[Here for the gossip! All kinds of explosive, jaw-dropping scandals! Come feast, princesses!!]
The Immortal Spirit Continent.
In a patch of lush undergrowth on the outskirts of the Divine Seclusion Mountains.
A breathtakingly handsome young man lay on his back, his eyes tightly closed as he remained unconscious.
His cool, moon-white robes were speckled with crimson blood. The blood at the corner of his mouth lent his thin lips a decadent allure, while the two scabbed wounds on his handsome face did nothing to diminish its moonlit beauty.
Instead, his battered state gave him an intense, devastatingly tragic beauty. He was still unfairly gorgeous.
[Ding—] [The ruler of the inner Divine Seclusion Mountains is a White Tiger Demon Venerable who has taken human form and reached early-stage Mahayana. His wife is a Yellow Tiger who has also taken human form at early-stage Mahayana. This tigress thinks her husband has a terrible temper, so she secretly hooked up with a Snake Demon at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence behind his back. The Snake Demon *, performs well, and has a gentle disposition. The tigress is extremely satisfied.]
[Unfortunately, you don't have any points right now, host, so you can't upgrade the system's functions. Otherwise, I could set up a little livestream for you.] The system's voice was full of regret.
The delicate brows of the unconscious, battered beauty, Tang Yan, twitched, but he did not wake.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, however, a tiny, exquisite version of him in white sat on the ground with his chin propped in both hands. His mouth twitched violently at those words.
"???"
A l-live broadcast of those two together?! (‧_‧?)
Yikes! That image was so spectacular he didn't even dare imagine it!
And what kind of system had he bound himself to?
Tang Yan spoke helplessly. [I don't want to watch, so don't bother. And you don't need to emphasize how many the Snake Demon has or what they're like. I don't need to know.]
[Hehehe~~] The system gave a suggestive chuckle and continued reporting the two tigers' juicy scandal.
[The White Tiger thinks his wife is wild and vulgar, so he's found himself a dainty little mistress behind her back, too. While his wife is with the Snake Demon, he's with his little Fox Tribe mistress.]
Tang Yan: "..." Were even demonic beasts this outrageous these days?
[So, could you do something useful? Like help me regain consciousness?]
It had already been two days and two nights since Tang Yan transmigrated into this body.
The moment he arrived, he inherited a wreck of a body with a gaping hole in its abdomen. His spiritual root had been ripped out, his Golden Core dug out, and his cultivation destroyed, leaving him a cripple who could no longer survive without food.
Two whole days and nights! He was hungry enough to eat an entire cow!
God only knew why he could still feel overwhelming hunger and agonizing pain all over his body when only his consciousness was awake.
The system's gossip was juicy and explosive, but he wasn't remotely in the mood for it right now!!
In the modern world, he had been a top entertainment star with over a hundred million fans.
The day before yesterday had been his birthday. His eldest brother had just given him a customized, top-of-the-line sports car worth three hundred million, and he hadn't even touched it yet.
That night, he browsed V-Blog on an alternate account. Right after devouring a freshly exposed scandal about his nemesis, he came across an absurdly melodramatic cultivation romance novel that had written him into its "she runs, he chases, she can't escape" plot.
Its title was mortifying: "Run, Alluring Fairy! The Repressed Immortal Venerable's Domineering, Forced Love."
Tang Yan assumed that even if he wasn't the male lead, he would at least be a gentle, devoted second male lead.
But fucking hell!
He was actually the novel's number-one sucker, a cannon-fodder second male lead who was the ultimate simp!
Naturally, he wasn't simping for the female lead, but for the villainous second female lead, another enemy of the protagonists, commonly known as the vicious, brainless female supporting character.
Just how far did his simping go?
Far enough to have his eyes gouged out and his Nascent Soul dug out, shield the second female lead from lightning tribulations and attacks, offer up his vital blood, and hand every fortunate opportunity he received over to her.
