Zhu Yan sneered, completely ignoring Chen Zhaoxing's speculation.
What did any of that have to do with him?
As long as Chen Zhaoxing could quietly participate in the instance, not cause any trouble, and not get in his way, that was enough.
Zhu Yan quickly glanced at Chen Zhaoxing. "Dad."
Chen Zhaoxing's level was clearly higher than the others, allowing him to quickly notice that something was wrong.
However, this man was still affected by the word "Dad," which meant he was still below level five!
Chen Zhaoxing's eyes grew dizzy. "Huh?"
The next second, Zhu Yan quickly activated the ability Humiliation and struck Chen Zhaoxing on the back of the neck with a knifehand strike.
Chen Zhaoxing instantly lost his strength and slumped limply to the ground.
He probably didn't expect Zhu Yan to attack so directly. His eyes widened. "Oh, oh, oh? Why are you trying to beat me to death?"
Zhu Yan raised his hand again.
Chen Zhaoxing made a weak, feeble sound.
"Don't! Dad, you are my dad—oh!"
The slap landed, and Chen Zhaoxing went completely silent.
His head tilted to the side, and he passed out.
Zhu Yan grabbed him by the collar, hoisted him up, and cast a faint glance at the other person.
Strangely, the young man named Xu Tongguang was very quiet, his thin chest heaving slightly.
His dark brown eyes looked at Zhu Yan, and an unnatural flush appeared on his face, as if he was extremely excited about something.
"Are you going to hit me?"
He actually offered an arm on his own initiative. "Hit me. If you want to kill, kill; if you want to hit, hit!"
What the hell?
Zhu Yan frowned, his vigilance rising steadily.
If this were before the descent of the Carnival Paradise, Zhu Yan would have thought this guy should wear a dog collar and take pictures in front of a McDonald's.
However, for this young man to survive in the instances at such a young age, he probably wouldn't act out some weird fetish at such a critical moment.
It was either a trap or the result of an ability.
"Dad, what exactly is your goal?"
Xu Tongguang's gaze lost focus again.
"I want you to hit me," Xu Tongguang told the truth. "If you hit me, you will receive double the damage yourself."
Holy crap!
Zhu Yan was shocked.
What kind of bizarre ability was this?
Under the influence of Glorify Ancestors, tears of regret welled up in Xu Tongguang's eyes.
"I really deserve to die, truly. I shouldn't have treated you like this..."
"Get in the house," Zhu Yan commanded coldly.
He dragged the unconscious Chen Zhaoxing through the door, threw him onto the sofa, and quickly checked over the details.
Lying there like that, with his hair covering his face, it was actually hard to tell he was a man.
The problem was that this guy was very unprofessional; he hadn't shaved his leg hair, which was remarkably similar to how he had haphazardly thrown away his milk tea cup earlier.
Zhu Yan grabbed a blanket from beside the sofa and haphazardly tossed it over him.
"Son, how is it?"
Wang Lanhua turned her head.
Seeing the two weird-looking people in the living room, her voice suddenly pitched up.
"Damn it, why did two of this kind show up?"
"What are they wearing? We agreed on decent girls from good families, but these aren't them!"
Zhu Yan hurriedly went up to her and poked Wang Lanhua hard in the ribs.
"What are you doing?" he questioned in a low voice. "This is inside an instance, did you fucking forget? Are you intentionally trying to make me fail the mission?"
Wang Lanhua froze.
Damn it, her memory was failing in her old age; she really had almost forgotten.
It was all because of these two newly arrived women.
They almost made her blow her cover!
Wang Lanhua looked at "Feng Yaozu" in front of her, showing a doting, fawning smile.
She turned back around, turned on the stove with a click, and dumped the two hearts into it. Then, she hurriedly pulled Zhu Yan to the side, rubbing her hands together in embarrassment.
"Son, look at your mom's memory, I forgot."
She was a bit flustered, but the moment her gaze met the outside, her face fell again.
"Son, Mom will drug the drinks for these two women outside."
"Once you finish eating the meat, go to the room and suck them dry."
"What do you think?"
That was exactly what he wanted.
One of these two was very noisy, and the other had a weird ability; having them pass out was just perfect.
Zhu Yan nodded, revealing a smile. "Mom always has the best ideas."
But the ones being sucked dry wouldn't be these two; the only one being sucked dry would be Wang Lanhua.
Seeing her "son" smile, Wang Lanhua smiled too.
"Hehe, son. Once this instance is over and the real culprit who made your dad disappear returns, can we go back to living our lives?"
"Son, have you figured out what kind of people those two players are?"
In Wang Lanhua's heart, there was absolutely no possibility that her old man had been killed.
Are you kidding me? His ability was Telekinesis!
In the first instance, the old man had used this ability to kill all the other players and pull out the monster's intestines to survive.
Wang Lanhua's eyes were dark and cold.
"I don't know what tricks these two used. What do you mean disappear? Where exactly is your dad locked up?"
Zhu Yan glanced at the boiling pot and curled the corners of his mouth in amusement.
"Never mind that. Mom, I also believe we can find that old thing."
"I have a premonition. When this instance is about to end, he will naturally appear."
In an instant, Wang Lanhua's heart was filled with a sense of security.
Thank goodness her son was here.
Otherwise, she really would have been at a complete loss!
Thinking of this, Wang Lanhua started calling out, "Aiyo, aiyo."
"My precious darling, go wait for dinner. Mom will handle things here, I definitely won't let you down!"
It was settled.
Zhu Yan nodded and didn't stay in the kitchen any longer.
He walked into the living room and quickly recalled the description of the ability Infidelity.
"...or have relations with a person or terrifying creature other than your partner, or express false love to them, and you can slowly absorb all the life energy or Thrilling Joy in their body."
This meant that as long as he accurately expressed "false love" to Wang Lanhua, he could use this ability.
Indeed.
Zhu Yan remembered the details of how Feng Yaozu got along with Feng Yuan when he was alive. Feng Yaozu always praised Feng Yuan ambiguously as a "good woman."
However, Feng Yaozu never explicitly said he liked or loved her.
Zhu Yan looked at Chen Zhaoxing lying on the sofa and Xu Tongguang sitting quietly beside him like a block of wood, deep in thought.
Feng Yaozu could do this because the two had already had relations, clearly establishing an "infidelity" connection.
But if he wanted to use Feng Yaozu's identity to do something to Wang Lanhua, it would probably be very difficult.
Because there was also a mother-son relationship involved here.
Even if Zhu Yan expressed "false love," it couldn't be considered infidelity, right!
"The meat is ready!"
On the other side, Li Mei shouted numbly.
She brought over a heaped plate. The two hearts had been sliced into grayish-pink thin pieces, completely unrecognizable from their original appearance.
Li Mei couldn't wait and stuffed two bites into her mouth. "Perfect, there's no gamey smell. Come and eat, everyone!"
Zhu Yan felt a wave of nausea.
An idea suddenly came to his mind. He walked into an adjacent bedroom and rummaged through the desk to find a piece of paper and a pen.

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.

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.”

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
