"A companion?"
Lan Xiaoke thought for a moment.
Hmm... a pet should count as a companion, right? She rolled around on the sofa hugging a throw pillow, then said,
"I'm a pet."
"A pet... meaning?" Angelina didn't seem to quite understand the definition of a pet.
"I can tell you don't get it at all." Lan Xiaoke made a cat-like expression. "It means being a complete slacker and acting as the house mascot!"
Angelina froze for a second. "Eh? Eh?"
Isn't... isn't that just being a total parasite? Why could this busty older sister in front of her say such a thing with a face full of pride?
Angelina even doubted her own ears. "So, Sister Xiaoke, you're a pet?"
Lan Xiaoke nodded.
"Like... staying at home... um, you know... doing absolutely nothing..."
Lan Xiaoke nodded repeatedly, but a few seconds later, she suddenly realized something.
"No, I still do a little bit of work."
"I knew it." Angelina breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the girl in front of her was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
"You know how it is. Pets occasionally have to serve their masters, too," Lan Xiaoke said.
"Eh?! That's even worse than I imagined!" Angelina's worldview seemed to have taken a massive hit.
But thinking about it carefully, familiars and pets weren't exactly strange things on the Aether Continent. However, the fact that this was happening with Ye Chuan...
It made it a bit hard for Angelina to believe.
"Ye Chuan..." Angelina turned her head to look at him.
Ye Chuan didn't bother defending himself; after all, this was his true self.
"Why don't you join the pet faction too?" Lan Xiaoke patted Angelina on the shoulder.
"T-this..."
"That way, our faction will have one more person. We'll be a whole group."
"Are there really that many people?!!!!"
Angelina's ears instantly turned beet red, the color spreading from the tips of her ears all the way to her cheeks, even dyeing her neck a faint shade of pink.
She took a sudden step back, her small hands gripping the hem of her clothes, and stammered, "U-um, I'll go back to my room first!"
With that, she turned and ran off like a frightened little rabbit.
"What's wrong with being a pet? You just eat, drink, sleep, and play games." Seeing Angelina run away, Lan Xiaoke felt the girl simply didn't know a good thing when she saw it.
Perhaps it was also because Lan Xiaoke had absolutely no ambitions.
To her, getting a huge allowance every month without having to work, enjoying a long lifespan after cultivating, and being able to eat and drink whatever she wanted without any health issues—there was nothing more blissful than this.
"Look at you, you scared the poor girl away." Ye Chuan tapped Lan Xiaoke on the head.
"She just got here and doesn't understand anything yet. Why would you tell her all that?"
"Oh come on, I was just joking around." Lan Xiaoke stuck out her tongue and rubbed the spot on her head he had tapped.
"Who told her to be so easily embarrassed... Don't worry, I won't say it again."
Ye Chuan: "You can say it a little bit."
Lan Xiaoke: OvO?
Feeling as though he hadn't been back in a long time, Ye Chuan sat right down next to Lan Xiaoke and started playing games with her.
Clicking and clacking the controller buttons, Ye Chuan quickly got into the zone. After all, spending several months roughing it on the Aether Continent had truly exhausted him.
"Ooh?? You're super good." As Lan Xiaoke spoke, a voice came from the nearby entryway.
"I'm back." Luo Xi had returned along with Bai Qianshuang.
Seeing Ye Chuan and Lan Xiaoke gaming, she simply said, "Honestly, if you want to play games, go back to your room. The living room is turning into an arcade."
"It's fine, we're almost done." Ye Chuan controlled his character to unleash a 'Sun Never Sets' ultimate move, not forgetting to glance at Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi.
"Did you guys... go out grocery shopping?"
"Yep. Qianshuang told me that vegetables nourished by spiritual energy taste much better. I just tried it, and she's right." As Luo Xi spoke, she chided him,
"Hurry up and finish so you can come help, you bad Chuan Chuan."
"Alright."
After Ye Chuan put down his controller, Lan Xiaoke looked back at him. "Hey—play a little longer."
"We'll play more later. Besides, haven't you already lost a life?"
"Fine." Lan Xiaoke also got up to go help.
Even though Ye Chuan had spent so much time on the Aether Continent, absolutely no time had passed in the real world. To the others, Ye Chuan had only been missing for half a day.
"Oh right, Ye Chuan brought back another one," Lan Xiaoke reported what had just happened.
"A little girl?" Luo Xi asked.
"Goes without saying," Bai Qianshuang replied.
Ye Chuan: "..."
Was this considered a stereotype?
Could they really blame him? The tenants were all chosen by the System, and the Myriad Realms Apartment was so huge now, divided into so many areas, it was practically a sanctuary.
When it came to recruiting people, with the exception of the Tianxuan Continent, Ye Chuan truly had no bargaining power.
"I recently got my hands on some great treasures on the Aether Continent."
"Treasures?"
"Yeah." Ye Chuan took out his phone and checked the rewards from the Succubus Pavilion. Because the Succubus Pavilion side quest was completed, he had directly received a 'Succubus Skin for All' reward.
Ye Chuan looked at Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi. Both were wearing casual everyday clothes. Despite this, their figures and looks were still flawless; the simple clothing only added to their pure and innocent vibe.
"Want to try them on?" Ye Chuan smiled.
"Hmph, no way." Seeing that familiar smile on Ye Chuan's face, Luo Xi had a feeling it wasn't anything good.
"I can give it a try..." Bai Qianshuang didn't mind these kinds of things, simply giving a light nod.
Ye Chuan then directly equipped the Succubus skins on Luo Xi and Bai Qianshuang.
With a flash of white light, their outfits transformed—
Luo Xi was now wearing a pure black lace succubus outfit. The form-fitting clothes outlined her slender waist and full curves.
The skirt was made of layered black lace, revealing a pair of long, straight, fair legs. A pair of petite bat wings fluttered gently behind her back.
Bai Qianshuang, on the other hand, wore a purple velvet succubus outfit.
The design of the dress made her skin look as white as snow. A ribbon lightly tied around her waist accentuated her mature and graceful figure.
"..."
After noticing what they were wearing, Luo Xi and Bai Qianshuang froze for a moment before snapping back to reality.
"You little... So the 'great treasures' you mentioned were just these kinds of clothes?" Luo Xi said, seemingly annoyed but not actually angry. She just wrinkled her nose cutely and pinched Ye Chuan's waist.
"Not... bad." Bai Qianshuang, surprisingly, adapted quite well to the clothes she was wearing. To her, this outfit was less revealing than a swimsuit; she just felt it had a distinct, otherworldly exotic charm.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. 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?
