Chapter 486: A New Game, Am I... A Surplus Son-in-Law? Divine Arrival? Kitchen Knife?!

Chapter 486: A New Game, Am I... A Surplus Son-in-Law? Divine Arrival? Kitchen Knife?!

Bing Yue stared at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"Can I be scolded for a Creation Artifact?"

Qi Yuan paused slightly upon hearing this, realizing his oversight, and quickly added, "The second rule: no one else is allowed to scold either!"

A glimmer of laughter flashed in Bing Yue's chilling gaze as she shifted her eyes from Qi Yuan to the vast sky, her smile fading, "You overturned the Taohuang Palace and disrupted the Lin Ya Transformation plan, but... the Lin Ya Transformation will continue. You must be cautious of the Uniqueness Palace. If things become impossible, hide within the Ultimate Principle Gate, and you may have a glimmer of hope."

"Rest assured, I haven't broken any laws, so I'm not afraid of the Uniqueness Palace!" Qi Yuan declared confidently.

The Lin Ya Transformation and the Uniqueness Palace were indeed major issues.

The Immortal Dao Will, driven by the Uniqueness Palace, would unleash endless slaughter within the Immortal World.

Sometimes, things don't stop just because you want them to.

The Slaughter Qi descended, and to alleviate it, one must slaughter! These Yangshen Venerables sought freedom and ease in their cultivation, but with the Slaughter Qi upon them, they had no freedom, and their bodies acted against their will.

"You're not afraid, but what about the people around you? Your family, your fellow disciples?" Bing Yue said with a cold tone, her voice laced with helplessness and hesitation.

Qi Yuan's gaze suddenly became clear, "I'll become a deity and that's that!"

...

The small western-style building had three floors, its exterior adorned with white jade-like tiles, and the glazed tiles shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Inside the courtyard, the spiritual water was clear, and the spiritual mist settled on the exotic flowers and plants, further enhancing their vibrant beauty.

However, compared to Jingli in her red dress, the flowers were still not as captivating.

"This is my house on Rainbow Peak, how is it? Not bad, right? 220 square meters of living space, actually over 700 square meters, plus a basement, a 50-square-meter balcony, and a 130-square-meter garden."

Adjacent to the Divine Light Sect, it was only a few tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Merchant Kingdom. A quick nap was all it took to get there.

Whether it was the interior design or the transportation, everything was top-notch.

After resolving the issue of the Sixth Heaven, Qi Yuan brought Jingli to his house in the Divine Light Sect.

The house was already built, and there wasn't even any formaldehyde.

It was a three-story western-style building, and Qi Yuan was very satisfied.

Now, holding Jingli and looking at the house, he seemed like a winner in life.

The only slight imperfection was that it wasn't a school district property.

"It's quite elegant." Jingli entered Qi Yuan's house, her face filled with curiosity.

Although she had seen many magnificent or luxurious buildings, she maintained her enthusiasm and patience for Qi Yuan's house.

She touched the walls, railings, and bed, as if wanting to leave her mark in this room.

"Senior Brother, you're back!"

At this moment, a joyful voice from Jiang Ling Su echoed from outside the building.

She wore a yellow skirt, with a golden belt around her waist, further emphasizing her voluptuous chest, a breathtaking sight.

Perhaps being the only person in the mountains, or just waking up, she was dressed casually. Below her delicate collarbone, a deep and alluring valley was particularly captivating, her fair and round breasts swaying.

"Yes." Qi Yuan opened the window and looked down at Jiang Ling Su, seeing everything at a glance, including the indescribable erectness.

Qi Yuan felt touched.

Indeed, on Rainbow Peak, trust between people still existed.

His junior sister didn't stick...

However, he was a gentleman, and he didn't look at what he shouldn't. Since his junior sister trusted him, he should trust her in return.

"This is Jingli, the Moon Maiden from the Moon Goddess Palace, and also my game cp that I told you about." Qi Yuan introduced Jingli.

Jiang Ling Su stood outside the building, her gaze falling on Jingli, her eyes filled with amazement, and a hint of surprise flashed across them.

For some reason, a nameless feeling spread in her heart, as if her childhood toy had been snatched away by someone else.

She quickly suppressed this emotion, her smile radiant, "Jiang Ling Su greets Sister Jingli, you truly are... a beauty that shakes the heavens."

