For safety's sake, Ye Wangchuan decided to ask a passerby first.
He looked around and spotted a scholar who seemed intelligent.
"Do you know who Tang San is?" Ye Wangchuan asked.
"Y-Ye... Ye Shao?!"
The scholar trembled at the sight of Ye Wangchuan approaching.
Although rumors said that Ye Wangchuan was a carefree rich kid who did nothing but wander around, the only time he got into a fight was when he was framed.
Still, being close to such a wealthy young master was undeniably intimidating.
"Spit it out," Ye Wangchuan said impatiently, slapping a few silver coins into the scholar's hand.
"At your service," the scholar said, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the money. He began to explain.
"Tang San is the young master of the Tang family. But his character... tsk tsk, let's just say he's morally bankrupt."
"And because Tang San constantly boasts about being betrayed three times, he has a nickname."
Ye Wangchuan: "Three...?"
The scholar: "Uh, no. It's Tang Liuzi."
[Villain Emotional Value +500]
If the scholar had a system, he would have seen this notification.
Ye Wangchuan suppressed the emotions bubbling inside him and continued to inquire.
But now it seemed Tang San was someone he didn't need to worry about.
In a way, Tang San was also a so-called "chosen one."
...
...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing Option Two.]
[Option Two]: Reached Rank 66 or above on the Heaven Rank.
Reward: 5 Low-grade Cultivation Pills + 2 Low-grade Foundation Building Pills.
[Rewards have been deposited into the system space.]
Meanwhile.
Li Luo looked at the rewards she had received and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad.
Although she didn't complete Option Three, which had better rewards, at least she didn't end up doing Option One.
As for Villain Emotional Value, hehe! With the Li family backing her, she had nothing to fear!
She didn't know how powerful the Li family was, but it couldn't be too bad.
All she had to do was find the right moment to call Ye Wangchuan a "small fry," and it would be a piece of cake!
Just as Li Luo was thinking this, she saw Ye Wangchuan gathering information.
Heh, Villain Emotional Value, here it comes!
"Oh, isn't this Ye Shao? Just now on the Heaven Rank, you—"
Before she could finish.
Ye Wangchuan quickly reached out and clamped his hand over Li Luo's mouth, silencing her completely.
"Alright, you can go now," Ye Wangchuan said to the scholar.
Such scholars loved gossip the most, so Ye Wangchuan covered Li Luo's mouth to prevent her from deliberately taunting him in front of the scholar.
After all, if Li Luo started taunting, it would definitely be filled with insults.
"Oh, okay, okay," the scholar said, though he had no idea what was going on, he nodded and left.
After the scholar was gone.
Li Luo's forehead twitched with anger.
Damn it, how long does this villain plan to cover my mouth?!
Li Luo angrily opened her mouth and bit down on the hand in front of her.
[Villain Emotional Value +40]
[Villain Emotional Value +40]
[Current remaining: 300 points.]
"Are you a dog? Biting people now," Ye Wangchuan said, exasperated, pinching Li Luo's cheek to free his hand.
He looked at his hand.
"You drew blood. You owe me."
Ye Wangchuan showed his hand to Li Luo.
Li Luo, her face pinched, mumbled angrily, "Li huogai!" (You deserved it!)
"Such an unreasonable woman," Ye Wangchuan sighed, shaking his head.
Then he suddenly thought of something and took out the Cultivation Pill Li Luo had given him earlier.
Ye Wangchuan picked one, crushed it, and shoved it into Li Luo's mouth.
"Mmm..."
Li Luo trembled all over.
Not for any other reason.
As soon as the Cultivation Pill entered her mouth, a bitter taste, like concentrated herbal medicine, surged out, assaulting her taste buds.
She immediately began to struggle and twist.
"Behave and swallow the pill," Ye Wangchuan said, pinning Li Luo against the wall, lifting her head back, and covering her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out.
He stared at her intently.
Only when Li Luo finally gulped down the pill did Ye Wangchuan let go.
Li Luo collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and coughing.
"Cough! Cough! What the hell are you doing?!"
"I was testing it for poison," Ye Wangchuan said bluntly.
Li Luo smirked. "Haha, actually, out of those twelve pills, one of them is a poison pill. Why don't you try them one by one for me?"
Ye Wangchuan: "The one I fed you was a mix of a bit from each pill."
Li Luo: "..."
After saying that, Ye Wangchuan pulled Li Luo up from the ground.
Then he took out the remaining Cultivation Pills, popped one into his own mouth, and swallowed it.
Li Luo immediately looked up.
She wanted to see if Ye Wangchuan would be overwhelmed by the bitterness of the Cultivation Pill.
But clearly.
It had no effect.
Ye Wangchuan swallowed the pill expressionlessly, feeling his aura increase significantly.
At the same time, he confirmed something.
Li Luo had a system!
The crazy alchemists had been researching for tens of thousands of years and still hadn't developed a pill that could unconditionally increase cultivation.
So how could Li Luo do it?
Combined with Li Luo's ability to magically produce pills earlier.
Ye Wangchuan believed that a system was the best explanation.
But on the surface, Ye Wangchuan just smiled and patted Li Luo's shoulder.
"This is pretty good. Give me twelve more pills to strengthen my foundation."
"I only have two! Where would I get twelve..."
Li Luo reflexively retorted.
As soon as she said it, she quickly covered her mouth.
Crap.
She'd been tricked.
She should have said she didn't have such pills.
Ye Wangchuan: "I knew it. Give them to me."
Li Luo: "Are you a beggar? No way!"
Ye Wangchuan: "You bit my hand. Compensation."
Li Luo: "You deserved it!"
Ye Wangchuan: "Such an unreasonable woman. I was just afraid the scholar would hear your slander."
Li Luo: "Uh... fine, I'll give you one."
As the two were arguing.
A middle-aged man walked up behind Ye Wangchuan and spoke.
"Is this Li Luo? I'm one of the Elders of the Li family. Since you've just arrived at the Li family, I'll be responsible for teaching you some of our rules and..."
"Perfect timing! Elder, I accidentally bit this guy, and he's demanding compensation. Elder, please help me settle this," Li Luo said to the Elder.
The Elder, however, had no intention of paying. Instead, he directly scolded the person in front of Li Luo.
"Who's bratty child dares to ask for compensation for a mere bite from our Li family's genius... Ah, Ye Shao, my apologies, please continue."
"This Li Luo is currently an outsider and hasn't joined the Li family yet. Her actions have nothing to do with us."
Upon seeing Ye Wangchuan, the Elder quickly changed his tone, smoothly pivoted, and elegantly exited the scene.
Li Luo: "???"
Wait, what?
I'm a genius who reached Rank 97!
You're just going to sell me out like this?
I just bit Ye Wangchuan, is that really such a big deal?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
