The Utterly Ordinary Junior Sister

Wen Xin, the junior sister of Huaijian Peak, has three spiritual roots: wind, water, and fire. Her talent is nothing special, and in the cultivation world, where beauties are everywhere, her lovely face earns her no more than praise for being sweet and well-behaved. Her senior brothers and sisters are busy cultivating every day. The unremarkable junior sister takes on the work of washing clothes and cooking for everyone on the peak. After thanking her, they return to pursuing higher realms. Then, one day, everything changed. As she was preparing lunch for everyone, her eldest senior brother, stern and strict and a stickler for rules, suddenly burst through the door. The moment he saw her, his eyes reddened. Before he could say a word, her third senior brother, usually slick-tongued and never serious, came looking for her in the kitchen and fell to his knees before her, sobbing uncontrollably. A few days later, her second senior sister returned on her sword after tempering her sword heart abroad. The cold, taciturn senior sister gathered Wen Xin into her arms and said in a trembling voice, "Thank goodness, thank goodness. Junior sister, you're safe and sound." All kinds of magical artifacts and spirit pets were given to Wen Xin. The junior sister was both overwhelmed by their affection and completely baffled. At last, even her master, who had been trapped in his cave by a restriction he himself had set, emerged from seclusion. He solemnly told Wen Xin, "I will teach you several secret arts for saving your life. You must learn them well." The four members of Huaijian Peak, master and disciples, had been reborn. They all knew that within a hundred years, a great demon would appear, one no prodigy in the cultivation world could defeat. In their previous life, the junior sister, who carried a faint trace of the Feng clan's bloodline, sacrificed her life to imprison the great demon for ten years. This time, they would never let her make that sacrifice again. Everyone worked almost without sleep to grow stronger. Unable to persuade them to rest, the junior sister went alone to the mortal world to shop for the Lantern Festival, hoping to make Huaijian Peak look even more beautiful. She took a liking to a lotus lantern, but a young man in black happened to choose the very same one. Just as the junior sister was about to let him have it, the lecherous fellow wrapped an arm around her waist. Cheng Ye was born a demon seed. After surviving for centuries amid hatred and malice, he had finally mastered demonic cultivation and could wreak havoc as he pleased. Yet he was imprisoned by an obscure young woman and forced to spend every day with Wen Xin, who had become the spirit of the formation. Those ten years together were worth more than the centuries that came before. At the instant the formation shattered and her spirit dispersed, Cheng Ye defied Heaven itself and forced time back a hundred years, meeting her again at the Lantern Festival. Cover artist: Nan Xu, used with permission --- Upcoming novel --- The Senior Sister of the Ruthless Dao Ye Heyi, the senior sister of Yanxian Sect, was born with the eyes of a passionate beauty, yet cultivated the Ruthless Dao. At last, when her Dao companion died by her sword during their bond ceremony, she attained the Dao and glimpsed the truth of the Heavenly Dao. The truth was that everyone close to her had been possessed by visitors from another world, using a sinister technique they called "transmigrate into a book." Before she began cultivating, the elder brother who had raised her changed from his steady, dependable self. He let the fields go fallow and stopped farming, spending every day muttering strange things and pressing her about whether she had encountered any fateful opportunities. In the end, he went mad and tied her up to force her to marry him, claiming it was necessary to bind her fortune to his. Just as they were about to bow to each other as husband and wife, her brother suddenly shouted for her to run. He repeatedly banged his head against the ground, saying a monster had taken possession of him. Bound and unable to escape, she was about to be dragged into the bridal chamber by the monster when her brother returned and shouted, "Help! Kill me!" Saving her meant killing the monster. Ye Heyi killed a monster for the first time, and her brother died. But there was more than one monster. A friend who had shared life and death with her and sworn sisterhood with her suddenly attacked her from behind, viciously trying to cut out her spiritual roots and take her face. Her master, who had given her a second chance at life, tricked her into entering the alchemy chamber. When the formation activated, he intended to use the entire room as a furnace and refine her into a pill. Ye Heyi killed monsters, and the monsters nearly drove her mad. Fortunately, there was someone even crazier than she was. He was her childhood sweetheart and accomplice. Knowing full well that he might be possessed by a monster if he stayed by her side, he still insisted on becoming her Dao companion. On the day of their bond ceremony, he turned into a monster, and she coldly drew her sword. The monster died. He said he cultivated the soul and would soon return to find her. Ye Heyi is waiting. Infinite-Flow Novel: The Silly Little Beauty Enters the Infinite Worlds After Yu Yue entered her personal space in the infinite world, the System looked at her intelligence score of 5 and wondered whether the scoring scale had been changed to ten points. The little beauty obediently curled up on a chair, her eyes brimming with tears as she trembled and begged the System to talk to her. Otherwise, she would be all alone in the dark space and get scared. Looking at her exquisite, beautiful face, the System couldn't bring itself to speak harshly. It thought, her only problem is that she's a little slow. If she's willing to follow its guidance, keeping her alive shouldn't be too hard. Right, first turn on the lights. It can't scare her into crying. * But in the infinite worlds, the humans and nonhumans alike are all devious, and they trick Yu Yue until she's completely muddled. In the beginner instance, the twin serial killers both claim to be her lovers. The situation spirals uncontrollably toward the worst possible outcome. The two sides confront each other and force her to make a final choice about whom to trust, warning her in chilling terms that choosing wrong will have dire consequences. Whichever one she chooses, she will be wrong. The one she abandons will kill her brutally. The System is frantic, but it can't interfere at this critical moment. Then it sees the frightened little beauty, tears in her eyes, take both their hands and ask timidly, "If I choose both, could that count as the right answer...?" A murderous gleam appears in the twins' eyes, but it isn't aimed at her. It's aimed at each other. If only one of them is left, could he have her love all to himself? * After successfully leaving the beginner instance, the System decides to assign her reliable teammates in the next world. But the teammate doesn't like her and is very mean to her. Luckily, Yu Yue drew a good card. One kiss from her will max out a teammate's affection for her. Under cover of night, the little beauty sneaks into her teammate's room to kiss him. But she trips beside the bed and only manages to kiss his chin. The card has no chance to take effect and is wasted. The System comforts Yu Yue, who has hurt her knee, and tells her to go back first. Secretly, it decides that from now on it will only draw cards from pools rated for under eighteen. Yu Yue sniffles and gets up to leave, but her teammate, who has been pretending to sleep, grabs her wrist. "You kissed the wrong place and still think you can run?"
