I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Do you think they think I'm just bluffing? They think I'm just trying to scare them, and they don't care about what I just said. Actually, some of what I said was indeed meant to scare them, but whether it actually worked, I'm not even sure myself. It would be best if it did, but if it didn't, it just means one thing: we're not very lucky. If we're unlucky, then we need to find someone with better luck. Actually, if we're talking about who's the luckiest, it's naturally my younger brother. But I always feel like something's off about him. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but I just feel like there's something really off about him. But whatever, let them do what they want. It doesn't matter to me. These things are completely changeable for me. Let them do what they want, what does it have to do with me? You agree, right? That's the point. What others think is their business, what does it have to do with me, right? I hope I can scare them all."

"If we can scare them, then I'll have very little trouble. If we can't, then I'll have a lot of trouble. I hope they can be scared. If we can't, then we'll be the ones in trouble. What kind of revenge will they take? Will they tear us to pieces and then destroy the evidence? I think they will. After all, they've done this kind of thing at least eight thousand times, maybe even eighty thousand times. It's definitely a lot, at least I think it's a lot. I just don't know when they'll make their move. If they do it now, then we're really unlucky, extremely unlucky, unlucky beyond imagination."

"I hope he can keep going and work hard. Don't think about anything else, don't think about anything else."

"By the way, what are we going to do next? Should we try to fool a few people? If we can fool them, that would be great. If we can only mean one thing: our speaking skills aren't very good. If we were good at speaking, we could definitely fool them. If we can't fool them, then we should really work on our speaking skills. I hope we can get enough practice."

"Isn't that wishful thinking? With just a few words from you, you think you can fool them? They're not that easy to fool. After all, each of them has lived for countless years. Fooling them is simply impossible, let alone scaring them. That's completely unrealistic. You really think you're a god."

The woman before them was none other than the Ninth Princess, but the eldest brother was very patient with his younger sister, and said with a smile.

"Of course I know it's unlikely we can fool them, but right now we have no other choice. Don't you think so? Honestly, it's a very good idea. If we can fool them, our luck will be great. That way, we'll have far less trouble. If we're unlucky, it just means one thing: we're really, really unlucky."

"Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking, and I know what you're going to do. Actually, it's nothing. Do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do."

"What exactly do you mean by all this mess? I always feel like you have ulterior motives, and you're just messing around to fool those guys."

"Since you know, why did you expose me? I was just trying to fool those old geezers, because they're so incredibly annoying, you know? They're just so incredibly annoying. If they had even a shred of intelligence, they wouldn't be so bothersome, but they're utterly brainless. That's what annoys me the most, what gives me the biggest headache. I can't possibly deal with them all. If I did, the consequences would be far too severe—so severe that even I can't bear the consequences. In this situation, what can I do? I have absolutely no way. Not just a tiny bit, but absolutely no way, you know? If I had even the slightest chance, I wouldn't hesitate to wipe out all those old geezers. Seriously, if I had even the slightest chance..." Even the slightest inconvenience would make me tear those old geezers to pieces, destroy the evidence, and silence them all. I absolutely will not let them get away with it; I can guarantee that. It is precisely because of this thought that I have been able to do so much. But I also know that this thought is merely wishful thinking; in reality, it is almost impossible to carry out. Not because it is impossible, but because the price to pay is simply too high—so high that we cannot bear it. Under such circumstances, what can we say? We can't say anything, we have no way to explain it. So, under such circumstances, what can you do? We have absolutely no way. Don't you agree? We have neither a single, utterly, nor a single, insurmountable method.

"If there were even the slightest way, I wouldn't be in such a predicament. It's precisely because I have no way at all that I'm so troubled. I just hope that a female strategist or someone who can help me out will appear. I really have no other options. I have absolutely no other way."

"Okay, I know this is something that can only happen in my dreams, and I've never imagined such a thing. But sometimes, there are some things that I have to hope for. If I don't hope for them, I can't get over it in my heart."

"I always felt you were overthinking things. Some things can't be done just by thinking about them. The price and effort required for some things are far beyond your imagination. You should be very clear about that, right? No need to say more, no need to ask more, you should already know." "You're right, you're absolutely right, completely right. You could say it's entirely correct, and I really need to admit that. But there are some things I have to do, and I have to do them clearly. If I don't do them clearly, many people will be implicated because of me. I can't let them call me stupid, right? I can't let them call me stupid, can I? I can call others stupid, that's enough. I can't let others call me stupid. That's absolutely impossible, not even the slightest possibility. No matter what I do, I will absolutely not allow that to happen. I can only criticize others, but others absolutely cannot criticize my bottom line. If someone criticizes me, I will definitely make that person die a horrible death." "I can do it, I can do it, I'm capable of doing it. If I can't even do this, then I'm truly useless, utterly worthless. To be honest, it's true, I really am worthless if I can't do it. You say in this situation, I might not be able to do it, but I must do it, no matter the cost, no matter what the cost, I must do this. If I don't do it, I'll feel extremely uncomfortable. That's why I said, no matter the cost, I must do it, I absolutely must do it, not doing it is unacceptable, not doing it is not an option. No one can stop me, no one can halt me, that's my thought."

"But I think you're really stupid, and it's really stupid of you to just talk to yourself instead of doing something."

Faced with his younger sister's mockery, the eldest brother could only smile helplessly and then said.

“I don’t want to be this stupid, but I won’t allow anyone to call me stupid. That’s the bottom line, including you. So you’re going to have to endure something very painful.”

"As for what kind of painful thing it is, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll definitely tell you when I do, and I'll definitely let you experience it. Alright, now you should do what you're supposed to do, instead of wasting your time talking to me. You should focus on your cultivation now. As for how to cultivate, that's your own business. Anyway, I've already given you the cultivation techniques. Whether you can succeed or not is entirely up to you and has nothing to do with me. Don't you agree?"

"If you can successfully cultivate these techniques, you will definitely become an unparalleled expert. If you cannot succeed, then the possibility of becoming an unparalleled expert is extremely slim. At least, that's my opinion. You must successfully cultivate those techniques and supernatural abilities I've given you, no matter the cost. You must succeed, you can pay any price, but you must succeed. That's the bottom line. If you can't do it, it only proves one thing: you're incredibly stupid, hopelessly stupid. Just like when you insulted me, you really are a fool, a truly, utterly stupid fool. If you had even a shred of sense, you wouldn't have insulted me." After all, I'm your biggest support right now. Do you know that I'm your biggest and most reliable support? Yet you still have to scold me. Isn't that stupid? Honestly, you really are a fool, incredibly stupid. Sometimes I don't want to say anything, but sometimes I really have a headache, a huge headache, because I don't know how to persuade you. If you continue to be so foolish, it won't benefit any of us at all, not even the slightest bit. What am I supposed to do then? I have absolutely no idea what to do, don't you think? Sigh, it's really a headache."

"Actually, you don't need to be so troubled. As long as you do what I say, there's no need to be so troubled. You should understand that. Why are you still so troubled?"

"Because you are all so incredibly stupid, utterly stupid, you know? You are all so incredibly stupid. If you had even a shred of sense, you wouldn't be so stupid, but you are, undeniably, incredibly stupid. I really don't want anything to do with you, but I have no choice. Because I need your help. I need your help to accomplish what I need to do. Sigh, it's a really troublesome thing, a really troublesome thing. If it weren't so troublesome, I wouldn't be in this situation. Okay, if you find this annoying, you don't have to listen to what I'm saying, because it's pointless. Even if you listen, it won't change anything. It's not that I'm belittling you, it's just the truth. It won't change anything useful. You don't need to continue listening, because it's meaningless, but I also believe it's meaningless, that's the truth."

"You don't need to blame yourself or anything."

"When did I say I would blame myself? I won't blame myself at all, okay? After all, these are all your mistakes, what does it have to do with me? You tell me, it has nothing to do with me at all. That's clearly how it is, so why should I blame myself? I'm not going to blame myself in the first place, okay?"

"However, you're also right. The most important thing in this world is to become stronger, to cultivate and become stronger as quickly as possible. That's the most important thing, and it's something we must do. So there are actually many things we need to do. There are really many things we need to do, and if we don't do them, then no one else will be willing to do them. Those things are just too important. Perhaps others don't think they're important, but we can't think that way, because those things are extremely important, very important. This is a very crucial matter, a very crucial matter. There can be no mistakes, not even the slightest mistake. This is absolutely unacceptable. You and I should both be very clear about this." (End of Chapter)
