True Fragrance

Seeing a bald man charging at him with a large machete, Ye Chuan was momentarily stunned—he couldn’t even comprehend how this guy had the audacity to do something like this.

Hadn’t he cleared out all the ghosts on this floor?

But noticing the bald man’s intent to strike his vitals, Ye Chuan didn’t let his guard down. He took a few steps back, effortlessly dodging the swing of the blade.

While he was immune to supernatural attacks, physical damage was still a threat, especially when he wasn’t sure what tricks this bald guy might have up his sleeve.

“Hah!” The bald man swung his machete several times, missing every strike. Seeing how easily Ye Chuan evaded his attacks, a look of surprise flashed across his twisted face.

“Oh? Just a rookie, yet your reflexes are this sharp?”

“…” Ye Chuan studied the trio’s gear, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. “You three have some pretty good equipment.”

Most ordinary people outside were lucky to get their hands on even a single weapon, yet this group was decked out in high-quality gear—clearly not your average folks.

“Heh heh heh.” The bald man licked his machete, eyeing Ye Chuan up and down. “Don’t worry, pretty boy. I’ll take good ‘care’ of you before I kill you.”

“For a rookie, getting your hands on a rare weapon in the beginner’s dungeon is already a stroke of luck. Too bad you ran into us.”

He shook his head, feigning pity.

“What a shame. You might’ve had a chance to go home and see your mom and dad.”

The next second, the bald man felt his vision tilt.

Then, he saw a headless body—his own—crumple to the ground.

His severed head rolled across the floor. “Huh… huh?”

Darkness swallowed his sight, and he could no longer utter another word.

Ye Chuan calmly observed the now “divided” bald man before shifting his gaze to the skinny man and the woman standing nearby. Both were frozen in shock.

How had their companion been decapitated in an instant?

“Move! He’s no rookie!” After a brief moment of stunned silence, the skinny man snapped back to reality, pulling out a rifle and unloading a hail of bullets toward Ye Chuan!

“Rat-tat-tat!”

The man’s movements were swift, but Ye Chuan didn’t underestimate the rifle. With one hand, he summoned a spiritual shield to block the bullets, while the other formed a hand seal.

The bullets dissolved upon contact with the spiritual energy, and a wooden sword shot out like lightning, slicing the skinny man in half at the waist!

“H-how… impossible!” The woman, seeing both her companions slaughtered in seconds, turned and bolted in terror.

How could he be this strong?!

No way!

“Run?”

A single word, thunderous in its weight, exploded in the woman’s mind, shattering her will.

Ye Chuan stepped toward her, releasing just a fraction of his immortal’s aura. The sheer pressure alone was enough to paralyze her.

“You three… aren’t from here, are you?” Ye Chuan finally spoke.

“I… I…”

Seeing her tremble uncontrollably, unable to form words, Ye Chuan sighed. “Never mind.”

The woman blinked, a flicker of hope rising—maybe he’d let her go? But the next moment, darkness consumed her as Ye Chuan’s spiritual energy obliterated her brain.

Ye Chuan glanced at the three corpses before summoning his spiritual energy once more.

A black mist swirled around them, and soon, the slain trio rose as shadowy clones.

“Master…”

“Tell me everything you know.” Ye Chuan was curious about the nature of this adventure world.

“Yes.”

……

……

“W-Wolfie… c-could you maybe stand a little farther away? I’m scared~” Tian Xiaotian, who had just woken up in the room, shivered at the sight of the enormous werewolf looming over her.

She’d never encountered anything supernatural before, let alone a massive monster that looked like it could snack on her like a cookie.

The wolf demon remained silent, standing motionless.

Its crimson eyes bore into Tian Xiaotian.

Yes, it was protecting her—but its intense stare only amplified her terror.

Tian Xiaotian: QWQ

Mommy, save me!

Just as she was trying to muster the courage to communicate, the sound of a door unlocking echoed through the room. Ye Chuan had returned to the dorm.

“Big bro!!!!!!” The moment the door opened, Tian Xiaotian’s ear-splitting scream tore through the air.

“Hm?” Ye Chuan paused, confused. If the wolf demon was guarding her, why was she still terrified? Then he spotted her curled up in the corner of the bed, trembling like a frightened animal.

“Still scared?” He almost laughed.

What a little coward.

She’d fit right in with the big coward back home.

With a wave of his hand, the wolf demon dissolved into black mist and vanished. Tian Xiaotian, who had been wound up like a spring, finally relaxed with a weak, “Ugh…”

“Relax. I found a way to send you home,” Ye Chuan said.

“What?” Tian Xiaotian blinked, wondering if she’d misheard.

“Big bro… you’re not joking, right?”

“No joke.” Ye Chuan explained briefly. “Long story short, defeating the final boss grants you a one-way ticket home.”

“Seriously?!” Tian Xiaotian couldn’t believe it.

“Yep. You’re going home.” Ye Chuan smirked. “Not bad for a single gold bar, huh?”

“B-but… aren’t you going home too?” Tian Xiaotian noticed he seemed to be giving the opportunity to her and couldn’t help but ask.

Home?

Ye Chuan glanced at the pop-up on his phone—he could return anytime he wanted.

“I can travel between worlds. We might run into each other again someday.” He paused. “Oh, and next time, bring more valuables. If we meet again, I might save you for a fee.”

“I will!”

As they chatted, daylight began to fade.

“Time’s up.”

[Full-Dive Adventure: You have successfully survived the second day. Return to the real world? (Leaving will not interrupt your adventure.)]

Since time would freeze the moment he left, Ye Chuan exited without hesitation.

……

Reality.

When his eyes opened again, the familiar scent of hair filled his nose.

In his arms, a delicate-looking girl in pajamas nestled against him, her breathing slow and steady.

The room was dark, quiet, and comfortable.

After the adventure, he was back in Luo Xi’s bed—the familiar warmth, the familiar softness pressing against him.

Ye Chuan buried his face deeper, the warmth and gentle bounce instantly soothing his exhaustion.

So nice.

“Mmm?” Luo Xi murmured sleepily.
