Thinking of the consequences, she hurriedly said in fear, "I am not very good at remembering nov titles. If you give me some hints about the content, maybe..."

"A hint?" Fu Young said casually. "I am not interested in the content. However, the protagonist’s name is called Ao Tian."

At this point, he could already say that name without any disturbance in his emotions.

Yu Lin froze for a moment, then said nervously, "Ao Tian? That sounds like a male oriented novel’s protagonist that I have heard before. However, I... I never read that books. I only read... female oriented novel ..."

"Oh, I see."

Seeing how frightened she was, Fu Young actually felt a trace of reluctance.

He rested his chin on his hand, wondering whether he should show her a bit of mercy later.

However, his tone and gesture were misunderstood by Yu Lin.

She thought he was dissatisfied with her answer.

Panicking, she racked her brain and quickly went through all the novel she had read.

Finally, she remembered something that might interest him and hurriedly said, "But there is one novel that might be related to this world."

"Related?" Fu Young’s eyes flickered slightly.

His intuition told him this novel could be an important clue.

It was only a simple question, yet Yu Lin trembled violently.

She quickly explained, "Because that novel and the one where Xiao Ran is the protagonist were written by the same author before I transmigrated. The country where the protagonist lives has the same name as the country where the female protagonist comes from. There are also many other similarities. So I think there might be some connection. I originally planned to find time to visit the Great Liang Kingdom where Xiao Ran came from, but I never had the chance."

"The Great Liang Kingdom? Tell me the general plot of that book."

It was connected again to the Sunfall Domain and his Master’s homeland.

Fu Young felt he was about to grasp something crucial.

Yu Lin nodded quickly. "This book tells a story that begins in the capital of a country called the Great Liang Kingdom..."

As Yu Lin described it, Fu Young learned that the novel, titled Love Between Demon and Dao, and the novel where Xiao Ran was the female protagonist, Longevity Love, were written by the same author.

The story of Love Between Demon and Dao focused on events surrounding a protagonist named Shao Hua.

Shao Hua was the lover of a cultivator named Dongfang Chen.

The two of them originally came from the descendants of a small cultivation family in the mortal world.

Their family declined after becoming entangled in the conflict between major Daoist and demonic factions.

Their talents deteriorated and forcing them to move to the mortal world.

Not long after arriving, they were attacked by a group of mysterious people.

Their entire family was killed, leaving only the two of them alive.

In order to cultivate and take revenge on both the Dao and demonic sects as well as those mysterious attackers, they relied on all kinds of unorthodox means such as robbery and deception to obtain cultivation resources and increase their strength.

Later, by chance, they obtained a treasure called Traveler of Time Mirror.

This Traveler of Time Mirror could display that person’s future and record it.

It was like the most precise treasure of fate, extremely accurate.

Even when the future changed, it would reconstruct and record a new future accordingly.

Such a miraculous treasure was like a priceless items to them.

Using its power, they began to search everywhere for individuals with promising futures, gathering them as reserves of talent in preparation for building a major force.

Once their pool of talent reached a certain scale, they established an assassin organization called Nine Abyssal Gate.

In order to hide their identity, Dongfang Chen placing a puppet leader in the open while he himself appeared only as an elder.

In this way, their organization gradually took shape.

More than three hundred years passed.

Nine Abyssal Gate continued to grow according to their expectations.

However, the two of them, due to their poor aptitude, were approaching the end of their lifespan even after consuming longevity pills.

Only by reaching the Nascent Soul stage could one seize another body, but they were only at the Golden Core stage.

Despite carrying deep hatred, they could do nothing but wait helplessly for death.

At that moment, perhaps sensing their despair and desire, the Traveler of Time Mirror displayed new content.

It revealed a secret technique called Soul Transferal Art.

As the name suggests, Soul Transferal Art meant moving your soul to another body.

However, this technique was different from ordinary methods.

Using it allowed two souls to swap bodies.

After the exchange, each soul would completely inherit the other’s fate, luck, merit, opportunities, and future.

For example, if the two of them used this technique, they could obtain young bodies, superior aptitude, and abundant opportunities.

Meanwhile, the ones whose bodies were taken would inherit their aged, dying bodies, along with the immense karmic burden accumulated from building the Nine Abyssal Gate.

The only cost was providing a large amount of spirit stones to the Traveler of Time Mirror as energy.

How could they possibly care about such a price?

After obtaining the Soul Transferal Art, they immediately disguised themselves and began traveling everywhere.

Posing as cultivators skilled in fortune telling and divination, they used the Traveler of Time Mirror to search for suitable targets for soul transfer.

During this time, Dongfang Chen had already found a male infant with exceptional aptitude and successfully performed the soul transfer.

Only his lover Shao Hua had yet to find a suitable target with outstanding luck, opportunity, and talent.

So he continued searching together with the now rejuvenated Dongfang Chen.

It was during this process that while traveling, they unintentionally performed fortune readings for the concubines and women in the inner residence of the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion in the Great Liang Kingdom.
