Chapter 1: The Words of the Senior Sister are lies 

Wangchen Peak, also known as the Exiled Immortal Peak.  

Legend has it that this was once the place where an immortal ascended, leaving behind a statue of an immortal’s transformation at the summit.  

The time of its existence is uncertain.  

Yet, through the years, celestial music has echoed, and radiant beams of light have illuminated the skies for hundreds of miles, leaving people in awe.  

But such a stunning phenomenon attracts little attention.  

At the very least, this is true for the hunters and common folk at the foot of the mountain.  

Even they know this is the work of an immortal, but why has no cultivator ever set foot here?  

Alas, how could ordinary people know—  

Within a thousand miles of this place, all cultivators are forbidden from entering. 

Violators, even those as mighty as heaven-defying powerhouses, cannot escape death.  

This decree doesn’t come from a single person.  

It is issued by the successors of the greatest forces in both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the holy lands and imperial dynasties.  

Most of them are peerless prodigies, unrivaled geniuses of their time.  

The rest, though fewer in number, are already towering figures in their own right, no less formidable than the older generation.  

What’s even more astonishing—  

These individuals, without exception, are all women.  

Though their time guarding the peak varies in length, Wangchen Peak is watched over every single day of the year, through wind and rain.  

“Phew, she’s finally gone.”  

“Half a month ago, that snow-skinned foreign woman was stationed here. Her entourage called her an empress.”  

“That’s nothing. Three months ago, I saw a white-robed fairy take action, slaying a beast that caused chaos upon its emergence.”  

“You guys haven’t seen what happened half a year ago.”  

“A breathtaking girl in a black lotus dress killed hundreds from a thousand miles away, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to split. They called her… the Demon Lord!”  

“Counting the days, isn’t it time for a new guard today?”  

The hunters at the foot of the mountain chattered among themselves, some recounting tales passed down from their fathers.  

***

At this moment—  

As the foreign empress departed, a luxurious carriage drawn by nine hybrid dragon-horses of rare bloodlines could be faintly seen galloping from the distant horizon.  

At the same time—  

At the radiant summit, a dazzling burst of multicolored light erupted.  

The entire void seemed unable to withstand the overwhelming fluctuations, trembling violently in response.  

Crack… Crack!  

Faint sounds of fracturing emanated from the exiled immortal statue.  

Cracks spread across it, and the statue showed signs of collapse.  

As time passed, more fragments fell, revealing a sight that left onlookers dumbfounded.  

Because… beneath the fragments was fair skin—a living person!  

In the blink of an eye—  

The ground was littered with fallen pieces, and the consciousness sealed within began to stir once more.  

“Where… am I?”  

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes, his pure gaze filled with confusion and bewilderment.  

He vaguely recalled being on campus not long ago, rejecting his senior sister’s confession yet again…  

And then… what happened next?  

Su Chen gently touched his forehead.  

The scene before him was entirely different from the school—a primal landscape with towering ancient trees, a crystalline blue lake, and air so fresh it was almost startling.  

Did I transmigrate?  

Snap!  

As Su Chen hesitated, a crisp sound suddenly rang out nearby.  

Looking up, he saw a graceful figure standing motionless.  

Bathed in sunlight, she shone with dazzling elegance.  

Her bright yellow phoenix robe exuded nobility, adorned with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns, especially prominent where they accentuated her curvaceous figure, as vivid as a living spirit.  

Her fiery, alluring figure was nothing short of devilish.  

This alone wouldn’t have drawn much of Su Chen’s attention.  

After all, he had long grown accustomed to seeing beautiful women…  

But!  

“How… could this be?”  

As Su Chen murmured, the figure approached step by step, revealing something unexpected.  

Beneath the high-slit skirt, her long, shapely legs were clad in—  

A pair of black pantyhose!  

A phoenix robe with black stockings?  

This blend of ancient and modern styles left Su Chen utterly shocked.  

And then—  

Her first words left him dumbfounded.  

“Finally… I meet you again~!”  

Her narrow phoenix eyes shimmered with the mist of a long-awaited reunion, her lips curving into a gentle arc.  

“Junior brother, good morning.”  

It felt like a dream spanning centuries, yet fleeting in an instant.  

Hearing her call, Su Chen was equally stunned.  

“Senior sister!?”  

Ying Qingge covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.  

“Correct! There’s a surprise for you~!”  

“Huh?”  

Su Chen blinked in confusion, still trying to process his senior sister’s sudden change in demeanor, when everything went dark.  

In a flash—  

Ying Qingge hoisted Su Chen onto her shoulder, her figure moving like lightning. 

She stuffed her junior brother into the carriage and sped off without a hint of hesitation.  

Her movements were seamless, like flowing water.  

Neither the hunters at the foot of the mountain nor the empress a thousand miles away noticed a thing.  

Stealing a man required precision, speed, and ruthlessness.  

***

The nine rare-blooded dragon-horses could travel ten thousand miles a day, yet the carriage remained steady, as tranquil as a mansion.  

Su Chen, stuffed into the carriage, stared at the senior sister before him, his face full of confusion.  

