Your mouth is quite tough too, huh.

"Let's head back," Su Yang said with a grin.

"Bro, are these... all of them?" The young man scanned the other four girls with an incredulous look on his face.

Su Yang nodded. "Yep, every single one."

"Holy crap!"

Seeing that Meng Qianyu, whose hand Su Yang was holding, wasn't resisting and even wore a smug expression, the guy began to believe Su Yang's words a little.

"You're sure all five of them are?"

"That's right," Su Yang confirmed.

"Damn, you... Bro, can I get your WeChat? I won't add the 'sisters-in-law,' but can I add you, bro?"

Su Yang pulled Meng Qianyu a couple of steps to the right, looking at the smiling guy with caution. "I'm not interested in men."

"Bro, what are you talking about? I'm not interested in men either. Can't we just be friends?"

"Heh, actually, I want to learn from you."

"Learn what?"

"You know what I mean." The guy leaned closer to Su Yang, winking and wiggling five fingers.

Su Yang glanced at him and laughed. "That's a talent, born with it. Can't be learned. Mainly because I don't know how to teach it."

"I can pay to learn! Name your price."

"You should've said so earlier. If it's about money, I might be able to figure out a way to teach you. But... it'll cost this much." Su Yang also wiggled five fingers in front of the guy's face.

The guy frowned slightly, testing the waters. "Fifty thousand?"

Su Yang smiled faintly. "Five million."

"Deal." The guy agreed instantly, but as soon as the word 'deal' left his mouth, he immediately shut it and widened his eyes at Su Yang.

"Wait!! How much did you say?"

"Five million. Per lesson."

"..."

"Bro, big bro, you're robbing me! Do I look like someone who has five million?"

"Not a penny less," Su Yang said, spreading his hands.

...

After a bit more idle chatter, the guy turned and left with a bitter look on his face.

Once he was gone, Su Yang let go of Meng Qianyu's hand.

"Brother Su Yang? What were you guys talking about earlier? What did you mean by 'five' and 'all of them'?"

Su Yang chuckled. "You wouldn't understand. It's called code."

"Code?"

"Right. You'll understand someday. Let's go."

"Oh, okay."

As they talked, everyone got back into their cars and continued driving towards the snow mountain scenic area.

The remaining distance was only about five or six kilometers, not far at all, and they soon arrived at the parking lot near the scenic area entrance.

After parking the cars, all eleven of them got out.

Once at the foot of the mountain, they could already clearly feel the temperature had dropped significantly.

It would get even colder going up the mountain, but there were many places outside the tourist center renting out padded jackets.

Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou took the others to a rental shop, got a down jacket for everyone, and then bought eleven bottles of oxygen.

The others had all insisted they didn't need it, but to prevent altitude sickness after ascending, Su Yang insisted on buying a bottle for each person.

Whether they used it or not was one thing, but in case something really happened, they could take a couple of puffs to ease the symptoms.

He bought one for himself too, but it was more like a backup for the others.

With his current physical fitness, even if he were left at the summit of Mount Everest with nothing, he'd be fine.

Let alone Yu Long Snow Mountain, which was only four or five thousand meters high.

After everyone put on their jackets and grabbed their oxygen canisters, they headed towards the entrance of the tourist center.

Soon, they reached the Glacier Park Cable Car waiting hall and boarded a shuttle bus. About 15 minutes later, they arrived at the cable car's starting station.

Although it wasn't the peak tourist season for Yu Long Snow Mountain, there was still quite a long queue.

They followed the winding line for about thirty minutes before finally reaching the cable car boarding point.

Zhang Ziming had already purchased the entrance tickets and cable car tickets on his phone beforehand. He had bought tickets for the large cable car.

Yu Long Snow Mountain's cable car system is divided into large, medium, and small routes, each with different starting and ending points.

To reach the observation deck at the highest peak, you must take the large cable car, which was their goal for this trip.

The large cable car is nearly 3000 meters long, ending at Glacier Park at an altitude of 4507 meters. After getting off the cable car, you can hike to the highest observation deck at 4680 meters.

Each cabin of the large cable car can accommodate six to eight people.

When assigning cabins, the five girls immediately chose to ride in the same cabin as Su Yang without a second thought.

The remaining five guys, grinning and bearing it, got into another cabin.

Soon, the two groups settled into their cable cars and began the rapid ascent up the mountain.

As they climbed higher and higher, Meng Qianyu began to feel a bit restless.

She grabbed Su Yang, who was sitting beside her, and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Yang smiled. "What's wrong? Scared?"

"Who's scared? My eyes just suddenly felt a bit sore, needed to close them for a bit."

"Stubborn." Su Yang then looked at the other girls and asked, "Are any of you feeling unwell?"

They all shook their heads. "No~"

"That's good. When we get to the 4500-meter spot later, walk a bit slower, or you might get out of breath easily."

"My body is very strong," Tang Ziyun said with a laugh.

"I'm not worried about you, mainly Xiao Su and Qianyu."

Hearing this, Su Qingci retorted, "My body is very good too. I definitely won't get altitude sickness."

"Don't be stubborn, all of you. You'll see how you feel once we're up there. Of course, it's best if no one gets altitude sickness."

As they chatted, the cable car finally arrived at its destination at 4507 meters above sea level after more than twenty minutes.

Upon arrival, staff outside quickly opened the door, and they all stepped off the cable car.

After waiting for about two minutes, Meng Wenzhou and the other four also reached the end point.

Liu Bo took a deep breath and looked at the others. "How do you all feel? Not out of breath, are you?"

Zhang Ziming said disdainfully, "It's not that high. If I were out of breath already, my body would really be hopeless."

"Haha, you're the one I was most worried about. Your physical fitness is worse than the ladies'."

"Who says? Don't spread rumors! Watch!" To prove his excellent physical fitness, Zhang Ziming turned and quickly ran off towards the exit.

Seeing this, Su Yang immediately shouted, "Don't run!"

But his warning came too late. Zhang Ziming disappeared around the corner in a few strides.

They all smiled wryly and quickly followed.

Exiting the cable car terminal, they came to a broad platform with many shops, small restaurants, and stalls selling oxygen bottles.

Standing at the edge of the platform, they could look down at the magnificent scenery of distant mountains and valleys. Turning to look behind them, they saw the stairs leading to the highest point.

Zhang Ziming was now sitting alone on a bench, frantically sucking on his oxygen.

Liu Bo walked up to him with a grin. "Hey? Didn't you say your physical fitness was excellent? Why are you sucking on that already?"

Zhang Ziming glared at Liu Bo. "Since I bought it, it'd be a waste not to use it. I'm just testing it out in advance."

"You're pretty stubborn too~"

While Zhang Ziming was using his oxygen, the others took photos on the platform.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered at the foot of the stairs leading to the highest point.

At this moment, many tourists were slowly making their way up the stairs towards the highest point, most of them dressed in down jackets, overcoats, or padded coats.

Quite a few people had to stop every twenty or thirty steps to take a couple of breaths from their oxygen canisters.

Seeing this, Su Yang turned to the others and said, "The altitude here is still quite significant. When we go up later, walk slowly and keep your heart rate steady. If you feel out of breath, stop and rest. Try to avoid using the oxygen if possible, only use it when you really feel like you can't catch your breath."

"Okay," the others nodded in agreement.

Su Yang added, "Let's walk up and down here a few times to acclimatize a bit more."

"Ok!"

Liu Bo then looked at Su Yang with a smile, "Brother Yang, how about a little competition between the two of us?"

"What kind of competition?"

"See who can reach the highest platform first~"

Su Yang looked up at the 4680-meter-high platform and gave a faint smile, "Are you sure you want to compete?"

"Just for fun. They need to acclimatize, but the two of us don't~"

"Alright then, let's do it."

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government.

As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues.

Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
