My head... feels so heavy...
When Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, he felt the dazzling sunlight in the room, and his body finally regained some strength.
"Mmm... What’s going on... mmm!"
As soon as Ye Feng opened his mouth, he felt as if he had choked on water. He quickly swallowed it down and then sat up, coughing violently.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
What’s going on? I almost choked to death!
After sitting up, Ye Feng felt a tightness in his chest. But when he lifted the blanket, he found nothing unusual. Yet, why did it feel like something was pressing on his chest, even causing some pain?
Huh?
After sitting for a while, Ye Feng's mind gradually cleared up. But when he looked around, he noticed that Li Mucheng was no longer in the room.
"Where’s Mucheng... mmm!"
As soon as Ye Feng spoke a few words, he felt his lips go numb. Even speaking a few words became extremely uncomfortable, though thankfully, this awful sensation was slowly fading.
What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel so terrible every time I wake up? Do I have some incurable illness?
Just as Ye Feng was pondering this, he suddenly noticed something on his lips. When he reached out to touch it, he found a long, smooth strand of hair.
"Is this... Mucheng's hair? But why is it on my lips..."
"Ah, it’s probably because this is her bed. Sometimes I even find Xie Yuyan's hair on my sofa."
Ye Feng didn’t find this strange at all. After all, this was Li Mucheng's bed. Once he dismissed the hair as a normal occurrence, everything made sense, except for the numbness in his lips.
Strange, why do I always end up falling asleep at Mucheng's place?
A terrifying thought suddenly crossed Ye Feng's mind.
Could Mucheng have done something to me?
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Ha, I must be losing my mind. How could I suspect my own student? What reason would she have to do such a thing? Besides, even though Mucheng can be a bit eccentric at times, she’s become much more sensible lately. She even helped me to bed when I passed out and covered me with a blanket afterward. How could I even think of suspecting her? That’s just ridiculous.
Even if I were to consider the worst-case scenario, both my water glass and the pastries Mucheng brought were things she had eaten too. So why didn’t she get affected? Clearly, this has nothing to do with her.
Maybe there’s something wrong with my body? It must be that damn system messing with me. Those limit-breaking capsules aren’t exactly harmless either!
Just then, the door to the room opened, and Li Mucheng walked in, holding a glass of soda.
"Oh? Teacher, you’re awake."
Seeing Ye Feng awake, Li Mucheng showed a slightly surprised expression, then placed the soda on her desk and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"How are you feeling? Is everything okay?"
"I’m fine. I don’t know why I suddenly passed out. I’m really sorry, Mucheng, for dirtying your bed."
"It’s nothing."
Li Mucheng shook her head, indicating that she didn’t mind Ye Feng sleeping in her bed at all.
"Teacher, you must have been overworked. Do you want me to call my private doctor to check on you?"
Li Mucheng's eyes were filled with concern, and her tone was cautious.
"No need, Mucheng. I appreciate your kindness."
Ye Feng quickly declined. He knew his body better than anyone else. This was likely a side effect of the capsules, and no modern medicine would be able to detect it.
"It’s probably just from staying up too late recently. I’ll be more careful next time."
"Ugh... Teacher, you really need to take better care of yourself!"
Li Mucheng's expression turned slightly displeased, as if she was unhappy with Ye Feng's behavior.
"Teacher, you’re the most important person to me. If you keep neglecting your health, I’ll get really mad!"
"Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you, Mucheng."
Look at how considerate she is! How could I have even suspected her? I should be ashamed of myself!
Ye Feng even began to reprimand himself internally, completely convinced of Li Mucheng's innocence.
Suddenly realizing he was still lying on Li Mucheng's bed, Ye Feng quickly sat up and apologized, "I’m sorry, Mucheng, for using your bed. Should I wash it for you..."
"No!"
Before Ye Feng could finish, Li Mucheng suddenly shouted, startling him.
Realizing she had overreacted, Li Mucheng quickly softened her tone.
"I mean, there’s no need for you to go through all that trouble. It’s just a bed. I’ll change the sheets later myself."
"Oh... okay then."
"Instead of worrying about that... Teacher, it looks like class is over."
"Huh? Really? Did I sleep that long?"
Ye Feng followed Li Mucheng's gaze to the clock and saw that it was indeed the end of class.
"Mucheng, I’m really sorry. I’ve missed so many classes..."
Suddenly, Li Mucheng placed a finger gently on Ye Feng's lips and whispered, "Honestly, Teacher, how many times are you going to apologize? These little things don’t need to be said so much. It makes it seem like we’re strangers."
"Since you’ve said that, I won’t be so formal about it."
"That’s more like it. Do you want me to walk you out?"
"No need! You should rest. I’ll leave on my own."
"Well... alright. But remember, Teacher, you need to come on time tomorrow. If something like this happens again, I’ll be really upset."
"Got it! See you later, Mucheng."
"Mm, see you later, Teacher~"
After Li Mucheng saw Ye Feng off at the door, she stood by the window, watching his figure slowly disappear into the distance. Then, she quickly ran back to her bed.
"Mmm... There’s still a bit of Teacher’s warmth left. I should cherish this lingering scent of his♡"
......
"Sigh..."
As Ye Feng walked home, he felt mentally drained. Even though he had slept, his body still felt exhausted, leaving him with no energy.
"Whatever, I’ll just grab something to eat at a street stall. I won’t bother cooking dinner at home."
With that thought, Ye Feng headed toward a barbecue shop near his apartment...
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.

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.
