"Got something important to do?"
Jiang Xin and the others looked at Ye Shu with a puzzled look on their faces.
Just now, they suddenly noticed that Ye Shu, who was originally quite relaxed and chatting and laughing with them, suddenly became a bit serious, and his expression also turned solemn.
"That's right,"
Ye Shu nodded, his gaze piercing through the city wall of the Ten Thousand Beasts City. "It's a very important matter, and it can't be delayed."
"What is it?"
Xia Hanmo asked curiously.
For this heartless man to suddenly become so serious, it must be a big deal.
Regarding this question...
Ye Shu glanced at Little Beast, then at Ao Xue, then at the silly Jiang Xin, and Jiang Mingyue on her head. After some consideration, he stepped forward a few steps, walked beside Xia Hanmo, and whispered in her ear, "There's news about Medusa."
His original intention was to avoid making the others jealous.
Xia Hanmo was more mature than these silly girls, so it was more appropriate to tell her first.
Unexpectedly, Xia Hanmo just stared at him blankly.
"Medusa? Who is Medusa?"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, she let out a scream, as if she remembered something. She slapped her palm as if waking up from a dream, pointed at Ye Shu, and said in disbelief, "You mean the Queen of the Snake Tribe from your past life who was raped by you, hated you to the core, but then accidentally gave birth to a son for you and finally had no choice but to accept her fate and live with you?"
"I didn't expect that even in this new life, you still haven't let her go!"
Xia Hanmo sized Ye Shu up and down, as if re - evaluating this scumbag.
Originally, she thought this guy wasn't the jerk from her dreams.
Now it seems...
He's still that jerk.
Her voice was so loud that Jiang Xin, Ao Xue and the others nearby heard it clearly. They all turned their heads in unison and stared at Ye Shu without blinking.
"What do you mean... gave birth to a son?"
"..."
Ye Shu's face turned as black as charcoal. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "I have to clarify that I was the one who was raped. I'm the victim."
Now he just regretted it, extremely regretted it.
Looking at the girls whose gazes suddenly changed and whose eyes turned green, Ye Shu felt a pang of desolation in his heart.
Ye Shu, Ye Shu.
Why did you tell the truth?
At this time, you should have been a riddle - maker and let them guess by themselves.
"Good for you, you heartless man!"
"I thought you really had something important to do. It turns out you're just busy meeting your old lover!"
Jiang Xin put her hands on her hips, looking indignant.
Even Ao Xue looked at him unhappily and asked, "What's so good about that stinky snake? Is she more important than accompanying me to save my father?"
"Don't talk like that,"
Little Beast walked in front of Ye Shu, spreading her arms, with a soft voice, "I believe Teacher must not be the kind of person who forgets righteousness for beauty. He must have his reasons."
Hearing this, Ye Shu was deeply touched.
Unexpectedly, in this treacherous era, there was still such a pure - hearted person like Little Beast.
"Zi Yue, I..."
"Teacher, you don't need to say anything,"
Little Beast turned around and showed a bright smile. "It doesn't matter even if you really are going to meet your old lover. After all, we are the latecomers."
Looking at her bright eyes, Ye Shu was speechless.
Listen!
Listen!
This is what a real woman is like, a real woman who thinks for her man! At this moment, Little Beast's status in Ye Shu's heart rose straight up, comparable to Xiaobai.
"None of you guys are reliable!"
Ye Shu stepped forward and protected Little Beast in his arms. Then he swept a cold glance at Jiang Xin, Ao Xue and the others present. "Do you really think I've been too lenient with you? Can't you tell who's in charge?"
"I..."
Jiang Xin and Ao Xue opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but when they met Ye Shu's cold and fierce gaze, they swallowed their words and changed their tune, "Well, I'm just jealous..."
Who would be happy just because their man has many women?
It's understandable.
Ye Shu let out a soft sigh and didn't say much.
"If it weren't for the urgent situation, I naturally wouldn't treat you like this," he said seriously. "It's just that you've been too naughty and can't tell when to be serious and when to have fun. In this regard, you really should learn from Zi Yue."
"Oh..."
As soon as his tone became strict, Jiang Xin and Ao Xue immediately lowered their heads and stood in a row in unison, looking like primary school students being trained. Even their tails behaved.
"Sorry."
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Ye Shu gave a satisfied grunt, flicked his sleeves and turned around, leaving only his back.
"Then it's settled,"
"You guys go to the suppression place with the old Dragon Emperor and try to help him break the seal. I believe you know more about how to get him out than I do."
Ye Shu said calmly.
This was also the reason why he wasn't going.
Because there was no need at all. The system had already imprinted the method of breaking Ao Kun's seal in Ao Xue's mind, and he didn't need to get involved.
As for why he was so sure.
It could be easily deduced.
In the system's original plan, Ao Kun must be a major combat force against him. Then it was impossible for it not to give Ao Xue a way to break the seal alone.
It just probably didn't expect what a silly dragon this was.
"No!"
Xia Hanmo suddenly refused loudly. She stepped forward abruptly, grabbed Ye Shu's arm, leaned close to his ear, with a sharp look in her eyes, and whispered, "You tell me honestly, is it very dangerous that you're in such a hurry? Otherwise, you would never give up the chance to let Ao Kun out first and then do your thing."
"I'm not sure, it's just..."
Ye Shu hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed, but still said, "I just have a bad feeling in my heart."
"I'm probably going to see some blood this time."
"You're doing it again!"
Hearing this, Xia Hanmo immediately puffed out her cheeks and stared at him angrily. "Playing the hero and taking everything on yourself. Will you send someone to give me your urn again later? I'm not the same as before. I can help you now."
"I know, I know,"
Ye Shu said with a headache. "Of course, I know you can help me now."
"Then why don't you take me with you?"
Xia Hanmo opened her eyes wide and looked at him defiantly. "Or are you just lying to me?"
"Not at all,"
"Hanmo," Ye Shu stared at her seriously, gently holding her shoulders with both hands, and said in a solemn tone, "It's precisely because I believe in you that I'm letting you go with these silly girls to help the old Dragon Emperor break the seal. Otherwise, I really can't trust them to do things. Although Little Beast is very intelligent, she's still young. As the older sister, you naturally have to take on more responsibilities. Do you understand?"
Xia Hanmo was so dizzy after hearing his words.
All that was in her mind were a few words.
"I believe in you."
He believes in me!
This realization made Xia Hanmo overjoyed. She subconsciously straightened her back, put away her smile, and imitated Ye Shu's serious look, trying to make her voice sound steady.
"Then leave it to me with confidence!"
"Guaranteed to complete the task!"
"Then I can rest assured."
Ye Shu nodded slightly. Then, he had a brief but heartfelt farewell with Jiang Xin and the others one by one. After that, he turned around, looked at Ao Kun, and bowed with clasped fists, saying,
"I hope senior will take good care of me."
"You young fellow."
Ao Kun shook his head, clicking his tongue in wonder. "You have so many charming ladies around you, yet you can manage them so well. You're quite capable. Well, I'll be off first."
With that, he flicked his sleeve robe.
In an instant, the figures of Ao Xue and the others soared into the sky, leaving only Ye Shu standing alone in the courtyard.
He slowly turned around and closed his eyes slightly.
Then, he saw a little figure above his head. The figure had rosy lips and white teeth, wore a plain white Taoist robe, was pinching his fingers to calculate, and uttered a single word.
"Bad omen!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.”

Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
