A real dark age began, to which one distinguished figure from a hundred years ago once said full of grief. 'The greatest shame of us historians two hundred years ago is not being able to clarify the origins of those overgrown lizards and reptiles from several million years ago.' His statement revealed the source of the disaster in the year 3001. Millions of years before the so-called pre-Great War of humanity in the year 2029, an asteroid or group of meteors struck Earth and wiped out the then-rulers of…-

It was an unfortunate fact, but the life expectancy in a regular modern world was less than a hundred years old. In most cases, it was already admirable for one to enter their eighties as it was officially reported that 79 was the average lifespan. Zhan Rong passed at the age of 74 and like always, Jiang Li was helpless since, for an unknown reason, his points were useless on her. Even in the previous lifetimes, he never managed to extend her days through the system. Before she died, she forced a smile…

Complacency proved to be a snake that lurks in the dark and bites when least expected. Jiang Li believed so much in Zhan Rong, that she would only be attracted to him. Unfortunately… while he was correct on that part, the father of the girl was not a fellow who would easily give up marrying his daughter off for benefits. "Since blind date didn't work, he simply thought of hosting an event where men who lusted after the Zhan's wealth and power would 'bid' for your hand?" Jiang Li's voice was icy and his…

"When do you think will she wake up?" Zhan Rong asked. An unhappy expression could be seen on her face when she came back wearing white office attire. She did not come home directly from the company, but from the hospital. Guo Hanying, that liar who said she had already moved on, pulled her to that place, confronting Fan Zheng who was in turn dragged by his grandfather to visit his new fiancée. Yeah, Gu Mochou. That woman who was so unbelievable to set up so many layers in her plan to ruin Zhao Ai…

Jiang Li had no plan to release Gu Mochou from the imprisonment. At least, not this week. After all, in that place, he finally managed to make her reflect. Probably she was even doubting her life now, or deeply regretting. Her mind was probably full of Zhao Bolin since the den of devils amidst that forest was no more to distract her. He didn't know and didn't think it was important for him to know. Two days later, in the body of Lang Lei, he went to work and played a piano piece at the request of a rich…

"If we thought about it, don't you also think that their story is a bit ridiculous? Especially given the fact he paid that much…" The questions then poured out of his mouth. His consciousness returned to the topic. "Yet after becoming a human, the other seemed to have forgotten about him and only remembered him when she bumped into you." "In the first place, the two had bonded so little when they were still alive. Isn't it confusing why one is so adamant on lending a hand to her, the other so fixated…

No change appeared in Jiang Li's expression as he lied. In reality, the envoys arrived, but he beat them up and forced them to return the souls into the bodies. Naturally, his ghost king aura posed no threat to him, especially since he was by himself. He had to bluff his way by simulating the air he used to have when he was still a deity. Only after that did those guys listen to him. These all happened before he took a trip to see the village. He remembered that the excuse he used to convince them was…

After Jiang Li narrated everything from the start, Zhan Rong only had one opinion about Gu Mochou. A b*tch. That was it. There was nothing else she could think of as a description. Zhan Rong didn't know whether Gu Mochou's previous life as a ghost eroded her humanity and reasoning and changed her into someone like that. Perhaps it really did. But even if taking revenge on the evildoers amongst the villagers was acceptable, killing off the innocent, such as the newly purchased wives and children, were…

Gu Mochou felt like her brain was like a CPU that was about to breakdown. She did not know what to think. Even if it was currently an astral one, her head was undeniably hurting. Yet the desire to escape since she found herself stuck in this place could not get any stronger. Why so? A stupid question. Of course, because it was no fun to be locked up. She also wanted an answer from that ghost king face to face. Just then. When she was glaring at the walls that kept preventing her escape, she found the guy…

The girl nodded. The look in her eyes told that the answer could not get even more obvious. Hey, the past half a year had been like a whirlwind to her. Her problem did not end with just her so-called third eye opening, rendering her to see more filthy things than likable beings like Jiang Li. There were many traumatic and life-threatening circumstances popping up intermittently within the past six months. It was sometimes even scary to breathe. If this were all partly schemed to happen by her damn pet…
