Chapter 1
"ah!"
"A monster! There's a monster!"
In the green rice paddies, a three-eyed behemoth tramples over the fleeing villagers, as if toying with amused ants.
"Father, save me! Father!" A ten-year-old child tripped on the edge of the paddy field and fell heavily into the field, crying and running away from the man.
The giant beast had excellent hearing. Hearing the human's cry for help, it maliciously turned around and roared at the girl.
"Father, Father..." The girl was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she lay on the ground in a daze.
With each step the giant beast took, the ground trembled. Its dark, foul-smelling feet lifted as if to savor the terrified expressions of the humans, before slowly landing.
Suddenly, a muscular man, six feet tall, stood in front of the girl, gripping a shovel and glaring fiercely at the giant beast. However, his imposing manner was nothing compared to the beast's overwhelming strength, like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The companion who had run further away saw the man running back and shouted, "Old Lin, run! It's okay if a girl is lost, but lives matter!"
The man called Lao Lin glared angrily at the giant beast, raising his shovel high.
"Father, run! Don't worry about me..." The girl was trembling with fear, but she still told the man to run.
"Niu Niu, Daddy won't abandon you!"
"Father!"
The behemoth had no time to watch the humans put on their heartwarming father-daughter drama, and stomped down hard.
"Pfft—"
The sharp shovel pierced the giant beast's foot, eliciting a roar from it.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, thick, long vines sprouted from the wild grass in the field, winding and rushing forward, tightly gripping the beast's limbs.
A bright red streak flashed across the green field, followed by vines that seemed to obey her commands, pulling the giant beast backward with all their might.
The girl and Old Lin were stunned, having survived the ordeal, and even forgot to breathe.
The red figure landed in front of Old Lin, and a clear voice said, "Uncle, can I borrow your shovel?"
Before the words were even finished, the shovel that was in Lao Lin's hand had already fallen into the hands of the woman who was running ahead.
Old Lin snapped out of his daze, picked up his daughter, and comforted her, "Niu Niu, don't be afraid, Daddy's here."
The usually quiet and reserved man burst forth with paternal love, and the girl in his arms hugged her father tightly and cried loudly.
The giant beast over there possessed incredible strength and managed to break free from the tightly binding vines. Enraged, it roared at her, its voice deafening.
"Your breath is so foul, you deserve to die." The woman in red covered her face, her eyebrows furrowed. She hated these rude monsters who breathed on her.
The giant beast understood human speech and was furious, so it slammed down with a huge hand.
The woman gripped the shovel tightly, lightly tapping the ground to easily bypass the descending giant hand, and slapped it away with the shovel, causing the ugly beast's face to turn to the side. She then made a hand seal, and the shovel, devoid of any spiritual power, emitted golden light, slicing through the giant beast's left arm with her movement.
"Roar!!!" The giant beast roared in fury, swinging its severed arm. The woman dodged the beast's attacks while simultaneously making a hand seal. The silent vines suddenly went wild again, piercing through the beast's body and embedding themselves in its flesh, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
"Boom—"
The giant beast collapsed to the ground, and the woman, leaning on her shovel, exhaled.
This body is definitely not as good as the one I used to be.
Spiritual energy is also consumed quickly.
The woman glanced at her fair palm, the intricate golden lines flashing before her eyes.
Tsk, it seems that maintaining human form with only a few wisps of primordial spirit is still a bit of a strain.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, fairy." Old Lin led Niu Niu forward, cupped his hands in gratitude, and said.
The woman helped the old man up, waving her hand dismissively, "No need for formalities, it was just a small favor."
"May I ask your name, fairy?" After the giant beast was killed, the villagers who had been hiding nearby stepped forward to thank her. "Would you do us the honor of coming into our humble abode for a short while, so that we may properly express our gratitude for saving our lives?"
"Bai Yuheng." Bai Yuheng waved her hand, and after recovering some of her spiritual power, she smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."
Having said that, he ignored the villagers' attempts to persuade him to stay and was about to leave.
The giant beast collapsed, enveloped in mist, with a golden hue swirling within it. Bai Yuheng's pupils constricted.
"Get out of the way!"
The villagers were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Bai Yuheng, gripping the shovel, took the initiative and charged straight at the giant beast's face. The golden figure in the swirling black mist seemed to smell a familiar scent and tried to break free, but was trapped by the black mist.
