Brother-in-law?
Little brother-in-law?
Mu Yunhai’s words nearly sent Chen Chang'an into a daze!
Since when?
How come he didn’t know about this?
Out of nowhere, he suddenly has a little brother-in-law?
This… was it arranged by his master?
Wait… no betrothal gifts were given—no, more importantly, why wasn’t he even informed?
"What’s wrong, brother-in-law?"
"Too happy to speak?"
"Brother-in-law, I finally get to meet you."
"I admire you so much."
"I—"
"Hold it!"
Mu Yunhai’s over-the-top excitement made Chen Chang'an wonder if he wasn’t just a brother-in-law but Mu Yunhai’s long-lost father.
Seriously?
Even if he really were your brother-in-law, is this level of enthusiasm necessary?
Aren’t you supposed to be the young master of the Mu family, a peerless genius on the Heavenly Proud Rankings? Why do you act like you’ve never seen the world?
"About this… does your sister know?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
Given what he knew of Mu Yunyao, she wasn’t the type to make such a rash decision.
Even if she really did have designs on him, she wouldn’t go around announcing it.
"What do you mean?"
"You calling me brother-in-law—did your sister agree to it?"
"Though I suspected she had ulterior motives toward me, why would she tell you about it?"
"Are the two of you that close?"
Hearing this, Mu Yunhai was stunned.
What kind of nonsense was this?
What did he mean by "that close"?
They were siblings—same father, same mother! How much closer could they be?
Sure, they’d been separated for years, but blood runs thicker than water.
"Brother-in-law, well… my sister doesn’t exactly know about this yet."
"But everyone in the Mu family is aware of the situation between you two."
"It’s only a matter of time, right?"
"My sister even gave you the Godslayer Sword—that speaks volumes."
"We’re family now, brother-in-law. There are a lot of people watching—save me some face," Mu Yunhai whispered as a reminder.
Seeing Mu Yunhai’s pleading look, Chen Chang'an knew exactly how to take advantage of the situation. He slung an arm over Mu Yunhai’s shoulder and grinned.
"Little brother-in-law, since you came all this way to see your brother-in-law…"
"Didn’t you bring any gifts?"
Save you face? Sure, but not without some benefits.
As the saying goes, even brothers keep clear accounts—let alone a self-proclaimed brother-in-law.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
"Brother-in-law, while you were in seclusion, I made a huge profit."
"Don’t say I don’t know how to treat family."
"How about we split it fifty-fifty?"
Mu Yunhai was being generous—he wasn’t a fool. Building a good relationship with Chen Chang'an meant endless benefits in the future.
This man was universally acknowledged by the Nine Great Immortal Clans as the most monstrous talent and the most overpowered existence.
Even the stubborn old relics of the Mu family held Chen Chang'an in high esteem. Mu Yunhai knew which side his bread was buttered on.
"Deal!"
"You’re a smart kid, little brother-in-law."
"Remember, if you ever need anything, just come to your brother-in-law. Small matters? I can’t be bothered. Big matters? I can’t handle them. But no matter what, don’t hesitate—come to me anytime. It’ll work!"
"Great, great!"
"Thanks, brother-in-law!"
Mu Yunhai was grinning from ear to ear, but after a moment, he realized something was off.
Wait… wasn’t that just a fancy way of saying he wouldn’t help at all?
"Hold on—brother-in-law, I’m your real brother-in-law!"
"What?"
"And this is how you treat me?"
"Be grateful. Anyone else wouldn’t even get that line from me."
"So I should thank you?"
"Don’t mention it. We’re family."
"I—"
Mu Yunhai never imagined that his sister—so outstanding, so upright, so kind—would choose a disciple and future husband who was this shameless and unscrupulous.
Was there some mistake in the process?
Though he felt a bit wronged, Mu Yunhai kept up an enthusiastic front. He couldn’t let others laugh at him.
No way!
Even if he had to grit his teeth and swallow his pride, he’d keep up appearances.
"See that?"
"My brother-in-law—legit!"
"From now on, you’d better behave, or I’ll have him teach you a lesson."
"Ahem—brother-in-law, slow down, wait for me!"
Mu Yunhai was still trying to show off when he noticed Chen Chang'an had already turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Seeing Chen Chang'an about to leave, Ye Beixuan grew anxious. After waiting all this time, was he just going to walk away?
"Hmm?"
"You need something?" Chen Chang'an frowned at Ye Beixuan.
"I am Ye Beixuan."
Ye Beixuan?
The former number one on the Heavenly Proud Rankings? The universally recognized top genius?
"You’re looking for me?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"I wish to challenge you."
A challenge?
Chen Chang'an had expected this after taking the top spot on the rankings, but he hadn’t thought it would happen so soon.
Still… why should he accept?
"You’re no match for me."
"Let it go."
"You were once the top genius—losing in front of all these people would be embarrassing," Chen Chang'an said dismissively.
If anyone else had said this, Ye Beixuan would’ve been furious—maybe even attacked on the spot.
But coming from Chen Chang'an, it was different.
Even before Chen Chang'an went into seclusion, Ye Beixuan wasn’t confident he could defeat him. Now that Chen Chang'an had reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, who knew how much stronger he’d become?
But Ye Beixuan wasn’t one to back down. He wanted to see just how terrifying the man who had stolen his title truly was.
"Choosing pride over self-awareness isn’t worth it."
"I’m not afraid of humiliation. I just want to see the gap between us."
"I hope you’ll grant me this opportunity, Brother Chen."
Ye Beixuan’s humble request shocked those who knew him. This was the unyielding, prideful Ye Beixuan—yet here he was, practically begging Chen Chang'an for a fight.
Seeing this, Chen Chang'an gained newfound respect for him. This was a real man. His reputation as the top genius wasn’t unearned.
"Brother-in-law, Ye Beixuan never bows his head, not even in life-or-death situations."
"He genuinely wants to fight you."
"Why won’t you agree?" Mu Yunhai asked, puzzled.
"I don’t do things without benefits."
Chen Chang'an’s bluntness left Mu Yunhai speechless.
Benefits?
You want compensation just for a fight? Are you that desperate?
"Old Ye."
"You made a profit too, right?"
"Why not hand it all over to my brother-in-law?"
"What do you think?" Mu Yunhai suggested.
Ye Beixuan nodded without hesitation. To him, the chance to fight Chen Chang'an far outweighed any material gains.
"There’s a benefit?"
"You should’ve said so earlier!"
"Let me see how much it is first."
Watching Chen Chang'an’s shameless behavior, Mu Yunhai suddenly regretted everything.
This… is beyond embarrassing!
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.”

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."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
