Boom!
Su Hua's words undoubtedly sent ripples through the crowd of Night Rose and the Golden Dragon Gang members.
The Night Rose members buzzed with discussion.
"Our leader already has someone she loves, right? She’s practically obsessed with him. How could she suddenly ask another man to be hers?"
"I don’t get it either. It’s bizarre. Our leader isn’t the type to fall for just any man—otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed single for so long."
"Do you think it’s possible that the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang is actually the one she loves?"
"No way. I heard the man she likes is younger than her—this guy looks at least in his thirties. Plus, they say her boyfriend is some ridiculously handsome young guy, the kind who wouldn’t even know how to throw a punch. The Golden Dragon Gang leader is rumored to be insanely strong. How could he be the same person?"
Most of the Night Rose members only knew that Su Hua had a boyfriend—young, handsome, and successful. But his true identity? That was a mystery. Only those who had helped Su Hua investigate Lin Xuan knew the truth: the man their leader cherished above all else was Lin Xuan.
"Honestly, if Su Hua took a liking to the Golden Dragon Gang leader, it wouldn’t be the worst thing. He’s strong, strategic, and a decent match for our leader. A bit older, sure, but he’d make a fine kept man."
Jiang Qing’s suspicions grew.
There’s no way Su Hua would just fall for another man. Something’s off here.
What’s really going on?
Unless… he is Lin Xuan. That’s the only explanation she could think of.
But how?
This man looked nothing like Lin Xuan. She’d even scrutinized him for signs of a disguise—a mask, perhaps—but found nothing. No technology could make a fake face this convincing.
Meanwhile, the two Golden Dragon Gang subordinates Lin Xuan had brought along were equally stunned.
"Did the Night Rose leader just take a liking to our boss?"
"Seems like it. Why else would she ask him to be her man?"
"I heard the Night Rose leader is stunning, and she’s the head of the gang. If our boss became her man, it wouldn’t be a bad deal. A small sacrifice for a big gain."
"Are you insane? Our boss already has a woman he loves. He even put off dealing with Night Rose for her. You think he’d agree to this nonsense?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but entertain the thought.
If the boss and the Night Rose leader got together, the Golden Dragon Gang would dominate the underground scene.
He shook his head violently.
What was he thinking?
Su Hua was the assassin known as "Ling." Even if the boss agreed (which he wouldn’t), Su Hua’s possessiveness would never allow it. She might even kill him.
Right now, every eye from both gangs was locked onto Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan’s gaze darkened.
So the Night Rose leader really did have her sights set on him. Maybe he should’ve gone with an uglier disguise.
"Leader of Night Rose," Lin Xuan said coldly, "I already have a girlfriend. Your request is impossible."
Su Hua’s eyes curved slightly.
Good boy, A-Xuan.
If he’d agreed, she’d have been furious.
"Then, Leader Lin, if you refuse, our alliance might not happen," Su Hua said, her delicate brows lifting.
Lin Xuan’s expression remained icy. "Then so be it. I’m a man. I won’t betray my girlfriend for the sake of my gang’s interests."
"If Night Rose insists on this condition, then we’ll settle this with force."
He turned to leave.
"Wait."
Su Hua called him back.
"Any other instructions, Leader of Night Rose?" Lin Xuan’s tone was frosty.
"Leader Lin, your loyalty to your girlfriend is admirable. Don’t worry—I won’t force you to be mine. Instead, let’s compete. Best of three. If you win, Night Rose will ally with the Golden Dragon Gang."
A-Xuan had hidden too much from her.
She wanted to see what he was truly capable of.
"Fine." Lin Xuan nodded.
The Night Rose members couldn’t resist whispering again.
"I heard the Golden Dragon Gang leader is insanely skilled. Can he really beat our leader?"
"No way. Our leader’s no pushover either."
"Tch. That Golden Dragon Gang is too arrogant. Let our leader teach them a lesson—show them Night Rose’s power."
Most of them were just here for the show.
Jiang Qing rubbed her chin.
Something told her an upset was coming.
"Leader of Night Rose, what’s the first challenge?" Lin Xuan asked.
Su Hua smiled. "How about a fight?"
"Agreed."
He’d trained relentlessly in this very arena. He was confident he could win.
On the dueling platform, Su Hua and Lin Xuan stood at opposite ends.
"Leader! You’ve got this!" The Night Rose members cheered.
The Golden Dragon Gang, including Wang Ba, only had three people. But they refused to be outdone.
"Boss! You can win!" they shouted hoarsely.
"Leader of Night Rose," Lin Xuan said, "you’re certain that if I win two rounds, the alliance stands?"
Su Hua chuckled. "My word is my bond."
"Then I’ll ask for your guidance."
Lin Xuan bowed.
The duel began.
Lin Xuan’s fists cut through the air with brutal force, but Su Hua’s lithe form dodged every strike with effortless grace.
The spectators were mesmerized.
"This is insane! I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but the Golden Dragon Gang leader really is this strong!"
"Unbelievable. He’s holding his own against our leader. I thought she’d crush him, but now I’m not so sure."
"Who knew he could last this long? Even our best fighters can’t take more than forty of her moves."
A wave of respect for Lin Xuan swept through the crowd.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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.
