Chapter 1

◎I’m Here to Bully Him◎

Fengyue City.

The main city stands on the crystal clear peak of the Cang Mountain, surrounded by spiritual clouds and fairy mist. Houses and palaces are scattered like stars, presenting a magnificent and grand view.

Chi Lu is leaning over the window of a desolate courtyard, anxiously observing the scene inside the house.

Inside the house, aside from the guards, there is a young man dressed in old blue and white clothes, his eyes closed, seemingly unaffected by the outside world.

Chi Lu took a deep breath, tightly gripping the Red Soul Whip in her hand.

Suffering severe injuries, a damaged spiritual platform, and lost cultivation, these would be heavy blows to any cultivator, let alone Jing Shuxing, who was once hailed as a genius sword cultivator.

Chi Lu had heard of Jing Shuxing’s reputation a long time ago. He was the pride of heaven, clear and bright as the moon, as if a banished immortal had descended to the world.

His father is the city lord of Fengyue City, and his mother is a famous genius formation cultivator. He showed high talent in swordsmanship from a young age, and his cultivation advanced rapidly. He formed his primordial infant before he was nineteen.

Who knew that half a year ago, he would suffer a sudden disaster, causing his spiritual platform to crack. After that, his name was no longer circulated in the cultivation world.

During the half year of his downfall, who knows how many people took advantage of the situation to step on him.

Even Chi Lu came to bully him.

Chi Lu is the young sect leader of Lunghua Sect, who was pampered and raised by everyone. She was invited by the city lord to visit Fengyue City.

As soon as she entered the main city, a jade green bracelet appeared out of nowhere on her wrist, which she couldn’t take off no matter what.

The thing that claimed to be a system attached to the bracelet informed her that the world she lived in was a story called 《Heavenly Fate》, which tells a poignant love story between the male and female leads.

She is the stupid and evil female supporting character in the book.

In Fengyue City, she fell in love with the male lead at first sight. After being publicly rejected, she turned love into hatred. Using her identity, she intended to use the male lead’s elder brother as a substitute, torturing him madly while taking revenge on the male lead.

Little did she know, the male lead’s elder brother is the biggest villain in the book. He had a miserable childhood and was cruelly tortured by Chi Lu when he grew up. After being humiliated and abused in many ways, he completely turned to the dark side and almost slaughtered the entire cultivation world.

Chi Lu was the first to die under Jing Shuxing’s hand, and her death was a perfect example of retribution, which made people applaud.

The mission given to Chi Lu by the system was to play the evil female supporting character in the book and follow the classic plot.

Chi Lu strongly protested this until the system released several small lightning bolts in succession, making Chi Lu unable to bear it, and she reluctantly accepted the mission.

[Don’t worry, the famous scenes you are responsible for are almost all related to Jing Shuxing.]

Seeing that Chi Lu was extremely unwilling, the system comforted her: 

[His end is to be killed by the righteous path. You just need to complete the mission step by step, and you can die and escape, without worrying about him entangling with you endlessly.]

At this point in her memory, as if echoing her thoughts, a bracelet of indistinguishable material on her left wrist projected a light screen outward.

【Detected this round of plot: Chi Lu, full of momentum, went to Jing Shuxing’s house to provoke him, poured a bucket of cold water on him, and then scolded him repeatedly.

Uncompleted mission: Pour cold water on his head, scold him harshly.

Please note, host, do not reveal anything about the system, or you will be erased immediately.】

Chi Lu slammed the bracelet against the wall angrily: “How can I lay a hand on a good person who has been tortured like this?”

Suddenly, she had an idea. Taking advantage of the guard’s cultivator walking near the door, she steadied the water cup and knocked on the door three times at the right moment.

With a “creak”, the door opened, and a crimson tide flooded into the room from outside.

Accompanied by the fragments of the setting sun, Chi Lu raised her hand and splashed the water from the cup: “This is a lesson for you. If you dare to be presumptuous, let you taste the taste of a branding iron.”

It hit the cultivator right in the middle.

“Where did this blind thing come from?”

The cultivator glared at Chi Lu fiercely, thinking that she was some outer disciple who didn’t know any better, and raised his hand to teach her a lesson.

