That night, the beasts roared in the distance, while the stars glittered overhead.
On a night known to no one—while the entire beast race was lost in the pleasures of mating—no one could have imagined the fierce battle taking place in the small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
This was Ye Shu’s first time facing a giganticized Pokémon.
And he was battling an adult Rayquaza!
The difficulty was no less than a human trying to lift an Asian elephant with his bare hands.
Only Ye Shu knew how much suffering he had endured.
It was like swimming back and forth through a cramped, water-filled cavern, constantly struggling from side to side. The burden was more than any ordinary person could bear.
Without a doubt, this battle was the greatest trial Ye Shu had ever faced in his career of building a harem.
Would he conquer her—or collapse here?
Would he emerge a hero—or a coward?
It would all be decided tonight.
Today was the day.
From the very beginning, Ye Shu had wagered everything. He had thrown his entire body into the contest, leaving no part of himself in reserve. Never before had anyone forced him to use so many different methods.
But his efforts eventually paid off.
As Ye Shu risked drowning and clenched his teeth, recalling the agony of swimming practice for his middle-school physical-exam trials, he finally exhausted all of Ao Xue’s strength.
“Awooo!”
A golden dragon-shaped shadow danced wildly in midair, twisting its body beneath the moonlight. It let out a long, satisfied moan, then drew itself inward and began to shrink until it finally fell from the sky.
The two of them ultimately landed in the entryway outside the house.
Smack!
Soaked from head to toe, Ye Shu collapsed onto the floor, panting heavily. Every muscle in his body ached, and he was utterly spent.
Ao Xue, meanwhile, lay limply on the ground, her pink lips slightly parted as she breathed out fragrant, heated air. Her fair skin was flushed red, and sweat drenched her body, sticking wetly to the floor. Her delicate cheeks still bore the blush that had yet to fade. Her shoulders gleamed like polished jade, while her golden eyes shimmered with springlike moisture. Gazing at Ye Shu with sultry, half-lidded eyes, she looked as though she still had not recovered from the pleasure she had just experienced.
So that was what such a thing felt like…
No wonder all those women kept surrounding the Big Bad. Why had no one ever told her about this?
The battle had left Ao Xue deeply shaken.
“Heartless Man… I’ll call it a draw this time…” she panted breathlessly.
“A draw?”
Ye Shu let out a disdainful laugh.
With great effort, he pushed himself upright. Anger burned in his eyes as he accused her between ragged breaths, “You… you were the one enjoying yourself! What about me? How am I any different from a plumber unclogging a drain?”
“No, wait. I even had to jerk off inside the pipe.”
“You… you can still stand?!” Ao Xue stared at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock. She was so exhausted that even speaking felt difficult, yet this man was actually still able to get up.
“Because sheer willpower will carry me through the encirclement!”
Ye Shu swayed unsteadily, yet continued making his way toward Ao Xue. His gaze roamed over her graceful curves, like a flame rekindled among dying embers.
Ao Xue stared at him incredulously.
“You’re not planning to—”
Before she could finish, Ye Shu had already lunged forward and pinned her beneath him. He gulped down great breaths of air, the heat of them spraying across Ao Xue’s face.
“Now it’s my turn to enjoy myself, isn’t it?”
“But... but I don’t have the strength to turn back into my true form.” Ao Xue pleaded with a pitiful expression. “Brother Ye, darling, master, please, let me go. I’m so tired...”
“You know how to beg for mercy now?”
Ye Shu’s eyes were bloodshot as he hooked one hand beneath her chin. “Too late! This is exactly how I want you!”
“Huh? Not in human form!”
Ao Xue’s face went white with fright, and she tried to struggle free.
Ye Shu, however, paid her no heed. He bent down and sealed her lips with his own, his hands roaming over her as he prepared for another passionate round.
But just as the two were about to go further, a crisp, childlike voice rang out beside them.
“Big brother, what are you doing?”
Ao Xue and Ye Shu instantly froze.
They stiffly turned their heads, only to see a little flower-patterned chipmunk staring wide-eyed at the naked pair—and... all the women standing behind the chipmunk.

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.”

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
