A shameless man is a mediocre man.

In the hearts of everyone in the Mu family, Mu Yunhai was not someone easy to deal with.

This guy had a temper—when it flared up, he’d even argue with the family elders.

But why was he acting so docile around Chen Chang'an?

So docile, in fact, that they began to suspect this Mu Yunhai might be an imposter.

Had Chen Chang'an bewitched him? Did Chen Chang'an possess some kind of charm magic? And did that even work on men?

Did Mu Yunhai like men?

Holy shit!

Were both siblings into the same guy?

This… was way too scandalous!

In just an instant, everyone’s minds had already conjured up a melodramatic soap opera.

"Stop fooling around with me."

"Did you even hear what I just asked you?" Chen Chang'an frowned.

"Huh?"

"What did you ask?"

Turns out, out of everything Chen Chang'an had just said, Mu Yunhai only caught the word "friend." The rest? Not a single syllable had registered.

"I asked, didn’t the Ye Family notify your father?" Chen Chang'an said.

"The Ye Family…"

"Ah, big bro, you don’t know this, but the Ye Family is in deep trouble. Like, seriously deep."

"By now, the Ye Family is probably already…"

"But I did hear from my father that Ye Beixuan managed to escape. He should still be alive."

"As for the rest of the Ye Family… well, they’re probably…"

Hearing Mu Yunhai’s words, Chen Chang'an was stunned. Had the Ye Family not spread the news that they’d survived the crisis?

Why did it seem like the Mu family was still in the dark about the Ye Family’s true situation?

"The Ye Family is fine."

"What about your Mu family?"

"From the looks of it, your family doesn’t seem to have suffered much damage," Chen Chang'an remarked.

"Yeah, we got off easier. The demons just caused some minor disruptions to keep us from aiding the Ye Family."

"Who would’ve thought the demons would make a comeback like this?"

"Such a shame for the Ye Family… Wait, brother-in-law, what did you just say?"

"The Ye Family is fine?"

Only then did Mu Yunhai realize Chen Chang'an had just claimed the Ye Family was unharmed.

But the Ye Family had borne the full brunt of the demon invasion this time—the demons had specifically targeted them. How could they possibly be fine?

"Brother-in-law, have you been to the Ye Family?" Mu Yunhai asked in shock.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could the Ye Family have emerged unscathed?"

At this, Mu Yunhai was completely dumbfounded. He knew Chen Chang'an was strong, but he was still part of the younger generation. How could he have intervened in a battle of that scale?

And even ensured the Ye Family’s survival?

It wasn’t just Mu Yunhai who was stunned—the other Mu family members who had come to greet them were equally speechless.

They knew firsthand how powerful the demons were, and they’d heard that a large force of high-ranking demons had attacked the Ye Family.

And Chen Chang'an alone had resolved such a crisis?

Wasn’t this just bragging to the extreme?

"Brother-in-law, just… what’s your current strength?"

"Your cultivation… Peak Immortal King?"

"How… how are you already at Peak Immortal King?"

Only now did Mu Yunhai take a closer look at Chen Chang'an’s cultivation level. To his shock, he was already at the Peak Immortal King realm.

Wasn’t this breakthrough speed way too ridiculous?

Since parting ways in Liuyun Domain, Mu Yunhai had also been training diligently, but he’d only recently broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Even so, the Mu family had celebrated for days—after all, Mu Yunhai’s progress ranked among the top three in the family’s history.

But compared to Chen Chang'an? This… this wasn’t even a competition.

"You think it’s a bit slow too, don’t you?"

"Sigh, I was originally hoping to break through directly to the Immortal Emperor realm."

"But you know how it is—the energy required for my breakthroughs is just too massive."

"Probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of times what an ordinary person needs."

"Really embarrassing, huh?"

Holy shit!

Was this even human speech?

Could you be any more shameless?

Needing tens or hundreds of thousands of times more energy than others to break through, yet still advancing this fast—how were others supposed to keep up?

Mu Yunhai felt his facial muscles go numb. Should he laugh? Or not?

"Brother-in-law, since we’re family, can I ask you a… somewhat personal question?" Mu Yunhai said with a serious expression.

"Hm?"

"Personal?"

"Then don’t ask. I’d rather not answer," Chen Chang'an replied without hesitation.

"It’s not that personal."

"It’s just… has anyone ever told you that the way you talk is really shameless?"

Shameless?

Did he even need to ask?

"People compliment me like that all the time."

"Probably because I’m just too outstanding."

"You know how it is—the more exceptional someone is, the more envy they attract."

"Hasn’t anyone ever said that about you?"

Chen Chang'an’s response left Mu Yunhai utterly dumbfounded. Damn it, how was he supposed to answer this?

If he said no, wouldn’t that imply he wasn’t outstanding enough? But if he said yes, wouldn’t that mean he was admitting to being shameless too?

"Ahem, well, I—yes, people have said that about me."

"Same here, someone’s called me shameless."

"Me too, I’m shameless."

"I’m the most shameless!"

"I’m the number one shameless person in the world!"

Before Mu Yunhai could react, the others around him had already jumped in to answer.

No way were they losing out on this. If they couldn’t compete in other areas, at least they could win in this.

Besides, admitting it meant they were outstanding too—just like Chen Chang'an.

"Brother-in-law, do you think I’m… shameless?" Mu Yunhai asked.

"You?"

"Well, you’re still a bit behind me."

"But I see potential in you. Keep at it, and you’ll become even more shameless."

"You must strive, you must persevere."

"What must you do?"

"What kind of person must you become?" Chen Chang'an asked with a grave expression.

Mu Yunhai straightened his face and boomed like thunder:

"I will become the most shameless, most shameless person in the Ancient Immortal Domain!"

"Good!"

"Such ambition!"

"Such vision!"

"I knew I wasn’t wrong about you."

"Yunhai, the future of shamelessness rests on your shoulders."

"You… are the King of Shamelessness!"

"No—you are the Emperor of Shamelessness!"

"Unprecedented, and never to be surpassed."

Chen Chang'an’s words filled Mu Yunhai with excitement!

The Emperor of Shamelessness!

"Brother-in-law, don’t worry!"

"I’ll work hard and strive to become the pinnacle of shamelessness, leaving everyone else in the dust."

"I will be the Emperor of Shamelessness!"

SLAP!

Before Mu Yunhai could finish, a sudden slap sent him flying.

Mu Tianye stood there, his face dark as he glared in the direction Mu Yunhai had been sent.

"Disgrace to the family!"

"A disgrace to the family!"
