"If he finds out that we know his secret, he... would he... kill us to keep it quiet?"
Xuan Ying was still in a daze, murmuring to herself.
Weren't they supposed to be here to protect Su Cheng?
How did it turn out like this?
Now that she knew too many secrets and inside stories, she felt her own safety was at risk.
She even imagined one night, Su Cheng suddenly appearing behind her, his voice hoarse and low: "Sorry. You know too much."
"Don't overthink it, Su Cheng is not a bad person," Zhao Yan patted her shoulder gently, her voice full of comfort.
She had investigated Su Cheng's background.
Xuan Ying forced a bitter smile, her tone somewhat forlorn: "But he's our classmate, and I'm a bit scared!"
"Hehe," Zhao Yan smiled tenderly, "Don't be afraid. He's just doing something he believes is worthwhile. Didn't you forget last time he helped us chase the peeper? That shows he's a righteous person who cares about us and is kind and gentle. He won't hurt us."
As she spoke, Zhao Yan patted Xuan Ying's shoulder and looked out the window.
Hearing this, Xuan Ying took a deep breath, trying to shake off the ominous feeling, and nodded.
But at this moment, the image of Su Cheng, once so amiable and innocent in the minds of the two girls, had completely vanished, replaced by a vengeful boy with magical powers.
"Oh no, I forgot I invited him under the guise of a class reunion this afternoon!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yan remembered and quickly said.
Xuan Ying also remembered and felt uneasy.
"Actually, he already knew you were following him in the apartment!"
Suddenly, the female driver spoke up.
"Ah!!!"
Hearing this, Xuan Ying's eyes welled up with tears: "What should we do now?"
"You said he helped you before?"
The driver didn't respond to Xuan Ying but looked at Zhao Yan and asked.
"Yes."
"Tell me more about it."
Soon, Zhao Yan recounted the incident of catching the peeper to the driver, even detailing other events at school.
"Don't be afraid. If I were you, I'd feel delighted. Don't you think it's cool to have someone around who pretends to be harmless but can unleash immense power when needed? It's so reassuring!"
The driver said, winking at Xuan Ying: "And only you know about it."
Zhao Yan nodded thoughtfully, agreeing.
Xuan Ying was stunned, then realized: "That's true, but we know his secret, and he knows we were following him!"
"Your school wronged him, yet he didn't retaliate and even went after the peeper for you. This shows he's a principled person who distinguishes right from wrong and has clear likes and dislikes!"
The driver said, her pretty face showing a strong sense of envy: "If I had a classmate like that in school, I'd stick to him every day!"
"But the problem is, we know his secret!"
Xuan Ying was almost in tears, feeling the driver wasn't addressing her concerns directly.
"Oh, you're so dense. He clearly recognized you this morning, why didn't he acknowledge you?"
The driver continued, looking exasperated: "It's because he saw you didn't acknowledge him, so he didn't either."
"But, what I'm saying is, he knows we know his secret!"
Xuan Ying was still anxious.
"Oh, you're so dumb. Isn't it obvious? He recognized you but still went ahead with his revenge plan in the afternoon. What does that mean?"
The driver glared, looking like she was scolding a fool, making Xuan Ying stomp her foot in frustration.
"It means he doesn't know we know his secret," Zhao Yan said, smiling, explaining.
"Ah?!"
Xuan Ying was stunned, then understood.
"As long as we keep this to ourselves, no one will know, and we can just act like we know nothing. He's still our classmate Su Cheng!"
Zhao Yan added.
"And since you invited him under the class reunion pretext, you can explain later that the gathering was canceled, and you came to express your apologies and gratitude from last time. Then you can have a meal, watch a movie, chat, and so on."
The driver suggested.
"Yes, you wanted to be friends with him, and this is a great opportunity," Zhao Yan encouraged, looking at Xuan Ying: "Maybe you can even find out the password to his homepage!"
"This... okay!"
Xuan Ying bit her lip, finally agreeing.
"Alright, you two get off here. Just wait for him at the apartment!"
The driver suggested.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying nodded and got off the car.
"By the way, if you need a ride or run into any trouble in the future, you can call me!"
"Okay, thank you so much for your help today, Sister Qin!"
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying said in unison.
During their conversation, they learned that the driver's name was Ye Ruiqin, and she was in her twenties.
This time, Sister Qin not only didn't charge them but also offered advice to help them solve their problem, so Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying were very grateful.
"You're too polite. We don't need to be so formal between us."
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Make sure to keep an eye on this treasure boy!"
Ye Ruiqin teased, then drove off.
Zhao Yan watched her car disappear into the distance, a faint smile on her face, murmuring: "Treasure boy?"
"More like a ticking bomb, if you ask me!"
Xuan Ying said grumpily beside her.
"That's quite fitting!"
Zhao Yan nodded, unable to help but laugh.
Not exploding, he's harmless; once he does, it's a tidal wave of surprises, even devastating.
"Let's go in!"
Then Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying entered the apartment building, standing by the security booth. The security guard inside saw them and was stunned. Soon, one of them came out and asked: "May I ask which gentleman the two beautiful ladies are here to see?"
He looked at Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying with surprise, inwardly marveling at how beautiful they were, even in ordinary clothes, their radiance couldn't be hidden. Especially with the innate noble aura they exuded, making people feel inferior.
Zhao Yan smiled and said: "We're here to visit someone!"
As she spoke, she took out her student ID from her bag and handed it to the guard.
After registering, the two walked into the community boldly.
Due to their looks and being strangers, they attracted a lot of attention on the way.
But the two remained calm, ignoring the stares of others, heading towards the building where Su Cheng lived.
"I've sent a message to Su Cheng."
"What did you say?"
"I'll wait for him downstairs at his place."
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.”
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
