"This quest won’t be easy!"

Gu Sheng read through the mission details, his thoughts racing. This mission world was still somewhat unfamiliar to him.

As for the Wu Xin: The Monster Killer World, he had really only been exposed to the plot of the television series. He knew very little about the original novel.

However, based on the memories in his mind, considering the character Zhang Xianzong, this world should be closer to the television series.

"Zhang Xianzong, my tooth hurts!"

That was the line Gu Sheng remembered most deeply about this world, but he had never imagined that one day he would become one of its protagonists.

Zhang Xianzong was Gu Xuanwu’s adjutant, the man who later betrayed him, the subsequent ruler of Wen County, and someone who opposed the protagonist Wu Xin to the bitter end.

The other protagonist of that line was a puzzling hundred-year-old girl, Yue Qiluo. Indeed, when Gu Sheng had first followed this story, he had never been doing it for the male and female leads. Wu Xin and Yueya were decent enough, but compared with the villain, they were just a little less interesting.

This pair, once known as the "despised couple," had only themselves to blame. First came Yue Qiluo, the villain of the entire series, who possessed extraordinary talent and embarked upon the Path of Immortality.

If the exceptionally gifted Old Yue had devoted herself to cultivation, discarded her distracting thoughts, and refused to enter the demonic path, perhaps she could have surpassed her ancestors, forged a new path, founded another sect, and become the founding patriarch of a great school, remembered for generations.

Then the entire series might have taken a completely different turn. But she still practiced Demonic Arts, hoping to cultivate a method of eternal life and immortality, and walked down the crooked path of evil. There was nothing wrong with choosing the evil path, since it was always faster than the righteous path. It was just that some hidden dangers had to be mentioned.

There was nothing wrong with taking the evil path in the first place. She could quietly kill people and absorb their qi, move to a new place every few days, remain impossible for anyone to find, enjoy the scenery while traveling across the land, and sample the flavors of different peoples. How comfortable, how carefree! No one would attack you for no reason!

But Old Yue just had to court death. She wanted to experience the joys and sorrows of love and human life, and that was where things…

The countless myths, unofficial histories, and novels from ancient times to the present—the Legend of the White Snake, A Chinese Ghost Story, and even Lotus Lantern and The Seven Fairies, not to mention all kinds of melodramatic modern television series—had taught us one great truth.

Once a nonhuman species fell in love, it would absolutely meet a bad end. One had to be fully prepared for the possibility of one’s body and soul scattering and one’s existence being reduced to ashes.

As for Zhang Xianzong, speaking fairly, Gu Xuanwu had treated him well. He trusted him completely, promoted him and raised his salary without forgetting to support his brother, and was even very concerned about arranging several concubines for him. Superiors like that were truly rare!

But Zhang Xianzong clearly had not rebelled because he disliked the woman Gu Xuanwu had introduced. Rather, he was unhappy that Gu Xuanwu had meddled in such matters and expected him to bow and scrape at his own wedding.

What was more, in those chaotic times, which man with even a little backbone did not want to carve out a realm of his own? No matter how well someone treated you, remaining beneath him was ultimately not the best choice. Thus, he rebelled. Thus, he succeeded. But then he encountered Yue Qiluo.
