It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

The Dragon Manor has welcomed distinguished guests today, a prominent figure from the Ancient God Sect. Don't be fooled by the Dragon Manor's status as one of the four great families of Wuji City; that's merely their way of wielding power in the mortal realm. The true pinnacle of power always originates from those immortal sects that don't dwell on worldly affairs.

The Ancient God Cult—you can tell its fate just by its name. There is also an Ancient God Cult in reality, which is an evil cult.

The Long Mansion opened its main gate wide and swept the hall to welcome the distinguished guests of the Ancient God Sect. Even the main seat was given up, with the clan leader Long Zhantian taking the second seat. The main seat was occupied by an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Li Xianyu and the others caught up with Long Aotian halfway and said that Brother Aotian looked very sad, probably because he had encountered something bad. They were willing to help Brother Aotian share his worries and solve his problems.

His words were utterly shameless. Li Xianyu had never interacted with Long Aotian, yet he spoke without batting an eye, while the girl assassin and the Thunder War Maiden looked like they had just eaten a dead rat.

They were old acquaintances of Long Aotian, usually introverted colleagues. Suddenly, they became the protagonists of novels who could do whatever they wanted, which was already quite surreal. Now, they had to fawn over him and act as his lackeys.

Long Aotian was deeply moved, so he took them with him.

Upon entering the hall, Long Aotian sat at the end of the table, with Li Xianyu and the others, who were playing the role of lackeys, standing behind him. Li Xianyu immediately spotted the woman opposite him, dressed in white, with striking features and a somewhat mixed-race appearance.

"This...this...isn't this the War Maiden?!" Li Xianyu turned his head, looked at the Thunder War Maiden, and then at the woman with striking features.

They are seven or eight parts similar.

Thunder Valkyrie frowned: "So, I'm part of his harem now?"

Li Xianyu said, "Don't worry, the female protagonist in this kind of annulment story is actually abandoned from the start. The more outstanding she is, the more she will be trampled on by the protagonist."

Thunder Warrior and the teenage assassin asked, "How do you know all this so clearly?"

Li Xianyu asked in surprise, "Don't you guys read novels?"

The teenage heartthrob said, "Who would waste time reading novels? I'm not a loser."

Thunder War Maiden nodded in agreement as a matter of course.

Li Xianyu remained silent for a long time, then said, "That hurts."

While they were talking, a heated verbal conflict broke out on the other side. When the white-haired, youthful-looking old man proposed to annul the engagement, everyone in the Long family was both shocked and furious, feeling deeply insulted.

Li Xianyu noticed that the veins on the back of Long Aotian's hand, which was gripping the armrest of the seat, were bulging.

Here's what happened: The Dongfang family was a vassal of the Ancient God Sect. The eldest daughter of the Dongfang family had been cultivating in the Ancient God Sect since childhood. As she grew older, she became more and more beautiful, and her cultivation steadily improved. She gained the sect leader's appreciation and was taken in as a disciple.

Such a promising disciple naturally cannot marry the good-for-nothing Long Aotian, so the Ancient God Sect has come to annul the engagement today.

Long Aotian could no longer contain himself. Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "May I ask, senior, you came to my Long family and publicly annul the engagement? Do you have any respect for my Long family or my father? I, Long Aotian, am a good-for-nothing, but even a good-for-nothing cannot be trampled on at will. I will not annul this engagement."

I must say, those words really did have the aura of a protagonist.

The young lady from the East snorted coldly, "Long Aotian, since you know you're a piece of trash, don't even think about a toad trying to eat swan meat. I'd rather marry a pig or a dog than marry someone as lowly as you. A piece of trash who can't even open his dantian and qi sea actually wants to marry me? How laughable, how pathetic, how pathetic."

Her pretty face was filled with disdain, and a slight sneer played at the corners of her mouth.

Thunder War Maiden silently covered her face: "I want to hit this woman just looking at her. What did I do to offend Long Aotian? Why is he trying to slander me like this?"

Li Xianyu guessed, "Long Aotian confessed his feelings to you before, and you rejected him?"

Thunder War Maiden looked up, recalled for a moment, and shook her head: "No, when Long Aotian first joined the company, I helped him a few times. Later, he often messaged me privately, but he always said some meaningless things and talked about topics that weren't relevant. I didn't know how to continue the conversation. Every time we couldn't continue, I would say: 'Hehe, I'm going to take a shower.'"

Li Xianyu: "......."

The hatred is deep and irreconcilable; the slander is not unjust.

