After leaving the company, Gu Lingfei couldn't bring herself to look at Jiang Che.
[That brat Jiang Che, where on earth did you learn how to massage like that?!]
[But it really did feel good, my shoulders feel so much better now.]
And so... it wasn't until dinner time that Gu Lingfei finally managed to calm her emotions.
Just as she was about to sit down at the dining table, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
She had been fed a mouthful of "dog food" ever since she returned to Dragon Country from overseas. Her weight hadn't increased much, but she sure had been stuffed with "dog food."
When Yu Wan'er saw Gu Lingfei arrive, she gave Jiang Che a meaningful look and pinched his waist lightly.
(o(*_*)o)
"Fei Fei, Wan'er and I are already full."
"Sis, you seem like you have something on your mind. Do you want to talk about it?"
"Ahem... Che, I think I need to have a private conversation with you."
Gu Lingfei glanced at Yu Wan'er. Clearly... there were some things that Yu Wan'er shouldn't hear.
[Yu Wan'er: (σ｀д′)σ] Struggling desperately...
"Fei Fei, is there something Wan'er can't listen to?"
Jiang Che chuckled lightly and spoke softly.
Gu Lingfei's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
In the end, all her thoughts condensed into a single sentence.
"Che, I haven't been sleeping well at the Jiang residence. I'm thinking of moving to the company..."
It was obvious that Gu Lingfei was trying to escape.
Not only was she unable to sleep at the Jiang residence, but her feelings for Jiang Che were also starting to change. She needed to nip this in the bud before it went any further.
"Fei Fei, that won't do... If my mom finds out I've been a poor host, she'll definitely scold me. You care about me so much... surely you don't want to see me get scolded by my mom, right?"
Gu Lingfei: "......"
The usually cold and aloof CEO, a woman who dominated the business world and never showed mercy to her enemies, was a highly rational person.
But after meeting Jiang Che, all her rationality and decisiveness had turned to bubbles.
"Goodnight, my dear sworn sister."
He knew very well what Gu Lingfei's feelings for him were!
Which meant that as long as he was alive, Su Han had absolutely no chance of moving up in the ranks. This so-called "Iron-Blooded Wolf King" was destined to never win Gu Lingfei's heart from the very beginning.
......
After getting off work, Su Han went straight to the supermarket.
He bought a bunch of men's cosmetics and some disgustingly flashy clothes, then fled back to his rented apartment like a fugitive.
"Damn it! Do I really have to wear this kind of stuff? Me, the Iron-Blooded Wolf King, reduced to dressing like a sissy?"
Su Han instinctively resisted. Wearing these clothes was no different from cross-dressing for him.
"For Fei Fei, I'll endure it!"
Gritting his teeth, Su Han started putting on the new clothes.
"Hmph... even in this sissy outfit, my heroic aura can't be hidden!"
Su Han looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a pink and white jacket with a pair of white bunny ears on his head, but his eyes were as sharp as ever, as if he could kill with a single glance.
It was like... a two-meter-tall, burly man with a belly full of black hair cosplaying as a dainty anime loli and calling you "Onii-chan" in a cutesy voice. It was a sight to behold.
"Oh right, I have to do makeup too... damn it all!"
Su Han started studying makeup techniques, staying up all night!
......
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the Villain's Choice. Rewards obtained: Substitute Doll, Mind Control, and a Transform Force Grandmaster Puppet.]
Jiang Che was mentally and physically exhausted as he began sorting through his rewards.
Yu Wan'er had just come down with a fever again, curled up in bed, her body slightly warm like a little furnace, her spirit low, and even her ahoge had drooped.
This girl's constitution was weak. Whenever her period came, she'd get stomachaches and fevers, leaving Jiang Che at a loss. He had spent most of the night trying to soothe her to sleep.
Naturally, he wasn't in the mood for anything else. It seemed he would have to use the system to help Yu Wan'er improve her strength in the future.
Not just Yu Wan'er, but all his other women needed to get stronger too!
...
[Substitute Doll: Can take the place of the host to withstand three fatal attacks. After activation, it will immediately teleport the host back to the 'Teleportation Anchor,' which can be set in advance. Distance is irrelevant.]
[Mind Control: Can forcibly control someone with a cultivation level below Gang Force. There is a certain probability of failure when attempting to control a Son of Destiny.]
The three rewards from this Villain's Choice were all quite practical.
Especially the Substitute Doll, which could block three fatal attacks and allowed for setting a teleportation anchor. This was very user-friendly, essentially giving him three extra lives.
As for Mind Control? Jiang Che already had someone in mind... There was no way he'd use it on a Son of Destiny.
A chance of failure = zero chance.
Anyone who's ever played gacha games knows this. Let's just say there's a certain three-letter game that comes to mind.
Finally, the 'Transform Force Grandmaster Puppet' was decent. Jiang Che didn't need it for himself since he was already at the Transform Force level.
So he decided to give it to Gu Lingfei. After all, with Su Han tailing her, it was necessary to take precautions!
The system was also very considerate, having already arranged the puppet's background and identity.
And it was female, which was a nice touch!
"Mmm... Jiang Che, you big jerk, I'll bite you to death!"
"You always bully me... I'll kick you, you pervert!"
Jiang Che: "......"
Even in her sleep, Yu Wan'er was venting her frustrations at Jiang Che, her little legs kicking wildly.
Alright, alright, as soon as the system gave out rewards, he'd make Yu Wan'er a martial artist first thing.
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.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
