1: Chapter 1 Master's Wife, Your disciple really didn't peek at you taking a bath.

Eastern Wasteland, Taiyi Immortal Sect, Liuyun Peak.

Crack!

Awooo!

"Mistress, I've been wronged!"

"I really didn't peek at you bathing."

On Lingxi Cliff of Liuyun Peak, a handsome young man in a white robe was hanging from a crooked tree, screaming at the top of his lungs.

The youth's name was Li Qing.

A Disciple of Liuyun Peak.

In front of him, a beautiful woman in green held a black whip, glaring at him with fury.

This beautiful woman in green was none other than Li Qing's mistress, Feng Yuheng.

"Still trying to talk your way out? It seems I haven't whipped you enough."

Feng Yuheng flicked the black whip in her hand.

Crack, crack, crack!

"Aaargh!"

Crack, crack, crack!

"Aaargh!"

Just then, Feng Yuheng's body suddenly trembled. The black whip fell to the ground, and a strange red light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Her slender body swayed, nearly losing her footing.

"Damn it, this is happening again."

"Forbidden Ground... Chen Bei..."

Feng Yuheng bit her lip.

[Here it comes, here it comes. According to the original plot, my beautiful cheap mistress should be possessed by the great emperors remnant soul from the Primordial Forbidden Land right now.]

Seeing this, Li Qing was shocked.

Indeed, Li Qing was a transmigrator who had entered a Xuanhuan cultivation novel titled 'Batian Ba,' becoming a background Disciple in the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

To put it simply, he was just a cannon fodder character.

Right now, even if he wanted to help his beautiful mistress, he had no way.

After all, Li Qing didn't have a System...

[Ding! System detected a transmigrator. Automatic binding successful.]

[Ding! The Gossip System is happy to serve you.]

"System?"

Li Qing was stunned.

"Holy crap."

"There really is a System."

"As expected, Systems might be late, but they never fail to show up."

"Wait, what the hell is a Gossip System? Shouldn't it be a cultivation System?"

[Ding! The Gossip System is a cultivation System. This System allows you to grow stronger by witnessing gossip.]

"Witnessing gossip?"

[Ding! That's right, Host. As long as you remain a quiet bystander to gossip, you can obtain Modification Points. These points can modify your cultivation. With enough points, you can even modify life and death or reverse the universe.]

[Ding! As long as the gossip is juicy and authentic, you can receive extra rewards.]

[Ding! The higher the cultivation of the person involved in the gossip, the more Modification Points you earn.]

"Understood."

Hearing this, Li Qing understood immediately.

It was just getting Modification Points by watching drama, then using them to level up. As someone from Earth, watching drama was his specialty.

[Ding! System reminder: During the gossip event, the Host must not interfere with the plot, or the rewards for the current Realm will be reset to zero.]

"Damn."

"There are even restrictions."

"Thinking about it, all Systems are like this."

With his knowledge of the plot, there was plenty of gossip. This was a melodramatic Xuanhuan novel. Just by the title 'Batian Ba,' you could tell it was cliché and melodramatic, but people loved it anyway.

Woof woof...

"Mistress..."

Just then, shouts came from the distant sky, and several streaks of light descended near Feng Yuheng, turning into two men and one woman.

These three were Li Qing's Senior Brothers and Senior Sister.

They were: Zhao Tuo, Bai Changfeng, and Pei Yu'er.

"Mistress, no wonder Junior Brother Li has been acting strange lately. It turns out he had such filthy thoughts. Such scum should be skinned alive, and have his soul refined." Zhao Tuo stepped forward, glaring at Li Qing.

"Holy crap."

"You dog, you're the one lusting after Mistress's beauty, right?"

"Acting in front of This Young Master."

Although Feng Yuheng, this cheap mistress, was middle-aged, she was a beauty on the Eastern Wasteland's Peerless Beauty List in her youth. One could imagine how beautiful she was.

As she aged, that mature charm was something young people couldn't resist.

