Gossiping My Way Through the Cultivation World

[My ongoing story, Taking Care of the Villain Dad Every Day, is available to read by visiting my author page!] Song Yanyan transmigrates into the body of an ordinary mortal with no spiritual roots, and thinks she won't survive three days. Fortunately, her golden finger, the "Gossip to Ascension" System, arrives late but not too late. System: [Host, want some gossip? Collect the shock points of the gossiping crowd to exchange for spiritual roots and cultivation. Ascending to the Immortal Realm will be a piece of cake.] Song Yanyan jerks upright from her deathbed: [There's really such a good deal?] But the gossip System believes that shared joy is greater than solitary joy. She can't keep the gossip to herself. She has to share it! Song Yanyan gives it a dead fish stare: [If people find out I'm the one gossiping, they'll chase me for eight hundred miles just to hack me to pieces!] System: [It's so thrilling to run away right after spilling the gossip!] For the sake of cultivating immortality, Song Yanyan has no choice but to give it her all. While gossiping, she has the System broadcast her inner thoughts to let the cultivation bigwigs broaden their horizons, too. Along the way, she collects shock points to exchange for gossip coins. [Wow! The disciple Venerable Shanghao took in from the mortal world actually killed his wife to prove his Dao and cultivate immortality! Hahaha, bet you didn't see this coming: your mortal wife was actually an immortal who descended to undergo a tribulation of love, and then you went and did that to her.] The cultivator looked at his ex-wife with complicated feelings, hesitating before saying, "You..." His wife gathered spiritual power in her palm and slapped him with a super-hard smack. "Die, you bastard!" The gossiping crowd: Well, would you look at that. You dared to mess with Lady Su Yue? Are you a leopard's guts that took human form? [Shocking! Venerable Guanyun has fallen in love with his little disciple and plans to take the spiritual root from his eldest disciple and give it to her. He doesn't realize that the disciple will fall to demonic cultivation and slaughter the cultivation world once his spiritual root is gone. Venerable Guanyun, do you want to see rivers of blood in the cultivation world? Are you going to say that your eldest disciple lost only his spiritual root, while you lost your love?] Venerable Guanyun: I... Actually... The gossiping crowd rolls up their sleeves and beats Venerable Guanyun: It seems reason won't work anymore. If you can't think straight, then we'll use our fists to knock some sense into you! The unlucky eldest disciple who nearly had his spiritual root dug out by his master: Junior Sister said that whenever something happens, you should look for the cause in other people and never make yourself suffer. Besides, he's seen so many bizarre things that he's long since gotten used to them. How could he possibly fall to demonic cultivation?! * Ever since she bound herself to the gossip System, Song Yanyan has carefully hidden her secret gossip habit. Unfortunately, there are too many clever people around, and her secret identity is exposed without warning. She quickly finds herself a powerful senior brother to rely on. From then on, a shadow follows Song Yanyan everywhere, covering for her and taking hits for her. The spiritual senses of these cultivation powerhouses are just too strong. Whenever she can't conceal herself, every day turns into a race for her life. She spills the gossip and runs: [The daughter of a certain city lord is a hopeless romantic. She steals a magical treasure for the man she loves, then her father accidentally beats her to death.] [A certain evil cultivator infiltrates a righteous sect to find an immortal's cave, only to end up doing someone else a favor.] [A certain immortal venerable finds his long-lost daughter, but she hates him, and father and daughter face off in battle.] As Song Yanyan reveals more and more, the cultivation bigwigs go from grinding their teeth in anger to waiting with bowls in hand for the next juicy story. Cultivation bigwigs: Other people's gossip is so fun, hehehe! Song Yanyan goes from an ordinary mortal to ascending to the Immortal Realm on a steady diet of gossip, and even finds herself a Dao companion along the way.

He's a notorious playboy in the capital, and no one dares provoke him, all because his father wields immense power at court. One day, after getting into an argument with someone, he gets hit on the head and regains memories of his past life. That's when he learns that he's transmigrated into a book. In the book, his father forms cliques and commits every kind of evil, especially framing the great general for rebellion and forcing the general's son, Huo Sui, to raise the banner of revolt. Their whole family naturally meets a tragic end. At this point, his father, who holds immense power at court, has already exiled Huo Sui's entire clan. Huo Sui will soon get in touch with his father's former subordinates and prepare to rebel. Liang Mochen: Let me die. The sooner I die, the sooner I can be reborn. * Then a mechanical voice rings out: "Ding! Your Character Profile System is now online." Liang Mochen jerks upright from his deathbed: Huh? I mean, it's not like there's no chance of saving this situation. The System tells him that, thanks to his villainous father's relentless persecution, the court is in chaos and the people are suffering. Foreign powers are also eyeing the Central Plains hungrily. Huo Sui could have turned the tide after ascending the throne, but there was no one capable at court to help him. On top of that, his health collapsed during exile, and he died suddenly in the palace two years later. He left no heirs, and the court fell into complete chaos, with everyone wanting the throne. Afterward, foreign powers invade the Central Plains, committing atrocities on a scale comparable to the upheaval of the Five Barbarians. Liang Mochen grits his teeth. If he lies flat and waits to die, he'll be a traitor to his people! So while his father plots schemes up front, Liang Mochen secretly lends a hand behind the scenes. The court ministers come to treat him as a revolutionary brick, carrying him wherever he's needed. Besides, Liang Mochen has to revitalize agriculture and develop the economy so the people can eat their fill and stop thinking about joining Huo Sui's rebellion. Holding the Character Profile System, Liang Mochen thinks happily: Thank goodness he can check everyone's resume. He'll summon everyone with ability to work for him, and kill everyone who does bad things. Once all the foreign powers have been wiped out and the people are living in peace, Liang Mochen is crowned emperor. Liang Mochen sighs helplessly: You might not believe me, but I only ever wanted to be a playboy. Author's page, please add me to your favorites! My Weibo: Jinjiang Boyunjian.
