Luo Nangui stared at the red light on the turtle shell, utterly puzzled.
The next second.
Boom—!
Boom—!
Two earth-shattering explosions rang out!
Following the explosions came an intense heat and a wave of absolute destruction!
Luo Nangui had just taken the full brunt of two explosion talismans at point-blank range!
Whoosh—!
Whoosh—!
The entire tomb was engulfed in smoke from the explosions!
Whoosh—!
Ye Wangchuan took out a fan and waved it vigorously, dispersing the smoke in the area.
At this moment, he finally got a clear view of the scene.
A massive crater with a radius of forty meters had suddenly appeared in the center of the tomb!
Luo Nangui lay at the bottom of the crater!
In front of him was the shattered remains of a turtle shell shield.
His body was covered in burns.
Flesh, exposed bones, and charred skin.
These were the marks that now covered every part of Luo Nangui’s body.
Not a single patch of his skin was left unscathed!
This scene didn’t surprise Ye Wangchuan.
Li Luo’s explosion talismans were given by the system. Although their range wasn’t large, their power was terrifying!
A five-hundred-meter-long three-headed giant serpent had its scales shattered and bones exposed after being hit by three explosion talismans from a distance.
A ten-meter-tall three-tiered puppet had its lower half completely obliterated after being hit by two explosion talismans at close range.
And Luo Nangui, who was only 1.8 meters tall, had just taken two explosion talismans directly to the face!
Even with the shield mitigating some of the damage, the injury was still beyond measure!
“Aaaaaah!”
The searing pain hit him, and Luo Nangui let out a blood-curdling scream.
But Ye Wangchuan wasn’t about to give him a chance to recover!
Whoosh—!
A spear shot decisively toward Luo Nangui.
At that moment.
Thud—!
The sound of the spear piercing through flesh echoed.
But it wasn’t Luo Nangui’s chest.
Instead, Murong had spread her arms and stood in front of Luo Nangui, taking the blow.
Luo Nangui’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him.
Murong, on the other hand, smiled faintly.
Memories of the past two months with Luo Nangui flashed through her mind.
The first time they watched the stars together, the first time they soaked in a hot spring, the first time they tried stinky tofu…
Somehow, two months ago, Luo Nangui had changed. Every day, he brought something new into her life.
At first, she had only hired Luo Nangui as a guard because he was easy on the eyes. But before she knew it,
she had… grown somewhat attached to him!
With that thought, Murong smiled softly and reached out her blood-stained hand toward Luo Nangui’s cheek, saying,
“Luo Nangui, I’ve always…”
“!!!!”
Ye Wangchuan reacted instantly, rushing forward and clamping his hand over Murong’s mouth to stop her from confessing.
At the same time, he quickly pulled her hand back to prevent her from smearing blood on Luo Nangui’s face.
Then, Ye Wangchuan decisively took a few steps back with Murong, pressing a dagger to her neck.
Ye Wangchuan spoke first, his voice threatening.
“Take one more step, and her life is over.”
“You—!”
Luo Nangui glared at Ye Wangchuan, his eyes blazing with fury.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan’s mind was racing.
Damn it!
I messed up!
Only bringing two explosion talismans wasn’t enough to kill this guy outright!
With the way things are going, if this woman dies, the protagonist is definitely going to go berserk and power up!
Li Luo’s short legs will take at least a few dozen seconds to get here. There’s not enough time to finish the job!
Ye Wangchuan began frantically thinking of ways to prevent Luo Nangui from going berserk.
TV dramas, anime, comics, novels.
In a matter of seconds, Ye Wangchuan recalled nearly every piece of media he had consumed in his previous life.
His goal was to remember if there was any way for a villain to survive after severely injuring the female lead.
As he racked his brain, Ye Wangchuan suddenly remembered something.
Earlier, this woman had mentioned…
She was from the Mu Family of Yanjing!
Ye Wangchuan’s eyes lit up with inspiration!
He quickly shoved a medicinal pill into Murong’s mouth to stabilize her injuries and prevent her from dying, which would trigger the protagonist’s rage.
Then,
Ye Wangchuan leaned down and whispered into Murong’s ear.
“Miss, I’m sure you wouldn’t want your Mu Family in Yanjing to be wiped out, would you?”
“What?!”
Murong’s eyes widened in horror as she looked at Ye Wangchuan.
Satisfied with her reaction, Ye Wangchuan continued, “I’ve heard of the Mu Family, one of the great families of Yanjing. You must have heard of the Ye Family as well, right?”
“As it happens, I am the sole heir of the Ye Family. Right now, I have the Ye Family token on me, which can transmit messages across space instantly.”
“If I were to use this token to inform my father, Ye Zhentian, that the Mu Family is trying to kill me, what do you think would happen?”
“The answer is, not a single living thing in the Mu Family would survive past tomorrow. Just like the Lin Family of Yanjing.”
As Ye Wangchuan spoke these words, Murong’s pupils contracted in fear.
The Lin Family—once the top family in Yanjing!
Whether in terms of top-tier combat power or their legacy, they were an incredibly powerful family!
Even the current Long Family still falls short compared to the Lin Family of the past!
But for some unknown reason, one day, the Lin Family was completely wiped out by the Ye Family overnight!
Only children shorter than the height of a cart wheel were spared.
This was the reason Murong feared the Ye Family!
“What… what do you want me to do?”
Murong glared at Ye Wangchuan through gritted teeth.
Ye Wangchuan smirked and said softly,
“First, send that man away. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
“Fine… fine.”
Murong clenched her teeth and looked up at Luo Nangui.
At this moment, Luo Nangui was roaring at Ye Wangchuan, his eyes filled with rage.
But with the dagger pressed against Murong’s neck, he didn’t dare make a move.
All he could do was curse loudly.
“Ye Wangchuan, you scum! What kind of man attacks a woman?! If you’ve got any guts, stop using the young lady to threaten me! Come at me if you dare! You—”
“Enough! Luo Nangui, shut up!”
Murong suddenly shouted, cutting off Luo Nangui’s tirade.
Luo Nangui looked at her in shock.
“Luo Nangui! Young Master Ye Wangchuan is actually a kind person! You’re the one who misunderstood him and attacked him first! He was only defending himself!”
“Didn’t you see? He even gave me a pill to heal my injuries!”
“This is all your fault! Apologize to Young Master Ye Wangchuan right now! Then go back to the human camp and wait for me.”
“I’ll stay here and have a chat with Young Master Ye Wangchuan before I return.”
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

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.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