[According to the original plot, it was this dog Zhao Tuo who peeked at Mistress bathing. After being discovered, he knocked out the passing Li Qing and threw him into the room. I'm more wronged than Dou E! Mistress, you can't believe this dog.]

"What?"

At the same time, Li Qing's thoughts appeared in Feng Yuheng's mind, shocking her.

"Li Qing didn't speak or send a voice transmission. How can I hear his voice?"

"Could it be... Li Qing's inner thoughts? I can hear his inner thoughts."

Feng Yuheng was shocked once again.

This was too bizarre.

[This dog Zhao Tuo not only lusted after Mistress and peeked at her bathing, but he's also a spy planted by the Moon Wheel Holy Land to provide intelligence.]

[Hmph, if it weren't for that cheap Revered Master dying, how would this dog dare to cause trouble so blatantly?]

"What? It's Zhao Tuo..."

The red light in Feng Yuheng's eyes faded, replaced by a cold glint.

"A spy..."

Feng Yuheng murmured.

She suddenly looked at Zhao Tuo and said calmly, "Oh? Skinned alive and soul refined? You are quite ruthless. As expected of a spy from the Moon Wheel Holy Land."

As soon as she spoke, everyone was shocked.

"What?"

Zhao Tuo's heart raced. This was his deepest secret. How did Feng Yuheng know?

No, she must be bluffing.

"Mistress, what are you saying? What spy from the Moon Wheel Holy Land? I don't understand. Revered Master took me in when I was five. You watched me grow up. How could I be a spy? Is your injury not healed, making your mind wander?" Zhao Tuo composed himself and looked at her calmly.

Li Qing was also surprised.

In the original book, there was no scene where Feng Yuheng questioned Zhao Tuo about being a spy.

And Feng Yuheng shouldn't have known he was a spy. Did something go wrong?

"System, System! Emergency call!"

Li Qing screamed in his mind.

Note: Any information related to the System is automatically blocked from being heard by others.

[Ding! Host, the System is here.]

"System, are you familiar with this book?"

[Ding! Backwards and forwards.]

"This scene wasn't in the original book."

Li Qing needed to clarify this. He was counting on his knowledge of the plot to follow the trail... no, follow the gossip. If the plot collapsed, there'd be no gossip to witness.

[Ding! Don't worry, Host. The plot hasn't deviated. A book is a dead thing, but this is a real world. Slight deviations are normal.]

"Understood."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it hasn't deviated, he can keep witnessing gossip.

[Tsk tsk, as expected of a spy chosen by a Holy Land. His mental fortitude is strong. My cheap mistress is probably out of options.]

[If only she could slap him to death.]

[According to the original plot, in a few days, this cheap mistress will face the first Possession attempt by the great emperors remnant soul. Zhao Tuo will happen to see it and try to take advantage of her while she's paralyzed.]

"What?"

"That beast!"

"Wait, the great emperors remnant soul?"

"How could that be?"

Panic flashed in Feng Yuheng's eyes.

So the changes in my body were caused by a great emperors remnant soul.

How did Li Qing know all this?

Can he see the future or calculate the heavenly secrets?

"Regardless, the most important thing is to deal with this dog Zhao Tuo." Cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Do you think I have no way to deal with you if you don't admit it?"

"Taiyi Soul-Seizing Art!"

Shadows of the sun and moon appeared in her eyes, and a beam of black and white light shot into Zhao Tuo's eyes.

Instantly, Zhao Tuo's body shook, and his gaze became dull.

"Are you a spy from the Moon Wheel Holy Land?"

Feng Yuheng looked at Zhao Tuo indifferently.

"Yes," Zhao Tuo replied blankly.

"Were you the one who peeked at me bathing today?"

"Yes."

"What else have you done?"

"Peeked at Junior Sister Yu'er bathing, watched Junior Sister Yu'er and Senior Brother Bai trysting and performing Dual Cultivation..."

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The gossip is ripe. Start witnessing.]

"Holy crap."

"Zhao Tuo has this hobby too?"

"A man of culture indeed."
