Gu Lingfei was once again plagued by insomnia.
If it were just some ordinary noise, she could have put on her headphones and managed to fall asleep.
But even with earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and her head buried under the covers, sleep still eluded her.
When she finally managed to drift off, she ended up having a dream.
And the subject of that dream was...
Too embarrassing! Gu Lingfei quickly adjusted her clothes, her face burning with shame.
Just then, Jiang Che knocked on her door. Since it wasn’t locked, he pushed it open and walked in.
"Feifei, it's time for dinner... Wait, what's going on with you?"
Jiang Che frowned as he asked.
Gu Lingfei: "..."
Just let the world end already!
She had never imagined she would lose her composure like this in front of Jiang Che.
"Ahem... Xiao Che, you should leave first! I'm fine."
It was clear that Gu Lingfei wasn’t good at lying.
Or rather, she wasn’t good at lying to Jiang Che.
After all, Gu Lingfei had built a business empire through her own efforts. She was the type who could charm anyone with her words.
But in front of Jiang Che, she couldn’t even tell a simple lie without stumbling over her words.
"Go already!"
Gu Lingfei forcefully pushed Jiang Che out of the room, then slumped to the floor.
Her image as the composed, mature older sister was completely shattered.
...
At the dining table, only Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei were present.
Qin Qiaoqiao was a sleepyhead and would likely sleep until noon.
Gu Lingfei, on the other hand, kept her head down, sipping her porridge, not daring to look up at Jiang Che.
She was feeling too guilty!
Just then, Jiang Che spoke up.
"Feifei, did you have a good dream last night?"
!!!
Gu Lingfei, already on edge, was nearly scared out of her wits!
Had she been sleepwalking? Or talking in her sleep? Had she exposed herself?
"N-no, not really. Work has been busy lately, so I must have slept pretty soundly. I don’t think I had any dreams."
Gu Lingfei wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Really?"
Jiang Che smirked. "Then why did you keep calling my name in your sleep last night?"
Gu Lingfei was done for.
Completely and utterly done.
Any hope of salvaging the situation was gone. Not only had she had *that* kind of dream, but she had also been talking in her sleep.
This was an epic-level social disaster!
"Xiao Che, stop messing around. I must have just been mumbling nonsense."
Gu Lingfei’s eyes darted around, avoiding Jiang Che’s gaze at all costs.
Her heart was in chaos.
"Oh, I see. So I didn’t know that Feifei liked me so much, huh?"
"Hmm?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. His Feifei, who appeared to be a cold and aloof beauty, was actually a complete novice when it came to romance. A few teasing words from him, and she was already flustered.
Gu Lingfei’s heart was in turmoil!
......
Chen Hao had been fired again.
"Why? I was just doing my job by stopping him. Jiang Che isn’t a resident of this community. Why couldn’t I stop him?"
Chen Hao shouted in frustration.
A chubby man in a suit glared at him.
"You’re just a security guard. How can you be so clueless?"
"Even if you don’t recognize a Maybach, you should at least recognize the license plate, right? A license plate with '99999' is something you don’t mess with!"
"You weren’t stopping a car; you were stopping your own future. Jiang Che stepped out of that car, and you stepped out of your job!"
"So, you’re fired!"
Chen Hao’s veins bulged on his forehead.
It felt like the entire world was against him.
From being a school security guard to a company security guard, and now a community security guard, he had never lasted more than a week in any of these jobs before getting fired.
"Damn Jiang Che! I’ve already reached the Perfect Stage of Dark Force. Once I break through to Transform Force, I’ll take your life!"
That’s right, Chen Hao had leveled up again!
He had come to realize that being a security guard was actually a blessing in disguise for him.
After being fired from the school, he had advanced from Middle Stage Dark Force to Late Stage Dark Force. After being fired from the company, he had reached Perfect Stage Dark Force.
"Break to build" had almost become his personal motto.
"And that Su Han... Next time I see you, I’ll pin you to the wall and beat you senseless!"
That bastard had dared to spit phlegm into his mouth!
He still remembered that disgusting, smoky-tasting glob of mucus lodged in his throat—it had almost killed him.
Just then, an arrogant voice rang out.
"So you’re Chen Hao, huh?"
Su Han clenched his fists. According to the intel from his informant, this Chen Hao was the eldest son of the Chen family and one of his enemies.
Before taking down the ancient martial arts Chen family, he would start by beating up this Chen Hao!
"It’s you???"
The moment Chen Hao saw Su Han, rage surged within him.
When enemies meet, sparks fly.
They immediately started fighting.
Perfect Stage Dark Force vs. Perfect Stage Dark Force.
At first, they used all sorts of flashy techniques, but eventually, it devolved into a simple brawl.
And then...
"What are you two doing? Hands up! Hey, hey... We’ve got two suspected ancient martial artists fighting at the west gate of Juhua Community. Requesting immediate backup!"
Chen Hao: "..."
Su Han: "..."

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
