"A Sure Win?"
Lin Ran: "I must have been blind before, like Shakespeare without the 'shay,' to have overlooked such a beautiful woman right in front of me. Now that my vision has returned, I want to look at you more, to gaze at you for a lifetime!"
"But I deeply regret it!"
The first part of Lin Ran's words stirred Luo Yao's heart, while the last statement left her feeling uncertain.
What regrets? Regretting giving herself to him yesterday?
Lin Ran felt the air around him suddenly grow colder, and his heart jolted.
Why the sudden anger? Could it be...?
Lin Ran: "I deeply regret not appreciating your beauty before. I truly deserve to die!"
Indeed, Luo Yao's icy aura dissipated, and the curve of her lips grew more pronounced.
Uncle Fu's pupils dilated.
Lin Ran is... speaking sweet words?
My word! Miss hasn't smiled like that in ages.
Lin Ran's words made Luo Yao tremble, and a drop of soup slid down her lip. She naturally reached up to wipe it, only to collide with Lin Ran's hand as he reached over to do the same.
Even though they had shared the most intimate of moments, both were momentarily stunned, their hearts racing as Luo Yao's soup droplet slowly descended and fell, evoking fanciful thoughts.
Lin Ran retracted his hand, flustered.
"Sorry! I just wanted to help you wipe it!"
Luo Yao: "Feed me!"
Lin Ran: "Huh?"
Luo Yao: "Feed me dinner!"
Lin Ran gazed at Luo Yao's delicate, crimson lips and swallowed hard.
"Alright!"
Lin Ran scooped a spoonful of soup from his own bowl and gently brought it to Luo Yao's lips.
Uncle Fu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew Luo Yao had a severe case of germophobia and loathed men, yet Lin Ran was feeding her soup with his own spoon?
He swiftly took out his phone and sent a message: [Prepare a crystal coffin]
Then, he witnessed his mistress open her mouth and drink, as if even licking the spoon slightly.
Hmm! Must be a figment of my imagination.
Luo Yao's calm voice echoed: "Uncle Fu, are you planning to join us for our candlelit dinner?"
Uncle Fu's spine chilled instantly as he hastily shook his head, motioning everyone to leave. He too exited, taking out his phone again to send another message: [Cancel the coffin order].
Watching Luo Yao's lips glisten, Lin Ran tenderly continued feeding her.
This feeling filled Luo Yao with satisfaction, drawing her deeper into the moment.
Ran, are you really not deceiving me?
Even if you are, I'll take it.
Luo Yao had no appetite for food, yet this was Lin Ran's cooking, so she wanted to taste it all, to eat as much as possible.
For someone who usually detested eating, this was truly a first.
The meal dragged on for a long time, from the dining room to the bedroom.
Just as Luo Yao straddled Lin Ran, his phone rang, displaying the note:
[Goddess]
Damn! I must have missed blocking this witch earlier.
Luo Yao naturally saw the screen, and the temperature in the room plummeted by eight degrees.
Lin Ran calmly ended the call, ready to kiss Luo Yao when the phone rang again. Just as he prepared to hang up and power off, Luo Yao commanded:
"Answer it!"
A thousand wild horses galloped through Lin Ran's heart.
Liu Ruxue, you'd better behave and not say anything to upset my wife.
He picked up the call.
"Lin Ran brother! Where are you?"
Before Lin Ran could speak, Luo Yao's dominating presence pressed in.
"I'm with... mmm! Mmm?"
Liu Ruxue: ??? What is that sound?
"Lin Ran brother, speak up! Are you alright? Who was the woman who took you away that day?"
Before Lin Ran could curse, Luo Yao posed a slightly challenging query.
"Ran, who is the woman you love the most?"
"You... I only love you!"
In response, different sounds of pleasure filled the air, sounds Liu Ruxue was all too familiar with, spurring her urgency.
"Lin Ran, what are you doing? Why do I hear a woman's voice near you!"
With both 'rabbits' nearly suffocating him, Lin Ran was about to lose it, pushing Luo Yao away, an action that almost triggered her explosive temper.
"I'm with my wife! You better scram if you've got nothing, and go die if you have anything to say!"
His words were immediately followed by Luo Yao engulfing him once more, emitting even more piercing sounds.
Sounds of delight, of challenge, and of disdain.
Liu Ruxue couldn't bear it.
"Lin Ran, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I misjudged you. You've utterly disappointed me, waaah!"
And with that, she hung up.
Luo Yao smiled, an expression Lin Ran had never seen before.
Ethereal? Mocking? Bitter?
Time passed.
Lin Ran experienced the most genuine Luo Yao.
He cursed himself for his past blindness and stupidity.
So what was it that he truly desired?
...
"Luo Yao! One day, I fear I might die here. Can we perhaps... exercise some restraint?"
In her previous life, Luo Yao always held the upper hand. Who would have thought that this life would follow the same pattern?
After all, he was the man, wasn't he?
Luo Yao was satisfied with how Lin Ran had treated Liu Ruxue today.
"Crazy? But I simply can't help it. It feels like only by merging completely do you truly become mine. If you were to die beneath me, I would unhesitatingly follow you into death. In the afterlife, you'd still be mine!"
Lin Ran remained silent, well aware that Luo Yao would indeed go that far.
What was so special about him? Why had Luo Yao taken a liking to him specifically?
"Ran! I'm scared! I fear you might turn and leave me tomorrow!"
"So! Even if you are deceiving me... can you keep the lie going?"
Lin Ran's heart ached.
Even if Luo Yao believes me to be lying, she still desires this. What kind of twisted love is this?
Even if it's fake, I cherish it more than pearls.
However, Lin Ran was gradually growing fond of this sensation. He could even say that after just two nights since his rebirth, he was already becoming addicted.
"Luo Yao! Whether you believe it or not, I'll always be by your side, loving and protecting you!"
"We'll continue like this, trust me... okay?"
Tears glimmered in Luo Yao's eyes, but she knew she couldn't cry.
In this world, everyone can cry, but not her.
To cry would be to reveal her vulnerability; once vulnerable, she'd be trampled upon.
She had to be the strongest Luo Yao, only then could she protect her Ran.
If Ran tires of her, leaves her, then she'd turn him into a specimen or burn him to ash and devour it, to be together forever.
Delirious thoughts permeated.
Lin Ran was utterly overwhelmed.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. 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.

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.
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.
