Yinshan Academy.
"What’s that?"
"A gorilla?"
"Damn, he’s so tall?! What a waste not playing in the NBA."
"That little girl is so cute."
"Are they both foreigners? Huh, why is Teacher Ye standing with them?"
Walking through the bustling street of campus stalls, perhaps due to the striking contrast between Bobo and Alice, they instantly drew a flood of attention. Ye Shuang could even see people pulling out their phones to record videos.
"Hmph, make sure to capture my beauty properly," Alice said, clearly accustomed to the spotlight. She tossed her golden ponytail with a proud smirk.
"Just a brat," Ye Shuang chuckled to himself.
But then again, kids from Russia might mature faster. Thinking back to when he was around ten, Ye Shuang remembered spending his days glued to cartoons like Luo Luo’s Adventure and Ultra Beast Force. Even Chen Qin hadn’t been this cocky as a child.
Maybe it was because she had a good night’s rest or because her bodyguard Bobo was by her side, but Alice’s attitude had reverted to its usual self—far from the docile demeanor she showed last night.
"Miss, we’re here," Bobo said, holding a parasol over Alice.
Alice glanced to the side and saw Ye Shuang stopping in front of a lemon tea stall. The one serving customers was none other than Bai Yuyou, wearing glasses!
"You, this gloomy girl, can actually sell lemon tea?" Alice tilted her head up, eyeing Bai Yuyou’s expressionless face.
Bai Yuyou looked at the little girl, rummaged through her pocket, and reluctantly pulled out a chocolate. "Here," she offered.
Alice: "..."
What gave you the impression I like this?
"Teacher Ye, are these two… your friends?" Zhixia asked, staring wide-eyed at Bobo, who towered over the lemon tea cart. It was her first time seeing someone so massive.
"He’s Alice’s bodyguard, and Alice is Yuyou’s younger sister," Ye Shuang briefly explained their relationship. While it wasn’t complicated to say, explaining why Bai Yuyou’s sister was a golden-haired Russian girl would be a challenge.
Besides, Bai Yuyou didn’t know that Alice was actually related to her by blood.
Ye Shuang wasn’t sure if Alice herself knew either.
Zhixia and the others didn’t dwell on it. The kind-hearted Zhixia handed them bottles of water. "It’s pretty hot today—have some water."
"You can also try our lemon tea."
"Thank you, lovely lady," Bobo said, accepting the water bottle, though in his massive hands, it looked more like an oversized medicine vial.
Tang Keke was unusually well-behaved now, with Bobo looming nearby. Even though Bobo was gentle, Tang Keke didn’t dare act too boldly around him.
"So, you’re selling lemon tea?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, but there aren’t as many customers today since the school festival is winding down," Zhixia replied. Still, they had already made a hefty profit over the past few days.
Combined with the prize money from their performance ranking—a fund for club activities—the once-broke Light Music Club was now swimming in cash, enough to rent a decent venue for future performances!
"I’ll help out," Ye Shuang said. He’d been assisting with making lemon tea these past few days.
"Bobo, help him," Alice suddenly ordered.
"Yes, Miss."
Bobo stepped beside Ye Shuang, who just smiled. "No need, Bobo. I can handle this myself."
"Mr. Ye Shuang, the Miss would prefer if you kept her company," Bobo said.
"W-Who said I wanted him to talk to me?!" Alice protested from behind.
"Please, allow me," Bobo insisted, extending his hand.
"Alright…" Seeing no way to refuse without being rude, Ye Shuang handed over the apron.
When Bobo put it on, it looked more like a bib, but thankfully the straps were long enough. Zhixia even tied a neat bow for him.
"Thank you, lovely lady," Bobo said before starting to pound the lemon tea. Ye Shuang had worried his muscular strength might shatter the cups, but Bobo was surprisingly meticulous, using just the right amount of force—even gentler than Ye Shuang himself.
"Do you always order Bobo around like this?" Ye Shuang asked Alice.
"Of course. He’s my personal bodyguard—who else would I boss around?" Alice replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. After all, Bobo had been by her side since childhood, unconditionally fulfilling her every whim.
Ye Shuang watched Bobo’s towering figure. "Did… Uncle Zhou hire him for you?"
"Dunno. Maybe." Alice seemed just as clueless about Bobo’s origins. According to the older household staff, he had just "appeared" in the house one day.
But with a mansion that large, an extra person wasn’t exactly noteworthy.
The only thing Alice knew for sure was that Bobo’s body bore countless scars—so many that he preferred wearing long sleeves and hats outdoors.
After lingering at the lemon tea stall for a while, Alice grew bored. She tugged at Ye Shuang’s sleeve. "Oi, take me shopping. My treat."
"Huh? Why not have Bobo take you?" Ye Shuang asked.
"No way. He’s too huge—blocks the whole view!" Alice huffed.
"Bobo would be sad to hear that," Ye Shuang said with a wry smile. "Besides, isn’t he supposed to keep you safe? Let him take you."
Tang Keke suddenly popped up with a grin. "Alice, I’ll take you! I know this campus like the back of my hand."
Alice’s face twisted as if she’d seen a ghost, instinctively shrinking away. "N-Never mind. I’ll go myself."
The sight of Tang Keke’s oversized backpack still gave her nightmares.
With that, she marched off alone.
"Uh…" Ye Shuang had no choice but to turn to Bobo. "Bobo, Alice just ran off on her own."
Still pounding lemons, Bobo merely smiled—a gentle expression that didn’t match his intimidating frame. "If that’s what the Miss wishes… Mr. Ye Shuang, please follow her. I trust you’ll keep her safe."
"Seriously…" Ye Shuang sighed at the dynamic between this master and servant before hurrying after Alice.
"Alice, slow down!"
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.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