Jiang Ling Su was always confident in her appearance, but upon seeing Jingli, she couldn't help but feel a sense of insecurity.

"She's also a beauty that can bring disaster to a country." The Moon Maiden, Jingli, looked at Jiang Ling Su and couldn't help but comment.

"I can't compare to Sister, who can make my Senior Brother so infatuated. Such a skill, I'm afraid, is better than mine." Jiang Ling Su subconsciously spoke.

She immediately regretted it, wondering why she sounded so ambiguous.

But upon reflection, being ambiguous was just that, and there was nothing wrong with it. She made peace with herself.

Jingli looked at Jiang Ling Su, her face filled with a charming smile, and the two exchanged pleasantries, unaware that her hand was on Qi Yuan's arm, lightly scratching it, seemingly expressing her emotions.

"If my junior sister is willing, she might do even better than me." Jingli said.

The current her, where was the detached and cold temperament of a Moon Palace fairy? Instead, she seemed to have fallen into the mortal realm.

"Hey, why are the two of you speaking with such fiery words? Have you met before, or is it... one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers?" Qi Yuan, believing himself to have high IQ and EQ, detected the confrontation in their words.

"No." Jingli replied.

Jiang Ling Su also remained silent, and the two seemed to have stopped their exchange.

"Junior Sister, let's have dinner together later, and I'll take Jingli to see the peak." Qi Yuan looked at Jiang Ling Su, extending an invitation.

Since the relationship between the two seemed to have a flaw, spending more time together would foster intimacy.

After all, on Bluestar, if two children had a confrontation in class, a high EQ teacher would make them hug and look at each other.

Qi Yuan was also highly emotionally intelligent, and this method was naturally a good way to steal.

"Sure!" Jiang Ling Su didn't refuse Qi Yuan's invitation, and a faint ripple appeared in her heart.

On the other side, Qi Yuan held Jing Li's jade hand, and the two of them arrived at the summit of Rainbow Peak.

The pavilions and terraces were shrouded in mist.

The immortal palace was hidden in the clouds, appearing ethereal.

"This is... the Ancient Ki Pine Tree!"

Jing Li stopped beneath the Ancient Ki Pine Tree, her eyes filled with deep longing.

Countless memories flooded her mind at this moment.

Qi Yuan and Jing Li stood side by side, calmly speaking, "This tree was brought here from another place, and it's much smaller than the one on the Moonlit Continent."

His thoughts also carried a hint of melancholy.

Every game is actually a segment of life, an experience.

Even after perfectly completing a game, there's always some reluctance and lingering feelings.

Fortunately, on the Moonlit Continent, he fulfilled his wish, met Qing, and held Jing Li's hand.

But what about other games?

And the next game?

At this moment, Jing Li turned to look at Qi Yuan, and a seductive flame flashed in her cold eyes, as red and passionate as the red skirt she wore.

"Husband... I want you..."

It seemed that only by clinging tightly to each other could they slightly ease the lingering longing.

Under the Ancient Ki Pine Tree, the ripples settled.

Chaos Star Domain.

Green Mountain Realm.

Ninghe City.

The candle's yellow-orange flame barely illuminated a small area within the room.

A wisp of black smoke rose, and the lampshade was covered in soot.

Huang Yanshou frowned as he watched the old man across from him, "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

The old man was five feet tall and wore a felt hat, making him look rather comical.

"Young Master Huang, rest assured. Since he's entered my Insane Institute, there's no way that Qi Yuan can survive!"

The old man's name was Zhou Ya, and he was the director of the Insane Institute in Ninghe County.

Ninghe County was located in Jiazan Prefecture of Jiangzhou, and the county's population was not large, with only slightly over three hundred thousand residents.

The Insane Institute, hmm... in the terms of the Bluestar, it was a mental hospital.

Jiazan Prefecture had many demonic spirits, and there were quite a few commoners who encountered terrifying demonic spirits, losing their souls and going insane, biting and harming people.

To prevent these insane people from harming others, the authorities had them all admitted to the Insane Institute.

Of course, the Insane Institute didn't only house the insane but also normal people.

Today, Huang Yanshou had entrusted one person to Zhou Ya, admitting him to the Insane Institute.

"Although this boy has no parents and no one cares about his life and death, he did enter the Shen family as a son-in-law last year. If the Shen family comes looking for him..." Huang Yanshou hesitated.

