It was another bright and sunny day.
Sunlight scattered across the campus of Jiangcheng University like flakes of gold. The number of students out for their morning runs had noticeably decreased compared to before, even though the current weather was actually perfect for exercising.
Having just gone through a busy period, students always needed some time to slack off. It was a kind of dynamic equilibrium. It was like how you always felt full of hope for life after taking a morning dump—after all, the filth had been expelled, so how could you not be full of hope?
However, for Su Bai, today was a day for business.
In the morning, he went to the clothing factory to sign a contract. Xia had helped him find a seller. Although she didn't know what the point of Su Bai buying this thing was, Xia always did her best to fulfill the various needs of her little brother Su Bai.
In the afternoon, there was a contract signing at an office building. He was going to meet the owner. It probably wouldn't be a problem; she was a refined, middle-aged woman, and Su Bai had communicated with her quite smoothly over a video call.
Actually, as long as money wasn't an issue, communication would generally go smoothly, provided one's emotional intelligence wasn't as abysmally low as Brother Tao's...
Su Bai hadn't really experienced the life of a businessman before, so today was an eye-opener for him.
He got things done smoothly without much haggling.
The overall feeling was that it was a bit troublesome, having to run around everywhere.
But it was also quite fulfilling. Seeing the funds in his account break the five hundred million mark after these two cashback transactions put him in a very cheerful mood.
"Where are we going to play tonight?" Zhou Jialu asked in a sweet voice as she massaged Su Bai's shoulders from the side.
Even though Su Bai's neck and shoulders were perfectly healthy, she still loved to take the initiative to show affection to him in public. Receiving the mixed gazes of onlookers gave her an inexplicable sense of joy.
"I haven't decided yet. Hmm... let's go find Lu Yuning and share the good news with her. Now that we have the factory, her project can be launched. It's not just about your clothes, but also some of her own little dreams..."
Mentioning this, Su Bai remembered some information Zhou Jialu had shared with him.
When she went to look for Lu Yuning, there were a few times when she encountered the girl with a flushed face, and the room was filled with a faint, intriguing fragrance.
Based on her experience, Zhou Jialu speculated that Lu Yuning was probably very fond of enjoying some self-love.
Su Bai thought this was a good thing; it proved she had a strong desire in that aspect. Of course, it wasn't entirely a good thing. If she relied too much on her own hardworking hands, it would be detrimental to her body in the long run. How should he put it? According to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, it meant a lack of harmony between yin and yang.
He would help her harmonize it tonight.
"Since we're going to find Ningning, let's pack some desserts on the way~" Zhou Jialu suggested.
"Why desserts?"
"She likes sweet things."
"You even know that."
"Hehe~ I know the preferences of all of my junior husband's confidantes like the back of my hand. Aren't you going to praise me?"
A smile played on Su Bai's lips as he used his actions to reward his senior. His fingers brushed against the material of her 25D skin-colored pantyhose.
With a smooth one-handed maneuver, coupled with the weak-point attack of the [XX Emperor] skill, he quickly made his senior cover her mouth and let out embarrassing sounds within just a minute.
"Wu wu... Junior, you... ah, you're so bad..."
Zhou Jialu's eyes also flickered with astonishment.
Her reaction was even stronger than when Su Bai had experimented on the Wan sisters previously.
In addition to his inherent skills, Su Bai had also incorporated some basic traditional medical techniques. Therefore, the various skills given by the System Bro were all interconnected and comprehensive, rather than just rigid knowledge.
"That was amazing. What was that just now?" Taking advantage of Su Bai waiting at a red light, Zhou Jialu charmingly hugged his arm and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"If you like it, I can give you a taste of it anytime when we're out shopping in the future..."
"No, no, no, that's too stimulating. It would be so embarrassing."
Zhou Jialu's expression drastically changed as she imagined the scene:
In a luxury boutique, Su Bai's hand would wrap around her slender waist and suddenly start acting naughty. Then, under the bewildered gaze of the saleswoman, she would start acting all weird...
No, that was too outrageous!
But if her junior husband liked it, well, it wasn't entirely impossible~
Zhou Jialu whispered this conclusion into Su Bai's ear, making him burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked, a little annoyed, playfully scratching Su Bai's arm with her fingertips.
Su Bai pinched her cheek and kissed her small mouth.
Bringing his senior along for business occasions was the best. She was the seductive and bewitching type, the kind where "just by holding a man's arm, onlookers would immediately assume the man is definitely rich."
She could act coquettish and sweet, yet she was also very capable. She could help Su Bai review contracts and organize all matters in an orderly manner.
It seemed she had indeed grown quite a bit... Su Bai remembered that when she first started as a manager, she was still a bit flustered. But now, she handled things with ease and cooperated well with the Wan sisters, even though there was always a faint sense of competition lingering between them.
Because of this, Su Bai also had to use this quick-arrival technique on Zhou Jialu; otherwise, his senior would get jealous.
Returning to Ascott, they went straight to Lu Yuning's home.
"Boss, welcome... thank you for gracing me with your presence..." Lu Yuning said shyly, twisting her body slightly.
"Hilarious. What the hell do you mean 'gracing you with my presence'? Don't treat me like a stranger, okay? We are soulmates who share the same perverted aesthetics!" Su Bai teased.
"Eh, what perverted aesthetics..."
"Just... the clothes..."
Zhou Jialu's question made Lu Yuning even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and played with the hem of her nightgown, though she couldn't help but steal glances at Su Bai from the corner of her eye.
The boss was truly different from everyone else.
That inclusive and completely non-aggressive aura was something Lu Yuning had never experienced from anyone else.
In social interactions, the weaker party was often the more sensitive one. Because Lu Yuning had an exceptionally soft and gentle temperament, she was easily bullied, so she felt this point particularly deeply.
Su Bai was a super dominant man, yet he didn't give her any sense of discomfort.
"These are some documents we got from the factory today. Take a look. If you need any other equipment, just say the word, and I'll go buy it."
Lu Yuning hurriedly took the documents and looked through them. After a while, she quickly said, "This is already enough."
"That's good. Next year I'll take you to see the factory and introduce you to the person in charge. From now on, you can just direct their work remotely."
"Mhm... thank you, Boss!"
Lu Yuning was almost moved to tears of gratitude. Just look at this treatment! Even the exclusive designers of big celebrities might not have such an exaggerated level of freedom.
Following Su Bai was definitely the right choice.
Watching Zhou Jialu arrange a pile of desserts on the table, Lu Yuning couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Let's eat something together to celebrate. Also, I brought some wine." Su Bai took out a bottle of red wine and shook it slightly. "On the day we met, we drank this, and you said you quite liked it."
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
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.

The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well!

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.

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.”
