Gu Ningyun transmigrated into a novel. And of all roles, she became the cannon fodder female side character—destined to have her spiritual root dug out by the heroine right at the start. So what should she do? Simple. She packed up and ran. What, the heroine is searching for her like crazy? No problem—Gu Ningyun is already busy looting all of the heroine’s opportunities. ………… Gu Ningyun joins the number one sect in the cultivation world—the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect. The Xiaoyao Sect has three ancient tenets: Only by becoming strong can one attain true freedom. To cultivate blindly without thought is no different from being a puppet. When caught up in endless competition, remember to pause and listen to your own heart. Later, at the Grand Tournament of a Hundred Sects— Genius A from another sect:“Wasn’t it said that Xiaoyao has extremely high standards and is super competitive?” Genius B:“Yeah. Otherwise, how do you think they beat you senseless across realms?” Genius A:“Then why are they playing music and grilling meat while we’re training?!” A passing Xiaoyao disciple chuckles inwardly— If you’ve never entered Xiaoyao, how would you understand its people? If you’ve never walked the Xiaoyao path, how would you grasp its Dao? Reach for the heavens with a single hand, Lower your head and listen to your heart. In every action, effortless and free— That is the way of a Xiaoyao Immortal. Later still, when a beast tide descends— Gu Ningyun holds talismans in her left hand and a sword in her right. A black bear demon:“??? Aren’t you a wind-element spell cultivator?” Gu Ningyun pulls out an iron pot, lights a fire, and starts stewing bear paws. “Alright, I admit it… I’m actually a food cultivator.” A passing righteous cultivator:“Talisman cultivator? Sword cultivator? Spell cultivator? Food cultivator? …Heh.”
