I've Been Hiding Until I Turned into an Idiot, and Now the Empress Wants Me to Come Out of Seclusion

Lu Ye wakes up as a complete idiot in Blackwater Village, in the Great Wilderness, hated by everyone.

From the start, he catches the village chief's concubine having an affair, gets poisoned, and is about to be tied up by the whole village and drowned as a sacrifice.

At death's door, the soul of the Nine Heavens Empress falls into him. She meant to seize his body, but the Nine Nether Tyrant Body within Lu Ye locks her in, turning her into a portable "power bank"!

"Teach me invincible techniques, or we both die."

The aloof empress has no choice but to grit her teeth and teach him her peerless martial arts and lost medicinal recipes.

From then on, Lu Ye begins his wildly unexpected path as a brutal, underhanded survivor.

By day, he drools and lets people bully him, watching the villagers' wicked deeds with cold eyes as he secretly drains them dry.

By night, he relies on the empress's recipes to temper an invincible body, becoming a terrifying bandit who can tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands.

Then comes the day of the sacrificial ceremony.

The whole village grins savagely as they raise their butcher knives, ready to gut Lu Ye.

At last, Lu Ye wipes the drool from the corner of his mouth, grabs the village bully's head, and crushes it like a watermelon!

"I've been pretending to be an idiot for three years, and you really thought you could push me around?"

That day, Blackwater Village ran red with blood.

Standing atop the corpses of the village's wicked, the Great Wilderness's fiercest "wild dog," with the empress inside him, has been unleashed!