The Shen family was a wealthy and influential clan in Jiazan Prefecture, and their eldest daughter was famous on the Hundred Fragrance List.

Unexpectedly, a month ago, the eldest daughter of the Shen family got married.

And the person she married was surprisingly a bankrupt from Ninghe County.

Of course, he entered the Shen family as a son-in-law.

He had received instructions from a high-ranking official to take advantage of the son-in-law's return to his hometown and eliminate him.

As for the method, it was simple and brutal.

First, they would slander the son-in-law, saying that he had lustful intentions and raped a woman, causing her death. The son-in-law managed to escape with his life, but he became insane and was sent to the Insane Institute.

The son-in-law had originally had a bad reputation and was known for being weak and incompetent, and he also had a lustful heart but no courage."

"Don't worry, within a month, the Insane Institute will be haunted by demonic spirits, and he will definitely die. Even if the Shen family comes, they will only see his corpse." Director Zhou Ya knocked on the table and said thoughtfully.

"Is a month too long?" Huang Yanshou took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Zhou Ya's pocket.

Zhou Ya's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, within three days, this son-in-law will definitely die!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanshou immediately felt relieved, "Thank you, Director."

However, in his heart, he held some contempt for Zhou Ya, a greedy and lustful old man.

In the Insane Institute, there were quite a few insane women with attractive appearances who had also been insulted by him.

"It's nothing," Zhou Ya narrowed his eyes, looking lecherous as he thought of something, "If I remember correctly, this Qi Yuan's parents were probably tool masters, and their home had some precious... magical artifacts?"

He became greedy.

Tool masters held a high status in this world.

They possessed exquisite skills and could create powerful magical artifacts, which could then be used to suppress demonic spirits.

Powerful magical artifacts were priceless.

Qi Yuan's son-in-law had entered the Shen family as a son-in-law precisely because of his relationship with the Qi family.

Otherwise, with his weak and incompetent nature, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter as a son-in-law!

"His parents are already dead, and they left nothing behind," Huang Yanshou quickly said.

Even if they had left something, he certainly wouldn't give it to Zhou Ya.

The Qi family's belongings had already been given to that young master.

Huang Yanshou had a guess about that young master's intentions towards the son-in-law, but he didn't dare to voice it.

First, it was because that young master liked the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Second, it was because Qi Yuan's parents had offended that young master's family, and moreover, that young master seemed to want to find something in the Qi family.

"He's truly a stingy ghost." Zhou Ya pouted, and as he thought of something, a lecherous smile appeared on his face, "Yesterday, a woman in her thirties came to the Insane Institute, still breastfeeding her child. Tsk tsk, she still has a charming figure. Young Master Huang, do you want... it'll be quite interesting."

"Huang Yanshou shivered in disgust.

Although he enjoyed the company of women and often visited brothels to listen to music, he had never expected this old man to be so shameless, even playing with the insane.

'No.' Huang Yanshou refused.

After speaking, he hurriedly left.

...

The Ye Mountain Lake shimmered with vast waves, its surface sparkling. This lake was the largest in Jiangzhou.

In Jiangzhou, hundreds of thousands of fishermen relied on this lake for their livelihood.

At this moment, the lake was unusually quiet, with few boats and fishermen in sight.

At a dock, a notably different boat was moored. Unlike the simple fishing boats, this vessel appeared luxurious, resembling a pleasure boat for noble officials.

A bird suddenly dove into the boat and quickly disappeared from view.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from within the cabin.

A pair of long legs came into view, slender and taut, drawing attention.

She exuded an icy aura, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her face contorted in anger. "Miss, that old man... defiled a widow, encountered a demonic spirit, and was sent to the Insane Institute!"

The seated woman paused, furrowing her brows as she spoke, "Is his character so depraved?"

Although she was married to that man, they had never met, and on their wedding day, she hadn't even shown up.

She had heard rumors about him, his moral character was despicable, but he was also cowardly and incompetent.

Now, he had even gone as far as to defile a woman?

This left her deeply disappointed.

"Miss, he's just a hypocrite. Aside from having a good-looking exterior, he's useless!" The long-legged woman spoke with dissatisfaction. "When he was in the mansion, I secretly followed him. The butler scolded him, and he trembled, not daring to argue. On his way out, he saw an orphaned beggar fleeing from disaster, and he kicked that seven-year-old child away. He's a bully, and I despise him."

