The incense had burned nearly halfway down.
The blood-red envelope burned at the same pace as the incense stick.
The enormous Buddha statue grew increasingly sinister, with blood dripping ceaselessly from its eye sockets.
Who knows what would happen if that kowtowing ghost bowed to this Buddha statue.
Wang Ye glanced at the statue, pondering slightly.
In the backyard, the trembling and rattling from the blood-red coffin grew more frequent, making continuous noises.
More and more cracks appeared on the coffin.
On the ground, the torso of the bisected kowtowing ghost kept writhing, its sole remaining eye sweeping the surroundings frantically and searching ceaselessly.
At the temple entrance.
The shadowy figure gradually became clear.
A woman.
Wearing a red bridal gown, with a bronze dagger stabbed into her temple.
Her belly was very swollen, with a hole gouged out at the navel. A baby's head peeked out from the hole, only exposing one eye that ceaselessly scanned its surroundings.
Upon reaching the entrance to the main hall, the woman halted.
The eye of the baby in the bloody cavity on her belly was clearly filled with excitement, vaguely tinged with madness.
Just looking at this woman sent chills throughout Wang Ye's body.
The oppressive aura she exuded was even more terrifying than the bisected corpse in Lin'an City.
Having just used the Ghost Blade, Wang Ye was extremely weary at this moment. Breathing heavily with a somewhat pale complexion.
In Shangjing City.
"Wenqian, are you confident about the matter two days from now?"
Su Changqing's eyes were gloomy as he spoke indifferently.
Su Wenqian laughed disdainfully and arrogantly said: "With Wang Ye gone, the rest in the Logistics Department are just a bunch of trash."
"No, Li Hongtian and Zhou Han are not to be easily provoked." Su Changqing shook his head slightly: "That Li Hongtian is mysterious. His files contain little information. The only time he made a move, he killed a second-level Awakened in seconds."
"Hmph!"
"I've already awakened three times now! Even if Li Hongtian makes a move, I have nothing to fear!"
"Besides, no one knows if he'll even show up after being missing for days."
Su Wenqian said, a trace of greed surfacing on his face: "As for Zhou Han, she's just a slut. If not for her looks, how could she have risen so high?"
As if recalling something, Su Wenqian licked his lips.
"Don't make it too obvious."
Su Changqing looked at Su Wenqian with a slight frown: "Or it'll be hard for me to give an account."
"Hmph, still pretending to take the high ground! After acting for so many years, do you really think you're my father?"
"Just do your job properly. How I act will naturally be for the Inspector General to deal with!"
Hearing Su Changqing's words, Su Wenqian gave a cold laugh, looking at him with mocking eyes.
Su Changqing's expression changed drastically: "Watch your mouth!"
"I'm not even sure if my office is bugged!"
Su Wenqian laughed coldly and glanced at him: "Still a coward after so many years."
With that said, he directly got up and left.
After Su Wenqian's departure, Su Changqing sat silently in his chair without saying a word, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
If not for fearing that old devil Li Xinghe, how could things have come to this!
But this is a good chance to probe Li Xinghe's bottom line. If worse comes to worst...
I'll just push this useless pawn out to die.
Watching Su Wenqian's back, a chill glinted in Su Changqing's eyes.
As the incense slowly burned down, the ghosts outside the main hall grew increasingly restless.
Their moods had clearly become more irritable.
Not long ago, the child monk had even crossed the threshold and charged inside.
The other monks' eyes were also turning redder, swaying their bodies uneasily.
In the backyard, the coffin suddenly exploded.
An old monk wearing monk robes sat up from within, blankly looking around as the hollowness in his eyes gradually regained awareness.
Muttering to himself, the old monk stood up, his monk robes fluttering without wind.
At this time, only one fifth of the incense remained.
The large Buddha statue trembled slightly, with blood continuously gushing from its eyes. Loud thumping sounds emanated incessantly from within, as if something was pounding away inside.
Outside the temple gates, the other half of the kowtowing ghost that Wang Ye had thrown out earlier crawled back inside. The two bisected halves merged, blood and flesh churning as the body started healing.
The terrifying oppressive auras of countless fierce ghosts roiled ceaselessly within the temple.
The vast majority of these existences could easily slaughter Wang Ye in seconds.
Yet for some unknown reason, they all halted at the main hall entrance, not daring to come in.
Wang Ye watched the entrance vigilantly and retreated two steps back.
A sudden Buddha's name resounded.
Amitabha...
The voice came from the rear, and the Buddha's name instantly paralyzed the fierce ghosts.
The kowtowing ghost in the midst of healing was torn apart again into four or five pieces.
The eye of the baby in the belly of the woman in bridal red filled with fear and burrowed deep inside, no longer daring to peek out.
A ghost holding a blank tablet watched as the tablet spontaneously exploded into pieces.
Wang Ye's body also shook violently from the Buddha's name, his face pale as paper as he spewed out a mouthful of blood.
Even the red smoke above the incense showed signs of dispersal under the effect of the Buddha's name.
Yet oddly, only the intonation of the Buddha's name could be heard with no sign of the person.
In the backyard...
A tree branch suddenly burst out from the ground, binding itself around the old monk's feet. Its other end connected to the old tree at the temple entrance.
As the soil churned, more and more branches ceaselessly drilled out from underground, tying up the old monk like a dumpling.
Row upon row of teeth grew out from the branches, madly biting into the old monk.
A faint golden light emanated from the old monk's body. No matter how the teeth tore into him, his body showed no damage.
The cloudiness in his gaze gradually regained clarity.
The incense was about to burn out.
Under the stimulation of the Buddha's name, the ghosts at the entrance grew increasingly frenzied, continuously howling.
Finally...
As if bearing some immense pressure, the woman in bridal red strode inside.
It was like a signal.
One after another, the terrifying beings all stepped inside.
Wang Ye's expression changed dramatically as he gritted his teeth.
"Damn mission, this is my last trump card!"
With that said, Wang Ye opened his backpack...
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."
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.

As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
