Yes, I Really Am Quite Rude

Before Yaoying escaped through that hole, which was like a black hole,

she had always thought that everyone outside was an ordinary person, unable to fight at all,

and that only the people living in the secret realm knew the ways of immortal cultivation.

Three hundred years ago, an accident created a link between the secret realm and the outside world, connecting the two worlds.

Unimaginable abilities brought fear and turmoil, resentment and indignation, and the cultivators split into two factions.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're saying that the parents I've never even met are the biggest villains?!"

Yaoying couldn't understand

why everyone said

her parents had once sought to enslave all ordinary people.

At first, all she wanted was to find the culprit who had driven people to their deaths. Who could have guessed that behind one fog lay an even greater fog?

The secrets of her birth, buried beneath lies, began to surface. As she dug deeper,

the truth behind all the mysteries was revealed. What kind of world was this, really?

Profiteering opportunists, secret restorers, silent onlookers, or defenders of order?

Before you read:

1. If you don't like it, please leave amicably.

2. The heroine is rebellious to the core. Tell her not to do something, and she'll insist on doing it.

If you're stronger than her, fine, she'll just do it in secret.

3. The main idea is that cultivators are hiding among us.

4. Any resemblance between the names of characters or places in this story and real ones is purely coincidental.

I Work at the Underworld Affairs Office

They say the underworld has thirteen stations.

After death, you have to pass through all thirteen stations before you can be reincarnated.

Qing Xuan is a "squad leader" personally appointed by King Yama, and the unluckiest person in ten thousand years.

Her job is to travel back and forth between the thirteen stations, keeping order in the underworld.

She mediates disputes between the stations and leads her underlings on grand patrols.

Now and then, she has to go on a business trip to the human world to catch powerful ghosts who have crossed over illegally.

Born with a deadpan expression, she kills without ever getting blood on her hands.

Underling: Wow, my boss is so cool. She doesn't even blink.

Qing Xuan: There are ten thousand things I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should.

She found a hollow in a tree where she could vent, never expecting to find a ghost trapped inside.

Qing Xuan: I can barely keep a straight face, you know? Maybe I should just kill it first (smiles).

A deadpan, laid-back, domineering heroine.

I Seek the Dao and Cultivate for Immortality

Huai Xi: An ordinary prodigy.

Huai Xi of the Hanging Sword Sect was born with a Dao heart and advanced at an astonishing pace.

She was the idol of countless disciples in the immortal sects.

Huai Xi died and came back to life.

After dying suddenly and coming back, Huai Xi decided that staying alive for a long, long time was her top priority.

By a stroke of fate, the Heavenly Dao decided she should cultivate the path of longevity.

But what did it mean to cultivate the path of longevity?

Getting up early and going to bed early? Eating three meals a day? Killing herself to become a ghost and gain eternal life?

Longevity is about following your heart, doing what you want, and loving and hating as you please.

Being a little rude is the quickest way to enjoy life.

From then on, even breathing could improve her cultivation.

"The path I cultivate is called obsession: the obsession of lovers consumed by love, the devotion that never changes."

"The path I cultivate is called the sword: a person is a sword, a sword is a person. Only when both person and sword are present can one reach the highest level."

Huai Xi: The path I cultivate is called longevity.

I attain the Dao of longevity, and I become longevity.

From then on, I wander freely through the world. Whether demon or ghost, all shall honor me as their king.

Those who follow the path of ruthless detachment see all things as straw dogs; those who follow no path seek to destroy all things.

Now that we have gathered, let us raise our cups and celebrate attaining the immortal Dao! Every meeting is fate, and every parting is also Heaven's will. When the day comes, we will meet again.
