Summary
“Yin-xiong, your next two months are all booked up now! The reward is huge, they’re offering five-hundred gold and tons of valuable medicinal books from their city!”
The offer was proposed just one day prior and usually he wouldn’t accept offers this urgent, but he couldn’t decline this one.
It was requested from the sect leader of an all-powerful sect named the Darknight Court, influential enough to end up in the books that featured all the major sects of Qianyuan.Basically if Yan Da Fu had been appointed as a caretaker for the young master of the Darknight Court who had been wounded instead of plotting against Zhao Qingfeng.

Summary
If he was truly in Lanling, there were, of course, many problems with being alive again. Fate couldn’t even let him finish dying before throwing him back onto the gameboard, but surely the dice were loaded in his favor.
It filled him with a kind of hunger. One that made him want to hunt, to sink his teeth into what would sate the newfound appetite. How fortunate he was to exact his revenge in the past so he might perfect it with the knowledge of what was coming, what would follow after.
But this time he would not lose. He would not let Xiao Xingchen leave him. Not in this lifetime. He wouldn’t allow him the chance.
[Or, Xue Yang wakes in a world where Xiao Xingchen is still breathing. He proceeds to speedrun a redemption arc for entirely the wrong reasons.]

Summary
After the Jin save him following his massacre of the Chang clan, Xue Yang is upset that Chang Ping escaped his revenge and furious that Xiao Xingchen is still sticking his nose in, trying to get Chang Ping to denounce him. He speculates about how to punish them - but Jin Guangyao forbids him, as the Jin's budding demonic cultivator, to go on any more vengeful rampages.
Instead, Jin Guangyao promises to deal with Chang Ping and Xiao Xingchen on Xue Yang's behalf - and so, before long, Xiao Xingchen finds himself thrown into a Jinlintai prison, accused of Chang Ping's murder...
Catalan and Russian translations are available, see the notes at the beginning of chapter 1 for the links to these! (and my thanks to the translators for their hard work!)