The giant beast, driven by the black mist, grew sharp spikes from its wounds, its red pupils turned vertically, and a new hand grew out of the black mist from its severed arm, blocking her attack and slapping her down with a backhand.
Bai Yuheng used the winding vines to dodge. Although the three-eyed beast had three eyes, they were just for show. However, its hearing was superb, and it could always tell her next move from her subtle movements.
Bai Yuheng ended the amplification spell and said to the surrounding villagers who were fleeing for their lives, "Everyone, make noise to disturb it!"
Old Lin and Niu Niu exchanged a glance, then picked up a nearby stone and used it to knock down the scattered farm tools.
The others followed suit. Some struck stones with stones, others shook branches, and although one person's voice was faint, the fire burned brightly with the help of many. For a time, the various noisy and fragmented sounds in the wilderness numbed the giant beast's hearing, and its movements became slow.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Yuheng leaped onto the giant beast's shoulder and vigorously poked its ears with her shovel.
"Aww—"
The giant beast stretched out its massive hand and grabbed her, its three red eyes bulging upwards, its palm tightening as if it wanted to turn her into dust.
Bai Yuheng made a fire spell, and the giant beast loosened its grip, but still held her tightly, raising its hand to put her in its mouth.
Bai Yuheng frowned upon smelling the stench, cursing inwardly, "Eating people at the drop of a hat, how rude!"
The black mist swirled around her, just inches from that foul-smelling mouth. Bai Yuheng's lips curled into a smile. She'd fallen for it.
"The beginning of Qian Yuan, the birth of Qian Yuan, the darkness and yellow of heaven and earth, all return to the One, gather!"
In an instant, the red-clad figure blazed like fire, the black mist was dispelled by the faint golden light, and the giant beast roared and collapsed into dust with a thunderous crash.
Bai Yuheng landed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The wisp of gold floated in front of her, looking extremely aggrieved.
Bai Yuheng wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, narrowed her eyes, and said coldly, "Aren't you coming over here?"
Having said that, the golden light seemed to tremble in fear and quickly burrowed into her forehead, as if afraid that if it was a moment too slow, it would be scolded by her.
The surrounding villagers stared wide-eyed, even their breathing became soft.
"Bang--"
Golden light burst forth.
This forced everyone to cover their eyes for a moment.
Bai Yuheng opened her eyes. The wounds on her body from being rubbed by the giant beast were gradually healing, and the golden lines on her palms had deepened.
Fantastic! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me effortlessly!
Now that this wisp of primordial spirit has entered her body, she can maintain her human form more stably, and her cultivation has also recovered to some extent.
Bai Yuheng was overjoyed.
Recalling the great war between gods and demons a hundred years ago, she used forbidden techniques to seal the demons with her own body and sealed the rampaging demons with her primordial spirit, locking them in the Four Directions Mirror.
Peace was restored to the world, but she was nearly annihilated. Fortunately, with the help of the sect leader and several elders of the Tianyan Sect, she was able to preserve a trace of her primordial spirit in the world.
This primordial spirit, devoid of thought and memory, wandered the world for a hundred years.
It wasn't until recently, when the demon-sealing barrier around the Demon-Sealing Seal showed signs of loosening, that she was able to recover her physical body and some of her cultivation, as a primordial spirit of the same origin automatically absorbed the scattered primordial spirits.
only--
Bai Yuheng stared blankly at her face reflected in the stream.
Time flies like an arrow, and a century has passed since the war between gods and demons. She hardly recognized this face anymore.
The face of someone who was fifteen or sixteen years old.
At that time, she was a cultivator with considerable talent. By the time she attained enlightenment and ascended to become the revered Empress Hengluan in the cultivation world, she had long passed her prime, and her appearance had changed due to her breakthrough.
Bai Yuheng touched the face with a sense of nostalgia. Compared to her previous mature and indifferent face, this face, full of vitality and liveliness, was much more pleasing to the eye.
After washing her hands, Bai Yuheng turned around and found the villagers still watching. She asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"
An old man smiled shyly and asked her if she would like to go back to their village to celebrate.
Bai Yuheng hurriedly declined, saying, "I really have other matters to attend to. Let's meet again when fate allows."
She really had something to do; she wasn't deliberately making excuses.
Because the Four Directions Mirror that seals the demons is located on Wangxian Mountain of the Tianyan Sect, she must go to the Tianyan Sect to find out the situation.
