Not only was there no expression on his face,
he even felt like laughing.
With Ye Chuan by her side, Wang Yanran wasn’t the least bit afraid. Instead, she spoke with keen interest, "Since you know who I am, do you understand what you’re doing?"
"Liberators?"
Wang Yanran was practically the public face of the Jianghai Superhuman Alliance now, and her own strength was nothing to scoff at. Did these guys really not fear her at all?
"You may be strong, but we’re no pushovers either," the leader of the group said coldly, his identity exposed. "We came to gather intel on this special rift, but we didn’t expect to run into you when all of us were together."
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He wasted no more time on courtesy, signaling for everyone to attack at once.
"Ye Yue." Ye Chuan didn’t even feel like lifting a finger.
"Got it, brother." Ye Yue, her petite figure stepping forward, smiled sweetly, her crimson eyes flickering.
The men charging toward them saw a small girl approaching and thought they wouldn’t hold back—only to suddenly black out and collapse, one after another, twitching uncontrollably.
A few others went berserk, swinging their weapons wildly at their own companions.
All of this happened in the span of a second. The eerie scene even made Wang Yanran pause for a moment.
Soon, their bones turned brittle, their skin torn apart by something crimson, transforming them into grotesque, tentacled monsters.
The creatures writhed, murmuring incoherently, before exploding in front of Ye Yue, dissolving into corrosive chunks of flesh.
"Brother, done." Ye Yue observed the scene calmly, as if she’d merely crushed a few ants.
"So this is Cognitive Corruption?" Ye Chuan found it rather amusing. After effortlessly dealing with the ambush, he considered the whole thing barely even a minor incident.
The gap in strength was too vast. In the face of absolute power, ambushes were meaningless.
Especially ones as half-baked as this.
"Should’ve kept one alive for interrogation. Next time, then," Ye Chuan said to Wang Yanran.
"Ah? Right." Wang Yanran was still processing what had just happened.
Ye Chuan’s gaze shifted to the monsters in the distance. He decided to test out the ability he’d inherited from his sister. Compared to Ye Yue’s effortless group application, his first attempt would have to be single-target.
"Cognitive Corruption." Ye Chuan unleashed it on a rhino-like monster. The next second, the beast convulsed violently as if electrocuted, its body rupturing with blood before being tainted by a purple toxin.
Countless debilitations overwhelmed the creature, reducing it to a puddle of sludge in moments.
"Huh? There’s an instant-death effect too?" Ye Chuan checked the ability’s details again and noticed a ▽ symbol. Opening it revealed a dense list of negative effects—including a lethal attribute. Given the massive gap between his level and the rhino monster’s, Cognitive Corruption had obliterated it instantly.
"Brother’s amazing." Ye Yue clapped enthusiastically beside him, curious about how he’d learned the ability.
"Not bad." Ye Chuan was satisfied with the results. He proceeded to experiment on the remaining monsters, eventually figuring out how to apply Cognitive Corruption to multiple targets at once.
The horde of creatures outside the rift, once numerous, were systematically wiped out by Ye Chuan’s trial runs.
Not to mention, Ye Yue had also devoured several of them. Her tendrils stretched endlessly, wrapping around the monsters and digesting them clean in seconds.
Wang Yanran stood to the side, speechless.
…Why did these moves feel a little sinister?
"Alright, the outside should be clear now." Ye Chuan released his spiritual sense—the area around the purple rift was devoid of monsters, though the situation inside remained unknown.
"Should we head in now?" Wang Yanran asked.
"Nah." Ye Chuan checked the time. "It’s almost mealtime. Send some people in to scout first."
He’d only come out today to test Cognitive Corruption, and the results had exceeded his expectations. The red-tier ability was downright overpowered—especially the way it ignored level differences to inflict debilitating effects.
As for the rift itself, after the incident at the Mute Academy, Ye Chuan knew his magic immunity wasn’t foolproof. Better to let some unlucky souls take the risk first.
"Mealtime…?" Wang Yanran blinked but didn’t argue.
If he wanted to eat, then so be it.
Food was life, after all.
At this point, nothing Ye Chuan did surprised her.
"Let’s go."
…
They arrived home just in time for dinner. Luo Xi, seeing Ye Chuan and Ye Yue changing shoes at the entrance, asked curiously, "Where’d you two go?"
"Maintaining public order," Ye Chuan said.
"Exactly that," Ye Yue nodded.
Public order?
Since when did Ye Chuan handle that?
"But Ye Yue, why are you wearing your brother’s clothes?" Luo Xi’s attention shifted to Ye Yue’s oversized attire. "It doesn’t look good with your thighs exposed like that. His size might work as a makeshift nightgown, but that’s about it."
On Ye Yue, Ye Chuan’s shirt hung like a dress.
"I don’t have clothes," Ye Yue said. "And I like wearing brother’s."
"Why does it feel like no one in this house has proper clothes?" Luo Xi mused aloud. She’d recently been buying outfits for Qian Shuang, Xiao Ke, and even Ke Ning. Now with Ye Yue added to the list, she had another wardrobe to handle.
"Alright, I’ll take care of your clothes!" Luo Xi clenched her fists, stepping right up to Ye Yue and placing her hands on the girl’s shoulders.
"Come on, let me tailor something that fits you properly!"
"I—I’ll wear brother’s." Ye Yue seemed overwhelmed by Luo Xi’s enthusiasm, retreating a step before hiding behind Ye Chuan.
"I told you, his clothes don’t suit you."
"They do. Very much." Ye Yue wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Chuan’s waist. "I just like wearing brother’s!"
"They don’t fit."
"That’s not the point." Ye Yue was oddly fixated on wearing his clothes.
Luo Xi straightened up, tilting her head. "Hmm…"
Ye Yue stared at her, as if ready to snap if Luo Xi pushed further.
But Luo Xi’s next words caught her off guard.
"How about this—we alter brother’s clothes to fit you. What do you think?"
Ye Yue blinked. "Alter brother’s clothes?"
"Yep."
"Then… I don’t mind that." Surprisingly, Ye Yue was open to the idea. "Can… can I have more than one?"
"Of course! He’s got piles of unworn clothes lying around."
"I want the ones he’s worn."
"That works too."
Ye Chuan watched as Ye Yue and Luo Xi discussed how to modify his wardrobe, baffled.
"Shouldn’t someone ask for my opinion?"

] 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.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
