how can he look so good?!"

Twenty-seven: "..."

Twenty-seven didn't say anything and diligently continued cooking.

After they finished eating, he washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. Ruan Qing was sitting on the sofa and swiping her phone.

After swiping her phone for a bit, she suddenly heard Twenty-seven ask, "Like this?"

Ruan Qing turned her head. Twenty-seven had his hands in his pockets and seemed uncomfortable. Half of his long hair was tied up in a high ponytail while the rest was draped over his shoulders.

His attractiveness and figure wasn't any worse than the guy that had uploaded the earlier video.

Wait, that was wrong. Ruan Qing had seen the guy in the video without his mask. Based on her aesthetics, Twenty-seven would totally beat him in attractiveness!

At this moment, Ruan Qing even felt a greedy desire. If this man from ancient times couldn't resolve the issue of getting an identity card, she wouldn't mind if he stayed with her and cooked her meals and cleaned her apartment in lieu of getting a job.

However, these selfish ideas were definitely not okay. She was just thinking about it.

If Twenty-seven didn't get an identity recognized by the government, he would have to rely on her for many things. He might even be at risk of being exploited by her. That was too unfair to him.

Ruan Qing continued worrying over how to solve the issue of giving Twenty-seven an identity.

Attempt #3 at finding a job:

Twenty-seven had broken away from his original world and the control of the Palace of Hell. He had originally wanted to live out his life as an ordinary person.

However, a yuan could stump a hero. If he wanted to stop financially relying on Ruan Qing, he had to figure out a way to earn money. However, without an identity, he couldn't earn money through legal channels.

After much deliberation, he decided that his only option was to return to his old profession.

Twenty-seven continued his stroll.

His hard work paid off. He met another quarreling group. It was two men and one woman.

Twenty-seven observed them for a while to understand what was going on. Their quarrel was about the woman. The two men were her husband and ex-husband. That was kind of interesting.

The two men fought until their heads were bleeding. In the end, they were pulled apart, and the husband left with his wife.

The ex-husband harshly said, "I'll rip off your head the next time I see you!"

The ex-husband took out a tissue and wiped the blood on his face while cursing back as he left the scene.

The spectators dispersed once the excitement was over.

Twenty-seven surreptitiously followed the ex-husband and called out to stop the ex-husband when they got to a parking lot.

He had observed earlier that the ex-husband had a beer belly and was wearing a big gold chain necklace and beaded bracelets. He was definitely a hundred times richer than the hawker couple from before.

"How can you easily let go of your hatred? He stole your wife." The former gold-medal showed off his imposing aura as he approached the gold chain necklace ex-husband. "For 10,000 yuan, no bargaining, I'll bring you his head tonight."

Don't quote a price that was too cheap to rich people. Otherwise, they would think he was a third-rate killer that was scraping to make a living.

The gold chain necklace ex-husband was still holding a bloody tissue. He speechlessly stared at the gold-medal assassin.

People that would commit crimes of passion would sometimes have additional requests that were quite strange. Twenty-seven had taken on those orders before.

Twenty-seven thought it over and said, "If you want to make him a eunuch, that'll cost an additional 2,000 yuan."

The ex-husband: "..."

"You're crazy!" The ex-husband dropped the tissue and beelined to his car. Everyone was afraid of lunatics. After all, if a lunatic committed a crime, he wouldn't be punished by the law.

Twenty-seven watched as his potential big customer nervously bolted into his car, immediately locked his car door, stepped on the gas pedal, and disappeared from the parking garage in an instant.

Twenty-seven was a bit depressed. As an assassin, he wasn't good at promoting his service.

People in his line of business had specialized duties. He was only responsible for killing people. Other people were responsible for the administrative matters in the Palace of Hell. Moreover, their reputation preceded them, and most of their customers came to them with gold and silver.

In the past, Twenty-seven was sure that he would be able to give a good life after leaving the Palace of Hell. But now, he suddenly wasn't so sure. It was so hard to make money!

If Ruan Qing knew about his situation, she could explain his problem using modern concepts. People thought they were amazing when they had a platform to rely on. It was only when they left the platform that they would realize they were nothing. <<less

(A humorous and cute passage)... more>>

Despite being a nobody dressed in second-hand clothes and often unlucky, Chu Yu had a powerful advantage that made her feel great.

The male protagonist in the original book, Long Aotian, was currently illiterate. By becoming his junior sister, Chu Yu could benefit from his luck and extend her lifespan.

Meanwhile, the villain in the original book, who would eventually become the Demon Emperor, was currently just a foolish youngster who wanted to cause chaos in the world of cultivation. By tricking him into becoming her senior brother, Chu Yu could also benefit from his connections in the demon realm.

However, due to some unexpected events, Chu Yu found herself bound to a blood oath with the tragic cannon fodder of the original story. There was a hint of ambiguity in their relationship. He is incredibly attractive and would often say things like “I guard my body like a piece of jade, pure and untainted.”

Chu Yu nodded in agreement and replied, “Yes, I will always remember my mission and never forget my original intention!”

She worked hard to persuade him to join her in making their sect stronger and more powerful.

Since he was born, Pei Xingzhi had been entrusted with great responsibilities by his family. At the age of three, he started practicing with a sword regardless of the harsh winter weather, and he became well-versed in various types of literature.

At the age of sixteen, Pei Xingzhi became the next head of the Pei family. He was as fierce as the morning sun, with a sturdy and upright posture. He could easily defeat many talented individuals and was about to become the next Holy Son of the Ye Continent.

But he never expected that everything was a lie. His background was fake, his education was fake, and he was only a tool to be used for gaining power and influence.

When he was close to death, Pei Xingzhi pulled on the black collar around his neck, which he had worn since he was a child. He realized that it was not a protective talisman but a soul-breaking curse. Once he removed it, his soul would disappear.

He looked down in shame and muttered, “So they raised me like a dog, a dog that would bite people.”

A warm hand touched his collar, and a young girl said, “Brother, your collar is quite stylish! It’s really popular now!”

“Brother, I made ten thousand of these collars overnight and sold them at the Daoist s*x shop for one thousand spirit stones each! Everyone wants one!”

“Oh, and one more thing, Brother. I really like this collar. It’s forbidden and exciting, and it matches your fair skin perfectly. You look so handsome with it on!”

Pei Xingzhi remained silent.

(This is a passage about the journey of four silly friends who have been inseparable since they met. It features a lively and clever girl from a parallel world and a cold and melancholic male protagonist known as the “bitter melon spirit.”)

The kingdom boasted a hero and formidable leader of the demon extermination force, Valen Rudwick. Amidst the chaos of battle, he tried to rescue a woman from a demon attack, only to be struck on the back of his head…... more>>

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

Valen, the human warrior who despises demons, and Argentine, the demon king who sought peace through a child.

In the Credion Empire, where I was taken as a hostage, I encountered these small beings, and their earnest plea was so cute that I agreed to grant their request.

What came out was none other than a pickaxe.
"This is a noble pickaxe, blessed by Goddess Terra! Now, Stella, you too can become a noble farmer!"

Farming, of all things. Despite being a bastard, Stella had always been far removed from such pursuits and simply shook her head, dismissing the idea.
Yet, as time passed, she increasingly found herself drawn to the pickaxe, and it seemed as if the garden beyond was calling out to her.

Strange, why do I suddenly want to farm?
