While Bai Piao was mentally cursing Ye Wangchuan,
BOOM!
A passerby charged forward and landed a solid punch right on Bai Piao's face.
Her train of thought was instantly disrupted.
So were her teeth.
"Damn it! You dog! You're getting ahead of the game, huh?!"
"Hit her in the gut! The gut hurts more!"
"Nonsense! You gotta hit her head!"
With someone taking the lead, other passersby swarmed in to join the assault on Bai Piao.
They were all afraid that they wouldn't hit hard enough to earn a share of the massive fortune in Ye Wangchuan's hands.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
"Aaaaaahhhh!"
The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed.
Bai Piao's heart-wrenching screams were incessant.
Ye Wangchuan stood in the background, watching the scene with great satisfaction.
Ye Wangchuan was an advocate for gender equality.
Whether male or female, if you acted like a jerk, you deserved a beating.
...
The beating lasted for ten minutes.
It wasn't until Ye Wangchuan's guards intervened that the crowd finally stopped the attack.
Because Bai Piao was on the verge of death.
"Young Master, this woman is almost beaten to death. How should we handle her?"
"Oh? Let me take a look."
The guards cleared a path through the crowd, allowing Ye Wangchuan to step forward.
Ye Wangchuan arrived at the center of the crowd and saw Bai Piao lying on the ground, her body covered in bruises and contusions, her face distorted from the beating, and she had even lost control of her bladder.
He nodded in satisfaction and turned to one of the guards.
"Among this crowd, who hit her the hardest?"
"Young Master, it was that man."
The guard pointed to a burly, muscular man and explained further.
"He's a butcher, so he naturally has a lot of strength, and he also has the cultivation of the first level. If I hadn't reminded him, that woman would have been smashed to death!"
"Good, reward him."
Ye Wangchuan grinned and tossed a money bag directly to the butcher.
As the sole heir of the Ye family, Ye Wangchuan was never short of money.
If he ever decided to throw money into a lake for fun, the lake would probably be filled before he even finished.
The reason he hadn't given Bai Piao that bag of money earlier wasn't because he was stingy; it was simply because he didn't want to.
Stealing money and still acting so brazenly? Not a chance!
"Holy crap! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Young Master Ye!!"
The butcher's eyes lit up as he received the money.
He was so excited that he kept thanking Ye Wangchuan, almost ready to kneel and call him "dad"!
The reason was simple.
This butcher would have to work for three full years to earn that bag of money.
And that was with his cultivation at the first level.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have to work for at least five years to earn that amount!
The other passersby around them were all stirred up by jealousy upon seeing the butcher receive the reward.
However, seeing the butcher's imposing build and his cultivation level, they could only suppress their evil intentions.
"Alright, all of you, leave now."
Ye Wangchuan waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.
After the passersby left, he turned to the guards.
"Bring me a bucket of water, and wake this woman up."
The guard nodded and fetched the water.
SWISH!!!
"Pfft, cough cough!"
As a bucket of water was poured over her face, Bai Piao was instantly awakened, choking and coughing.
Seeing Ye Wangchuan towering over her, she immediately realized what was happening and, despite the pain, begged for mercy.
"Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye! I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong, ahhh!"
"I shouldn't have stolen your money! I shouldn't have lied to blackmail you! I shouldn't have slandered you! Accused you!"
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!!"
Bai Piao's plea poured out.
If not for the fact that several of her bones were broken and she could barely move, she would have knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.
Of course, Bai Piao wasn't really admitting her mistake.
She just realized one thing.
Ye Wangchuan was absolutely willing to beat up women!
Why, why is that?!
Aren't men supposed to be chivalrous toward women?
Ye Wangchuan chuckled and walked over.
"Deserving to die? Well, that's not entirely necessary. I'm a very kind-hearted person, you know."
At this, Bai Piao's face lit up with hope.
Her begging was working!
"Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, you're absolutely right! I don't deserve to die, and if I die, no one will be able to clear your name from my false accusations!"
"Everyone will think that you played me and then refused to take responsibility, leading to your frustration and ordering this beating!"
"But look, if I live, I can help clear your name and restore your innocence!"
Bai Piao spoke excitedly.
She thought her words were absolutely brilliant.
"No, no, no, you didn't slander me at all."
Ye Wangchuan still wore a cheerful smile as he continued.
"Because I'm actually planning to do what you said—play with you."
"Of course, you're not even worthy of that."
With that, Ye Wangchuan snapped his fingers.
Two guards stepped forward and lifted the Bai Piao who was lying on the ground.
"Huh?"
Bai Piao looked at Ye Wangchuan in confusion.
The next moment.
"Take this woman to the mountain village."
Ye Wangchuan said the most terrifying words with the kindest expression.
At this, Bai Piao's pupils constricted.
The mountain village.
In a nicer tone, it was a village in the mountains.
In a harsher tone, it was a group of poor people who couldn't afford to live in Chang'an City and had fled to the wilderness.
Most of the women in the mountain village were ugly and fat.
After all, if they were attractive, they wouldn't have ended up in the mountain village. Even working as a servant in a wealthy household would have been better.
One could imagine how desperate the men in the mountain village must be.
Bai Piao's face was beaten and distorted, but it was still somewhat presentable.
Therefore, if she were thrown into the mountain village, she would definitely be kept alive by those poor men!
Used over and over again as a tool for their desires!
"No!! I don't want to go to the mountain village!!!"
"Please, Young Master Ye! I don't want to! I'd rather die!"
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!!"
Bai Piao screamed and struggled frantically.
If she were sent to the mountain village, it would truly be a fate worse than death!
Unfortunately, her limbs were already broken, with not a single bone intact.
Her struggle was more like a helpless twitch.
"I've already told you, you don't deserve to die. And I won't let you die."
"After throwing this woman to the mountain village, make sure to treat her injuries."
"I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't stand to see anyone die."
Ye Wangchuan said this with a smile.
As a villain, he was truly too kind. Even after being slandered, he didn't resort to killing.
What a virtuous man he was.
The guards, upon hearing the order, immediately prepared to take Bai Piao to the mountains.
"No!!!!!"
"I don't want to go to the mountain village!!!! Aaaaaahhhh!!!! Help! Help!!!"
Bai Piao's frantic screams naturally attracted more onlookers.
"What happened to this woman? Broken limbs and sent to the mountain village? Tsk tsk, what a tragedy."
"Hey, you don't know, this stupid woman just slandered Young Master Ye."
"Oh? Young Master Ye gets angry too? I thought he was always strolling around, quite kind-hearted."
"Apparently, Young Master Ye gave her several chances, but she just kept pushing her luck, which led to this outcome."
While the onlookers were busy discussing,
...
A petite loli walked by.
She glanced at Bai Piao, who was being beaten, then, as if she hadn't seen anything, prepared to slip away.
Heroic rescues and saving the damsel in distress? Let someone else handle that. She didn't want to get involved.
But at that moment, a voice rang in the little loli's mind.
【Ding, detecting the appearance of a great villain, the system assigns the following mission to the host, Li Luo.】
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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)

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.
