"It's quite rare for you to hang out with us today, old Ao," Huang Fei joked half-heartedly.
"Yeah, usually after your workout, you disappear. We thought you weren’t coming back today. Spill it—did your girl kick you out after a fight?" Li Longlong chimed in with a laugh.
"I bet that’s it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t look so down," Xu Shuai punched Long Aotian’s arm playfully. "Cheer up! You’ve still got us!"
Long Aotian sighed. He had been about to head home when he got a message from his girl, and now the three of them had roped him into staying out.
They’d only just gotten together, and already he was living the "no going home" life. Long Aotian couldn’t help but feel helpless.
"You promised to introduce us to your girl ages ago. Did you forget?" Huang Fei glanced at the restaurant in front of them. "Let’s just eat here. It’ll do."
"Give it some time. I’ll have her cook for you guys," Long Aotian replied without looking up, typing a quick response to his girl.
The moment he said that, Huang Fei and the others perked up instantly. "What? Your girl can cook?"
Long Aotian suppressed a smirk, feigning nonchalance. "What’s the big deal? She’s just decent at it—like, barely passable."
"Honestly, it’s just slightly delicious. No need to make a fuss."
Then, glancing at Xu Shuai and Li Longlong, he raised an eyebrow mockingly. "Wait… don’t tell me you’ve never had a homemade meal from your girlfriends?"
Xu Shuai froze for a second before forcing a laugh. "Of course I have! Hahaha, good joke..."
Li Longlong cleared his throat awkwardly. "You know how busy my senior is. I always want her to rest when she has time..."
"Oh!" Long Aotian nodded sagely. "No worries. When the time comes, I’ll let you taste your sister-in-law’s cooking. Just slightly amazing."
Seeing Long Aotian’s smug face, the three immediately ganged up on him.
Laughing and shoving each other, the four of them walked into the restaurant.
......
Shen Mengjie glanced up as the four men passed by the café.
With a mocking smile, she turned to Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua, who were hiding under the table. "They’re gone."
Only then did the two cautiously peek out from beneath the table, confirming that the group had indeed left before finally relaxing. They straightened their clothes and sat back down as if nothing had happened.
Shen Mengjie watched them with amusement. "Are you two really that scared of Long Aotian?"
Ye Liangchen slowly closed his eyes.
Xue Shaohua, however, answered bluntly, "Old Ye had a little… disagreement with Long Aotian not long ago."
As Xue Shaohua finished speaking, Ye Liangchen reopened his eyes and looked at Shen Mengjie. "Just a minor misunderstanding. Nothing to worry about!"
Curious, Shen Mengjie pressed further. "What was the disagreement about?"
Ye Liangchen wiped his face with a hand, his expression tinged with disdain. "I met up with a friend I’ve known for nine years. Apparently, that made someone feel threatened. Pathetic."
He took a deep breath. "He couldn’t handle my presence, so he attacked me out of nowhere. Caught me off guard—just a single punch, no big deal."
"But he didn’t walk away unscathed either." Ye Liangchen smirked. If he’d stayed down for two more seconds, Long Aotian would’ve lost his mind!
Shen Mengjie rolled her eyes. They were clearly terrified of Long Aotian, yet they kept making excuses to cover up their cowardice. How ridiculous.
"Wasn’t the plan for you two to stay away unless I contacted you? So why are you here today?" Shen Mengjie rested her chin on her hand, blinking coquettishly.
The gesture, coming from her, was deliberately provocative.
"Change of plans," Ye Liangchen said darkly. "The original setup stays, but after you get Long Aotian drunk and take the photos, we’ll handle the rest."
Originally, the plan was for Shen Mengjie to get Long Aotian drunk, take compromising photos, and then stage a scene where she’d pretend he had taken advantage of her—complete with the classic line, "No girl would joke about her own innocence." That way, he’d have no choice but to admit guilt.
But now, they had a new idea. Shen Mengjie would just take the photos as backup, and they would personally ensure Long Aotian was "ruined" before taking more incriminating shots. Double the leverage!
The thought of Long Aotian’s smug face when he punched him made Ye Liangchen burn with the urge to retaliate—to prove once and for all who was truly weak.
Beside him, Xue Shaohua’s lips curled into a sinister grin.
Shen Mengjie suddenly felt like the two men before her had changed.
They usually reacted very differently to her charms. She knew how to use her beauty to her advantage, yet just now, neither had even blinked at her teasing. Strange.
Not long ago, they’d been so infatuated they’d probably call even her farts fragrant...
Had something happened recently that she didn’t know about?
Then, she noticed something odd—Ye Liangchen’s hand brushed against Xue Shaohua’s, and both jerked away as if electrocuted.
Why were they blushing?
"Mind explaining why? The original plan was solid. If we mess this up now, all our effort goes to waste," Shen Mengjie pressed.
Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua exchanged confident smiles.
They weren’t worried about failure.
If a girl’s innocence was compromised—even if forced—the gossip alone could drown a person.
That was why Hu Yuying had stayed with Long Aotian without resistance.
And the same logic applied to men. If word got out that Long Aotian had been "deflowered," the humiliation would be unbearable—especially for someone as prideful as him. It’d be worse than death!
At that thought, Ye Liangchen decided he should call Gao Quan and invite him to the capital for a visit.
If Long Aotian snapped and tried to kill someone, Gao Quan could take the hit for him.
Not only would he avoid repaying the 200 yuan he owed Gao Quan, but he’d also have proof of Long Aotian’s crime. From then on, Long Aotian would be under his thumb—forever.
The plan was flawless. One misstep from Long Aotian, and he’d be doomed.
Then, they’d force Long Aotian to call Hu Yuying to a hotel. Lights off—Ye Liangchen would make his grand entrance.
He couldn’t wait to see the look on Hu Yuying’s face when she realized it was him.
And Long Aotian? Forced to watch from the sidelines, even helping—what kind of expression would he make?
Just the thought of it made Ye Liangchen laugh out loud in excitement.
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.
