The Ancient Martial Arts Chen Family.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening sound echoed as the wooden plaque of the Chen family was split in half!
The character "Chen" was cleaved into two!
Standing in front of the Chen Family Village was a hunched old man with white hair, looking as if he was on the verge of attending his own funeral.
"Who is it?"
"Who dares to barge into our Chen Family Village?"
Soon, the pillars of the Chen family, Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong, rushed out, their bodies radiating terrifying internal energy, their demeanor arrogant.
But upon seeing the old man, their expressions changed drastically.
All their imposing aura vanished.
"Grand... Grandmaster?"
As experts of the Hua Jin level, they naturally had sharp eyes. Anyone daring to enter the Chen Family Village alone had to be a formidable figure, especially with the old man's internal energy almost materializing into a terrifying protective barrier.
Undoubtedly, a Grandmaster!
Why would a Grandmaster come to the Chen Family Village? And judging by his demeanor, he seemed hostile.
"Grandmaster, why have you come to our Chen Family Village?"
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong immediately wilted. They briefly considered waking their family head from his secluded cultivation, but quickly dismissed the thought. Facing a Grandmaster, possibly even a peak Grandmaster, even if their family head had reached the Grandmaster level, it would be futile!
Jiang Shoulu's expression remained cold. "Your Chen family has quite the audacity, daring to lay hands on someone from the Jiang family!"
This statement left Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong utterly baffled. They exchanged glances. What did this mean?
Had they overindulged last night, leading to mental confusion?
The Jiang family?
The Jiang family they knew? The top-tier family in the ancient martial arts world of Dragon Country, with a Heavenly Jin Grandmaster overseeing them—the Jiang family of the capital?
How could this be?
"Ahem... So it's the Grandmaster from the capital's Jiang family! May we ask what our Chen family has done to offend you?"
"Grandmaster, could there be a misunderstanding? Our Chen Family Village has always been law-abiding..."
"Do you know Chen Ningshuang?" The old man's words instantly silenced Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong.
"Ningshuang... has she offended your Jiang family?"
Jiang Shoulu nodded. "Chen Ningshuang injured the grandson of our family head. You should know who our family head is, right?"
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong's hearts sank.
They were utterly doomed!
The current head of the Jiang family—Jiang Yunhuang, a Heavenly Jin Grandmaster, the top martial artist in the first and only martial arts tournament, and the director of the Dragon Country Ancient Martial Arts Administration!
Injuring his grandson... this wasn't just touching a tiger's tail.
This was pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth—a death wish!
Chen Ningshuang, oh Chen Ningshuang, you've outdone even your brother! Did you think your Hua Jin cultivation gave you the right to act recklessly?
Now you've provoked the Jiang family, a behemoth... the entire Chen family might be doomed!
"Grand... Grandmaster, is there any chance for reconciliation?" Chen Daoguan asked, his voice trembling.
If reconciliation was impossible, he would change his name on the spot, abandoning the Chen family and taking his mother's surname, becoming Ai Daoguan!
Chen Shouchong's eyes darted around; a true man knew when to bend.
Jiang Shoulu didn't rush to respond. With his peak Grandmaster strength, annihilating the Chen Family Village would take mere minutes.
If this were decades ago, he would have slaughtered the village without hesitation. But now, in a society governed by law, and with the family head being the director of the Ancient Martial Arts Administration...
"Based on the young master's condition, if anything happens to him... no one in the Chen Family Village will escape. I'll stay here for the next few days."
Chen Daoguan and Chen Shouchong: "......"
All they could do now was pray that the mysterious young master didn't suffer any serious harm, or else... they were doomed!
...
"Wuwuwu... Jiang Che, big brother!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Che had been hospitalized after being attacked, Qin Qiaoqiao skipped class and rushed over.
The girl's heart and eyes were filled with Jiang Che; she was utterly smitten with him.
In the hospital room, Jiang Yuan tugged at Jiang Yunli's sleeve. "Wife, we should go!"
But Jiang Yunli had no intention of leaving. She crossed her arms, lifting her ample bosom, a figure straight out of a Korean webtoon, her stunning physique on full display.
Jiang Yuan sighed and decided to step out for a smoke.
"Hmph... why are you crying? I'm not hurt!"
Honestly, facing a girl who adored him so much, who cried for him... Jiang Che couldn't remain indifferent.
"You're lying! I heard you were attacked by a powerful ancient martial artist."
Qin Qiaoqiao lifted her head from Jiang Che's chest, her eyes brimming with tears.
Jiang Che didn't explain further, simply gently patting her head.
Soon, Qiangwei and Dong'er arrived. Qiangwei also threw herself into Jiang Che's arms, while Dong'er sat quietly by the bed.
This scene left Jiang Yunli utterly stunned.
When did these two girls appear???
She didn't recognize Qiangwei and Dong'er at all!
She was still stuck in the old version with Yu Wan'er, Qin Qiaoqiao, and Ye Mengyao, unaware that Jiang Che had already upgraded multiple times.
But then... Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao also walked into the room.
The once-spacious hospital room suddenly felt crowded.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."
Jiang Yunli counted with a trembling voice. Wait! Don't forget Wang Yanran, who was engaged—that made six!
This was absolutely insane!!!
But amidst her shock, Jiang Yunli began to feel a sense of anticipation. More girls meant more grandchildren for her. She had been feeling the pressure lately, as some of her close friends had already become grandparents.
Sometimes, women's inexplicable competitive spirit just worked that way.
However... