Succeed, or Fall into Depravity as a Witch!

Volume 1: Run, all the women here were former men!   

“The last few days felt like a dream.”  

Jiangming stood in front of a full-length mirror, admiring the brand new teal daoist robes that adorned his body.

The fine fabric made from snow silk was light and comfortable, like wearing nothing at all. Spirit stones dotted the sleeves and waist attracted a slight breeze, making these dog days'¹https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_days summer air still feel as pleasant as early spring.

Even in his previous life, Jiangming had never worn such mystical fine clothes. When he died and transmigrated here to this rotten world, he was utterly destitute, owned naught but the air within his sleeves, and was forced to tend the farms of the Black Sky Sect. He lived a life where even a mouthful of sweetened water was beyond his means.

How could he imagine, like the legendary carp leaping over the waterfall to become a dragon, that his destiny could be changed in an instant? Jiangming was now set to join the widely renowned Joyous Union Sect in the world of cultivation, becoming a ‘Demon Sect Stud’ envied by all! 

One must go back half a month ago to explain how this all occurred.

On that fateful day, while he was delivering spirit rice to his former sect, a cultivator took a liking to him and strongly recommended him to apply to the biggest sect in the area, the [Joyous Union Sect].

At first Jiangming did not dare, as he knew how unqualified he was. Why else would the Black Sky Sect thrown him out like a pair of old shoes, to toil the mountainous earth?

Yet, the prospect of enduring another half a year more of bare subsistence dug at him, and Jiangming really couldn’t take it anymore. In a rush of courage, he ran away to Joyous Union territory, gambling with his future at stake and applied to join the sect.

And the result……Hah, Jiangming was chosen!

Back in the present, the river carp of yesterday found himself past the dragon gate waterfall, not only to live surrounded in elegant luxury but also to receive a monthly stipend of five hundred spirit stones.

Including the clothes in his closet and everything in his home, all were custom made to his preferences.

Now, as Jiangming dressed himself with the fresh clothes from his closet, he had transformed from a mud-browed dust-haired peasant to a comely and stylish young master.

Even he couldn’t stop admiring his reflection some more, striking a selection of self-indulgent poses.

“As expected of me……I am indeed good-looking, hahaha~” 

Jiangming smirked at himself in the mirror, and couldn’t help but imagine the ‘blissful’ life he will live after joining the Joyous Union Sect.

On the way over, Jiangming noticed even the average-looking senior brothers with women on both arms, embosom all kinds of lovely orioles and swallows, living a harem love life to the fullest.

For a handsome man like him, would he not be a fox in a henhouse? 

When Jiangming was ploughing over at Black Sky Sect, he often overheard: Joyous Union Sect was steeped in debauchery, with beautiful women as common as clouds, and was known as the ‘Little Death of Heroes.’ 

The witches from the sect compete between themselves on disinhibition and foolery. Despite looking more alluring than the most heavenly fairies, they act more deviant than the most desperate harlots.

Auctioning off their own bodies to their archenemies, as human cauldrons.

Happily experiencing life in the sect-owned brothels, offering services at no charge.

And there was one legendary Saintess, one foot on sixteen boats simultaneously, who had affairs with all the Saints and Saintesses in all the orthodox sects back then. She even earned the fearsome ‘Husband-Wife combo meal’ achievement.

Tch……

Of Joyous Union’s female witches, everyone spoke with both contempt and admiration, torn between scolding their wretchedness and hungering for a taste themselves.

Of Joyous Union’s male witchers however, they were universally aligned — Not even the bitterest of lemons could compare to the envy I feel! 

Once upon a time, Jiangming was one of the embittered masses, but now that he was the target of jealousy, it felt……more euphoric than winning the lottery.

Night approached.

After dinner, Jiangming paced anxiously as he waited. Finally, the cultivator who recruited him, Song Tianxing arrived.  

Joyous Union Sect had an ancient rule passed down to this day: new disciples entering the sect must visit all the nine cities and sixteen peaks on sect grounds, accompanied by a senior martial brother. The senior brother will explain the many taboos, rules and regulations of the sect.

Only then could the new initiate be taught how to cultivate, and officially join the sect.

Jiangming had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. What a blessing it was to not only meet the good brother who changed your destiny, but also to officially embark on the path to immortality with him pushing from behind?  

“Master Song!” Jiangming couldn’t hide his excitement and shouted enthusiastically.

Song Tianxing waved and said, “We are sect-mates now, and the sect is your new family. There’s no need to draw such a formal line between us, so just call me your senior brother.”

He raised his head and gazed at Jiangming’s pretty face, seemingly smiling. “Junior brother, congratulations on becoming a member of our Joyous Union Sect. This senior has a little gift for you.”

