Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Bottom-level corporate slave Qin Gengyun crosses into a cultivation world and becomes a low-level cultivator, but he is afflicted with Pill Poison and has only a slim chance of survival by marrying and practicing cultivation. However, Qin Gengyun discovers that even in the cultivation world, getting married requires a bride price! "Taoist Friend Qin, I earn two Spirit Stones a month. If you want to marry me, you need to earn ten Spirit Stones a month, three hundred Spirit Stones as a bride price, and a Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion." "Taoist Friend Qin, I need five hundred Spirit Stones and a two-story Immortal Mansion, just to have some security." "Taoist Friend Qin, I only need two hundred Spirit Stones and a new house as a bride price, but you must treat my child as your own." After several blind dates, Qin Gengyun finally finds a female cultivator who doesn't want a bride price. However, he discovers that there is something a bit off about his wife.

Neris's life ends at age thirty when she is poisoned by her adoptive sister Valentin. However, instead of dying, she wakes up back at age twelve with her memories of her previous life intact. Enrolled at the academy once more, she sets about exacting revenge on those who ostracized, assaulted, and ultimately murdered her. But she didn't expect that in this life, she'd cross paths with Cledwyn Maindulante, the cunning future ruler of the north. As a determined Neris sets out to make her enemies suffer―and prevent her murder―will Cledwyn turn out to be a dangerous foe, or her closest ally ever? *********************************************** *Noticed* - The translation isn't accurate and the language used is considered informal or "messy". - It's recommended to add this to your reading list to stay updated. - Readers are encouraged to support the original creators by purchasing the official version when it's available. - There are links provided to support the translator financially. - Readers are asked to enjoy the fan translation quietly and avoid causing any trouble or seeking attention.

Price of Freedom

Novel PSA: Moved to Royal Road, and relaunching under Free Yet Chained on August 1st 2025 Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. Chased indefinitely while the tunnel of freedom's infinite journey is constantly filled with rubble you need to destroy. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the one thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Death… After two years of meandering the currents of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. New world, new body, randomly “gifted” the power of flight after months of meditation — a perfect interpretation of freedom, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? And what in the God’s is up with that reverse whirlpool this kingdom revolves around? —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life

This is a great story for this genre.I really like the characters, especially Lady Claudia. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy more chapters. I'm not sure if the author chose the price or if it was someone else, but the paid chapters are 3x the price of other stories.

I do like this novel, but like many other novels it is not perfect. Still I have enjoyed reading it until it became a premium. It became a premium very fast in my opinion. It did not even reach 100 chapters. Anyway, the author needs his work to be paid and also to keep and upgrade it, but why the price to unlock one chapter is high! It is almost double the price of other premium novels! Can someone explain it to me please.

While escaping, he did not forget to take away the system that was regarded as a " taboo ". Other people did missions for resurrection, revenge, and benefits. [Li Huan's Mission: Kill Time] -- The Prince Regent, who had the most power in the country, pressed his forehead against hers and interlocked his fingers. His voice was very soft but very serious. "Huan 'er, I like you. I like you very much." The refined and scummy sickly brother hooked her little finger and smiled kindly. "You can either marry me or be locked up by me for the rest of your life. Choose one." The dark and stubborn Demon Lord touched her crippled leg, his eyes extremely gentle. "Don't run, you're all I have." …… Look. Although these people were occasionally seriously ill, they were much better than the one in the void. There were so many men in the world that Li Huan decided not to go back. -- Suddenly, one day, a certain system burst into tears. " Host, you should quickly escape. Sob, sob, sob."

A certain man grabbed the back of her neck. "Where are you going? She's already asleep and the kiss is over. What else do you want?" Help! Why is this person haunting us?
