"Woo~"
"Woo~~"
After automatically resurrecting, Lan Xiaoke kept pinching her arms and thighs, her eyes sparkling as if she were dreaming.
"Did I really come back to life?" Lan Xiaoke looked left and right, flapping her arms a few times in an attempt to float, but failed.
"Qianshuang, Qianshuang, look! Am I really alive?"
During breakfast, Bai Qianshuang glanced at Lan Xiaoke’s current state and nodded lightly.
"Mhm, you’re definitely human now."
"That sounds kinda weird." Lan Xiaoke felt like there was an insult hidden in Bai Qianshuang’s words, but since the other girl clearly didn’t mean it that way, she turned to Ye Chuan instead.
"Ye Chuan, look!"
"I see. I’ve been seeing it all day." Ye Chuan had already watched her antics for several rounds. Seeing how excited she was, he reminded her,
"Forgot to mention—even though you’re alive now, you’ll have to break a lot of the habits you picked up while being a ghost."
"What habits?" Lan Xiaoke suddenly stood up. "Oh right, where’s my phone? It’s been so long… gotta collect my daily login rewards."
With that, she tried to phase through the nearby wall—only to smack her forehead against it with a crisp thud. "Ow!"
Watching the girl crouch on the ground clutching her head and sniffling, Ye Chuan remained expressionless.
"Told you. Gotta drop those ghost habits. Normal people don’t try to walk through walls."
"Wuuu~" Lan Xiaoke whimpered in pain.
But soon, her pouty expression vanished—because Bai Qianshuang had finished setting the breakfast dishes on the table. The rich aroma wafted through the air, making Lan Xiaoke’s mouth water uncontrollably.
"Can I… eat?" Lan Xiaoke double-checked.
"You can eat."
After Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang nodded, the girl eagerly grabbed a steaming char siu bao. She sniffed it—the faint, doughy fragrance made her swallow hard.
She poked the bun’s soft, pillowy exterior, her appetite instantly flaring up.
Unable to resist any longer, Lan Xiaoke took a big bite. The sweet-and-savory meat juices burst in her mouth, blending with the deep, slow-cooked richness of the filling. The tender char siu bits melted on her tongue, releasing a wave of oily deliciousness.
"Mmm!" Her eyes shimmered with moisture, her cheeks flushing red.
Then—plip, plop—fat teardrops splashed onto the table. She cried while stuffing her face with the bun, devouring it like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Sniff So good… sob… Thought I’d never get to eat again… hic… My life’s complete now."
Watching the girl bawl over a bun, Ye Chuan sat silently, unsure how to react. But after putting himself in her shoes, he could imagine it.
Years of watching others eat while she could only smell the food.
A lifetime of suppressed cravings.
Lan Xiaoke wolfed down three char siu buns in a row, then polished off a plate of cheung fun and a bowl of century egg and pork congee.
"Ahhh… woo~" She slumped back in her chair, rubbing her belly and melting into a puddle of bliss.
"Ate quite a bit," Ye Chuan remarked, though it still paled in comparison to Bai Qianshuang’s usual intake.
Meanwhile, Bai Qianshuang calmly finished the remaining breakfast, tidied the dishes, and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
She even dabbed Lan Xiaoke’s face clean, since the girl was now too blissed-out to move.
"Life’s so good… getting to eat every day." Lan Xiaoke purred like a contented kitten as Bai Qianshuang wiped her mouth.
"Eat that fast again, and you might choke to death a second time," Ye Chuan warned.
Lan Xiaoke slowly snapped out of her daze. She sluggishly stood up—only to plop down right beside Ye Chuan’s legs.
Just as he was about to ask what she was doing, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his calf in a death grip!
"Lord Ye! This humble ghost wandered half a lifetime, never finding a worthy master, her talents wasted and dreams unfulfilled!"
"If you’ll have me, I pledge my life to you!"
Ye Chuan: "……"
Oh great. After all I’ve done for you, you’re pulling a "three-surnamed servant" move on me?
"Go mop the floor." Ye Chuan flicked her forehead, and she reluctantly crawled to her feet.
Only to whack the back of her head on the table edge—thud—before faceplanting onto the ground.
"Ow ow ow…"
Ye Chuan massaged his temples. Clearly, Lan Xiaoke would need a few more days to adjust to being human again.
But now that she was alive, her info had updated too.
[Tenant: Lan Xiaoke
A student who choked to death. No special abilities, but high growth potential. Currently resurrected.]
However, the daily rewards still dropped ghost-related items. Even though her status changed, Lan Xiaoke was still tied to the supernatural.
"Oh right, almost forgot something important."
Ye Chuan hadn’t claimed the mission reward for resurrecting Lan Xiaoke yet. He pulled up the interface.
[Resurrect Lan Xiaoke (Completed)]
[Claim]
[Congratulations! Obtained: Skill Evolution Card (Ghost Phasing)]
[Item: Skill Evolution Card (Ghost Phasing)
Effect: Upgrades the skill [Ghost Phasing] with personalized enhancements.
Special Unit: Lan Xiaoke]
Huh?
This was the first time he’d seen a "personalized upgrade" option.
"Ghost Phasing is already busted—gives me ten minutes of invincibility."
"Personalized upgrade?"
"Does it extend the duration?"
Ye Chuan immediately used the card.
[Upgrade successful.]
[Skill: Ghost Phasing (Special)
Enter a phased state, becoming immune to most physical attacks. Magic resistance -50%. Duration: 10 minutes.
Special Effect: If [Lan Xiaoke] is nearby and alive, both units share the Ghost Phasing effect, and its duration becomes infinite.]
…What?
What is this?
Did I read that right?
Ten minutes extended to infinite?
"Holy hell, Lan Xiaoke’s this OP?" Ye Chuan was stunned.
"Where am I OP?" Lan Xiaoke’s head popped up from beside the table.
"Nowhere. Just said you sing well."
"Me?"
Ye Chuan reread Ghost Phasing’s effects, double-checking. Finally, it clicked—the skill negated most physical attacks, and with Lan Xiaoke around, it lasted indefinitely.
"If I can keep Xiaoke safe, I can stay in a near-invincible state forever?" Ye Chuan regretted not resurrecting her sooner.
This was beyond broken.
The only weakness was Lan Xiaoke herself—as long as she lived, he couldn’t die.

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