He took out a pellet and brought it to Jiangming’s lips. Then, without warning, pinched open Jiangming’s mouth and force-fed it to him.  

As the pellet went in, it immediately melted into a stream of pure energy flowing into Jiangming’s limbs and bones, bringing with it a feeling of comfortable warmth.

Jiangming backpedaled in fright and bewilderedly asked: “Um……senior brother, what was that?”   

“It’s a cleansing pill to remove skin impurities and make you even more beautiful, junior brother.”   

Jiangming sighed in relief as he heard this, but the next few words shocked him again.

“Of course, there’s a slight side effect……If junior brother was to leak the secrets this senior is about to tell you next, you will bleed from all seven facial orifices, and die a sudden death.” 

Jiangming’s face turned ugly: “Senior brother, y-you must be joking.”

Song Tianxing did not reply, but his meaningful expression conveyed it beyond words could.

Jiangming took deep breathes to calm his mind, and quickly started coping:

[Well, what sort of sect don’t have secrets? It’s just to protect secrets, and they’re a demon sect after all. Doing this sort of thing is perfectly normal for them. I’ll be fine as long as I don’t leak anything.] 

[Yeah……that’s right, and I’m not a blabbermouth or anything. What is there to be afraid of?] 

“Please continue, senior brother. This junior understands.”

After this bout of reminiscent introspection, Jiangming placed down a chair for his senior brother, and obediently sat down on the opposite side listening attentively.

Song Tianxing sipped a mouthful of tea. His smile became more meaningful, and maybe even a bit perverted.

“Oh, junior brother…...” He said slowly, “Have you ever wondered why there are so many open-minded, personable and beautiful women in our holy sect?”

“Er, the female disciples were carefully recruited?” Jiangming looked befuddled and gave the obvious answer he thought of.  

Song Tianxing couldn’t hold it in and he burst out laughing, “Oh junior brother, you went through the application process yourself. Where did you see any women applying with you?”

“Abducted? Bought from slavers?” Jiangming changed his guess.

This was a demon sect after all……should be the norm for them.

Unexpectedly, Song Tianxing shock his head and objected: “Junior brother, you are incorrect. We’re the Joyous Union Sect, not a bunch of bandits or human traffickers. We do not do such things that are harmful to the natural order.”

“Then what is it?”

Jiangming was really confused now.

At that moment, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Naturally, Song Tianxing’s next words were like a crack of lighting on a cloudless sky, instantly shocking Jiangming right to his core. It left him singed outside and tender inside, cooked to perfection.

“Oh junior brother, the gender ratio in our sect is actually extremely unbalanced, but for our daoist practice we must have both Yin and Yang to dual cultivate together.”

Senior brother’s gaze became murky and possessive. It was as if he was looking at a self-prepared sumptuous meal, or a toy he had just purchased for himself.

He spoke unhurriedly: “Therefore, our sect has a rule. In the yearly sect exams, those that fail will become the junior sisters.”   

“???????” 

Jiangming’s face paled gradually. After a long while, he asked with his voice shaking: “H-how do they become…?” 

“Obviously, they are transformed into women.” Song Tianxing finished. He sipped another mouthful of tea, and sat waiting for Jiangming to digest this heavy load of information.

Finally, Jiangming's little brain had finished processing!   

Taking a deep breath, his expression collapsed and with tears in his eyes: “S-so, all the beautiful women in the sect are because……”   

“That’s right, they’re all formerly beautiful boys like yourself. Generally speaking, ninety-nine percent of you won’t make it past the first exam.” Song Tianxing scratched at the tea lid as he responded leisurely.

He loved watching this part!

“So, the reason why they’re so open-minded is because……” Jiangming looked like he lost his soul.

“After all, they’re formerly male. The notion of chastity for them almost doesn’t exist. After some training by their senior brothers, and tasting the pleasures of their new bodies, falling into depravity and sinking into constant oestrus comes rapidly.” 

“Damn all this…...!” 

Jiangming howled at the sky. Suddenly, he came back to his senses, turned and ran while his senior brother was distracted.

However, this was basically a meaningless struggle. A spiritual cord grabbed hold of him and dragged him right back.

“Don’t run — once you learn this truth, you can never withdraw from the sect. Otherwise, our Elder Yuanling²Spirit-Kite will hunt you down. That old monster is a Nascent Soul.” 

Song Tianxing smiled as he watched the young man trembling on the ground, and felt like he’s already got the prey within his jaws. He finally stopped pretending, and his voice was filled with malicious intent.

“Junior brother, there’s no need to be afraid~” 

“At worst, when you become a junior sister, even if senior brother is wrung dry, I will still take good care of you. You’ll never be lonely again……hahahahaha~”
