The Li Family.
"Uncle Li, I'm back."
As she spoke, Li Luo pushed open the door and walked into a room.
Inside the room, at a wooden table.
Old Man Li and a short old man, only 1.4 meters tall, were sitting at the table, engaged in conversation.
Seeing Li Luo return,
Old Man Li turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat serious.
"Why didn’t you come back all night? Where did you go? Let me tell you, there are many people with bad intentions out there, especially for a young girl like you..."
"I spent the night on Spirit Mountain with Ye Wangchuan," Li Luo interrupted.
"But then again, you really do need to go out on your own to develop some independence," Old Man Li’s expression instantly softened.
Li Luo’s mouth twitched.
Damn, everyone in the Li Family really does change their expression as soon as they hear Ye Wangchuan’s name.
Is Ye Wangchuan some kind of special switch?
At this moment, Old Man Li spoke again.
"By the way, Li Luo, let me introduce you to the person beside me. He is the Grand Elder of the Li Family. You must have met him on the Heaven Rank."
Hearing this, Li Luo looked at the short old man, the Grand Elder of the Li Family.
Back when she was tied up by Ye Wangchuan on the Heaven Rank, it was the Grand Elder who saved her.
As a price, she had now joined the Li Family.
Li Luo nodded and said politely,
"Greetings, Grand Elder."
"Haha, no need to be so formal. Just a casual introduction is fine," the Grand Elder waved his hand, smiling.
"Li Luo, I assume you haven’t joined a sect yet. Coincidentally, I’ve recently freed up some time. I can teach you my Ink Art technique. It’s very powerful."
"Uh, sorry, I’ve already joined a sect called the Sparrow Sect," Li Luo said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Man Li and the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment.
The next second,
Old Man Li frowned, his expression serious again.
"You’re a member of a noble family. Why would you join a sect? And what kind of sect is this Sparrow Sect? I’ve never even heard of it. Could it be a Devil Path Sect..."
"Ye Wangchuan is also in the Sparrow Sect," Li Luo interrupted.
"But then again, one really can’t stay in the family forever. Otherwise, they’ll just become lazy," Old Man Li’s expression changed once more.
Beside him,
the Grand Elder, having been rejected, showed no particular emotion.
He just smiled and said,
"Well then, Li Luo, you can learn the techniques of the Sparrow Sect for now. If you have time in the future, you can come to me and learn the Ink Art."
"Alright," Li Luo nodded.
Afterward, they discussed a few more things.
In truth, Li Luo had come here mainly to inform them that she would be spending a lot of time on Spirit Mountain from now on.
Old Man Li naturally had no objections.
After all, Li Luo was staying with Ye Wangchuan. How could he possibly object?
As they were talking,
Knock, knock, knock.
A servant knocked on the door.
"Come in. What is it?"
"Master, Young Master Ye Wangchuan from the Ye Family has arrived at the main gate of the Li Family. He says he’s here to see Miss Li Luo."
"Oh, just... who? Ye Wangchuan! Let him in! If anyone dares to stop him, I’ll have their head!"
Old Man Li instantly perked up.
Damn!
Not only did Li Luo willingly spend the night with Ye Wangchuan,
but now Ye Wangchuan is actively seeking out Li Luo!
Holy crap!
This is definitely a sign!
The Li Family is about to board the Ye Family’s ship!
Old Man Li grew more and more excited as he thought about it, quickly urging Li Luo to go out and see what was going on.
...
The Li Family.
In a garden.
Ye Wangchuan sat on a wooden chair, eating fruit while waiting for Li Luo.
As for Fang Que, she had been taken by a female servant of the Li Family to a separate room to have her measurements taken for custom-made clothes.
After a while, Li Luo arrived in the garden.
She walked over and plopped down next to Ye Wangchuan, casually picking up some golden grapes to eat.
While munching on the grapes, she mumbled,
"What do you want?"
"Later, I need you to help me kill someone. In return, I’ll waive one day of your rent."
Ye Wangchuan said casually.
Hearing this, Li Luo was about to complain about how it was only one day.
But the next second, she turned her head in confusion and asked,
"Help you kill someone????"
"Yeah, you already killed Tang San. Killing one more person shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
Ye Wangchuan said matter-of-factly.
Li Luo waved her hand, shaking her head, about to refuse.
But the next second,
[Ding, special event detected. System task issued.]
[Option 1]: Refuse to help Ye Wangchuan kill someone.
Task reward: A "Model Student" certificate, showcasing the host’s kindness.
[Option 2]: Agree to help Ye Wangchuan kill someone.
Task reward: 6 Low-Grade Cultivation Pills, 2 Low-Grade Foundation Building Pills, +100 Villain Points.
[Option 3]: Pretend to help Ye Wangchuan, but betray him at the critical moment!
Task reward: 5 Low-Grade Foundation Building Pills, 2 Explosion Talismans, +500 Villain Points.
Hearing this series of electronic voices in her head, Li Luo’s mouth twitched.
She had almost forgotten that her system had a task-issuing function.
Looking at these three options, Li Luo pondered for a moment.
Option 2 was clearly the best, right?
No matter how good the rewards for Option 3 were, she’d need to be alive to enjoy them.
Having made up her mind, Li Luo turned to Ye Wangchuan and said,
"Alright, Ye Wangchuan. I’ll help you kill someone. But you have to waive a week of my rent! One day is too little!"
"Deal."
Ye Wangchuan nodded in agreement.
He was a bit surprised that Li Luo had agreed so easily.
But then again, it made sense.
A single life was nothing compared to the value of twenty-one Cultivation Pills.
After finalizing the deal, the two prepared to get up and carry out the killing.
Well...
It’s perfectly normal for a Child of Destiny and a villain to team up to kill another Child of Destiny, right?
...
Meanwhile, Su Fugui.
Su Fugui, on the other hand, didn’t have as much going on.
First, he dressed himself up handsomely at a clothing shop.
Then, with the remaining money, he bought a luxurious carriage, a grand mansion, hired some servants, bought some furniture, had a lavish meal, and even took on a beautiful servant as part of his harem, among other things.
During this time, Su Fugui did face some challenges—being doubted about his ability to afford the carriage, questioned about buying the mansion, and having his servant harassed by some thugs.
But these were all minor issues.
Soon, evening arrived.
"Hmm... I only have 50 gold left. I’ll stop here for today. I’ll continue tomorrow when the 1000 gold comes in."
Su Fugui walked along the night road, looking at the 9 enhancement points on his system panel.
"Hmm... It took 30 enhancement points to reach the early stage of the first level. These 9 points definitely aren’t enough to reach the mid-stage. I’ll save them for now."
As Su Fugui was thinking,
the next second, two shadowy figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
One man and one woman.
Su Fugui’s eyes narrowed as he carefully examined them.
It was...
Tang Mo and his trusted guard!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
le for a sister-in-law. But Xu Mu couldn’t bring himself to rejoice. The reason? He had transmigrated into the brainless villain of a novel—one who abused his wife, forced the Dragon King’s sister to live in a doghouse, and ended up having his ashes scattered upon the Dragon King’s return. Fortunately, Xu Mu awakened the "Justice System," and he was determined to rewrite his doomed fate. A wife should be cherished, and of course, his sister-in-law deserved to sleep in the villa’s cozy bed. When the Dragon King finally returned, he was greeted by a loving and harmonious family. Xu Mu soon realized that aside from the Dragon King, countless other protagonists began emerging—all targeting him—forcing him to fight back. You have a few breathtakingly beautiful senior sisters? Sorry, but they’re my senior sisters now. You’re a retired soldier king searching for your first love? Too bad—your "white moonlight" already sees me as hers. …
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'!"
] 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.