While the Valkyrie is a violent maniac in battle, she's anything but violent in her normal state; in fact, she's quite gentle and kind—something Li Xianyu knows all too well. Imagine a shut-in suddenly receiving the care of a stunningly beautiful woman—wouldn't he be thrilled? He'd fantasize that something might happen between him and the goddess, constantly trying to strike up conversations. But the loser's enthusiasm would be worn down by repeated "Heh, going to take a shower," leaving him disheartened.

It makes me feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

"Stop spouting nonsense," the young assassin whispered. "Have you spotted any major flaws? Are you prepared to break ties with Long Aotian?"

Li Xianyu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

Having read this part of the annulment storyline, and recalling the many annulment-themed novels he had read before, it seems that there really aren't any logical flaws.

You're trash, a notorious loser. Why would anyone want to marry you? A woman wanting to marry a rich man is as natural as a man wanting a beautiful wife.

Li Xianyu kept insisting on coming over, but actually she just didn't want to misunderstand this exciting plot. If she guessed correctly, it would get even more thrilling next.

Sure enough, Long Aotian's blood rushed to his face. His face flushed red, his hair stood on end in anger, and his body trembled with humiliation. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Today, your Witch God Sect has used its power to oppress us. I, Long Aotian, have nothing to say, but..."

He even paused to pause, looked around at everyone, and said, word by word: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."

The entire hall fell silent, save for the boy's indignant yet resolute voice, his handsome face etched with unyielding determination.

Long Aotian's solitary figure became the focus of everyone's attention.

Li Xianyu gasped, "This kid is terrifying."

.....

The engagement was called off, that's for sure. How else could the plot move forward?

Long Aotian and Miss Dongfang made a three-year agreement: three years later, they would fight to the death at the Forbidden City.

After the engagement was called off, Long Aotian suddenly became able to practice Qi cultivation. This was kept secret until Li Xianyu accidentally saw him inhaling and exhaling spiritual Qi. He guessed that Long Aotian had acquired a cheat code.

Time flies by, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During the ensuing life-or-death duel between Long Aotian and Ye Liangjing, just when everyone thought Long Aotian was about to suffer another humiliation, the outcome surprised all parties involved. The seemingly useless Long Aotian suddenly rose to prominence, defeating the reasonably skilled Ye Liangjing with overwhelming force, shocking everyone present.

For a time, the whole city was talking about Long Aotian.

Ye Liangjing, whose dantian was destroyed, became the stepping stone for Long Aotian to make a name for himself.

Li Xianyu witnessed the whole process. Watching Ye Liangjing being carried away by the servants and suffering a miserable end, he suddenly wondered if Long Aotian was so engrossed in the virtual world that he refused to come out, not only because he could have whatever he wanted there, but also because he was afraid to face his colleagues at the company after waking up.

Ye Liangjing, a minor villain, had his dantian destroyed repeatedly, experiencing the blows from heaven to hell time and time again. Not to mention his colleagues who later became villains, who suffered repeated family destruction, death, and annihilation.

Once they regain their senses, it would be strange if they didn't chop up Long Aotian.

After being cooped up in the virtual world for more than three months, Li Xianyu and Thunder War Maiden were about to go crazy. Although they might only have spent half a day in the real world, they had actually experienced three months.

The two felt they had been dominated by adult diapers for three months and were on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The virtual world is not entirely without its merits. Being trapped in a mental illusion for a long time, while remaining clear-headed, can enhance one's mental strength. The benefits of increased mental strength include: a more flexible mind, sharper senses, and more vivid imagination when conjuring up erotic stories than the average person.

In addition, Thunder Warrior and Girl Killer taught him many fighting techniques and experience, and Li Xianyu's theoretical knowledge increased exponentially.

Thunder Warrior lay on the table, her short, ear-length hair revealing her snow-white nape and graceful back curves.

She sounded listless: "I'm so bored, I really want to go out, does anyone know how?"

Li Xianyu and the teenage killer shrugged at the same time.

Thunder Warrior spat, "Two unreliable men... if only a peerless hero could come riding on a colorful cloud to pick me up right now..."

Li Xianyu chuckled and interrupted, "Your peerless hero, with red and blue buffs and 100% critical strike chance, will tower dive and take your dog's life in three hits."

After he finished speaking, he was slammed onto the table and rubbed against it by Thunder War Maiden.

Just then, a young maid rushed in, her face filled with terror and tears welling in her eyes. She cried out, "Something's happened! Something's happened! Miss Linglong is in trouble!"
