Qiangwei was blushing!
Being teased by Jiang Che to the point of shyness, even though she didn’t show it, Jiang Che could hear her inner thoughts!
This little iceberg... was melting!
Although Jiang Che was a villain, he still preferred this kind of gradual process.
Afterward, he took Qiangwei to an amusement park.
He had thought that a girl like Qiangwei, who had been a mercenary and was used to life-and-death situations, would be interested in thrilling rides.
But instead... she dragged him to ride the carousel all afternoon.
"Brother Jiang Che, thank you... I’m really happy."
In just one day, Jiang Che had left an indelible impression on Qiangwei’s heart.
"Little Qiangwei, I know Brother Huai’s death hit you hard, but don’t lose hope. You still have me!"
As a master of manipulation, Jiang Che began to 'brainwash' the innocent girl once again.
He used a cage called 'love' to gradually envelop Qiangwei, slowly replacing Su Han’s place in her heart...
Qiangwei remained silent.
Jiang Che could have pushed further at this moment, but he didn’t. Instead, he gently hooked his finger under her delicate nose.
He took her small hand and lightly kissed the back of it.
Qiangwei retracted her hand as if shocked, her mind going blank.
"My apologies. I heard that hand-kissing is quite popular in foreign countries," Jiang Che said with a slight smile.
He had Qiangwei completely under his control!
"It’s... it’s fine."
Even when she was dropped off at the hotel, Qiangwei’s mind was still in a daze.
Her previous life had been filled with the chaos of war, brutal and unforgiving. Even in the Wolf Fang mercenary group... no one had shown her such pampering just because she was the sister of the old Wolf King. She had to rely on herself to survive!
But today, she had experienced being cherished. That feeling was completely different from the love her brother had shown her, and she couldn’t help but look forward to meeting Jiang Che again.
......
"A... Achoo!"
In the security room, Su Han suddenly sneezed.
For some reason, he felt a sense of unease, as if something important to him was quietly slipping away.
Suddenly, he thought of his little sister, Qiangwei.
Truth be told, he did have feelings for Qiangwei, but he had been pursuing Gu Lingfei all this time. If Gu Lingfei found out about Qiangwei, he would be completely out of the game. Besides... Qiangwei had always been like a little sister to him.
But now that he thought about it, Qiangwei was indeed quite beautiful.
"Qiangwei, wait for me. Once I win over Gu Lingfei, I’ll leave Dragon Country, and then I’ll come back to pursue you!"
Unfortunately, while ideals are plump, reality is bony.
Not only could he not win over Gu Lingfei, but even his little admirer was about to be swayed by Jiang Che.
......
After dropping Qiangwei off at the hotel, Jiang Che went to pick up Yu Wan'er from school.
"Hmph, Jiang Che, you skip classes all the time. No wonder you’re such a slacker."
Yu Wan'er had quite a bit of prejudice against Jiang Che, an inexplicable bias.
Like a tsundere brat who sees all men as losers, wanting to crush them under her feet.
"Heh... Teacher Yu, isn’t it because you’re always tutoring me? My grades are all thanks to you."
Yu Wan'er began to feel a bit smug.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and let out a proud laugh.
"Hmph, at least you have some conscience."
But soon, Yu Wan'er stopped laughing. She sniffed the air and narrowed her eyes.
"Stinky Jiang Che! You smell like another girl. It’s not Yao Yao or Sister Qiao Qiao. Who is it?"
Jiang Che couldn’t help but laugh. Was this girl part bloodhound?
"You don’t have the right to ask."
Yu Wan'er: "╰（‵□′）╯"
But obviously, her flailing claws couldn’t do any harm to Jiang Che.
......
Jiang Che drove to Gu Lingfei’s company to pick her up and, incidentally, check on Su Han, the so-called 'chosen one.'
Su Han, who had been sitting idly in the security room, frowned when he saw the Maybach with the license plate number 99999.
He cursed the rich jerk in his heart.
But then it hit him!
That was Jiang Che, Gu Lingfei’s younger brother’s car!
In an instant, he became excited.
If he wanted to win Gu Lingfei’s favor, getting close to her brother Jiang Che was definitely the way to go. If Jiang Che was happy and said a few good words about him to Gu Lingfei, wouldn’t that be perfect?
Plus, Jiang Che had promised to teach him the secrets of winning over Gu Lingfei!
So he quickly put on a smile and ran over to Jiang Che’s car. "Hehehe, I’ve been waiting for you for days. You finally came!"
After Jiang Che got out of the car, Su Han approached with a fawning expression.
"Oh? And you are?"
Jiang Che pretended to be puzzled.
Su Han’s mouth twitched. This guy didn’t remember him???
A wave of anger surged in his heart. He was Su Han, the Wolf King, not some random NPC on the street. But his anger quickly dissipated. After all, this was Gu Lingfei’s brother. He had to suck up to him!
"I’m Su Han! Don’t you remember me? You said you’d teach me how to win over Lingfei!"
"Oh!!! It’s you!"
Jiang Che nodded, pretending to suddenly remember.
"Brother Jiang Che, can you help me..."
"Brother?" Jiang Che’s tone dragged out.
Wolf King, I’m glad you’re talking to me, but your choice of address... I don’t like it!
Su Han’s mouth twitched again. He cursed Jiang Che in his heart.
This jerk, trying to take advantage of me?
But for Lingfei’s sake... he’d endure it!
Once I marry Lingfei and become your brother-in-law, I’ll make you listen at the door every night!
"Ahem... Brother Jiang Che, can you tell me... how should I pursue Lingfei?"
Jiang Che smiled. Not bad, a bit smarter than Lin Yu.
"Brother Su, actually, Lingfei has mentioned your name to me quite often!"
Su Han’s eyes lit up at Jiang Che’s words.
"Really? Lingfei really talks about me often?"
"Of course. But do you know why she doesn’t like you?"
"Why?"
"Because you come off as too barbaric, like some savage who crawled out of a mountain of corpses."
Su Han was a bit angered by the first part of Jiang Che’s statement, but he felt better after hearing the second part.
Heh, who was he? Su Han, the Wolf King!
Decisiveness and ruthlessness were his trademarks. Naturally, he was a fierce man who had fought his way out of a sea of blood.
"Brother Jiang Che, you’re not wrong. To be honest, I’m actually..."
Su Han was about to brag, but Jiang Che cut him off.
"That’s exactly why Lingfei doesn’t like you. Most girls these days don’t go for the rugged, muscular type anymore. You need to adapt, maybe... be a bit more delicate."
"Delicate?" Su Han was confused.
Jiang Che pulled out his phone and played a video for him.
"Eating a peach~~~ so cold~~~ ah~~~"
Su Han: "......"

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
