《I Am Overlord》Chapter 1235: Fall of Cities and Kingdoms
Advertisement
The people from Devil Concubine's fan club sank into silence. They really didn't know what to say. They adored Devil Concubine greatly, yet she was admitting that she already had a man. She even struck one of them for him. This dealt them a massive mental blow.
"Devil Concubine, how can you do that?" Gongsun Tiehu asked as he clenched his fists in an unreconciled manner.
Devil Concubine turned her head, looked at him, and replied seriously, "Touching my man is the same as touching me. Don't do anything stupid."
Her aggressive way of showing her love had successfully touched Xiang Shaoyun. A woman who could bravely go all out for love and was also a remarkable beauty like her was not someone any man could reject.
Crack! Crack!
Gongsun Tiehu clenched his fists so hard cracking sounds could be heard. His eyes turned red. He was about to go mad from anger.
"Are you going to attack me?" asked Devil Concubine provocatively.
Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, nobody here was her match.
Gongsun Tiehu took a deep breath and looked at Xiang Shaoyun. He shouted, "If you're a man, get your ass over here!"
Xiang Shaoyun felt attacked. How was he not a man? Why should he get his ass over there? But since Devil Concubine had been so protective of him, he felt like he needed to do something as well.
Thus, he met Gongsun Tiehu's gaze and said, "I'm a man, but I won't get my ass over there. If you want to die, feel free to get your ass over here. Stop crying like a baby. A person's strength is not determined by how loud one is."
"I don't know why Devil Concubine chose a pretty face like you, but I'm giving you a chance. Admit that you're not a good match for her and leave immediately. You will be spared. Otherwise, the consequences will be grave," demanded Gongsun Tiehu.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything, Xia Liuhui said, "Are you blind? My boss and sister-in-law are perfect for each other, a match made in heaven. Why don't you look in the mirror? Are you even worthy of being with my sister-in-law? Piss off already. Stop embarrassing yourself."
His words were merciless and further infuriated Gongsun Tiehu.
"Your mouth stinks. Let me rip it apart," said Gongsun Tiehu as he unleashed his Sovereign's aura and sent a ferocious palm attack toward Xia Liuhui.
He held nothing back in his attack. As a peak Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, Xia Liuhui would stand no chance against him. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun stood before Xia Liuhui. He then casually swatted the palm attack aside.
"You want to fight? Make sure you're also ready to die before starting a fight," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.
"What an arrogant kid. Fight me one on one. I don't need people saying that we bullied you with numbers," said Gongsun Tiehu when he finally realized that Xiang Shaoyun was also somewhat strong. His competitiveness was triggered.
"There is no need for that. All of you can come together. From now on, Devil Concubine is my woman. Anyone daring to harbor any thoughts toward her will lose his head," said Xiang Shaoyun overbearingly.
A joyful smile covered Devil Concubine's face when she heard his words. When she smiled, it was as though 100 flowers were blooming at the same time. Even her surroundings looked prettier. All the men in the area were dazed. With one smile, she caused cities to fall. With another smile, she caused kingdoms to fall. That was perhaps the only way one could describe her beauty.
"I'll fight you. Devil Concubine is definitely not yours. She belongs to the fan club!" said a peak Emperor who finally couldn't hold himself back any longer. With a roar, he swung his sword at Xiang Shaoyun without caring if Gongsun Tiehu would agree to his challenge.

This Emperor was strong enough to fight Sovereigns. He could easily match second-stage Sovereigns, which was why he had the courage to challenge Xiang Shaoyun. His attack was sharp and overbearing, surrounding Xiang Shaoyun with numerous sharp energy swords.
However, his energy swords couldn't go far before Xiang Shaoyun jabbed at the empty air, sending a beam through the attacker's chest. His blood spilled, and his figure dropped from the sky.
"A mere clown," said Xiang Shaoyun with disdain.
The fan club members were infuriated when they heard his insult. Five of them charged him at the same time, sending five different attacks toward him from five different directions. Gongsun Tiehu, Su Youzi, and the others did not stop the attackers. They also wanted to see just how capable Xiang Shaoyun was.
The five attackers were not to be underestimated. Each of them was a genius capable of punching above his class. When they attacked together, they could easily defeat a second-stage Sovereign.
Without such strength, they wouldn't have been able to become the True Martial Academy disciples. They had assumed that they would succeed by locking down Xiang Shaoyun and attacking with their strongest attacks. Unfortunately for them, they had overestimated themselves.
With a smile, Xiang Shaoyun turned into a phantom and threw out several punches.
Enemy Sealing!
He moved slower than the five attackers, yet each of his moves perfectly countered them. Before they could even complete their attacks, his attacks came and prevented them from completing their techniques. They were sent flying away while coughing blood.
Xiang Shaoyun did not go overboard when attacking. He didn't kill them, but he did hit them hard enough that they couldn't continue to fight. After all, those capable of entering the True Martial Academy were genius cultivators from different powerful organizations.
He did not dare to really kill so many of them. Otherwise, he would offend not only the True Martial Academy but also the organizations behind them. Unless he was ready to kill everyone to eliminate all witnesses, he shouldn't kill any of them.
"Like I said, you should have attacked together. Maggots like you are not worthy of being with my woman. I'll let you know what this overlord is capable of," said Xiang Shaoyun as he dashed into the midst of the fan club members, his battle intent surging.
Xiang Shaoyun did not opt to deal with Gongsun Tiehu and the other leaders first. Rather, he went after the Emperors. His speed was unparalleled. Before the fan club could react, several people were already sent flying.
"I'm your opponent! Get over here!" Gongsun Tiehu roared and charged Xiang Shaoyun with his staff.
Su Youzi, Zhou Haoyu, and the others also stopped standing around. They wouldn't watch on as Xiang Shaoyun beat up their people. That would be too embarrassing.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz

Hello, Inside Monster
„I don't remember when or why, but they say I killed someone. I was judged for this, but I'm still free as they didn't find any evidence to send me to jail and to close me inside of a cold cell, for eternity. However, they are still after me! Especially my victim's brother who swore to kill me or to kneel me down. And now, when we are working together, I'm forced to see him every day and to see that big hatred he has for me reflected in his eyes. And... it's a reciprocal feeling: hating! But even so, something attracts me at him. Is it because I'm a crazy woman that loves the one who hurts her and hates her? Maybe! I don't have an answer to this question! But still, while his eyes are piercing me and leaving me blooding inside, I understand that I know nothing about this world. My name is Ian SolHi. I'm 30 and I'm a detective in the Homicide Department, Seoul PD. I've been accused once of being a murderer, but I've been also declared innocent, for lack of evidence. That's why I entered the police: to find out the truth and, since then, 7 years have already passed without finding out what happened then. But I feel that everything has changed now: the monster inside me has awakened and he feels the smell of blood."
