The Powerful One Bows

Lin Silu, the last god of Haichuan Continent, accidentally fell into the mortal world and lived through nine cycles of life and death.

No one cared when she died in her first two lives. It wasn't until her third life, when she became a model member of a family of notorious thieves, that she went to swindle an ordinary household and discovered that the family was anything but normal, especially the young man.

The man had been despondent every day since his friend died, and he never treated her kindly, even though everyone else in the family liked her.

Lin Silu's mission was to earn the family's complete trust, then quietly make off with their money. Why not just rob them outright? Because the family of thieves had always relied on "honesty" to win people over, and no one in the martial world knew how they actually pulled off their thefts.

This man was hard to handle, and Lin Silu no longer wanted to do anything as rotten as cheating people. Once this job was done, she planned to retire and live in seclusion in the mountains.

Later, just when she thought she'd truly earned the trust of the man, Xian Muchuan, and was about to put a perfect finishing touch on the job, he stared at her with peach-blossom eyes and gave her a chilling smile. "Did you really plan to loot my entire house?"

Lin Silu's body stiffened. She met Xian Muchuan's gaze in terror. She tried to think up all sorts of excuses, but he saw through every one of them on the spot!

"Lu Li, since things have come to this, I might as well tell you. I can hear everything you're thinking. And not only that, I can foresee what will happen to you in the future. Would you like me to tell you about it?"

As an ordinary mortal, Lin Silu was so frightened she fell flat on her backside.

She had only one thought: She was done for!!!

Xian Muchuan didn't kill her, because he sensed a trace of kindness in her heart. She had truly been good to his family, and had even planned to hand over her own savings to convince the family of thieves that she'd completed her mission. She didn't want to do bad things anymore.

As a powerful mountain spirit, Xian Muchuan naturally wasn't going to hold a grudge against a mortal. He gave her a chance to escape the family of thieves, and she was clever enough to grab the lifeline he offered right away.

From then on, Lin Silu became the housekeeper in his home, responsible for all the household affairs, big and small, including driving away the little demons who came to apprentice under him.

Having survived by sheer luck, Lin Silu also discovered the right way to make use of Xian Muchuan, and began putting it into practice.

He could read minds, couldn't he? She'd cursed him so much in her thoughts before, and he hadn't gotten angry. He'd even let her live. So couldn't she use that to do other things, too?

Like cursing him in her mind, humiliating him, or even indulging in wild fantasies and teasing him. She could think anything she wanted, just as long as she didn't treat him like a person...

Xian Muchuan listened from inside the house, his head aching. He'd saved her. According to the stories, shouldn't she be grateful and repay his kindness?

He fell asleep to her insults every night, and began to wonder what kind of person Lin Silu was, and how her mind could be so messed up.

He followed her, spied on her, and even lay awkwardly on the roof eaves to eavesdrop, all to learn more about her. His behavior was nearly deranged.

After a while, he suddenly realized that whenever he was with Lin Silu, he somehow seemed like a little dog wagging its tail and begging for affection?!!

He had to be sick, and seriously sick at that...
