Chapter 94
Exasperatedly dragging her increasingly lazy younger brother out of bed, the aloof girl forced Gu Ran to accompany her for a run.
It had to be said, Ye Zhenzhen was indeed an extremely self-disciplined person.
Originally, it was Gu Ran who had egged her on to start morning runs. But later, he grew lazy, while the aloof girl unexpectedly became addicted. Now, she simply couldn't go a morning without a run.
After dragging the sleepy-eyed youth for a few laps along the river, Ye Zhenzhen reached up to pat her flushed cheeks, unable to stop herself from shooting a disdainful glance at the guy beside her who was panting like a tired dog.
"Scrawny dog."
Parting her delicate lips, the girl softly spat out the insult.
Gu Ran: "???"
Where are your manners?
Even with his thick skin, he couldn't bear being despised by his physically underdeveloped older sister.
This girl was purely a brainiac; where did she get the courage to look down on him?
Learning from this bitter experience, he decided he would wake up early tomorrow and drag this arrogant girl out of bed.
He would show her his restored masculine glory!
...
Arriving at school, the youth who had just made his inner resolve immediately reverted to his usual lazy self.
Yawning, he headed to the back row of the classroom and sat in the hometown of kings.
Resting his chin on his hand, he didn't start studying right away. Instead, he looked out the window to cultivate his mood.
It was the season when all things came back to life. The branches by the roadside were gradually turning green; looking out the window would put anyone in a good mood for the rest of the day.
But today was an exception.
Just as the scenery outside appeared in his vision, his line of sight was blocked by a chubby face.
"Brother Ran, please teach me!"
As soon as Ye Jinliang saw him arrive, he quickly trotted over, a fawning smile on his face.
"Go away, you're blocking the view."
Gu Ran shot him an exasperated glare. Without changing his posture, he simply reached out with his free hand and shoved the giant face away.
The pushed-away little fatty looked full of resentment, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "You've changed."
Furthermore, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Gu Ran's expression just now bore a striking resemblance to Ye Zhenzhen's.
For a moment, he sniffed out something fishy...
But Gu Ran ignored him, not even sparing him a glance.
A true brotherhood was like a father-son relationship; there was absolutely no worry that such trivial matters would genuinely make him angry.
"What view are you looking at?"
Seeing him staring intently out the window and down below, Ye Jinliang muttered to himself before squeezing in to look outside as well.
Entering their sight were two youthful and beautiful girls on the sports field.
Neither was wearing a school uniform, and they were dressed very prettily. One look was enough to tell they were students from the art class.
With only a month left until the college entrance examination, the school's requirements for the senior students weren't very strict.
Especially for the art class students, the rules were even looser, basically leaving them in a free-range state. As a result, the female students in the art class had already started dressing up early, as if they had already entered college.
"Oh~ This scenery sure is beautiful!"
Staring at their slender and straight legs, the little fatty slightly narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and nudged Gu Ran with his elbow, revealing an expression that said, "Just as I expected of you."
Gu Ran: "???"
Why did he look so perverted?
What on earth made him show such a wretched smile?
Gu Ran was completely baffled for a moment. He silently moved his chair, distancing himself a bit from the pervert beside him.
For even a pervert like him to feel perverted, it was truly too perverted...
Ye Jinliang, unaware of his inner thoughts, was still happily gazing out the window. It wasn't until their figures disappeared from sight that he somewhat reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Then, remembering his actual business, he turned and excitedly grabbed the youth's arm, saying, "Brother Ran, teach me!"
Gu Ran: "..."
Having his arm grabbed by a pervert, he felt a layer of goosebumps instantly rise on his skin. He hurriedly pried off the chubby hand gripping his arm.
"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious just yet..."
After struggling to pry the hand away, he twitched his mouth, rubbed his arm, and asked speechlessly, "What is it this time... Let me say this first, I'm no Casanova. I can't teach you how to pick up girls."
Hearing this, Ye Jinliang looked as if he had been insulted. He instantly put on a serious face. "How could someone of my generation be such a vulgar person? Female beauty is nothing but a pink skeleton. When the country is not yet wealthy and powerful, the youth must strive for self-improvement!"
Gu Ran: "..."
You didn't seem to have this attitude when you were smiling pervertedly just a moment ago...
"Just tell me what's going on. What do you want to do?"
Feeling somewhat speechless, his foot itched, and he uncontrollably wanted to kick this guy's shin.
"I don't want to do anything to you."
Hearing this, Ye Jinliang hastily retreated a few steps, crossing his arms over his chest with a wary expression.
Gu Ran: "???"
Damn it, is murder illegal?!
Unable to stand this perverted damn fatty any longer, he aimed a kick right at the guy's calf.
With this kind of thought process, he would be a perfect match for Pei Susu, whose head was also full of dirty trash!
It was only because Ye Zhenzhen rarely kicked Gu Ran in front of outsiders; otherwise, Ye Jinliang would definitely have noticed that the way Gu Ran kicked him was incredibly similar to the aloof girl.
The two of them horsed around for a while. Just as they were about to get down to business, they heard a cold, delicate scolding coming from the open back door of the classroom.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran, who was in the middle of lifting his leg to kick the little fatty, immediately shrank his neck, feeling a wave of guilty conscience wash over him.
He quickly turned his head to look out the door, only to see Ye Zhenzhen and Pei Susu standing there.
The aloof older sister had a calm expression on her pretty face, but her eyes were filled with frost, and her willow-like eyebrows were slightly raised.
Beside her, the master Pei Susu, who was linking arms with her, arched her brows, waved gently, and smiled sweetly.
But her almond-shaped eyes harbored a gloating smile...
At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen wished she could charge in on horseback and beat her disappointing younger brother back into his seat to study properly.
He had just arrived at school, and this guy was already fooling around.
Without her keeping an eye on him, was this guy going to become completely lawless?!
If Pei Susu hadn't insisted on dragging her downstairs to the restroom, she wouldn't have known that Gu Ran's usual study state was like this.
During this precious morning reading time, how could he fool around with such a clear conscience?
Thinking of this, her cold eyes shot a light glance at Ye Jinliang.
There was no other expression on her indifferent face, but the little fatty, who had just been mocking Gu Ran for being strictly managed by his sister, hastily shrank his neck as well.
It was just like when you dragged a classmate to play instead of studying, and you ran into their parents—you would instinctively feel guilty.
Even though the parent didn't say anything and smiled normally, there was still a feeling of being blamed...
Ye Jinliang reached out his chubby hand and silently wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Ye Zhenzhen's gaze didn't linger on him for long. She merely glanced at him before staring straight at Gu Ran.
Noticing the commotion on their side, the classroom gradually quieted down, and everyone silently paid attention.
The boys and girls were divided into two extremes.
Most of the girls strangely started shipping them as a couple, while a minority of the girls felt somewhat disdainful and jealous.
But the boys were different; they were filled with one hundred percent jealousy and reluctance.
Why would the unattainable flower on the high peak call out to Gu Ran?
Even though she was scolding him, why did it sound like they were flirting?
What exactly did a guy like Gu Ran do to deserve this?
Did he save the galaxy in his past life?!
They all desperately wanted to be scolded by the aloof beauty too!
Especially since Ye Zhenzhen was currently wearing those silver-framed glasses, making her look pure while exuding a mature, older-sister allure.
Coupled with her aloof beauty buff, that indifferent yet pretty face looked both innocent and seductive...
Sensing the shift in the surrounding classmates' emotions, Gu Ran's mouth twitched.
You guys think she's an aloof beauty?
No, this is my older sister, and she's here specifically to keep tabs on me...
Staring at the expressionless girl, he gave an awkward smile, but she gave him the cold shoulder completely.
Having no other choice, Gu Ran settled for the next best thing and turned to smile at Pei Susu, who was secretly giggling.
If he had known that Ye Zhenzhen, who was supposed to be on the third floor, only came down to the second-floor restroom because she was egged on by this little loli, who knows if he would still be able to smile...
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.

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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...
