Leaving the dessert shop with Bai Qianshuang and Lan Xiaoke, Ye Chuan also bought them a few outfits. Most of them were for Bai Qianshuang, as the majority of the sizes didn't fit Lan Xiaoke.
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe, it's too tight!" Sure enough, Lan Xiaoke wasn't suited for those clothes; even a regular shirt had several of its buttons pop off.
Although Ye Chuan loved the view, he couldn't expect Lan Xiaoke to walk down the street in clothes like that. So in the end, he only bought clothes for Bai Qianshuang. As for Lan Xiaoke, he would have to find a professional designer to custom-make hers.
"I wanna wear those cute clothes too," Lan Xiaoke muttered. Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, she added, "Hey, I'll ask Ke Ning and see if she can invent something specifically for shrinking."
While Lan Xiaoke was muttering to herself, Ye Chuan spoke up, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing!" Lan Xiaoke said. "I just wanna ask Ke Ning if she can do a breast reduction surgery for me."
Hearing this, Ye Chuan glanced at her—honestly, from his perspective, Lan Xiaoke's figure was absolutely on the level of a stat monster—and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"If you really don't like it, go ahead and ask."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"But then wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to drink milk tea later?"
"It doesn't matter," Ye Chuan said, reaching out to rub Lan Xiaoke's head. "It's not like I actually treat you as a pet. If you really don't like it, go ahead. I respect your decision."
Lan Xiaoke blanked for a few seconds, then her face suddenly turned red. "Hehe... If you like it, Ye Chuan, then I won't go."
Seeing Lan Xiaoke acting all coy and shy, Ye Chuan pinched her chubby, baby-fat cheek. "You always act on whatever pops into your head."
Afterward, Ye Chuan glanced at the time and asked, "So what's the plan? Should we go home or catch a movie?"
Lan Xiaoke raised her hand. "Watch a movie!"
Hearing this, Bai Qianshuang said, "Eat dinner."
Lan Xiaoke chose to watch a movie, while Bai Qianshuang came up with a third option. However, it was still a bit too early for dinner, and they had just eaten dessert.
"Hmm... How about we watch a movie, and then it'll be just in time for dinner?" Ye Chuan asked Bai Qianshuang with a smile. "What do you think?"
Bai Qianshuang hesitated for a few seconds before finally saying, "I'm not hungry."
"It's just that those ingredients are all alone in the restaurant's fridge, and I want to go rescue them a little earlier, that's all."
Bai Qianshuang's playful remark left Ye Chuan stunned for a moment before he couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, watching a movie wouldn't leave Bai Qianshuang hungry either. After all, there were plenty of snacks at the ticket counter. After buying three movie tickets, Ye Chuan also bought two large buckets of popcorn.
"Let's go."
"Mhm."
"What movie are we watching?" Lan Xiaoke asked curiously.
"I think it's called Creation of the Gods or something... It's about immortals and stuff like that." Ye Chuan had just bought the tickets at random. At the very least, it was billed as a special effects blockbuster, so it shouldn't be boring to watch.
After entering the screening room, Ye Chuan and the girls realized it was empty. They were the only ones there.
"Is this movie really doing that poorly? Why is there no one else here?" Seeing that the three of them had the whole theater to themselves, Lan Xiaoke couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"It might be because today is a workday, and the movie has already been out for a while." Since that was the case, they casually found some good seats, sat down, and started watching.
Soon, the surroundings went dark.
Crunch, crunch, crunch. The faint sound of Bai Qianshuang eating popcorn echoed in the room.
The movie quickly began.
However, Ye Chuan soon realized something was wrong. As time went on, the vast majority of the movie was actually about the generals from opposing sides falling in love. As for the special effects, they were practically nonexistent.
"They're falling in love again, Ye Chuan," Bai Qianshuang said softly. "Why do these shows always have to include romance plots?"
"Huh? Isn't this supposed to be about the Creation of the Gods? Why are they romancing each other?" Ye Chuan's mouth twitched. After all, it was a movie he picked at random, and he never expected the plot to be entirely focused on romance.
The two armies were slaughtering each other, yet the male and female leads were busy being in love, showing absolutely no signs of stopping.
"These special effects are worse than if I just went up there and shot sword energy myself." Even Bai Qianshuang was finding the boring movie hard to swallow. She turned her head to look at Ye Chuan.
"Ye Chuan, the movie isn't very good..."
"Bear with it a little longer. What if it gets better later on?" Ye Chuan said.
However, Ye Chuan's guess was completely wrong. The movie currently showed that the civilians in the male lead's city were about to be massacred by a magical formation, yet the male lead was hesitating to break the formation because it would mean attacking the female lead.
Just the few shots of them making eyes at each other took up a considerable amount of time.
Even though his own people were about to die, it somehow couldn't compare to the male lead's romantic feelings.
"..." Ye Chuan pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yeah, it really isn't very good. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lan Xiaoke was also bored out of her mind. She turned to Ye Chuan. "Ye Chuan, I wanna drink milk tea."
"Mhm, go ahead."
Lan Xiaoke picked up the straw. After taking a few sips and realizing nothing was coming up, she adjusted the angle. "Mmm..."
In the end, she simply used her chest to press down on the straw.
"Xiaoke... do you not want to watch the movie anymore?" Bai Qianshuang asked.
"Ugh, it's so boring. I don't wanna watch it... I might as well play on my phone," Lan Xiaoke mumbled, clearly feeling that the movie was incredibly dull.
"Xiaoke..." Bai Qianshuang originally wanted to say something else, but she looked around. It seemed that because the movie was so boring, there was absolutely no one else here at this time.
"Ye Chuan... the movie is almost over, right?" Bai Qianshuang asked Ye Chuan.
"Yeah, probably..." At this point, Ye Chuan's mind was completely off the movie. After all, with such a boring plot, the actors' performances were worse than if Lan Xiaoke had gone up there to act.
He patted Lan Xiaoke's head. "If you don't want to watch the movie, let's leave early, okay? Finish your milk tea."
"Mhm, got it," Lan Xiaoke said, then continued to look down and play on her phone, completely ignoring the movie.
Soon, as the surrounding lights came back on, the movie finally ended.
"Phew, we can finally get out of here." Lan Xiaoke giggled and finished the rest of her milk tea. Now they could head straight out of the cinema.
"The popcorn is all gone too," Bai Qianshuang said. The popcorn bucket in her hands had long since been emptied.
"Let's go. Time to eat," Ye Chuan said.
However, Lan Xiaoke let out a burp. "Ugh, I shouldn't have drank all that milk tea. Qianshuang, do you want to taste the flavor in my mouth?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Bai Qianshuang.
"No thanks..." Bai Qianshuang felt that was a bit weird and shook her head. "If I want to drink some, I can get it myself."
"Oh~~~ alright then."

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...

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
