“Dad, you can't be serious, right?”
The groom, Chen Wei, drew in a sharp breath.
As a practitioner, he naturally understood the value of a top-tier immortal artifact.
That was a treasure even the City Lord's Mansion coveted!
“There’s no mistake. That’s the aura of a top-tier immortal artifact!”
Chen Chaoqian said with absolute certainty.
At the same time, his eyes were locked onto the artifact on the table, afraid it might vanish into thin air.
Liu Qianqian’s mouth slightly agape, looked at Su Bai in disbelief.
She couldn't understand how the useless man she had dumped could possess such a treasure.
If only...
If Su Bai had presented this top-tier immortal artifact as betrothal gifts back then, her mother would have probably scrubbed her clean the same night and thrown her into Su Bai’s bed!
While everyone was in shock and whispering among themselves, Su Bai retrieved the top-tier immortal artifact.
“Su Bai, what do you mean by this?”
Liu’s mother hurriedly shouted, her eyes glued to the top-tier immortal artifact.
“Originally, I did intend to gift this artifact to Liu Qianqian as a wedding present. However…”
Su Bai held the long sword, his tone shifting, “However, I’ve changed my mind now!”
His sharp gaze swept over the Liu and Chen families.
“People like you who are opportunistic, snobbish, and look down on others—you don’t deserve such a generous gift from me.”
“Even if this gift is trash in the eyes of myMaster, you still don’t deserve it!”
At this point, Su Bai abruptly turned around.
He cast one last glance at Liu Qianqian with his peripheral vision.
The last shred of reluctance in his eyes finally dissipated.
“Qianqian, goodbye.”
Farewell, forever.
However, just as Su Bai was about to leave, a low command stopped him in his tracks.
“Hold it!”
Su Bai slowly turned back to face Chen Chaoqian.
“Is there something you need?”
“Of course, you can’t leave right now!”
Chen Chaoqian said, signaling with his eyes. The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion immediately surrounded him.
Ignoring the encirclement, Su Bai coldly asked, “May I ask, City Lord, why I can’t leave?”
Chen Chaoqian sneered coldly.
“You can leave, but leave the sword behind.”
Su Bai said, “This sword is mine. Are you trying to steal it openly?”
Chen Chaoqian snorted heavily, speaking with righteous indignation.
“Who says this sword is yours? That’s clearly an ancestral treasure of the Chen family, and you dare to steal it on our grand occasion in front of everyone? Do you think the Chen family is blind?”
After speaking, he turned to Chen Wei and asked, “My son, isn’t this our ancestral treasure?”
Chen Wei paused for just a moment before loudly agreeing, “Yes, Father. This is indeed the ancestral treasure of our Chen family!”
Then, pointing at Su Bai, he shouted harshly, “Quickly return our ancestral treasure, or you’ll never leave the City Lord’s Mansion alive today!”
Su Bai laughed loudly upon hearing this.
He never expected someone could be so shameless.
“Su Bai, what are you laughing at? Do you think the City Lord would frame you?”
As he spoke, Chen Chaoqian turned to the crowd. “Everyone, let’s be reasonable here. How could a mere little attendant like him possess a top-tier immortal artifact?”
The crowd below chimed in one after another.
“The City Lord speaks the truth. That artifact isn’t Su Bai’s.”
“Su Bai, hand over the artifact, or I’ll dismember you!”
“That artifact clearly belongs to the City Lord’s Mansion. I saw it when I visited not long ago!”
“…”
Amidst the tide of accusations, Liu Qianqian approached Su Bai.
She whispered softly, “Su Bai, you… you should just hand over the sword.”
Su Bai smiled brightly and asked, “So, you too believe this sword is an ancestral treasure of the Chen family?”
Liu Qianqian couldn’t meet Su Bai’s eyes and lowered her head.
She whispered, “The arm can’t twist against the thigh…”
In fact, everyone present was well aware.
This top-tier immortal artifact belonged to Su Bai.
