Chapter 2 - Leaving the Nest to Catch a Phoenix

Yes, yes... a surprise, isn't it? What does he do now? The handsome, wealthy Morse Xuan... in his past life, he was a lonely, obese shut-in living in a wasteland of noodle cups and paper tissues scattered everywhere.

​The person who had won the honorary award for the "Model Man" for two consecutive years in the entire Xuan Clan was, in reality, nothing but a new version of a useless man.

​Morse had died in his past life after spending two whole days reading a novel, which led to his death in the worst possible way.

​Aside from all that... "The world is doomed... and humanity will perish because every man on Earth is going to die."

​It seemed utterly impossible—insane at first—but it was real, and that made it even worse.

​In this world, cultivation exists; a Wuxia world. Among the sins, the three primary desires represented the demonic factions.

​The Celestial Phoenix had ascended with her legendary fires, far beyond the imagination of mortals, to the heavenly realms. After her descent, stories said she had defeated everyone in the celestial world.

​She burned herself to be reborn from the ashes once again.

​But that wasn't actually true. In reality, the Celestial Phoenix was defeated by the Heavenly Realm.

​They placed upon her the Curse of Undying Lust. In the end, this lust swallowed both the heavenly and mortal worlds.

​"I don't want to die... I don't want to die like this."

​Having all his energy sucked out by a lustful woman until death... that was far too dark.

​In the novel Nights of the Celestial Phoenix's Lust, Ni Ni Layan was the reincarnation of the Celestial Phoenix. Because of her defeat by the Heavenly Realm, her blazing solar flame energy had transformed into the root of her desire: Lust.

​It became impossible for her to purify herself or ascend back to the Heavenly Realm.

​But through the endless dual cultivation throughout the story, Ni Ni Layan's power increased until she became the strongest, eventually annihilating every man in the world because her desires could never be satisfied.

He was now in a state of denial... uncertainty. All the dreams he had been having were actually just memories of the novels he had read in his past life.

​In a moment of trying to pull himself together, he finally sat up to write down the events of the novel he remembered so he wouldn't forget.

​He completely ignored the System for now, which was presenting him with the choice between the Yin Path or the Yang Path. Instead of choosing, he began writing the plot of the novel, most of which consisted of erotic scenes. Finding the important plot points required him to squeeze his brain like a lemon.

​"The Celestial Phoenix... the legend of the demonic sects. She was incredibly legendary... the embodiment of the sun and rebirth. But after defeating everyone in the Celestial World, she felt bored and found a new pleasure in life: Sex."

​That was the truth. The Celestial Phoenix didn't lose against the Celestial World; she defeated them easily. She had reached the highest levels of power and found no more joy in cultivation.

​"What a damn story this is..."

​After ruling the Immortal Celestial Palace in the heavens, one of her servants suggested that instead of feeling bored, why not try masturbation?

​The Celestial Phoenix felt the servant was insulting her and killed her. But when she tried it for the first time, she felt she had found her new purpose in life.

​However, she was surprised by an ambush while she was in her most vulnerable state. All the powerhouses gathered against her and killed her.

​"Is all of this just the beginning?"

​To be reborn again in a new body... now she is in seclusion in the mountains until her powers awaken and she begins her journey of pleasure.

​"We are finished..."

​Morse wondered about the rest of the story... but all that remained was sex, sex, suspicious positions, multiple penetrations, all kinds of weird games... more sex, men dying, and the end of the world.

Should he sit and wait for his end? Certainly not. But the situation was extremely dangerous, and all his enemies were waiting for his death.

​He was in complete peril, and the problem was that he didn't know what had happened after he was poisoned, as he had fallen into a coma.

​But he certainly wouldn't wait, and he wouldn't choose anything yet. He decided he would choose the Yang path again.

​The problem was that his channels were eroded. If he regained his strength suddenly, he would be attacked even more fiercely than before. He had to pretend to be a cripple until he found a solution.

​Now, all he wanted was to find this girl before she dived into lust, after which no one would be able to save her.

