In the corridor.
"Alright Wanyi, let's go quickly!" Su Su was practically hanging onto Du Wanyi, one hand gripping the wall beside them, using every ounce of strength she had.
This was the real reason why Du Wanyi couldn't successfully run away. If she forced her way out, Su Su's arm would probably be ruined.
Dislocation would be the most conservative estimate.
Damn it, what a despicable trick!
"I didn't say I wasn't going. I'm just going slowly, at a steady pace, going with a rhythm, with a plan..."
"Ahhhh!!!"
Before Du Wanyi could finish her veteran-style speech, Lin Baizhi's sharp shrieks echoed through the corridor. Those who didn't know better would have thought an air raid siren had gone off. The noise made both of their ears ache.
Lin Baizhi dashed past the two of them in a flash. She didn't even take the elevator, heading straight for the stairs. She had never run so desperately in her entire life.
Su Su: "..."
Du Wanyi: "..."
What was Little Green Tea up to?
A question mark popped up in Du Wanyi's head. Wasn't this Little Green Tea quite fierce? How did she suddenly turn into Lord Guan? Why was her face so red?
Su Su didn't get a clear look at what was going on with the running Lin Baizhi, but Du Wanyi saw it plain as day. Her eyes were like ultra-high-speed tracking cameras, accurately capturing the flushed face of Lin Baizhi as she flashed by.
Something was up!
Suddenly, Du Wanyi's waist didn't ache, her legs didn't hurt, her shoelaces were tied, and her stomach stopped acting up... Carrying Su Su on her back, she sprinted into the hospital room, wanting to see exactly what had happened!
Su Su: "???"
Just like that, the two madams who had been elbowing each other in the corridor for ages returned to the ward together, only to find that the President was nowhere to be seen.
Inside the room, they could only see a silent Tang Shouye, Ye Cheng who had gotten out of bed and looked completely fine, and the Eldest Miss who was being dangled in the air by Ye Cheng like a little chick.
Du Wanyi: "???"
Su Su: "???"
What in the world was going on!
"Let go of me." Seeing the enemy flee, the Eldest Miss's anger dissipated significantly. She looked at Ye Cheng and spoke calmly.
Now he wasn't even pretending anymore. Tang Shouye was dumbfounded watching from the side. If he remembered correctly, didn't this kid just get out of surgery?
Even if the two young girls maintained their figures well and weighed less than a hundred pounds, he shouldn't be able to lift one in each hand like little chicks, right?
Was this normal?
This!
"Ah? Oh, okay." Ye Cheng paused for a moment, then silently placed the Eldest Miss he was holding onto the ground. The moment the Eldest Miss landed, she stomped hard on Ye Cheng's foot.
Ye Cheng: "..."
As expected of the Eldest Miss, still so clear about gratitude and grudges.
Ye Cheng glanced at the door, where the two madams were staring at each other in shock. After a moment of silence, he lay back down on the hospital bed, reattached his heart rate monitor, put on the oxygen mask, closed his eyes, and resumed his half-dead appearance.
Cough, cough...
Su Su: "..."
Tang Shouye: "..."
Du Wanyi: "..."
You are still acting after all this?
"Where is our Zhixia?" Su Su was the first to break the silence, starting to search around the room, ruling out Lin Baizhi, whom they had just seen screaming and running away in the corridor.
There should be four people in the room. Where was their Zhixia?
Where was she!
Tang Shouye spoke up tentatively, "Uh, sister-in-law, niece Zhixia already left just now. Didn't you see her?"
Dongfang Zhan was of the same generation as the eldest brother of the Tang family. Naturally, Tang Shouye also called Su Su sister-in-law. After all, the relationship between the two families was quite good, especially the personal friendship between Dongfang Zhan and Tang Jianguo, the eldest of the Tang family.
"Left? I didn't see her!" Su Su looked bewildered.
She turned her head to look at Du Wanyi.
Du Wanyi also shook her head. "No idea."
As for how much truth there was to Du Wanyi's didn't see her, only Du Wanyi herself knew.
While the two madams were elbowing each other on the left side of the corridor, Dongfang Zhixia had left via the right side. Her movements were fast and her footsteps light as she headed towards the ward where the little secretary was.
Su Su had been too engrossed in the struggle, so naturally, she didn't see her.
"Ah? You didn't see her? Uh, you probably just didn't notice, sister-in-law. Zhixia really did leave, just a few minutes ago..."
Tang Shouye briefly explained the specific situation that had just occurred, though of course, he didn't go into detail about exactly why the President had left.
