The Good-for-Nothing Junior Sister Is Picking Up Junk Again

The new novel, Daily Life of a Vicious Couple, is now updating! The blurb is below. Please add it to your collection~

Blurb: Ling Xia was supposed to be the chosen prodigy of the greatest sect under heaven, but her own family pushed her into a deep ravine. As she prepared to accept her tragic fate, consumed by endless grief, she emerged completely unharmed and discovered a hidden paradise.

The bloodthirsty magical beasts ran at the sight of her. The big ones didn't need chasing, and the little ones made a hearty meal. There was no shortage of fruit or spirit herbs, and all kinds of rare treasures fell from the sky now and then. For the cash-strapped Ling Xia, this was an irresistible temptation. She always carried a little basket on her back and never came home empty-handed.

Before long, her little treasure house was home to several half-dead, rather peculiar people.

A dazed, slightly improper man told her to call him Master.

A domineering, violent beauty told her to call her Senior Sister.

A gentle, jade-like pretty boy told her to call him Senior Brother.

Ling Xia refused to accept this. Even if she couldn't be the leader, she wasn't going to be the youngest. Pointing at the little black dog beside her, she said, "I can still beat him..."

Before she could finish, the little black dog transformed into a strapping, imposing man. "Good girl, call me Second Senior Brother."

Ling Xia became the beloved junior sister of the Wanton Sect. Her Master doted on her, and her senior brothers and sisters indulged her, but she still couldn't kick her habit of picking things up. During adventures in the immortal realm:

While others fought beasts to clear the trials, Ling Xia picked up junk.

While others used their wits to seize treasures, Ling Xia picked up junk.

While others fought among themselves, Ling Xia picked up junk.

In the end, while everyone else fought until they were near death and came away empty-handed, Ling Xia followed along with her storage bag and raked in a fortune picking up junk. As everyone watched with envy, Ling Xia held a pile of immortal artifacts and muttered that this one would be good for storing lard, and that one for feeding the dog.

Everyone: "She must have picked up nothing but junk!"

The Master, Senior Sister, and fellow disciples she had picked up: "Prepare to die!"

Bonus scene:

Her Master, Senior Sister, and Senior Brothers stared at the dying man in her room, all puzzled. Ling Xia blushed. "He's handsome."

Her Master immediately went to drag the man away. Her Senior Sister grabbed a huge blade. First Senior Brother turned to open the door, while Second Senior Brother raised his big foot.

Ling Xia threw her arms around the man and shouted, "I mean his eyes are handsome!"

Her Senior Sister rolled up her sleeves. "Dig them out!"

The man sprang to life and beat them all up.

Master: "How about you become her Master instead?"

The man looked disgusted.

Master: "Or... how about I give you my little disciple?"

The man looked even more disgusted, but...

"Fine."

Ling Xia: "Now of all times, you're selling your disciple?!"

Master: "So you don't agree?"

Ling Xia: "...I agree."

Daily Life of a Vicious Couple

Mu Nianci's fiance died, and the whole capital of Shangjing was thrown into a state of panic.

They said that although the Anning Commandery Princess had a lovely name, she had a mean face and a vicious temperament. She was petty and vindictive, and especially skilled with poison. More people had been carried out of the Princess's Residence than had walked in. Now she had acquired yet another reputation: a husband-killer.

The Grand Princess was willing to throw away her dignity just to find her daughter a suitable husband, and even went to ask her imperial brother for help.

But whenever she asked about a potential match, either the family's son was already engaged, or they had some other unspoken problem. Ask a few more questions, and it was as if she were about to have their whole family executed.

The Emperor was in a difficult position too. Then he remembered that the Marquis of Xuanping's younger son, Si Tingyu, was already well into his twenties and still unmarried, so he arranged a marriage between the two.

When the nobility heard the news, they celebrated with drums, gongs, and firecrackers.

Si Tingyu was the master of the Xuanyu Sect, ruthless and cruel, a devil who had killed countless people. Everyone trembled at the sound of his name.

Now an evil man was being paired with a venomous woman. Shangjing's two most notorious figures had been tied together, and every family with children of marriageable age breathed a sigh of relief.

*

Mu Nianci had no intention of getting married, but since the marriage had been decreed, she couldn't defy the Emperor. At worst, she would poison him until he was crippled.

Si Tingyu had no intention of taking a wife either, but he couldn't disobey the imperial decree. At worst, he would kill her.

But on their wedding night, Si Tingyu looked at his delicate, breathtakingly beautiful wife and gave her a wicked smile. "A spiteful, cruel woman?"

Mu Nianci glanced at her gentle, refined, handsome husband and frowned slightly. "A ruthless, vicious devil of a man?"

After they had spent some time together...

Mu Nianci gritted her teeth. "No wonder they call you a rotten fish!"

Si Tingyu: "You're no better, rotten shrimp."

Their personal guard laughed. "Aren't Sect Master and Madam just as bad as each other?"

Mu Nianci: "...Crown of the red-crowned crane?"

Si Tingyu: "...Let's just have him executed by a thousand cuts."

The personal guard dropped to his knees with a thud. "Sect Master, Madam, spare my life!"
