(Bonus for 200 Monthly Votes)   【You have died.】   【In your sleep, you were murdered by Nangong Liuli with a sword, leaving you to die in a rather unjust manner.】   【With your death, Nangong Liuli achieved the pinnacle of the Heartless Dao, her state of mind achieving perfection and her future boundless.】   【System Commencing Evaluation...】   【As a transmigrator, you have somewhat brought shame to the title by being hopelessly lovestruck and unable to forget a single woman, losing out on many fulfilling experiences in life because of it.】   【In pursuit of Nangong Liuli, you abandoned everything you once had, risking everything to seek her out.】   【Following your departure, your tavern was quickly confiscated by the authorities, leaving the chefs and staff who relied on you out of work.】   【Driven by hormones, your deductive abilities rivaled those of Conan and Sherlock Holmes. It’s as if, in your previous life, you hacked into the school network in the dead of night just to get your crush's WeChat by pulling her student information.】   【You found Monk Liao Ming and learned from him that they were traveling around exorcising demons.】   【Many towns and counties benefited from your jade token.】   【Accompanying Monk Liao Ming on his journey, one night you finally encountered Nangong Liuli. She ruthlessly took the lives of Monk Liao Ming and his compatriots.】   【Upon seeing Nangong Liuli, you began to plead, hoping she would accept your pursuit.】   【Faced with your nonsensical chatter, Nangong Liuli found you exceedingly annoying.】   【Yet, aside from her sect’s mission targets, she couldn't kill indiscriminately, leaving her quite troubled. In a surprising turn of events, she complied with your request.】   【At that moment, you defied fate, traveling from the Song Dynasty to the Realm of Earthly Immortals.】   【Without giving it much thought, you were filled with excitement, yearning to accompany the celestial maiden each day, unaware of Nangong Liuli's plan to abandon you somewhere to fend for yourself.】   【After briefly addressing your questions, Nangong Liuli left you in a village over five thousand miles from Mount Emei.】   【With Nangong Liuli gone, you remained hopeful, dreaming she would return for you.】   【In the village, you found work as a porter, your great strength earning you the admiration of many young ladies.】   【No matter how long you waited, Nangong Liuli never returned for you.】   【Unbeknownst to you, Nangong Liuli had long cast you aside, leading her third-generation disciples in exorcising demons daily.】   【Your longing for Nangong Liuli deepened, growing into an obsession, silently vowing that you would possess her in this lifetime.】   【Out of concern for her, you sought to find Nangong Liuli yourself.】   【Thus, you stealthily stowed away on a transport ship, leaving the village.】   【Hidden Hint: A wandering earthly immortal noticed you, intrigued by your innate strength, and considered taking you as a disciple, but wanted to observe your character first.】   【However, because you left secretly, the immortal determined there was no destined bond between you, abandoning the search for you.】   【At this moment, you defied fate, and your evaluation rose.】   【Your obsessive personality earned you many achievements as well as losses.】   【You killed Lin Gensheng, the Sea Gang's hall master, and with the artifacts and techniques he left behind, embarked successfully on the path of cultivation.】   【At this stage, you defied fate, and your evaluation rose again.】   【Leveraging your powerful constitution, you practiced the Soul-Shadow Technique along an uncharted course.】   【If unbridled, you were fated to become a Corpse King.】   【You witnessed the battle between the Water God and Ghost King, reaping the benefits as you harvested the Ghost King’s head, greatly amplifying the Soul-Lantern’s might, giving you initial self-protection capabilities.】   【By chance, you encountered Nangong Liuli again at Mount Tianzhu; seeing you again, her flawless state of mind cracks slightly.】   【She began contemplating whether your connection was mere coincidence.】   【Faced with the Corpse Cave aura, your active absorption stirred delicate emotions within Nangong Liuli.】   【Since her father's passing, she had never felt such intricate care from anyone.】   【During a struggle with Meng Hongshang over the Immortal Binding Rope, you fell victim to Meng Hongshang's Peach Blossom Cloud Miasma.】   【The crack in Nangong Liuli's heart began to sprout inner demons.】   【You did not exploit the situation to take advantage of Nangong Liuli, resulting in a sliver of goodwill forming within her.】   【However, due to her pursuit of the perfect Dao Heart, this goodwill was quickly extinguished, turning to annoyance.】   