Gu Jiao fell ill.

With her unusual constitution, this was the first time in her life that she had ever been so seriously sick.

Her fever soared to forty-one degrees, and holding her felt like clutching a scalding little furnace.

Godfather, in a rare moment, went into the kitchen and cooked her a pot of vegetable-and-meatball soup with ginger slices.

Gu Jiao took one sip and instantly sobered up.

Her head stopped buzzing, her nose cleared, and cold sweat broke out in layers.

It was truly… catastrophically terrible.

“The effect seems pretty good.” Godfather said as he watched her dazed eyes regain clarity, “I’ll make it for you again tomorrow.”

In order to avoid being poisoned by the godfather’s dark cooking a second time, her body forcibly broke the fever that very night.

It was as if even her cells could not tolerate his cooking skills.

Godfather did not let her return to the organization immediately, and she recuperated in the medical bay for a full month.

During that month, she unlocked quite a few new skills, such as cooking, such as drinking, and such as songs from a hundred years ago.

Her alcohol tolerance was terrible, and she got drunk after just one sip.

When drunk, she was anything but quiet, striking a flashy pose with a wine bottle in one hand and planting one foot dominantly on the table as she shouted, “Little Anni! Music!”

A cute AI voice responded, “Preparing to play music for you.”

Godfather sat expressionlessly on the sofa, watching someone throw a drunken tantrum.

Godfather had accidentally discovered a year earlier that the consciousness of Annihilator had not completely dissipated, but after enduring the impact of a black hole and a journey through outer space, its awareness was extremely weak and worked intermittently.

Yet somehow, whenever she called it, it responded.

It had even defaulted to the nickname she gave it.

So that explained how she knew her blood was of great use to him… case solved.

No matter how much one guards against danger, it is hardest to guard against a thief within the house.

She sang with complete immersion.

She raised her hand in a fluid gesture, moved over to his side, stared straight at him, and in the blink of an eye switched into an operatic tone, singing, “Amidst flowers and splendor~ she sings of meeting an old friend in a foreign land~ step by step, line by line, all is longing~ the people below the stage celebrate a top scholar’s success~ yet do not recognize the old acquaintance upon the stage~ he speaks of the wedding chamber lit by candles~ as everyone congratulates the beauty matched with the talented man~ never hearing a single sigh from the play, where there is a lovesick fool~.”

Her acting on ordinary days was terrible beyond measure, yet when it came to singing, she somehow had a bit of genuine flair.

A single backward glance accompanied by a smile, capable of stirring a hundred charms, was likely nothing more than this fleeting, effortless allure.

He lowered his eyes and took a sip of the champagne in his glass.

His alcohol tolerance was excellent, yet at this moment, he seemed to be slightly drunk as well.

Gu Jiao looked at him with hazy eyes and said, “If you went to ancient times, you’d definitely place first in the imperial exams, mm… the martial top scholar! Then I’d be a top scholar’s wife, hehehe.”

She laughed like a silly little fool.

Godfather thought coldly that she was so drunk she did not even know what she was saying.

Another hour passed before Gu Jiao finally quieted down, and he assumed she had exhausted herself, so he stood up and planned to tidy the place.

Unexpectedly, she leaned close in front of him, clasped her hands behind her back, lifted her flushed little face, stared at him without blinking, and said, “I’ll tell you a secret, I like you.”

Her voice was very soft, tinged with a faint drunken slur.

Godfather was slightly taken aback, but his tone remained steady as he said, “You’re drunk.”

An AI voice sounded, “Warm reminder, the medical system has detected that your heart rate is too fast, do you require emergency treatment?”

Godfather shot a fierce glare at the camera on the wall.

Gu Jiao continued to look at him stubbornly.

There was not the slightest change in her Godfather’s expression, still cold as snow, as he said, “Don’t forget the rules of the organization.”

Gu Jiao said, “I’ll like you in secret and not let them find out.”

Godfather replied coldly, “It’s useless even if you like me, I will never be with you, and since you already knew long ago, you should understand that I’ve been using you all this time, and that I blocked the gun for you only because I needed you alive… so that one day you could extend my life for me.”

In the living area of the medical bay, a song suddenly began to play, “I say one thing but mean another~ did I make you sad~ I only use harsh words to disguise the softness in my heart~ I didn’t mean to ignore you~.”

Godfather’s face darkened.

Gu Jiao stared at him stubbornly and said, “I don’t believe you.”

He brushed past her coldly, his voice icy as he said, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, it’s impossible for me to like you.”

The music in the medical bay switched again, “Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh~ yeah~ yeah~ I love you more than I can say~ Oh, donʼt you know I need you so?~ Oh, tell me please, I got to know~ Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh~ I love you more than I can say~.”

Godfather clenched his fist through gritted teeth.

A, Nni, Hi, La, Tor!

Without looking back, he left the living area, leaving Gu Jiao standing there alone.

