Jiang Che looked at Su Han's corpse, his mouth gradually twisting into a smirk.
Su Han's death was worth it—so many items dropped!
This also made him realize something: his system wasn't just limited to triggering choices.
After killing a "Child of Destiny," there would be a massive wave of rewards.
The rewards would be determined based on the evaluation score and the level of the Child of Destiny.
The more miserable the Child of Destiny was made by him, the higher the reward score, and the better the items obtained.
"Heh... So I really am the big villain, huh?"
Jiang Che let out a helpless sigh.
Though it sounded somewhat unscrupulous, for the sake of rewards...
So, Children of Destiny, brace yourselves!
I'm coming for you!
...
[Portable Peak-Level Martial Arts Puppet: A puppet that can be carried around, possessing the cultivation level of a Grandmaster at its peak. It is usually stored in a puppet ring.]
With a wave of his hand, a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared before Jiang Che, exuding a faint aura of killing intent.
A peak-level Grandmaster's cultivation was among the top-tier experts in the entire martial arts world of Dragon Country.
If no Supreme Grandmasters intervened, a Grandmaster was practically invincible.
This was perfect—no need to worry about some blind old monsters coming after him!
With a thought, Jiang Che stored the puppet back into the puppet ring.
It was like having a personal bodyguard, incredibly convenient, ready to use at any time!
As for Dong'er, that adorable little loli puppet, she was more of an exception. After all, you can't just keep giving away wives, right?
[Life-Extending Pills (a bottle): Contains 20 pills, each extending life by 10 years. Can be used infinitely.]
This was definitely a treasure. If used infinitely, wouldn't that mean... immortality?
This was eternal life!
Sure, being poor and immortal would be miserable, but what if you were rich and powerful?
Surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, with no worries about lifespan—who could resist that? Building an immortal family... didn't seem so far-fetched.
Of course, there was also the final reward: [Epic Treasure Chest].
It was time for another blind box opening.
Treasure chests had strict rankings: [Fine, Excellent, Epic, Legendary, Peerless, Supreme].
"What are we waiting for? Open it!"
A burst of light erupted!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 'SSS-Level Chef Skill'.]
"Uh..."
Jiang Che's mouth twitched slightly. He thought he'd gotten something amazing, but it turned out to be a cooking skill?
Well, better than nothing.
After all, there were plenty of Children of Destiny out there—the leeks would never run out.
...
Jiang Che waved his hand, storing Su Han's corpse into his jade pendant space.
He then tidied up the scene.
With his status, even if he killed someone, it wouldn't cause too much trouble. But still, better safe than sorry!
After dealing with Su Han, Jiang Che walked out.
Once in the car, Bai Qiangwei, who had been waiting for a while, immediately clung to him.
"Jiang Che... I... I..."
The young girl was clearly not in a good mood, burying her face in Jiang Che's chest and inhaling his scent deeply. For her, Jiang Che was the only source of security now.
"It's okay. From now on, just stay with me in Dragon Country. Let the past be the past," Jiang Che said, patting her shoulder before gently kissing her forehead.
......
Evening.
Jiang Che realized the benefits of the SSS-Level Chef Skill.
They say that to conquer a girl, you must first conquer her stomach.
As a culinary god, Jiang Che whipped up four dishes and a soup!
The aroma made Yu Wan'er drool uncontrollably.
"Jiang... Jiang Che, did you really make this?"
The little loli sat on Jiang Che's lap, staring at the mouthwatering dishes on the table, her stomach growling.
She was shocked. Since when did Jiang Che know how to cook?
And... his skills were this exceptional?
Just the smell alone filled her with immense happiness.
"Heh... If I didn't make it, did you?"
"You—"
Yu Wan'er bristled, but just as she was about to get angry—
"Gurgle—"
The sound of her hungry stomach echoed, and her face turned bright red. She covered her belly with her small hands, glaring at Jiang Che.
"Hmph! Even if it smells good, it might not taste good!"
The tsundere Yu Wan'er turned her head away, pouting.
Jiang Che didn't say anything.
"Remember what you said! Once we finish eating... don't come crying for a bite."
"Hmph! I'll just eat chips tonight. I'd rather starve to death, jump off a building... than eat a single bite of your food!"
"You pervert, let me go! I'm not eating!"
Yu Wan'er kicked her short legs, trying to escape. This place was dangerous—if she stayed too long, she might really give in to hunger...
She hated being hungry. The feeling was terrifying. If she got too hungry, she might end up begging Jiang Che for food!
"Heh..."
Jiang Che ignored her protests, holding her firmly as he began to eat.
"Wow... this is so good!"
Bai Qiangwei picked up a piece of stir-fried beef with scallions and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes widened in amazement.
The moment it touched her tongue, the flavor exploded, bringing an overwhelming sense of happiness. This wasn't just physical satisfaction—it was psychological bliss.
"Jiang Che, you should try it too. It's amazing!"
Bai Qiangwei picked up another piece and fed it to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che nodded. The SSS-Level Chef Skill really had its perks—it was practically a cheat code for wooing women.
Plus, with so many women around him, having god-tier cooking skills meant he could cook for them often.
Though he was a villain, he wasn't heartless. They were his women, after all... he had to spoil them a little.
"So delicious," Jiang Che said, licking his lips after finishing the bite.
"Gurgle—" Yu Wan'er's stomach growled again, and drool dripped from the corner of her mouth.
"Let me go, you jerk! You're doing this on purpose!"
Yu Wan'er couldn't help but lick her lips, tasting the lingering flavor of the food. She... was even hungrier now!
Dong'er, on the other hand, stayed silent, quietly devouring the food. Her appetite was enormous, her stomach like a bottomless pit—reminiscent of a certain Saber.
[Nooo, save some for me! Jiang Che, you bully, taking advantage of me while Sister Yao isn't here! Wuwuwu—]
[Stupid jerk, your delicious food won't work on me! I'm so hungry!]
Poor Yu Wan'er was on the verge of tears.
Jiang Che glanced down at her. Tsundere to the core... so adorable!
He picked up a piece of lamb and brought it to her lips.
"Hmph, I won't eat it!"
Yu Wan'er's tsundere side flared up again.
"Heh... You little glutton, sure you won't eat? Tsunderes ruin their own lives, you know."
Little glutton...
The familiar nickname made Yu Wan'er's face flush. She glared at Jiang Che but, true to her tsundere nature, still opened her mouth and took a bite.
[You're the little glutton! You're the little glutton! You pervert!]
But as soon as the lamb entered her mouth, Yu Wan'er froze.
This flavor... was way too good!
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.
