"My darling~ just take me!"
A soft, effeminate male voice came from inside the house, followed by a slightly rougher, also male voice: "It's only been a few days, and you're already this thirsty?"
"Hmph! You just tell me, is it because your haggard wife is controlling you and not letting you go out again?! Oh! You little devil! Be gentle!"
"I thought it was because my kung fu wasn't good enough that you had the mind to think about these other things!"
The night was deep and all was quiet. The creaking of the wooden bed easily penetrated the paper window.
A beautiful young girl, dressed in animal skin, squatted outside the courtyard, questioning the meaning of life.
To be honest, she wanted the clothes drying in the yard.
But now her ears are being cursed.
The girl had long, black hair that was casually draped over her shoulders. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and alluring red lips. She carried a large sword on her back, without a scabbard, only white strips of cloth wrapped around the blade.
After a long struggle, the girl finally managed to leap over the courtyard wall with a light touch of her toes. In a flash, the red dress hanging in the yard had disappeared.
...
The Hidden Continent, a world of cultivation.
In the forest, the red-clad swordsman lightly touched the ground, swiftly passing between the trees without disturbing a single leaf.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the girl was not wearing shoes or socks. When she used her toes to gain leverage, she was condensing spiritual energy into the shape of her feet, rather than stepping on branches and leaves. When she moved, the three gold bracelets on her right ankle swayed and collided, making a jingling sound.
Her name is Chu Hongluan, and she is a transmigrator from another book. Her purpose in going to the nameless immortal mountain in the Southern Region is to kill someone.
He is the young master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion on the nameless immortal mountain, and also the biggest villain in the future, who will bring annihilation to this world in a few years.
Chu Hongluan decides: kill the villain before he fully matures and become a savior.
After all... we're already here.
However, the identity of the young master of the main villain is a bit tricky.
We must proceed gradually.
Soon, Chu Hongluan arrived at Linxian Town at the foot of the nameless immortal mountain.
At this time, Linxian Town was a prosperous place, bustling with carriages and horses, and filled with the sounds of people.
This small town is more than just bustling.
Chu Hongluan bought a bag of osmanthus candy from a street stall and asked the stall owner, "Has Linxian Town always been like this?"
The stall owner, noticing her good looks, cheerfully told her, "Young lady, are you new to the Southern Region? The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's once-a-decade apprentice recruitment ceremony is about to begin! How could it not be lively!"
"A ceremony to accept apprentices?" Chu Hongluan racked her brains but couldn't recall this part of the book.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" The stall owner bent down and rummaged under his stall, soon pulling out a newspaper. "Look, this is the daily newspaper I just bought this morning. It covers all the big and small events that have happened in the martial arts world lately! I've already read it, so I'll give it to you, young lady!"
The stall owner was so hospitable that Chu Hongluan felt a little bad, so she bought two more packets of osmanthus sugar before saying goodbye to the stall owner.
After popping two candies into her mouth, Chu Hongluan took the newspaper the stall owner had given her, found a quiet alley, squatted down against the wall, and spread the newspaper out.
I never imagined that newspapers existed in the world of cultivation.
Chu Hongluan curiously flipped through the newspaper, noticing a logo of the Big Dipper in the lower right corner, with the words "Swift Wind Intelligence Agency" written next to it.
It's a property of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
The book states that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is the most profound of the nine major sects, possessing expertise in Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), knowledge of the past and present, the ability to divine cause and effect, and the skill to predict fate through astrology. Its sect emblem is a diagram of the Big Dipper.
No wonder he can make a living in the intelligence business; he certainly can.
Looking at the time, it's the beginning of the primordial era, the first day of the tenth month. No wonder she doesn't remember the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion opening its doors and accepting disciples; the story in the book hasn't even started yet, has it?
Huh? Wait a minute?
Seeking a son for a large sum of money? Prime shop for rent? Lost dog notice? Talisman shop with limited-time 20% discount?
Why are there ads in this newspaper?!
Even more outrageous, there was a portrait of a woman printed in the upper right corner, with an overall style that looked like the artist had applied a level 10 beauty filter—her eyes were so big! Her chin was so sharp! And the title was: Shocking! A peerless beauty, one in eight thousand years, has appeared in the world!
This looks like they've been paid for!
That's quite the business acumen! No wonder it's the richest of the nine major factions!
Chu Hongluan finally remembered her business and turned her gaze to the largest article in the newspaper, which stated that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would be accepting disciples in three days, with one hundred outer disciples and twenty inner disciples. Admission would be based on merit during the entrance trial, with the top five having the opportunity to become personal disciples of the respective peak masters.
Let's aim for a modest victory then.
She directly joined the main peak of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and became Liu Jinghong's junior sister.
Being in a position of power makes it easier to commit crimes.
Having found her way, Chu Hongluan was no longer in a hurry. With a light step, she leaped onto the eaves, found a shady spot under a tree, and lay down. The journey had been tiring, so she rewarded herself with a short rest.
Linxian Town, Jubaolou.
"Si'er! What good stuff have you brought here today?"
The person arrived before the voice.
Upon hearing the commotion, Chen Si, the manager of Jubaolou, rushed over and repeatedly replied, "Of course it's a priceless treasure! Otherwise, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to specially invite you here!"
Accompanied by Chen Si's obsequious shouts, a luxurious shoe with a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg stepped across the threshold.
The young man, dressed in brocade robes and a jade belt, with a magnificent crown in his hair, was already quite tall and handsome at eighteen or nineteen years old. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with eyes like autumn water and bones like jade, exuding an air of nobility. He gently waved a jade fan in his hand, revealing a touch of the unique free and unrestrained style of youth.
The young master was surrounded by several equally elegantly dressed young men, who addressed him as "Young Master Liu" and "Brother Jinghong" as if they didn't care about money.
