Seeing Ye Chuan effortlessly deal with those Spirit Transformation cultivators and dozen-odd Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Qianshuang finally relaxed completely, clinging to him like a koala without moving an inch.
"Qianshuang, how much longer are you going to hold on?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile when she remained silent.
"I want... to keep holding you," Bai Qianshuang murmured softly.
"Alright then." Ye Chuan supported her by the hips but didn’t forget to tease, "Should we find an inn so you can keep holding me?"
"No..." she replied flatly.
A full hour passed before Bai Qianshuang slowly lifted her face from Ye Chuan’s chest, her long lashes fluttering. At that moment, she looked like a lazy little kitten in his eyes.
"Ye Chuan... how did you find me?"
Ye Chuan hadn’t entered the teleportation array back then, so Bai Qianshuang wasn’t entirely clear about what happened afterward. She only knew he had arrived incredibly quickly.
"How did I find you?" Ye Chuan chuckled before recounting his journey across the Endless Demon Sea.
"The Endless... Demon Sea? Alone?" Bai Qianshuang could hardly believe he’d gone that far—the Endless Demon Sea was practically a graveyard for human cultivators. Though slightly less deadly than the Forbidden Zone of the central region, it was still no place for a lone traveler.
The thought of Ye Chuan risking so much for her made Bai Qianshuang tighten her grip on his clothes.
"What if something had happened to you...?"
"If it had, it wouldn’t have mattered," Ye Chuan said. "For you, it was worth it."
His words sent a shiver through her body, and she buried herself deeper into his embrace like a quail, refusing to move.
Earlier, Ye Chuan had also been searching for Bai Qianshuang. The logs only mentioned her arrival in the city, not her exact location. While spiritual sense was useful, most cultivators concealed their energy, so he hadn’t initially detected her presence in Blackwind Valley.
It wasn’t until the clash between Bai Qianshuang and the Qingyun Sect elders that Ye Chuan sensed the surge of spiritual energy and teleported over. Recognizing her golden lotus technique, he intervened and saved her.
"But why did you come here?"
Bai Qianshuang explained about the remnants of the Jade Void Sect. Hearing this, Ye Chuan recalled the fake "Bai Qianshuang" he’d encountered among the Jade Void Sect survivors before.
[Some imitate my face, some imitate my name.]
"Hmm..." Ye Chuan fell into thought. Just who was that impostor he’d met last time?
"What’s wrong?" Bai Qianshuang asked, noticing his pensive expression.
Ye Chuan shared the details of his previous encounter. Learning that someone had impersonated her, her eyes flickered with contemplation.
"What is it?"
"I... also wonder who that person could be," Bai Qianshuang murmured, shaking her head. She seemed to have an inkling but wasn’t entirely sure.
"Let’s not dwell on it for now. We’ve killed quite a few Qingyun Sect members—they’ll send reinforcements soon," Ye Chuan said. "Let’s rest at a nearby inn first."
"Alright." Bai Qianshuang nodded softly.
......
In Dongyou City, Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang booked a room to rest.
As he settled in, Ye Chuan wondered if he could log out—ideally, taking Bai Qianshuang with him.
"What’s on your mind, Ye Chuan?"
"Ahem, I want to try something. Let’s see if we can return home to rest before coming back to continue our adventures in the Tianxuan Continent," he explained openly, even waving his phone in front of her.
But from Bai Qianshuang’s perspective, his hand was empty. She tilted her head slightly. "We can... travel back and forth?"
If so, wasn’t that incredibly powerful?
"Want to give it a try?" Ye Chuan grinned.
"I’m... willing." She gave a small nod.
Ye Chuan wasn’t worried about losing track of Bai Qianshuang even if he logged out—the save point would remain here.
He initiated the save.
[Would you like to bring tenant [Bai Qianshuang] with you?]
It worked!
Tianxuan Continent—logging out.
......
......
......
When Ye Chuan opened his eyes again, he and Bai Qianshuang were lying on a bed, staring at a familiar ceiling.
"Looks like we’re back," he muttered. Turning his head, he found Bai Qianshuang propped up on the bed, her luminous eyes fixed on him.
"What is it?" he asked, noticing her gaze.
"Ye Chuan, you have many secrets," she said, lightly poking his cheek with a finger.
"Everyone has secrets," he laughed.
Suddenly, his vision darkened as Bai Qianshuang leaned over him, her cascading hair framing her gem-like eyes.
"Ye Chuan..."
"Hmm?"
"I think... I’m lucky to have met you," she whispered.
"Me too," he replied softly.
Bai Qianshuang suddenly collapsed onto his chest, resting her cheek against him as if listening to his heartbeat.
Exhausted from the battle, her nerves finally relaxed, and she fell asleep right there.
Hearing her steady breathing, Ye Chuan blinked in surprise.
Huh?
That fast?
But as he studied her serene sleeping face, he carefully adjusted her position, cradling her in his arms.
Bai Qianshuang felt soft and pliant against him, as if she’d shed all her defenses. Her long lashes trembled slightly above the beauty mark near her eye.
"Sleep well."
Ye Chuan’s voice was unexpectedly tender—so much so that he didn’t even notice it himself.
......
The night passed without incident.
At dawn, knocking echoed at the door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Qianshuang~ Have you seen Ye Chuan? He’s missing~"
Ye Chuan, still holding the slumbering Bai Qianshuang, noted how deeply she slept, showing no signs of waking.
"Qianshuang?" The door creaked open, and Lan Xiaoke’s head peeked through the gap.
The next second, she saw Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang sharing the bed.
Lan Xiaoke: "..."
Ye Chuan: "..."
Lan Xiaoke’s head instantly retreated. "My bad~ Should I fetch some condoms?"
"Get back here first."

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? 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."
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.
