You've got to chill... I only started a week ago and I was also shocked to find out that I had to pay from chapter 10, but don't worry it is not going to devour your money actually, it's worth the read at the end of the day. I guess the author wants to drive more thirst from the reader at the expense of losing them. But it's fine since we don't know what is in his mind as well!

Someone recommended this and I must say it is defintiely super cool. I love Xiao Ming's crude speaking and sarcasm that makes him different from other Xianxia characters I know