【She believed had it not been for you, such emotions never would have surfaced.】   【After dealing with her need, Nangong Liuli hastily departed, hoping never to see you again in this lifetime.】   【You felt a sense of loss for her departure, puzzled by her treatment of you, as she didn't even wish to exchange more words.】   【Secretly observing, Meng Hongshang admired yet simultaneously felt anger—having never encountered a man like you, she envied and resented Nangong Liuli for someone's heartbreak.】   【For reasons unknown, she contemplated making you her servant.】   【Thus, originally intending to leave, Meng Hongshang appeared, abducting you back to Peach Mountain.】   【You were infuriated by Meng Hongshang's actions, yet helpless.】   【When she was attacked by Danfire, you saved her, sparking an unexplainable sentiment within Meng Hongshang.】   【Despite this, she convinced herself she still favored her senior brother, suppressing her unexplained feelings as mere gratitude for saving her.】   【Seeking a swift escape, you began courting Meng Hongshang.】   【Your actions only intensified Meng Hongshang's burgeoning feelings, until even in dreams your image haunted her.】   【As she dreamt of you, you barged into her boudoir, launching an attack.】   【Your blunt words thoroughly shattered her defenses.】   【Her heart, now a shattered mess, had been irrevocably touched.】   【In the time that followed, your care and attention thoroughly filled Meng Hongshang’s heart.】   【A month later, you fully captured Meng Hongshang's affections, leaving no room for others.】   【However, following her past heartbreak, Meng Hongshang demanded an oath, which was affirmed as Thunder Gods acknowledged with a strike of lightning upon your vow.】   【You and Meng Hongshang cherished remarkably happy times, her presence in your heart growing increasingly significant.】   【Seeking an artifact to survive the impending five-hundred-year tribulation, you and Meng Hongshang traveled to Evergreen Mountain.】   【At Evergreen Mountain, you unexpectedly re-encountered Nangong Liuli.】   【Seeing you, Nangong Liuli's inner demon grew stronger, internally lamenting the troublesome fate entwining you both.】   【Baffled, she contemplated why her connection with you was so profound.】   【In your approach, she sought only to evade.】   【In her haste to avoid you, she fled Evergreen Mountain.】   【While disappointed, Meng Hongshang’s presence prevented you from falling into previous sorrowful depths.】   【Determined to secure her place in your heart, Meng Hongshang ventured out to confront her senior brother, seeking his Sect Leader token.】   【Rushing to her aid, you saved Meng Hongshang, obtaining her brother's treasure.】   【To restore Meng Hongshang's vitality, you captured a Ginseng Doll from Danxia Mountain.】   【Coincidentally, Nangong Liuli reappeared, nearly overwhelmed by her inner demons at your sight.】   【She couldn't comprehend her intense reaction to a male despite possessing the Seven Yin Absolutes Physique.】   【As you vied for control over the Ginseng Doll, your cold demeanor nearly pushed Nangong Liuli’s inner demons into chaos.】   【Puzzled, she couldn't fathom why you had become a completely different person from before.】   【Feeling wronged, she developed both hate and affection for you.】   【Meanwhile, the Ginseng Doll clandestinely severed its own hair and escaped as soon as its guardian beast arrived amidst your argument.】   【Unbeknownst to you, the celestial crane was later slain by Nangong Liuli's master, who then took the Ginseng Doll back to Mount Emei.】   【Henceforth, the Ginseng Doll would eternally provide its alchemical blood to Mount Emei.】 Upon returning, Meng Hongshang used the Ginseng Beard you acquired to concoct the Nine Apertures Ginseng Pills, successfully restoring her vitality. While exploring Tianzhu Mountain, you unexpectedly stumbled upon the revelation of Nangong Liuli's father's hidden abode, and the aura attracted Nangong Liuli to the site as well. After seeing you, Nangong Liuli’s inner demons erupted uncontrollably, taking over her consciousness. In an effort to save her, you knocked her unconscious and, along with Meng Hongshang, brought her back to Peach Mountain. When Nangong Liuli awoke, her mind regressed to that of a child, while her mature consciousness refused to assume control, afraid of facing you. With her childlike mindset, you unknowingly started to treat Nangong Liuli like a daughter, building her numerous play areas. When the Emei sect came to retrieve her, her mature mind considered taking control but couldn't bear to leave you and Meng Hongshang, so it pretended to be dead. After taking possession of Nangong Liuli, the Yin Qi from her Seven Yin Absolute Physique exploded, amplifying her inner demons beyond measure, causing the demise of both you and Meng Hongshang. You survived fifteen years after transmigrating, living a life of obsession. Through various encounters, you did achieve something and could say it was worthwhile. Evaluation: The pitfalls of obsession are all-encompassing. … 【Calculating rewards, please do not leave...】 