​Morse found something very strange in the novel. It was described that the Celestial Phoenix in the demonic sect represented the desire of lust.

​But in reality, she had been a virgin all her life until she reached immortality, even though she carried an inherent desire in her lineage.

​In fact, ascending to the Heavenly Realm required a perfect balance between Yin and Yang. In her previous life, Ni Ni Layan achieved this balance by not obeying her lust, even though it was part of the Yang energy that is the foundation of all desires.

​"But in her current life, she obeyed the lust, so she ascended much faster."

​Because the Celestial Phoenix obeyed the primal desire rooted in her core, she ascended to the rank of immortality by forming her own immortal essence.

​Quickly, Morse arranged his clothes. He wore very ordinary, non-flashy clothes because he was going deep into the mountains now.

​Just as he was about to leave, the door swung open and a maid entered. Without noticing, she bumped into Morse, and the bucket of water she was carrying splashed all over him.

​When he looked at the maid, it was Chen Shu, his servant since childhood, who had come to protect him.

​When she looked at Morse, tears were on her cheeks.

​"The... the... Young Master! The Young Master has awakened! Thanks to the Heavens for your health!"

​She tried to approach and hug him, but he immediately pushed her away with his hands as he stood up from the floor, looking at his soaked clothes.

​When the maid saw what she had done to him, she fell to her knees in a regretful bow.

​"I am sorry, Young Master. This servant confesses her guilt."

​"Why don't you just shut up."

​His clothes were now drenched with warm water.

​He had no other suitable clothes for the rugged terrain except these. He took a deep breath; he had decided to go out no matter what happened. He would never waste his time.

​"Wait, Young Master, let me change your clothes for you."

​"No need."

​Morse stepped out of his room and walked down the stairs step by step. He looked at the sunlight above him and finally inhaled the refreshing scent of the air.

​He walked through the clan's grounds. Everyone saw him, and news spread quickly that Young Master Morse had indeed woken up, and that there wasn't a single trace of Qi felt from him.

​This news reached the wrong person very quickly.

At the carriage station, Morse was already about to board. Everything had been prepared. He could no longer use flying swords, so he would take a flying carriage to move quickly out of the clan's territory.

​His destination was beyond Jian Province entirely—Lin Province, where Mount Xiuling stood. This was the mountain where the heroine had secluded herself in secret to regain her strength.

​In the midst of this moment, while Morse was in the carriage and about to depart, it suddenly came to a halt. Morse looked through the window and found a total of about fifty martial masters.

​That was an approximate number, and the group was led by an utterly loathsome face. He stood in the middle of the crowd until he stepped forward in his luxurious red robes.

​He signaled for Morse to come down. When Morse stepped out, the young man in the lavish red clothes and jade rings smirked at him.

​"Look who we have here. The soaked chick... his dear mother's little darling. May my prayers for her in her peaceful grave reach her. Is the little chick trying to run away?"

​Morse let out a light laugh as he looked at his half-brother, the son of Concubine Qian—Bing Xuan. The cursed wretch had come to stir up trouble; he couldn't even wait. What a bastard.

​"Little Bing has grown bold enough to defy his elder brother. Look at your dear mother, who used to leave you with the servants while she went out to enjoy herself. "

He continued speaking .

"I even changed your diaper once. I've seen your backside and slapped it, yet you dare to call me a chick? If you want to fight, come at me alone."

Bing grew furious at his elder brother's words.

​"I didn't come to fight with my father's son... we are brothers after all. I am only here to congratulate my dear brother on waking up. But unfortunately, my brother is now a cripple."

​Sniff, sniff... He made a sniveling sound with his nose, trying to pretend he was deeply moved in front of the entire crowd.

​"Don't worry... if you go to the countryside and get married, know that you have a brother who will not forget you. I will provide you with food so you can feed your family. I am sorry for interrupting you. Let's go, boys."

He would never forget this insult as long as he lived... Someday, he would have his reven
