“Some classmates! I don’t even know what’s going on in their minds! They don’t do anything serious. After coming down to the mortal realm, they just stick around stealing and eating, accidentally revealing invisibility charms without even noticing, and still eating! When caught, they don’t know how to explain properly, offer an apology, or compensate for the damages. In front of so many people, they even used magic to disappear on the spot… It’s all about you—Chen Hai!” Si Ming’s hands were trembling with anger, and his beard was almost crooked.
Chen Hai immediately drooped his head in a wilted manner.
Si Ming placed his hands behind his back and continued scolding, “Chen Hai, for your actions today in the mortal realm, you need to write a 3000-word self-criticism. You’re not allowed to leave until it’s done. Aside from Chen Hai’s incident, there are 5 students in our class caught secretly using magic and being recorded by the human surveillance cameras! It was still Qi Yue who secretly smoothed things over for you all, so you also need to write a 1000-word self-criticism…”
Si Ming was currently lecturing the students on the stage about the improper use of magic in the mortal realm.
However, Ruan Qiuping’s name was not on the list of offenders.
Apparently, his weak acceleration spell, which was even slower than a car, wasn’t even detectable by the wristband due to its minimal power.
Well, after all, his cultivation had been stagnated for over 100 years, and then he was further weakened by nine-tenths upon descending to the mortal realm. Having weaker magical abilities was quite expected.
Ruan Qiuping wasn’t ashamed of this fact, on the contrary, he found it quite fortunate.
He hummed a song in his mind and lowered his head contentedly, picking up a pen to begin filling out the Record Book of Those Who Undergo Trials that the teacher had just distributed.
As he filled it out, Ruan Qiuping’s happiness dwindled.
He glanced at his wrist where he had been handcuffed, thinking about how that 5-year-old Yu Huan had managed to fool him so completely. Grinding his teeth, Ruan Qiuping lowered his pen and began writing under the ” Shortcomings of the Recorded Individual ” column: cunning, sinister, full of deceit, and a mouthful of lies…
No, there wasn’t enough space for this line, he had to write smaller.
With tight rows, he listed more than a dozen faults for Yu Huan, Ruan Qiuping finally sighed in relief and put down his pen.
The next line: “Merits of the Recorded Individual.”
No Merits, he won’t write!
Ruan Qiuping pursed his lips and continued filling out the rest.
” Recorded Individual ‘s Activities for Today.”
Ruan Qiuping’s pen paused for a moment. According to the rules, he shouldn’t have interacted with Yu Huan, let alone communicated too much with him. Thus, he had to erase any traces of his presence from the record.
“After the subject ran away from home, he hid beside an oil drum in an abandoned factory, was discovered by people from an illegal slaughterhouse, and escaped. Attempts to find someone willing to adopt him were rejected. Eventually, he was brought back home.”
Ruan Qiuping looked at this record without any traces of himself and felt something strange about it.
“You can take the record books back to fill in. They will only be collected tomorrow morning. Those who are required to write self-criticisms as a punishment should stay, while the rest can leave!” Si Ming said.
Upon returning home, Ruan Qiuping saw his father waiting at the door with a cheerful expression.
“Why so happy?” Ruan Qiuping asked eagerly, “Is something good happening?”
Ruan Shengfeng took out a small box from behind him, looking quite pleased. “Qiuping, guess what this is?”
“What is it? You’re being so mysterious!” Ruan Qiuping felt genuinely curious.
As Ruan Shengfeng opened the intricate box, he spoke, “Today, I took Dongdong to Trading Forest. Maybe that jade pendant you gave Dongdong worked its magic, as Dongdong had an exceptionally lucky day. She won all the games she played, so I took her to try her luck with a blind box…”
Ruan Qiuping was laughing and sighing at the same time, “Dad! Considering our family’s luck, how could you dare to try a blind box? Have you forgotten how we ended up with those two big gold lions?”

“…Gold Essence Condensing Pill?”
