   The first two books are currently being updated. The first one is about the female protagonist returning to university to save her "idol" and deal with a manipulative woman; there are many potential romantic pairings 🤗, subtly hinting at something. The second one is a lighthearted, sweet romance. The third and fourth books are completed. The fourth one is about the female protagonist being dissatisfied with her boss and having her best friend win him over. Meanwhile, to prevent the female protagonist, nicknamed "Steve," from interfering with his plans, the boss introduces her to his best friend 🤭. I highly recommend the first and fourth books.

    Accused of stealing the elixir? I swallowed it with my own hands! Lu Xuantong was falsely accused of stealing the elixir, and the entire sect took advantage of his misfortune, sentencing him to twenty years of hard labor in the Demon Suppression Abyss. On the day he entered the abyss, he accidentally activated the Devouring Demon Art, turning the ancient ferocious demon into his cultivation. The Heavenly Sword Sect thought he was long gone, but twenty years later, the Demon Suppression Abyss trembled, and he emerged from the blood-soaked abyss. His former enemy had become the leader of the righteous path, looking down at him: "Demon, why haven't you submitted yet?" Lu Xuantong chuckled and flicked his finger, and the myriad demons behind him submitted: "You tell me... Who is the demon?" --- On the bluestone plaza, the wind blew, carrying the unique chill of the mountain peak, but it couldn't dispel the almost tangible contempt and clamor. Lu Xuantong knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, each breath causing a burning pain in his chest and abdomen. Blood mixed with cold sweat slid down his forehead, hitting the cold ground and spreading a small patch of dark red. The bottles of "Supreme Spirit Gathering Pills" that rolled out of his tattered storage bag, exquisite jade bottles with swirling pill halos, now felt like red-hot irons, searing his very soul. Framing. So clumsy, yet so deadly. He looked up, his vision blurring as he swept over the faces—faces filled with anger, mockery, or schadenfreude. Those faces that had once trained alongside him, shared drinks, and addressed him as "Senior Brother Lu" or "Junior Brother Lu"—now seemed distorted and unfamiliar. Their voices surged like a murky tide, threatening to engulf him completely. "The evidence is irrefutable! Lu Xuantong, what else do you have to say?" Cui Hao's voice was icy, filled with undisguised pleasure. His longsword remained firmly pointed at Lu Xuantong, its tip gleaming coldly, locked on his throat. A metallic taste rose in Lu Xuantong's throat; he forced it down, his gaze fixed on Cui Hao, uttering each word slowly and deliberately: "I... Didn't... Steal!" His voice was hoarse, yet held an undeniable stubbornness. "Stubborn to the end!" A sinister glint flashed in Cui Hao's eyes, seemingly displeased that he still dared to be defiant. He stepped forward, about to use his methods again. "Enough." A detached and authoritative voice rang out, not particularly loud, but instantly silencing all the noise. The crowd spontaneously parted to make way. A middle-aged cultivator in a black Daoist robe, with a simple and ancient face, walked slowly forward. His aura was profound, and his gaze held an inherent authority; he was none other than Zhao Qiheng, the Elder of Punishments of the Heavenly Sword Sect. All the disciples, including Cui Hao, immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Elder Zhao!" Zhao Qiheng's gaze swept across the scene, lingering for a moment on Lu Xuantong, then sweeping over the glaring pill bottles on the ground, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. "I know the reason for this," he said, his voice devoid of any emotion. "Lu Xuantong, as an inner disciple, you stole a precious treasure from the Alchemy Pavilion, violating sect rules and tarnishing the sect's reputation. Do you plead guilty?" Lu Xuantong straightened his back abruptly, the movement almost exhausting him, yet he still held his head high: "Elder, please be wise! This disciple never set foot in the Alchemy Pavilion to steal pills; this is a frame-up! Please investigate thoroughly!" Zhao Qiheng looked at him silently, his eyes deep, as if weighing something. The square was eerily quiet, save for the howling wind. After a moment, he slowly shook his head, his voice carrying a cold, judgmental tone: "Caught red-handed, in full view of everyone. How dare you try to deny it?" Lu Xuantong's pupils constricted, his heart sinking. "Considering your past service to the sect, I will spare your life." Zhao Qiheng's voice continued, like an ice hammer striking. "From this day forward, you are stripped of your inner disciple status and your cultivation is abolished..." A suppressed gasp rippled through the crowd. Abolished cultivation—in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, what difference was there between death and non-death? Lu Xuantong's nails dug deeply into his palms, blood seeping from between his fingers. However, Zhao Qiheng's words were not yet finished. "... Imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Abyss for twenty years, as a warning to others!" The moment the words "Demon-Suppressing Abyss" were uttered, everyone gasped. Their gazes towards Lu Xuantong instantly shifted from contempt to utter pity, even a hint of indifference as if looking at a dead man. That was the forbidden ground of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and also the most infamous and deadly place on the Cangxuan Continent! Within the abyss, demonic energy raged, countless fierce souls and vengeful spirits roamed, and there were even terrifying demons suppressed for countless ages. Let alone twenty years, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be lucky to survive a year inside. A Qi Refining stage disciple whose cultivation has been crippled would likely be instantly corrupted by demonic energy, reduced to a skeleton, or even become a demonic puppet! This was a sentence more cruel than the death penalty! Lu Xuantong swayed, a bone-chilling cold shooting from his feet to the top of his head. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Zhao Qiheng flicked his sleeve. An irresistible force crashed down, slamming into his dantian. "Pfft—!" Lu Xuantong spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily to the ground several feet away. The already chaotic spiritual energy within his body instantly collapsed, his meridians tore apart inch by inch, and his years of hard-earned cultivation rapidly vanished like a receding tide. The intense pain and weakness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and his vision quickly went dark. Before losing consciousness, the last thing he saw was Cui Hao's undisguised, triumphant, sinister smile, and the numb or gleeful eyes of his fellow disciples around him. ... His consciousness sank and sank in endless darkness and pain. He didn't know how much time had passed when the biting cold and the nauseating stench forcibly jolted him awake. Lu Xuantong opened his eyes with difficulty. All he saw was a blur. High above, a faint sliver of light shone—the mouth of the abyss. All around him was an endless expanse of darkness, jagged rocks resembling the fangs of a ferocious beast. Black demonic energy, like a thin mist, permeated the air, wisps attempting to seep into his pores. The air was filled with mad roars, venomous curses, and a teeth-grinding grinding sound, emanating from the deeper reaches of the abyss. This was the Demon-Suppressing Abyss. He moved his fingers; his body felt like it was falling apart. His dantian was empty, piercing with a needle-like pain. His cultivation was destroyed; he was now weaker than an ordinary mortal. Was it over? Despair, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around his heart. Just as his consciousness was about to be swallowed by darkness again— [Ding!] "Host detected to be in a desperate situation of being eroded by ten thousand demons, meeting the conditions... Eternal Devouring Demon Art, activated!" A cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his mind. Immediately afterward, a vast, chaotic torrent of information, filled with endless devouring desire, forcibly surged into his sea of consciousness. "Ugh—!" Lu Xuantong clutched his head, letting out a painful howl, feeling as if his soul was about to be burst by this information. But at the same time, his previously barren and lifeless dantian suddenly generated a strange suction force. A wisp of black demonic energy that was wandering nearby was captured by this suction force and "whoosh" entered his body. The expected excruciating pain of his meridians being corroded by demonic energy did not come. After entering his body, the wisp of demonic energy was instantly shattered and purified by the strange suction force of his dantian, transforming into a weak but incomparably pure energy that merged into his parched meridians, nourishing his damaged body. Although weak, it was real! The feeling of weakness seemed to lessen slightly. Lu Xuantong abruptly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes flashing with disbelief. This…this is… He subconsciously tried to circulate the domineering technique called the "Eternal Devouring Demon Art" in his mind. Buzz! The suction force in his dantian suddenly intensified! More demonic energy was drawn in, like streams flowing into a river, surging wildly towards his body, then being rapidly devoured and refined! "Roar—!" Not far away, a blurry, low-level demonic creature formed from negative emotions and remnant souls seemed to be attracted by this abnormal fluctuation, letting out a sharp screech and lunging forward with bared fangs and claws. Normally, Lu Xuantong could destroy it with a flick of his finger. But at this moment, he was so weak that he could barely stand. Seeing the demonic creature's claws about to touch his face, a ruthless glint flashed in Lu Xuantong's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, circulating the demonic art to its limit, his right hand suddenly reaching out and grabbing the demonic creature's core! "Devour!" A devouring force ten times stronger than absorbing free demonic energy erupted! The demon let out a piercing scream, its body twisting violently, black energy scattering wildly and being greedily absorbed by Lu Xuantong's palm. Within a few breaths, the demon completely vanished, transforming into a torrent of pure energy that washed over his limbs and bones! *Crack.* It seemed as if some barrier within his body had been broken through. First level of Qi Refining! Although far inferior to his previous ninth level, this power was undeniably real! Moreover, it possessed a domineering attribute that devoured everything! The feeling of weakness receded like a tide, replaced by a newfound power, and… a chilling killing intent that looked down upon this demonic land! Lu Xuantong slowly straightened up. He wiped the dried blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at the endless darkness and the shadowy abyss, a smile appearing on his face for the first time. That smile was cold, ferocious, and tinged with madness. He gazed at the sliver of light above, as if piercing through endless distances, seeing the Heavenly Sword Sect, Cui Hao, Zhao Qiheng, and all those who had kicked him while he was down. "Cui Hao… Zhao Qiheng… Heavenly Sword Sect…" "You think this is hell?" "Heh…" He chuckled softly, the sound echoing eerily in the deathly silence of the Demon Abyss. "This is the starting point for my, Lu Xuantong… soaring!" "When I see the light of day again…" He raised his hand, clenching it tightly towards the void! Behind him, more demonic shadows emerged from the darkness, emitting restless roars, yet seemingly sensing something, they dared not easily approach this human exuding a strange, devouring aura. "Blood will be repaid in blood!"
