After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

This chapter has not been approved.

Zhao Wuji did not know Zhou Yan, and did not even know Zhou Yan's name.

But this didn't stop Zhao Wuji from thinking every day about whether Zhou Yan, Nuwa, and his current situation were real.

How can I get out of this false world?

Because these two thoughts appeared too frequently and the emotions were too intense, Zhao Wuji saw Zhou Yan and, contrary to his expectations, immediately drew his sword and killed the young man. He just stared blankly as Zhou Yan walked past him.

After a long while, Zhao Wuji turned around and looked at Zhou Yan's departing figure.

A young eunuch walked up from behind Zhao Wuji and bowed.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to call a sedan chair to carry you?"

Zhao Wuji is currently very favored by the emperor, and the little eunuch can't resist trying to ride on his coattails.

Zhao Wuji's gaze remained fixed on Zhou Yan, who was walking away. A few seconds later, Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and said...

"Who was that eunuch who just left?"

The eunuch beside Zhao Wuji pondered for a moment.

"He is Xiao Fugui, a servant who just entered the palace ten days ago."

Zhao Wuji nodded, said nothing, and limped away.

……

Yanfu Hall.

In the small courtyard in front of the palace, more than thirty palace maids stood in a row. In front of them stood the Wuguanjianhou, a sixth-rank official of the Imperial Observatory, and two Wuguansichen, an eighth-rank official behind him, who stood quietly, their three pairs of eyes darting back and forth between the palace maids.

The raw material for refining the elixir of immortality is the menstrual blood of virgins. To ensure the purity of the raw material, Taoist priests from the Imperial Observatory would come every so often to check whether these elixirs were still virgins.

If someone loses their virginity, they will be arrested and beheaded.

However, these palace maids were well-behaved today. The three Taoist priests from the Imperial Observatory glanced over and, after confirming that each palace maid was a virgin, the sixth-rank official, Wuguanjianhou, turned and left.

The remaining two officials waved their hands, summoning several eunuchs to bring bowls of medicine for the palace maids who had undergone medical examinations.

Standing in the corner, Dong Guan Zheng An Ningbai slowly raised her head, looking at the immortal soup that a eunuch had brought to her with a complicated expression.

He has been here for three months. Because of his poor looks, Dong Guanzheng does not need to engage in dual cultivation with the current emperor and is constantly being bullied by him.

But as a low-ranking palace maid, An Ningbai, who had lived a life of luxury in the Imperial Observatory and had countless people doing things for her with just a word, now had to do all sorts of chores, eat meals with very little meat, and be scolded by the head palace maid for the slightest mistake.

During these three months, An Ningbai was caught and slapped five times, and was punished by not being allowed to eat thirteen times. In addition, the damage caused by this elixir made An Ningbai's hands and feet ache every day when she worked, and her whole body ached terribly when she rested at night. When she went to the toilet, she could see her metabolic waste products tinged with blood.

I should be dying, but this body is dragging on with these injuries, refusing to die no matter what.

The Winter Official accepted the elixir and drank the soup under the watchful eyes of the young eunuch.

The young eunuch took the soup bowl with satisfaction and then went to take soup bowls from the other palace maids.

The cleanup was done very quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour. The eunuchs, including Xiao Lu, left Yanfu Hall together with the Qin Sanjian Wuguansi Sichen, who had finished their work.

As soon as the group left, several dark figures covered An Ningbai. Before the owner of one of the figures could even speak, he slapped An Ningbai across the face. Heaven knows that Dong Guanzheng, who was once known for his ability to tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands, was now sent staggering back several steps by this slap and fell to the ground.

After a long while, the frail Dongguan finally raised his head and weakly looked ahead.

Three palace maids stood there. One of them, a burly maid, had her facial muscles twitching. Her eyes, which were squeezed into small corners by the flesh on her face, were filled with a ferocious rage as she stared at the Winter Official.

Dong Guanzheng was not a commoner who had been submissive and oppressed since childhood. As a proud and determined person, he had been bullied several times in the palace. So he secretly hid a pair of scissors, waiting for the palace maids who bullied him to come and bully him again, so that he could fight back with his life.

But an unexpected event occurred during the resistance. Just as Dongguan was about to kill someone, he suddenly lost his strength and could only let the scissors pierce the bully's clothes before he was unable to move forward.

