Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen
June 27th, the day the college entrance examination scores were released.
All the examinees had been looking forward to this day; no matter who they were, their hearts were filled with a sense of apprehension.
Basically, every student woke up early, counting down the minutes to check their scores.
However, the young girl today had no such thoughts; her mind was entirely occupied with the amusement park in the suburbs.
As for checking the scores...
The scores wouldn't run away. There would be plenty of time to check them after returning from the amusement park. Besides, college applications didn't start until tomorrow anyway.
But the chance to go to an amusement park was a first in her eighteen years of life.
It was a now or never kind of deal!
Before seven o'clock, the girl, full of anticipation, climbed out of bed and began to dress up and get ready.
While tying her hair, her eyes kept darting toward the stack of bills on her desk.
It hurt...
It was still that kind of heartache that made it hard to breathe.
She could almost see her precious money waving goodbye to her...
She had been saving this up for a long time.
With Gu Ran's defeat last night, the girl had won a one-day pass to the amusement park.
But as the older sister, she couldn't possibly spend her younger brother's money when going out.
Even if this brother was very rich...
Actually, right now, he probably wasn't as rich as she was.
Uncle Gu had cut off his allowance a few months ago.
His New Year's money wasn't much either, and this guy had always been a big spender.
Used to spending money like water, how much could he possibly have left?
Forget it, forget it. The great older sister would just have to bear the pain.
Clenching the stack of bills from the desk in her hand, she suppressed her reluctance and went next door.
She couldn't wait any longer; she had to hurry to the amusement park and buy the tickets.
Otherwise, with every passing second, she might regret it.
For a girl used to living frugally, spending over two hundred on tickets right now was absolutely agonizing!
With that thought, she changed into the dress Gu Ran had given her before. She twirled a few times in front of the mirror, the pink skirt revealing a faint touch of white.
Staring at herself in the mirror for a moment longer, she couldn't help but frown.
Reaching down, she took off her pure white cotton socks, revealing her small, fair, pinkish feet.
Curling her toes slightly, she slipped into white strappy sandals, tapped the heels on the floor, and clacked her way out the balcony door.
Upon reaching next door, her footsteps subconsciously slowed down.
Gently pushing the balcony door open, she tiptoed into her brother's room.
At this moment, Gu Ran was still curled up in bed, his head under the covers, enjoying his wet dream... sweet spring dream.
"Wake up, Lazybones, Lazybones!"
The girl called out to the person in bed while pulling open the curtains.
But the person immersed in dreamland merely grunted twice, pulled the covers over his head, and went completely still again.
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
This guy...
Curling her lips, she stepped forward and yanked the covers off.
Exposing her brother's head, she then reached out and pinched his straight nose.
"Wake up, Lazybones!"
Gu Ran slightly opened his eyes, looked at the pretty face thrust right in front of him, and closed his eyes again.
"Let me sleep a little longer, just a little while..."
"No way, we agreed to go to the amusement park today. If we don't go now, it'll get too crowded."
Seeing that he was about to fall back asleep, the girl quickly reached out and pressed his eyes.
Two slender fingers propped up his upper and lower eyelids respectively, forcefully prying his eyes open.
Gu Ran: "???"
What kind of decent person would do something like this?
Giving the girl in front of him a helpless look, he sighed.
"Mm... fine, fine..."
He was going to die of laziness...
Although the person was awake, his soul was still asleep.
Reaching out to tug at his arms and finding she couldn't lift him at all, the girl had no choice but to helplessly compromise.
She hopped off the bed, trotted to the bathroom, and came back with a wet towel to wipe his face.
A caring older sister was always this caring.
While wiping his face, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had the illusion of dealing with her Precious son.
But the next second, Gu Ran's roar pulled her back to reality.
"Ye Zhenzhen!"
Instantly wide awake, Gu Ran glared at the girl.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't back down at all; she puffed out her chest and raised her fair, delicate chin.
"Your grandpa is right here!"
Gu Ran: "..."
He felt like this sounded very familiar...
This girl... stole his line, didn't she?
Feeling a bit dazzled, the magnanimous brother decided not to stoop to his naughty sister's level.
He rolled out of bed and started washing up. Seeing him obediently comply,
Ye Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction and turned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her lazy brother.
About half an hour later, the neatly dressed siblings headed out together.
Braving the scorching sun, Gu Ran headed straight for the shade of the trees.
Walking backward with light steps, the girl rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
So fussy~
They got on the bus. There weren't many people heading to the suburban amusement park, so the bus was quite empty.
Ye Zhenzhen found a window seat, and Gu Ran naturally sat down next to her.
Feeling a walking little sun leaning close, the girl scooted to the side.
"Go sit over there, it's too hot."
"I won't..."
After saying that, he stared intently at the girl.
His unblinking gaze made her swallow the rest of her words.
"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look really pretty today."
Seeing the girl blush, Gu Ran smiled and narrowed his eyes.
This girl...
In order to look pretty for their outing, she specifically wore the dress she once thought was a waste of his money.
Tsk, what a duplicitous woman.
With that, he stopped looking at her reaction, turned his body, and closed his eyes to feign sleep.
Seeing him close his eyes, Ye Zhenzhen crinkled her nose and finally dared to wave her fist at him.
How dare he tease his older sister, she'd knock his head off!
They remained silent for the rest of the ride until the bus stopped at the suburban park station.
What met their eyes was a newly opened large-scale amusement park in Qinglin City.
Even though the girl had woken up early enough, it was already surging with crowds at this hour. The sounds of laughter and joy rose and fell inside, bustling with noise and excitement.
Seeing this scene, the girl's eyes lit up, sparkling with a bright gleam.
"Gu Ran, Gu Ran, let's go in quickly!"
Grabbing the hand of the boy beside her, she was like a cheerful little bird, excitedly trying to run forward.
"Are you a runaway wild horse?"
Pulled along to stumble a few steps, Gu Ran couldn't help but complain, immediately receiving a death glare from the girl.
Rolling her eyes at him with infinite charm, the girl turned her head away and ignored him.
She was in a good mood today, so she wouldn't stoop to her Stupid brother's level.
Arriving at the entrance, Gu Ran was just about to take out money for the tickets when he saw Ye Zhenzhen wave her small hand, slapping a few red bills onto the counter.
At the same time, she looked at the boy beside her and smugly raised her fair chin.
She had expected to hear words of praise, but who would have thought that a dog's mouth could never spit out ivory!
"Did you take out our living expenses to buy tickets?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
He really is a dog!
"What living expenses? This is clearly my secret stash!"
The girl cursed at him in a low voice, and still not satisfied, she raised her foot and kicked him a few times.
Today's style wasn't pure white; instead, it was a refreshing summer limited edition.
Her bright, fair ankles shone brilliantly, accentuated by the strappy sandals.
For that brief moment, Gu Ran felt as if he had seen the light...
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.
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
