My wife is a reborn big boss

It's been almost ten years since I entered the martial world... Wu Qiong sighed inwardly. A transmigrator as miserable as me who's still alive is probably unique on Earth. I don't know if it's luck or misfortune...

......

In the world of "Wulin", almost everyone practices martial arts. With hard work, everyone can reach the Body Tempering Realm, at which point the body's strength, endurance, reaction, and other abilities will be greatly improved.

Afterwards, a small number of exceptionally talented individuals can cultivate internal energy, which will then gradually nourish and strengthen their meridians; this is the Meridian Condensation Realm.

After all the meridians in the body are condensed, one reaches the most dangerous stage for a martial artist: the Opening Acupoint Realm. At this point, there is not much difference in strength compared to the Condensation Meridian Realm, except that one has a bit more eyesight or hearing, etc., and can attack faster, more accurately, and consume less energy than a Condensation Meridian Realm martial artist.

The complete opening of all seven orifices signifies the attainment of the Great Perfection of Acquired Nature, a realm reached by many second- or third-rate sect leaders or local heroes in the martial arts world.

There are very few martial artists in the entire martial arts world who can truly break through the acquired and reach the innate level.

The world after birth is completely different from the world after birth.

Those born with innate abilities can draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth for their own use; a single punch or palm strike can overturn rivers and seas and alter celestial phenomena with ease.

As for what comes after the innate state, no one has seen it for a very long time.

......

Wu Qiong originally relied on his understanding of the plot of "Wulin" to search for various adventures left in the game, but when he arrived at the places, he found that either there was none at all, or someone else had already taken them.

With his chance encounters fading, the only straw he could grasp was the strongest internal energy manual he remembered from the game.

It was originally a set of three gray-themed secret manuals widely circulated in the martial arts world. Each volume contained another part of the manual, and only by interpreting it correctly could the entire set of secret manuals be deciphered.

This manual was originally placed as an Easter egg in the game, so the method to decipher it wasn't included in the game in the previous life. In other words, only Wu Qiong in this world could obtain this manual.

The martial arts manuals in "Jianghu" are divided into seven levels: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and gold. Gray manuals are readily available in Jianghu and can be bought for two taels of silver. These manuals can only strengthen the body, and if one were to practice them, one could only reach the Body Tempering Realm at most. Most ordinary Jianghu practitioners practice this type of manual.

Green manuals are the prized secret manuals of some major sects in the martial arts world, and their appearance always attracts countless people to fight for them.

As for blue-quality manuals, only the most prestigious sects' signature manuals are of this level, making them extremely rare in the martial arts world.

Purple manuals are already the most treasured secrets of top sects, while the higher-level orange and gold manuals only exist in legends.

This was originally the strongest manual in the final version of the game. The manual was divided into three volumes: Volume 1 "The Way of Hegemony", Volume 2 "The Way of Kings", and Volume 3 "The Way of Heaven".

The first volume, "Overlord's Way," is a blue-level manual; the second volume, "King's Way," is a purple-level manual; and the third volume, "Heaven's Way," is already a legendary orange-level manual. When the three volumes are combined, they become the only gold-level manual currently available in the martial arts world.

When Wu Qiong was cultivating the first volume of "Overlord", his internal strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he soon reached the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm.

After practicing this scroll, Wu Qiong was unable to break through to the Innate Realm. As its name suggests, the "Overlord" scroll could not be stopped once the practice began. This was the only drawback of the "Overlord" scroll.

Wu Qiong made rapid progress in the beginning, but before he could break through to the Innate Realm, he could no longer communicate with heaven and earth. Even if he stopped cultivating, his internal energy continued to grow.

If this continues, there will be nowhere for the internal energy to be released. Until one day, the meridians that have been condensed and refined through the opening of the meridians can no longer support it, the whole person will be paralyzed due to the rupture of the meridians.

After that, Wu Qiong hadn't used his full strength for a long time.

"If this were a novel, with such a terrible cheat system and the protagonist suffering so much, all the readers would probably leave. This is such a terrible flop." Wu Qiong thought to himself, lying on the ground, feeling the increasingly intense pain in his stomach: "Ah...so hungry...I want to die..."

......

At noon, a girl dressed in black with a single ponytail was strolling along the official road outside Anzhou City.

She walked casually, her cold eyes seemingly searching for something.

When she saw the figure lying on the ground beside the official road ahead, a smile appeared on her lips, and she quickly walked over.

