Futile Devices Scans

“Your Highness, forgive this humble official’s incompetence, but I truly cannot find any illness. This young master’s pulse is steady and normal. If I had to name anything at all, perhaps he has a little excess internal heat. Some cooling food or medicine should be enough.” The Third Prince trusted Imperial Physician Li’s judgment. If…

Although Mu Xueshi settled down after making a fuss for a while, his mouth still would not stop. The Third Prince finally reached the end of his patience and began to suspect that Mu Xueshi truly was not pretending. If his mind were still normal, not a single thing he had done today would have…

Hearing this, both youths could not help breathing sighs of relief. However, Ning Xuan’s solemn expression made it clear that he would not give up until he received an answer, leaving them somewhat embarrassed. They exchanged a glance, and after a long while, the more cheerful and lively Qing Zhu finally spoke. Even then, he…

“Since Lord Likui wants them, naturally we’ll give them to him.” Hei Yu raised his wine cup slightly. When he nodded, the other Demon Lords followed suit. Although ten-thousand-year-old Duo-Duo Fruits were rare, giving them away could hardly be considered a meaningful loss to mighty Soul Transformation cultivators like them. Moreover, apart from tasting pleasant,…

“Enough.” The young man seated above interrupted the man beside Ning Xuan, who was anxiously trying to explain. “Take them away and put them to work. Only…” The man who had just begun to relax instantly tensed again at the sudden turn in his words. “That brat looks far too bewitching. Assign him somewhere farther…

“You’re not dead.” The Third Prince’s cool voice cut through the quiet room. Mu Xueshi froze, then slowly turned toward him. “What did you say? Say that again!” The Third Prince gave a contemptuous smile at Mu Xueshi’s disbelief and pointed toward his feet. “Didn’t Young Master Xue just say the floor felt cold?” That’s…

My chest feels a little tight. Only then did Mu Xueshi turn his attention to the Third Prince. Why was this man pressing down on him? Was this some kind of underworld custom? Better ask first. “Brother Bai, I have something I’d like to ask you…” Mu Xueshi deliberately made himself sound as polite as…

“Mu Xueshi, say one word of submission and I’ll take you away from here.” “Are you White Impermanence?” Chen Youzai asked with a bitter smile as he looked at the white-robed man before him. Elio’s Notes: White Impermanence (白无常, Bai Wuchang) is one of a pair of underworld spirit-enforcers in Chinese folklore, commonly depicted in…

With that thought, Chen Youzai looked up at the sun. It was already sinking toward the west. Night was approaching, and the next day would not be far behind. If this really was his last day, he ought to do something for himself while he still could. Without wasting another second, Chen Youzai broke into…

After enduring day after day of torment, Chen Youzai finally came to a bleak conclusion: living like this might truly be worse than dying. There was almost no hope of ever finding the silver coin again. If things continued this way, all that awaited him was a lifetime of suffering followed by a miserable end.…

Heart-rending pain tore through Chen Youzai, and there was nowhere to dodge or hide. He wanted to run, but he could barely stand. Everything was gone. His last hope had collapsed. He would not survive ten days of this; if starvation did not kill him, the beatings would. Chen Youzai wanted to cry but had…

Seeing no sympathy at all in the faces around him, Chen Youzai began crying weakly again. Crying was the only way he knew to release any of it. These people could not understand him, he knew nothing about this place, and he did not even dare imagine what prisoners here might be made to suffer.…

“Why? Why could they see it… Weren’t they… not supposed to see it…?” Chen Youzai murmured, no longer even noticing the pain in his hand. Images of Mother Chen and his classmates filled his mind, and a bleak sadness rose inside him. Am I really… really never going back? His vision went dark, and Chen…

After trudging who knew how much farther, Chen Youzai felt as though his body had reached its absolute limit. Suddenly, someone ahead of him toppled straight backward. Chen Youzai jerked aside, narrowly avoiding having the man fall on top of him. When he looked down, the man’s eyes had rolled back, his face was deathly…

“It really worked!” Those were the first words Chen Youzai said when he opened his eyes. Chen Youzai had never expected the transformation to actually work. So the most handsome person in the world really existed? The thought thrilled him, but it also made reality a little harder to swallow. If the most handsome person…
