Su Bai immediately understood the cryptic message from "Hu Ye."
Could it be that someone saw him picking up the Wan sisters in his car?
Quite possible.
Whatever—if they saw it, they saw it. It's not like it's illegal.
In all my actions, I, Su Bai, have always been open and aboveboard. What's wrong with having a few more female friends?
What? You're saying I've been hanging out with two different girls over the past few days?
Well, when the mood is right, I just go with the flow to accommodate the ladies' feelings.
"Su Bai, your car is so spacious. It must've cost a fortune, right?"
The passenger seat was naturally occupied by the younger sister, Wan Xinyan.
Su Bai had noticed something: whenever the two sisters were together, it was always the younger one who took the lead, while the older one, Wan Xinyue, might as well have been an NPC—their personalities were just that different.
"Not too bad, just a few hundred grand."
"Listen to you! A few hundred grand could build a three-story house back in our hometown. The whole village would be jealous."
"Where’s your hometown?"
"A neighboring province in the southwest. It’s even a nationally designated poverty-stricken county that made the news. We owe a lot to government subsidies—otherwise, we’d never have gotten into a top school like Jiangcheng University."
"You two must’ve worked hard, then."
"Sort of. The arts college’s admission scores aren’t that high. The upside is that after getting in, we could use the school’s reputation to land part-time gigs—like hosting commercial events, voice acting, stuff like that..."
Wan Xinyan was quite talkative, openly acknowledging her humble background without hesitation. Even her excitement about riding in the Mercedes was genuine.
Su Bai appreciated that kind of honesty.
As long as you state your needs, we can work something out.
Girls who try to manipulate rich guys just because they’re young and pretty? Su Bai wanted nothing to do with them. Not that he couldn’t handle it—it was just too much hassle.
Soon, the trio arrived at Baixiang Mall, a commercial area near the university.
Unlike the upscale IKC Plaza that Su Bai frequented lately, this place catered to budget-conscious shoppers, packed with college students on weekends.
Since it was a weekday, the crowd wasn’t too bad.
Wan Xinyan first asked Su Bai if he had any preferred brands or shopping plans. When he said no, they headed straight for their intended destination—Decathlon.
It was a large, affordable sports retailer, selling everything from basic workout gear and hiking shoes to entry-level mountain bikes—basically anything sports-related.
All about value for money.
Wan Xinyan wasn’t foolish enough to drag Su Bai into a luxury boutique and hint at him footing the bill.
That was a low-tier gold-digger move.
Besides, she and her sister were young, fresh, and naturally attractive—they didn’t need high-end brands to prop them up.
With a glance at her sister, Wan Xinyan signaled the start of their little operation.
Older sister Wan Xinyue caught on immediately, drifting off toward the hiking poles section, pretending to browse.
Meanwhile, Wan Xinyan picked out a form-fitting compression top and a pair of sleek shark-print leggings.
After rustling around in the fitting room for a bit, she suddenly poked her head out from behind the curtain, looking slightly flustered.
"Su Bai, could you come help me for a sec?"
Her tone was so natural, and she’d cleverly switched to calling him "Su Bai-gege" (Big Brother Su Bai).
The nearby store clerk automatically assumed they were related—after all, the twins and Su Bai were all good-looking. It wouldn’t be strange if they were family.
So, the clerk didn’t bat an eye as Su Bai slipped into the fitting room where a girl was already changing.
Once Su Bai squeezed into the cramped space...
Well, when someone invites you so earnestly, how could a gentleman like him refuse?
He was just being helpful!
Thus, Su Bai assisted Wan Xinyan with her wardrobe dilemma.
Curious, he couldn’t help asking, "How old are you and your sister?"
"We’re adults! We’ll be eighteen this summer," Wan Xinyan giggled. "Su Bai-gege, why ask something so random?"
"Your skin just feels so soft... Wait, no—if we’re the same age, why call me ‘gege’?" Su Bai laughed too.
"Because you give off such a reliable vibe! Age doesn’t prove anything in this world."
Wan Xinyan sighed. "Take you, for example—you’re only eighteen but already drive such a nice car, yet you never flaunt it. Unlike some people... cough some people!"
"Haha, he really is..." Su Bai instantly got her meaning.
That local guy’s antics were just too meme-worthy. Anyone who knew him couldn’t help but roast him.
"Xinyue and I usually pinch pennies, too afraid to splurge on anything fancy. Other girls in the arts college wear Lululemon, but we stick to Decathlon. Sure, people online say clothes are all the same, but the fabric quality is definitely different."
"True enough."
...
Not bad.
...
Wan Xinyan’s gaze grew increasingly affectionate.
"Su Bai-gege, you know... orphans like us from the countryside, raised by our grandma with no one else to rely on—coming to the big city, our only hope is to change our fate."
She tilted her slightly chubby-cheeked, innocent face up, locking eyes with Su Bai. "Su Bai-gege... can you change our fate?"

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.”
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.
