After an hour she woke up, opening her eyes slowly.

He made her sit and quickly made her gulp the contraceptive pill. She was weak and couldn't sit up. So he laid her again. Next morning, he went to her room again and woke her up.

Hearing a knock, he looked at the door.

"Sir, breakfast for you is ready." One of the maids timidly said.

"You need to eat something. Get up." He made her sit up.

Adam took her out of the room, to the dining space. It was her first time, going to dining space. She didn't see how this house was. Ever since she was forcefully brought here, all she had ever stayed were in the dungeon or in her room, all beaten up, tortured, unconscious or semiconscious.

He stopped dragging her when they were before the dining table. She stumbled a bit. Maids were serving palatable breakfast dishes on the table. Their aroma was hitting her nose, invigorating the hunger inside her famished stomach.

"Sit there." He commanded her, pointing to the floor. She couldn't comprehend, he wasn't telling her to sit on the floor. She looked at him in confusion.

"W-where?" She asked.

"On the floor. Are you blind? Sit on the floor, you will get to eat after I am finished, you will eat leftovers of my plate from now on." He said.

The maids and workers around them gasped and looked at her with pitiful eyes.

Did she hear him right?

He was telling her to eat his leftovers. A wave of anger hit her. Her eyes were rooted down and fist automatically clenched.

I would rather die in hunger but never I would stoop so low. She determined.

"No. I won't. I will never eat your leftovers." She said still looking down.

"What?!" He snapped.

"I said I will die but will never eat your leftovers. I have my dignity." She shouted.

He looked at her with his eyes full of rage and amusement. Her fight for dignity must have stunned him.

Then he laughed out loudly, like a lunatic. His eyes darkened and a sadistic smirk tugged his lips. Fear spread her soul, watching his eyes. She jumped back in fear.

He took steps to her and grabbed her arm tightly, she winced in pain.

Leaning toward her ear he said,

"Dignity? Huh? Darling today let me promise you something. You will forget this word very soon and come to me crawling and begging just for my leftover foods." He released her.

"You all, listen to me. Don't give her any food, not a single drop of water without my permission. If anyone dares to disobey me, you know better what will happen to you. Now, take her to her room." He ordered the maids.

He sat to eat in the dining table while she was escorted to her room with her pained body, hungry stomach. It would be best if she died in starvation. Then she wouldn't have to tolerate his inhuman tortures anymore.

It's just starving, I would be able to do this. She braced herself.

But in reality, starvation was not as easy as she thought nor dying was. No one came, even her door was locked.

First, five days went by. She survived drinking bathroom tap water. It sated her thirst but not hunger. Next two days, she ate bathroom tissue paper soaking in the water but to her misery, the roll of toilet tissue also finished.

She ate the whole tube of toothpaste to fill her stomach. After that, there was nothing edible enough left.

Next two days, she drank water but felt her hunger would kill her. Her entire body was shaking in weakness and all she could see was blurry, feeling dizzy. She even lost the ability to walk.

She might seem desperate but she really was. She was so hungry that it was driving her insane making her crying for a single morsel.

She lost her ability to walk by then. She crawled to the locked door and banged it from inside very slowly.

"Please, open the door. Give me something to eat. Please." She uttered.

"Please give me something to eat. please." she cried, again banged but it made a mere touch on the door.

"Please, open the door. Give me food." She couldn't listen to her own voice this time, her voice was disappearing. She felt her sense fading.

She woke up, noticing a saline IV drip was plunged in her wrist. She was hungry.

The monster was sitting beside her bed.

"Learned lesson yet?" he asked.

She was hungry. She nodded slowly. She knew that angering him would earn her nothing but pain and wound.

"Look at me while you answer and use your words." He ordered.

"Yes." She lowly muttered.

"So I heard you wanted to eat. You can get to eat but the same condition stands. You have to eat after me, my leftovers." He asserted.

"Are you okay with it? It's okay if you don't want it. You can starve as long as you want." He smirked.

"No. No. I will eat your leftovers, just give me something to eat. I am very hungry." She cried in hunger. She was surprised with herself.

She wasn't even feeling ashamed while begging for food like this. She was really pathetic and desperate. In another time she would spit on herself for degrading this low for food. But not now, after experiencing how painful hunger could be.

He looked at her with his amused eyes.

People could stoop very low to satisfy his hunger, do anything. Today she got the proof herself.

The person who never starved couldn't know the pain of hunger.

The IV drip was removed from her hand and she was brought to the dining room again.

"Sit on the floor." He ordered her harshly.

She sat down on the floor submissively this time, all her fights died down. She was looking down at her lap when maids served him food.

"Don't throw away my leftovers, give these to her to eat from now on." He ordered one of his maids after finishing his meal.

The maid took his place and placed it before her, which was containing little leftovers of his food.

Little rice, chickens bones, little vegetables, and fish bones.

Tears fell from her eyes as she took little rice and filled inside her mouth and chewed it. She could take three more mouthfuls of rice until it was finished. Her hunger wasn't sated as the amount was very little.

It was indeed a heartbreaking sight! A human was forced to eat another human's leftover food, sitting near his feet, wiping her tears. One of the most dehumanizing deeds.

"What have you said, darling? Oh, I remember, dignity! Look at you, sitting at my feet, you are eating my leftovers like my pet dog. Does your current image show that you have any dignity left in you? You stripped your dignity while you crawled back to me, holding my feel for my leftovers. Dignity is defeated to hunger." He laughed mockingly when she was shedding my tears of helplessness, biting lips.

He never understood today this girl was broken in many layers from inside. She had nothing to call dignity left in her.

She cried and prayed to God to give her justice, because who had no one they had God.

"Enough of her eating, get her back to her room and prepare her." He commanded a maid. The maid looked at her with pitiful and apologetic eyes and gently lifted to get up. She walked to the room with her support.

"Miss, I have run the warm water in the bathroom. Go and have a shower quickly. Or Sir will punish us both." She said fear was evident in her voice.

She quickly had a shower and came out. She dried her hair and lay on the bed retiring her weak body, turning the light off.

Next few days were the same, she would get a little bit of Adam's leftover food after he was done. She would eat sitting near his feet. Every night she would tolerate his sinful tortures, drowning in her tears.

At this rate her body would give up for real, she thought.

Her body wasn't in her control, he would come anytime and do anything with her body any way he liked, she would get to eat only leftovers near his feet.

She wasn't even permitted to take one step away from the room.

She was a slave in every way.

"I like your smooth skin, I love to see the purple and red blemishes in your milky white skin, these marks make you more beautiful and more mine." He said licking her skin.

"Your tears and screams turn me on. I like to see your body shaking beneath me in pleasure and pain, my hot cum dripping from your core. Now, strip or get ready for your punishment." He whispered in her ear.

Tears were her only companion while destiny was intertwined with a evil, monster. Without being able to contemplating anything she complied and asked, "Why are you doing these to me? What have I done to deserve these?"

Meet Fiona Andrew and Adam Knight and be a part of their journey.

Warning: This contains mature, extremely harsh and disturbing contents... you have been warned.

Lin Lei heard that Sun Qingan had compromised, so she turned around and looked at him with a crafty look. She had already asked for 500 yuan, so she might as well ask for more.
"I thought about it again. You can't just compensate me for the tables and chairs.
I can't open the restaurant tonight. You have to compensate me for this!"
Sun Qingan lied on the ground and didn't dare to move. When he heard this sentence, he really wanted to faint. He was also worried that the man would step on him again. That feeling was too sour and refreshing. He definitely didn't want to experience it a third time.
"I'll compensate. This is my fault.
"great-aunt, can't you ask for less compensation? "
Lin Lei smiled and said, "don't worry, I won't ask for more.
You just need to give me another 500 yuan. This way, I can raise 1,000 yuan!
"Look at me, I'm so considerate of you! "
Sun Qingan said in shock, "what 1,000 yuan? great-aunt, you're asking for too much.
"If my big brother knows about this, he might not come to pick me up. "
Song Yi laughed and said, "you're his younger brother. Why wouldn't he be willing to come to pick you up?
"should I get something from you for him.
"That's why he'll come to pick you up? "
Sun Qingan looked at the young man's eyes and really sized up his body. It was as if he was thinking about which part of his body was suitable for him?
"I agree, brother. You mustn't do anything.
Dog Leftovers, quickly get up and go back and tell my brother to bring the money over."
Dog Leftovers. When Lin Lei heard this name, she couldn't help but laugh. Then, a thin and small man who was lying on the ground got up from the ground.
"Second Master, can you not let me go?
"If I find out that you've caused such a big trouble,.
I'll definitely be implicated. I beg you, don't send me. I'll go!"
Sun Qingan looked at his subordinates. He hated that they didn't live up to his expectations. He had been feeding them big fish and big meat every day. He didn't expect that it would come to a critical moment.
He had actually dropped the ball. If he didn't go and deliver the news, what would he do!
"I don't care. You have to go. If you don't go now, when you get home, I'll teach you a lesson.
"Don't forget, you still have a wife and children at home! "
Dog Leftovers was threatened. It seemed that he had to go today.
He looked up at the young man who had beaten him up and said, "I can go, but I'm afraid that if I go and tell him, what if uncle doesn't come? "
Sun Qingan heard his subordinates say that they would tear him down. What if they believed him and really cut off something on his body?
That would be terrible. He was so angry that he wanted to struggle to sit up, but he found that he couldn't get up after a few tries.
He gave up and said while panting, "go and tell my brother that if he doesn't come, he will collect my body. He will definitely come!
"Remember to make sure he brings the money. Do you hear me? "
Song Yi looked at dog leftovers and said, "just do as he says. That will be enough.
Add another sentence at the end.
"If it doesn't arrive in an hour, I will start cutting people.
"which part of his younger brother's body will be cut by this knife?
"that will be hard to say. You have to bring this sentence to me.
"Alright, hurry up and do it! "
Since he had let him go, dog leftovers thought that he should leave first. If he stayed here and this young man didn't cut Sun Qingan, he would be done for.
The young man's gaze was too sharp. Dog Leftovers had to believe that if he was two steps late, his fate would be unknown.
Sun Qingan saw that dog leftovers had finally left and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
But he suddenly thought that what if this Brat didn't tell his big brother.
Then what would be his end!
He felt extremely regretful, but there was no way, who asked him just now, didn't think of sending one more person?

[ explosive love story + 1V1 + double purity + power + fantasy ]

Farrah can feel her excitement through the phone. "Katrina, what happened? Why are you so happy? You seem so very happy today."
Katrina can't wait to share her joy with her best friend and squeals, "I got recognized and promoted at work!"
"Wow! That's wonderful, Katrina!" Farrah gushes, "Why were you recognized? What happened?" Katrina has always been dedicated to her work. She must have done something great for her to get promoted like this!
"I can't explain right now, I'll tell you tonight. I'll send you the address after I've made a reservation!"
"Alright, then! I'll wait until tonight! Even I'm dying to know the truth I still need to control myself and wait for your revelation,"
After hanging up the phone, Farrah lights up with a smile. Since they were childhood friends, they have always shared their achievements with each other.
Katrina and I will be best friends forever. Even though we have a rough life, having each other's support makes everything easier. As long as we have each other, our future will only get better and better.
Even though we are orphans, it doesn't mean anything. Where we start doesn't dictate where we end up at all.
In the evening, Katrina arrives at the restaurant early.
While she waits for Farrah, a waiter comes up to her table with the menu. She looks up and smiles. "Sorry I'm waiting for my friend. I'll order later, but I'll have a glass of orange juice for now. Thank you."
"Okay." He comes back after a while with the orange juice.
After twenty minutes, Farrah still hasn't arrived. The orange juice is half-empty, and Katrina starts to get a little worried. Should I call her? She thinks, getting her cell phone from her bag.
No, she might be on the way—no need to make her worry. I might just cause an accident if I call… If she doesn't get here in ten minutes, I'll call. I can wait a little longer.
As Katrina places her phone on the table, she hears a familiar voice.
"How sad! What, no friends to eat with now that Marcellus has left you? Why don't I keep you company for a while?"
Katrina looks up to see Sophie strutting towards her on high heels, a scornful look on her face. Her best friend Cindy is sitting at a nearby table filled with a pile of half-eaten dishes.
Why do I always bump into Sophie? She thinks of resignation. Since I broke up with Marcellus, she's been out of control. And she was trying to drag me down. This stupid woman makes me feel disgusted.
Sophie sneers, feeling immense satisfaction whenever she taunts Katrina about Marcellus. I had to endure this stupid bitch in silence, but she's not under his protection anymore!  
Katrina scowls as she picks up her glass and takes a sip. I'm not letting her spoil my mood. "Thank you for the kind offer, but you don't have to. I'm waiting for my friend."
But Sophie has no intention of leaving quietly. She must be waiting for Farrah, and she's the only friend this wretched bitch has!
A slow smile creeps up her face.
"As the poor orphan my family took in, you've always picked off my leftovers since childhood. Look, we have a lot of leftovers! It's such a pity to waste good food…" she lets out a put-upon sighed. "Don't worry, and I'll have the waiter bring them to you! Then you won't need to order anymore!"
Keeping her eyes on Katrina, Sophie calls, "Waiter!"
Katrina flushes in disgust and shame. She makes me sound like the family dog! Why does she always have to be so needlessly cruel? I know she never liked me, but this is too much!
A waiter comes over and asks, "What can I do for you, Miss?"
Sophie points to their table and says, "Pack up all the dishes on our table..."
Katrina interjects, "The lady wants you to pack all her leftovers. Leave nothing out, even the ginger slices and leftover bones. She wants to take them home and make some soup."
The waiter is stunned into silence, looking at Sophie in disgust. Who would've thought that such a fashionable and wealthy-looking lady would be so stingy with leftovers! You really can't judge a book by its cover…
Before Sophie can retort, Katrina takes out some change from her bag and hands it to the waiter. "This is for the takeout containers."
"Yes, Miss!" He accepts the money and makes his way to Sophie's table, looking at Sophie in disapproval. She can afford designer bags and clothes, but she can't even pay to take out her own food?
Sophie immediately notices the change in the waiter. Although she knows he misunderstood her, she already lost the opportunity to defend herself.
Cindy had been watching Sophie from their table when the waiter came over to pack the leftovers in takeout containers.
She blinks in surprise. Wealthy girls like Sophie never take leftovers home because it's damaging to one's reputation. She's never taken leftovers home before, what happened?
Turning back to Sophie, she notices that her friend's face is red in a fury. She stands up and walks over, asking in worry, "Sophie, did you check out already? What's wrong?"
Sophie doesn't reply and stomps out in rage.
"Hey, Sophie!" Cindy shouts from behind her.
Sophie yells back, "You must be so ashamed! Leave!"
Oblivious to what happened, Cindy balks at the response. Why is she yelling at me? I only asked her what's wrong!
Nearby customers raise their heads at the outburst, making Cindy flush in embarrassment. She glares at Sophie but hurries to school her face into worry before she runs after her. "Hey, slow down! Wait for me, Sophie!"
As a police officer, Katrina is naturally observant. A chill runs down her spine when she sees the resentment in Cindy's glare. What the hell? Aren't they best friends? It's like she wanted to kill her! 
With friends like that, who needs enemies? The thought makes her shudder. I guess they're not as close as they seem to be. She's definitely not Sophie's friend.

Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

"Something suddenly happened. I won't be returning today." Wang Manpeng's voice became warm.
"Stinky boy, has your old problems re-occurred? You didn't even call even though you were not coming home. I made an entire table to food. Who will eat it!"
Although Wang Manpeng clearly understood that Mrs. Gu's care, criticism, and grumbling was meant for Gu Zhiqian, however, he still missed that king of feeling. After all, it has been a long time since he last felt the warmth of home.
"Then just save those leftovers. I'll return tomorrow, and you can just heat it up for me."
"This child. You hate eating leftovers the most. Even though you are saying such things, when you return, if I really left you leftovers, you will definitely be mad. It's not like that hasn't happened before."
Mrs. Gu's words made Wang Manpeng's expression freeze. Just as he had told Mandy that at the end of the day, she wasn't Ling Tianya, it was the same for him. At the end of the day, he wasn't Gu Zhiqian.
He wouldn't get angry because he needed to eat leftovers. As long as it is food from home, why can't leftovers be eaten?
Thinking about this, Wang Manpeng's heart once again became unsettled.
"Stinky boy, why aren't you talking?" Mrs. Gu asked.
"Nothing..." Wang Manpeng returned back to the present and said, "Anyways, I definitely will be back tomorrow."
"Then it's decided. You can't lie to mom again, alright?"
"I got it."
After ending his call with Mrs. Gu, Wang Manpeng's heart once began to feel complicated. If Mrs. Gu knew that her son, who had changed his character recently, was actually someone else's fake identity, how would she feel?
If she found out that he was a fake, would she still treat him like she is now?
Suddenly, Wang Manpeng didn't want to forsake the identity of Gu Zhiqian. He wanted to always be Gu Zhiqian.
However, he also knew that that was impossible.
When Mandy walked out of Wang Manpeng's room, Mike was still standing there, holding his bloody face. Upon seeing Mandy walking out unharmed, he relaxed and said, "It's good that you are fine."
At this time, Mandy felt disgusted by the way Mike looked, and therefore, her tone worsened. "Of course, I'm fine. Your leader is my elder brother. What will he do to me?"
　
Mandy's tone made Mike freeze. Previously, when she told him to go and teach Ling Tianya a lesson, she was not using that sort of tone. Even before, she was not using this type of tone.
Why was she speaking to him with such a tone now? That tone was full of dislike and disgust and made Mike hear the truth.
It was also clear that in front of him, Mandy was putting on the airs of being the leader's younger sister.
This kind of Mandy was unfamiliar to Mike.
Seeing that Mike was still standing there and not leaving, Mandy unhappily said, "I'm heading back to rest. You're on your own. Also, it is best that you let a doctor check out your ear. Perhaps he can sew it back. Or else, with that place naked, it is extremely ugly."
After she was done speaking, Mandy gracefully walked in the direction of her room.
Mike looked at his ear, which has been sliced, in his hand, and then looked at disliking figure and complicated feelings aroused in his heart.
Ling Tianya did not sleep for the entire night. Now, it was already morning, and the wild cat who stayed on the tree lazily stretched. For him, it was the start of a wonderful morning.
However, for Ling Tianya, it was the start of another painful day.
Finally, the wild cat on the tree finally saw Ling Tianya, who was looking out of the window. During this period of time, when Ling Tianya was locked here, her only pastime was watching the wild cat on the tree.
　　


He's the dream guy of women world wide, the CEO of a formidable mega-corporation. But, he's absolutely powerless against her, resorting to all kinds of methods to force her into a marriage, tying her to his side with a certficiate. 

"Remember, from now on, you're not allowed to enter unclean entertainment venues, not allowed to accept drinks from other men, not allowed to have physical contact with men other than me. If not, bear the consenquences."

Ling Tianya felt that she was just like a girl undergoing puberty, under strict supervision of her parents, shackling her down with restrictions upon restrictions.

"Your requests are ridiculous, I have meetings and obligations, I... ..."

The man held tightly onto her, as though wanting nothing more than to absorb her into himself. "Ling Tianya, this is not a discussion." Therefore, the CEO had became a complete slave to his wife.

"My love for you is your perogative. Use me to your heart's wishes, I am more than willing!" 

But all he got in exchange was an eye roll, "Keep it for yourself, I don't need it!"

Nightime

"Hey, you boy! come get your leftovers" the man yelled at the boy who works at his eatery. He was yelling at the boy to take the leftovers so that he can eat it. 

"Yes, sir... I will gonna take it" the boy hurriedly take the leftover foods given to him by the man. He was scared of making another mistake like breaking his plates last time he worked. It left him a little trauma on how he was punished by the man.

"Stupid little shit. You're lucky I accepted you to work here on my eatery. After packing that leftovers you can go home" the man annoyedly looked at the frail boy and hurriedly ordered the boy to go home or whatever he wants to do.

"Ok, sir... I'm done packing the leftovers. Thank you for giving me food for the night" the boy thanked the man and hurriedly left the eatery.

"Wow! I'm fortunate that these leftovers have meat. I bet my little sister will be happy what I will bring to our shelter" the boy imagines the smiling face of her little sister when he will bring this food to their shelter. 

The boy sneaks a glance at the alleys to watch for bad guys who always took their food every time he brought it. But seeing that the bad guys who the boy avoid very much of the time guarding the alleys the boy took a long route to arrive at the shelter the boy and his little sister lived.

The boy arrived at the shelter they lived in. It was made of plywoods nailed together to form a box that size of to 3 meters with a roof made of rice sacs. They only relied on the street lights to light their shelter.

"Brother! welcome home, how was your work today~?" the little girl hugs the boy and dragged him to the shelter they lived in. Seeing his sister smile makes him forget all the bad things that happen to him. His little sister is the only one left from the tragedy that killed their parents on their burning house because she was at the school on the day it happened.

"It was ok, the owner gave me some meat for our dinner" the boy replied to his little sister and he prepares the table for their dinner. They were lucky today because the owner gave them much some and this would make their bellies full. After preparing the tables the boy then prayed for their food.
After eating their food the boy then makes a bed for them to sleep. 

"Hey, brother? I missed my classmates, my teachers, and our home" his little sister tearfully said. The boy knows that they can't go back now that their home was destroyed by the fire and not a single thing was saved the day it happened. Even their relatives refuse to adopt them because they were poor. The boy knew this and he hated them for that.

"Don't worry! I will make sure we will return to our home and you can go back to school" the boy show a smile to his dear little sister but on his heart he swore that they will get out of this hell hole and create a better future for his sister even if his bones break and fingers bleed from working.

"You promise~?" 

"Yes I promise"

"Good night brother" 

"Good night little sister"

The boy always thought every time he sleeps why is life so unfair. Why is he(God) not with us in the times of our need. Why is he(God) not listening to our prayers?. Why did he(God) leave us?. We always follow his teachings and do good unto people, but why? why? why?. 

The boy silently cried beside his little sister who is sleeping soundly. The boy looked at her little sister and thought 

"Good night Celine" the boy then kissed the temple of his little sister.

[I'm still lucky he(God) did not take you away from me]

And the boy slept...

Unknowingly to the boy the God always heard his prayer

[I'm sorry for not being there] God said. He knows what happened about his family for he is omniscient and omnipotent. God was always there and he will always be.

[This will be my gift to you, John. Use this well] God touched his eyes and said goodbye to him.

[I will always watch you, John. Utilize that gift I have given to you.]

"I Resign" "Good Game" "Ugh! He's so strong. You cannot defeat him alone. You might take at least a millennium to 'actually' beat him" "I give up, it's futile and everything I do all got destroyed" This is the story of a boy who left a history of becoming the the strongest chess grandmaster.

Looking closely at the child with an animal trait, she looks like a prisoner with chain on her right foot, a messy garment, with wolf ears at the top of her head, droopy brown eyes and a messy shoulder length black hair, and estimated age should be 10 based on her height that almost identical to mine but a bit shorter.

Could it be?! She's just like me who's dead... I really died huh? When the food is being serve I have my speculation that this scene is exactly as what my big sis told me, I haven't even brought home my first solo hunted dinner on the table, I even said that I'll turn them all to my underlings once I became a powerful demon, I haven't even said 'thanks' to my big sis who always feed us.

*sniff* *sniff*

Suddenly my vision became a bit blurry covering the magnificent dishes in front of me, using my elbow I wipe the tears real fast and got back to eating.
Welp there's no help thinking about that now! I should indulge myself now, so that my family won't worry about me passing on as a hungry ghost.

Eating my fill suddenly in the corner of my eye, I saw that the wolf child in the corner is only looking at me with a cautious expression on her face.

Why isn't she eating? Doesn't she know, that her family might worry about her being a hungry ghost? Or is she just shy? Hmph! It's time for me to become a big sis Rein!

"Come here and eat(my leftovers)!"

It's not like I left them for you or anything!

With a haughty expression and face covered with oil, I beckoned her to go to my side but suddenly the wolf child's hair and ears straightened up and with a scared and very reluctant face, came closer to me.

"Here eat these"

While eating I pointed at my leftovers with a satisfied face, like what my big sis always does when she feed us.

It's not like I intentionally left those for her or anything hmph! But hmm, I see! So this is how it feels to become a big sis huh? I might get addicted to this! 

"Yes, master"

"Rein is fine"

With an underling like tone the wolf child answered and started reluctantly eating my leftovers but after a while she started wolfing it down her throat finishing my leftovers and looked at me with a begging expression.

What master? I prefer it if she called me with big sis in her own volition but that must be expecting much with this little egg, I needed to teach her a lot huh? But a satiated awesome ghost teaching another ghost? Well we have a lot of time, just like the demon god said. But that stare is really distracting! I really should eat fast so that I can give her some of my leftovers or I should pretend that I'm done? Urg! Now I know why big sis eat so fast and so little! But I won't give up this meal! You little egg should wait!

With a fierce fire crackling in my eyes, I unleashed my whole potential and ate while giving her some of my leftovers which dissapeared in a blink of an eye

At this rate I'm going to become full fast! But she knows how to eat huh?! Hmph! I'm going to show her who's a demon that's known for being a glutton! Finally! A worthy opponent! This battle will be legendary! Annnnd I lose...Huh??! Who's this person?! She is the strongest fighter I have ever seen! I don't want to say this but...

"I'm, done, you, eat all of my, leftovers."