Realizing that she had almost been injured or even killed, the bully flew into a rage and led a group of sisters to beat up Dong Guanzheng.

That time, Dong Guan was beaten so badly that his ribs were broken and his internal organs were ruptured. For a normal person, this would definitely be a fatal injury.

Dong Guanzheng felt a sense of relief as her life slipped away. After being moved back to her dormitory room and sleeping for one night, her ribs and internal organs were miraculously healed the next day.

From that moment on, Dong Guanzheng knew that he was trapped inside this body.

A burly palace maid with triangular eyes walked up to Dong Guanzheng. Dong Guanzheng clenched his fist. As a former high-ranking official, his anger aroused a strong desire to resist, but this desire to resist was contrary to his physical strength.

In his anger, Dong Guanzheng's physical strength rapidly declined, and the more he tried to resist, the less able he became to resist.

"Ah……"

The palace maid opposite raised her foot, and a chubby foot landed, stepping on Dong Guanzheng's ankle without reservation. Dong Guanzheng's face quickly turned red.

The fat palace maid opposite her sneered.

"Work hard today, or you won't get to eat."

The plump palace maid turned and left with her sisters.

With one eye closed in pain, Dongguan gritted her teeth as she watched the women leave. Her foot was fractured, and even without taking off her shoes, he could see from her bulging socks that it was swollen like a pig's trotter.

Today, the Minister of Winter Affairs is cleaning two palaces, going back and forth countless times.

If it can't be completed...

It's not just about not having enough to eat.

Dong Guan was gritting his teeth as he got up. He didn't know how to get out of this predicament, but he knew he couldn't let the mastermind behind the scenes have his way.

Isn't the mastermind behind this wanting to see themselves suffer?

Don't you want to see yourself suffer more?

I'll work hard and rise from a lowly palace maid whom everyone can bully to a high-ranking head maid of the third rank. Then the Minister of Winter Affairs will really want to see who's behind this...

Can't we still find amusement in ourselves?!

"Um……"

As soon as Dong Guan got up, his foot hit the ground with a sharp pain, and he fell back to the ground.

Human beings have their limits. After a fracture, you cannot rely on willpower to make the bone heal. After a hole is cut in your body, you cannot rely on willpower to replace the function of internal organs.

Dong Guanzheng is far superior to normal people in both mind and spirit, but when faced with physiological problems, he still cannot ignore them by willpower alone.

Dong Guan gasped in pain, hot tears streaming down his face. It was from the pain.

A hand suddenly reached out from the edge of Dong Guanzheng's field of vision and stood in front of him. Dong Guanzheng looked up in confusion.

She had few friends in Yanfu Palace, and no one ever cared when she was bullied. Now, this...

That child!

Dong Guanzheng's eyes were wide open.

He saw the culprit he would never forget in his life, the one who had made him who he was today.

That unknown young man who killed Qingxu, a disciple of the Imperial Observatory!

Zhou Yan, looking down at him, gave a mocking laugh.

"Mr. Dongguanzheng, you've become so adorable after three months apart."

Dong Guan isn't exactly outstanding in appearance right now, but she has a cute, chubby face, and her delicate features, combined with her weak constitution, make her more and more charming the more you look at her.

Dong Guanzheng wasn't angry; he just gave a nonchalant snort, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

In the current situation, Zhou Yan is the butcher and he is the fish on the chopping block; any anger or rebuke he utters is merely a source of joy for Zhou Yan.

So, without uttering a single word or a harsh threat, Dong Guanzheng will suffocate you, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Dong Guanzheng has lived for over a hundred years and knows very well how to make the enemy unhappy.

"Hehe, you have quite the temper."

Zhou Yan bent down, slipped one hand under Dong Guanzheng's knees, and wrapped the other arm around Dong Guanzheng's back, lifting the "girl" up in a princess carry.

Dong Guan's eyes widened, revealing a slight look of disbelief.

Zhou Yan turned his head slightly and looked directly at Dong Guan.

"I just don't know if you'll still be able to maintain this temper when I abuse you later."

Dong Guanzheng was immediately overwhelmed with shock. Having lived for over a hundred years, Dong Guanzheng had never imagined that one day he would become a woman and be violated by another man.