Chi Lu flicked her wrist and revealed the jade token of Lunghua Sect: “I am from Lunghua Sect. Lunghua Sect wants to see Jing Shuxing, and I am ordered to come and check.”

The cultivator took the jade token and carefully identified it. His face suddenly changed when he recognized it.

In the entire cultivation world, Lunghua Sect’s status is second to none. Due to its special strength, even Fengyue City, which suppresses other sects with the city lord’s cultivation, is left behind by it.

The cultivator hurriedly bowed to Chi Lu and turned around to run.

Watching the cultivator leave, Chi Lu lowered her head and adjusted her bracelet. On the light screen of the bracelet, only one of the two mission points was marked, and the water splashing item was still shining.

Chi Lu pouted, stepped into the room, and finally saw the scene inside the house clearly.

The dim candle light flickered, casting a thin shadow. A slender and handsome man was sitting on the bed, looking weak.

Chi Lu raised a smile and greeted Jing Shuxing politely: “Hello.”

Jing Shuxing was stunned for a moment, and lifted his eyes towards Chi Lu.

His long black hair was scattered on his shoulders, making his flawless face even paler. His features were so delicate that they didn’t seem human, and his eyes were hollow and dark, reflecting nothing.

The whole person was enveloped in a layer of desolate atmosphere, like shattered colored glaze.

Chi Lu held up the cup, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Seeing his ignorant look, she confirmed her guess.

He couldn’t see.

The cup in Chi Lu’s hand was empty, with no water to splash. She sighed, condensing the water vapor in the air, which slowly filled the porcelain cup.

The water level rose slowly, and for a moment, the room quieted down, and the two could hear each other’s breathing.

Chi Lu felt a bit awkward and tried to make conversation: “I am from Lunghua Sect, I mean no harm…”

Just wanted to splash you with a cup of cold water.

How could she say that out loud!

Jing Shuxing furrowed his brows and raised his hand to his throbbing forehead, enduring the discomfort brought by the tearing of his meridians.

“Cough cough…”

He turned his head away, propping up his body and coughing faintly.

Hearing his painful cough, the visitor seemed to stop her actions, speaking with a worried tone.

“Are you okay? Is there a medical cultivator nearby? I know someone who is highly skilled in medicine, shall I ask her to come and see you?”

Jing Shuxing found her annoying.

Ever since his father personally abolished his cultivation and shattered his spiritual platform, he had been tortured for several months and could not resist.

He had thought that he would never have a chance for revenge in his lifetime, but he discovered not long ago that he had awakened another ability.

Although it could only be used once in a long while, it was fortunately a one-hit kill. He had originally planned to practice on today’s cultivator, but who would have thought that he would be interrupted by the visitor. It might as well give this gift to her.

A chill filled Jing Shuxing’s eyes. Even though he couldn’t see anything, he could clearly sense that someone was approaching him, getting closer and closer.

Chi Lu stood by the bed, looking worriedly at Jing Shuxing’s bloodless face.

His body was too thin, and with every cough, he would tremble violently, like a withered leaf struggling in the cold wind.

She bent down and brought the water to his lips: “You should moisten your throat first.”

Her fingertips touched the corner of his mouth, and Jing Shuxing shuddered, recoiling as if electrified.

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the porcelain cup in Chi Lu’s hand shattered into powder, and a full cup of clear water poured down from the sky, drenching Jing Shuxing.

The cold system voice announced: [Pouring cold water on his head, mission completed.]

This sudden change stunned Jing Shuxing.

Where did the water come from?

There was no intense burning sensation, nor did it take the opportunity to drill into his skin and strike his spiritual platform. Instead, it carried the fragrance of earth, stone, grass, and wood, like a sweet rain falling down.

Jing Shuxing’s expression cracked for a moment. He lowered his head and raised his hand to manage his wet hair, hiding his expression.

“Are you okay, did you get cut?”

Chi Lu was also startled, too late to think about why the cup would explode, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her space pouch to wipe Jing Shuxing.

Water droplets hid in his black hair, sliding down his long, fair neck.

His nose caught a faint fragrance unique to a young girl. He suddenly came back to his senses, while Chi Lu was still focused on wiping away the water droplets, completely unconcerned that her palm had brushed against Jing Shuxing’s cheek several times.
