Under Ye Chuan's gaze, Xiao Yang grabbed onto his pant leg and then wobbled to her feet.
A petite young girl, yet she erupted with an incredibly resolute willpower. With great difficulty, she stretched out her hand, as if using the last of her strength, and firmly grasped the transformation device in Ye Chuan's hand.
"I can... I can do it."
"I..."
Seeing Xiao Yang's consciousness begin to blur, yet her hand still gripping the transformation device tightly, Ye Chuan suddenly revealed a faint smile. "Quite stubborn, aren't you."
Xiao Yang only felt the oppressive sensation around her instantly vanish, and she fell backwards as if drained of strength, finally landing on the ground with a thud. "Ah!"
But her hand still clutched the transformation device deathly tight.
Ye Chuan immediately cast a healing spell, and Xiao Yang's body recovered to its peak condition in an instant.
"I... you... Big Brother..." Xiao Yang hugged the transformation device, hesitantly standing up.
"Chuanchuan, that was too much of you. She's just a child," Luo Xi said to Ye Chuan immediately after seeing him lift the suppression of his aura.
"Yeah, yeah, bad guy Ye Chuan," Lan Xiaoke nodded in agreement beside him, like a little chick pecking at rice.
Ye Chuan didn't say much in response, merely speaking softly, "I just took a liking to this kid and didn't want her to die too soon."
"You rely on this power, but what if one day, an opponent far stronger than you appears? If you keep treating it like a game, you'll eventually die at someone else's hands," Ye Chuan said, looking at Xiao Yang.
Although Ye Chuan also relied on external power, he had many methods at his disposal, while Xiao Yang only had the transformation device.
You only have one life; you can't afford to be reckless.
"Big Brother, I understand..." Xiao Yang seemed to grasp the meaning behind Ye Chuan's actions. She hesitated for a moment. "I... I'll definitely be more careful from now on. I was too showy before. I'll definitely cherish my life."
This girl often transformed and reverted in front of others without a second thought. It was hard to guarantee she wouldn't catch the eye of someone with ill intentions.
"Give me the transformation device," Ye Chuan stretched out his hand once more.
Xiao Yang instinctively flinched, taking a few steps back and hiding the device behind her.
Seeing her wary little expression, Ye Chuan seemed amused. "Don't worry, I absolutely won't mess with it this time. Give it here."
Xiao Yang shook her head like a rattle drum. This time, no matter what Ye Chuan said, she wasn't having it.
But the next second, she felt her hand go empty. The transformation device had somehow ended up in Ye Chuan's hand.
After all, with Ye Chuan's abilities, taking something from an ordinary child was simplicity itself.
Never mind ordinary people; even the things from the Qingyun Sect were taken one by one, grabbed and gone without a second thought.
"You've really used this transformation device a lot," Ye Chuan remarked, then accessed the tech tree. He found the usage count for this device was quite high. This girl transformed at least... over ten times a day?
"Are there that many dangers in our city that you need to transform over ten times a day?" Ye Chuan asked.
Xiao Yang's face flushed bright red instantly. She hemmed and hawed, unable to get the words out, finally managing after a long struggle while poking her fingers together,
"Transforming... is really cool... and when I have nothing to do, I just transform in my room to play..."
Ye Chuan: "..."
Ye Chuan could kind of understand.
After all, some people who love tokusatsu shows, even if their toy transformation belt isn't real, will still imitate the transformation poses from TV, shouting "Transform!" or "Combine!" over and over again.
"Alright then." Ye Chuan upgraded the transformation device in his hand and then tossed it back to Xiao Yang.
"Here."
Xiao Yang caught the device and found its external design had changed dramatically. She asked hesitantly, "This is..."
"I upgraded your transformation device. It shouldn't have any problems dealing with those players now," Ye Chuan said. "You, I hope you don't forget your original intent."
"Upgraded?" Xiao Yang's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Xiao Yang said. "I... I'll pay you."
"No need," Ye Chuan shook his head, as he wasn't lacking for money anymore.
And how much money could this kid possibly have?
After the player incident was over, Ye Chuan also got into Wang Yanran's car.
As for that spider-dog pair, they were stuffed into the trunk. It was a bit of a squeeze, but it would do. Anyway, those two could shrink their size.
"Chuanchuan, you probably scared that girl earlier," Luo Xi said, thinking about what had just happened. She hadn't expected Ye Chuan to suddenly confront a young girl like that.
"It was just to remind her not to treat this kind of thing like a game," Ye Chuan said.
His actions might have been a bit harsh, but they would leave an impression on her.
Better that than her dying later.
This is the real world. Everyone only has one life.
...
...
Night, late at night.
After having Luo Xi and Lan Xiaoke consume spirit liquid for cultivation, Ye Chuan looked at the Adventure World on his phone and began to ponder.
"Hmm, I seem to have gotten a bit lazy lately." Ever since killing Qin Tianya, Ye Chuan had rarely entered the Adventure World, mostly just spending time with everyone in real life.
This kind of life was actually quite good. Constantly shuttling between different timelines did make Ye Chuan feel genuinely weary sometimes.
Holding Luo Xi in his arms, Ye Chuan ultimately decided not to enter the Adventure World and instead closed his eyes to sleep.
...
...
Ye Chuan had a dream.
"Chaos Heavenly Emperor, do you truly intend to shatter this world?!" In the dream, a clamorous voice rang in his ears.
"So what if I do?"
"You?! You would be a sinner against this world!"
"Sin? What of it? I insist on restarting the cycle anew, reshaping this world."
"You!!"
...
When Ye Chuan woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. He looked around and found himself lying in bed.
Luo Xi was already up, with only Lan Xiaoke still sleeping soundly like a little cat, purring softly.
"Sleeping so soundly." Ye Chuan couldn't help but reach out and poke Lan Xiaoke's cheek. She immediately frowned, made a murmuring sound in her sleep, and then simply rolled over.
"It's this late already, time to get up." Ye Chuan went in and finally managed to wake Lan Xiaoke.
"Mmm, no school or work to go to, can't I just sleep in?" Lan Xiaoke, having been woken up, pouted, looking rather displeased.
"But you need to cultivate, right?" Ye Chuan asked.
"I'm almost at the Nascent Soul stage. When will this cultivation ever end?" Lan Xiaoke sat up, fumbled around for a bit, and put on her clothes.
Turning back unintentionally, Lan Xiaoke noticed the dark circles under Ye Chuan's eyes. "Ye Chuan, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Huh? It was alright," Ye Chuan said, instinctively touching the area around his eyes.
"Really? You look tired." As she spoke, Lan Xiaoke yawned, finally flopping down on Ye Chuan's lap like a little cat.
"I had a dream last night," Ye Chuan thought aloud.
"What dream?"
"The details aren't clear..." Ye Chuan didn't continue,
"But it seemed... very important to me."

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
