After a while, Bai Qianshuang finally seemed to snap out of her trance. Her body hovered mid-air as if struck by sudden enlightenment. "…"
She immediately sat down to meditate, and the surrounding spiritual energy began pouring into her body in an unending stream.
Ye Chuan noticed her state and smirked. Could she be having another epiphany?
"No way… Is she really going to surpass me in cultivation again?" Ye Chuan crossed his arms, feeling a sense of unease. Given Bai Qianshuang’s unparalleled aptitude for breakthroughs, it wasn’t impossible.
The training room was safe, and the Spirit Gathering Array was functioning normally—
Ye Chuan reached out, initially intending to check Bai Qianshuang’s pulse, but ultimately withdrew his hand. "Alright, Qianshuang, you can cultivate here."
As he spoke, he adjusted the training room’s environment, transforming it into a breathtaking cliffside landscape—misty clouds drifting over towering peaks.
The scenery was beautiful, and so was the person.
Bai Qianshuang’s hair fluttered gently in the wind as multicolored spiritual energy continued flowing into her.
As a natural-born Dao Body, she could harness all elemental energies—much like Ye Chuan himself.
Pushing open the training room door, Ye Chuan stepped out.
"Done already, Chuan?"
"Brother."
Luo Xi and Ye Yue were clearly surprised by how quickly Ye Chuan had emerged.
Hadn’t…
it only been a short while?
"Yeah, Qianshuang couldn’t take it anymore—she collapsed almost instantly," Ye Chuan said with a laugh.
"…?"
Something about that statement felt oddly suggestive.
By evening, Ke Ning finally emerged from her room after holing up all day. Her hair was disheveled, and a floating Rubik’s cube hovered beside her.
She barely spared a glance at the new girl in the house, heading straight for the fridge to grab a bottle of cold milk.
"Gulp gulp gulp—" After downing it in one go, she leaned against the fridge and let out a long sigh. "Ahhh."
"Rare to see you come out just for milk," Ye Chuan remarked from the couch.
"Ran out of coffee. Get me some beans if you can," Ke Ning said.
"Don’t they have energy drinks in the future or something?" Ye Chuan asked.
"Caffeine and taurine are still the mainstream," Ke Ning replied lazily. "Though some people opt for body modifications to run on pure energy instead."
She paused, finally turning her gaze to Ye Yue. "Hmm… Did Lan Xiaoke lose weight?"
Adjusting her glasses, she added,
"It’s true that breast fat shrinks when you diet."
Ye Yue blinked in confusion.
"That’s Ye Yue, not Lan Xiaoke," Ye Chuan said, exasperated. "Do they even look alike?"
The two were nothing alike—unless you counted height. Even then, Lan Xiaoke had white hair, while Ye Yue’s was a pale gray.
"Mm…" Ke Ning tilted her head. "Really? Wait, what does Lan Xiaoke look like again?"
"Who’s callin’ me?" Lan Xiaoke popped her head out from around the corner.
"No one called you," Ye Chuan said, spotting her at last. "Come on, I’m taking you to train."
Lan Xiaoke had only come out to check if dinner was ready. At Ye Chuan’s words, she immediately waved her hands and grinned.
"Aiya, no need to be so formal! I’ll just head back now, won’t disturb ya—"
Before she could retreat, Ye Chuan grabbed her and tucked her under his arm like a caught chicken.
"Hmph. Trying to run?"
Lan Xiaoke hung limp, limbs dangling like a defeated hen.
"Save me, save me~"
Luo Xi, seeing her pitiful plea, flashed a bright smile and gave a thumbs-up. "Exercise is good for you, Xiaoke! I’m with Chuan on this one."
"Brother’s holding a girl like that…" Ye Yue, meanwhile, stared intently at the way Ye Chuan was carrying Lan Xiaoke.
She hadn’t even gotten that treatment yet.
"Wuu~"
"Enough whining. Break through to the Golden Core tonight, and I’ll reward you with a million."
"A million?! But I just hit Crystallization yesterday!"
After Ye Chuan’s brutal training session, Lan Xiaoke’s cultivation hadn’t advanced—instead, she lay sprawled on the ground like melted rubber, utterly spent.
"That’s enough for today." Though her cultivation hadn’t improved, her foundation had solidified.
Ye Chuan decided to make training Lan Xiaoke part of his daily routine.
Her strength directly affected the refresh rate of special items in the Otherworld—and the Otherworld was, in some way, connected to the great Lilith.
A treasure at home was like having an elder’s wisdom.
Ye Chuan deeply respected Lilith’s power—after all, even his Chaos Body couldn’t withstand her world-ending magic.
That night, after a few drinks, Luo Xi passed out drunk on the bed.
Meanwhile, Ye Chuan checked his phone as the clock struck midnight.
Rewards rolled in—money was whatever, but the real prizes were the updated items.
Today’s haul was the usual assortment of trinkets, but with Ye Yue’s icon added, he could now see her chibi avatar.
The tiny version of Ye Yue looked adorable, though for some reason, red tentacles swayed rhythmically around her.
"Huh?" Ye Chuan noticed Ye Yue’s activity log.
[Ye Yue is listening to sounds from brother’s room.]
[Ye Yue is peeking into brother’s room.]
[Ye Yue is watching you.]
[Ye Yue is watching you.]
…
Ye Chuan: "…?"
He blinked, instinctively scanning his surroundings—but nothing seemed amiss.
Extending his spiritual sense, he found Ye Yue lying innocently in bed.
Was the log glitched?
Narrowing his focus, he scrutinized the room more carefully—until his gaze landed on a mosquito clinging to the wall.
Tiny red threads coiled around the insect’s body, as if it had been parasitized.
"Ye Yue, wanna sleep together?"
The mosquito exploded, its remains coalescing into a mass of flesh that quickly reformed into Ye Yue’s figure.
She looked up at him with feigned innocence. "Brother~ You caught me?"
"Don’t do this," Ye Chuan said.
"I just want to be near you~" Ye Yue stared at her toes.
"Fine. Grab a pillow and come here."
"Okay!"
…
Ye Chuan had a headache dealing with this adopted monster of a sister. Still, at least she listened to him and didn’t act out.
Probably?
"Goodnight, brother." Ye Yue nestled against his arm and closed her eyes, looking every bit like a normal girl.
With a sigh, Ye Chuan picked up his phone again.
Whatever. Time to game.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
