"Actually, it's nothing much. I just cheated on you."
Inside the small cabin, Ye Shu held Lin Qingxue's hand. His gaze was calm and open, his voice crisp.
Inside the ring, Danxia and Medusa were both stunned.
He... he actually said it?
Just like that, he blurted it out so casually?
The two of them had already prepared to keep it a secret. After all, this matter wasn't exactly glorious, and they were the latecomers. The normal procedure should have been to hide it first and slowly reveal it later.
No one expected Ye Shu to just drop the bomb right from the start.
"Shu'er..."
Danxia covered her mouth, a look of being deeply moved on her face.
Meanwhile, Medusa turned her face away with a hint of disdain and coldly snorted, "I suppose you barely count as a man." Even though she said that, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
Xiaobai gritted her teeth, practically exploding with anger.
"Scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!"
"Stinking scumbag!"
Lin Qingxue still maintained her previous expression, her chin raised proudly. As if she hadn't heard clearly, she subconsciously asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, I cheated on you."
Ye Shu repeated it once more, speaking a bit slower.
This time, Lin Qingxue finally heard it clearly.
Her expression instantly froze. It was as if an immobilizing spell had been cast on her, rooting her to the spot as Ye Shu's words echoed in her mind.
"What did you just say?"
Refusing to believe it, she asked again.
"I cheated."
"What did you say?"
"I cheated."
"What did you say?"
"I cheated."
She asked several times in a row, and the answer was always the same. Ye Shu remained calm throughout. He had never been someone to shirk responsibility. Keeping this a secret from Lin Qingxue would not only be unfair to her, but also unfair to Danxia and Medusa.
Even if given another chance, he would still say it.
"You... you..."
Lin Qingxue finally couldn't ask anymore. Pointing at Ye Shu, her lips trembled. She never expected this. It was supposed to be a happy occasion that her unfaithful lover had returned.
But why?
Why did it turn out like this?
"I... I..."
Lin Qingxue's eyes were completely red. Holding Ye Shu's hand, she didn't know whether to run away or stay. Finally, she simply took a sudden step forward, bit down hard on his shoulder, and cried out loudly.
"I'm going to bite you to death! I'll bite you to death!"
"I'll bite you to death, you heartless man! Boohoo... You promised me that you wouldn't interact with any other women besides me, that you wouldn't have relations with any other woman!"
"You signed a guarantee!"
She cried as she bit him, then pulled out stack after stack of signed guarantees from her embrace and slapped them against his chest.
"Look at this!"
"Look!"
"You signed these, didn't you! You heartless jerk! Even if I've always bullied you, you can't do this! You're a liar, a huge liar! I hate you!"
"Waaaah! Cough, cough... woo..."
She lifted her head, crying a river. She even choked on her own tears, coughing so hard it felt like she would cough up her lungs.
Ye Shu gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.
"Don't rush, take your time crying."
He sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "Actually, I didn't break my promise."
"How did you not?!"
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue jerked her head up and glared at him indignantly. She poked his chest with her finger, her cheeks puffed out in anger.
"You cheated! And you say you didn't?!"
"First of all."
Ye Shu held up one finger.
"I was the one who was forced."
"Secondly."
He held up a second finger.
"The ones who forced me... one is a ghost, and the other is a snake. Neither of them are human."
Lin Qingxue was instantly dumbfounded.
Who could have thought? The guarantee she had spent a whole night drafting was easily bypassed simply because the other parties weren't even human.
She was so mad, but why did she also feel a little like laughing?
"You!"
"Then you're still at fault!"
Lin Qingxue pointed at him, crying and scolding, "Just because they aren't human, does that give you a reason to cheat? You heartless jerk! I hate you, I hate you to death!"
"I'm never going to speak to you again!"
"Scumbag, liar, bastard, detestable thief, heartless jerk, wife-and-child abandoner, unfaithful husband, slut..."
Ye Shu: ".........."
Hey, hey, hey, isn't there something wrong with that last part?
He helplessly spread his hands.
"But, Young Miss, didn't I already say it?"
"I was forced."
"Eh?"
Lin Qingxue, who was in the middle of her fit of anger, blinked.
"I suppose that's true..."
"No, that's not the point!"
She violently shook her head, threw herself into Ye Shu's arms, opened her mouth wide, and bit down on his shoulder again. "You heartless jerk! Cheating with one wasn't enough, you had to cheat with two at once! I... I... I'll bite you to death!"
She scolded and bit him as her tears fell like rain.
Tears slid down her fragrant cheeks, slowly landing at the corner of her mouth and dripping into the deep teeth marks. Mixing with the blood, the pain made Ye Shu bare his teeth.
But he didn't cry out in pain; instead, he hugged her tenderly.
"Poor girl."
Ye Shu sighed helplessly, pulling her closer into his embrace to give her a more comfortable angle to bite. "I am a heartless jerk, I know."
"Woo... You big bastard!"
Lin Qingxue released her bite, staring at him with red eyes, her eye sockets swollen like two large peaches.
"I know. Things have come to this, and saying anything is useless."
Ye Shu held her shoulders with both hands, looking very serious. "So, no matter what kind of compensation you want, even if you want to leave right now, I can accept it."
"Tch, scumbag!"
Sitting on his shoulder, Xiaobai cast him a disdainful look. This bastard, wasn't he just acting fearless because he knew Lin Qingxue liked him?
Would she really leave?
Impossible.
Sure enough, Lin Qingxue bit her lower lip tightly, her large eyes full of tears. She stared fixedly at Ye Shu, her hands gripping his neck as she said with resentment, "You heartless jerk, you broke my heart like this, and you think pretending to say a few polite words will work? If I left, wouldn't that just make things easy for you and those two vixens?"
"I'd be the only one suffering."
Ye Shu didn't really have a good solution to this either.
He looked helplessly into Lin Qingxue's eyes. "If I told you that seeing you sad actually makes me unhappy too, would you feel a bit better?"
"No!"
"Not at all!"
Lin Qingxue shook her head, crying.
Suddenly, she grabbed Ye Shu's shoulders, forcefully threw him onto the bed, and then straddled him. Crying, she used her small hands to tear at his clothes.
"What are you doing?" Ye Shu was dumbfounded.
"Don't you like being forced?"
Crying, Lin Qingxue leaned down, ripped open her own clothes, and pressed herself against him.
"Now this young lady is going to force you too!"

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

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.”

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?!
