After Running Away Pregnant, I Ended Up on the Wanted Lists of Both the Demon Venerable and the Immortal Venerable

[Main story complete. I may revise it from time to time!]

Jian Zhen was a twin immortal herb. After an accident, it fell onto the sacred mountains of the Immortal and Demon Realms. By the time it slowly developed awareness, it had already sprouted on two different mountains.

One sprig grew outside the window of the Demon Lord, and the other outside the window of the Immortal Lord.

Both of these mighty figures were among the beings in the Three Realms whom no one dared offend.

Neither of them had any friends, so poor Jian Zhen became the one they confided in.

During the day, Jian Zhen listened to the Immortal Lord tell it gossip about the great cultivation families and all sorts of interesting things about the Immortal Realm. At night, it listened to the Demon Lord talk about the trouble the demons and monsters had caused around the world and where the Demon Realm's rare treasures were hidden.

Over more than a hundred years, Jian Zhen heard all the things it should and shouldn't have heard.

Perhaps because it absorbed the power of two sacred lands at once, Jian Zhen managed to take human form in less than a thousand years. Fearing it would be killed to keep it quiet, it ran away!

In the twenty-fifth year of the Cultivation Continent, the rulers of the Immortal and Demon Realms suddenly issued a joint wanted notice, ordering all three realms to search for an immortal herb. Anyone who provided a lead would receive incredibly rare treasures from the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord.

The notice astonished everyone.

"What kind of person could have offended both the Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord?"

"They must be incredibly capable."

"Could this immortal herb have some special power or quality?"

"Did it steal some kind of spiritual treasure from the big shots?"

Meanwhile...

In some unknown place, Jian Zhen was doubled over with unbearable morning sickness. "Ugh..."

The immortal herb had taken human form after only a hundred years. Because it had absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from two sacred lands at once, its spiritual body surged in power as it transformed. While delirious, it seemed that it really had engaged in dual cultivation with one of the powerful figures.

But...

Jian Zhen covered its stomach, close to tears.

It hadn't stolen a spiritual treasure, but did carrying a baby count?

Title: After Finding a Superstar's Child, We Join a Parenting Variety Show

Blurb:

Jian Zhile was an overlooked, low-ranking singer whose career had been put on ice. His main job was singing, and his side jobs were washing dishes and cars at a hotel.

One day, on his way home from work, he found a lost child by the roadside. Before he could ask where the child's home was, the little one cried and flung himself at Jian Zhile, shouting, "Daddy!"

Jian Zhile: "..."

After years of being single since birth, he suddenly became a father.

There was no one else on the street, so he had no choice but to take the child home. He thought the kid was joking. But after taking him to the hospital for a paternity test, he discovered that the child really was his biological son!

On the way home with the test results, Jian Zhile's hands shook. "Little one, who is your father?"

He thought having a son was shocking enough.

But the little one pointed through the car window at a handsome man on a billboard and said, "Papa!"

Jian Zhile's eyes widened. The man on the poster was none other than Gu Yuan, this year's top-tier star, a newly crowned Best Actor who had won all sorts of awards. He was a man Jian Zhile had met only a few times and never even spoken to!

A parenting variety show began airing, bringing together top-tier stars from across the entertainment industry: a popular female idol and her niece, a famous actor and his young nephew, and Jian Zhile, who had just become a father.

During his solo interview, when a staff member asked Jian Zhile about the child's father, he put on the performance of a lifetime so no one would catch on. "I was young and foolish back then. The child's dad passed away early, but I still believe life belongs to me, so..."

The viewers in the livestream:

"I heard Zhile usually works three jobs by himself."

"The baby is so adorable!!"

"What kind of deadbeat dad abandons his wife and child? That's no man!"

"We'll protect the baby and Lele from now on!"

After the show officially began...

When all the guests gathered at the airport, Jian Zhile got out of the car carrying the baby, who was drowsy from the change in climate. The child spotted the famous actor walking over from a distance and lit up. He opened his arms and toddled over to Gu, calling in his babyish voice, "Papa, pick me up!"

Jian Zhile: ?

The actor: ?

The scene fell into an awkward silence.

The actor's fans in the comments were up in arms:

"The actor is a deadbeat dad?"

"Impossible!"

"Brother Gu definitely can't have a child."

"Ahhh, what kind of earth-shattering gossip is this?!"

Everyone assumed the child was just saying whatever came to mind. The show ended, and all the guests went back to their lives.

Then one day, the top-tier star and award-winning actor suddenly posted a photo of the three of them holding hands, along with a picture of their newly issued marriage certificate. He officially announced, "I'm not a deadbeat dad. We've got our marriage certificate. @Jian Zhile."

The whole internet was stunned.

#The ex-husband who supposedly died young climbs out of his grave and comes back to life

#The couple I shipped is real

#They really do have a child

Title:

After the Horror Ghosts Hear My Inner Thoughts

Blurb:

After an accident, Jian Fan became a streamer in an endless survival horror game. Among the powers awakened by the top streamers, the survival ability he drew was... gossip.

The viewers: "Hahaha, what kind of useless ability is that? You're doomed, streamer!"

They say that the vengeful spirit Sadako kills without mercy. A female ghost, driven by the death of her beloved, was about to unleash her hatred on everyone. Just as it looked like all the players were about to be wiped out...

The gossip ability kicked in inside Jian Fan's mind: [S-rank vengeful spirit Sadako's lover isn't dead after all. He ran off with someone else behind her back!]

Jian Fan: "?"

Sadako, who had been about to kill someone: ?

The viewers in the livestream, who had just gotten the latest gossip: !?

In another survival round, the players entered a dangerous old castle. Jian Zhen was threatened by the duke and his wife, and was about to lose his life when...

Gossip ability:

[S-rank monster Duke is having an affair with the maid behind his wife's back!]

The duke and duchess looked at each other. The tension was about to erupt.

A viewer in the livestream: "I can't believe I'm getting to watch this love triangle without paying!"

Gossip ability:

[Latest news! The maid is actually a cross-dressing man!]

Jian Fan: "..."

What kind of role-play are you monsters into?

The viewers in the livestream: "Hahahaha! I'm so anxious! I've got my melon seeds, fruit, and peanuts ready. So who does the maid actually like?"

A large-scale survival horror game began. An ordinary human streamer became an overnight sensation. While everyone else fought monsters, Jian Fan listened to gossip. While others fought tooth and nail, Jian Fan's side was all domestic drama and bickering. The viewers were too busy enjoying the gossip to get enough of it.

Thanks to his gossip ability, Jian Fan escaped from dangerous rounds unscathed time and again. Then, in a deadly situation, his ability activated:

Gossip ability:

[Have you heard? The danger-level Boss, the Ghost King, is dating an ordinary human player!]

Jian Fan: ?

The attacking evil spirits stopped in surprise. They didn't even bother to kill him; they turned around and whispered to one another:

[The King is dating... Is it this guy?]

[Yeah, I heard they've even had kids. That's the Ghost King for you: one boy and one girl, with one more on the way.]

Jian Fan's eyes widened in shock. Wait! Don't spread rumors! Who's had kids?!

After the evil spirits left, Jian Fan couldn't help asking the man beside him, "Do we have three kids?"

The man's dark eyes glinted faintly red. Jian Fan thought he would deny it, but instead he said:

"It's not out of the question."

Jian Fan: "..."

His smile slowly vanished.jpg
