Luo Yi's skin recovered a bit of color, changing her rustic aura to one of striking beauty like a supermodel's.
"A few more treatments and Miss Luo's skin will likely regain its original fair complexion."
"Miss Luo is blessed with milk-white skin that many girls envy. Even without skincare, her original shade will quickly return without frequent sun exposure."
The beautician continuously complimented.
"Let's go!"
Yan Dongxu and Luo Yi left the salon.
During her beauty treatment, he called Zhou Quan to borrow a car.
Uncle Zhou had his chauffeur bring the Ferrari over and said Yan could keep driving it.
Zhou Quan was busy anyway, taking his wife and kids to the headquarters in the capital after accepting a new position.
Exiting the mall, the chauffeur had been waiting awhile.
After handing the keys to Yan Dongxu, he took off.
"Let's go. I'll take you to your parents."
"No need. It's too high-profile. Plus, you're busy." Luo Yi declined.
"Come on. Didn't you say your parents wanted you to stop teaching and marry soon?"
"Just say I'm your boyfriend. I'm not super rich yet, but I'm doing alright, no?"
"It shouldn't embarrass you to bring me."
Yan Dongxu aimed to help her all the way. He was free anyway, so why not go take a look?
The viewers wanted him to go too, good livestream material.
"Fine, but can we stop by the hospital first?"
"Why the hospital?" Yan Dongxu was puzzled.
"To see someone." A hint of sadness flashed in Luo Yi's eyes.
Yan Dongxu drove her to the hospital first.
"Huh? Why'd you stop?"
"Visiting patients of course requires flowers and fruit. Wait in the car, I'll go buy them."
Yan Dongxu returned cradling a bouquet, a fruit basket in hand.
Luo Yi's eyes reddened, on the verge of tears.
"Thank you! I didn't bring money, but I'll pay you back."
"Why are you always trying to pay me back? Remember, I'm happy to spend money on you, no need to repay."
Yan Dongxu pretended to scold her.
Luo Yi laughed at his teasing. Facing the viewers she asked: "Is he always this generous?"
[No no no, he's cheap!]
[Only to you.]
[He wants to buy you off, Teacher Luo beware!]
[He buys his sister cheap 50 cent ice pops.]
[Right, he haggles with grannies over two potatoes at the street stall.]
[Doesn't even wash his stained underwear to save water, just wears them inside out.]
...
The viewers spun more and more outrageous tales, straight up gossiping.
Luo Yi cracked up, laughing till her stomach hurt.
Yan Dongxu's eyes twitched as he threatened: "Keep bullshitting and I'm ending the stream!"
[???]
[Scaring dad? ]
[Say what you will, I dare you to hit me.]
[Mods, look, the streamer's threatening viewers.]
...
Yan Dongxu was used to such trolls.
Luo Yi thought livestreaming quite entertaining, almost too delightful if daily.
They arrived at the inpatient building of the hospital, entering a room.
A young man lay in bed, comatose.
"Aunt Xu." Luo Yi greeted.
"Yi Yi you came. No need for gifts, your presence is enough."
Aunt Xu spoke gently, looking haggard.
"How's my brother? Still no signs of waking?" Luo Yi asked.
"If only it were that easy. The odds of a vegetative patient waking are so low. Even your dad dares not predict when your brother might wake." Aunt Xu sighed.
"You wretch finally came back. Your dad was just here earlier rounding patients. He didn't mention your return!"
"It was spontaneous. I didn't tell anyone, didn't even bring my phone. Call dad and let's have dinner tonight, our whole family." Luo Yi responded.
Aunt Xu shook her head. "I won't go, don't have the heart for it. You all go."
"Alright, I'll keep you company here a bit."
"That's good, I rarely have someone to chat with. Your return means I'll have your company." Aunt Xu held Luo Yi's hand as they sat.
"This is your boyfriend I assume? So handsome! Hurry and introduce him to Auntie!"
Luo Yi awkwardly tried to explain.
Yan Dongxu took the initiative: "I'm Luo Yi's boyfriend, an online broadcaster."
"Oh my, a broadcaster, how trendy. Good money in it I hear."
"The nurses are always gossiping, mentioned some First Love or something. From our city I think."
"Sadly I'm too old for the times. Can't use a smartphone, can't get online, otherwise I'd check out the hype."
Aunt Xu had a great attitude, seeming optimistic.
[Hahaha, she means you right?]
[You're known by young and old now.]
[Worthily First Love, currently impersonating her boyfriend.]
[Shameless liar, got some skills.]
...
The barrage mocked him.
Yan Dongxu ignored it completely.
After inquiring, he realized Aunt Xu was Luo Yi's dad's ex-wife.
The young man in bed was their child, Luo Yi's half-brother from her dad's first marriage.
Luo Yi was born to her current stepmom.
[Whoa, so complicated!]
[Luo Yi's dad is a player!]
[Could her dad be Professor Luo Yongchun of the medical university?]
[Bro you're from Jiangning too? I know Professor Luo, top neurosurgeon!]
[Yan Dongxu, get her to introduce you to her dad.]
...
Seeing the speculation, Yan Dongxu was stunned.
If the assumptions were true, Luo Yi's family background was far beyond just well-off.
"Is your father Professor Luo Yongchun?" Yan Dongxu directly asked.
"Huh? How'd you know?" Luo Yi was very surprised.
"The viewers guessed."
[OMG, it's real!]
[Yan Dongxu, you hit jackpot!]
[She's elite nobility!]
...
"Oh, you're streaming? Filmed me?"
"Er...sorry Auntie, yes."
"Oh my, don't film me, I'm not presentable." Aunt Xu stood abruptly, avoiding the camera. "You two go find your dad."
Luo Yi could only lead Yan Dongxu to her father's office.
They knocked, no response.
But they ran into his assistant who said the professor would return soon, so they could wait inside.
Entering the tidy office, it had photos of her dad.
"Gotta say, you really resemble your dad."
"All my life people say I'm his mini-me."
Soon Professor Luo entered, clearly startled then delighted to see Luo Yi.
"Yi Yi, when'd you get back?"
"Just this morning."
"Your return is...wonderful, just wonderful."
As Professor Luo spoke, he suddenly noticed Yan Dongxu, his smile freezing as his face darkened.
Yan Dongxu was baffled. Had the old man learned face changing?
He hadn't offended him!
"Professor Luo, I'll take my leave if you're busy."
The black-clad man with cap lowered his head and hurried off after following Professor Luo in.
This perplexed Yan Dongxu further. He felt the man had rushed away upon seeing him.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? 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."
