chapter 1

There was a dark fragrance coming from the jade.

The four corners of the red sedan chair were decorated with red adornments. A clear and melodious sound came from the chiming of the bells decorated around the red sedan chair. The entire sedan chair was exuding a sweet but intoxicating fragrance.

Four women clothed in white carried the red sedan chair through the mountains. Their body was light and graceful. There wasn’t even a single speck of dust or dirt on the soles of their shoes.

They were headed to the wooden house on the top of the mountain.

——That was the place where the Devil King will descend.

The limbs of the woman in the sedan chair were bounded by red silk. She was dressed in a gorgeous red dress and her long hair flowed straight down to the floor like a waterfall. She was a stunning beauty.

It was a pity that she was drugged right now, so she couldn’t move.

This woman was Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was the female cannon fodder in the cultivation novel,《Ask and Answer》. She was a spoiled young lady and the younger sister of the male lead. However, she was not biologically related to the male lead in any way. She was also the typical representative of the stereotypical vicious female in novels.

Because she had a pair of eyes similar to the female lead, she tried to seduce the male lead on multiple occasions. In addition to that, she caused numerous misunderstandings between the male and female lead by framing the female lead repeatedly. In the end, she received her karma. She was drugged and replaced the female lead as the female offering for the Devil King, Yin Xuezhuo.

What kind of person was Yin Xuezhuo?

Well, he was the ultimate villain in the novel. He was the most terrifying Devil King created by the world. He was neither afraid of Heaven nor earth. He killed humans and had no regard for human life.

Ji Yan was actually one of the many readers of the novel. However, she had just transmigrated into the novel as the cannon fodder, Ji Yan. She replaced the female lead as the female offering to Yin Xuezhuo.

She felt a dull pain in her skull.

According to the original plot of the novel, Yin Xuezhuo will soon rip open her skull.

He will not use any special technique to rip apart her skull. He will just use his bare hands to do it.

In fact, Ji Yan transmigrated into the novel because of Yin Xuezhuo.

Long story short, Ji Yan lived in the contemporary era where she worked to care for domestic animals. One day, she was introduced to a novel called《Ask and Answer》by a friend. She read the whole novel in one sitting, and after that, she had insomnia for several days.

The novel,《Ask and Answer》was a typical Mary Sue book. The whole book revolved around a group of outstanding and handsome men following behind the protagonist of the book. The female lead, Yin Miaorou was an honest, kind-hearted, and intelligent female lead. Her beauty was enough to cause the downfall of a city or state. Everyone who saw her, loved her. All the outstanding men in the world were crazily attracted to this woman who had a unique personality.

The writing was smooth, and the story flowed nicely. There were some ups and downs in the overall plot, but there were two clichés repeated throughout the story.

The first cliché was that all men would fall in love at first sight. They were even willing to die for her. No matter what the female lead did, they loved her unconditionally. Many of the vicious supporting female leads liked to frame the female lead without thinking things through. As a result, their plan would often backfire, and they would be beaten black and blue by the female lead’s admirers.

The readers’ scalps turned numb as the vicious woman in the novel continued to die out.

In addition to this, the villain of the novel was too painful.

The villain was a nightmare spirit created by heaven and earth. When he was young, he was captured by the sect leader of Kunning Sect. The sect leader took his spirit veins from him because nightmare spirits can naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the world. He “raised” the villain by feeding him spiritual energy and blood from a living person. As a result, the villain turned into an inhuman monster.

The monster still couldn’t speak when he turned one hundred years old. That was until he met the gentle and kind female lead, Yin Miaorou.

At that time, Yin Miaorou was the daughter of the former sect leader. She was adored by the cultivators in the sect. She was innocent and naive, so she wasn’t afraid of how terrifying the villain appeared to look. She was the one who gave him the name, Yin Xuezhuo.

From then on, Yin Miaorou would often secretly visit Yin Xuezhuo. The confused and ignorant Yin Xuezhuo was gradually warmed up to her. He treated her differently from how he treated everyone else.

But happiness never lasts forever.

The sect leader, Taoist Master Ming Shu discovered that Yin Miaorou had been secretly feeding the nightmare spirit he was raising. He wanted to kill Yin Miaorou to prevent her from divulging his secret, so he pushed her down the deep refining abyss.

Yin Miaorou had no possibility of surviving. But just at that moment, Yin Xuezhuo broke through his shackles and flew into the infinite refining abyss and rescued Yin Miaorou from her death.

There was always someone willing to die for a kindhearted and honest female lead.

Shortly after that incident, Yin Miaorou learned that it was Taoist Master Ming Shu who had killed her biological father. She chose to escape from the Kunning Sect and planned on avenging her father in the future. But on her way down the mountain, she became acquainted with the future Immortal Swordsman, Shao Bai.
