Seeing Su Yang come out, Chen Yuxi immediately pulled Lin Chuxia up and whispered, "Act like nothing happened, or I'll die of embarrassment!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm great at acting." Lin Chuxia blinked and smiled.
Su Yang looked at the two crouching on the balcony and called out, "What are you two doing over there?"
"Uh, nothing, Su Yang, are you hungry? I'll order takeout!" Chen Yuxi hastily changed the subject.
"I'm fine, actually. Do you guys have any ingredients at home?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head. "No, we don't."
"Then let's order takeout. I'll head out after we eat something."
"Okay, I'll order." Chen Yuxi said as she quickly walked back to the room to grab her phone. After entering the room, she noticed two pieces of underwear sitting on the chair by the bed.
'Huh? How did these end up here?'
'Wait... don't tell me it was Su Yang...' She thought as she hurried over and stashed them away.
Both items were new, never worn, and had been casually tucked under the pillow. Good thing they hadn't been worn, otherwise that would have been mortifying.
She put them in the wardrobe, then picked up her phone and walked out of the bedroom.
"Chuxia, are you feeling better?" Su Yang looked at Lin Chuxia and asked.
"Much better. I drank too much last night and blacked out. I don't even remember how I got back. Yuxi said you brought us home. Thank you so much, Su Yang."
"No problem, don't mention it."
"Did you carry me back on your back?"
Su Yang nodded. "Yeah. Yuxi was in a slightly better state, but you wouldn't wake up no matter what, so I had to carry you."
Hearing this, Lin Chuxia smiled shyly and said happily, "That must have been such a hassle for you."
"It's nothing. We're friends, right? I'm going to go wash up."
"Sure, go ahead."
Su Yang turned and headed to the bathroom while the two girls sat on the sofa browsing for takeout.
A few minutes later, he finished washing up and came back to the living room.
"Su Yang, we're thinking of ordering soup dumplings and wontons. Do you want some?"
"Sure."
"Awesome, I'll order now." Chen Yuxi quickly placed an order for three servings and then went to wash up herself.
Su Yang and Lin Chuxia sat on the sofa making small talk, neither bringing up the awkward moment from earlier.
Half an hour later, the takeout arrived, and the three of them had a simple breakfast together.
After eating, Su Yang said goodbye to the two and left first.
It was ten in the morning. He walked to the entrance of the complex, hailed a taxi, and headed to Tangcheng Yipin.
Once in the car, he dialed Qin Su's number.
It rang a few seconds before she picked up. "Hello, Su Yang."
"Susu, are you home right now?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Has Ranran left?"
"She left at nine."
"Okay, I'm coming over now to grab my luggage. Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, but I ordered takeout. What about you?"
"I've already eaten."
"Oh, okay. I was going to say if you hadn't eaten, I'd order something for you too."
"No need, no need. Just eat on your own. By the way, can delivery drivers get into your complex?"
"They can if they have a pass. Most drivers who take orders for this complex have one."
"Got it. Let's talk more when I get there."
"Okay."
He hung up and leaned his head against the window, gazing outside.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi pulled up at the main gate of Tangcheng Yipin.
Su Yang paid and got out, registered at the guard booth by the entrance, and then walked into the complex.
He quickly reached Qin Su's building and dialed her number. "Hey Susu, I'm downstairs at your building. Can you open the door for me?"
"Sure."
About ten seconds later, the ground-floor door buzzed open, and Su Yang walked in.
Three elevators per floor sure is nice — no fighting over the elevator with anyone. He quickly took it up to the 42nd floor.
The door was already open, so Su Yang stepped inside and closed it behind him.
Qin Su came around from behind the entryway. She was wearing a black camisole nightgown, hair tied up, no makeup, completely bare-faced.
They exchanged smiles. "Come sit for a bit. I made you an iced Americano."
"Really? I'm actually pretty thirsty." Su Yang grinned.
"Haha, come sit down."
The two walked over to the living room, and Su Yang picked up the coffee from the coffee table and took a sip. "Ah, that hits the spot."
"Has your takeout arrived yet?"
"About five more minutes."
"Alright, I'll sit for a bit, finish my coffee, and then head out."
"Where are you off to?" Qin Su looked at Su Yang and asked.
"I'm going to apply for a visa."
"Oh, right, you mentioned you were going to Europe. So what after the visa?" Qin Su asked again.
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "After that, I have a few other things to do. I need to stop by a friend's place."
"Oh, okay."
They chatted casually until the takeout arrived.
Su Yang sat another five minutes, finished his coffee, and stood up. "Susu, take your time eating. I'll get going — need to get this done."
"Alright, go ahead, then."
"Oh, one more thing — let me use your bedroom for a second. I need to change."
"Sure, feel free to use anything in here. No need to ask."
"Haha, thanks." Su Yang walked over to his suitcase, unzipped it, pulled out a T-shirt and a pair of pants, and headed to the bedroom he had slept in the night before.
He came out a few minutes later, changed.
"All done. I'm off. See you later."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Su Yang said, pulling his suitcase along as he left.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the visa application center and quickly applied for an expedited visa. The Schengen visa for traveling to multiple European countries is essentially universal, covering 29 European countries.
So there was no need to apply for one per country — just choose the main destination country based on your length of stay and apply there.
After finishing, Su Yang walked to the curb and lit a cigarette.
The visa would be ready within about three business days.
He could use these few days to take care of the remaining matters.
Just as he finished his smoke, his phone rang. It was Zhuang Mengli calling.
"Hello." Su Yang answered.
Zhuang Mengli's voice came through the line. "Are you in Modu (Shanghai)?"
"I'm already here."
"Really? Well, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"The day before yesterday or yesterday, I told you my dad and grandpa wanted to thank you, right? But this morning, something urgent came up on their end, and I have to go along too. So we're on our way to the airport right now — we're flying to the capital."
Hearing this, Su Yang asked, "That urgent? You're already on your way?"
"Yeah."
Just then, Zhuang Yong's voice came through the phone. "Little Su, I'm really sorry. Let me apologize first. It's like this — an uncle of mine in the capital passed away. He's my father's cousin, so we have to go... It came out of nowhere. I really feel terrible about this."
Su Yang shook his head and said, "Hey, Uncle Zhuang, there's nothing to apologize for when something like this happens. Don't worry about me. I came to Modu for other things too. You go take care of business, no rush."
"Alright, alright. Stay in Modu for a few more days and have some fun. We'll catch up when we get back."
"Uh... well, here's the thing, Uncle. I have to fly to Europe in a couple of days, so our schedules might clash. I'll probably have to wait until I get back from Europe."
"Is that so? What a coincidence that everything's piling up at once. Alright then, I'll wait until you're back to thank you in person."
"Little Su." Zhuang Changyun's voice came through the phone again.
"Yes, Grandpa Zhuang." Su Yang said with a smile.
"Sorry, Little Su. I had planned to spend the day at home with you, but something unexpected came up..."
"It's alright, Grandpa Zhuang. How are you feeling now?"
"Great! Better than ever!"
"That's good to hear. Even though you don't need to take the medicine anymore, you should still stay active when you have free time."
"Got it. You really are a miracle doctor."
"Not at all, it's nothing that impressive."
"Grandpa, give me the phone. I want to talk to him for a bit." Zhuang Mengli's voice called out from the background.
"Alright. Well then, Little Su, I'll leave you be. We'll catch up when you get back from Europe."
"Will do!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

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.”