Annihilator continued recklessly, seamlessly switching songs, “For the pain of clinging to love~ for the wounds of clinging to hate~ I can no longer tell love from hate~ is this how it ends~ blood and tears sliding down together~ my heart shatters and weathers away~ trembling hands that cannot stop~ unable to forgive~.”

Godfather finally snapped and shut down the intelligent mode in a single second.

Annihilator: “Ying~.”

……

Godfather went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, yet the heat churning inside his body refused to dissipate for a long time.

The people of the K93 Star System possessed extremely long lifespans, and the desire for reproduction embedded in their genes was not particularly strong, which made it harder for them to fall into romantic entanglements.

Moreover, the more powerful a person was, the harder it was for them to be moved by feelings.

So was it that he had become weaker, or that after staying on this planet for too long he had gradually been assimilated by them?

He stood beneath the shower as icy water mercilessly poured over his taut, well-defined body.

At one meter ninety-five tall, years of constant training had given him a physique that made blood surge, with sculpted pectorals, eight-pack abs, and a sharp V-line, everything perfectly proportioned and brimming with restrained power without the slightest excess.

Even the lines of his arms were tight and distinct.

He stood there for a full hour before finally forcing that surge of burning desire back down.

The medical bay had a water purification and circulation system, so there was no need to worry about wasting water resources.

It was just that the time he spent was far too long.

Was he really that unsatisfied?

Even more tragically, just as he had finally calmed down, the moment he opened the hibernation pod he discovered that Gu Jiao was actually lying inside it, already fast asleep.

This girl… was she so drunk that she could not even recognize her own hibernation pod?

“Annihilator.”

He spoke, but the AI did not respond.

Only then did he remember that he had shut down the intelligent mode.

He fixed his gaze for a moment on the little girl who was drunk to the point of complete unconsciousness, then lay down beside her without revealing a single trace of emotion.

The hibernation pod was spacious enough for one person, but with two people inside, they had to lie pressed tightly together.

She was lying on her side, her soft body pressed against his dangerously sensitive physique.

Feeling the change in his body, he closed his eyes helplessly, realizing that the hour-long cold shower had been entirely in vain.

Her gentle fragrance seeped in everywhere, like a poison that muddled the mind, the more he resisted it, the deeper it sank into his bones.

His finely shaped Adam’s apple slid.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.

You’re the one who slept in the wrong place, so don’t blame me for not holding back.

He abruptly propped himself up, reached out to cup her tender face, lowered his head, and kissed her with undisguised dominance.

Summary:

Xuan Zhi transmigrated into a world where the cultivation of “Supernatural Talismans” was a central practice. In this world, Talisman Masters could use talismans to summon gods, exorcise ghosts, command demons, and control the five elements, making this profession universally acknowledged as the No.1 most promising career in the cultivation world.

When she arrived, she was dressed in red bridal clothes, sitting in a bridal carriage, holding her ancestral “Celestial Talisman,” and preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Yun Clan of Eastern Zhou.

According to the original plot, after marrying into the Yun family, she would be restrained and effectively placed under house arrest in the name of the “three obediences and four virtues,” her husband would change from the Second Young Master Yun on the marriage contract to the abusive Third Young Master Yun, and she would eventually be tormented to death.

Meanwhile, the Yun family would seize her “Celestial Talisman,” summon wind and rain with it, and leap to become the number one great clan in Eastern Zhou.

Xuan Zhi: “Wouldn’t it be better for me to summon gods myself? Why should I give good things to others?”

***

Xuan Zhi: “Great Sage, I’ve been your fan since I was little!”

The “Celestial Talisman” rumbled, releasing a swirling cloud that carried her one hundred and eight thousand li before she plummeted headfirst straight into the main villainʼs bath.

Xuan Zhi: “I beseech True Lord Erlang to save my life!!”

The next moment, a dog paw suddenly struck her face, barking fiercely as it tore apart every malevolent spirit and sinister creature that surrounded her.

Xuan Zhi: “I may not be able to summon the great gods themselves, but I can summon their little pets and treasures.” (Forced smile.jpg)

Other characters in the book: “Just what kind of gods is she summoning?!!”

Xuan Zhi: “Sorry, my mythology runs on different lore.”

***

One day, Xuan Zhi finally summoned a god everyone recognized.

The Northern Abyss Ghost Emperor emerged amid countless evil spirit followers, clad in a black flame-edged robe with dancing sashes, his dark red eyes radiating a commanding, kingly aura, so imposing it seemed he was a different person from the one chased and bitten by a dog naked that day.

He held a divorce letter in his hand and sneered. “Part ways amicably, and live our own lives in peace?”

His sinister gaze locked onto Xuan Zhi. She snatched the letter, tore it to pieces, then shyly threw herself into his arms and squeezed out tears. “Boohoo, you devil, why did you come so late? Look, they all bullied me!”

Shentu Tao: “……”

Everyone she pointed at backed away in panic. “Good heavens, who is bullying who?!”

==============================================================

Summary:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