As luck would have it, the Tianyan Sect was recruiting new disciples. In order not to alert them, she decided to use the name she had when she was still a mortal to infiltrate the Tianyan Sect for investigation, and then reveal her true identity when the time was right.
This demon-catching expedition is actually the entrance exam for the new disciples of the Tianyan Sect.
The contestant who captures the most demons within the allotted time wins and advances to the next stage. Only after completing all the assessments can one truly become an initiation disciple of the Tianyan Sect.
Bai Yuheng bid farewell to the villagers, pausing as her gaze swept over a vast expanse of destroyed farmland. The villagers, thinking she had changed her mind, were about to invite her again when they saw her swiftly form hand seals. The fields stirred, and before the villagers could even gasp, they saw the ravaged rice seedlings rise up, looking exactly as they had before the destruction, restored to life.
"Oh, immortal! Oh, immortal!"
The villagers, who were still worried about their crops failing this year, burst into tears and knelt down to thank her.
When I looked up, the benefactor I was thanking had already vanished.
Bai Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief as she returned just in time; thankfully, she hadn't been delayed.
Leaping lightly across the layers of stone steps, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around her, Bai Yuheng was filled with mixed emotions.
The jade stone engraved with the three large characters of Tianyan Sect soared into the clouds. Many new students had returned and stood in large numbers in front of the sect gate. On the high stone steps, there was an incense burner half the height of a person, and the incense sticks in the burner were about to burn out.
*Snap*—ashes fall.
"Thump—"
The precise, deep tones of the bells echoed from the misty, ethereal mountains, their sound resonating far and wide.
"Alright, time's up. Those who return within the allotted time, please come up."
There was laughter and sorrow in the crowd.
As the people moved up to the first platform, the crowd dwindled by more than half.
Bai Yuheng glanced at the colorful crowd, her gaze fixed on the palace on the mountaintop. In a daze, she heard the immortal master continue, "Now, please place the protective bracelets distributed by the sect on the stone in front of you."
Bai Yuheng did as instructed, placing the bracelet on the floating stone groove in front of her. A red light flashed, and the monsters that each person killed, their level, and their deeds were recorded here. A disciple stood in front of Bai Yuheng, taking notes.
She glanced at her records and exclaimed in shock, "Wow! You've captured so many monsters?! And their levels are all so high?!"
Bai Yuheng smiled and nodded.
The disciple praised him and began to write furiously, becoming more and more astonished as he wrote.
"Alright, all disciples, please hand in your notebooks. The rest of you, please rest aside and await further instructions."
"Senior brother, senior brother!" The disciple, whose eyelids were getting tired from counting and whose hands were getting weak from copying, hurriedly cried for help, "This part is not finished yet, please help!"
The immortal master who had spoken earlier came over, took the booklet she had been recording, glanced at the protective stone on which the bracelet was placed, silently made a hand seal, and imprinted the demonic beast that had been displayed onto the paper.
"Qingluo, if you don't pay attention in class, you'll fail the photocopying technique," the immortal master advised her calmly.
Qingluo blushed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
As the two were talking, the protective stone frantically spat out papers, which quickly piled up into a full stack.
The previously composed immortal master was also startled, blinking in disbelief as he looked at the thin and petite girl before him.
He pursed his lips and cautiously asked, "Did you do all of this?"
Bai Yuheng blinked and nodded in response, "Mm."
"That can't be!"
"She's so skinny, I could lift her up with one hand!"
"That's right!"
Some people who had been watching the commotion were stunned before asking questions.
"How could she possibly have killed so many demonic beasts in just one incense stick's time?! Look at her thin frame, she doesn't look like someone who can catch demons. It's already a miracle that the demonic beasts didn't catch her!"
His words caused bursts of laughter from those around him.
The immortal master frowned and reprimanded, "This is an important place in the sect. Keep quiet."
"Immortal Master, you must investigate this thoroughly. Did this little girl cheat? How could she have done it all by herself?!"
"Yes, yes! Immortal Master, you must give us justice!"
The cheers and jeers seemed to indicate that Bai Yuheng had indeed cheated.
"What kind of behavior is this, all this noise and commotion!" A figure stood atop a white crane, like an immortal descending to earth. "Who dares to cheat? I, Dongxuan, will be the first to punish him!"

