"Is he surely going to die this time?"

At the Gu's villa, in a side room, a young woman dressed as a maid and nanny is anxiously staring at the handsome young man lying on the bed. Beads of sweat are dripping down her pretty forehead.

A few months ago, something bizarre happened in Qianchuan City that, to this day, is still the talk of the town.

What was it?

The Gu family, the city's most renowned pharmaceutical merchants, welcomed a son-in-law from a rural area. This simpleton, from Hongxi Village on the outskirts, was the laughing stock of the town.

This idiot, at the age of eighteen, couldn't even recognize numbers. It was only due to his handsome features that he had this opportunity, much to the regret of the promising young men of Qianchuan City.

Because Miss Gu Anqi of the Gu family was a beauty as lovely as a celestial being, with skin as smooth as jade and a face as pretty as a peach blossom. But she had married a simple-minded groom...

That very simpleton now lies on the bed, his face deathly pale - Jiang Chen.

"What a pity," the nanny murmurs to herself, "born with such a fine physique and appearance..."

It is a secret from the outside world, but being Gu Anqi's personal maid, she had inside knowledge.

All of this was due to the strange disease that Miss Gu suffered from. A Daoist priest, who was invited to the house, suggested that marrying a man with a pure yang horoscope would cure her. Thus, they chose Jiang Chen.

After their marriage, sure enough, Miss Gu's illness was cured. But how could a respected business family tolerate having a simpleton as a son-in-law?

Jiang Chen felt as if his body was light and floating, as if he were in mid-air. Suddenly, he saw an odd purple light shooting towards him from outside the window, ruthlessly attacking his body...

"That's mine..."

Even though Jiang Chen was not the brightest, he cherished what was his. Seeing something trying to take over his body, he instinctively resisted.

He had no idea what was happening. All of a sudden, he found himself back in his own body, moving at a speed even faster than the purple light sphere.

Purple light sphere: "..."

"What's going on? I'm scared..."

Jiang Chen soon realized that he had somehow left his body again and was now sitting dumbfounded at the edge of his bed.

Suddenly, a voice as profound as a great bell rang out from the purple light sphere.

"You! I am Ziyang Tianzun of the Hidden Dragon Continent. I was betrayed and my spirit fell to this state. Are you willing to merge with me? Then, together we will fight in the red skies and shatter the stars."

"I'm not willing. I don't know you," Jiang Chen replied timidly.

Ziyang Tianzun: "..."

At this moment, he really wanted to slap this idiot to death. But his spirit was terribly weak. If he used his force, he would only disperse faster. Besides, he needed a powerful pure Yang spirit that was willing to nourish him.

Or else, why would he bother talking to him?

"Would you consider it again?" Ziyang Tianzun swallowed his pride and continued inquiring.

"Unless... there's sweets..."

Ziyang Tianzun almost spat out old blood. How did he end up so unlucky? It was bad enough to drift from another world to this spirit-thin Earth, but now the perfect vessel he had been waiting for three days was an imbecile!

"Cough, cough... if you listen to me, I will let you have endless sweets..."

Forget it. As a grand cultivator, he simply couldn't bring himself to say such shameless words.

"Really?" Jiang Chen's face lit up with joy, and he eagerly reached out to the purple glow, "Then hurry up, I can't wait anymore..."

Ziyang Tianzun was overjoyed, but the instant that Jiang Chen's hand clung to his soul, he was filled with regret!

"No—Don't!"

Jiang Chen's palm radiated a brilliant golden whirlpool, absorbing Ziyang Tianzun's soul...

"Huh? Where is he? What a liar!"

"Um... I'm so sleepy..."

With that, Jiang Chen dove back into his own body, soon to be snoring.

This nap was a good one. When Jiang Chen woke up, he found himself lying in a pit, surrounded by a few gruesome-looking men, each holding a shovel...

What's peculiar was that even though his eyes were closed, everything was clear as day, and his senses were exceptionally sharp.

"The hell... Are they burying me?"

Jiang Chen concentrated, past events playing like a movie in his mind. To his surprise, he found that he was no longer foolish!

