On the other side, Ye Chuan went to bed early, completely unconcerned about how his forum post might stir up discussions. Even when he saw replies, he couldn’t be bothered to respond—after all, he never cared about others’ opinions.
The night passed uneventfully, and the next day arrived.
At five in the morning, Ye Chuan found himself awake. He glanced out the window, where the world was still shrouded in gray, the sun not yet risen. The buildings stood dark, their outlines blurred in the morning mist.
The air still carried the lingering scent of the burnt quilt from the day before, yet Ye Chuan felt refreshed, not a trace of fatigue in him.
Perhaps it was because he had begun cultivating immortality—his stamina and energy seemed to recover faster than most. Though it was just a guess, Ye Chuan felt certain this was the case.
Due to his heart condition, he couldn’t remember the last time he had slept well. His body had always carried a constant weariness.
But all of that had changed with Bai Qianshuang’s arrival.
Ye Chuan picked up his phone and saw that three thousand yuan had been deposited into his account.
"With a money tree at home, wealth is never far," he mused, unable to resist a smug remark as he watched his wallet grow steadily.
Time to check on his precious money tree—what was Bai Qianshuang up to?
He opened her activity log.
[Bai Qianshuang is attacking potato chips.]
[Bai Qianshuang is attacking mochi.]
[Bai Qianshuang is…]
Ye Chuan: "…"
Bai Qianshuang had spent the entire night munching on snacks like a little hamster. The chibi version of her hadn’t stopped until every last bite was gone. Only then did she finally pause, staring blankly at the empty snack bags as if deep in thought.
After a while, she climbed into bed and began meditating.
Seeing her somewhat dejected expression, Ye Chuan hadn’t expected the girl’s appetite to be so enormous. Just last night, he had taken her on a food tour down an entire street, and even brought home a mountain of snacks afterward.
And yet, it still wasn’t enough for her.
"Ah well, as long as you’re happy," Ye Chuan rubbed his hands together, already planning to prepare even more delicious treats for her today. If he could win her over with food, all the better.
He continued scrolling through his phone. Aside from the usual income, his adventure attempts had also refreshed.
Recalling his two previous expeditions, Ye Chuan decided to be more cautious this time—he’d play it safe for at least another round.
At the very least, he needed to bring back some useful items. A thousand yuan per attempt wasn’t something to waste carelessly.
[Landing Point: Tianxuan Continent]
[You appear in the Donghua Divine Continent of the Tianxuan Continent, within a dense forest. Before you lies a pitch-black, bottomless cave. You choose…]
[1. Explore the cave.]
[2. Leave this place.]
[3. Search the surroundings.]
Having learned from his past mistakes, Ye Chuan sensed danger lurking in the cave. After a few seconds of thought, he chose to leave.
[Shortly after you retreat from the cave, a deafening roar erupts from within, followed by a terrifying screech. Something monstrous seems to dwell inside.]
[You count yourself lucky to have escaped, but as you flee, a strong metallic scent of blood fills the air. You choose…]
[1. Investigate.]
[2. Flee in another direction.]
[3. Hide.]
Faced with these options, Ye Chuan pondered briefly before choosing to run.
If there was blood ahead, it meant more deaths. Hiding might just lead to discovery by something worse. Better to keep moving.
Run when you can, play safe when you must.
Without even reaching the Qi Refining stage, Ye Chuan knew he was nothing but cannon fodder in that world. Better to bide his time and scavenge for useful items.
[You distance yourself from the area, but along your escape route, you stumble upon several corpses. Their bodies are torn apart, blood staining the ground. You choose…]
[1. Loot the bodies.]
[2. Bury them properly.]
[3. Leave immediately.]
Looting the bodies… meaning there might be treasures to claim?
Ye Chuan’s eyes lit up. Time to scavenge.
[You choose to loot the corpses and obtain: several spirit stones, a cultivation manual, and a sword.]
[Before you can finish, an enraged voice rings out behind you—a woman’s voice: "What thief dares to disrespect the dead like this? Sword, come!"]
[Your body is torn apart by a sudden surge of sword energy, reduced to dust.]
[You have died.]
[Adventure concluded. Items retrievable: 3.]
[All items have been added to your inventory.]
"Dead again."
Ye Chuan wasn’t particularly surprised. Given how these adventures worked, even fleeing nonstop could still end in sudden death. But at least he’d managed to bring back some loot this time.
Not a total loss—far better than his previous attempts.
He opened his inventory to inspect the spoils.
[Item: Spirit Stones
Ores imbued with pure spiritual energy, serving as both currency and cultivation resources in the Tianxuan Continent.]
[Item: Donghua Sword Manual
Upon learning, grants mastery of the Donghua Sect’s foundational sword techniques.]
[Item: Green Peak Sword
A low-grade magical weapon.]
A sword?
Now this was a treasure. What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t wield a sword? At the very least, he ought to learn sword flight!
Without hesitation, Ye Chuan absorbed the sword manual. The techniques within were intricate and challenging, but for him, it was as simple as clicking "confirm." The manual even included an unexpected bonus—instructions for sword flight.
Summoning the Green Peak Sword into his hand, he felt its weight—solid, with a silver-white blade and a bronze hilt.
But it was clearly inferior to Bai Qianshuang’s immortal sword. Hers glowed, radiating an ethereal aura.
"Rise," Ye Chuan commanded, channeling his spiritual energy. The Green Peak Sword wobbled unsteadily, lifting into the air—its blade tinged faintly red from his fire-attribute spiritual roots.
"Nope, not happening."
The sword quickly dropped back into his grip. Ye Chuan knew all too well that without even reaching the Qi Refining stage, controlling a flying sword was near impossible.
"Ah well, back to idle cultivation."
Time wasn’t something he lacked. His gaze then shifted to the spirit stones in his inventory.
"I’ll give these to Bai Qianshuang."
Ye Chuan didn’t need them for cultivation—his spiritual energy replenished daily, and his progress happened automatically. Better to use the stones to boost her favorability. A happy money tree meant better rewards.
But how to explain their origin?
He couldn’t just say they materialized out of nowhere.
Hmm.
Why not claim they were family heirlooms?
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