As she spoke, she panted, clearly frustrated with the old man.

"This is a 1619 book, and it's not wrong!"

Upon hearing this, the woman was extremely disappointed. "Sigh... I never thought... Qi Shi's descendant would be so despicable. His spirit in heaven..."

Qi Shi was an Artifact Master, a powerful one at that.

In the past, in order to... Qi Shi disappeared, and ultimately met his end.

This left the woman in awe.

But his son is so corrupt, how could she not be angry?

"Go and bring him back. Investigate the matter clearly. We can't let that innocent woman die in vain!" The woman spoke, her voice cold as ice.

"Yes, Miss!" The long-legged woman nodded, but then hesitated, "This Ye Mountain Lake..."

"Rest assured, I won't take risks until I have a foolproof plan." The woman spoke, her voice still cold, and a glint of killing intent flashed in her eyes. "We need to investigate thoroughly. Is someone framing him? If this is because of me, it's my fault."

Regardless, that innocent woman who died unjustly, her family should be well taken care of."

The long-legged woman nodded. "Yes, Miss!"

...

Ninghe County.

The Insane Institute.

The night sky was pitch-black, with stars sparsely scattered above.

"Is this a new game?"

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

At that moment, the room was in complete darkness, and he couldn't see his fingers in front of him. In the distance, a faint candlelight illuminated a figure, doing something unknown.

The game's prompt sound played at this moment.

[Main Quest: Play the role of mortals, understand mortals, create mortals, and become a deity.

Begin the Play as Mortal Quest.

Play as Mortal One: Qi Yuan, Shen Family's Son-in-Law.

Play as Mortal Two: Shen Lin, information unknown.

Play as Mortal Three: A Kitchen Knife.

Play as Mortal Four: Unlocked.]



In an instant, a vast amount of information flooded Qi Yuan's mind.

At this moment, Qi Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the new game, along with some speculations.

"Is this played character... my blood that dripped into the game?"

Qi Yuan furrowed his brows.

This game's quest was a role-playing mission, and it aligned well with Qi Yuan's goal of becoming a deity.

The path to deityhood lies in creation.

But how can one create without understanding mortals?

This quest seemed to cater to him, allowing him to play the role of mortals.

Coincidentally, his blood had dripped into the game world, allowing it to operate and load.

Regarding the three mortals he just played, Qi Yuan had a feeling.

He seemed to be playing as his own blood.

Or rather... the life born from his blood.

"My blood won't do, how could it give birth to a person like Qi Yuan, such a... waste?"

After absorbing the memories, Qi Yuan was speechless.

This Qi Yuan was truly a waste!

"As expected, everything I have is a result of my hard work and struggle."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

This world's Qi Yuan was not only a waste but also a scoundrel.

"Let me play the role of a scoundrel, or a son-in-law?"

Qi Yuan furrowed his brows.

Although his acting skills were superb, playing a scoundrel was beyond him.

But playing a son-in-law, he could imagine.

"Playing a son-in-law, I should be good at it. On Bluestar, I've watched too many TV dramas about son-in-laws."

It's all about pouring bathwater for your mother-in-law and then getting scolded! I can accept pouring bathwater, but getting scolded is unacceptable!"

Qi Yuan began to carefully analyze the three mortals he was to play.

In the first life, he was a redundant son-in-law, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Divine Arrival... What does that mean?" Qi Yuan frowned.

If he had the memories of the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan, then he seemed to have none of the memories of Divine Arrival.

If he had to say he did, there was only one scene, where he saw countless corpses and countless heavenly thunderbolts.

"Is Divine Arrival a person, or what?"

For a while, Qi Yuan couldn't figure it out.

However, he understood that as he fully assumed the role of the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan, the subsequent information would gradually unlock.

"Divine Arrival is fine, but this role as a kitchen knife... What the heck?"

Qi Yuan was completely speechless.

He himself had a kitchen knife, which he kept on Rainbow Peak to guard his home.

As a result, he was asked to play the role of a kitchen knife, and he himself became his own pet. This was truly speechless.

"This world..."

Qi Yuan began to search through the memories of the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan.

This world was not the same as the world of the Sixth Heaven of the Immortal World.

