Da Huang stared at Chen Chang'an, utterly dumbfounded!
Freak!
He's getting freakier by the day!
Creating one's own cultivation technique isn't unusual, but doing so while still being able to focus on cultivation itself? That's just too ruthless!
"Big bro, are you sure the technique you created is really suitable for her?" Da Huang asked curiously.
"It was inspired by suppressing the cold energy in her body before."
"My current comprehension ability... even I find it terrifying."
"I think this technique might reach the pinnacle tier."
Pinnacle immortal technique?
Creating a pinnacle immortal technique?
Is this the terrifying power of the Wisdom Law?
"Horrifying!"
"Big bro, you're becoming more and more horrifying."
"By the way, has your cultivation been delayed? Why are you only at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Realm's ninth level?" Da Huang asked in confusion.
"It's not delayed. This top-grade immortal spirit vein isn't enough to support my breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm," Chen Chang'an said helplessly.
Ahem!
"Um... have you guys forgotten about them?" Xiao Yao reminded from the side.
Them?
"No worries. Dealing with them is easy."
Chen Chang'an casually waved his hand, and a force of destruction enveloped Madam Meng and her group.
"Holy shit!"
"What... what kind of move is this?"
"Big bro, have you gone even more freakish?"
Seeing this, Da Huang was completely stunned. Under the annihilating power of the Law of Destruction, Madam Meng and the others were torn to pieces alive.
"This is my first time using this power. Hmm... didn't expect the scene to be like this."
"Never mind, I'll try to use it less in the future."
Chen Chang'an had only wanted to test the power of the Law of Destruction, but he hadn't anticipated such a shocking outcome.
"There's nothing left for us here. Let's go."
"Alright."
Chen Chang'an had originally planned to leave after his cultivation session, but he hadn't expected the Meng Family to show up.
Meanwhile, after Madam Meng and the others were killed, the Meng Family naturally received the news.
The death of their matriarch—how could this not enrage the Meng Family?
In the Profound Heaven Domain, who would dare provoke them like this?
"Even their souls were obliterated."
"Good, very good. It seems our Meng Family has been too low-key these years."
"Investigate. Find out who did this."
"I want the entire Profound Heaven Domain to know the consequences of targeting our Meng Family."
"Yes, Family Head!"
Elsewhere, after Chen Chang'an brought Qingluan home, the City Lord and his wife expressed endless gratitude.
Learning that Chen Chang'an had even used the Dragon Origin to save Qingluan elevated their gratitude to its peak.
"Benefactor, the great kindness you've shown our family... I truly have no way to repay you," the City Lord said remorsefully.
"You can repay, you can repay."
"Just give your daughter to my big bro," Da Huang teased with a mischievous grin.
"Da Huang!" Chen Chang'an glared at him helplessly.
"This..."
Da Huang's words left the City Lord somewhat awkward. Who gives their daughter as a gift?
But...
Chen Chang'an was indeed an outstanding man. If he were to become a son-in-law, he'd be the best choice.
Thud!
Suddenly, Qingluan knelt before Chen Chang'an again, her expression solemn.
"Benefactor, you saved my life, bestowed upon me a cultivation technique, and gave me a chance at rebirth."
"I wish to take you as my master. I hope you won't find me unworthy."
Become his disciple?
"Get up first," Chen Chang'an said calmly.
Hearing this, Qingluan remained kneeling. This was a decision she had carefully considered during the journey.
Chen Chang'an was a powerhouse, and Qingluan understood clearly—to control her own destiny, she had to grow stronger.
Before, her condition had prevented her from cultivating, but now things were different. She wanted strength—to never let something like the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect happen again, to never let anyone use her life to threaten her parents.
"I only brought you home. I'll be leaving soon."
"No problem, no problem! This girl can follow you. She's grown up—it's time for her to venture out into the world," the City Lord said with a smile.
"Yes, yes! With Qingluan by your side, we’d feel at ease," the City Lord's Wife chimed in.
"Big bro, just accept her."
"Look how sincere they are. Hard to refuse," Da Huang said with a laugh.
"Fine, get up then."
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Seeing Chen Chang'an agree, Qingluan was overjoyed.
"Big bro, you're the real genius here."
"Sure, you lost a Dragon Origin, but you gained a stunning beauty."
"And one with limitless potential at that. You hit the jackpot."
"Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?"
"The Dragon Origin was used on 'one of your own' after all."
"Ah, what a profitable deal."
Da Huang didn’t dare say this aloud—he could only transmit it to Chen Chang'an.
Chen Chang'an shot him an exasperated look. This bastard always assumed the worst of others.
"I am a gentleman."
"Huh? We know that."
The City Lord and the others stared at Chen Chang'an in confusion, completely baffled by his sudden declaration.
They hadn’t questioned his character at all!
Snort!
Chen Chang'an had forgotten to transmit his words, making Da Huang burst into laughter.
"Get lost!"
Thud!
Chen Chang'an kicked Da Huang flying.
Ahem!
"What I meant was, as a gentleman, I don’t like taking advantage of others."
"Since your daughter is now my disciple, I shouldn’t be too stingy."
"Well, I—"
"No need, really no need!"
"Benefactor, the fact that you’ve accepted our daughter as your disciple is already an immense fortune for her and our Yun Family. How could we let you spend more?"
"Exactly! This would truly make us ashamed."
"Good, you’re reasonable people. Then let’s leave it at that."
"Huh? Oh, oh! Yes, yes!"
Chen Chang'an hadn’t known what to offer anyway, so he took the opportunity to drop the subject.
Because of Qingluan, Chen Chang'an stayed at the City Lord’s residence for three more days before departing.
This was Qingluan’s second separation from her parents, but compared to the first, she was much happier this time.
Half a month later...
Chen Chang'an and Da Huang were squatting on the ground, staring intently at something in the distance.
"What... what are Master and the others doing?" Qingluan asked, puzzled.
"Honestly, I don’t know either. They just suddenly squatted down. No idea what they’re looking at," Xiao Yao replied, equally confused.
At that moment, Da Huang and Chen Chang'an exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
"That bastard... does it look familiar?"
"Familiar. Feels like I’ve seen it before."
"Could it be... a piece of shit?"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. 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... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