“Yes, it’s the Gold Essence Condensing Pill that can make the immortals improve their cultivation! Didn’t you enter the bottleneck more than 100 years ago and your cultivation has not increased, with this pill, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck… So what kind of shit is that the God of Fortune can be sealed after finishes his mortal tribulations? After my son breaks through the bottleneck, he’ll soon be bestowed with divinity! After sealing the divine position, you will be the real the God of Misfortune, and then you will be able to control your bad luck at will, and you will not be as unlucky as you are now…”
Ruan Qiuping tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, “Dad, come on, don’t daydream. With my pathetic level of cultivation, if I want to achieve godhood through transcending tribulations, I’d probably have to wait for tens of thousands of years.”
“Quit talking nonsense. How could it possibly take tens of thousands of years? Look at Yu Huan, your brother-in-law. He’s going to achieve godhood through tribulations in just over two hundred years. My son won’t be any worse!”
Tsk tsk, just a moment ago he was talking about ‘what kind of shit is that the God of Fortune,’ and now he’s turned into my brother-in-law…
“Quickly take this pill, consume it, and immediately start cultivating. Set a small goal for yourself, aiming to achieve godhood within 100 years!” With that, Ruan Shengfeng transferred the pill to Ruan Qiuping through magic.
Ruan Qiuping put the pill away and said, “My physique is suitable for taking pill when I practice, so that it can be better absorbed.” ”
“That’s fine, you’ll have to remember to eat later.”
“By the way,” Ruan Qiuping looked around the house, “Where’s Dongdong? Why isn’t she at home?”
Ruan Shengfeng touched his nose and said, “Dongdong… Dongdong’s been quite lucky these days! Your mother took her out.”
“Where did they go?” Ruan Qiuping suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
“…They went to the Administration Office of the Fuhua Gate.”
“Why did they go there?”
“Ah… isn’t your sister engaged to that young God of Fortune, Yu, at the Heavenly Marriage Stone? But your sister is still young, it will be over a decade before she formally marries. Your mother is worried that the guy with the last name Yu might have second thoughts after waiting so long. After all, when he becomes a real god, he won’t be afraid of a few dozen thunder strikes… So, your mother thought of applying for a temporary mortal journey. Spending a dozen days in the mortal world is equivalent to over a dozen years there. When she returns, your sister will be a grown woman, ready for marriage… This is what we call the ‘Time Difference Growth Technique,’ it was quite popular back when I was young…”
“What the hell is this ‘Time Difference Growth Technique’! Dad! You agreed to this too?”
“I… I didn’t agree, your mother insisted on doing it.”
No, no, no… I must find a way to stop this…
Just then, Xia Fushui approached from a distance, holding Ruan Dongdong in her arms, her face wearing a displeased expression.
This expression indicated that things hadn’t gone as planned.
Ruan Qiuping let out a sigh of relief and unconsciously took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Ruan Dongdong.
“I’m so frustrated,” Xia Fushui handed Ruan Dongdong to Ruan Shengfeng and complained, “The officials at the Fuhua Gate said they are conducting strict checks during this period. They told me to come back in two months, but Yu Huan will return by then… The two people ahead of me got their applications approved. Why shouldn’t I? Wasn’t it said that Dongdong is wearing the jade pendant of the God of Fortune Yu Huan? I don’t think it’s working much…”
Well done! The jade pendant of the God of Fortune! Ruan Qiuping secretly gave it a thumbs up in his heart.
After Ruan Qiuping finished his daily two-hour practice, he returned to his room to contemplate a plan.
He walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and gazed at the building across where Ruan Dongdong’s room was.
It seemed urgent to find a deeply affectionate lover for Yu Huan now.
Even the ‘Time Difference Growth Technique’ had come up. He had no idea what other quirky ideas his respected mother would come up with in the future.
Today’s trip to the mortal world had some hiccups, and he couldn’t accomplish the main task. Tomorrow, when he goes down again, he absolutely must find a childhood sweetheart for Yu Huan!
Ruan Qiuping was full of determination!
Just as he was about to wash up and sleep, he noticed the daily good deeds journal on his desk that he had been writing in for a long time.
There were no good deeds today, so he thought about not writing.