"Miss, there's really no need for you to be here. We can handle small tasks like this..."

"No!"

Today, Gu Anqi was dressed in a black OL uniform suit. Her lustrous, sleek black-stocking-clad long legs were extremely tempting.

"This fool, I have to make sure he's really buried before I can rest easy."

"Scum!"

Jiang Chen cursed inwardly, thinking back to how Gu Anqi always seemed to care for him so much... It turned out to be all fake. Everyday, she put a slow-acting poison in his food, she would even lie to him it was sugar and feed him in front of his face...

"Okay, hurry up and bury him." Gu Anqi glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully for the last time, then delicately made her way towards a white Bentley parked by the road.

A thought struck Jiang Chen, and he realized there was a familiar face in the car.

Sha Bi!

The CEO of Dingfeng Group, the heir of the Sha family.

"Damn it! He cuckolded me!"

Jiang Chen was naive before, he didn’t understand. This adulterous couple were already together, and they once even fooled Jiang Chen into playing a game in the room while they did their indecent thing behind a screen.

"Is it done?"

In the Bentley, Sha Bi's voice was magnetic, bewitching Gu Anqi every time she heard it.

"Mm-hmm, we'll announce that he died from an illness!"

"That's good. I've already arranged things on every front. Nobody will care about the death of one person, and we can prepare for our marriage sooner."

Sha Bi seemed delighted, but inside he was deeply frustrated. If it hadn’t been for the crisis facing the Dingfeng Group, which needed the Gu family's financial support, why would he ever lower himself to marry a divorced woman?

"Bi, we can finally be together openly!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Gu Anqi threw herself into Sha Bi's arms. There was a deep repulsion in his eyes, but he lifted up his hand to hold the woman in his arms and forced a smile, "Yes, I've been waiting for this day for so long! We must get our wedding underway immediately. Young Master Lin from the provincial capital will be proposing to Mu Xixue soon. At that time, his news might overshadow ours..."

"I'll do whatever you say, Brother Bi... I love you..."

"I love you too!"

...

Over there, a group of people suddenly saw the car shaking violently. One of the men spat and cursed, "Shameless, doing it in the car right in front of a grave..."

"Shut up! Get to work!"

The burly leader, though cursing and complaining, was sneakily glancing at the position of the Bentley, wetting his lips, imagining Gu Anqi's seductive body...

Glancing over unintentionally, he saw the man in the pit standing up!

"Holy shit! He's come back from the dead... He's come back from the dead!"

After all, they were ordinary people. Seeing such a strange phenomenon, they all scattered in fright, running away in terror.

"Ha!" Jiang Chen chuckled bitterly and walked towards the violently shaking Bentley. Postmortem dalliance, they sure know how to play!

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen opened the car door. His spiritual awareness had sensed earlier that this shameless couple were so engrossed that they even forgot to lock the car door.

"Hey, are you having fun?"

The two people entwined together: "..."

The air seemed to have frozen in that instant. After a brief moment of stillness, Gu Anqi screamed in a sharp voice, "Ghost!"

However, Sha Bi managed to keep his cool in the face of danger. He quickly put on his pants, and charged out, throwing a punch, "Stupid jerk! What are you looking at?"

Jiang Chen gently sidestepped and kicked Sha Bi's butt. The man instantly tumbled forward, falling flat on his face in the dirt like a dog!

"Playing with my wife, huh? Hehe."

As Sha Bi scrambled clumsily to his feet, he felt the rush of the wind and, eyes wide, witnessed a foot hurtling towards his groin....

"Ahh...."

The blood-curdling scream echoed through the air. Gu Anqi was slightly behind, stepping out just in time to see this scene. "No, stop!"

"Oh, right, there's you, too...."

Jiang Chen's lips curled up into a cruel smile as he approached Gu Anqi.

"You....what do you want?"

"Nothing much, after all, you're my wife, aren't you?"

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed her, handling her like a dead dog, and flung her into a dug out pit. Following that, he gave Sha Bi another kick, sending him tumbling into the pit as well, Then he picked up a shovel and began to bury them.

"Wishing you a long and happy marriage...."
