"Little Brother Yong, are you sure this is the right way?"
Wang Defa looked at the densely packed convoy of cars in front of him, falling slightly silent before asking with some uncertainty.
Isn't this a bit much? Such a grand lineup?
Even if his dad were hospitalized, there wouldn't be this many people coming to visit, right?
Li Yong sat in his wheelchair, fiddling with his phone as if checking the room number. He looked up, squinting his eyes to make it out for a moment.
"That's right, it's this way. Let's go, Brother Fa. Once we're done dealing with things here, us two brothers will go eat something good and get a couple cartons of Chunghwa cigarettes to smoke and soothe our lungs. Always smoking these Golden Leaves isn't the way to go, cough, cough..."
Wang Defa was originally running out of energy—after all, hopping around on one leg for most of the day had him running on fumes—but the moment he heard there were cigarettes, and good ones at that, his body was instantly filled with strength!
"Leave it to me, Little Brother Yong. Your Brother Fa's speed will absolutely not disappoint you!"
Arriving at a slope in the hospital with a dedicated wheelchair ramp on the side, Wang Defa hopped on his one good leg and launched a charge, taking a deep breath to muster his strength.
His eyes were resolute. For the Chunghwa!!!
"Ahhh!!!"
A heart-wrenching shriek, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out from the flowerbeds next to the hospital. The two guys, still on the slope, turned their heads simultaneously just in time to see an incredibly fast silhouette flash past them.
It scrambled and tumbled, charging straight into the hospital.
Li Yong: "???"
Wang Defa: "???"
What the heck just went by?
A giant black rat?
The Eldest Miss was holding a knife in her hand, her eyes terrifyingly cold. Her chest heaved up and down, seemingly searching for the traces of some evil old hag. Coincidentally, her gaze landed squarely on the two unlucky brothers on the ramp.
Li Yong's pupils shrank, especially when he clearly saw the knife in the Eldest Miss's hand. His heart rate instantly spiked to a hundred and eighty.
He suddenly recalled the things he had seen on the school forum posts before. Aside from Ye Cheng's ambiguous relationship with Dongfang Zhixia, he was equally entangled with another ruthless figure in the school.
The underworld princess, Shen Qinghan!
Now, seeing the Eldest Miss charging over with a knife, looking like she was about to hack someone to death, Li Yong's face turned deathly pale. He thought she had come to get revenge for Ye Cheng.
He had already taken a beating from Dongfang Zhixia earlier and had learned his lesson, but now here came another one!
As far as Li Yong was concerned, even though Dongfang Zhixia had slapped him around a few times, she was still arguably a civilized person; at the very least, she wouldn't kill him. Shen Qinghan, right in front of him, was a completely different story.
She was the sole heir of the Du family, holding immense weight. Her ruthless methods weren't just rumors—they were the real deal!
"Hurry, hurry, let's go!!!"
Li Yong's face was filled with terror. Completely forgetting their current situation—that they were still on an uphill slope—he desperately clawed at the wheelchair's two tires, fleeing in blind panic.
Wang Defa was also terrified. He recognized this little terror in front of him; she was the one person in school you absolutely could not provoke. His dad had even specifically warned him about her...
He was already crippled as it was, and now, seeing the Eldest Miss charging over, his legs gave out completely. Abandoning his brother, he tried to run away.
The two unlucky brothers were each more "loyal" than the other. The end result was that Li Yong's wheelchair began to slide backward, losing control, and rapidly crashed into Wang Defa below.
"Bang!"
"Ah, my leg!"
"Ahhh..."
The two brothers screamed at the same time. Wang Defa's only good leg was broken, and Li Yong's wheelchair flipped over, slamming him upside down onto the ground. The two wailed in agony at the hospital entrance.
Hearing the screams, Shen Qinghan thought it was a certain old hag. She instinctively looked over, but upon realizing it wasn't, she withdrew her gaze and continued searching for her target inside the hospital!
She headed upstairs, knife in hand.
A short while later.
On the path just slightly ahead of the hospital, the innocent eldest daughter was dragging her mother, who was about to collapse from exhaustion, toward the building.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Mom, at your age, if you don't exercise, you'll have osteoporosis even after you die." Tang Yuyao was practically carrying her mother.
She was too slow.
Tang's Mother: "..."
"Daughter, are you really my biological child?" Tang's Mother shot her a resentful, little-old-lady glare, looking like she was about to squat on the ground and draw circles in depression.
It was too much. She was still so young, yet her daughter was actually saying she was going to kick the bucket. Sigh.
"Fine, fine, biological, you're biological. Alright, let's go. You've already rested for almost ten seconds."
Tang Yuyao checked her watch, continuing to urge Tang's Mother, who had finally seized a rare chance to catch her breath and rest for a moment.
Ten seconds...
Tang's Mother: "..."
Tang's Mother sighed and helplessly let herself be dragged along by her daughter, figuring she could finally rest once they reached the hospital. If they had to walk faster, then so be it.
The two hadn't walked far when they heard screams coming from the hospital entrance. Walking closer to take a look—oh ho, acquaintances!
"Little fatty, what are you guys doing?" Tang Yuyao frowned, looking at the two people in front of her who were contorted into rather "digital" shapes. The scene was really not very pretty.
It was hard not to let her mind wander in some unsavory directions.
Seeing a familiar face, Wang Defa was on the verge of tears: "Sis, save me!!!"
Tang Yuyao: "..."
A few minutes later, after registering the two of them and handling the paperwork, Tang Yuyao and Tang's Mother finally got on the elevator to go upstairs.
"Those two little guys are really unlucky. They don't look like they're in any better shape than Little Cheng," Tang's Mother sighed.
They originally didn't have many good parts left on their bodies, and now look at them, completely totaled...
Tang Yuyao instinctively nodded. The two were indeed unlucky, suffering another disaster right at the hospital entrance, but she quickly realized something was off.
The image of Ye Cheng hopping around lively while clutching his bandages popped into her mind. He had even tricked her into shedding tears... Unbelievable!!!
That damn brat has endless ox-like strength every single day. If he was fine, why didn't he say so earlier? Tricking me out of my tears, hmph!
Tang Yuyao secretly grumbled about Ye Cheng in her heart once again, planning to sneakily pinch him a couple of times for revenge when she got upstairs. Little did she know that the Eldest Miss had been waiting in the room with a knife for a long time...
Going upstairs.
"Wait a minute, daughter. Since we're already here, let's first go see how that child is doing and if her condition has improved."
Seeing her daughter persistently dragging her in the direction of Ye Cheng's ward, Tang's Mother spoke up with some exasperation.
Sigh.
Silly girl, didn't you say we were going to see Mengmeng? Is the direction you're heading really towards her? I'm just too embarrassed to expose you.
Tang Yuyao froze for a moment: "Ah? Oh, okay... No wait, we were supposed to go see Mengmeng in the first place!"
Tang Yuyao's guilty conscience was glaringly obvious as she forcefully "justified" herself. Her whole body was soft except for her stubborn mouth, and just like that, she reluctantly went over to visit the little secretary.
Her heart had already flown over to Ye Cheng's side.
Just as they arrived outside the ward, Li Erhe's ghostly wailing echoed over. Was he crying?
"What's going on?" Tang's Mother blinked. With her vast experience, she instantly distinguished the crying sound—it was tears of joy, not the wailing of excessive sorrow or despair.
Had things taken a turn for the better?
Out in the corridor, Su Su was discussing something with several Daoist priests wearing Longhu Mountain robes. Seeing Tang's Mother and Tang Yuyao approaching, they stopped to greet the two of them.
"Old Madam, you came over so early in the morning?" Su Su asked with a smile.
Tang's Mother nodded, craning her neck to look inside. "Little Su, what's going on in there? Why is the child crying so loudly? Did that girl wake up?"
Su Su was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, Old Madam. You're really sharp."
Tang's Mother nodded and stopped standing on her tiptoes to peek inside. "As long as she's awake, it's fine. Since everything is alright, let's not go over and disturb their family reunion, daughter. Let's go."
Tang's Mother subconsciously spoke up, intending to have her daughter change locations, to save her from getting impatient and sulking with her later tonight.
If it had just been the mother and daughter alone, saying this would have been fine. But the problem was that Su Su was also there. Tang Yuyao couldn't keep her composure; her face stiffened. Noticing Su Su's confused gaze, she hurriedly spoke up.
"Mom, what are you saying? Since we're already here, we should at least go in and see them. You're at this age, how can you still be so rash?"
In an instant, the situation completely reversed, and the previous attitudes of the mother and daughter swapped.
Tang's Mother: "..."
You little...
Silenced, Tang's Mother was thus dragged inside by her pure, backstabbing eldest daughter to join the fun. She took the blame for everything, sigh.
So filial.
After the mother and daughter went inside, Su Su withdrew her gaze and continued talking to the several masters from Longhu Mountain in front of her.
"Masters, I'll have to trouble you later. Please help me see if our daughter has been entangled by something unclean, or if someone has tampered with her in some way."
"Yes, exactly. My daughter wasn't like this before. She's acting like she's possessed now, sigh..."
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you masters later. Please make sure to..."
...
Meanwhile.
At the hospital, on the other side at the end of the corridor.
The sneaky duo consisting of the head maid and Xia Tongxin had successfully sneaked up. They still took the back door. Right now, Xia Tongxin's face was slightly flushed, and she was walking with a bit of urgency.
"Xiaxia, wait for me a moment, I need to go to the restroom."
"Alright, Miss, I'll wait for you outside." The head maid nodded and let go of her young lady's hand.
The pink-haired Xia Tongxin rushed into the women's restroom. Gotta pee, gotta pee...
As soon as she entered the restroom, three of the ten stalls were already occupied. With Xia Tongxin, that made four.
"Bang!"
From left to right, these four were Xia Tongxin, Dongfang Zhixia, Ye Cheng, and Du Wanyi... like immortals lining up in a row!
Ye Cheng: "..."
F*ck!!!
Who the hell set me up? This is the women's restroom!!!
Bro!!!
Three people came in within five minutes!!!
Silently, Ye Cheng wore a mask of pain on his face, an agonizing smile reminiscent of Fire Punch appearing... Motherf*cker!!!

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.”

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."

. 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!"
