Swordholder

The Purple Mansion Realm.

That person is supposedly a real person.

Purple Mansion True Man!

It sounds impressive.

Chen Yuan knew the honorific title for this realm of cultivation.

The Spiritual Aperture Realm is for minor cultivators.

The Dharma Body Realm is for Great Cultivators.

Huang Tingjing was a Taoist.

The Purple Mansion Realm is the realm of a True Person.

In this remote and impoverished place, a True Man of the Purple Mansion appeared?

That would be terrible!

It seems we really can't stay in Qingshan Village any longer.

Chen Yuan pondered to himself.

Are you a villager here?

At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Oh, right, A-Yuan, this is my savior, Chen Zhaoning."

Li Wei then realized what had happened and quickly pointed at the girl, saying with a face full of gratitude, "She saved me."

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Zhaoning warily and said, "A mere Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator, could you possibly rescue yourself right under Black Mountain Granny's nose?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoning's expression grew even more wary, his grip on the long sword remaining tight: "You're also a cultivator?"

She glanced around the village and asked in surprise, "There are cultivators here?"

Chen Yuan ignored her and looked at Li Wei instead.

"It's a long story, A-Yuan, is there anything to eat?"

Li Wei swallowed hard, his lips pale, and asked.

Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Zhaoning again.

"I guarantee she's a good person!"

Li Wei patted his chest and said.

He seemed to trust the girl completely.

"Okay, I believe you. Come with me."

Chen Yuan nodded and led the two back to his residence.

"Brother Yuan, who is it?"

Nuomi, still sleepy-eyed, rubbed her eyes and walked out of her room.

She was wrapped in a tattered floral cotton-padded jacket and looked at Li Wei and Chen Zhaoning with a puzzled expression.

Wow, what a beautiful older sister!

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Li Wei again, "What an adorable big brother."

Li Wei: "???"

This was the first time he had ever been called cute.

He immediately flashed a fawning smile: "My name is Li Wei, little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Nuomi (sticky rice)."

Nuomi answered crisply, glancing at Chen Yuan unconsciously.

"He's my childhood friend."

Chen Yuandao.

"What is a childhood friend?"

Nuomi blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

"Yeah, he's a brother I grew up with."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to see if there was any food left.

Seeing this, Nuomi quickly poured a glass of water for the two of them.

Li Wei and Chen Zhaoning drank it down in big gulps, and their complexions finally eased a bit.

Next, while cooking porridge, Chen Yuan chatted casually with Li Wei, asking him how he came to be in this world.

It turns out that, in Li Wei's hazy memory, he seemed to have been dug out of the ruins of gods and demons by an official force called the Wuxiang Sect.

At that time, the Wuxiang Sect regarded him as an ancient remnant and conducted various experiments on him.

For example, by injecting various kinds of divine medicine made from animal blood.

Later, Li Wei couldn't bear it and died. He was then given to the Black Mountain Granny by the Wuxiang Sect as a sacrificial offering.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei came back to life.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was filled with shock and disbelief.

I was also picked up by Uncle Lu from a mass grave on the edge of the ruins of gods and demons!

So, was he also dug out by the Wuxiang Sect and used as a test subject?

Just because he's dead, you throw him away?

Just like Li Wei?

However, since Wuxiang Sect saw that Black Mountain Granny needed more "lucky pigs", they sent him over as well.

……

Chen Yuan's thoughts were churning, but his hands kept moving.

Soon, he brought a large bowl of porridge to the two of them.

Li Wei didn't stand on ceremony and urged Chen Zhaoning to eat quickly.

Chen Zhaoning was initially a little reserved, but seeing Li Wei wolfing down his food without any problem, she became even hungrier and couldn't resist any longer, so she hurriedly started eating as well.

"Awei, tell me about her background."

Chen Yuan sat to one side, looked at Li Wei, and said in a low voice.

Li Wei immediately recounted Chen Zhaoning's background.

It turns out that Chen Zhaoning is the eldest daughter of a thousand-year-old family in Tianqing County. She ran away from home in a fit of pique after arguing with her family.

Little did they know the dangers outside. When they passed through Wuqiao Town, they were knocked unconscious and taken to Heishan.

They were able to escape because Chen Zhaoning's third uncle came to their door and fought a big battle with Granny Heishan.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhaoning's third uncle died in battle.

According to Li Wei, he deliberately exposed his own internal organs...

At this point in Li Wei's speech, Chen Zhaoning's expression darkened, and her face was filled with grief.

She could no longer hold back, and large tears streamed down her face, wetting her cheeks.

She quickly turned to the side, sobbing, "It's all my fault for being so willful. If I hadn't run away from home, my third uncle wouldn't have been killed by that tree demon while trying to save me... Waaaaah..."

"Big sister, don't cry. You're crying so hard, it makes Nuomi want to cry too."

Xiao Nuomi stepped forward to comfort Chen Zhaoning.

Chen Zhaoning hugged her tightly, fighting back tears, letting out low sobs, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Chen Yuan looked at Li Wei helplessly.

I asked Li Wei for all the information he knew.

He wanted to know everything about this world.

"By the way, A-Yuan, what's your cheat system? I've heard that transmigrators all have cheat systems."