The stars reflecting the heavens were not visible here.

There were also stars in the sky of this world, but they were obviously different from those in the Immortal World.

"This place is very similar to the ancient times of Bluestar, but there are also some extraordinary people known as Armament Commanders.

Armament Commanders are powerful in their own right, and they use magical artifacts to suppress demonic spirits."

Demonic spirits, when transferred to Bluestar, are like ghosts and aberrations.

They appear mysteriously and unpredictably, often causing great disasters.

Ordinary people have no ability to resist demonic spirits.

Only Armament Commanders, relying on their own strength and powerful magical artifacts, can fight against demonic spirits.

However, the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan was too incompetent. In his entire life, he had never seen a magical artifact, an Armament Commander, or even a demonic spirit. He was truly the most useless of the useless.

"Can't I cultivate in this world?" Qi Yuan prepared to cultivate the Immortal Dao techniques.

But he discovered that cultivation was impossible here.

There was no spiritual energy in this world, nor were there any suitable factors for cultivating the Immortal Dao.

"It seems I'll have to kill to level up," Qi Yuan sighed.

Although he couldn't cultivate, when he looked around, he noticed that everyone had a health bar above their heads.

What did having a health bar mean? It meant that they could be killed, and he could gain experience! Of course, Qi Yuan was inherently lawful and good, and he never killed the innocent.

Moreover, with his current weak strength, who could he kill?

If he encountered an Armament Commander, he might face a 'game over' situation.

Therefore, he needed to accumulate experience and level up slowly.

Currently, the crisis he faced was quite serious.

The widow, indeed, had tempted the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan, and he even felt a stirring in his loins. Unfortunately, this young virgin was too weak, and when he saw the widow's alluring body, his blood rushed to his head, and he fainted. He was even worse than those male leads in Bluestar TV shows who would start nosebleeds at the sight of a beautiful woman.

Later, the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan was framed for molesting the widow and was sent to the Insane Institute.

With the underdeveloped mind of the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan, he didn't think this was a big deal. He believed that once someone from the Shen family arrived, the situation would be easily resolved.

But Qi Yuan was someone with both high intelligence and emotional intelligence. He immediately noticed the problem.

"Wait, where did the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan go?" Qi Yuan suddenly froze.

According to his memories, after the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan was sent to the Insane Institute, he had been lying in bed, unconscious.

However, after Qi Yuan descended into the game, the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan disappeared without a trace.

Just then, the distant lights flickered and trembled, slowly approaching Qi Yuan. An old man with a pale face, as if wearing corpse paint, opened his mouth and said, "Are you wondering where the person on the bed went?"

The old man's face bore a strange smile, which seemed particularly eerie in the candlelight.

Especially his skin was very smooth, unlike the bark-like skin of ordinary old people.

"Where did he go?" Qi Yuan looked at the old man curiously and asked.

Did this guy see the redundant son-in-law Qi Yuan disappear?

"He... was eaten by you!" The pale-faced old man said firmly.

The flickering candlelight cast his shadow on the wall, constantly shaking.

"I ate him?" Qi Yuan blinked and opened his mouth, looking tense. "Help me check, is there any stuck in my teeth? Are there any leftovers in my teeth?"

Qi Yuan was very nervous.

If that scumbag Qi Yuan was stuck in his teeth, would he have bad breath? Or would he smell of corpses!

The pale-faced old man, upon hearing this, leaned in closely and examined carefully, "You ate very cleanly, not a single crumb left... Hmm... Grandpa's tummy is hungry!"

He looked rather pitiful as he spoke.

Qi Yuan was speechless.

Was this old man truly insane?

"I'm hungry too," Qi Yuan said, exasperated.

The pale-faced old man, upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, whispered mysteriously, "Actually, I know your identity. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan looked at the pale-faced old man again.

Was this person truly a madman?

"You are a heavenly deity, sprinkling nectar, saving all living beings, a god of universal salvation!"

The pale-faced old man spoke with a twisted expression, as if suppressing some pain.

Qi Yuan noticed that in his veins, there seemed to be black lines flowing.

Suddenly, the distortion on his face disappeared, and he turned to Qi Yuan, whispering, "Heavenly Deity, I want to follow you and overthrow this bitter world!"

"???"

"Grandpa's tummy is hungry, wants big bread!"

"White-faced steamed bun?"
