"Old Mr. Anshi, so you're the one taking Xiaoyu and the others back?" The moment Ye Shuang saw Anshi Yilang, he seemed to understand something and greeted him with a smile.
"I have some business over there. This child, Xiaoyu, insisted on coming along, saying she couldn't rest easy letting an old man go abroad alone," Anshi Yilang said with a sigh of emotion. "The child has grown up and knows how to care for people."
An Shiyu, standing to the side, was expressionless and seemed a bit disdainful. "It was obviously you who insisted on tagging along."
Anshi Yilang just smiled kindly and continued speaking to Ye Shuang, "Look, my precious Xiaoyu never means what she says."
Ye Shuang: "..."
Then he looked at An Shiyaya beside him. Noticing Ye Shuang's gaze, An Shiyaya also greeted him, "Hullo."
"Is Yaya going back with you too?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yes, I want to go home for a visit during the holidays," An Shiyaya smiled.
At this time, Anshi Yilang looked at Ye Shuang and the girls beside him, and couldn't help but say, "Kid, you're living quite the comfortable life."
"Hmm?"
"Hmph." Anshi Yilang suddenly snorted and turned to rest somewhere else, leaving Ye Shuang a bit confused about what the old man was thinking.
After finding a place to sit, Chen Qin came over carrying a plate with some bread on it, holding a carton of milk in her other hand.
"Ah Ye, let's have breakfast first," Chen Qin said with a smile.
"What about you?"
"I've already eaten," Chen Qin said.
Accompanied by Chen Qin, Ye Shuang slowly ate his bread while browsing the news on his phone. Soon, he realized he didn't know where Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke had gone.
"Where are they?"
"Getting breakfast," Chen Qin said.
As they spoke, Ye Shuang saw Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke returning. The food on the young girl's plate was piled up like a small mountain, causing many surrounding passengers to cast glances their way. After all, it was getting close to lunchtime, and most people only had a simple breakfast to tide them over.
Bai Yuyou's eyes seemed to be shining as she stared intently at the food on her plate.
"Brother, there's so much to eat over there, even steak!" Tang Keke said excitedly. "It's just like a restaurant."
"We're about to board, so whatever you want to eat, you'd better hurry," Ye Shuang smiled.
"Understood!"
An hour later, it was time to board. Although the distance was short, the flight would still take about five hours, so it would be nearly evening by the time they reached their destination.
The seats they chose in business class happened to be a four-person booth, somewhat like a restaurant seating area but much more spacious. Even with Ye Shuang's height of 1.8 meters, he didn't feel crowded when stretching his legs.
An Shiyu and the others were on the other side and didn't sit together with them.
Just as they sat down, Chen Qin took a blanket from the side compartment and draped it over her lower abdomen. She then took out a medicine bottle, swallowed a pill with a natural expression, and began preparing to apply a face mask.
"What medicine is that?" Ye Shuang picked up Chen Qin's bottle, finding it was a separate travel bottle, so he didn't know what was inside.
[Item: Medicine
Meds, meds, check it out]
"Just vitamins," Chen Qin said, taking the bottle back from Ye Shuang's hands.
"Are you deficient?" Ye Shuang couldn't help but ask.
Chen Qin just smiled, "Maybe I haven't been eating enough fruit."
"It's still better to pay attention to your diet."
"Mhm!"
At this time, a flight attendant came over with a menu, asking what everyone would like to have prepared for lunch.
"Let us see!" Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou immediately reached out.
"Didn't you just eat your fill?"
"Just looking."
The plane soon took off, and Ye Shuang's group finally embarked on their journey to Japan.
"The weather is really nice today," Tang Keke couldn't help but say as she looked at the scenery outside the window. "I feel like if I hadn't met Yuyou, I probably wouldn't have traveled abroad in my entire life."
"Domestic travel is nice too," Bai Yuyou said softly.
Then the young girl looked across from her. By now, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin had already reclined their seats flat, covered themselves with blankets, and were resting with their eyes closed.
Bai Yuyou watched silently. Actually, she wanted to sleep next to Ye Shuang for a while.
"Yuyou, Yuyou?"
"..." The young girl turned her head back.
"Should we binge-watch a show?" Tang Keke asked with a grin. "After all, it's still early."
"Okay, what should we watch?"
"Lemme see." Keke operated the screen in front of her; there were quite a few genres available.
"Let's go with this one!"
Bai Yuyou took a look—
"The Noble and Kind Murderer?"
"Yeah."
...
...
When Ye Shuang opened his eyes again, an orange hue was already seeping through the window. Sunlight scattered through the gaps in the clouds like shredded gold, casting a golden-orange glow over every winding corner.
His arms felt a bit cold, perhaps because the air conditioning was set a bit low. Ye Shuang adjusted the back of his seat, his brain still feeling a slight trace of fatigue.
"What are you guys watching?" At this moment, Ye Shuang noticed Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke intently watching a TV drama.
"Uh, a somewhat unhinged show?" Seeing Ye Shuang wake up, Tang Keke scratched her head.
"It's about a villainous murderer who gets forcibly whitewashed by the writers into a noble and kind protagonist."
Bai Yuyou, on the other hand, couldn't quite understand the plot and shook her head. "If someone does something wrong, can they really just change their identity and have it all go away?"
"That is pretty unhinged." Ye Shuang didn't pay it much mind, only telling Keke and Bai Yuyou to watch less of such weird dramas.
His gaze fell to his side. Chen Qin was still fast asleep, wearing an eye mask and remaining motionless, save for the towering slimes quivering slightly with her breathing.
"We're almost at our destination." Ye Shuang checked the time; they would arrive in about half an hour.
"Brother, have you been to Japan before?" Tang Keke asked curiously.
"Me?" Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then let out a chuckle. "Yeah, I've been... Back then, I went with my ex-girlfriend."
Although in his memory, he had gone with Chen Qin, the subtle sense of incongruity was finally resolved when he learned he had actually gone with Zhao Mengyao.
After all, the Chen Qin in his memory was never that unreasonable and overbearing.
"Oh." Hearing about Ye Shuang's ex-girlfriend, Tang Keke chose not to touch upon the sensitive topic, merely asking out of curiosity, "Is it fun over there?"
"Fun?" Ye Shuang thought for a moment. "It is fun... but that's all brought about by the novelty. When you go to a strange place, you always feel like it's better than your own city."
He smiled and continued, "Once the novelty wears off, home is ultimately the best."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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.”
