Xie Jincheng failed his tribulation and transmigrated into a novel about a universally adored group, as a cannon-fodder lackey everyone hated.
The good news: the plot was the same with or without him.
The bad news: he was at the bottom of the food chain, and even the smallest lackey could take his frustrations out on him.
The guy in front of him had just poured cold water over his head, then turned around and blamed him for being in the way. He was one of the protagonist group's lackeys, with a slightly higher status than Xie Jincheng.
Xie Jincheng smiled at him good-naturedly 😊, as if he didn't mind at all.
But everyone present heard his inner thoughts:
[This man is jealous of me and may become an obstacle. I have to strike first! I'll kill them on my way home from work.]
The Four Young Masters of the Capital: ?😨?
Wait, what did they have to do with this? 😰
Xie Jincheng was naturally suspicious. The cultivation world was full of deceit, and it had given him the habit of turning every little thing over in his mind eight hundred times and eliminating every hidden danger.
And so:
This man is smiling, but hiding a knife. He must want to kill me! 😡
That person looked me in the eye for three seconds. They could be a spy! 😡
The family portrait is three inches off-center. It must be a feng shui killing array! 😡
Xie Jincheng, once an Immortal Venerable, was now trapped in a mortal body with terminal paranoia, convinced that everyone wanted to harm him.
Everyone: ...😱
The city's wealthy families trembled in fear, worried that this chuunibyou with overwhelming combat prowess might one day kill them "preemptively."
When strangers merely glanced at him a few too many times, Xie Jincheng 🤔 thought: [This person is acting suspiciously and suddenly approached me. They may have ulterior motives. I'll find out what they want, then slaughter them all.]
The stranger: ...😅
When Ling Yunxiu deliberately approached him, Xie Jincheng 🥰 thought: [This person is acting suspiciously, is ridiculously beautiful, and suddenly approached me. Could they be aiming for the position of my cultivation partner? They must have big plans. I'll keep them right under my nose. That's safest.]
Ling Yunxiu: ?🥺?
Everyone: 🙄 Pah, what a hypocrite! 🤬
Everyone couldn't take Xie Jincheng's increasingly vicious inner thoughts anymore. As the saying went, even the coldest, most heartless man would become gentle once he fell in love, so they set him up with a partner.
Before meeting him:
Xie Jincheng 🤫 thought: [A mere mortal thinks they're worthy of becoming my cultivation partner?]
After meeting Ling Yunxiu:
Xie Jincheng 😘 thought: [Who else could possibly be my cultivation partner?]
From then on, there was one more person in the city whose every expression the wealthy families watched closely. 😇
