"Then my opinion is settled—as long as Xiaofeng isn’t hurt, I don’t have any major objections."
Shen Mengli finished speaking and walked over to sit beside Ye Feng, tilting her head playfully as she gazed at him.
"So, Xiaofeng? How was my performance?"
Ye Feng sighed helplessly and lightly tapped Shen Mengli’s head with his fingers. "You silly girl, even now you’re still thinking about me. What did I ever do to deserve this?"
"Xiaofeng, you’re wrong to say that. You’re the one who gave me a new life. You’re the one who showed me the beauty of living for myself. Compared to everything you’ve done for me, what I’ve done for you pales in comparison. By your logic, should I also think I’m not good enough for you?"
"Mengli, that’s not what I meant..."
"Then it’s settled. I just want to do more for you, Xiaofeng. But please, don’t dislike me for it, okay? I’ll try my best to accept everything."
"No... Mengli, you’re already doing more than enough. Just being like this is fine."
Ye Feng gently grasped Shen Mengli’s small hand and gave her a tender smile. He knew all too well that her feelings for him had always revolved entirely around him.
"Hmm..."
For some reason, Xie Yuyan’s brow twitched slightly as she watched the tender scene between Shen Mengli and Ye Feng, as though she had no choice but to accept it. At the same time, her gaze inadvertently swept over Li Mucheng and Su Yuxin nearby, only to find their expressions eerily similar to her own. Their eyes met, and after a brief pause, they all smiled knowingly.
Seems like... the boss’s heart is already decided...
"......"
Sensing the sudden silence around them, Ye Feng realized that he and Shen Mengli might have been a little too intimate. He quickly cleared his throat and let go of her hand.
"R-right, does anyone else have anything to add?"
"I don’t have anything to say. My thoughts align with Mengli’s. As long as the teacher isn’t harmed, that’s all that matters."
"I see..."
Ye Feng then turned his attention to Su Yuxin, who was sitting beside Li Mucheng.
"What about you, Yuxin? Anything you’d like to say?"
"......"
"Yuxin?"
Only when Ye Feng raised his voice slightly did Su Yuxin, who had been sitting on the sofa in a daze, slowly snap back to reality.
"Ah! Y-Ye Feng? What is it?"
Feeling Ye Feng’s attention on her, Su Yuxin nearly jumped in surprise.
"Seems like you weren’t paying attention at all. I was asking if you had any other thoughts to share?"
"Thoughts? N-no, nothing!"
Su Yuxin blurted out her answer almost instantly, afraid that any hesitation might displease him.
"I wouldn’t have any objections... i-it’s just..."
"Oh?"
Noticing that Su Yuxin seemed to have something on her mind, Ye Feng didn’t beat around the bush and urged her to speak openly.
"It’s alright, Yuxin. If you have something to say, just say it. Since we’ve all chosen to face things honestly, there’s no need to hold back."
"Mmm..."
For some reason, Su Yuxin’s cheeks flushed bright red as she spoke, making her look like a ripe apple.
"I... I have a small request. I don’t know if you’d be willing to fulfill it, Ye Feng."
"Of course I would!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately recalled the time he and Su Yuxin had spent together at the amusement park. He wondered if her request was to take her there again for another fun day.
"Really?!"
Seeing how quickly Ye Feng agreed, Su Yuxin’s previously hesitant demeanor instantly transformed into one of excitement. She sprang up from the sofa and slowly made her way over to him.
"Since you’ve already promised, Ye Feng, you can’t take it back now~"
"Y-Yuxin?"
Ye Feng hadn’t expected such an intense reaction from her, and a faint sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
What is she planning? Why does she look so... infatuated?
As Su Yuxin drew closer, she leaned in until her face was right beside Ye Feng’s ear. After glancing around to make sure Shen Mengli and the others weren’t eavesdropping, she lowered her head, her twin pigtails swaying, and whispered something into his ear.
"......"
The moment he heard her soft murmur, Ye Feng’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at Su Yuxin with a flustered expression.
"Y-Yuxin, you’re joking, right?"
"Not at all!"
Su Yuxin clenched her small fists, her face deadly serious.
"I mean it! And I’m fully prepared! I don’t want to wait any longer, or else I’ll only drift further away from you..."
"Alright... I understand. But Yuxin, can you promise me to wait just a little longer? Things have only just settled down, and we all need time to adjust."
"Mmm!"
Su Yuxin hadn’t expected Ye Feng to agree so readily, and just that alone was enough to make her happy for the rest of the day.
"I-I’ll wait! I’ll wait until that day comes!"
"Good..."
Ye Feng gently patted her head, signaling for her to calm down, and then motioned for her to return to the sofa. Even as she sat back down, the bashful smile on Su Yuxin’s face never faded, as if she were already welcoming the arrival of a wonderful new life.
"Yuxin, what exactly did you say to the teacher? Why did he react so strongly?"
Li Mucheng looked curiously at the fidgeting Su Yuxin beside her. Their moods had practically swapped places now. Though she could guess the meaning behind Su Yuxin and Ye Feng’s exchange from their expressions, she still wanted to hear it from Su Yuxin herself.
"Mmm..."
Su Yuxin bit her lower lip shyly before leaning in close to Li Mucheng’s ear, her warm breath brushing against it as she whispered:
"Ye Feng agreed... he said he’ll accept me~"
"Accept you?"
Li Mucheng blinked in confusion, but as she saw the uncontainable excitement in Su Yuxin’s eyes, she gradually grasped the deeper meaning.
"Oh... I see. So, you’ll be embracing a new life too, huh?"
"O-okay, that’s enough, Mucheng. Don’t say any more... I-I’ll get embarrassed."
Su Yuxin flusteredly blinked, swallowing hard as her gaze kept darting sneakily toward Ye Feng.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

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.

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. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

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."
