"Ahem, that's Gu Lingfei."
"My... foster sister!"
Jiang Che introduced her to Qiangwei.
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jiang Che didn't feel embarrassed at all—his skin was thick as a wall.
At that moment, Gu Lingfei was holding Dong'er in her arms.
Dong'er, tiny and soft, was absolutely adorable.
Though both Dong'er and Yu Wan'er were lolis, there were stark differences between them.
If we're talking purely about looks, Yu Wan'er was flawless, easily scoring a 95 out of 100.
Dong'er, being a puppet, was obedient and quiet, doing whatever she was told without a single word of protest. Her looks were at least a 90, but given that many Chinese people have a thing for white hair, her silver hair and purple eyes gave her a major boost.
In short, after all that... Jiang Che loved both Yu Wan'er and Dong'er!
"Oh~"
Bai Qiangwei nodded, finally understanding that Gu Lingfei was Jiang Che's foster sister.
That explained why Jiang Che had been targeting Su Han all this time. After all, no brother would want to see his sister being pursued by a mercenary, right?
Little Qiangwei had already started self-rationalizing, not even needing Jiang Che to explain—she had come up with the reason herself.
"Xiao Che, who is this girl?"
Gu Lingfei felt a headache coming on. It had only been seven or eight years since she last saw Jiang Che—what kind of strange traits had this little brother developed in that time?
"Master!"
At that moment, Dong'er, who was in Gu Lingfei's arms, struggled free and jumped down.
She ran over to Jiang Che.
Master?????
In an instant, Jiang Che felt several pairs of hostile eyes on him.
[Ye Mengyao: Master???]
[Yu Wan'er: I'm calling the police! Hello, officer? There's a big pervert here!]
Jiang Che's mouth twitched, and he patted Dong'er's head.
"Dong'er is a bodyguard my mom hired, a master of internal martial arts. She's stayed this height because of a special cultivation technique... she's actually already an adult."
Jiang Che wasn't lying. As a puppet, Dong'er didn't even have an age, but according to the system's background info, she was a 20-year-old legal loli.
......
In a rented apartment.
Su Han, disheveled and ragged, leaned against the headboard of his bed. The floor was littered with cigarette butts, and the place was a complete mess.
His current situation was eerily similar to Monkey's from a month ago.
Back then, Monkey had also lived in a rundown rental, the place a total disaster, with his only doll deflated.
Meanwhile, Su Han had once lived in a grand villa.
But now, the tables had turned!
The once-mighty Wolf King had fallen from grace. Not only had his martial arts been crippled, but he was also dirt poor. His old buddy Monkey, on the other hand, was now living in a luxurious villa, surrounded by AI girlfriends and butlers... thriving!
"Wait, Monkey! Monkey must have a solution. Worst case, I'll just rejoin the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps... and reclaim my title as the Wolf King!"
Even without his powerful ancient martial arts, his instincts from the battlefield still made him the fearsome Wolf King, Su Han!
With that thought, he called Monkey.
On the other end, Monkey was annoyed. "Who the hell is bothering me now?"
Young Master Jiang usually texted him, so whoever was calling must be someone else!
"Monkey, it's Su Han!"
Su Han was a bit angry when he heard Monkey cursing. How dare Monkey be so disrespectful?
From now on, Monkey wouldn't even get to eat cheap sausages!
When Monkey heard it was Su Han, a hint of disdain flashed in his heart. The Wolf King... had really fallen from grace!
If it weren't for Young Master Jiang, Monkey would have already unleashed a torrent of curses and rap lyrics straight into Su Han's face.
"Wolf King, I'm really busy right now, got a lot on my plate."
Su Han frowned. "What could you possibly be busy with?"
"Busy celebrating my girlfriend's birthday," Monkey replied honestly.
"Girlfriend? Wasn't your girlfriend a blow-up doll? Since when do blow-up dolls have birthdays?" Su Han was quite familiar with Monkey's past.
Monkey didn't respond, just glanced at the production date on the back of his AI girlfriend's neck.
His girlfriend... was one year old now!
"Wolf King, what do you need?" Monkey's tone was no longer respectful; in fact, he sounded almost resentful toward Su Han.
"I'm coming back. I'm going to rejoin the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps and reclaim my title as the Wolf King!"
Su Han said this with great passion and determination!
But Monkey's next words poured cold water all over his enthusiasm.
"Wolf King, after you left, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps disbanded."
Su Han's eyes widened in shock. "What? How could Wolf Fang disband? What about the Wolf Spirit? Why would they disband?"
Monkey was also getting angry. This idiot had already left, and now he wanted to come back and boss everyone around?
"Su Han! How dare you talk about the Wolf Spirit? Ever since you became the Wolf King, have the brothers ever had a single good day? $300 a month... who the hell would risk their lives for that?"
"And you... you abandoned Miss Qiangwei. She's the sister of the old Wolf King! Do you know what she went through after being kidnapped by those bandits? Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even care about anyone other than Gu Lingfei?"
"You're just a joke! What right do you have to talk about the Wolf Spirit? Can the Wolf Spirit put food on the table?"
"Always treating me to cheap sausages, screw that! You idiot!"
"Don't think I don't know your dirty secrets. You faked a few things to impersonate Gu Lingfei? Even knelt down and licked a woman's feet? I sent all those videos to the brothers in Wolf Fang..."
It was clear that Monkey had a lot of resentment toward Su Han.
Monkey's words left Su Han completely stunned. He felt regret, but more than that, he was furious!
Monkey dared to insult him? And he had been spying on his secrets, exposing everything?
Damn Monkey!
But now... there was nothing he could do about it.
Monkey, however, didn't give Su Han a chance to respond. After cursing him out, he felt a lot better.
He hung up the phone in a flash, cutting off Su Han's last hope.
"Haha, cursing him out and hanging up feels so damn good! That idiot Su Han, calling himself the Wolf King? More like a walking disaster!"
After a few more curses, Monkey went back to celebrating his girlfriend's first birthday.
"Oh, and I should let Young Master Jiang know. Did I cut ties with Su Han too early?"
Meanwhile, Su Han was so angry that he started smashing things in his room!
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!
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.
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.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
