"If you didn't see him, I'll go out and look for him..."
"Bang!"
Looking at the door in front of him that had been shut at some unknown point, Dongfang Zhan started breaking out in a cold sweat. The fear of being dominated by this demon child, which he had endured for so many years since childhood, surfaced once again.
Why? Why was this crazy woman so strong?!
It hurts! It hurts too much!
Dongfang Zhan's wonderful life had come to an end the moment he met Du Wanyi; it was destined to be a life of being "elbowed".
"You old geezer, you think you can just leave after cursing at someone?!" Du Wanyi looked fierce. She kicked the twisted metal stool on the floor aside and grabbed Dongfang Zhan by the collar with one hand, looking as if she was going to beat him into a pulp.
It was just... the scene was a bit comical. Dongfang Zhan was over 1.8 meters tall, while Du Wanyi was only about 1.65 meters, the same height as the little secretary.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Holy crap, Ma'am, are you really that fierce?
Ye Cheng gasped. Looking at the two of them, it seemed they knew each other well?
Dongfang Zhan's face darkened. If there were no outsiders around like usual, he would have just swallowed his pride, but now there was a Teletubby standing not far away, staring with wide, round eyes.
He couldn't lose face no matter what!
He had to stand his ground!
Dongfang Zhan clamped his hand over the one Du Wanyi used to grab his collar and pushed hard, the veins on his neck bulging, and then... she didn't budge an inch.
Dongfang Zhan: "..."
Even giving it his all, he couldn't beat this damn crazy woman!
Facing Ye Cheng's "burning" gaze from the side, Dongfang Zhan braced himself and said, "I won't stoop to the level of a woman like you!"
These words sounded quite tough, and at first glance, there seemed to be no problem with them, but... they only held up for a split second. Was he not stooping to her level because he didn't want to?
It was because he couldn't beat her!
Du Wanyi raised an eyebrow. "A woman? I hate it the most when people call me a woman. Fine, you've got guts. And don't say I'm bullying you. One hit each. I'll go first. If you can withstand it, we'll let today's matter slide. If you can't... Heh."
Ye Cheng: "???"
Ma'am, if you're not a woman, what are you?
Why did those words sound a bit off?
While Ye Cheng was still confused and enjoying the show, Dongfang Zhan was already under immense pressure, sweat starting to form on his back.
Du Wanyi found a pillow in the room and threw it to Dongfang Zhan. "Hold it tight."
Nonsense!
Did she even need to say that?!
The moment the pillow was thrown over, Dongfang Zhan was already hugging it tightly. This was his lifesaver; without it, he might end up lying flat on a hospital bed just like Ye Cheng.
If he wasn't afraid of being looked down upon by Ye Cheng, Dongfang Zhan would have grabbed two more pillows to use as a buffer right now. Others might not know, but he knew all too well how hard this crazy woman in front of him hit!
At this point, there was no turning back for Dongfang Zhan. If he chickened out now, he would definitely be despised by that scheming gold-digger Ye Cheng. The Dongfang family had no cowards!
Crack, crack, crack. Dongfang Zhan cracked his knuckles and stretched his muscles, his physique bulging... He was no pushover either!
Dongfang Zhan was also a trained fighter. He had served in the military, and even after retiring, he never neglected his training. An average person standing in front of him would look like a helpless little chick. Even Ye Cheng was slightly inferior to Dongfang Zhan in terms of sheer size.
He had the will of a fierce tiger!
"Bring it on!" Dongfang Zhan's eyes were resolute!
...
Downstairs.
Dongfang Zhixia and Lin Baizhi each brought a group of doctors upstairs. Almost all the doctors from every department were called over. Whether they were from internal medicine or surgery, they all came!
Among them, the most speechless were the gynecologists. They were doctors, sure, but... their specialty didn't seem quite relevant here, did it?
However, seeing the two of them looking so anxious and panicked, the gynecologists braced themselves and followed along without daring to speak. Hey, how did the saying go again?
Since we're already here...
The hospital's salary and benefits blew all the surrounding top-tier hospitals out of the water. Even the hospitals under Lin Baizhi's control were the same; they couldn't offer better compensation than what the doctors at the hospital inside Dahai City's noble academy received.
It was purely throwing money at them. Good pay, little work, and close to home... So, gynecology it was.
The large crowd was too much for the elevator, so they just took the stairs. Lin Baizhi's health was relatively poor, and with all this rushing back and forth, she was starting to struggle, but she kept gritting her teeth.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zhixia was completely blunt: "You guys check on her first. The rest of you, follow me."
Lin Baizhi gritted her teeth... Stop looking down on people!
"No need, I can hold on," Lin Baizhi softly declined the kind offers of the surrounding doctors. Indeed, her physical constitution was far too weak...
Poor Sister Lin's physical fitness was on par with the eldest miss. In front of the physically robust President, the two of them were practically like little girls!
In the time delayed, Dongfang Zhixia had already led the people far away. Lin Baizhi gritted her teeth and chased after them again. Was she tired? Being tired was right. Her brother used to be like this too, so why couldn't she do it?
Lin Baizhi mentally injected herself with a shot of "adrenaline."
It was no less dramatic than when a villain was about to win, and the protagonist shouted something about "bonds and friendship," charging over with invincibility frames and one-shotting the villain.
Completely ridiculous.
It felt like Lin Baizhi's head was getting pointy now...
But you have to admit, you really have to admit, the effect was quite good. Lin Baizhi's speed picked up again!
It felt like she could leave the eldest miss in the dust...
"Hmm?" Hearing the noise, Dongfang Zhixia glanced behind her. Lin Baizhi was haunting her like a ghost and had caught up again!
Dongfang Zhixia frowned. The current Lin Baizhi felt a bit like a lunatic to her, completely ignoring her own body...
If that guy knew, would he be very moved?
Subconsciously, this question popped into Dongfang Zhixia's mind. From a normal person's perspective, they would definitely be moved, but if it was a certain bastard... it was really hard to say.
Lin Baizhi caught up, and the two of them looked like they were racing. One after the other, they left the stairwell, stood back in the corridor, and headed toward the ward where Ye Cheng was.
In the corridor, the only thing that could be heard was the dense sound of footsteps.
Tap, tap, tap...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, without any warning, a loud noise rang out. A "cannonball" flew out from not far away, crashing onto the ground along with the ward door.
"Cough, cough..." Dongfang Zhan clutched his chest, coughing twice in pain. Was it his imagination, or did it feel like this crazy woman's strength was growing? Or perhaps she just hadn't used her full strength when hitting him before?
Every time Dongfang Zhan felt like he had what it takes, he would be slapped awake by Du Wanyi. Over the years, it had become his inner demon.
Dongfang Zhan cursed under his breath. Just as he was about to writhe a couple of times, he suddenly turned his head and realized that the corridor was packed with people at some unknown point. A dense crowd, and his own daughter was among them.
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
Silently, Dongfang Zhan climbed up from the ground, picked up the door that had flown out with him, set it aside, and dusted himself off.
"Daughter, you are here. I was just sparring with your Auntie Du... The quality of this door is not very good. We should have them all replaced next time."
Dongfang Zhan kept talking to himself. His entire body was beaten to a pulp, leaving only his mouth stubborn enough to keep up appearances. It hurt too much...
Dongfang Zhixia looked slightly speechless. Lin Baizhi, however, did not care about all that and led her people straight inside, followed by a dense swarm of doctors pouring in like dumplings being dropped into a boiling pot.
Finally, Dongfang Zhixia, who had been standing rooted to the spot, moved. She walked over, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Dad, if you cannot beat her, just let it go." That single sentence fully expressed the sheer exhaustion of a daughter.
Ever since she was a child, she had watched her dad act as a human cannonball flying through the air. So many years had passed, and he was still doing it... Sigh.
After saying that, Dongfang Zhixia also entered the hospital room without showing any intention of comforting her elderly father. Of course, it was also possible she knew her father had a strong constitution and thick skin, so there was no need to worry too much.
With everyone gone, only a rather disheveled Dongfang Zhan was left standing in the hallway.
If he could not beat her, just let it go?
Who said he could not beat her!
What did she mean, let it go!
He did not lose, he...
"Hubby, why are you out here? And what happened to this door?"
Su Su had just finished her phone call. She had successfully hired a master from Mount Longhu, who was expected to visit their home tomorrow to check if their daughter had been cursed by something unclean or if she had provoked something she should not have...
But when she turned around, she saw her husband standing in the hallway as if he were being punished.
"It is nothing. You go on inside, I am going out to get some fresh air." Dongfang Zhan's tone was calm as he waved his hand and headed downstairs.
Su Su was full of question marks. What was going on here?
When Dongfang Zhan got downstairs, he realized the sky had fallen—all the doctors from every department were gone!
"Hiss, it hurts so much..." Hiding in a deserted stairwell, Dongfang Zhan grimaced in pain, tears nearly welling up in his eyes. There had been too many people around earlier, so he had been too embarrassed to show it.
He swore that if he ever fought that crazy woman again, he would be a dog!
...
The sky gradually darkened.
At the Tang residence.
Tang's Mother was entering the final stages of her work. She was still wrestling with the two ducks in her hands, a satisfied smile gradually appearing on her face.
Great, her mandarin ducks were almost fixed!
Click, clack, click. The crisp sound of high heels echoed from outside as Tang Yuyao rushed in like a whirlwind. Tang's Mother put down her needle and thread.
"Daughter, why are you back so early?" Tang's Mother asked in confusion. She had thought her daughter would not be coming home for dinner today.
Click, clack, click...
"Daughter?"
Click, clack, click...
Bang! The bedroom door slammed shut.
Tang's Mother was speechless.
Tang Yuyao acted as if she had not heard a thing. She just kept walking, went back to her room, shut the door, and hid under her covers...
"I really kissed him..." Tang Yuyao's voice drifted from the room, sounding as if she were both confirming the fact and questioning herself.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

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."
