1 I've Loved!

Spirit Pearl Mountain—surrounded by celestial energy, cranes flying and birds singing, fresh air, abundant spirit energy, low in carbon dioxide content, abundant in oxygen, and its mountain trails fragrant with flowers and birdsong; a walk here after a meal could prolong one's life.

But…

Bang!

A loud noise startled the birds in the forest, and a huge water dragon rushed towards a small black spot in the sky.

Dong…

The tiny black dot in the sky fell straight to the ground.

Covering his heart, he struggled to his feet. Dripping wet, he licked the sliver of blood from the corner of his mouth, and drank it mixed with the water droplets on his face, which was surprisingly a little sweet.

A girl in a light gown and wet hair floated to the ground with her bare feet, and her bright eyes were filled with hate, shame, annoyance, and anger.

The girl looked pure and beautiful, her facial features exquisite, just like prized art. A white silk ribbon was tied around her waist, adding a touch of daintiness and delicateness. Her black cicada-wing-like gauze was quite charming, but it inadvertently made her seem more delicate, and her soft, smooth, and lush hair poured down like a waterfall, making her appear fresh and elegant.

"Jiang Lin, I ask you!"

"I've loved!"

"Ah…"

The girl waved her light sleeve, and a strong wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the smell of bathing spring water collided with Jiang Lin, and sent him flying far and wide.

Standing up again with difficulty, Jiang Lin didn't have the slightest hint of hatred in his eyes; there was only the helplessness of the world~

"Why, Jiang Lin! Dragon Gate Sect has treated you well; why did you steal the Dragon Vein!"

On the cobblestone road, the woman stepped forward on her bare white feet, raising the long sword in her hand as her soul questioned the man before her.

"Eh? Isn't Senior Sister going to chastise me for peeking into your bath?"

The girl's dainty face instantly turned red to her ears. "Don't you dare stray away from the topic, Jiang Lin! Why did you betray my sect!"

"Why did you betray…"

Straightening up, the man named Jiang Lin looked up to the sky.

'Yeah, why did I betray?'

As Jiang Lin thought about this, two streaks of tears silently flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He remembered when he had just finished his high school exams, and was sitting in front of his computer with the air conditioning, drinking soda, and playing DFO, and spending all the money he had managed to save on opening booster chests.

In the end, he opened up almost 2,000 yuan worth of chests, and all of them were Life Tokens?!

Finding a pile of Life Tokens in the last chest, he was pissed off.

As a result, he transmigrated to this inexplicable world of immortal cultivation. But, of course, he wasn't going to cultivate for immortality. There was nothing good in doing so; in the novels he read in his past life, everyone eventually became the stepping stone for the protagonist after fighting to the death for resources every day.

Just when Jiang Lin was planning to live an ordinary life in this world, he was picked up at the age of eight, and inexplicably became a disciple of a demon sect?!

He was thinking of quitting the demon sect, and abandoning the life of an outlaw to live a reclusive life, but it turned out that there was some kind of villainous system that forced him, a three-good youngster, to do the things that people in the demon sect did.

To complete the demon sect's performance review, Jiang Lin came.

Dragon Veins were a specialty of the Dragon Gate Sect, and four veins were produced each year—brewed in tea or chewed raw, they could improve one's cultivation.

Through sect recruitment, or instead, through sect enrollment, Jiang Lin successfully joined, and even became a direct disciple. After concentrating for one year, he could finally come in contact with the Dragon Vein himself, and he could finally steal it to complete his mission today!

But he'd never expected that the route he chose to escape just happened to be the Spirit Spring Pond at the summit of Spirit Pearl Mountain, and at that time, his great senior sister just happened to be bathing.

Jiang Lin didn't want to look at everything. Although he wanted to, he didn't. Then, just when he was about to go far away, that corrupt system suddenly came with a quest to go and peek at his great senior sister bathing.

In the end, he peeked and completed the quest, but he was also exposed.

"Jiang Lin, answer me. If you have something to hide, Senior Sister can help you, and so can the sect."

Lin Qingwan, a direct disciple of the Dragon Gate Sect, lightly bit her pink lips with her pearly white teeth, her charming eyes carrying anxiety and sadness.

Thinking back to the time when he had just entered the Dragon Gate Sect, the introverted look on his face, how he called out "senior sister" repeatedly, how he would take punishment for bringing food to her when she had made a mistake, and how he took care of her overnight when she was injured, Lin Qingwan became teary-eyed.

"Senior Sister… Sorry, different paths don't go together." With a light sigh, Jiang Lin looked at Lin Qingwan with deep affection. "Actually… I am a member of a demon sect…"

"What…"

The spring breeze gently caressed the hem of the girl's gauze skirt. Hearing Jiang Lin's reply, Lin Qingwan's small mouth dropped slightly, an incredulous look that was so cute and alluring.

"Cough… cough! Cough! cough!"

Mulling over his emotions, Jiang Lin coughed violently, and suddenly, before Lin Qingwan could react, Jiang Lin lunged at Lin Qingwan, who was holding up her sword and pointing at him.

Pu…

The long sword pierced through Jiang Lin's heart, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood as he fell forward.

"Junior Brother…"

Lin Qingwan stretched out her thin arms to pick up Jiang Lin, hugging him and even spinning him around in the air. Lin Qingwan gracefully hugged Jiang Lin and sat on the ground. Jiang Lin leaned in Lin Qingwan's arms and smelled her hair.

"Senior Sister, I'm sorry. I… I know I've done terrible things."

In Lin Qingwan's arms, Jiang Lin touched Lin Qingwan's delicate white cheeks, and by now, the girl was already crying like torrential rain.

"Actually, I didn't want to… become a member of a demon… sect… I… uh…"

"Jiang Lin, stop talking, just stop talking. I'll treat you now."

"No! Senior Sister… It's too late."

Jiang Lin took Lin Qingwan's soft, delicate little hand and placed it on his chest.

"Senior Sister, I betrayed the sect; I deserve to die, and to die in Senior Sister's hands is the greatest happiness in my life."

"Stop talking, stop talking…"

Lin Qingwan hugged Jiang Lin tightly as her tears fell in drops.

Jiang Lin also shamelessly nudged his head into Lin Qingwan's embrace.

"Senior Sister, sorry, the dragon vein has been refined by me. When I die, the dragon vein will also disappear. I cannot repay it. If there is an afterlife, I will repay Senior Sister…

"Senior Sister… and… there is one thing I must say…

"Senior Sister.. I… uh…"

Before Jiang Lin finished speaking, his evil clutches on the girl dropped to the ground. He turned into 1,000 specs of light, and disappeared into the girl's embrace. Not even his clothes were left.

"No!"

On Spirit Pearl Mountain, the girl's delicate and grief-stricken cries spread throughout the mountains.

Ding…

The sound of a silver coin falling to the ground quietly rang out in the sky as a bright light descended, and Jiang Lin appeared unharmed in the distance.

The 99,999 Life Tokens that came with Jiang Lin to this world of cultivation decreased by one.

"So close, so close, my acting skills should be okay, right? Better run away, or it'll be over if I'm found out."

Jiang Lin sighed in relief after being resurrected. He conjured a spirit horse, and ran off with four Dragon Veins.

At the same time, the system's voice rang out again in Jiang Lin's mind.
