Ghostly Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Zhao Yuanzhen ate a few bites of the stretched noodles and seemed to find them lacking in flavor, so she grabbed the vinegar pot and poured it vigorously over her noodles.


Chen Lingyun, however, had the typical tastes of the south, preferring light and savory flavors, and took a spoon to slowly sip her soup.


Yan Yu put on disposable gloves and began to gnaw on a chicken carcass, only to have Zhao Yuanzhen grab his arm and say,


"Leave some of that chicken for me, will you?"


"So embarrassing, you!" Yan Yu impatiently shook off her arm, disdainfully saying, "Miss Chen is treating us, we can just order more if it's not enough, what's the hurry?"


Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at Chen Lingyun with ill intent and then turned to look at the menu on the wall, about to make an outrageous order when Yan Yu knocked her on the head:


Tens of yuan for a bowl of noodles, no matter how many you order, trying to make Chen Lingyun go broke was simply a pipe dream.
