The Ye Family.
At this moment, the Ye Family was ablaze with lights and bustling with activity, a scene of unparalleled splendor and liveliness.
To show off in grand style, Ye Zhentian had invited every notable family in Chang'an City. Even ordinary passersby were welcomed to partake in a hearty meal of braised pork knuckle before departing.
"Greetings, Lord Li, and welcome to the banquet. Lord Ye is awaiting you inside. Shall I assist you with parking your carriage?"
"That would be troublesome for you."
At the entrance, Old Man Li handed the reins of his horse to the attendant. The attendant swiftly climbed onto the carriage and began searching for a suitable parking spot.
"Let's go."
Old Man Li smiled at Li Luo and made his way into the Ye Family estate.
It was only now that Li Luo finally got a glimpse of the Ye Family's grandeur.
The estate was vast and exquisitely decorated. In both appearance and aura, it rivaled even the imperial palace.
Previously, Li Luo had thought the Li Family's estate was quite impressive.
But compared to the Ye Family...
Well, Li Luo now understood why the Li Family elders dared not provoke Ye Wangchuan.
Entering the Ye Family, they first arrived in a massive courtyard.
Hundreds of tables were set up within, and Ye Family maids, servants, and guards were all merrily enjoying the feast.
It felt... somewhat like attending a grand banquet.
Li Luo glanced around and noticed that each table was occupied by over a dozen people.
And this was just one of the courtyards; the Ye Family certainly had more.
This meant that the Ye Family alone had at least tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of servants!
And this didn't even include those who were still working and not partaking in the feast.
Li Luo's mouth twitched. With so many servants, if they were all mobilized for a fight, they would form a formidable force.
Passing through the courtyard, they arrived at a wooden building.
The entrance to this building was no ordinary door.
Instead, it was a door adorned with a massive eyeball the size of a bowl.
Old Man Li approached the eyeball and tapped it.
The eyeball winced in pain, narrowing its gaze before reluctantly opening wide to glance at Old Man Li.
In the next moment, the door creaked open.
Squeak~
As soon as the door opened, inside, several old men were gathered around sipping tea.
Seeing Old Man Li, the other elders quickly greeted him.
"Oh! Isn't this Old Man Li? Come, come, sit here, sit here."
"Hey, Old Man Li, why didn't you bring your son, Li Youde, along?"
"Hmph! Him? Don't even mention it! He's nothing but a disgrace."
After a few rounds of banter, Old Man Li turned to Li Luo and said,
"Li Luo, I need to catch up with these old friends. You go ahead and join the young folks for a bit."
"Alright."
Li Luo nodded and glanced toward the other area.
While the elders were busy gossiping and chatting, the younger crowd was mostly engaged in various activities.
Some were arm wrestling, others were showcasing their divine abilities, and a few were dancing and singing.
Li Luo walked to a long table, picked up a golden grape, and popped it into her mouth.
Hmm... quite sweet.
She picked up another.
And another.
And...
Just as Li Luo was about to grab a few more, she suddenly noticed.
At a quiet, secluded window, Ye Wangchuan was quietly sipping tea, engaged in conversation with a white-haired youth.
...
...
"Ye Wangchuan, no, Brother Ye! You truly amaze me!"
"Back when I saw you spending your days idly wandering the streets, I thought you were lazy and unambitious."
"But now, seeing your 99-rank supreme talent and your ability to break through to the initial stage of cultivation in a single afternoon, you are truly a genius among geniuses!"
Liu Han was lavish with his praise, showering Ye Wangchuan with compliments.
This left Ye Wangchuan feeling somewhat speechless.
Is this the so-called "chosen one" who's supposed to oppose me?
Liu Han is practically turning into a fanboy, ready to follow me around!
"Haha, Liu Han, you flatter me. Your talent of 96 ranks isn't far behind mine."
"As for my cultivation, it's merely the initial stage—nothing to boast about."
As the two exchanged compliments,
Li Luo, munching on grapes, walked over and interjected,
"Ye Wangchuan, your talent is actually only 90 ranks. The 99 ranks came from eating Marrow Cleansing Fruit—mmph!"
Before Li Luo could finish, Ye Wangchuan grabbed a pear from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Marrow Cleansing Fruit?"
Liu Han tilted his head, not quite understanding what that was.
This was normal.
The only Marrow Cleansing Fruit tree in the world had been monopolized by Ye Zhentian for countless millennia.
And Ye Zhentian never sold these fruits; instead, he hoarded them as a reserve asset.
As a result, only a few ancient beings from the same era as Ye Zhentian knew about the Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
But these old beings also understood Ye Zhentian's terrifying power and dared not even think about stealing the fruits.
"You're done here. Go find Old Zhang or Old Jiang and play with them."
Ye Wangchuan waved his hand, dismissing Liu Han.
Liu Han nodded and left the area.
At this moment, Li Luo finally managed to pull the pear out of her mouth.
"Mmph... pfft! Ye Wangchuan, you scoundrel—"
She was about to unleash a tirade of curses at Ye Wangchuan.
But remembering Ye Wangchuan's vengeful nature, Li Luo swallowed her words.
Instead, she forced out a compliment,
"You... you are a man radiating with charm."
【Villain's Emotional Value +20】
【Current balance: 70 points】
Since she couldn't curse, Li Luo had no choice but to compliment Ye Wangchuan.
It was nauseating... but only by doing so could she earn some villain sentiment value.
At this moment, Ye Wangchuan...
"?"
What?
Why is she suddenly complimenting me?
Is she crazy?
Trying to curry favor with me?
Ha! As if I'd be swayed by such shallow flattery!
With that thought, Ye Wangchuan merely responded coldly,
"Is there something you need? Why are you here?"
"Nothing much. There are so many people here, and I only know you. Can't I just hang out here for a while?"
Li Luo casually replied, pulling out a stool and sitting down.
She had already planned it out.
She would stay here all night, racking up the villain's emotional value!
Buy a bunch of elixirs! Break through her cultivation! Surpass Ye Wangchuan!
Then, she'd humiliate him thoroughly! Earn even more villain sentiment points!
Phew~
Just as Li Luo was lost in her confident fantasies, a gust of wind blew through the window.
"Ugh..."
Li Luo shivered violently.
Ye Wangchuan glanced over and chuckled,
"Has the Li Family fallen so low that they can't even afford proper fabric? Why are you wearing such thin clothes?"
"I don't know... give me your coat!"
Unable to bear the cold any longer, Li Luo demanded.
Ye Wangchuan glanced at his own coat, thought for a moment, and said,
"Three cultivation pills."
"You might as well rob me! One cultivation pill!"
"Three cultivation pills."
"It's just a coat! I don't want it!"
Frustrated, Li Luo huffed, curling her legs up to try and warm herself.
But with each gust of wind, she'd barely warm up before being chilled again.
Li Luo could only lift her stool, shifting her position, hoping Ye Wangchuan would block the wind for her.
Seeing this, Ye Wangchuan would subtly move slightly each time Li Luo found a spot, ensuring the wind continued to blow on her.
After a while, shivering uncontrollably and feeling utterly frozen, Li Luo finally relented,
"Two cultivation pills! I'll give you two cultivation pills! Is that enough?!"
"Three cultivation pills."
"Fine, fine! Three cultivation pills it is! Now give me the coat!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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'!"
