After all the passengers had boarded, the plane slowly taxied away from the terminal, and the cabin began broadcasting the standard flight procedures.
The plane took off shortly after.
Su Yang opened the window shade and watched as the plane gradually ascended, feeling incredibly excited.
‘Wow, this is something else. What a surreal feeling.’
[Ding! Detected host’s first time flying. Emotional excitement detected. Reward: 800,000 yuan.]
—System, if the plane crashes, do you have any protective measures for me?
[No.]
Su Yang: "......"
—What if I die in a crash?
[System termination.]
—Alright, alright. What a great system.
Su Yang chuckled helplessly, though he had only asked casually.
The probability of a plane crash was still very low—it was just that most first-time flyers couldn’t help but think about it.
The plane soon reached an altitude of over 10,000 meters. Just then, the flight attendant from earlier approached Su Yang with a cup of iced Americano.
"Sir, your iced Americano."
"Thank you."
"You’re welcome. If you need anything, just press the call button above you."
"Got it, thanks."
"My pleasure~"
The flight attendant smiled and turned away.
Pan Ning was seated to Su Yang’s left, but she had been wearing an eye mask and sleeping since takeoff.
The others were also resting with headphones on, leaving Su Yang as the only one buzzing with excitement—after all, this was his first time.
He leaned against the window, watching the sunset outside as the clouds rushed past beneath them.
Su Yang kept staring for a solid two hours.
As the sky grew dim and darkness enveloped the outside world, the plane safely landed at Lucheng Airport.
The moment he stepped off the plane, an intense wave of heat hit him.
Su Yang instantly felt like he couldn’t breathe.
"Damn, why is it so hot?"
"Yeah, that’s just how Lucheng is. We probably picked the wrong time to come—should’ve avoided summer," Liu Bo remarked.
Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "Blame your dear Brother Meng for dragging us here."
Hearing this, Meng Wenzhou grinned. "Relax, I booked a really comfortable hotel. You’ll feel better once we get there."
After exiting the airport, the group followed the hotel’s arranged driver to their car—a Toyota Alphard MPV worth over a million yuan.
With the driver included, it could seat exactly seven people.
After a forty-minute drive from Lucheng Airport, they arrived at the five-star Lucheng Marriott Hotel.
The hotel was located very close to the beach, with an elegant ambiance.
As Su Yang walked, he glanced toward the sea, though by now it was completely dark, with only scattered dots of light visible on the water.
Meng Wenzhou had booked ocean-view suites for everyone, each priced at [price per night].
Upon entering the hotel lobby, Meng Wenzhou suddenly turned to the group and said, "I booked four ocean-view suites. That alright?"
"Sure, sure. If it’s free, even a standard room would’ve been fine, haha," Zhang Ziming joked from the side.
Hearing this, Su Yang looked at the group and thought, ‘Six people, four rooms?’
He couldn’t help but ask, "Hey, Lao Meng, why only four rooms?"
Meng Wenzhou smiled. "They only had four ocean-view suites left. But it works out, right? What’s the issue?"
"Works out... huh?"
No matter how Su Yang calculated, it didn’t add up.
Meng Wenzhou patiently explained, "Look, I take one, Fatty takes one, Ziming and Yixue—being a couple—share one, and you and my sister take one. What’s the problem?"
"Works out... wait, WHAT?!" Su Yang froze, his face practically covered in question marks.
Out of all possibilities, he never expected Meng Wenzhou to arrange things this way. Though he was more than willing, it still caught him off guard.
Pan Ning, standing nearby, was also speechless but kept her composure. "On what basis are you pairing us together in one room?"
Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo exchanged a glance and snickered. "Aren’t you two a couple?"
"......"
Su Yang nearly stumbled hearing this. ‘Damn, how did they even get the idea that Pan Ning and I are together?’
Noticing his reaction, Meng Wenzhou feigned innocence. "Oh, if I misunderstood, I can cancel and book two separate rooms for you. But one of you won’t get an ocean-view room then."
Pan Ning shot him an exasperated look. "Forget it. Let’s just go with this. So annoying."
Su Yang glanced at Pan Ning. Since she’d agreed, he certainly wasn’t going to refuse.
Only an idiot would turn down such a golden opportunity.
Besides, he’d just acquired the "Alcohol Master" skill. Sharing a room, having a few drinks at night—his lips curled into a grin at the thought.
Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo exchanged another sly smile.
Meng Wenzhou knew Pan Ning’s personality well. The moment she’d called them to join Su Yang for drinks at the nightclub, he’d sensed something was off.
Then, when she added Su Yang to their group chat for the camping trip, he was certain there was something between them.
From his understanding, Pan Ning wouldn’t get this close to someone unless she liked them.
Plus, Meng Wenzhou himself had a good impression of Su Yang—in his eyes, Su Yang was more than worthy of Pan Ning.
So this time, he’d decided to play matchmaker. Truthfully, the hotel wasn’t down to just four ocean-view rooms.
This wasn’t peak season, and vacancies were plentiful.
But only he and Liu Bo knew that.
After checking in at the front desk, the group took their key cards and headed to their rooms.
Meng Wenzhou suggested, "Let’s drop off our luggage and rest for a bit. Then we can grab some drinks later. I have a friend who owns a bar here in Lucheng."
"Great, sounds perfect," Zhang Ziming chimed in enthusiastically.
Shen Yixue nodded. "Sure~"
With no objections, everyone dispersed to their rooms.
Su Yang and Pan Ning entered their suite—a spacious ocean-view room with a living area, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The living room opened to a large balcony overlooking the sea.
Below, the hotel’s lush greenery, lawn, and a sizable swimming pool were barely visible in the darkness.
Su Yang tossed his bag onto the sofa. "Which room do you want?"
"Doesn’t matter. They’re the same anyway."
"Ah, what a shame," Su Yang remarked, scanning the room.
"What’s the shame?" Pan Ning asked while setting down her bag.
"Shame there are two rooms," Su Yang grinned.
Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "If there was only one, you’d be sleeping on the couch."
Su Yang laughed. "By the way, does your drinking rule still stand?"
"Of course. I keep my word."
"Good." Satisfied with her answer, Su Yang picked up his bag and casually chose a bedroom to enter.

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.
