Pan Ning's sudden transformation left Su Yang a bit dumbfounded. Was this still the aloof goddess he knew?
"Haha, good, good, good. You must be Xiao Pan. Come on, hurry inside. No need to change your shoes, just come right in," Su Dagang happily greeted Pan Ning at the door.
"Okay~" Pan Ning revealed eight neat, white teeth, the corners of her mouth turned up, looking exceptionally lively and cute.
Su Yang stood at the door in a daze, his eyes wide open.
After Pan Ning went inside, Su Dagang finally noticed Su Yang still standing at the door. "What are you spacing out for, boy? Come in!"
"Oh, oh, coming, coming." Su Yang frowned slightly, staring at Pan Ning not far away.
'What's going on?'
"Uncle, where is Auntie?" Pan Ning asked with a smile.
"Oh right, your aunt seems to be in the kitchen." Su Dagang turned to look towards the kitchen and shouted, "Liping! Yangyang and the others are back, what are you doing, hurry and come out!"
"Eh!! Coming!" Chen Liping's voice came from the kitchen, and then she jogged out quickly while wiping her hands.
Upon seeing the tall girl standing in the living room, her eyes widened instantly, and she came up to greet her with a wide, irrepressible smile.
"You must be Xiao Pan!"
"That's right, hello Auntie~" Pan Ning walked up obediently and smiled.
Chen Liping had wanted to hold Pan Ning's hand, but then noticed she was carrying several bags.
"What's this?"
"Oh, right, Uncle and Auntie, these are some small gifts I brought for you. I hope you like them~"
"Oh my, you didn't have to bring anything when you came over~ Really now."
"It's only right~"
"Come on, come on, don't just stand there, come sit on the sofa. Yangyang, go to the kitchen and bring out the fruit, I just washed them."
"Oh, oh, okay." Su Yang was still looking at Pan Ning at this moment; she hadn't stopped smiling since she walked through the door.
He could guarantee that this was the most she had smiled since he'd known her, and also the most she had spoken. It was as if she had become a completely different person.
While Su Yang went to the kitchen to get the fruit, Chen Liping held Pan Ning's hands and smiled. "Xiao Pan, you are so beautiful. My son is truly blessed~"
"You flatter me, Auntie. I just look ordinary."
"If this is ordinary? I've never seen such a beautiful girl."
Su Yang then walked over carrying washed cherries, grapes, and other fruits, placing them on the coffee table.
"Oh, right, Pan, let me introduce you. This is my dad, this is my mom~" Su Yang looked at Su Dagang and Chen Liping as he spoke.
Hearing this, Pan Ning pursed her lips, fighting back her inner speechlessness, and smiled, "Couldn't I tell that already~"
"What are you saying, you silly boy?" Chen Liping rolled her eyes at Su Yang.
Su Dagang next to them laughed heartily. "You look a bit nervous, boy."
"What would I be nervous about?" Su Yang scratched his head.
"Is that how you introduce people? Let me do it. Xiao Pan, I am Yangyang's father, Su Dagang, you can call me Uncle Gang. This is his mother, surnamed Chen, Chen Liping. You can call her Aunt Chen or Auntie."
"Okay~ Uncle and Auntie, my name is Pan Ning. You can call me Xiao Pan or Pan Pan."
After Pan Ning finished speaking, the corners of her mouth turned up. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons. She was very sweet, an absolute Mori-style sweet girl.
"Alright, oh my, this is great." Su Dagang didn't know what to say for a moment. He turned to look at the two of them and continued, "Yangyang, you are truly blessed to meet such a beautiful and sensible girl."
"Isn't that right~" Su Yang picked up a cherry and fed it into Pan Ning's mouth right in front of the old couple.
Watching this made the couple smile from ear to ear.
"These two look so much like a married couple," Su Dagang said while laughing.
He thought for a moment and added, "Yangyang, how long have you two known each other?"
"A few months, I guess."
"Oh, oh, that's fine, that's fine." He said as he stood up, "Xiao Pan, you guys sit down, I'll go make some tea."
"Don't trouble yourself, Uncle Gang, we can just sit and chat~"
"Eh, what trouble is it? You guys sit." Su Dagang turned around with a smile to make tea.
Chen Liping, meanwhile, continued chatting with Pan Ning. "Xiao Pan, you have a really good personality. This boy told me before that you were introverted. How are you introverted? Such a great personality."
"Auntie, don't listen to him, I have a very cheerful personality~"
"Right? Haha, this boy lies to me all day."
Su Yang, sitting on the side, was completely dumbfounded. He thought to himself: 'Okay, okay, okay, after all this, I'm the clown. I was worrying for nothing.'
'But when Pan Pan acts sweet, she feels even cuter than Qianyu. This contrast, hehe, not bad, not bad.' Su Yang stared at Pan Ning with a goofy smile.
Pan Ning secretly rolled her eyes at Su Yang.
Soon, Su Dagang finished making the tea. He walked over with the teapot and poured it for everyone.
The four of them sat on the sofa chatting for a while, and then Pan Ning stood up and asked, "Uncle, Auntie, could you please tell me where the restroom is?"
"Over there, walk down and it's the first door on the left."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie~"
"Oh my, Xiao Pan, don't be so polite~"
"Alright, you guys sit for a bit, I'm going to the restroom~"
"Okay, go ahead."
While Pan Ning went to the restroom, Su Dagang looked at Su Yang and smiled. "You're doing well, boy, this Xiao Pan is really nice."
"Of course, she's from a prominent family, so she handles all aspects of social etiquette very well."
"How old is she?"
"The same year as me, one month younger."
"Oh, oh, not bad, the age is suitable too. Oh my, I'm already looking forward to holding a grandchild," Su Dagang said, leaning back on the sofa with a beaming smile.
Su Yang said helplessly, "There's no rush for that~"
"Oh right, Pan Pan bought these things for you. Here, Dad, the watch and ginseng she bought for you, and this is the jade bracelet and bird's nest for Mom~"
The two looked at them and exclaimed in surprise, "These must be very expensive, right?"
Su Yang smiled, "Not too expensive, this watch was over a hundred, and this bracelet was also over a hundred."
"Million?"
"Mm-hmm~"
"Hiss~" Hearing this, Su Dagang and Chen Liping took a deep breath.
"How could you let her spend so much money?!" Chen Liping glared at Su Yang.
Su Yang said innocently, "This has nothing to do with me. She bought it herself, I only found out a few hours ago too."
"Oh my, this child, even if she has money, she shouldn't spend it so extravagantly."
"It's fine, just accept them~"
As they were speaking, Pan Ning walked back and sat down.
Chen Liping held her hand and said, "Xiao Pan, Yangyang told us about the things you bought. It's too extravagant, how could we possibly feel comfortable accepting such expensive gifts."
"Auntie, don't be so polite. I'm Su Yang's girlfriend, aren't we a family~"
"Between family, there's no such thing as being too extravagant, right, Uncle Gang?"
Hearing this, the old couple was momentarily left speechless, only feeling that this girl was truly eloquent and sensible.
Both of their faces were filled with expressions of gratification and affection.
"Good, good, good, let's not talk about that anymore, let's just chat~"
The few of them chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the time had reached 3:30 in the afternoon.
Chen Liping glanced at the time and said, Oh my, it is already half past three. I need to go prepare the food. We have a lot of dishes today, so I have to start early. She stood up and looked at Su Dagang. Old Su, do not just sit there. Come help us out.
Su Dagang smiled. Alright.
Seeing this, Pan Ning quickly put down the grapes in her hand and stood up. Aunt Chen, let me help you out.
Eh? What are you helping with? It is your first time here, how can I let you help? Just sit and chat with Yangyang, we will handle it. Chen Liping gently pushed Pan Ning back down into her seat.
Pan Ning smiled and stood up again. Auntie, please let me help. I have been sitting for a long time, I should move around a bit.
No, no, that makes no sense. Making you work on your first visit, I would feel terrible.
It is fine, Auntie. Pan Ning held Chen Liping's hand, pleading affectionately in a rare display of coquettishness.
Su Yang, who was drinking tea, almost choked.
Pan, just sit down. I will go help, Su Yang said.
No, I have to help Auntie out.
Under Pan Ning's continuous affectionate pleading, Chen Liping had no choice but to compromise.
She gave Pan Ning a doting look, and then the two of them walked toward the kitchen together.
After they left, Su Dagang tilted his head, glanced over, and whispered, Yang, where did you find such a treasure of a girl?
What do you think, Dad? Are you satisfied?
Am I satisfied? How many young girls nowadays are this sensible and can chat so effortlessly with the older generation? Try finding another one like her and show me.
Find another one? Su Yang grinned.
No, do not twist my words, kid. Is that what I meant? Anyway, no matter what, I am extremely satisfied. This girl is really great. The more I look at her, the more I like her. You are a lucky kid.
Hehe, as long as you like her. Before coming here, I was worried you guys would not have much to talk about.
Are you not worrying over nothing? To put it bluntly, even if you brought back a girl who did not like to talk and had a bad temper today, we would not say much. After all, you young people live your own lives. As long as you like each other and can get along well, that is all that matters.
Of course, I never expected someone like Xiao Pan. Smart, sensible, virtuous, decent, generous, well-spoken, and very polite. Oh, anyway, she is just wonderful.
Su Dagang said this while drinking his tea, a constant smile on his face as he nodded continuously. It was obvious he genuinely liked her.
Su Yang also smiled foolishly along with him, but he suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Dagang. Right, Dad, let us put Pan Pan aside for a moment. There is something I want to discuss with you guys.
What is it? Just say it.
I want you guys to move to Haicheng.

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.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