【You have acquired the "Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" talent.】 【There is a conflict between this and your Robust Bull-like Physique talent. Do you wish to fuse them?】 Seeing the option to fuse, Su Mo immediately chose to do so. Having tasted the benefits of fusing the Solar True Fire and Righteous Aura last time, he wasn't about to miss this opportunity. … 【You have selected talent fusion.】 【Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers is fusing with Robust Bull-like Physique...】 【Congratulations, you have acquired the fused talent: "Ten Bulls and Two Tigers’ Strength!"】 【Ten Bulls and Two Tigers’ Strength: Your physical constitution is significantly enhanced, with strength equivalent to that of ten stout bulls and two fierce tigers.】 … With the successful talent fusion, Su Mo instantly felt a surge of powerful energy coursing through his body. It continually fortified every cell, every muscle fiber within him. This feeling. It was exhilarating. Su Mo felt empowered. While his physique remained unchanged, his actual strength had multiplied tenfold. He had truly acquired the "Ten Bulls and Two Tigers’ Strength!" Immediately after, Su Mo initiated a new simulation. This time, his identity was as the son of a county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty, and his talent was the green talent of beguiling hearts. Despite a promising start, the best he’d had in a while, Su Mo, having just completed a simulation, didn’t have the heart to continue watching, so he set it to idle. After setting it to idle mode, Su Mo prepared to head out. He picked up Xu Miaoyin, surprised at how light she felt—like an infant. With increased strength, the perception of weight had dramatically changed for him. Handling her gently, he tucked her in with a blanket, careful not to inadvertently harm the beauty with his newfound strength. Dressing himself, he stepped outside the courtyard. To adjust to this "new body," he needed to master perfect control over his strength, lest he inadvertently injured someone. Seeing Su Mo stepping out, Jade Luo-niang joyfully spun around the spiderweb a few times. “My lord, may I come in now?” Su Mo gently nodded. “Jade-niang, don’t mind me right now.” “I’ve made a breakthrough in cultivation and need to adapt to this strength.” With that, Su Mo began practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Every movement sent shockwaves through the air. This showcased the clear reality of his "Ten Bulls and Two Tigers’ Strength." He figured not even the legendary Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin from the Sui and Tang Dynasties could match up. With enhanced constitution, Su Mo’s stamina was immense, tirelessly practicing till dawn without any fatigue. Not even his breathing showed the slightest change. Jade Luo-niang also realized her lord’s physique had truly strengthened multiple times over, filling her with eager anticipation for the future. “My lord, your endurance is remarkable now!” “With your current strength, I reckon you can take on ten people like Fei Lingshu at once!” “I’m so looking forward to that.” Jade Luo-niang’s comments, constant and single-focused, left Su Mo wondering if she had become addicted to observing him. “Alright, alright.” “All you think about is that.” “I’m going to make breakfast.” With that, Su Mo headed to the kitchen. Jade Luo-niang pouted. Really, he can do it, but I can’t watch? Thinking of her master’s beastly physique, Jade Luo-niang brimmed with anticipation. She was eager to witness Fei Lingshu beg for mercy. In the kitchen, due to difficulty controlling his strength, Su Mo accidentally split a cutting board with his knife. This pained him somewhat. A good cutting board cost about one or two silver taels. Though he had acquired over two thousand taels from Fei Lingshu, it wasn’t to be squandered so frivolously. Having prepared breakfast, Su Mo left a portion for Xu Miaoyin before heading out with a food container. He was off to deliver breakfast to Fei Lingshu. Seeing this, Jade Luo-niang quickly leaped onto Su Mo, eventually shrinking down and nestling behind his ear. “My lord, you seemed quite worn out lately, but now that your physique is enhanced, no need to wait till night.” “Give that Fei Lingshu a real lesson.” “Make sure she’s thoroughly overwhelmed!” “Lift her up to the skies!” (End of Chapter)
