Chapter 28
Five days later, the enthronement ceremony and the empress installation ceremony were held simultaneously.
They were exceptionally luxurious and grand.
Qiu Chi, wearing the bright yellow, ornate robes of an empress, expressionlessly pulled out the System to complain: “I fucking shouldn’t have listened to you.”
She had never seen such a tedious ceremony. Good thing she didn’t have to kneel, or else she would have just gone berserk.
The System was as quiet as a chicken, not daring to say a single word at this moment.
When the ceremony was finally over, Qiu Chi hurriedly took off the restrictive garments.
Yun Jing, who was beside her, stepped forward to help and added, “Tonight…”
Qiu Chi raised her eyes. “I told you not to covet me. I’m not someone you can covet! Agreeing to be the empress was already me being merciful. Don’t you go courting death again!”
Yun Jing said helplessly, “That’s not what I meant. It’s just that today is our wedding day, after all. We can’t possibly not live together, can we?”
“Oh, then we’ll do it like we did at King Jing’s Manor. The bed is mine. You can do whatever.”
“Alright.”
Qiu Chi only acted as empress for a few days before leaving directly. This time, however, she left a corpse for Yun Jing.
System Space.
【Ding! Task completion settlement complete. Score: 30%. Failing. A consolation prize has been issued. Host, please work hard and don’t be too willful!】
Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. “There’s a consolation prize?”
The System sighed: 【No matter what, you did, after all, follow the plot to some extent. But the plot score is failing, so you might have to experience more worlds. There’s nothing I can do about you; I can only let you have your way.】
“You certainly have a clear view of yourself.”
Qiu Chi didn’t care about the reward the System mentioned. After all, to her, it was dispensable.
What she cared about was that aura the System was clearly unaware of. This time, that aura was obviously stronger than in the last world, and Qiu Chi couldn’t help but ponder the reason.
Was it because of her good attitude toward Yun Jing?
Qiu Chi decided that if the male lead in the next world was pleasing to the eye, she could try having a better attitude toward him.
“Let’s go to the next world.”
Qiu Chi opened her eyes to see a sword stabbing toward her. She directly took out her own blade and chopped the incoming sword in half, only then looking at the man who had tried to stab her.
The man was furious. “You actually dare to fight back?”
“If I don’t fight back, should I just wait for you to kill me? Do I look like an idiot to you?”
Not only did Qiu Chi fight back, she directly raised her blade and hacked at the man.
The man wanted to restrain Qiu Chi, but he underestimated her martial strength. By the time he realized it, he had already been hacked to death by Qiu Chi with a single blow.
System: 【There’s no need to be so violent. Couldn’t you have just left? You even killed him, so now we have to start over.】
Qiu Chi snorted coldly. “It’s just the beginning. What’s wrong with killing him to blow off some steam?”
Qiu Chi didn’t just kill the man once; she killed him several times in a row. Only then, upon restarting, did she chop the man’s sword in half, then raise her blade and beat him half to death before floating away.
Before leaving, she left behind a sentence: “See that? With my level of martial prowess, how could I possibly fall for a piece of trash like you!”
System: 【…】 It didn’t dare to make a sound.
This was a cultivation world, Qiu Chi’s home turf.
This story was a master-disciple abuse romance, with the added element of a stand-in trope.
Because Si Ling closely resembled Wu Shao’s white moonlight, he took her in as his disciple. It seemed he was only doing it to reminisce about his white moonlight, but in reality, he was secretly plotting to resurrect her, and Si Ling’s body was the vessel for this resurrection.
He treated Si Ling’s body completely as if it were his white moonlight’s, so naturally, his treatment of Si Ling wasn’t bad. However, Si Ling’s life before meeting him hadn’t been good, so when Wu Shao showed her just a little kindness, she fell hopelessly in love with him.
But this cultivation world could not accept a master-disciple romance. When Si Ling’s feelings for Wu Shao were discovered, Wu Shao planned to take advantage of the situation to kill her, then hide her body away to resurrect his white moonlight.
But after he stabbed and injured Si Ling, something unexpected happened. Si Ling was rescued by people from the demonic path, and as a result, she would once again find herself in a situation where everyone wanted to hunt her down.
The people of the demonic path didn’t rescue Si Ling for love or anything like that. It was because Si Ling had a special constitution, and they planned to use her as a sacrifice to awaken the slumbering Demon Lord.
Even though Wu Shao was about to kill her, she remained infatuated with him without regret. When she learned what the people of the demonic path wanted to do, her first thought was actually whether Wu Shao would be in danger if the Demon Lord was resurrected. Motivated by the desire to keep Wu Shao from harm, she escaped.
After escaping, she didn’t even know how to properly protect herself and actually ran back to Wu Shao to throw her life away. In the end, she successfully learned that she was merely a stand-in and that Wu Shao only wanted to use her to resurrect his white moonlight.
She was in pain, she was conflicted. Then, for the sake of staying by Wu Shao’s side—even if only in body—she willingly agreed.
She voluntarily gave up her body. Only after she died did Wu Shao realize that he had already fallen in love with his disciple, and then he wanted to resurrect Si Ling.
Qiu Chi: “Blech!”
“I’ve never seen someone so brain-dead. Voluntarily running to her death, are you for real?”
The System said awkwardly: 【It’s a deep, abusive love story.】
“Heh.”
Qiu Chi didn’t want to follow this plot one bit. Just looking at it made her feel disgusted, and she wanted to go back and kill Wu Shao a few more times.
Even Qing Yue wasn’t as disgusting as him.
Even though Qiu Chi wasn’t rescued by the Demon Sect and left on her own, she still became someone hunted by everyone in the cultivation world.
The matter of Si Ling falling in love with her own master had already spread, and most people in the cultivation world found it utterly shameful.
Furthermore, the story that Si Ling, flying into a rage from shame after being discovered, took advantage of Venerable Wu Shao’s soft-heartedness to launch a sneak attack, severely injuring him before defecting from the Tianhua Sect, was also spread by the Tianhua Sect.
Not only that, but they also issued a kill order for Qiu Chi.
When Qiu Chi heard this from others, she just felt that the Tianhua Sect was utterly shameless.
“Sneak attack? Do I need to use a sneak attack? I fucking beat him half to death openly and honorably, in front of so many people. Truly shameless.”
The furious Qiu Chi took up her blade and entered the Tianhua Sect that very night.
“Si Ling! You actually dare to come back?”
Carrying her blade, Qiu Chi sneered, “Why wouldn’t I dare to come back? A sneak attack, really? I must have given you too much face. You think I was too merciful in letting you go that day, don’t you?”
“Insolence! Since you’ve come, you can just stay here for good. How dare you act so arrogantly on the Tianhua Sect’s territory? You truly don’t know life from death!”
“Then let’s see who’s the one who doesn’t know life from death!”
Qiu Chi didn’t kill them. She just wanted to get through this world and leave quickly. She had originally planned to go challenge the Demon Sect, but who knew the Tianhua Sect would be so shameless? She was so incensed that she had to come and vent her anger.
The Tianhua Sect believed that Qiu Chi had only succeeded in her sneak attack because she had caught Wu Shao off guard, or perhaps she had taken something to boost her martial power. Therefore, although they cautiously sent many people to deal with Qiu Chi, they didn’t actually take her seriously.
Qiu Chi looked at their disdainful gazes and snorted coldly. Without wasting any words, she directly raised her blade and charged forward to attack.
Those people looked down on Qiu Chi, so Qiu Chi used her actions to tell them not to look down on someone so casually, because she alone could beat a whole group of them half to death!