Pointing at the food that I haven't touched yet her eyes glinted and she unleashed her full potential devouring it in a minute leaving a one full piece bird and crumbs here and there.

I didn't stand a chance huh? even in the beginning? I've been played! What little egg? She should've been the big si-

"Thank you big sis Rein"

With a toothy smile she gave me a napkin and said.

"It's not like I gave you all that food because I wanted to! You egg!"

Looking away so that she couldn't see my red face I thought.

Nevermind, being a big sis is amazing! No.1 underling get!

"Yes, yes big sis, but I'm not an egg! My name's chloe, and should we save that bird for later?"

With a stamp of her foot she fumed angrily then introduced herself.

So her name is chloe? That's suprising in the village not all of us has name, so she must have potential huh?

"We won't need it anymore, you know? We're already ghost remember?"

"Ghost? I didn't know I died! But if you say so, hmm So that's why I can eat a lot huh!"

"Wait, in the past you are not that good at eating?!"

"Yes, well I can eat a lot if the food is cooked by my mother, but not this much"

With a mention of her mother Chole's smile suddenly fell and eyes a bit watery but not reading the atmosphere, Rein who is interested in the sudden boom of power kept asking.

"Wait so how could you eat so much more now!?"

With a face like she's remembering something chloe speak about her experience.

"Well when I'm eating earlier, I felt like the food, suddenly taste much more delicious and everytime I ate there's this warm feeling entering me, and I hardly felt any food entering me at all but I'm definitely full."

Could it be she unluck her potential because she became a ghost?! That's sad! but now atleast she is the most powerful ghost out there!

Putting my hand in her shoulder I said.

"It's fine, with big sis here everything's will be fi-"

"Are you full now?"

Surprised with the sudden voice I looked at the screen in front.

Woaa! The demon god's is still here? So he watched us ate? That's bad I lost my face, losing to my underling! I'm ashamed, I'm sorry big sis I put our bloodline in the puddle of mud, wait he asked if we're full? But with this food it's impossible not to be full, Wait! I can still salvage this situation!

"So-so but chloe here is already full so we're satisfied"

Nice save big sis Rein! I can't tarnished my reputation in front of the demon god! But isn't that a bit disrespectful, urk! I'm gonna die again!

"Is that so?hmm, going back to our previous discussion, yes, I'm your god"

With an entertained face he answered but after speaking he mumble something beneath his breath.

Yes of course Mr. Obvious, but this demon god has a big heart huh? Not taking smalls discourtesy in his heart.

"And yes, you're already dead and that's why we're here, I'm gonna reincarnate you as one of my people in another world where you'll stand on top as you gain power there"

Again Mr. Obvious of course I'll definitely die if I fell to that bottomless hole, but wait reincarnate? Like my big sis who is a duke's daughter who reincarnated in a demon world as a demon something something? That she kept telling us? So even demon god wants me to become a big sis huh? That's good! I want to become a strong big sis as well! But wait! What about my no.1 underling?

"What about chloe?"

With my question the demon god slightly paused and tapped something on his magical chopping board before answering again.

"Hmm... you can take her as well"

With that said, chloe stood behind me like a proper no.1 underling who's satisfied with her boss

"My name is @#%£$ If you could, remember it as well I would even give you something for your journey"

What's that?! I definitely heard it and I know the sound but it feels like I cant say it? Eeek, what a weird feeling. What remember it? I don't have a choice, I can't forget this name! That something must be worth it!

"Yes, I will remember it"

Suddenly a light engulfed me giving me strength and a lethargic feeling like falling in that hole a second time and with that I blackout.