But in this world where strength was king, power ruled everything.
Chen Chaoqian was a supreme expert of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm.
Even if they knew he was falsely accusing, no one dared to speak out, choosing instead to support him.
“What a fitting saying, ‘The arm can’t twist against the thigh’!”
Su Bai slowly turned around, holding the sword aloft. “The top-tier immortal artifact is here. Anyone bold enough can come and take it!”
“Hmph!”
Chen Chaoqian sneered, “Since you’re courting death, don’t blame me!”
With that, he signaled with a wave of his hand.
A dozen Heavenly Immortal Realm experts rushed at Su Bai.
But just as everyone thought Su Bai would be subdued instantly by the City Lord’s Mansion guards, Su Bai swayed his body.
Without any apparent movement, the dozen experts all spurted blood and flew backwards.
“This brat does have some skills. Let me, the City Lord, personally deal with him!”
With a low shout, Chen Chaoqian’s aura surged.
He pointed at Su Bai.
The space tore apart as his finger sliced through the air.
If this strike landed, even a Star Immortal Realm expert would perish instantly.
Yet, Su Bai remained calm.
He drew his sword, and the sword aura surged like a tidal wave.
The next moment, Chen Chaoqian let out a scream.
“My arm!”
The crowd saw that Su Bai’s sword had cleanly severed one of Chen Chaoqian’s arms!
Seeing this, Liu Qianqian’s eyes widened, her hands tightly covering her mouth to stifle her scream.
Su Bai’s power made him seem alien, unrecognizable.
Was this still the clumsy fool from before?
“Father!”
Seeing his father injured, Chen Wei quickly rushed over to support him.
Chen Chaoqian gritted his teeth and took out a jade flute from his bosom, saying, "Quick, summon the ancestor!"
He never expected Su Bai to be so powerful, far beyond his imagination.
The only way to handle this now was to call the ancestor.
“Ah, okay!”
Chen Wei fumbled with the flute and blew it forcefully.
Not long after, a rift tore open in the sky.
An old man with white hair and dressed in black stepped out from the rift.
The overwhelming aura instantly spread throughout the space, making everyone below feel like they couldn’t breathe.
A True Immortal Realm expert!
Everyone’s hearts raced as they gazed upon the white-haired old man, as if looking at a deity.
This was a true immortal!
So, when the old man appeared, everyone knelt on the ground, prostrate.
Only Su Bai remained standing, looking out of place.
“Get down quickly! Do you not want your life?”
Liu Qianqian knelt on the ground, whispering urgently to Su Bai.
Su Bai shook his head and said calmly, “Perhaps the Master can easily take my life, but with them… that’s not enough…”
“You’re beyond reasoning!”
Liu Qianqian bit her lip and no longer paid attention to him.
The True Immortal old man descended and stood proudly in the air.
He looked at Chen Chaoqian and said, “Why did you summon me here?”
Chen Wei quickly explained the situation, embellishing the details a bit, then pleaded, “Please, Ancestor, seek justice for your descendants. Kill this villain, retrieve the artifact, and avenge my father’s severed arm!”
After hearing this, the Chen ancestor felt a doubt arise.
When did the Chen family acquire such an ancestral top-tier immortal artifact?
Why wasn’t I aware of it?
Then he carefully examined Su Bai, who stood still in place. Their eyes met, and in that instant, he felt like he had been struck by lightning.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed into the depths of his mind, nearly scattering his soul!
He was horrified.
The young man in front of him was also a True Immortal Realm expert.
Moreover, his cultivation level was so profound that even the Chen ancestor couldn’t gauge it!
If the two were to fight, the Chen ancestor feared he wouldn’t last ten rounds against Su Bai!
Realizing this, the Chen ancestor immediately retracted his aura.
From his former divine demeanor, he transformed back into a humble subject.
In the incredulous eyes of the crowd, he directly walked up to Su Bai and respectfully bowed deeply.
“Junior Chen Wu pays his respects to the senior.”

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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.”
