Chapter 106
The black clouds looked as if they were going to crush the sky.
Crack!
Finally, as a bolt of lightning flashed across the horizon, a torrential downpour began.
The fierce wind and heavy rain battered the windows, rattling them loudly.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran, it's raining, go close the windows!"
After a long time with no one coming to close them, the young girl, who was currently wrestling with a wok in the kitchen, shouted loudly.
"Oh, got it."
A voice answered from the room. Gu Ran lazily dragged his body up and unhurriedly went to each room to shut the windows.
This sluggish appearance made Ye Zhenzhen's teeth itch with irritation.
Seeing him turn around to go back into his room to play on the computer, she couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Come here."
"What?"
He turned back to the kitchen door, hands in his pockets, leaning lazily against the doorframe.
His boneless posture made the girl's eyelids twitch.
This guy... is hopeless.
"Help me hold the pot lid to block the splattering oil."
The well-intentioned older sister wanted to find something for her idle younger brother to do, not wanting him to continue being so decadent.
The college entrance exam only ended a few hours ago!
And he was already this lazy. If he had a two or three-month vacation, wouldn't he be completely useless?
No way. As his sister, she would never let that happen.
He looked at the girl in front of him, holding a spatula in one hand and a pot lid like a shield in the other.
She was standing a good two meters away from the stove, looking so cautious that it seemed like she was fighting a war.
"What are you..."
Stepping forward gently, he poked his head over to peek into the wok, where an indescribable black lump was being tossed around.
"Uh, are you... seasoning the wok?"
With a face full of invisible black lines, he twitched the corner of his mouth and asked tentatively.
"Seasoning the wok? What's that? I'm cooking, can't you tell?"
Ye Zhenzhen had a look of pride and confidence, and her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at her silly brother.
This pampered young master who never did any chores hadn't even seen someone cook before.
A true gentleman stays away from the kitchen, huh?
Heh...
Seeing the girl's matter-of-fact expression, his face couldn't help but twitch a few more times.
She...
How on earth did she manage to say such things without blushing or skipping a beat?
Cooking?
She wasn't cooking a damn thing!
"What are you cooking in the pan?"
"Eggs!"
As Ye Zhenzhen answered, her eyes were filled with confusion, making him feel a deep sense of exhaustion.
The world had finally gone mad...
Sighing, in order not to be poisoned to death, Gu Ran raised his hand, gesturing for the battling girl to step aside, and reached out to take over the wok.
"Can you do it?"
Gu Ran: "..."
She actually had the nerve to question him?
"At the very least, I'm better than you."
In his past life, he had lived like a dog. If he didn't know a thing or two about cooking, he would have starved to death long ago.
Eat out every day?
He wouldn't have even lived past twenty-five!
His meager salary meant he could only buy discounted vegetables from the supermarket and cook them in his small rented room.
...
Outside the window, the fierce wind howled, and the pitter-patter of the rain drowned out the noise of the entire city.
Inside the kitchen, warm lights shone as the pretty girl watched the person beside her.
They say a serious man is the most handsome.
Ye Zhenzhen seemed to understand the meaning of that saying at this moment.
Her beautiful eyes flickered but kept returning to the person in front of her.
Gu Ran held the pan handle with one hand and the spatula with the other, continuously stir-frying.
It was such a simple and ordinary scene, yet it somehow made it hard for her to look away.
Why did it feel like this guy was a bit handsome?
It seemed like he had grown up...
Suddenly realizing this, Ye Zhenzhen quickly reached up and patted her cheeks.
What on earth was she thinking? How could she find her rebellious younger brother handsome?
He was absolutely annoying!
Although she thought this in her heart, her eyes staring at a certain someone never moved away.
And the smile on her lips was never retracted...
...
"Ye Zhenzhen!"
Lost in her thoughts, by the time she snapped back to reality, Gu Ran had already turned off the stove.
He was holding a plate of food, staring at her with a strange expression.
"Ah, wha... what is it?"
Hearing this, Gu Ran looked a bit weird, paused, and said, "The food is ready. Let's eat first, we can do it after..."
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
Was he saying weird things again?
But Gu Ran didn't give her a chance to ask further.
After speaking, he carried the dish past her toward the dining room, not forgetting to add one more sentence.
"Go get the bowls."
This guy...
Doing a little work and acting like a lord, bossing people around!
The aloof girl gritted her teeth, trying hard to suppress the urge to bite him, and turned to get the bowls and chopsticks.
She had to admit, he really did have the capital to mock her.
Sitting at the dining table, staring at the brightly colored stir-fried vegetables, Ye Zhenzhen nodded to herself.
Although it couldn't compare to her mom's cooking, for an eighteen-year-old student, it was already quite good.
At least... it left her in the dust by a country mile...
Oh, wait, he was nineteen this year.
Just as she was sighing a bit, Gu Ran pulled out the chair next to her and sat down right beside her.
"What?"
"I told you not to rush. I know you're eager, but hold your horses. Wait until after we eat... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Ran's face twisted into a mask of pain, and he immediately started hugging and rubbing his foot.
The girl beside him proudly raised her chin and said, "Stop saying weird things. One more time, and I'll slap your head sideways!"
After speaking, she noticed Gu Ran was still rubbing the toes she had just stomped on.
She couldn't help but purse her lips, her tone softening considerably.
Looking down at her stinky brother's foot, she asked, "Does it hurt that much?"
"It hurts so much. I need a kiss to make it better." Gu Ran grimaced in pain, yet still didn't forget to be cheeky.
But hearing his words, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes instantly widened.
What did this guy just say?
He wanted a kiss?!
His true colors were revealed so quickly?
The dagger is revealed! This is absolute treason!!!
She abruptly raised her head, just about to say something.
When she saw Gu Ran lift his foot, placing it right in front of her face, and saying self-righteously:
"Here, kiss it."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Sometimes in life, there are truly many speechless moments.
Like this very moment, where she had already thought of seventy-eight ways for the guy in front of her to die.
As well as eighteen ways to forge an alibi for herself.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!!!"
Her watery eyes widened instantly, staring at the foot in front of her. For a moment, she wished she could bite it off!
Smack!
She stood up abruptly, slamming her chopsticks onto the table.
This jerk... went too far!
He dared to tease his older sister?!
If she didn't teach him a lesson on how to behave today, he would turn the world upside down in the future!
"Wh... what are you doing?"
Seeing her furious appearance, Gu Ran awkwardly withdrew his foot and asked tentatively.
"I'll show you what!"
Ye Zhenzhen rolled up her sleeves, stuck out her lower lip, and blew away a few strands of loose hair that had fallen over her face.
"Didn't you tell me not to rush? Well, I insist on rushing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she tackled Gu Ran to the ground.
Raising her fair and tender arms, she aimed a punch right at Gu Ran's handsome dog face.
Gu Ran: "!!!"
Reflected in his pupils was that small fist.
Followed by a gust of wind from the punch, heading straight for his handsome face.
In that instant, only a single thought remained in his mind.
I am a dead man!
...
...
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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?
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."