A note from the author:

Reading Notes:
① A max-level player returns to the beginner village. His initial strength is average, and his true power hasn't fully recovered, but the female lead's strength is still incredibly powerful.
② Ensemble cast [with extensive supporting character storylines], slow-burn [including but not limited to the main couple's romance developing slowly (focused on career), with a large proportion of supporting character stories, more like episodic plots], personal feeling: plot > romance [highlighted [pity]]
③ Regarding character traits: The female lead lacks emotional sensitivity, making her appear colder and more ruthless; the former dignified and kind female lead has become a spoiled, dramatic little girl who is adept at playing dumb to outsmart others; the male lead is truly sinister, cold-hearted, and devoid of any moral compass, relying entirely on his feelings for the female lead; he is possessive, seemingly innocent but actually cunning, and a dark and insane individual; the other supporting characters are also flawed, each with their own shortcomings, and are not perfect characters [cat head emoji].
If any plot point doesn't meet my expectations, it's definitely because my writing skills are lacking and I didn't do a good job. Please be gentle with your criticism. [pity][pity]
*This is my first attempt at this type of writing, so it's a casual review without detailed warnings. If you mind any of the points mentioned above, please proceed with caution! [shy]

Sweet and righteous girl x Love-obsessed villain / Big dog chasing after his wife
Before her sudden death, Zhu Tan, who had been a peony grower for many years, vowed that in her next life she would enjoy life to the fullest and have a sweet romance.
She closed her eyes and soon realized that she seemed to have transmigrated into a book.
She transmigrated into a fantasy novel she had recently read, and even became the daughter of the Cloud Sect leader, a minor cannon fodder character with the same name as her.
The original owner of this body was a delicate and beautiful woman, Zhu Tan secretly chuckled, thinking that she could lie down and do nothing after that...
Can anyone tell me what this "Exorcising Demons and Protecting the Righteous Path System" is?
Zhu - Born with a life of toil - Tan: How despicable!
In a fit of anger, I snapped (〃＞皿＜)！！
With tears in her eyes, she packed her bags and embarked on her journey of leveling up and defeating monsters.

Demon Lord Ying Wuyu is a being feared by all three realms. He is a bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless Asura who kills without blinking an eye.
He suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and nearly exploded and died.
But she was saved by a system called the Love System.
Xiao Ai: [Please claim your Love Manual, host. Let's find sweet romance together!]
Ying Wuyu: "Get lost."
puff--
He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Gentle Xiao Ai smiles sweetly: [Rule number one in the dating manual: Be a gentleman and don't swear at girls!]
"..."
[Please see which romantic partner you need guidance on~]
"..."
Controlled by an unknown force, Ying Wuyu could only lie low, glancing at the delicate and beautiful woman who could be strangled with one hand.
Once he gets rid of this system, he'll slap this world to death.
The Demon Lord at the beginning: I want to kill you.
The future Demon Lord: (wagging his big tail) (looking at me expectantly) Don't you love me anymore? ...You didn't even smile at me today... (looking pitiful)
Zhu-Wuqing-Dull-Tan: Get out of here, get out of here, I cultivate the path of ruthlessness.
Being in a relationship will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

A serious malfunction has occurred at the Skywalking System's task distribution center. At this time, the system is assigning tasks to the host...

Huh?
Why is its host a man?
Or is he a terrifying demon?

Um?
How did my host turn into such a delicate beauty?!
Isn't he supposed to be an arrogant and domineering protagonist?