After finishing his porridge, Li Wei felt a little better, but dared not make a sound. He quietly leaned close to Chen Yuan's ear and whispered, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not.

It's not that I don't believe in Li Wei, but rather that I don't believe in Chen Zhaoning.

His greatest secret is his ability to devour and contain demonic and malevolent spirits.

Lu Chengfeng knew the secret, but since the other party was his savior, he could naturally trust him.

He looked at Li Wei and asked, "And yours?"

"I……"

Li Wei glanced at Chen Zhaoning beside him, then furtively lowered his head, saying, "It's a cheat code."

"Um?"

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't understand, Li Wei put his arm around Chen Yuan, turned his back to the two women, and gave Chen Yuan the middle finger.

Chen Yuan: "..."

"Little fatty, are you provoking me?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of danger.

"Little Fatty" is Li Wei's nickname.

But the next moment, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed sharply!

Li Wei's fingers slowly turned golden, as if cast from gold.

Noticing the shock in Chen Yuan's eyes, Li Wei chuckled and his fingers vibrated rapidly, the frequency increasing until it left afterimages.

"..."

Chen Yuan was speechless. "Little Fatty, is your cheat system... legitimate?"

"Sigh, I don't know if it's proper or not, since no woman is going to try and take my hand out to me."

Li Wei said with a sigh.

But soon, his face lit up with surprise: "Hehe, A Yuan, I'm afraid the two of us are the chosen ones of this world."

"Bullshit chosen one."

Chen Yuan laughed and scolded, "Others who transmigrate become kings and generals, sleeping on the laps of beauties while waking up to wield power over the world!"

Otherwise, they are born with a supreme divine body, destined to dominate all ages.

"But what about us? We were transported directly to a world shrouded in terror and eeriness, starting on hellish difficulty!"

Li Wei wholeheartedly agreed with this statement and fell into deep thought.

If it weren't for Chen Zhaoning, he would have died long ago.

There were more than a dozen boys and girls who escaped with Chen Zhaoning, but they all died on the way.

Only the two of them managed to get down the mountain with great difficulty, and when they saw this village, they thought of coming here to seek refuge.

Fortunately, he ran into Chen Yuan!

There's always a way out!

"Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on."

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Chen Yuan was in high spirits and said with great enthusiasm, "Once I become a Purple Mansion True Person, I'll take you flying high."

"Hmph, what a braggart!"

Chen Zhaoning snorted coldly upon hearing Chen Yuan's words.

Nuomi turned around and made a face at Chen Yuan: "Hehe, Brother Yuan is a big braggart."

Li Wei, who was lost in thought, suddenly perked up: "Who? Who can play this?"

Chen Yuan gave him a disdainful look: "Li Wei, your thoughts are too filthy. You're always trying to brag."

"What's so disgusting? Don't you like it?" Li Wei curled his lip, looked at Chen Yuan, and said disdainfully, "I don't know who said that a gentleman uses words, not fists."

"But in my opinion, occasionally taking action and giving your hands a chance to 'show off' can also help you relax."

"After all, it's so hard to find someone who can speak well and has good eloquence."

Li Wei spoke with a look of longing.

Chen Yuan: "..."

"We're already here, and you're still thinking about those things?"

Chen Yuan remained silent.

Li Wei spoke eloquently, spouting his own twisted theories, claiming that if he used it in a dangerous situation, it could ward off evil spirits.

Chen Zhaoning finally confirmed that Chen Yuan was indeed Li Wei's fellow townsman.

The two were talking in strange ways that she couldn't understand at all; it sounded like some kind of code.

The words "92," "95," and "98," and even the elegant phrase "playing the flute," sounded vulgar coming from their mouths, leaving her completely bewildered.

"Yes, we have guests over."

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.

Li Wei stopped abruptly and looked sharply towards the door.

"Father is back."

Nuomi happily broke free from Chen Zhaoning's arms and pounced over like a little rabbit, hugging Lu Chengfeng's leg and looking up at him.

"Father, that's Brother Yuan's friend."

Nuomi, her face beaming with excitement, introduced the product to Lu Chengfeng.

Li Wei quickly stood up, his face plastered with a fawning smile: "Hello, Uncle Lu."

Chen Zhaoning, too, sniffed, wiped away her tears, and called out, "Uncle Lu."

But the next moment, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly!

Lu Chengfeng's pale, deathly face with blue eyes instantly made her tense up!

"I……"

Li Wei was also trembling all over, his teeth chattering. He slowly looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan indicated that the two were alright.

He looked at Lu Chengfeng and saw that the other man was covered in vines and leaves. He wondered where Lu Chengfeng had gone so late at night.

"Nuomi, Ayuan, take good care of your friends, I'm sleepy."

Lu Chengfeng spoke slowly, "I just had a fight with a tree, I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep."

As he spoke, he revealed a set of yellowed teeth and two sharp fangs, with black bloodstains even at the corners of his mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode into the house, his body exuding a chilling aura and the sour stench of rotting flesh.

He ignored the group and went straight back to his room.

Li Wei and Chen Zhaoning's hearts almost skipped a few beats.

"this……"

Li Wei swallowed hard, stiffly turned his head, and looked at Chen Yuan.