So… what’s going on here?  

‘Is Senior Sister getting back at me for rejecting her ninety-nine times?’  

“Junior brother, you must have a lot of questions, right?”  

As Ying Qingge’s voice rang out, Su Chen nodded instinctively.  

In an instant—  

Ying Qingge leaned close, her breath warm and fragrant.  

“This is already another world—a world with just you and me.”  

“Do you understand what I mean?”  

“!!!”  

Su Chen’s pupils shrank, and he subtly removed the jade-like hand that had crept onto his chest.  

Just because you’re well-endowed doesn’t mean you can overpower me!  

Meeting a familiar face in a foreign land is one of life’s great joys.  

But if that familiar face is someone who’s after you… that joy quickly turns to sorrow.  

Su Chen eyed his senior sister’s captivating, predatory gaze, completely overlooking how her beauty had grown even more mature and enchanting.  

“Ah!”  

Suddenly, Su Chen clutched his head, letting out a long sigh before raising his face with an innocent expression.  

“Where am I? Who are you, sister?”  

“Senior sister? You’re my senior sister?”  

“Oh no!”  

As if genuinely caught in a conflict, Su Chen furrowed his brow in distress.  

“My memories are all jumbled!”  

“I must be dreaming. I urgently need a big, soft pillow to wrap around my head and sleep.”  

He glanced at the empty seat, hoping to brush it off.  

“That way I can—”  

Pfft!  

Unexpectedly, his senior sister reached out, grabbed the back of his head, and pulled with force.  

In an instant, warmth enveloped him, along with a suffocating sensation.  

She had delivered a full-on “face-smothering” attack!  

This isn’t the reserved senior sister I know! 

‘Since when did you become so fiery and bold?’  

Ying Qingge leaned close to Su Chen’s ear.  

“What do you think of your senior sister’s… assets?”  

“…!!”  

Su Chen shivered involuntarily, unable to keep up the act after that overwhelming “face wash.”  

But before he could figure out how to handle the situation, he heard her continue.  

“Junior brother, did you know…”  

“It’s been over twenty years since I transmigrated here.”  

“And it’s been a full ten years since I… found you.”  

“For ten years, I’ve been waiting for you to awaken.”  

Her soft, melancholic words sent a jolt through Su Chen’s body. 

Struggling to lift his head from her embrace, he looked at her in disbelief.  

“Senior sister, you mean…”  

Ying Qingge spoke gently.  

“Yes, when I found you, you were already a statue.”  

“I’ve been waiting, waiting for you to wake up, even until the end of time.”  

“Thankfully, you’re awake. Nothing could be better than this.”  

Her brief but resolute words instantly melted Su Chen’s resistance.  

Waiting for me… for ten years!  

How many decades does one have in life?  

Was it worth it?  

As if sensing his thoughts, Ying Qingge smiled warmly and embraced him again.  

“What do you think, my dear junior brother?”  

Unlike the earlier “face-smothering,” this embrace was gentler, warmer.  

Even Su Chen couldn’t help but close his eyes, savoring the reunion with his senior sister.  

***

However—  

What he didn’t notice was the faint, indescribable smile on her face, hidden from his view.  

Heh, I finally nabbed him!  

With the next shift change at least two months away, no one will know about junior brother’s awakening during this time.  

Two months—plenty of time to win him over!  

By the time they find out, it’ll be too late!  

I can’t wait to see their regretful faces!  

I just want to laugh!  

***

Not long after Ying Qingge whisked Su Chen away—  

Beyond Wangchen Peak, the sky churned with surging black energy, a terrifying demonic aura shaking the surroundings.  

The next moment—  

A pair of snow-white bare feet gracefully stepped onto the clouds, as if walking on an invisible staircase.  

The jade anklets on her feet jingled with each step, their clear, melodious chimes sending ripples through the clouds for hundreds of miles.  

Wangchen—Gazing at the Dust, longing for Su Chen.  

This was no arbitrary name but a shared hope for Su Chen’s awakening.  

Now, with fragments scattered on the ground and the place deserted—  

The woman in the black dress stared at the scene, her enchanting purple eyes gleaming with intrigue.  

“Interesting, truly interesting!”  

“Looks like someone got a head start, huh?”  

“Tch, too impatient, senior sister. After all these years, your temperament’s only gotten worse.”  

As she spoke—  

She waved her hand, conjuring an identical statue, indistinguishable from the original.  

“This is how you cover your tracks properly~!”  

When it comes to stealing a man, the fewer who know, the better.  

As for that senior sister?  

Rejected so many times—do you really think you’ve got the upper hand? 

I’ll give you a half-month head start, so what!  

***

At the same moment—  

In the world’s foremost pavilion, the Pavilion of Forgotten Love—  

As Su Chen left Wangchen Peak, a pair of ancient, weathered eyes slowly opened deep within the pavilion.  

“A strange sensation… my path is wavering. Could it be?”

New book, returning to its roots—how to “eat soft rice” with conviction, how a pure-hearted youth struggles to survive among cunning older women, with the whole world as my backing, I can’t lose, but why won’t your favorability toward me ever drop?