"..." Wu Qiong lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, looking like a salted fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board.

"Are you... alright?" The pretty young woman quickly stepped forward and helped Wu Qiong up.

"It's nothing... I'm just starving to death..." Wu Qiong turned his head to look at her long legs and said tremblingly.

The girl helped Wu Qiong to sit down by the roadside, then took out some dry food from her bosom and handed it to him, saying softly, "Eat."

Wu Qiong thanked him and took the dry rations, eating them in small bites.

"May I ask your name, young lady?" After finishing his meal and drink, Wu Qiong wiped his mouth and asked seriously.

The girl pursed her lips: "Su Mubai, what is your name?"

"Damn it! How could she be here?" Cold sweat poured down Wu Qiong's forehead. After a moment, Wu Qiong cupped his hands and said, "My name is Wu Qiong, and I am as poor as penniless. I heard that Xien Manor was recruiting guards, so I decided to try my luck."

"I see." Upon hearing Wu Qiong's name, Su Mubai's cold eyes flashed with dazzling light.

Wu Qiong stood up and dusted himself off. "I must hurry to Xien Manor now. I will remember Miss Su's kindness in providing me with a meal and will repay her in the future. Farewell."

"Wait." Su Mubai reached out to stop Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong said helplessly, "Miss, look at me, I'm almost starving to death. I really have no money, and I don't intend to sell my body. Please, have mercy on me and let me go."

Su Mubai narrowed his eyes: "Do you know who I am? Why do you want to stay away from me the moment you hear my name?"

While secretly preparing himself, Wu Qiong replied, "No, no, it's just that the young lady is so beautiful and graceful that I am ashamed of my own appearance and would not dare to be presumptuous."

Su Mubai stared intently at Wu Qiong with his icy eyes for a long time before lowering them: "It's not appropriate for you to go to Xien Manor alone. If we go together, we can look after each other."

After saying that, Su Mubai turned and walked south.

"Oh my god! How did I run into this jinx!" Wu Qiong stood there, rooted to the spot. "She shouldn't be here. Could I be mistaken?"

When he was reviewing the character designs for "Wulin" in his previous life, Su Mubai, despite being a woman, was the final boss of the fourth expansion pack in the game, which left a deep impression on Wu Qiong.

"Why not leave?" Wu Qiong snapped out of his reverie, looked up and saw Su Mubai standing not far ahead, gazing back at him. He gritted his teeth and strode over. "Fine, I'll deal with it as it comes. Taking it one step at a time. Making money is the most important thing right now!"

Su Mubai stared blankly at his disheveled back, which looked as if he were being chased by some primordial beast. Suddenly, he smiled, as if spring had broken, and then followed him with light steps.

......

Su Mubai, the Demon Emperor of the Underworld, is the current successor of the Evil Extreme Sect of the Demonic Path. In her previous life, she possessed astonishing talent and broke through to the Innate Realm at a young age, earning her the reputation as the most promising peerless genius in the martial arts world for a thousand years.

Later, he unified the demonic sects and roamed the martial world with overwhelming demonic power for more than a decade. The name "Yellow Spring Demon Emperor" terrified everyone in the martial world.

Unfortunately, she was betrayed by the demonic sect in the end, and with the combined efforts of various sects from both the righteous and evil paths to fight against the demons, Su Mubai was left to fight against the entire world alone.

Until his final moments.

She then realized that when she looked around, there wasn't a single person around her who truly cared for her.

At the moment of death, all that appeared in her mind was the blurry figure of the person who had always silently accompanied her, yet died because of her.

Thinking of this, for the first time in his life, Su Mubai thanked God for allowing him to live a second life and make up for his regrets.

"Wu Qiong, I'm back."

"In this life, I will not back down again."

I will never let you get hurt again.

"I will never... lose you again."

"And those who hurt you in the past, I will make them pay for it all in this life."

"And...that woman."

Thinking of the figure that had existed beside Wu Qiong in his previous life, Su Mubai's eyes gradually sharpened.

"In my past life, because of your interference, I had a misunderstanding with Wu Qiong, which ultimately led to his death because of me."

"Do you know how desperate I felt when I heard the news of his death in my past life?"

"You turned me into that heartless and emotionless demon."

Thinking of this, Su Mubai narrowed his eyes.

"I wanted to die with you back then, but you didn't expect it, did you? I'm back!"

"In this life, I will personally destroy everything you have, and repay you for all the pain I once felt!"

"Li Jianshi!"
