Quiet 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

Entering the study, Yan Yu casually looked around at the furnishings.


Then he saw her wall-to-wall cabinet full of comics, light novels, and figurines.


"Did you move all these back so quickly?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.


"Although my body is fasting, my spirit still needs nourishment," Xie Ruoxi said seriously.


Her expression was incredibly solemn, as if she were a preacher proclaiming the glory of God.


Yan Yu was somewhat speechless, so he sat down in the chair in front of the desk and asked,


"What issue do you have to ask me about?"


"Just a moment, I'm going to change my clothes," Xie Ruoxi said as she opened her wardrobe, pretending to be serious, "It's a bit hot today; if I don't change, I'll start sweating."


That was a lie, as a cultivator has great tolerance for temperature fluctuations and doesn't need to sweat to cool down, much less change into cooler clothing.


However, Yan Yu didn't say anything, because he wanted to watch.
