At the exit.
A dense crowd of people was lined up in a queue.
At this moment, there were tens of thousands of people inside the venue.
The others had either been killed by Guo Duan for resisting in secret or had fled after handing over their rare treasures.
Some had also perished due to infighting.
Among them, a few had secretly gathered thousands of people, forming a resistance force.
But they were all slaughtered by Guo Duan.
"Should we wait for the fifth Son of Destiny to arrive?"
Inside the wooden cabin, Ye Wangchuan was deep in thought.
At this moment, it had already been forty-seven hours since Ye Wangchuan began his Soul Purification.
As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would successfully break through to the third level in just one more hour.
Soon.
An hour passed just like that.
Ye Wangchuan smoothly broke through to the early stage of the third level.
After all, Ye Wangchuan was a villain, not a Son of Destiny.
Unexpected interruptions during breakthroughs were reserved for the Sons of Destiny.
What did that have to do with a villain like him?
"Phew~"
Ye Wangchuan let out a long exhale.
Four days and nights of continuous thinking, combined with the effects of the Soul Purification Pills, had yielded remarkable results.
Now, Ye Wangchuan's mind could handle multiple tasks simultaneously without any issue.
Solving math problems with his left hand, drawing with his right, and reciting a poem at the same time?
Piece of cake.
This was the power of Soul Purification.
Ye Wangchuan was beginning to wonder how far the so-called Core Condensation at the fourth level could push the body.
According to the diary he had read underground, the fourth level and the third level were not even in the same realm of existence.
Judging by Guo Duan's overwhelming strength, which was leagues ahead of others, it seemed to be true.
Lost in thought, Ye Wangchuan walked into the living room of the wooden cabin.
Living room.
Li Luo: "Ye Wangchuan is such a small fry~ Just by leaning on his back and saying a few words, rubbing against him, he gets all flustered. He tries to act calm on the surface, but he's such a small fry~"
Puppet: "Small fry?"
Li Luo: "Small fry means a minor character."
Puppet: "Oh, I see. Small fry~"
Li Luo: "Small fry Ye Wangchuan~ Small fry..."
[Villain Emotion Points +200]
[Current Balance: 10,500 points]
Ye Wangchuan: "What are you doing?"
"..."
Li Luo stiffly turned her head toward Ye Wangchuan, putting on a serious face.
"I was telling this puppet about your glorious achievements!"
Puppet: "Small fry Ye Wangchuan~"
"..."
[Villain Emotion Points +100]
[Current Balance: 10,600 points]
"You've corrupted my puppet, and now you're insulting me. Pay me ninety Cultivation Pills and thirty Foundation Building Pills."
Ye Wangchuan spoke with a look of exasperation.
Li Luo was instantly shocked and cursed back.
"Wow! You really dare to ask for that much!"
"I'll give you a Body Tempering Pill. This thing can shorten your second-level breakthrough from two months to just six hours. Deal?"
As he spoke, Ye Wangchuan took out a Body Tempering Pill.
Hearing this, Li Luo checked her system space.
After a month of killing monsters, chopping trees, and teasing Ye Wangchuan, she had accumulated 10,600 Villain Emotion Points!
And this was after she and Ye Wangchuan had used a bunch of explosive talismans!
"Deal!"
Seeing that she had so many Villain Emotion Points, Li Luo decisively spent 5,400 points to purchase ninety Cultivation Pills and thirty Foundation Building Pills.
At the same time, her remaining Villain Emotion Points dropped from 10,600 to 5,200.
But Li Luo didn't feel the slightest bit of regret.
Saving two months of breakthrough time? This deal was a total win for her!
An absolute steal!
"Wait a second, I need to find something in my spatial bracelet."
As she spoke, Li Luo took off her shoe.
This action wasn't to show Ye Wangchuan her delicate little foot to negotiate a better price.
It was to remove a bracelet from her ankle.
That bracelet was her spatial bracelet.
Though not as advanced as a spatial ring, its storage space was just enough for Li Luo's needs.
The reason she wore it on her ankle was that her wrists were too thin, and the bracelet kept slipping off.
Left with no choice, she opted to wear it on her ankle.
Holding the bracelet, Li Luo pretended to concentrate and released the 120 pills from her system space.
The reason for this act was that Li Luo didn't want Ye Wangchuan to know she had a system.
She feared that if Ye Wangchuan found out, he might imprison her in a dungeon and force her to grind rewards every day.
Li Luo felt that even if she secretly saved up a ninth-level experience card, she probably still wouldn't be able to defeat Ye Zhentian.
Seeing that all the pills were accounted for, Ye Wangchuan nodded in satisfaction, stored them away, and tossed the Body Tempering Pill to Li Luo.
Body Tempering Pills were something he could easily get a few of by just asking the Fourth Elder.
Trading one for so many of Li Luo's pills was an absolute win.
Besides, Li Luo's cultivation level really needed a boost. He couldn't hold her back too much.
Otherwise, she'd just drag him down.
This deal?
A total win for both sides!
At this moment, both parties were extremely satisfied with the exchange.
Li Luo immediately swallowed the pill and began her Body Tempering process.
After all, Body Tempering didn't have as many requirements as Soul Purification. She just needed to abstain from eating, drinking, and sleeping for six hours.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan checked his spatial ring.
Inside the spatial ring.
Including the 120 pills he had just received, there were now...
165 Cultivation Pills and 55 Foundation Building Pills!
Over the past month, Ye Wangchuan had chopped down hundreds of thousands of trees.
Li Luo had promised Ye Wangchuan that for every five gold coins' worth of rare treasures he obtained, she would give him one Cultivation Pill.
On top of that, Ye Wangchuan had been occasionally squeezing Li Luo for more.
Bit by bit, he had accumulated this much.
In theory, the number of pills shouldn't have been this low.
Unfortunately, after the first week of the secret realm opening, most of the rare treasures in the forest had already been scavenged.
Li Luo was after the treasures on the trees, not the trees themselves.
Naturally, she gave fewer pills afterward.
Even so, it was still quite a lot.
Moreover, from the mid-second level to the late-second level, nearing his breakthrough, Ye Wangchuan had consumed about 105 Cultivation Pills and 35 Foundation Building Pills.
In just one month, the number of pills he had consumed was several times more than what he had eaten back in Chang'an.
Ye Wangchuan roughly calculated that he only needed another 120 Cultivation Pills and 40 Foundation Building Pills to break through to the mid-third level.
As for reaching the late-third level, he didn't have enough.
With that in mind, Ye Wangchuan immediately started devouring the pills.
One hundred and sixty pills, one per second.
In no time, Ye Wangchuan's cultivation successfully broke through to the mid-third level.
It had to be said...
Wasn't his cultivation progressing just a bit too fast?
Ye Wangchuan's lips twitched.
In just one month, he had gone from the early second level to the mid-third level.
An average person would take about forty years to reach the third level.
Yet he had done it in forty days.
Li Luo's system was truly absurd.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

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'!"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely."

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...
