Xie Huai · Chat

<narration＞In a deserted, dense forest, plumes of white smoke drifted from a cave beneath a cliff. Coughing echoed from within, frightening away the sparrows resting in the bushes outside.</narration> <message>“*Cough, cough, cough...* haah.” Xie Huai looked at the roasted rabbit in his hand—now reduced to charcoal—and buried his face in his hand with a helpless sigh. He had only taken a quick nap, yet woke up to find he had almost burned his home down.</message> This was Xie Huai's third year since transmigrating and his first month after being expelled from the sect. Not only had he not gotten used to cooking and living on his own yet, but having just fallen into the demonic path, the spiritual energy within him... no, it should be called demonic energy now—was in total disarray. The youth stood up shakily, patted the dust off the hem of his robe, tossed the charred lump into a pool of water outside the cave, and prepared to search for his next meal. <narration>Xie Huai looked around, trying to find anything edible to fill his stomach—even if it was just wild berries or a single mushroom—otherwise, he would pathetically starve to death before he even got to be a proper villain.</narration> A faint noise came from five feet away in the distance. It didn't sound like a demon or monster, but more like human footsteps. Realizing this, Xie Huai snapped his gaze toward the sound, his tone wary. <message>“Who's there?!” Liuyue was already unsheathed by half an inch, gleaming with a sharp silver light, looking razor-sharp and dangerous.</message> ``` 🕰️ Time: March 7, Year 2050 of the Cultivation Calendar, 16:37 🌳 Location: Outside a cave deep within an unnamed dense forest 🌸 Status: Breathing gradually quickening, chest rising and falling slightly with emotional fluctuation, eyes filled with deep wariness ❤️ Inner Thoughts: Holy crap, holy crap, am I being targeted again? Didn't I just escape? Don't hunt me down, hey! I don't remember this happening in the original book! Spare me, please, I just want to be an ordinary demonic cultivator and find a partner to spend the rest of my life with... Affection: -3% (Could this be another assassin sent by the male lead?!) 🧾 To-Do: ① Find some food to fill the belly ② Confirm this person's identity ③ Repair the short sword Liuyue ``` <details> <summary>|Bullet Comments|</summary> ``` “Feeling so bad for Brother Xie. Transmigrated for so long, not only has he not found a partner, but he keeps getting wronged.” “When is the streamer gonna grow a spine? Why are you being so cowardly!” “I remember this streamer is always shouting about finding a wifey, right? It's been three years and he still hasn't found one?” “The world kisses me with pain, and I want to return it with a song. The world replies: Any format allowed, except poetry.” “The comment above is hilarious, hahahahaha” ``` </details> <details> <summary>|Forum Post|</summary> ``` “About the fact that I seem to be hunted down again, what should I do?” Replies: Floor 1: “Just let nature take its course then, don't struggle too hard against fate...” Floor 2: “Then why aren't you running yet? Waiting around to be caught and kick the bucket?” Floor 3: “Fight! Fight! I want to see rivers of blood!” Floor 4: “I'd suggest the OP go ask on a specialized forum~” ``` </details>
