The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn - Chapter 19: Looting

Five years ago, she was the biggest joke in Haishi! Seven months into her pregnancy, she discovered that the man from their passionate night was not her husband-to-be.The man she deeply loved was already having an affair with her sister...Five years later, she returned for revenge with her adorable genius child.To her surprise, the father of the child turned out to be the most powerful man!From then on, she became the most envied woman in the world!Tycoon Qi declared arrogantly: “You hired me for a hundred thousand, now I'm yours for life!”Princess Tian Tian clung to her leg: “Mommy, you've avoided me for five years, but you're finally back to take responsibility!”Prince Momo showers his mom with affection: “Mommy, here's my bank card, spend it as you like”Genius Yuan Bao complained pitifully: “Beauty Ling, you're not favoring only me anymore!”

In the magical Yarran World, a group of extraordinary professionals ventured into dangerous places for knowledge, wealth, thrill, and honor, exploring secrets hidden in the depths of time. Coexisting with dangers, they were given a fitting name—adventurers.With so many adventurers around, there would be a few oddballs, of course. Take for instance, the swordsman who used to be a thirsty hedonist and now spent his days looking for ways to put his life in danger; the knight who saw gold coins as his ultimate pursuit; the schizophrenic and overly curious priest, and the genius mage who was prone to zoning out and could not care of himself. What kind of strange stories would these kooky individuals create when they came together?Alright, all the above are just nonsense. In truth, this is a casual story of an abnormal, unscrupulous middle-aged man and a few problematic girls undergoing self-therapy- I mean, seeking redemption.You have been solemnly warned that this story is purely fictional. If there is any glaring similarity, you probably need self-therapy too.

Meet Gu Yu—a college dropout and a talented incense maker, and at the same time, the rather stoic protagonist of this story. Despite his somewhat introverted manner, he has a tendency to make sarcastic remarks in his thoughts. One day, after saving a squirrel, a windfall (metaphorically and literally) dropped into his lap. Stumbling into the cultivation world with little help, he was not turned into Superman overnight (as he would like). Apparently, becoming a cultivator would not make your life easier, at least in the beginning.

Somewhere along the road, he ran into Jiang Xiaozhai, a young woman who’s got the brains, the beauty, and maybe one or two secrets of her own. As it turned out, the two made a perfect team—Mulder-and-Scully style. Motivated by many unanswered questions, they had been running up and down the country, getting into all kinds of trouble, and learning more of the modern cultivation world, which is by no means the same as in the ages long past…

Humanity was living peacefully on Earth for millions and millions of years until the day unknown monsters from beyond space invaded them.

The system gave him quests to do, and Kye complied. He was getting stronger every time he achieved them, until the day it gave him a weird quest.