No, he must write.
His life had been so unlucky, if he didn’t extract a bit of goodness from his daily life, how could he continue living?
With a heart heavy with sorrow, Ruan Qiuping shook his head and wiped away the tears that hardly existed in the corners of his eyes. He sat down in his chair and began recording the good deeds of the day.
Well, to be honest, good deeds… there were some.
It’s just that when he thought of the scene where he had been deceived later, he didn’t want to admit it.
Today, there was someone, innocent and fearless, who said to him, “Infect me with your bad luck, maybe you won’t be unlucky anymore.”
Moreover, for the first time, he made a promise with someone. That person wanted him to keep his word, and that person was willing to wait for him.
Furthermore…
Ruan Qiuping glanced at his right hand, the one holding the pen.
Today, he held someone’s hand for the first time, even walked hand in hand.
Ruan Qiuping took a deep breath, preparing to close his journal.
But no, maybe all of this was just a trick from that little swindler.
However…
Ruan Qiuping still lowered his head and recorded all of these moments in his journal.
…
Unconsciously, he had filled an entire page.
Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment,then he turned to the next page and wrote:
“The seventh good thing: Today’s journal of good deeds reached the next page for the first time.”
“Childhood friend, childhood friend, childhood friend…”
Ruan Qiuping had been silently reciting in his heart before descending.
“I must find a deeply affectionate childhood friend for Yuhuan…”
Three seconds later.
Ruan Qiuping successfully descended.
He opened his eyes, overwhelmed by sorrow: “Oh heavens, this isolated villa in the mountains. Where on earth am I going to find a childhood friend for that little brat?!”
“‘Childhood friend’… what’s that?!”
Suddenly, a small, gentle, familiar voice echoed.
Ruan Qiuping was momentarily stunned, looking around, but there was no one in sight.
Auditory hallucination?
“Big brother…”
It was another call.
Ruan Qiuping touched his ear, starting to doubt his own hearing. Otherwise, why would he hear Ruan Dongdong’s voice here?
He looked around, suddenly noticing that his clothes’ pockets were bulging. Opening one of the pockets, Ruan Qiuping discovered a strange sachet inside.
It wasn’t an ordinary sachet but a Qiankun Pouch capable of holding up to 15 kilograms of weight.
Ruan Qiuping suddenly had a very bad premonition.
He tremblingly pulled open the rope of the Qiankun Pouch, and suddenly, the Qiankun Pouch enlarged. Plump Ruan Dongdong crawled out from inside.
Ruan Dongdong stood on the ground, curiously reaching out to grab the nearby flowers and grass.
At that moment, Ruan Qiuping noticed a piece of paper inside the Qiankun Pouch. It was Xia Fushui’s handwriting.
“I’ve found a way to descend to the mortal realm, but there’s no way to bring Dongdong with me. Please take care of her for a while. I’ll be there later. Also, try not to touch your sister.”
Ruan Qiuping’s hands trembled with anger.
So, it turned out that when the proper procedures for descending to the mortal realm couldn’t be followed, they resorted to sneaking across! His dear mother was in such a hurry to marry off Dongdong?!
“You actually came!” a joyful exclamation, unable to hide the surprise, rang out.
Ruan Qiuping followed the sound.
He saw a boy with delicate features running towards him with a joyful expression on his face. Due to his fast pace, the boy’s flawless cheeks even quickly turned slightly red. He was breathing lightly, but he didn’t seem to care. His eyes, however, were bright and glittering, like shining diamonds. “I actually waited…”
Before little Yu Huan could finish his sentence, he paused. His gaze was fixed on Ruan Dongdong behind Ruan Qiuping, and his smile gradually faded.
Separated by the black railing of the villa, the boy looked at Ruan Qiuping. His eyes were as dark as ink, and there was undisguised resentment in his voice. “You can’t take me with you, but you can raise other children, huh?”
Uh-oh, jealous ML detected! And his family is too funny 😂 smuggling poor dongdong to the mortal world just to marry her off faster 😂
thank you for the update ! this story seems so interesting from the first chapter
