Lin Ran: "Did you do it again?"
Luo Yao nodded.
Lin Ran was shocked by Luo Yao's actions, but his inner satisfaction screamed wildly.
"Because only this way can I feel like you truly belong to me."
"Alright, as long as you're happy."
"Ran, do you like children?"
Lin Ran: "Not really, but if it's with you, then I do."
Luo Yao: "If we had a child, would they take away your love?"
Lin Ran paused for a moment before answering seriously, "I can't answer that, but my love for you will only grow stronger in the future."
Luo Yao also fell silent for a while before regaining her composure.
She had made up her mind—no children, at least not now.
Because a child would take away Ran's love.
The two of them quietly gazed at the stars when Lin Ran suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Do you know where the black cat in our estate is?"
Luo Yao: "No idea. It might be a stray from somewhere."
Lin Ran thought Luo Yao knew, but it turned out she didn't. He wondered if he'd ever get to see the black cat again.
He always felt there was something off about that black cat.
Not only could it curse, but it also mocked people and even gave warnings, giving off a mysterious vibe.
The next day, Lin Ran finally decided to make an appearance at school.
A luxurious Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the campus, taking Lin Ran all the way to his destination.
When Lin Ran appeared in the classroom, all eyes were on him.
Lin Ran casually found a seat and sat down. Not long after, Wu Zhishang arrived.
Wu Zhishang was also delighted to see Lin Ran, especially since Lin Ran had gifted him a Ferrari LaFerrari.
However, Wu Zhishang wasn't one to show off, so he didn't drive the car to campus but kept it at home.
Following Lin Ran's advice, he kept his wealth low-key and didn't even mention it to his girlfriend.
Today, Lin Ran was here to help Wu Zhishang with a small issue and to check out the school.
Last time, when Wu Zhishang drove the car home, his parents were shocked. Despite his explanations, they remained skeptical.
So, Wu Zhishang decided to ask Lin Ran to come over and explain, or else his parents would always think he'd done something shady.
Originally, they planned to do this over the weekend, but Lin Ran's request was denied by Luo Yao.
Choosing to spend the weekend with a friend instead of his wife? Luo Yao was already being kind by not killing Wu Zhishang.
The instructor also knew about Lin Ran's return to school but didn't bother him, perhaps due to some instructions from the principal.
Student entrepreneurship was something the school should support, after all.
During the professor's lecture, the absence of Liu Ruxue made the class atmosphere quite harmonious. After class, many students asked Lin Ran where he'd been lately, but he simply told them they'd find out in a few days.
After class in the afternoon, Lin Ran accompanied Wu Zhishang to his home.
Wu Zhishang was also a local, but his family lived quite far from the school—over an hour's drive.
The Wu family was an ordinary household, living in a modest home, but Lin Ran didn't show any disdain.
When they arrived, Wu Zhishang's parents warmly welcomed Lin Ran. Having known them since childhood, Lin Ran was no stranger to them.
It wasn't until Lin Ran explained the whole situation that Wu Zhishang's parents began to believe it.
Wu's mother looked worried.
"Mom, didn't Brother Lin explain everything? Why do you still look like this?"
Wu's mother: "Of course, I believe Xiao Lin. But you said he's married, and I still can't believe it. From what you've said, that woman is very wealthy. Could she just be playing with Xiao Lin's feelings?"
Lin Ran felt touched. In such a materialistic society, genuine concern for others was rare.
Even his own family hadn't given him this kind of warmth, but today, he experienced it at Wu's home.
"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. My wife and I have known each other for a long time. We love each other, and it's not as complicated as you think."
Hearing this, Wu's parents finally felt reassured and even gave Lin Ran a red envelope, which he accepted without hesitation.
Lin Ran exchanged a glance with Wu Zhishang and mentioned their joint business venture, which was already showing some progress and would soon collaborate with the school.
The parents listened with smiles on their faces.
Finally, Lin Ran suggested that Wu's father quit his job, but Wu's father hesitated.
Some things were hard to say outright, so Lin Ran advised Wu's father to stay cautious. Wu's father wasn't foolish and immediately sensed there was more to Lin Ran's words.
"Xiao Ran, do you know something?"
Lin Ran couldn't say it directly, as he wasn't entirely sure himself. He just knew something was up.
After some thought, he gave Wu's father a few suggestions. Seeing how serious Lin Ran was, Wu's father took it to heart and eventually agreed with Lin Ran's advice.
When Lin Ran was about to leave, Wu's parents insisted he stay for dinner, but Lin Ran excused himself, citing work commitments.
Wu's father: "This kid, why is he in such a hurry?"
Wu's mother: "What do you know, old man? He's rushing home to see his wife, of course."
On the way back to school, Wu Zhishang looked puzzled.
"Brother Lin, why did you say those things to my dad? Do you know something?"
Lin Ran: "Do you trust me?"
Wu Zhishang immediately patted his chest: "Of course, I trust you, Brother."
Lin Ran: "Then make sure your dad pays attention to what I said. It'd be best if he quits his job. I can find him a better one later."
Wu Zhishang: "Got it."
The Rolls-Royce stopped right in front of the dormitory, drawing countless curious glances.
Wu Zhishang went upstairs, and just then, the person Lin Ran least wanted to see showed up.
Liu Ruxue and Huo Haini blocked Lin Ran's car door. Liu Ruxue's eyes were red, while Huo Haini appeared indignant on the surface, though his true thoughts were unclear.
Liu Ruxue: "Brother Lin Ran, you're finally back at school."
Lin Ran: "Get lost!"
Last time, it was because of Liu Ruxue that Lin Ran got injured, and he hadn't fully recovered yet.
And now she was back?
Wang Bao and the driver got out of the car. The moment they saw Liu Ruxue, their alarm bells went off.
Last time, it was his reporting mistake that led to Lin Ran's injury. If it weren't for Lin Ran's plea, he might have been severely punished.
This time, he was determined to protect Lin Ran no matter what.
Lin Ran gave a subtle signal, and Wang Bao stopped in his tracks.
Liu Ruxue: "Brother Lin Ran, someone came asking me for money today, saying I owed them a million. I couldn't find you."
Lin Ran nodded: "That's right. I've transferred the debt."
Liu Ruxue couldn't believe it.
"Why? Why would you do this to me? Do you know how terrifying that person is? It felt like he'd kill me if I didn't pay."
Lin Ran found it amusing but kept his tone sharp.
"Liu Ruxue, the money is what you owe. And don't come looking for me anymore. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
"Let me make it clear—I'd rather see you destroyed."
Liu Ruxue took a step back, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls. Her pitiful sobs stirred up indignation among countless underclassmen.
So what if you're rich? Does that give you the right to hurt such a lovely and beautiful senior?
They couldn't hear the conversation between Liu Ruxue and Lin Ran, but they could see their actions.
From a visual perspective, Lin Ran truly resembled a scumbag who mistreated women.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.
