Zheng Xiaofeng's first reaction was not one of joy.
His initial instinctive thought was—who in their right mind would like the Tianyan Sect for no reason?
But when he saw the ambiguous smile on Chu Xingchen's face, he suddenly snapped back to reality, his heart pounding.
If that's what you mean, then who wouldn't like it?
Even being a lackey at the Tianyan Sect would be worth it!
"You... you..." Zheng Xiaofeng stammered, "Are you talking about me?"
Chu Xingchen confirmed, "Yes, I'm talking about you."
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly replied, "Then of course I like it!"
Glancing at Zheng Xiaofeng's excited expression, Chu Xingchen drawled,
"Is the 'like' you're talking about the same kind of 'like' I'm thinking of?"
Faced with such an irresistible temptation, Zheng Xiaofeng firmly said, "It's definitely the kind of 'like' you're thinking of!"
Hearing the confirmation, Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction, then took out a Blood Qi Spirit Stone from his spatial ring and tossed it to Zheng Xiaofeng.
Instinctively catching the flying Blood Qi Spirit Stone, Zheng Xiaofeng looked down at it in his hand.
A sense of foreboding washed over him.
Chu Xingchen sighed, "Xiao Zheng, guess why I didn't take out this spirit stone in the main hall?"
Zheng Xiaofeng, being a reception elder, was quick on the uptake. With just a moment's thought, he understood.
It was probably something within the sect...
But understanding didn't mean he could say it out loud.
He played dumb, "It must be because you have your own plans."
"Is that so..." Chu Xingchen nodded lightly, using his spiritual power to retrieve the Blood Qi Spirit Stone from Zheng Xiaofeng's hand and returning it to his spatial ring.
Chu Xingchen turned around and continued walking forward, his tone displeased,
"Now it doesn't matter if you like it or not. The Tianyan Sect doesn't like you anymore."
Zheng Xiaofeng watched as the two figures gradually walked away, feeling as though he had missed a life-changing opportunity.
But all he could do was sigh. To this day, Zheng Xiaofeng still didn't know the names of the two Tianyan Sect disciples.
Just two sentences, and they wanted him to take such a risk? Impossible.
Forget it, he'd just been played by them.
Zheng Xiaofeng hurriedly took two steps forward to catch up with the two.
However, the recent interaction made Zheng Xiaofeng realize that the seemingly casual and handsome young man before him was probably not some naive sect disciple.
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly prepared himself mentally. In the upcoming actions, he would have to remain unshakable, steady as a mountain.
He didn't need to do anything extraordinary, just enough to avoid being questioned by the sect leader upon his return.
But what happened next took him by surprise.
Chu Xingchen simply wandered around the Qingfeng Sect with Yaoqin, and the questions he asked Zheng Xiaofeng were not sensitive at all.
In fact, they had nothing to do with demonic cultivators.
Chu Xingchen leisurely asked, "Xiao Zheng, does your Qingfeng Sect have any good food?"
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly clasped his hands and replied, "I've been fasting for many years... so I really wouldn't know."
"Then are there any scenic spots nearby?"
"...There aren't any particularly good views around here."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen turned back, displeased, "Xiao Zheng, you're narrowing your path."
Just as Zheng Xiaofeng was about to decline again, Yaoqin's icy gaze fell upon him.
Remembering the terrifying sword strike from the woman before him, Zheng Xiaofeng quickly said, "There... there's a small stream nearby. The scenery there is quite pleasant!"
"Lead the way!"
Zheng Xiaofeng hurriedly took a few steps forward, walking ahead of the two to guide them.
The small stream wasn't far from their current location.
The three Golden Core Masters arrived in no time.
A gently rippling stream, no more than ten feet wide and knee-deep.
The banks were open, with no large trees, just a green meadow dotted with wildflowers of various colors.
Looking into the distance, it was quite beautiful. The stream water was especially clear, and you could see thumb-sized fish playing in it.
Chu Xingchen patted Zheng Xiaofeng's shoulder in satisfaction, then took off his shoes and dipped his feet into the stream.
"Hmm... this counts as a vacation, Senior Sister."
Yaoqin took two steps forward. Unlike Chu Xingchen, she didn't dip her feet in the water but instead sat down beside him.
"Xiao Zheng."
"What can I do for you?"
Chu Xingchen lay down on the grass, his tone lazy, "Go catch two wild rabbits."
Without hesitation, Zheng Xiaofeng turned and left to hunt rabbits for Chu Xingchen.
For a Golden Core Master, catching two rabbits was as easy as pie. In no time, Zheng Xiaofeng returned with two live rabbits—whether you wanted them dead or alive, he could accommodate.
Chu Xingchen glanced at them, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Wild rabbits are quite cute. Let them go."
By now, Zheng Xiaofeng fully understood that this was all about messing with him.
But Zheng Xiaofeng remained unperturbed. Had all these years of playing the lackey been for nothing?
In terms of mindset, who in the Qingfeng Sect could match him? Today, he'd show this Tianyan Sect brat what a strong mindset really was.
Zheng Xiaofeng maintained a good attitude, "Sure, which direction would you like me to release them?"
Chu Xingchen casually said, "Release them to the west. Let them hop in that direction."
With that answer, Zheng Xiaofeng immediately released the two rabbits, using his spiritual power to force them to hop westward.
For the rest of the afternoon, Chu Xingchen lay leisurely on the grass, occasionally saying things like:
"Xiao Zheng, doesn't that tree look a bit annoying?"
"Xiao Zheng, do you see that grass? It seems to be glaring at me."
"Wow! Xiao Zheng, look at that bird. It's so arrogant!"
"Xiao Zheng..."
The entire afternoon, Zheng Xiaofeng's ears were filled with—Xiao Zheng!
Now he truly understood what it meant when your boss gives an order, and you run your legs off!
As the sun began to set.
Chu Xingchen finally spoke with satisfaction, "Xiao Zheng..."
Zheng Xiaofeng instinctively responded, "Yes, what is it..."
"Let's head back. I had a pretty good day today. Does your Qingfeng Sect have rooms for me and my senior sister to sleep in?"
"Of course. Would you like to head back now?"
"Should I lie here a bit longer?"
Please, no more torment! Even a lackey has their limits!
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly said, "No... you can check the rooms first to see if anything's missing. I'll prepare whatever you need."
"Senior Sister, shall we go?" Chu Xingchen looked at Yaoqin, who had been sitting beside him all afternoon.
Yaoqin also nodded lightly in satisfaction, "Let's go."
Chu Xingchen and Yaoqin leisurely made their way back to the Qingfeng Sect.
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly arranged the best guest rooms for the two.
Qingfeng Sect, First-Class Guest Room.
Yaoqin had already settled into one of the rooms.
In the other room, Chu Xingchen looked around at the luxurious decor and said with satisfaction, "Not bad."
"I'm glad you're satisfied." Zheng Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief. Just don't cause any more trouble, please.
Chu Xingchen casually waved his hand to dismiss him, "You may leave. Be at the sect gate early tomorrow to wait for me and my senior sister."
The relief Zheng Xiaofeng had just felt was now replaced with tension. Was he going to have to go through this again tomorrow?
But with the situation being what it was, Zheng Xiaofeng could only nod helplessly in agreement.
Zheng Xiaofeng, filled with an overwhelming sense of humiliation, had just stepped out of the guest room.
He saw the Sect Leader standing in the distance, gazing at him with those familiar eyes...
Zheng Xiaofeng understood the look in the Sect Leader's eyes—"Xiao Zheng! Isn't it time to explain yourself?"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
. 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!"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
