"Brother, brother, how are you feeling?"
"Stupid Gu Luo, stupid dad, how could you drink so much!"
"Brother Gu, are you thirsty right now?"
Gu Luo lay sideways on the living room sofa, seeing everyone as blurry duplicates, only managing a drunken grin as he mumbled, "...Agreed... agreed..."
Hearing this, Luo Shuning's heart leaped with joy, but her concern for Gu Luo quickly overshadowed it. She crouched beside him, her expression tender.
Uncle really agreed.
Ximan also had a boy she liked now, so her focus wouldn’t be entirely on Gu Luo anymore.
From here on, their relationship would progress smoothly.
"Agreed? Agreed to what? He’s just spouting drunken nonsense!" Gu Ximan huffed angrily, still fuming over her father and brother’s excessive drinking.
She crossed her arms, grumbling incessantly:
"Stupid dad, what’s wrong with you? Pouring so much alcohol down their throats."
Meanwhile, Luo Shuhe stood behind the three girls, arms folded, silently observing their guest, Lu Xuexue, her thoughts unreadable.
Just then, Gu Luo rubbed his dizzy head, his wavering gaze drifting over the five girls before finally settling on the distinctive cold tea-brown hair.
He slurred out a name:
"Xi... Ximan."
"Stupid Gu Luo, next time you—" Gu Ximan plopped down beside him, about to snap, "Next time you drink this much, I’ll hit you." But before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.
The overpowering masculine scent mixed with the pungent smell of alcohol hit her all at once.
Her face flushed instantly.
Gu Luo rested his chin on Gu Ximan’s shoulder, arms wrapped around her, and asked in a drunken haze, "Xi... Ximan, have you... eaten yet?"
Hearing this muddled yet caring question, Gu Ximan’s heart clenched. Memories of her time with Gu Luo flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.
Honestly, even drunk out of his mind, he’s still worried about whether I’ve eaten.
How can he be this foolish?
She hugged him back, sniffled, and forced a calm tone. "I’ve eaten, don’t worry."
Witnessing this, Lu Xuexue—the one who knew their history best—covered her small mouth with her hands, deeply moved and utterly invested in their dynamic.
This pair... this pair is absolutely meant to be!
No matter when, no matter where, Gu Ximan would always be first in Gu Luo’s heart.
As his sister, even if she didn’t have the academic excellence of the Luo sisters, couldn’t top the class in studies; even if she lacked outstanding talents, unable to shine in arts or music; even if she wasn’t gifted in sports, incapable of winning glory on the field...
First place was still first place.
First place needed no justification.
This was a love ingrained in the bones.
Lu Xuexue felt immensely relieved she’d never considered competing with Ximan.
Against such a profound sibling bond, victory was impossible.
All she had to do now was wait for the two to naturally come together. Once that happened, a few kind words from Ximan would secure her own happiness.
Suddenly, Lu Xuexue recalled a funny saying—
If you two run out of energy, I can give you a push.

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?!
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 ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. 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.”
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