But being a seasoned and shrewd person, he remained completely unmoved on the surface.

I absolutely cannot let this beast in front of me see me in such a shameful state.

Even if he was humiliated, Dong Guanzheng would not let himself show any humiliation or anger; this was the only form of resistance he could offer.

Princess Zhou Yan carried Dong Guan Zheng out of Yanfu Palace, past Changning Palace, and arrived at a detached courtyard. They entered the courtyard and then went into the bedroom.

The winter official was looking at the courtyard with surprise. If he remembered correctly, this courtyard seemed to be the residence of a concubine of the current dynasty...

Could this unknown fellow have gotten involved with the imperial concubine?

In an instant, Dong Guanzheng imagined a whole scenario: Zhou Yanyin causing chaos in the palace, getting the imperial concubine pregnant, then killing the emperor and making his own child the emperor.

However, the story was only an outline, and while the details were being expanded, Dongguan's back came into contact with something soft.

Zhou Yan placed Dong Guan on the bed.

The old man's body stiffened.

But something even more subtle happened. After Zhou Lingyan pulled his hand out from behind Dong Guanzheng's legs, he grabbed one of Dong Guanzheng's feet and took off his shoes and socks.

Dong Guan immediately broke out in goosebumps.

He knew that many nobles and high-ranking officials preferred cute boys to cute girls, and some royals even kept a group of children called pageboys, who were actually male prostitutes.

But Dong Guan was practicing the orthodox methods of the Xuanmen sect and never participated in such immoral matters. He never expected that he would actually...

Zhou Yan grasped Dong Guan's ankle, which was swollen due to a fracture. Even though Dong Guan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm" when stimulated.

It hurts.

However, the next second after the pain, Dong Guanzheng felt a cool, icy sensation flow into his ankle, and he looked up.

He saw Zhou Yan holding her foot, his gentle magic flowing into her injured ankle.

The swelling and redness of the ankle due to the fracture quickly subsided, and the fracture healed.

Zhou Yan only let go of Dong Guanzheng's foot after it returned to normal.

Zhou Yan looked at Dong Guanzheng, whose expression remained unchanged, with a smile.

"You're so stubborn, but your body is quite obedient. When I grabbed you just now, your muscles were very tense."

Dong Guanzheng couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say something in rebuttal, but in the end he gave up.

The calmer and more patient he is, the more anxious the other person should be, not himself.

Zhou Yan left the bedside where Dong i Guan was lying, found a chair and sat down before continuing. ☆￥7〃＞′≠0＿∫

How have you been feeling these past three months?

Dong Guan said, pretending to be nonchalant.

So-so.

Zhou Yan asked again.

"Have you been angry about your situation lately, or felt disgusted by the actions of your Imperial Observatory?"

The winter official looked at Zhou Yan as if he were a fool.

Zhou Yan rubbed his forehead.

Zhou Yan had watched a documentary in the past.

The documentary features an elderly professor speaking to the camera.

“I once taught a student who was very talented. He did a great job on all the topics I assigned him. Once, our university was going to do a research project, and this student made a proposal. I read it and the proposal was excellent. But another professor in the university also took a fancy to the project and forcibly took it away. He even started to suppress my student.”

The old professor then began to shake his head.

“There are people all over the world who use their seniority to snatch research projects. Some even steal students’ research results. What’s even more frightening is that some people steal students’ results and then blacklist the students to prevent leaks.”

"After being suppressed, this student almost couldn't stay at the school. He ran to my room, knelt down, and cried, saying that he just wanted to do good research and become a qualified scientist. Why did he have to encounter such a thing?"

"He was confused and desperate. He asked me if research and learning should be fair and just, and that the capable should be in charge? Why do industry veterans suppress newcomers? Why do incompetent people occupy high positions and not allow newcomers to take their place?"

"I was moved by his sincerity and helped this student win back the research project. Thanks to his project, the student quickly became a rising star at our school, gaining both fame and fortune." - Qi

"A few years later, when I inquired about this student again, someone told me that after he became a famous professor thanks to my help in overcoming seniority barriers, he also began to suppress newcomers, using even harsher methods than the professors who had suppressed him before."

The professor finally shrugged. The next day...
