In a hospital room that smelled faintly of disinfectant, a little girl was leaning against the headboard of the bed, her eyes blankly taking in her surroundings.
Where she came from, and where she was going, she had no idea. She just lowered her head slightly to look at her little fingers, paying no mind to the whispering nurses around her.
Aside from the fluttering curtains, the window beside her let in the golden rays of the setting sun. As the light fell upon her fingers, even the breeze felt slightly warm.
"..."
"Little one, have you remembered your name yet?" a nurse asked with a smile.
The girl kept her head down. After several long seconds, she whispered, "Ye Shuang."
"So your name is Ye Shuang?"
The girl nodded uncertainly, because that was the only name she could remember.
Just then, footsteps echoed outside the room. Ye Shuang, Bai Yuyou, and the others pushed the door open and walked in. He first glanced at the little girl on the bed before immediately asking the nurse about the specific situation.
"Hello, what did you mean when you said she has amnesia?"
"Our chief physician just said that it might be because she just woke up. She can't remember some things for now, but she should recover after a while," the nurse explained to Ye Shuang, then continued,
"She just remembered her own name."
"Oh? Really?" Even though the system had provided the information, Ye Shuang still asked, "What is it?"
"It's Ye Shuang," the nurse smiled.
Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou exchanged a glance.
Ye Shuang was stunned for a few seconds. After double-checking the name she mentioned and hearing that the girl did indeed say Ye Shuang, he walked up to the bed.
"Little one, do you... remember where your home is?" Ye Shuang asked.
Only then did the little girl shift her gaze to Ye Shuang. Her originally blank eyes seemed to gradually brighten up, and she actually reached out and hugged Ye Shuang.
"Daddy!"
That single word left everyone present dumbfounded, including Ye Shuang himself. Looking at the little girl in his arms, Ye Shuang voiced his confusion,
"Little one, did you make a mistake? I'm not your daddy."
But the girl just shook her head without saying a word.
At this time, Tang Keke put on the look of a little detective, stroking her baby-fat cheeks. "Could it be that this is really my brother's illegitimate daughter left out in the wild?"
"Isn't she a bit too old?" Bai Yuyou asked.
"She's just about Qiaoqiao's age," Tang Keke said. "Even Chen Hai can have such an old child. If my brother had a one-night stand or something when he was younger, it wouldn't be strange at all for him to have a child this big."
"What are you two whispering about?" Ye Shuang felt a bit helpless listening to Keke's speculations.
"Hehe."
At this point, Ye Shuang had no choice but to check her information again.
[Character: Ye Xiaoyu
...]
This time it was actually an ellipsis. Ye Shuang narrowed his eyes, unable to figure out what went wrong with the system for a moment. He had to check the information of Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou instead.
[Character: Bai Yuyou
Nothing worth noting. If you want any information, just ask her directly, or feel it with your hands.]
[Character: Tang Keke
Go feel the thunder! Right now, catch the opponent off guard.]
Ye Shuang pinched the bridge of his nose. After confirming that there was no problem with his system and that it was the little girl who was a bit special, he thought for a few seconds and decided to take out his phone to call the police.
But right at that moment, the girl who had been motionless slowly raised her head and noticed Bai Yuyou standing beside Ye Shuang.
"Mommy!" In the next second, the girl actually lunged over and hugged Bai Yuyou's waist just like that.
Bai Yuyou looked a bit at a loss being hugged like that, but sensing the girl's emotions, she still reached out to hug her back and gently stroked her back.
"Whoa, Yuyou has a daughter now." Tang Keke stood to the side and let out a "whoa," but by now she was also certain that there was probably something wrong with this child, calling Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou daddy and mommy straight away.
"Since she can't remember anything, let's take her to the police station first to have a look. Getting her blood drawn and put into the database would be good too."
Ye Shuang didn't call the police either. Instead, after directly handling the discharge procedures for the child, he drove her to the police station.
Along the way, Ye Shuang kept asking the little girl some things, but she didn't seem to remember much.
In the car seat, Bai Yuyou just held the child like that, blinking her eyes innocently.
...
After bringing the little girl to the police station, Ye Shuang also made a record. Then someone took Ye Shuang and the others to check the surveillance footage.
There were plenty of cameras over at Xiangshan, not to mention near the bus station. However, the police checked the surveillance footage for several days, but apart from that Corgi that took the bus to Xiangshan for a walk every day, they couldn't find any trace of the little girl at all.
"Could she have fallen from the mountain?" Ye Shuang asked.
"We haven't received any similar reports," the police officer said. If a child went missing, the police station should have received a report from the parents.
Judging from the girl's clothing, she didn't look like a stray child from somewhere.
Moreover, there were cameras on the path up the mountain. If she really fell from the mountain, they should have been able to see the child going up the mountain.
"She couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, right?" Ye Shuang asked.
"We can only check the surrounding surveillance."
After having the child's blood drawn, Ye Shuang planned to leave her at the police station. But as soon as he let go, the little girl started crying and throwing a tantrum, "Daddy! Mommy!"
In the end, she hugged Bai Yuyou's thigh and refused to let go no matter what.
"This..."
"Are you really not this child's father?" The police officer also cast a suspicious glance at Ye Shuang.
Because he felt that the child's facial features looked quite similar to Ye Shuang's.
"She also calls her mommy," Ye Shuang pointed helplessly at Bai Yuyou. If she really was Yuyou's child, at what age would she have given birth?
He could probably be cellmates with the Dragon King in prison.
Even getting a 7.62 bullet injected intravenously was possible.
"Ye Shuang, let's take her back first," Bai Yuyou suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ye Shuang looked at the girl in surprise.
"She needs someone to take care of her. I can take care of her..." Bai Yuyou said softly. For some reason, she seemed to see her former helpless self in the little girl.
Ye Shuang remained silent for a few seconds, but eventually agreed.
In the end, he could only communicate with the police station, leave his contact information, and take the child back to settle her down while waiting for notice.
"Brother, since you're bringing your own child back, what should we call her?" Tang Keke looked at the little turnip following Bai Yuyou and asked curiously.
"Hmm..."
"Let's just call her Yezi." Even though Ye Shuang knew her real name, he couldn't say he knew it.
"Oh? Little Yezi?"

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 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. ...

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.
