Duang.
Jiang Jiajia's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment as she stood frozen in place.
Happiness had come too quickly, like a whirlwind.
It left her feeling utterly disoriented.
"Xu—Xu Mo, are you serious?"
Although they hadn't kissed on the lips,
he had at least kissed her on the cheek.
(づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～
For Jiang Jiajia, this was something she had never dared to imagine before.
That single kiss.
Made her legs go weak.
Xu Mo chuckled and said, "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"
Jiang Jiajia, his assistant, had been a great help to him.
Hiring her was definitely the right decision.
Over the years, Jiang Jiajia had been diligent and dedicated.
Xu Mo had noticed all of it.
In his previous life, his death hadn't brought everything to an end.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Jiajia,
she had likely joined the female lead's camp to deal with the crooked-mouthed Dragon King.
She had been quietly helping behind the scenes.
Moreover, Xu Mo was now determined to eliminate the protagonist, Lin Fan.
This was going against the natural order of things.
At any moment, he might wake up in another world.
Rather than that,
he decided to fulfill the wishes of those around him while they were still here.
There was no point in waiting.
Because the future was too uncertain.
"Do you think the second-tier families will tremble in fear if I suddenly take action against the Li and Ma families? Will they think I can target them next?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jiajia smiled sweetly, then snorted coldly.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings. Xu Mo, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to care about the opinions of trash."
Xu Mo's tone was playful. "You're encouraging me to be a tyrant."
"If you want to be a tyrant, I'll be your Daji. Why not?"
Jiang Jiajia was on cloud nine.
That cheeky kiss had left her dizzy.
Her boldness had skyrocketed.
"I have a wife, you know."
"????? Pfft—"
Jiang Jiajia quickly returned to her senses.
Her face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
To ease her embarrassment, Xu Mo continued.
"I'm not crazy. Everything I do has a reason. If people don't provoke me, I won't target them for no reason. This city is huge, so why do I only have a problem with the Ma and Li families? There must be a reason. Jiajia, do you remember the trolls that suddenly appeared last night?"
After Xu Mo's hint,
Jiang Jiajia's face still flushed, her mouth slightly open in disbelief.
"Xu Mo, are you saying you suspect those two families are behind this?"
Xu Mo smirked. "Be confident. Remove the word 'suspect.'"
"Hmph, they deserve it!" Instantly, a surge of anger rose within Jiang Jiajia.
When she had taken action earlier,
she had thought she might have gone too far.
But now,
it seemed she hadn't gone far enough.
Instead of letting them fend for themselves, she should have wiped them out completely!
They shouldn't even keep their properties!
Jiang Jiajia felt it was absolutely necessary to do something more.
"Later, call my sister and ask her to pass a message to a lady named Gao Liyuan. Please ask Miss Gao Liyuan to help uncover all those trolls and gather evidence of their collaboration with the Li and Ma families. Have her organize the evidence and send it to us. Then, take it to our legal department and hand it over to Zhang San. I trust he'll know what to do."
Xu Mo was avoiding as much as he could.
He didn't dare go home.
The temptation to return home?
Pfft—
He understood Xu Shi's feelings.
He also understood that Xu Shi wasn't his biological sister.
So why go back?
It would just be awkward.
Xu Mo wanted to give Xu Shi some time to cool off.
He already had a "demoness" in his life.
There was no possibility between him and Xu Shi.
Even without the "demoness,"
Xu Mo had no intention of crossing that line.
After all, he had always seen Xu Shi as a sister.
No matter what happened,
that would never change!!!
Jiang Jiajia was very obedient. She didn't ask Xu Mo why, nor did she ask who Gao Liyuan was.
She would follow Xu Mo's instructions 100%!
Unless it was something completely outrageous,
Jiang Jiajia would voice her concerns.
As for targeting the Ma and Li families,
if Su Ting blamed her,
Jiang Jiajia was willing to take the fall for Xu Mo.
She would say she misunderstood Xu Mo's intentions,
or that she had gone too far.
In any case, she would take the main responsibility.
After Jiang Jiajia left,
Xu Mo walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched.
Xu Corporation was located in the most bustling area of Magic City.
Every inch of land here was worth a fortune.
Of course,
this didn't affect him.
Because he had the power of money.
And the setting was just like that—what could he do?
Standing at the top, he could see the entire city's most magnificent scenery.
"Maybe I should go visit Jingying."
Xu Mo frowned slightly, muttering to himself.
If he weren't some damn antagonist,
if there were no Lin Fan or all these worldly troubles,
he might have married his childhood sweetheart, Yang Jingying.
Back then,
he had managed to charm the little girl version of Yang Jingying.
At that time,
the Xu Family wasn't the most powerful,
and the Yang Family was also influential.
They were a perfect match.
No class barriers, no parental objections—just a normal relationship leading to marriage.
But for Xu Mo, a transmigrator,
this world was full of malice!!!!
Putting aside his scattered thoughts,
Xu Mo decided not to dwell on unnecessary worries.
He suddenly remembered that he had recently drafted a business proposal.
Soon,
Xu Mo retrieved the proposal.
In his previous life, Yang Jingying had exhausted her family's resources for him.
As for her getting close to the crooked-mouthed Dragon King,
it was just to make him jealous.
Xu Mo had learned this from Xu Shi.
He felt he owed his childhood sweetheart too much.
He wasn't talking about repaying a drop of kindness with a flood,
nor about offering himself in marriage.
That was no longer possible.
But giving her a business proposal,
to help strengthen the Yang Family's position—that was doable.
As for the Zhou Family,
Xu Mo had other plans.
Besides the Zhou Family, there were also the Han and Shen Families.
Xu Shi had also revealed the "foolish woman."
Xu Mo never expected that the "foolish woman" would also help.
He wondered if something had gone wrong with her in his previous life.
"Go to the Yang Group and personally deliver this document to CEO Yang Jingying."
Xu Mo called over a department manager.
This manager was in charge of the cooperation projects with the Yang Family.
He called her over because she was familiar with the Yang Family, making things easier.
"Xu Mo, should I mention that it's from you?"
The female manager asked.
Xu Mo took a deep breath. "Yes."
He also emphasized that the document must be handed directly to Yang Jingying.
No one else was allowed to take it.
Only then did the manager leave.
Xu Mo took out a bottle of fine red wine from the fridge.
He poured himself a full glass.
"The wind howls, the river chills; the hero sets off, never to return."
"Damn system, you knew I couldn't go back, yet you didn't warn me earlier. Playing me for a fool—was it fun?"
"If you think it's fun, then I'll drag Lin Fan to hell. Let's make it a big game."
"Don't you agree?"
The system remained silent.
As if dead.
Xu Mo was used to it.
This damn system was unreliable, often inactive.
It didn't even give out reward notifications anymore.
Xu Mo didn't have time to investigate further.
The system's silence was better!
It was tacitly approving his actions.
If the system had issued a warning,
telling him not to kill Lin Fan,
Xu Mo would still have raised his sword against Lin Fan.
That was unquestionable.
He would settle the debts of two lifetimes!!!!
Meanwhile,
at the Yang Group.
Recently, their volcanic mud skincare products had been selling like hotcakes.
Following the secret formula,
they had launched volcanic mud masks, volcanic mud sunscreen, and volcanic mud lip balms.
All derived from the secret formula.
The results were remarkable and immediate.
Some products whitened, while others tanned.
They had taken the world by storm.
The Yang Family's business these days could be described as making a fortune daily.
They didn't have to worry about having no market for their products.
Instead, they worried about not having enough stock.
The Yang Family's skincare products
had become the subject of jokes among netizens who couldn't get their hands on them.
'Why don't you just bring more stock to sell?'
As for Yang Jingying,
even though she was making a lot of money,
she was deeply unhappy, losing her appetite and shedding several pounds recently.
-------------------------------------------------
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