When the second female lead fell for the male lead, he even helped her devise plans and delivered her to the male lead's bed. If she so much as farted, he would mindlessly praise it as fucking fragrant.
In the end, all that simping left him with nothing: his soul was annihilated and scattered, without even a speck of ash remaining!
Fuck! That idiotic, brain-rotting plot had nearly infuriated Tang Yan to death.
His fingers flew as he hammered out a lengthy rant criticizing the brain-rotting plot, throwing in a few choice greetings for the little anti-fan who had written the novel.
Then, for fuck's sake, his vision went black the very next second, and he transmigrated!
He became Tang Yan himself, the novel's simping champion of pure love!
Right from the start, he was caught up in a cultivation clan's scandal over its real and fake legitimate heirs.
Tang Yan was the fake young master. The real young master believed he had stolen his identity, resources, and glory for over twenty years.
What was more, Tang Yan was the Tang Family's most dazzling, peerless prodigy, renowned across the entire Immortal Spirit Continent.
He had formed a high-grade Golden Core at twenty-five and claimed tenth place on the Immortal Spirit Continent's Heavenly Prodigy Rankings with a mere peak Golden Core cultivation.
The real young master's heart burned with hatred and jealousy.
When Tang Yan happened to leave on a training journey, the real young master secretly brought men along to follow him without the family's knowledge.
Once they reached an uninhabited part of the Divine Seclusion Mountains, he ordered his Divine Incarnation bodyguard to seize Tang Yan, rip out his spiritual root, dig out his Golden Core, and destroy his cultivation.
Tang Yan had originally had a Divine Incarnation old monster guarding him at all times as well, but after the scandal over the real and fake young masters, the Tang Family had withdrawn that guard.
In the plot, after his Golden Core was dug out, Tang Yan spent three years as a cripple whom anyone could bully and humiliate.
Three years later, he obtained an opportunity to cultivate again. Yet after reaching Nascent Soul in his second attempt at cultivation, he willingly dug out his own Nascent Soul for the second female lead and gave it to her.
Later, when the second female lead went blind, he gouged out his own eyes as well.
At last, his soul scattered and he vanished into dust, no longer able to offer her anything.
Inside his sea of consciousness, the palm-sized handsome little figure wiped the corners of his eyes. His brows drooped, and sparkling tears brimmed in his beautiful, peach-blossom eyes, making him look utterly pitiful.
(๑˙―˙๑)
Sob, sob~~ It was all right. He would stay strong!
Just then, a rustling sound reached his ears, followed by the familiar voice of the system. Its mechanical tone was bursting with excitement, as if it had been pumped full of stimulants.
[Ding—] [Host, there's gossip! Huge gossip!! And it's a huge, huge, HUGE scandal about you!!]
It was nothing but a string of data, so who knew why gossip made it this excited?
Apparently, anything with thoughts and consciousness, whether human or otherwise, loved gossip.
Tang Yan waved his little hand weakly. [Out with it!] Since he couldn't wake up, he might as well enjoy some gossip for now.
[Someone's coming. They're here for you, host.]
Tang Yan: [...No shit.]
"Hahaha, Tang Yan! We finally found you."
With that arrogant, excited voice, how could he not know they were here for him?
The system said, [Bad news: these two lackeys were sent to hunt you down by Tang Feiyang, the real young master who dug out your Golden Core.]
Tang Yan's heart settled. What was coming would come eventually.
[The good news is, they won't do anything to you for now...]
The system paused to catch its breath, then continued gleefully, [Because they've taken a fancy to your chastity. You're about to lose it!]
Tang Yan: [...] Fuck! You really fucking know how to drag out a sentence! ⚆_⚆?
The exquisite, handsome little figure's eyes flew wide with terror, and his tiny body trembled several times in fright.
Even his clear, melodious voice rose in fear. [That's what you call good news?!!]
The system said, [Yep! You don't have to die just yet, host. Isn't that good news?]
Tang Yan: [...] Fuck! He'd rather just die right now!
