Hazuki's Arrival

"Alright, you'll be staying here from now on, right across from Little Ke." After breakfast, Ye Chuan pushed open a door to reveal a decently furnished room—though his house didn’t look particularly large from the outside, the interior space could expand infinitely as needed.

The catch? You had to splurge on the renovation system.

Ye Yue curiously examined the room’s layout, her crimson eyes flickering briefly before she clung to Ye Chuan’s arm, her voice dripping with sweetness.

"I want to share a room with you, Brother."

"No."

"Fine." Ye Yue obediently withdrew her hands and lightly stepped into her own room.

With Ye Yue’s arrival, the complete tenant information appeared.

[New Tenant: Ye Yue has successfully moved in]

[Tenant: Ye Yue

Strength: None

Status: Normal

Daily Income: None, but high chance of obtaining ???-type items

Daily Points Earned: 999

…]

Ye Yue’s Current Affection: 9999 (Affection affects system rewards, task interactions, and behavior toward you)

Ye Yue’s Current Trust: 9999 (Trust affects the character’s loyalty; too low may result in departure)

[Due to the tenant’s affection, you have gained a special bond ability]

[Cognitive Corruption: Inflicts unlimited simultaneous debuffs on any target—poison, paralysis, fear, hypnosis, exhaustion, sluggishness, bleeding, confusion, dizziness, armor break, silence, weakness, corrosion, blindness… Unavoidable and permanent.]

Ye Chuan was stunned.

Huh?

After Ye Yue moved in, he’d somehow synced with her Cognitive Corruption ability?

"Seems pretty overpowered," Ye Chuan mused, rubbing his chin.

Plus, while Ye Yue didn’t provide money, she gave the highest points.

Debuff the enemy first, then stack buffs on himself.

Weaken them, strengthen himself.

"Time to soar." Ye Chuan opened his skill list. With Ye Yue’s Cognitive Corruption, his combat power had clearly leveled up.

"Brother, I don’t have any clothes to change into," Ye Yue said, stepping out again.

"No problem. There are plenty of girls here—I’ll ask them to lend you some," Ye Chuan replied with a smile.

"No." Ye Yue immediately shook her head, hugging Ye Chuan’s waist and whining, "I want your clothes, okay? Please?"

"Brother~" Her voice was sugary sweet.

His clothes?

“Well… I guess that’s fine,” Ye Chuan said, unable to resist her acting cute. He fetched some of his own clothes. “But will these even fit you?”

"This one." Ye Yue took his T-shirt and hugged it tightly.

"Alright then."

Ye Chuan didn’t forget to customize Ye Yue’s room decor. After paying, all he had to do was wait a bit.

While Ye Yue settled in, Ye Chuan returned to his own room.

Sitting on the edge of his bed, he exhaled slowly before calling out, "Granny Lilith?"

The jade pendant gave no response.

"Guess she bit the dust after running out of power?" Ye Chuan sighed. "Lilith, I’ll burn some incense for you. Thanks for the help."

"I’m not dead."

A violet light coalesced in front of him, forming Lilith’s figure.

Her eyes were full of disdain. "It was just a clone running out of energy, and you’re already writing me off?"

"Ahaha, just kidding," Ye Chuan said, knowing full well the strand of hair had been a clone.

He then asked about Ye Yue.

"Her power belongs to an Outer God," Lilith said, twirling a lock of her hair as she gazed out the window.

"Bringing an Outer God’s power back… I can’t say if it’s good or bad."

Originally, Lilith had planned to dissolve it with the Root, but Ye Chuan had charged in and dragged Ye Yue back instead.

"It’s not a bad thing," Ye Chuan said with a grin.

"…" Lilith looked at him with exasperation. "Outer Gods… aren’t something you can control just with family bonds."

But she didn’t elaborate further, instead holding out her pale hand. "Soul essence."

"Huh?"

"Soul essence," Lilith repeated flatly. "You said you entered that world to collect soul energy for me."

"Uh…" Ye Chuan scratched his cheek. "That world didn’t seem to have many spirits…"

Lilith’s eyes turned into dots, a clear sign she was furious.

After wasting one of her clones, gaining nothing, and even suffering soul damage, anger was inevitable.

Seeing Lilith puff up her cheeks, Ye Chuan leaned closer. "Don’t worry, Lilith. I’ll get you soul essence. It’s not like that world’s the only place with it."

"Liar." Lilith turned her head away.

Then she kicked Ye Chuan lightly and dissolved into a violet streak, retreating into the jade pendant. No matter how much he called, she refused to come out.

"She’s mad." Ye Chuan pulled out his phone and opened the points store, checking if there was a "Key of the Bizarre" to access a soul essence farming dungeon.

"Hmm…"

"Why is it always useless junk?"

"Must be because Lan Xiaoke’s too weak."

Meanwhile, Lan Xiaoke, curled up in her room gaming, suddenly shivered and sneezed. "Huh? I’ve got a bad feeling about this."

The next second, her door slammed open as Ye Chuan’s voice boomed, "Little Ke! Have you broken through yet?!"

"I-I just reached Crystal Tier yesterday?!" Lan Xiaoke blinked in confusion.

"Not good enough. Can’t you hit Golden Core now?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Impossible!!"

"Come on, I’ll train you." Ye Chuan scooped her up by the waist and marched out, her unbound Xuezi bouncing with each step.

"Ah—! I-I’m not ready yet! Nooo!" Still clutching her mouse, Lan Xiaoke stared longingly at her monitor as Ye Chuan dragged her outside.

Just then, Ye Chuan’s phone rang.

He glanced at it—a message from Wang Yanran.

Wang Yanran: Urgent situation. Ye Chuan, can you talk?

Ye Chuan set Lan Xiaoke down, and she immediately wriggled back to her computer like a caterpillar.

"What’s up?" Ye Chuan called Wang Yanran, who picked up instantly.

"Last night, some strange rifts appeared. They seem accessible. Want to check them out?" Wang Yanran said.

Rifts you could just walk into?

"Sure, come pick me up," Ye Chuan said after a pause. "Wait, you’re not already outside, are you?"

"Ah, no," Wang Yanran chuckled.

"Good."

Ding-dong. The doorbell rang.

Ye Chuan: "…"
