“What do you think I can do? That idiot got me suspended from school. Can’t I settle the score with him?” Huang Weiye wore a thoroughly shameless expression.
“You—you’ve gone mad! This is against the law!” Mrs. Huang shouted.
Huang Weiye immediately raised his hands. “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m a coward—I don’t do anything illegal.” He paused, then turned his gaze toward Li Daneng. “Besides, even if someone finds out, at most it’ll be written off as two brothers fighting. It’s a family matter, after all.”
“You…”
“Li Daneng, you old turtle, listen carefully. If you dare divorce her, I’ll block your son’s way every day! I’ll come to your house and cause trouble every day too! Just you try me!”
Li Daneng met his gaze, then instinctively looked away.
Li Liwei was released that very day. He had not been beaten, but someone had drawn all kinds of patterns on his face with a pen.
Mrs. Huang hurried over and pulled him close. “It’s all right, it’s all right. Don’t be afraid. Mom’s here… Hmm? Where’s that awful smell coming from?”
Her gaze lowered, and she gradually noticed that Li Liwei was clenching his legs together.
“Xiaowei, did you wet yourself again?”
“Get lost!”
Li Liwei suddenly shoved her away and ran into his room without looking back. Li Daneng did not even have time to stop him before Li Liwei was kicked back out.
“Try coming into my room again, and I’ll break your legs!” Huang Weiye pointed at his nose.
Tears welled up in Li Liwei’s eyes. What on earth had happened to this punching bag? How had he suddenly become like this? Was this really the same timid, submissive Huang Weiye? He had turned into a shameless brute!
The next day was the day Huang Weiye was supposed to return to school. To everyone’s surprise, he dyed his hair back himself, once again looking every bit like a model student. When the Li family saw his new appearance, none of them could quite get used to it.
Li Daneng even began to wonder if the previous week had all been a dream.
But the illusion was shattered when Huang Weiye kicked the door open with practiced ease and reached out for money.
Li Liwei watched Huang Weiye walk away. “Dad, what am I supposed to do? That bastard keeps bullying me!”
Li Daneng glanced at Mrs. Huang. She immediately lowered her head, just as she used to whenever her own son was beaten.
“It’s all right. Your dad knows a few people. No matter how vicious that little brat is, he’s still just a punk. I’ll find someone to deal with him!” A confident gleam flashed in Li Daneng’s eyes. “He thinks being underage makes him invincible? Hmph.”
Seeing the look in his father’s eyes, Li Liwei instantly regained his confidence.
“Third Prince, Li Daneng is planning to find some people from the streets to deal with you,” the System said, looking him up and down.
Huang Weiye took a bite of his steamed bun. “Let him. Deal with me? No one capable of dealing with my Nezha has been born yet!” With that, he flashed an evil grin. “This time, I’m going to scare him so badly he’ll never forget it!”
“Third Prince, please don’t go too far.”
But something happened that even the System had not expected. Nezha grabbed it and demanded that it bring the Original Host back.
“I’m helping him deal with people, and he just sits there staring with those two eyeballs? Hurry up and bring him back! Just looking at these questions annoys me!”
“I—I’ll have to ask for permission…”
The message reached Liu Shishi, who did not delay. She immediately reported it to Yue Anyao.
Yue Anyao sighed. “Ask the Original Host what he wants.”
Liu Shishi smiled. “The Original Host has been itching to return for ages. If you ask me, he wants to go back faster than anyone.”
On the very day Huang Weiye returned to school, he caused trouble again. First, he picked up a brick and smashed a burly upperclassman in the face, leaving him bloodied and battered. Then he heard that the boys he had dealt with before were still unhappy and had called in people from outside the school. Enraged, he climbed over the wall and beat up the reinforcements in an alley outside.
Although he was thin and small, he was incredibly agile, and his attacks were vicious. He fought as if he genuinely intended to kill. The thugs only bullied obedient students on ordinary days—when had they ever encountered a desperate lunatic like this? Several of them immediately ran to the security office, wailing.
“Weiye, how did you end up like this? You used to be such a good, well-behaved student. I know your family hasn’t treated you well, but you can’t just give up on yourself, can you?” the teacher lectured earnestly. She casually picked up the test paper from that morning. “Just look at your…”
She paused and narrowed her eyes at the page. The paper was neat, the handwriting orderly, and after a quick glance, she realized there were no mistakes at all!
“Uh… I mean, if those hooligans were threatening you, why didn’t you tell me? What if something had happened? Wait here. I’m going to speak with the director right now and ask the school to improve security around the campus!”
Huang Weiye stood there with an indifferent expression. Only after the teacher left did he raise his head and look at the pitiful Original Host.
“I’ll give you this—you may be a useless coward, but you do have a few strengths. From now on, you can handle the exams and things like that yourself. Got it?”
The Original Host could only nod.
Watching Huang Weiye swagger out of the office as if nothing had happened, Li Liwei was consumed by hatred.
Just wait. I want to see how long you can keep acting so arrogantly!
Dad said he had found people from the streets to deal with him! By then, Huang Weiye would still have to kneel and apologize. Li Liwei would pay him back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for everything he had done!
Li Daneng was indeed making secret arrangements. He tracked down several idle friends of his, treating them to meals and buying them cigarettes and liquor. In the end, he really managed to recruit several men to teach his rebellious son a lesson.
“Don’t hold back. Make sure that kid learns what society is really like,” Li Daneng said.
“Old Li, that’s your son. Just scare him a little and leave it at that.”
“What son? He’s nothing but a bastard! An ungrateful little ingrate!”
Mrs. Huang did not even change her expression as he cursed.
However, after school, Huang Weiye did not go home. No one knew where he had gone, and the gangsters who had been waiting to ambush him on the way home never saw him.
The next day, Huang Weiye showed up at school as usual. He slept through class and wandered around during breaks.
For three days in a row, he never returned home. Li Daneng finally grew impatient, so he told Li Liwei to trick Huang Weiye into coming back.
On the way home from school stood an unfinished building—the perfect place to make a move.
Li Liwei summoned his courage and went to find Huang Weiye. Huang Weiye merely glanced at him twice.
“Well, well. It’s the kid who wet his pants.”
A chorus of mocking laughter rose around them.
Li Liwei’s face flushed bright red. “Huang Weiye, Mom and Dad said you have to come home today. They’ve prepared a big meal for you!”
“Sure, sure. Tell them to wait for me. I’ll go home today,” Huang Weiye said with a smile that made Li Liwei’s heart tremble.
After waiting three whole days, Li Daneng finally had his prey.
He was almost impatient with anticipation.
Just as they had arranged beforehand, two grown men came forward, seized Huang Weiye from either side, and dragged him toward the unfinished building. Huang Weiye did not struggle at all, which surprised them.
“You little bastard! So you’ve finally decided to come home?”

This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