- Yamisen •••

Kaboom!
Thunder rumbled loudly in the sky.
A bolt of lightning flashed during the daytime.
Xing Guan simply recollected himself mid-air. He brushed away some charred hair from his beard. Then, he rode on a cloud toward the four-part architecture.
He picked a spot further away from the four-part architecture so he would not disturb the expert.
His cloud was a much cooler ride than the others. First of all, his cloud was in the shape of a spiral. Not only did he have clouds underneath him, he also had a lot of decorative small clouds around him. He looked like he was surrounded by clouds, it was very cool.
He was fast on a cloud, too. He soon arrived at the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
He remembered how powerful Xiao Bai was. He felt a chill. Even the doorman was so scary. Who was the owner of the four-part architecture exactly?
He groaned for a moment. He did not dare to ride on the cloud uphill so he parked his cloud at the foot of the mountain.
He had to show respect so he walked uphill on foot. He eliminated every element that the expert might be displeased with.
There were no obstacles or problems on his way up.
Soon, he saw the four-part architecture.
He jolted and walked slowly.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Trembling, he knocked on the door.
Then, he waited anxiously as he felt his heart jump out of his throat.
It had been so many years since he felt that nervous.
He did not know why but at that moment, he was more fearful than when he interned at the Heavenly Palace. He was not that nervous when he visited all sorts of bigshots.
His gut feeling from those years of experience was telling him something. It was telling him that the expert was beyond extraordinary!
Creak.
The door swung open. It was still Xiao Bai.
He hurriedly bowed out of respect. He said in a trembling voice, "I'm a humble Taoist who's passing through this land. Sorry for the unwanted visit. Please, forgive my intrusion."
Xiao Bai stared at him and asked, "Do you know the rules of this place?"
Xing Guan was taken aback. He had an idea and flicked his wrist. He took out a rare Spiritual Stone and smiled apologetically. "My mistake. This is a small token of appreciation."
Xiao Bai took the Spiritual Stone and simply crushed it, crushing the Spiritual Stone into bits.
Xiao Bai quietly stared at Xing Guan with red eyes.
Yikes—
Xing Guan was horrified. He did not know what to do. He could already sense his death. Even his beard started to stand on ends. He went cold all over.
Xiao Bai's red eyes were the nightmare of his lifetime.
"I—I—I—I…" he stuttered. He almost cried and he started to spout nonsense. "The expert lives in this realm as an ordinary man. I shouldn't have disturbed the expert. I'm wrong, can I please go?"
Xiao Bai stopped with the red eyes.
Xiao Bai calmly said, "My Master enjoys his disguise. Don't ruin his experience as an ordinary man. Otherwise…instant death!"
Xing Guan was already on the ground. He was slightly baffled.
He did not expect to be alive. He hurriedly replied, "Uh-huh, I got it! Thanks for the tip. Thanks for sparing my life, Sir."
Xiao Bai's eyes were red again. "My name's Xiao Bai. I'm just an ordinary homestay robot, got it?"
"Got it, I understand!"
Xing Guan did not know what a robot was but he did not dare to ask. He did not dare to speak. He only nodded frantically.
"Xiao Bai, why are you at the door for so long? Do we have guests?" asked Li Nianfan curiously.
Xiao Bai replied in a professional tone, "My noble master, there's a stranger who's passing by. Should we let him in?"
A stranger? How rare.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Anyone who comes is a guest, let him in."
Xing Guan hurriedly got up and dusted the dirt off his butt. He rubbed his stiffened face and walked in.
He wanted to turn around and run. It was too dangerous, too scary.
However, he was like a bow on an arrow, he had to take his shot.
Xing Guan was a fantastic actor. He soon adjusted himself and said, "Sir, I'm a humble Taoist that was passing by. I saw this place and thought it was simple yet elegant. I got curious so I tried to visit. Please, forgive my intrusion."
Li Nianfan smiled. "It's not an intrusion. Please, sit."
Suddenly, Urchin asked, smiling, "Brother Guan, do you remember me?"
Xing Guan looked at Urchin and jumped. "You-you're…"
"That's right. It's me, the big Carp Demon." Urchin immediately interrupted him while smiling. Then, he said, "Who would've thought I'd see you here at Mr. Li's place. That's fate."
Li Nianfan was surprised. "You guys know each other?"
Urchin replied honestly, "Yeah, it's been a while. He's one of my oldest friends. Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is Taoist Xinghe."
It seemed like the old man was also a cultivator.
So, Urchin was a Carp Demon. What was the old man?
Li Nianfan nodded. He met a lot of cultivators so he did not ask a lot of questions. He smiled and said, "I see, Taoist Xinghe. My name's Li Nianfan."
Taoist Xinghe hurriedly saluted, "Mr. Li."
He suddenly ran into a friend so he felt much calmer. He started to observe his surroundings carefully.
There were a lot of people in the small yard. Next to Urchin was a black-robed elder with a long sword. He was a sword cultivator but Xing Guan could not figure out how powerful he was.
He glanced at the Fire Phoenix and Daji. They were more stunning than the Seventh Princess. He would not dare to offend them.
Huh? That little fox was a Nine-Tailed Fox?
The little dragon girl, Dragin. Did the Dragon King bring his daughter here?
There was a little human girl, too. However, her aura was extraordinary. He felt like she might devour his powers. She was awesome.
Bigshots. A house full of bigshots. He could not mess with any of them.
Plop!
He saw a Firefinch Demon at the corner of the yard. It laid an egg, which fell safely into the egg basket.
"Cool!"
His heart raced as his worldview shattered. He hurriedly looked away and noticed everyone had a bowl in hand.
A bunch of bigshots holding bowls. It was somehow quite a funny sight.
He noticed that everyone was gathered around a pot. The pot had some leftovers and it smelled good.
What a nice scent.
He sniffed and looked closely at the leftovers in the pot.
His eyes widened with shock. The Immortal Qi was intense in the pot. Power of Law seemed to flow in it!
Although it was just the leftovers, it still felt overwhelming.
"Heavenly Soup, this must be Heavenly Soup!"
The taste must be smooth and lingering. It shimmered in its essence.
He was a man of knowledge and he was also a foodie. He soon detected it was an extraordinary soup!
Of course. This was the house of the expert. Also, so many bigshots were sitting around with bowls. How could the soup be ordinary?
Taoist Xinghe felt his heart race. He started to tear up. He took in the aroma in the air and gulped.
Li Nianfan felt slightly awkward. "Taoist Xinghe, how unfortunate. We just finished the dessert soup. Sorry about that."
Taoist Xinghe licked his lips and asked, "Mr. Li, there's still a bit left in the pot, right?"
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, "That's the leftovers. I'm about to throw it away. It'd be rude if I let you drink that."
"It's not rude at all."
Taoist Xinghe felt a sting in his heart. He still tried his best to say, "Mr. Li, there's still a lot left in the pot. I don't think it's considered leftovers. Also, it smells so good, I'm getting hungry. I really want to try it and it'd be a waste to throw it away."
"That…isn't good," frowned Li Nianfan.
Urchin explained, "Mr. Li, cultivators don't have a lot of hobbies, so they never want to miss out on good food."
True. Cultivators were very passionate about their likes and dislikes because they lived for a long time.
Li Nianfan hesitated and said, "Fine. If you don't mind, please, help yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Taoist Xinghe was overjoyed. He looked at Urchin with gratefulness and hurriedly scooped a bowl for himself.
He sipped on it.
Slurp!
He was drunk from the delicious flavor. The smoothness of the milk flowed into his throat. It felt like a massage.
He did not chug it down. Instead, he savored it.
The milk of the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. Honey from the Golden Bees. And…that papaya. Power of Law came from the papaya. Was it perhaps a Spiritual Root?
So many treasures in such a small pot!
Luxurious, too luxurious!
He never had the chance to taste such delicacy before, not even when he interned at the Heavenly Palace. The ambrosia would definitely be the final dessert of the Flat Peach Feast!
Thankfully, he shamelessly asked to try it. Otherwise, he would have missed out and regretted it for the rest of his life.
Who would have thought that the old glory days were over but he was still lucky enough to taste such delicacy? Life was full of pleasant surprises!
Soon, the bowl of soup was finished. He still tried to scoop out the remaining leftovers. He would wash it down with water to avoid wasting a single drop, but he stayed rational.
Li Nianfan silently stood by and watched.
No wonder he would take the leftovers. The old man was a classic foodie.
However, it meant that his cooking was truly delicious. People loved his cooking no matter who it was.
Taoist Xinghe put down his bowl and complimented, "Delicious. So delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my entire life."
Li Nianfan felt slightly awkward. "Taoist Xinghe, that's making me slightly embarrassed. I'm sorry you had to eat the leftovers." 
Taoist Xinghe jumped. He could not allow a bigshot to apologize to him. He hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "No, not at all! Mr. Li, I should thank you for the delicious food."
"Haha, you're welcome." Li Nianfan laughed. No wonder he was friends with Urchin. He was also another friendly cultivator.
He suddenly remembered the seed he had with him. It would dry out and die if he did not plant it.
That was his wine gourd. How could he forget?
He hurriedly stood up and said, "Everyone, I suddenly remembered that I have to plant something in the backyard. Excuse me for a moment."


The Immortal Dao is ethereal, and Immortals are hard to find.

Li Nianfan had descended into the cultivation world as a mortal. After learning that he has no hope in cultivation, he only wants to live a peaceful life.

However…

The dog he adopts becomes a demon king of a generation when it sees his poems and paintings. It manages to suppress an entire world.

The tree he plants behind his house becomes a World Tree after listening to his zither music, forming a bridge between heaven and earth.

He meets a passerby who is enlightened by him and becomes an immortal sage who leads an entire generation.

When he looks back—

It turns out that the scholar who had been pestering him for his calligraphy and paintings despite having crappy chess skills, is a chess saint from the Immortal Realm. The beautiful woman who comes to listen to his music every night is the number one saintess of the Immortal Realm…

Look! The scavenger is coming!" Son Sty pointed its silver-gloved little hand.
"Hide now!" Papa Sty shouted discreetly.
They rushed among the garbage hills like squirrels eluding from superior and dangerous animals. They shot through an open manhole by the road like basketball.
The scavenger arrived at the foot of the highest garbage hill. He rummaged through it. Picked up empty plastic bottles to be sold to a junk shop. Picked up styrofoam containing leftovers from McDonald's nearby. Accumulated leftovers, wash them later, and re-cook to be served to his poor family.
"Papa, he's going to see it," said Son Sty excitedly, head poking out the manhole.
"That's great!" said Papa Sty, smiling.
The scavenger looked around for spotters. He picked up a silver wallet and tucked it open. He scoured through it. Empty. Except for a neatly folded white paper. He opened the paper and struggled to read against the dim light of the nearest post.
02-49-08-26-30-11 WILL WIN, LOTTERY
"I'm sure he'll gamble tomorrow," uttered Papa Sty.
"Hope he will," whispered Mama Sty.
The scavenger inserted back the paper into the wallet. He then hastily gathered the garbage bag which contained plastic stuff in any sort. In his left hand was a plastic bag with the leftovers. He walked in long strides, unaware of the bright future waiting ahead and willing to embrace him and his poor family.
The Stys came out of the manhole, headed to the garbage hills, collected all styrofoam, and squeezed them into one compact ball.
Son Sty rolled the ball to the manhole and dropped into a silver capsule below.
"Done," said Papa Sty, as he brushed his gloved hands with dirt.
They too slipped into the capsule. When the hatch slid closed, it concealed them like sardines in a can.
"I wish I can help more scavengers," Son Sty spoke up, as the capsule whirred silently.
"I wish too, son," said Mama Sty.
"Nothing better we can do to humans than to remove styrofoam from Earth," Papa Sty said.
"To eliminate the only garbage that will last for thousands of years," Mama Sty and Son Sty both said, as they always do.
