The room fell silent. The women watched Liu Ruyi leave, their expressions troubled, even a little sympathetic.
Putting themselves in her shoes, if a heartless man had criticized them in front of so many people, they would probably have felt so aggrieved they could burst.
“Um... well...”
Jiang Xin tugged on Ye Shu’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t you think you went a little too far? She only likes you, and she’s your lawfully wedded wife. Did you really have to say all that?”
Ye Shu gave her a strange look.
Seriously, girl? Are you even thinking straight?
That was your love rival. Your love rival! Hadn’t the two of you just been arguing yourselves red in the face over who got to be the principal wife? Why had she suddenly turned around and started speaking up for Liu Ruyi?
Was this the legendary power of female empathy?
Ye Shu quietly filed this discovery away.
If these women ever ganged up on another girl in the future, he would simply put the pressure on one of them. The rest would surely empathize with her, and then they could all get along in peace.
Damn, Ye Shu, you’re a freaking genius!
His eyes darted around as he marveled at his own brilliant idea.
Of course, it was better not to say such a thing aloud.
Composing himself, he raised a hand and gently patted Jiang Xin on the head. “Some things are better said sooner rather than later. The longer you drag them out, the deeper the hurt becomes.”
“Oh...”
Jiang Xin lowered her head dejectedly, secretly overcome with relief.
Thank goodness she wasn’t the one he had said he didn’t love. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known what to do.
She probably would have cried for a very long time.
“All right. This is between her and me. It has nothing to do with any of you.” Ye Shu rose to his feet and swept his gaze across the others in the room. “Since you’re all here, are you planning to come at me together, or one at a time?”
“A-All together?”
The women spoke in unison, their eyes widening into perfect circles.
They exchanged glances, taking in one another’s exquisite faces, and countless unspeakable images suddenly flooded their minds. They could almost see the beautiful bodies hidden beneath each other’s clothes.
If they were all tangled together...
“Eek!”
Just imagining it was enough to make their faces burn and their hearts race. Doing that sort of thing with the heartless scoundrel was embarrassing enough, but with other women joining in too...
Hiss—
Jiang Xin and Xia Hanmo shuddered from head to toe. Their entire bodies went numb and limp as they collapsed onto the bed, cheeks flushed and eyes misty with desire.
The scenes conjured by their imaginations had drained every last ounce of strength from them.
They had practically melted into two puddles.
Seeing her two elder sisters like this, Little Beast immediately realized what was about to happen. She had imagined doing that sort of thing with her teacher before.
But she had never said she wanted her first time to involve so many people!
W-Wouldn’t she break?!
“Um... the Beastfolk election is tomorrow afternoon, so I-I won’t disturb your rest. I-I’ll be going now! Haha... You should all get to bed early.”
The moment she finished speaking, she fled like a gust of wind.
Jiang Mingyue, meanwhile, stared with her large, round eyes and pointed at the tip of her own nose, asking in her soft, childish voice,
“D-Do I get to do it too?”
Hoho! Who would have thought that coming along with silly Jiang Xin to catch him cheating would bring an unexpected bonus?
“No—what on earth is going through that little head of yours?”
Ye Shu nearly choked on his own spit. How old was Jiang Mingyue, anyway? Five or six at most. Doing that sort of thing with a child so young would definitely land him behind bars.
He glanced at Jiang Xin and Xia Hanmo on the bed.
Originally, he hadn’t planned on doing anything.
But the two women had already let their imaginations run wild. If he simply brushed the matter aside now, it would make him seem rather oblivious to the mood.
At this point, he had no choice but to go through with it!
“All right, I’m going in!”
Steadying himself, Ye Shu strode over to the bed, grabbed Jiang Mingyue by the scruff of her neck, and tossed her into the wardrobe. He then placed a restrictive seal over it to stop her from sneaking out and causing trouble in the middle of the night. Only then did he turn toward the two women on the bed.
They lay sprawled across the mattress, their faces flushed crimson.
Their breathing was rapid, and they squirmed restlessly as their large, watery eyes stared fixedly at Ye Shu, as though they already knew what was about to happen.
Yet, overcome by shyness, neither dared to speak.
At the alluring sight, Ye Shu couldn’t help swallowing. He climbed onto the bed and gently touched Jiang Xin’s hand.
“H-Husband…”
Jiang Xin trembled all over. She slowly raised her head, her eyes misty and her face so red it seemed ready to drip blood.
Biting her lower lip, she asked in a soft, delicate voice,
“What… what are you planning to do?”
“You already know.”
Ye Shu flicked a finger. The candle instantly went out, and the windows swung shut as well, plunging the room into darkness.
Jiang Xin let out a brief cry of surprise. A moment later, faint rustling noises came from the darkness.
Xia Hanmo lay on the other side, unable to see a thing.
But her hearing seemed sharper than ever. She could make out every tiny movement, and every blush-inducing sound beside her reached her ears with perfect clarity.
She bit down on her lower lip, her heart filled with both embarrassment and anticipation.
Before long, the sounds beside her died away. Then a damp hand reached through the darkness and gently closed around her wrist.
Xia Hanmo’s delicate body trembled, but she did not pull away.
“I… I…” Her cheeks burned, and her voice was barely louder than a mosquito’s buzz. “I’ll only allow it this once. Just tonight.”
Ye Shu paused, then chuckled.
How could something like this happen only once?
Once there was a first time, there would naturally be countless more.
And so, the three of them lay together beneath the covers, discussing their lives and dreams and exploring the philosophical question of where life came from.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mingyue remained locked in the wardrobe all by herself.
Pressed against the wardrobe door, she peered through the crack with her large eyes at the bed beneath the moonlight. She was so furious that she nearly ground two of her baby teeth loose.
D-Damn it!
Those shameless scoundrels were actually doing such a thing in broad daylight—and they wouldn’t even let her join them!
Bastards!
What a bunch of bastards!
Where was their morality? Where was their etiquette? Where was their sense of shame? And, more importantly, where was her spot?
Couldn’t they at least have left her a better view?
Jiang Mingyue stared through the crack for ages, but all she could see was the snowy-white quilt. She couldn’t make out a single thing.
Fuming, she took all her frustration out on her rag doll.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Meanwhile, outside the room, the Little Beast—who had not gone far—quietly crept back and secretly peered through a small hole in the door, observing everything inside.
“As a student, sex education is essential, too.”
She murmured under her breath, her cheeks flushed. Filled with deep reverence, she watched attentively, nodding from time to time as she took notes in a little notebook.
She really did look as though she were studying.
But her legs, which trembled ever so slightly now and then, along with the tail standing straight up behind her like an antenna, had already given her away completely.
Only after all sound from inside had faded did the Little Beast finally pull herself away, still reluctant to leave. Clamping her legs together, she slowly made her way back to her own room.
“That’s enough studying for today.”
She lay on the bed, then suddenly glanced at the writing brush on the desk and bit her lip.
“All that remains is to put it into practice…”
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!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
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?!
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.
