Since I possess the power of chaos, perhaps I really am the successor of that Chaos Heavenly Emperor—
Right?
After all, this constitution was drawn by the system. Ye Chuan wasn't entirely clear about its exact connection to that Chaos Heavenly Emperor. But if that Chaos Heavenly Emperor used the same kind of power, then being recognized as such by that shadowy figure seemed like a normal thing.
"Qianshuang, let's leave this place first," Ye Chuan said to Bai Qianshuang.
"Weren't you here to collect ore?" Bai Qianshuang asked instead. Although they had ended up in such a ghostly place, she hadn't forgotten Ye Chuan's purpose for coming here.
"Yeah, I've already collected a lot," Ye Chuan nodded. "Many kind-hearted people helped me dig up quite a bit of ore earlier. I thought you were over there too, and only realized something was wrong after some time had passed."
"Kind-hearted people?"
"Mhm, those sect disciples. I just invited them as guests earlier and gave some of them a reward," Ye Chuan said.
"That's good too." Bai Qianshuang always felt that Ye Chuan encountered quite a few good people, while the cultivators she met always had ill intentions. She didn't know if it was because her luck was just bad.
However, Bai Qianshuang didn't dwell on it. It was as if she remembered something, and she took out from her ring that thing pretending to be the Luo Xuan Empress's lifebound sword.
After the demonic sword emitting black aura appeared, Ye Chuan glanced at it and then curiously asked Bai Qianshuang where she got the weapon.
"I was teleported here earlier and was almost deceived by this sword," Bai Qianshuang recounted everything that had just happened. When Ye Chuan learned that the sword wanted to seize her body as a vessel, he looked at it with a smiling gaze.
"I see."
The demonic sword's body suddenly trembled. The sword spirit's consciousness inside was obscured. Although it didn't know what was happening outside, it had a bad premonition.
"Give it to me." Ye Chuan took the demonic sword.
[Item: Demonic Sword - Heaven Severer Gold
A weapon harboring a sword spirit, seems to be incomplete.]
"It's incomplete but still has a gold quality rating?" Ye Chuan stroked his chin, then felt the demonic sword. In terms of appearance, it wasn't as flashy as the other demonic sword, but this one constantly billowing black smoke was pretty interesting too.
It was a top-grade item after all, so Ye Chuan accepted it.
"Alright, I'll help you tame this sword. Once it's fixed up, you can use it later."
Bai Qianshuang didn't say much, just gave a slight nod. For her, being able to help Ye Chuan seemed to be enough.
Ye Chuan's kindness was something she could never repay.
"Since things are pretty much settled, we should leave." Ye Chuan took Bai Qianshuang back to the location of that abyss. He pointed to the darkness above.
"I came down from up there. We can just fly straight up."
As for the deathly aura, it was no problem for Ye Chuan at all.
He held Bai Qianshuang by the waist, enveloping both of them with chaotic power, and soon flew out of this deathly realm.
By the time they emerged from the Profound Crystal Abyss, it was already very late.
"I'm hungry, Ye Chuan," Bai Qianshuang said.
"Perfect timing, shall I take you to find an inn?" Ye Chuan glanced at the Profound Crystal City not far away and asked.
Just then, Ye Chuan's sleeve was tugged. He turned around to find Bai Qianshuang shaking her head gently at him.
"Ye Chuan, I want to go home to eat."
Go home to eat...
"Go home to eat, good." Ye Chuan smiled slightly.
Then let's log off.
Tianxuan Continent, logging off!
...
...
Returning home, it was also the wee hours of the morning. Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang appeared in the room, both sitting on the edge of the bed.
Bai Qianshuang looked at the soft bed before her. Her originally tense body seemed to soften all at once, and she finally lay face down on the bed, hugging her own pillow.
A few seconds later, she rolled over once, finally resting her head on Ye Chuan's thigh.
"Ye Chuan, pet me."
Hearing this, Ye Chuan reached out and gently stroked Bai Qianshuang's head. Bai Qianshuang seemed to enjoy it very much, closing her eyes and hugging her pillow tightly.
"Weren't you hungry?"
"I want to eat barbecue," Bai Qianshuang opened her beautiful eyes and said. Then she also took out her phone and said, "I'll order."
Bai Qianshuang was quite familiar with ordering takeout by now. At this hour, it seemed only food like burgers, barbecue, and fried chicken were available.
Bai Qianshuang wasn't picky at all and ordered a lot of barbecue in one go.
"Ye Chuan, take a look, see what you want to eat." Bai Qianshuang handed her phone over. Ye Chuan glanced at it and found Bai Qianshuang had only ordered a few dozen skewers of grilled meat and two portions of fried rice.
"Eating so little? Trying to lose weight recently?"
"It's nighttime, should eat less." Bai Qianshuang touched her own abdomen. In fact, with her current cultivation level, she didn't need to worry about her figure anymore. She could maintain her desired physique anytime.
"Alright." Ye Chuan didn't ask further.
But at this hour, ordering takeout without asking the others at home didn't seem right either.
Not sure if they were asleep.
Ye Chuan took out his phone and then sent a message in the "Loving Family" group chat—
Ye Chuan: Qianshuang and I ordered barbecue takeout. Are you guys asleep? Want anything?
At first, there was no response for a few seconds, but soon the first message popped up in the group.
Ye Yue: I want some too, brother! What are you eating? Can I eat you~
Lan Xiaoke: Me too, me too! Grilled eggplant!
...
The house suddenly became lively. Since Luo Xi was staying at her own home tonight, she didn't join in, just quietly sent a sticker.

Soon, the delivery person arrived with large and small bags of takeout.
"Did something good happen today? We even have takeout?" Lan Xiaoke rubbed her hands together like a fly. Recently, she had been spending heavily on in-game purchases, and her wallet was running low on funds.
To earn money, Lan Xiaoke had recently started live-streaming her gaming, but it hadn't been very successful, with little progress.
A whole day of streaming only earned about fifty cents.
"No, it's just that Qianshuang was hungry," Ye Chuan said.
"Ye Chuan, you're so good to Qianshuang," Lan Xiaoke said. "I wish I had that privilege too."
After saying that, Lan Xiaoke put on a pitiful look. "Woo..."
"I give you quite a bit of allowance, don't I? Where did it all go?" Ye Chuan glanced at Lan Xiaoke.
"Dunno wo." Lan Xiaoke looked up at the ceiling.
Ye Yue sat obediently beside Ye Chuan eating. Her feet had currently transformed into tentacles entwining around Ye Chuan's ankles, but due to cognitive reasons, the other girls didn't find anything strange about it.
"If you don't have enough money, I still have some here," Bai Qianshuang said to Lan Xiaoke.
Lan Xiaoke immediately showed a cat-like expression, hugging Bai Qianshuang. "Qianshuang is still the best to me!"
"No." Ye Chuan directly interjected.
"NO!!!!!!!!" Lan Xiaoke fell to her knees.
"Speaking English won't work either."
"Alright then, if you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll give you a million," Ye Chuan glanced at Lan Xiaoke.
"How much?!"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