However, in Su Su's mind, she had already automatically pictured her daughter being misunderstood, frustrated, and leaving the scene in sorrow. She felt terrible. When had their daughter ever suffered such a grievance?
Su Su glanced at Shen Qinghan, who had just been put down, and then at Ye Cheng. Not knowing what she was thinking, she sighed softly, picked up her bag, and left.
After Su Su left, Tang Shouye finally spoke up slyly, "Boss Du, about my phone..."
Du Wanyi blinked, then finally took Tang Shouye's phone out of her pocket and returned it to him. After getting his phone, Tang Shouye said a quick goodbye, greased his soles, and bolted.
He headed in the same direction Su Su had just left.
In the ward, three people remained: the Eldest Miss, Madam Du... and Ye Cheng, who was playing dead.
Du Wanyi craned her neck to look out into the corridor. After confirming there was no one around, she picked up the door that had been set aside earlier and propped it up against the wide-open doorway.
"Mhm, not bad." Du Wanyi clapped her hands in satisfaction. After installing the makeshift door, she was in a great mood. It was only right to talk behind closed doors.
When doing bad things, you must... cough, cough, when discussing important matters, you must close the door to talk, otherwise, there is just no sense of security.
Turning her head, she saw her Little Hanhan still adjusting her clothes...
Du Wanyi gasped and covered her mouth. Was the progress really this fast!
She had only been gone for a few minutes, and they had already reached this stage? Damn it, she actually missed the most crucial part, damn it all!!!
Seeming to notice something, the Eldest Miss, who was still fixing her clothes, looked up. Seeing a certain inherently wicked old lady standing before her with a face full of remorse, she frowned.
What was this woman... doing?
"Little Hanhan, what were you guys... doing just now?" The expression on Du Wanyi's face turned comical. She raised her eyebrows, and her tone was slippery, with a sleazy look practically written all over her face.
Shen Qinghan: "..."
She seemed to know why a certain old lady had been looking at her with that kind of gaze just now.
Thump thump thump...
"Ah, why are you hitting me? Boohoo... This is too much, I was just asking, I didn't even say anything, I protest!" Du Wanyi had a stubborn look on her face.
Thump thump thump... The Eldest Miss said nothing and simply kept throwing punches!
Du Wanyi was OUT!!!
The Eldest Miss had just finished one cage match, and now she immediately started a second one. Hearing the madam's tragic screams coming from inside the room, Ye Cheng broke into a sweat. Using echolocation to confirm that the Eldest Miss wasn't staring at him, he finally dared to open his eyes and take a peek.
Hiss...
With just one glance, Ye Cheng closed his eyes again. His little heart was pounding wildly. It was too brutal. Madam had been beaten into a living meme, yet the Eldest Miss was still over there whipping the corpse.
He definitely still needed to play dead. As expected, the status of a patient was incredibly useful. He had lost count of how many elbow strikes he had managed to avoid.
Sure enough, trusting the wisdom of the ancients was the right move. The Art of War did not deceive him; he had completely evolved into a total coward!
Good opportunity!
Taking advantage of the time a certain Madam was being punished, Ye Cheng used up his last opportunity to check her status profile!
[Do you want to check the current status?]
He clicked confirm, and Du Wanyi's profile popped up!
[Name: Du Wanyi]
[Gender: Female]
[IQ: 4~8 (Good mental state, IQ fluctuates greatly)]
[Charm: 1~9 (Unconventional, rare in this world)]
[Physique: 15~18 (Beyond the range of a normal human)]
[Physical Condition: Healthy]
[Profile Prompt Comment: The only heir of the main branch of the Du family. Possesses terrifying rallying power. Personality is different from ordinary people. Hides great wisdom under the guise of foolishness. A natural-born demon child. Likes brain-dead short dramas. Special fate, which the Du family later spent a lot of effort to alter. Became a disciple under ??? to cultivate her mind and temper her character...]
[Current Status Prompt: Wants to know exactly what happened in the room after leaving the ward earlier. Currently feeling excited because she is being frantically beaten up by her own daughter-chan. Perhaps doing nothing and just standing aside to watch is the best choice?]
Ye Cheng: "???"
How much!!!
15~18!!!
Ye Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, looking as if he had seen a ghost. He knew Madam was fierce and had prepared himself mentally, but he never expected her to be this incredibly fierce.
His human limit was only half of Madam's stats, and it would only get harder to progress further. In other words, Madam was straying further and further down the path of being inhuman?
Also, what the hell was with that excited part?
I didn't expect it, Madam, you are actually a fellow... ahem, ahem.
Ye Cheng had thought everyone's panel stats were fixed until he saw Madam's. Even the system's evaluation of her as a demon child showed just how much weight she carried.
The most outrageous part was that this was the first time Ye Cheng had seen question marks in the system's prompts.
Isn't this a joke?!
Combining this with the boasts Du Wanyi had made before, it wasn't hard to guess that this so-called sect had actually withered into practically nothing. When Madam previously said the old geezer can't beat me anymore, it probably meant she had surpassed her master?
Madam's limit should be the limit of humanity, right?
At least in terms of physique, it seemed that way.
No wonder Madam was a gang boss. She was way too good at fighting. One Madam was equal to two of him?
Hiss...
Utterly terrifying!
Yet, such a terrifying Madam was currently being beaten up by the Eldest Miss, whose physique couldn't even compare to a normal person's. She had already been beaten into a meme, lying on the ground looking half-dead.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Madam, your brain is exceptionally smooth too!
When the Eldest Miss threw a tantrum, neither Du Wanyi nor Ye Cheng dared to make a peep. The two of them tacitly played dead, waiting to resurrect and speak only when the Eldest Miss was in a better mood—unless they wanted to be beaten into a meme too...
An unknown amount of time passed. The Eldest Miss seemed to have grown tired. She gave the middle-aged woman, who was lying on the ground looking completely defeated, two final kicks before sitting back down on her small stool, staring motionlessly at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Get up, Madam! Get up, Madam, I'll lend you my light!!!
And then... Du Wanyi really did stand up. Acting as if nothing had happened, she patted the dust off her clothes and cheerfully trotted over to the Eldest Miss's side.
She muttered something, but even with his enhanced hearing and vision, Ye Cheng couldn't make out what Du Wanyi was whispering about.
Encrypted?
Hiss...
Ye Cheng gasped, sighing in his heart that Madam really had too many tricks up her sleeve.
"Can't we just do it here?" Shen Qinghan furrowed her brows, looking somewhat reluctant. Du Wanyi didn't speak, just glancing at Ye Cheng.
The meaning was obvious... Little Hanhan, if you want Little Chengcheng to hear our evil plan too, then whatever, Mama-chan doesn't mind anyway.
Du Wanyi leisurely inspected her fingernails. Ah, such white crescents. As expected of her, so pretty!
Shen Qinghan looked at Ye Cheng, seemingly conflicted about something. Her hands clenched tightly and then quickly relaxed. "Just this once."
In the end, the Eldest Miss compromised. She took one last look at Ye Cheng. "Don't run around, or else..."
For the first time ever, the Eldest Miss displayed food-guarding behavior, and it was so obvious that it made Du Wanyi, who was watching from the side, incredibly excited, her nostrils flaring quite a bit.
Right, exactly right, Little Hanhan, just like that! Drive away all the bad women and Little Green Tea!
Little Chengcheng belongs to our family, wooohoo, wooohoo, wooohoo...
"Bang!"
The Eldest Miss followed a certain unreliable Madam out of the ward. Unusually, Ye Cheng was left all alone in the normally bustling hospital room.
"Phew..."
"Thank goodness, I survived!" Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled over, pulled out his heavily modified luxury phone hidden under his pillow, and started scrolling through brain-dead short videos.
Ah~~~
So comfortable. Yes, this was the familiar feeling. His brain was getting smoother!
Meanwhile.
Outside the school, a private car came to a stop.
"Oh my, daughter, your school is so grand. There are even two snack shops at the entrance!" Mother Tang sounded excited, as if she had rediscovered the feeling of her own school days.
Tang Yuyao: "..."
"Mom, those are security booths," Tang Yuyao said after a silence.
"Ah? Oh, alright... They might as well turn them into snack shops and make a killing..." The little old lady muttered to herself, somewhat disappointed that the security booths weren't snack shops.
Back in her day, having snack shops set up at the school gates was the most popular thing!
"Daughter, wait a moment. Mom is going to go weigh a couple pounds of mandarin oranges! Since we're already here, it would be embarrassing to show up empty-handed..." The old lady stood at the school gate, looking around as if searching for a place to buy oranges.
"Mom... they have them inside the school. We can just buy them inside," Tang Yuyao said helplessly.
"That won't do, the ones in the school are expensive." Mother Tang blinked.
Tang Yuyao: "..."

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. ...

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.”

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

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."
