After half a month of recuperation, Yi Feng was finally able to get up and walk around slowly.
Gradually, he became familiar with the small mountain village where he was staying, and he grew increasingly acquainted with Lady Bai.
This young woman not only possessed exquisite medical skills but was also well-versed in poetry and literature. She often went to the village's small schoolhouse to teach the children. It is said that one's appearance reflects their heart; with such a compassionate, bodhisattva-like spirit, it was no wonder she possessed such breathtaking beauty.
Yi Feng was immensely grateful to this young woman for saving his life. However, hindered by his limited mobility, he could not do much to repay her, so he could only engrave this kindness in his heart for the time being.
As the days passed, Yi Feng's injuries gradually improved. He could walk slowly without relying on a cane. He and Lady Bai had grown much closer, gradually developing a mutual understanding, and his life settled into a very regular routine.
Every morning.
Yi Feng would escort Lady Bai to the schoolhouse as a small token of his gratitude. Along the way, he would be surrounded by many children from the village asking all sorts of questions. Their cheerful laughter added a great deal of vitality to the small village.
The children were innocent and pure. Naturally, they were extremely curious about Yi Feng, an outsider. Even though they had seen him many times, they always looked at him with the wide-eyed curiosity of inquisitive babies.
Yi Feng did not mind the children's noisiness. On the contrary, he really enjoyed chatting with them. Listening to their innocent laughter and chatter made him feel exceptionally relaxed and indescribably comfortable.
Unfortunately.
Every time the children asked their very first question, Yi Feng would find himself in a difficult spot.
"Big brother, what is your name?"
Surrounded by a group of curious little ones, Yi Feng wore a blank expression.
His dazed look was a mix of confusion, embarrassment, and sheer helplessness, making him feel so awkward that he wanted the ground to swallow him whole.
Seeing him like this, Lady Bai could not help but chuckle.
The children also laughed like ringing bells, chattering away all at once.
"Oh no, he still can't remember!"
"Is he completely cured yet or not?"
"Could it be that this big brother doesn't have a name?"
"Impossible! My mom says everyone has a name. Even my family's Ah Huang has a name, so how could he not have one! If you ask me, this big brother must have just forgotten!"
"Big brother looks a bit silly and dazed, why don't we just call him Ah Dai?"
"Ah Dai? Hahahaha..."
With a burst of laughter, the children began to cheer and playfully scuffle. Although they had no intention of deliberately mocking him, their innocent words and actions still revealed a bit of childhood mischief.
Faced with the children's unintentional jokes, Yi Feng appeared somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Lady Bai feigned anger and shot them a sidelong glare with her beautiful eyes.
Just a single glance revealed the demeanor of a strict teacher. Paired with her flawless appearance and bearing, she suddenly seemed sacred and inviolable, instantly freezing the group of little brats in their tracks.
In merely a moment.
The previous laughter and noise subsided. The children stood obediently to the side, not daring to make fun of Yi Feng anymore.
It was the first time Yi Feng had seen Lady Bai pretend to be angry. Although it was indeed somewhat intimidating, it unconsciously revealed a different kind of charm that left Yi Feng staring in a daze.
He was only jolted awake when Lady Bai looked back at him apologetically.
"Please don't mind them. These children mean no harm; they are just joking. They are still young and do not understand proper manners. It is my fault for not teaching them better."
Watching the young woman generously apologize, Yi Feng subconsciously cupped his hands in a returning salute.
"Lady Bai, you speak too severely."
"Children's words carry no harm, so naturally I won't mind. Besides, Ah Dai sounds quite interesting. It is a hundred times better than having no name at all, and if it can bring a smile to everyone's faces, why not embrace it?"
His posture and words carried a rather elegant and scholarly air, showing an extraordinary broadness of mind.
Seeing Yi Feng like this for the first time, a flash of astonishment passed through Lady Bai's eyes. As she smiled and nodded in agreement, she could not help but feel even more curious about him.
Yi Feng, however, did not pay much mind to this and laughingly joked with the children.
"From now on, you can all call me Ah Dai!"
"How about that name?"
Seeing his magnanimous and approachable demeanor, the children liked Yi Feng even more. Even though they began to intermittently call out the name Ah Dai, they all added the affectionate title of brother.
"Okay, okay!"
"Brother Ah Dai!"
"Big brother, let's go catch fish together some other day, okay! I know a pond with lots and lots of little fish in it!"
"I want to go too!"
"Hahahaha..."
In the blink of an eye, Yi Feng had become the king of the children.
The tall figure in white walked casually forward, accompanied by a group of laughing children. From afar, this joyful and carefree scene looked just like a beautiful painting, evoking an indescribable sense of leisure and relaxation.
Watching this scene, Lady Bai's eyes revealed a bit of gratification. Unknowingly, her curious gaze was drawn to that white-clothed back, and her red lips slightly curved into a faint smile.
At this moment.
Lady Bai felt even more certain that saving Ah Dai back then had not been a mistake.
She had originally only thought of saving a life, never expecting that Ah Dai would possess such good character and conversational grace.
This was indeed a pleasant little surprise.
Even though Ah Dai still could not remember anything, the moral character and learning he had displayed so far were more than enough to teach these children. Having another teaching colleague in the village would certainly be a good thing...
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.

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.”
