"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Congratulations, Brother Chen, congratulations!"
"I heard about your heroic deeds as soon as I arrived in Skypride City."
"Right now, those people are still shouting about it all over the streets."
"Luckily, I warned the Qi family in advance. Otherwise, if some dimwit from our family had joined in, we’d be humiliated too."
Early the next morning, Qi Shiyuan, the patriarch of the Qi family, came to the place where Chen Chang'an was staying.
Seeing Qi Shiyuan, Chen Chang'an raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn’t you anticipate this situation?"
"Wasn’t it you who leaked my affairs to those people?"
Qi Shiyuan never thought he could hide this from Chen Chang'an, so he simply admitted it outright.
"That’s right, it was me."
"But I couldn’t be the only one suffering losses, could I?" Qi Shiyuan said with a laugh.
"You’ve got quite the scheme, but… I like it."
"You arrived pretty quickly. Did you set off right after I left?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"No."
"I only started my journey yesterday."
Only yesterday? And he’s already here?
"How did you get here so fast?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Teleportation array. Our Qi family has one that leads directly to Skypride City."
"Most major factions have them to make it easier for their disciples to come here."
"You didn’t know about this?" Qi Shiyuan asked, surprised.
"So… the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect has one too?"
"Of course."
"Then why the hell didn’t you tell me you had a teleportation array when I was heading to Skypride City?" Chen Chang'an asked helplessly.
"You never asked."
"I thought… you had other matters and weren’t in a hurry."
From the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect, Chen Chang'an indeed wasn’t in a rush. He also wanted to see if he could stumble upon any fragments of the Laws of Heaven.
Luckily, he hadn’t hurried—otherwise, he might have missed Qifeng Valley entirely.
"What brings you here so early in the morning?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Nothing much, just came to see you."
"When are you planning to challenge the Skypride Rankings?"
"I’m really curious—once you appear on that list, how will those so-called peerless prodigies feel?" Qi Shiyuan wore an expression of eager anticipation.
"What else could they feel? Pissed off, of course."
As Chen Chang'an and Qi Shiyuan were chatting, Da Huang suddenly trotted over with a cheeky grin, looking at Qi Shiyuan with an unsettlingly friendly expression.
"Could you stop smiling at me like that?"
"It’s creeping me out," Qi Shiyuan said helplessly.
"Old Qi, are we brothers or not?" Da Huang asked with a grin.
"What the hell do you want? Just say it," Qi Shiyuan retorted, sensing this bastard was up to no good.
"Lend me some spirit stones. My big brother will pay you back."
Damn it!
Not this again!
Is this never going to end?
Do I look like a sucker? Do I really look that much like a sucker?
No way! I’m not lending a single coin this time!
Qi Shiyuan glared at Da Huang, the words of refusal already on the tip of his tongue. But in the end, he could only sigh in resignation.
"How much?" he asked gloomily.
"Not much, just enough for a trip to the brothel."
"Again?"
"You’re a damn dog! What’s with your obsession with brothels?"
Qi Shiyuan couldn’t wrap his head around it. What could a dog even do there? Absolutely nothing! Wasn’t this just a waste of spirit stones?
"Hold on!"
"This is Skypride City!"
"Since when does this place have brothels?" Chen Chang'an interjected.
"It does!"
"It does!"
Qi Shiyuan and Da Huang spoke in unison, leaving Chen Chang'an momentarily stunned. The Skypride City in the Profound Heaven Domain didn’t have such establishments—yet this one did?
"Why would Skypride City have brothels?"
"Are there even customers?"
"Won’t people laugh at them?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"It’s human nature. Who’s laughing at whom?"
"Skypride City is huge, with tons of people. Not everyone cares about others’ opinions."
"Besides, the brothels here are probably the highest quality in the entire Flowing Cloud Domain."
"After all, the people who come here aren’t ordinary. A run-of-the-mill brothel wouldn’t attract many customers."
Huh?
At these words, Da Huang’s eyes lit up!
Highest quality?
They’re actually the highest quality?
If someone like Qi Shiyuan called them high-quality, they must be exceptional.
However, Chen Chang'an and Da Huang were focusing on different things. Da Huang cared about the quality, while Chen Chang'an was more interested in how Qi Shiyuan knew so much about them.
Had he… been there before?
Seeing Chen Chang'an’s scrutinizing gaze, Qi Shiyuan coughed awkwardly.
"I was curious, so I went once."
"Just once! I just wanted to see what it was like. I didn’t do anything!" Qi Shiyuan quickly explained.
"Old Qi!"
"Are we brothers or not?"
"Today, I won’t borrow any spirit stones."
Huh?
Not borrowing anymore?
Da Huang’s words left Qi Shiyuan confused. Why the sudden change of heart?
"Good brother, today I’ll take you to the brothel."
"I’ll go with you."
"I’ll arrange everything—you just foot the bill."
"How about it?"
This… was even worse than borrowing!
At least if he lent the money, there was a chance of getting it back. But now? He was being asked to pay outright?
Qi Shiyuan stared at Da Huang for a moment before deciding that treating him might actually be the better option. Lending was like throwing meat buns at a dog—no return. But if he treated them, it’d count as a favor.
Da Huang would owe him, wouldn’t he?
"Fine, my treat."
"Brother Chen, are you coming?"
Chen Chang'an gave him a disdainful look. "What kind of man do you take me for?"
"Do you know the phrase ‘a man of integrity’?"
"You’ve said that before."
"Oh? Then let me rephrase."
"Don’t bother. Just say if you’re going or not."
"I’m not going. I value my purity."
"Suit yourself. We’ll go without you."
Qi Shiyuan couldn’t be bothered to argue. If Chen Chang'an came, fine. If not, he’d save money.
"I’m going! I’m going too!"
"Me too!"
Yi Tuo and Xiao Qiu (Little Earthworm) rushed over excitedly.
For Qi Shiyuan, one more or two more didn’t matter. In fact, he was quite curious—what exactly could these three even do in a brothel?
Watching the group leave, Chen Chang'an sighed helplessly.
"Ah!"
"Filthy. It’s hard being the only pure soul among them."
"They should be grateful to have such an upright friend like me."
Just as Chen Chang'an was lamenting, disciples from the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect approached.
"Elder Chen, what should we do?"
Huh?
What should they do? The abrupt question left Chen Chang'an puzzled.
"What’s wrong?"
"Did something happen?"
"It’s a disaster!"
"Right now… half of Skypride City wants to marry you."
"Some have even prepared dowries. There’s a line outside… stretching as far as the eye can see!"
"And the number… it’s still growing. More and more are coming!"
] 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.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
