Chapter 115
After dinner, Gu Ran collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move a single muscle.
After washing the dishes, the young woman paced around the living room, looking here and there, occasionally passing right in front of him.
Who knew how long she wandered about, but the person lying on the sofa just kept his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep without saying a word.
Turning her head to glance at Gu Ran's lazy appearance, she pursed her lips. She wanted to storm back to her room in a huff, but she just couldn't swallow her frustration.
Stupid dog!
He had sneaked out to play all afternoon, leaving his older sister at home to do all the chores.
She cleaned his room and washed his clothes, and he didn't even have a single word of appreciation?
Heartless dog...
"Lazy dog! Lazy dog!"
After staring at Gu Ran for a long time and seeing that the guy was about to fall asleep, the usually aloof girl could no longer hold back and kicked him twice with her foot.
Feeling the assault of her cotton socks, Gu Ran immediately sat up straight on the sofa.
He had to admit, that touch...
One kick to refresh the mind, two kicks to enchant the soul!
"Who are you calling a lazy dog?"
He raised his eyebrows and asked back, his eyes still a bit heavy with sleep.
"Bah, you're the lazy dog! A massive lazy dog!"
Realizing the trap in his words, Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him and immediately kicked him again.
Gu Ran shivered, feeling completely satisfied.
'Soul enchanted' achievement unlocked.
"What does the lazy dog want to do?"
Propping his chin on his hand, he raised an eyebrow and asked.
Always feeling like his gaze was teasing her, Ye Zhenzhen blushed and spat out a "Bah!"
"You're the lazy dog, call me sister!"
"Plus, you shouldn't lie down right after eating. Come on, let's go out for a walk."
The young woman continued, her face flushed.
This guy went out to have fun today, but she hadn't even stepped out of the house yet.
"A walk..."
Gu Ran turned to look out the window. It was getting late, and he really didn't want to move.
He had taken quite a few steps today; he couldn't walk anymore, or his knees might accumulate fluid.
Seeing that he wanted to continue lazing around, she directly pulled him up.
"Let's go, let's go..."
Gu Ran: "..."
Sigh, he really couldn't do anything about her.
He just had to spoil her...
...
As night fell and the evening lights were lit, the streetlamps on both sides of the road lit up one after another.
The dim yellow light spilled onto the ground, reflecting mottled shadows and elongating the silhouettes of the two of them.
There were few pedestrians on the street, making it seem exceptionally peaceful.
Gu Ran followed silently behind Ye Zhenzhen, his gaze constantly fixed on her back.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, gently swaying in the breeze.
The dancing strands of hair looked like a beautiful painting.
"Gu Ran, hurry up!"
Seeing her lazy younger brother trailing far behind, the young woman scrunched her nose and called back to him.
"Relax, relax, I really can't walk fast. I walked too much today, my knees hurt if I go too fast..."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Lazy dog.
She shot him a glare from afar, seeing that he really refused to speed up.
Helpless, she had no choice but to put her hands behind her back and continue walking at her own pace.
The evening breeze blew gently...
With her small hands behind her back and her head held high, she carefully felt the wind blowing against her face.
Although her pace had slowed, it remained light and graceful.
"Gu Ran, look, look! There's a little yellow flower over there..."
Following her finger, Gu Ran saw a splash of yellow leaping out from the sea of green deep by the roadside.
"Gu Ran, there's a little white flower here too..."
"Come quickly and look! Here, here! There's a clover..."
Watching the excited young woman, Gu Ran kept a smile on his lips, his eyes full of tenderness.
Having seen the vastness of the world, she was still willing to share the tiny joys of life with him.
Gu Ran's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but think of that saying.
Liking someone means wanting to share your life with them.
Like when the sky is filled with swirling snow, you want to take a picture for them;
When you hear a good song, you want to sing it to them;
When you feel excited, you hope someone understands without you even having to say it.
Liking someone means wanting to share every beautiful thing you see with them.
Later, when the corridors are dyed by the dusk, when winter is awakened by heavy snow, when longing is collected by songs, yet you can't find anyone to share it with.
Saying goodbye means that even when you see all the beautiful things, you will never speak of them to that person again...
Looking up at the dim streetlights, his eyes were filled with a smile.
He would definitely hold tightly onto the girl in front of him, never say goodbye, and always let her share everything, big and small, with him...
...
"Hey beautiful, can I get your QQ number?"
A single sentence pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Following the voice, he saw a young man wearing a sports outfit and a headset standing in front of the pretty girl, asking with a gentle smile.
Gu Ran: "???"
Where did this guy pop out from?
Was he dead?
Couldn't he see him standing right there?
Just waltzing up wide-eyed to hit on her?!
Trying to steal his girl right to his face?
He completely ignored his existence!!!
Stepping forward twice without leaving a trace, he stood behind Ye Zhenzhen.
Although he remained silent, he slightly narrowed his eyes.
Staring quietly at the guy in front of him, the meaning was self-evident.
At this moment, the guy also noticed his presence.
However, he just gave a disdainful smile, reaching out to stroke his sweat-soaked hair, showing off his surging hormones.
He hadn't expected that coming out for a run tonight would lead him to encounter such a top-tier beauty.
It's just that...
The guy next to her looked like her boyfriend, but so what?
What kind of girl could he, Qin Zhaoyang, not win over?
Girls with boyfriends are even easier to pursue, because there's only one opponent!
Thinking this, he adjusted the comma-shaped bangs on his forehead again, completely radiating a flirtatious vibe.
Crack~
Hearing the sound of a fist clenching behind her, Ye Zhenzhen laughed secretly in her heart.
Stepping back half a pace, her back leaned against Gu Ran. She reached out to press down on her restless younger brother.
Putting on her aloof expression, Ye Zhenzhen said unsmilingly.
"Sorry, I don't have a QQ number."
Qin Zhaoyang: "..."
Hearing this, he furrowed his brows slightly.
He took a deep look at Gu Ran behind the girl, and seeing this, the latter felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.
Seeing this petty guy looking so smug, Qin Zhaoyang wanted to just turn and leave.
But sweeping his gaze over Ye Zhenzhen's exquisite face, he found his legs glued to the ground.
Whatever, he'd give her one more chance...
"Then... how about leaving me a phone number?"
As he spoke, he kept the warm smile on his face.
"I've never used a phone, I don't have a number."
Her second expressionless rejection completely darkened Qin Zhaoyang's face.
Refusing a face-saving offer?
A trace of anger flashed through his eyes, but he didn't lash out.
His gentle smile grew even wider as he nodded and said softly.
"I was too abrupt."
After saying that, he nodded, preparing to continue running forward, but an arm suddenly blocked his path.
He turned his head in confusion to look at Gu Ran, who stared at him for a moment.
Suddenly, Gu Ran broke into a grin, revealing clean, white canine teeth.
"It's dark and the road is slippery, be careful. Don't trip in the gutter and break your leg."
"Heh, thanks for the good intentions, but I don't need you worrying about me."
Qin Zhaoyang smiled as well, though his smile was mixed with a bit of anger.
He reached out to push aside the blocking arm, but it didn't budge. He turned his head to look over darkly.
"Bro, what's the meaning of this?"
Gu Ran continued to grin widely.
"No special meaning, it's just that I have a kind heart and can't bear to see people get hurt.
We just walked down the road ahead, and it's slippery. You should run back the way you came."
Qin Zhaoyang: "???"
This was simply going too far!
He reached out and pushed with all his might, but he still couldn't pry away the arm blocking his path.
Qin Zhaoyang: "..."
Was this guy an ox?
Where did he get all this brute strength?!
How completely uncivilized!
He gave Gu Ran one last, deep look, then turned around and ran back the way he came.
Watching his retreating figure, Gu Ran enthusiastically waved.
"Take it easy, bro! Be careful not to break a leg! A broken leg is a real pain to fix!"
Qin Zhaoyang stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face.
Cursing his rotten luck under his breath, he quickened his pace...
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.”
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

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.
