Chapter 86
He knew he should have stayed away from Pei Susu.
See? Now trouble had come knocking.
Gu Ran shook his head helplessly. Without saying a word, he bent down to change his shoes before entering the house.
Seeing him stay silent, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and stretched out her foot to lightly tap his calf.
"Why are you ignoring me, brother? You didn't have this attitude when you were facing someone else just now."
Gu Ran: "..."
He opened his mouth but was momentarily at a loss for words. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he ultimately decided against saying much—forget it, her mood swings had been huge these past few days, so he wouldn't hold it against her.
Seeing him remain silent, the young girl furrowed her brows, her cheeks unconsciously puffing out a little.
"Annoying jerk!"
Muttering under her breath, she hooked her toe and kicked his neatly placed slippers askew. Then, lifting her delicate chin, she turned around and walked inside.
Gu Ran: "?"
What did he even do to be called annoying?
But remembering that she hadn't been feeling well recently, Gu Ran swallowed his words, silently put on his slippers, and followed her.
Bang!
The moment her front foot stepped into the room, she slammed the door shut right behind her.
Gu Ran, who was almost hit by the door, stopped in his tracks just in time. Staring at the tightly closed door in front of him, he felt even more baffled.
Her temper today... seems exceptionally bad?
He blinked, then turned around and went back to his own room.
At dinnertime, urged by Ye Shulian, Ye Zhenzhen reluctantly walked over to Gu Ran's door and reached out to knock.
With a click, the door opened a crack. Gu Ran poked his head out, his expression a bit unnatural: "What's wrong?"
"Time to eat."
She shot him a glance and turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. Looking back, a trace of inquiry appeared in her clear eyes.
"What were you doing in your room just now? Being all sneaky."
"Who's being sneaky?" Gu Ran immediately retorted. He straightened his back, trying his best to look righteous and confident.
Ye Zhenzhen, however, leaned in slightly, her nose twitching like a wary kitten.
"You're acting weird."
"How am I acting weird?" Gu Ran tried to change the subject, but his eyes darted away for a second.
The girl keenly caught the subtle panic in his expression, and her curiosity to catch him red-handed grew even stronger.
She lightly stepped on the top of his foot and lowered her voice: "Spit it out, what were you doing just now?"
"Just reading a book..." Gu Ran said, simultaneously hiding his hand behind his back.
This movement was caught by Ye Zhenzhen. She immediately reached out and grabbed his arm: "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Nothing..." Gu Ran tried to dodge, but she had already slipped behind him.
The next second, she clearly saw what he was holding, and her cheeks instantly flushed bright red.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
Biting her lip, her voice was full of embarrassment and anger, "Why are you holding this?"
Being caught red-handed, even with his thick skin, he felt quite embarrassed.
The tips of Gu Ran's ears also grew hot, but he still tried to explain: "I was just... just looking. I really didn't do anything else."
"What is there to look at!" She was both embarrassed and furious. She stomped lightly on his foot again. "Give it back to me!"
Gu Ran quickly stuffed the item into his pocket, turned around, and walked toward the living room: "Didn't Auntie call us for dinner? Let's go, let's go."
"Stop right there!" Ye Zhenzhen chased after him with a flushed face, her fingertips tugging at the hem of his shirt. "Take it out!"
"Let's eat first, we'll talk after dinner." Gu Ran quickened his pace, simply refusing to hand the item over.
"So annoying!" she complained softly. The heat on her face hadn't faded, but she still followed him toward the dining room.
This dog, does he just grab whatever he wants all day?
Doesn't he know what things are too hot to handle?!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

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?! ...

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.

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.
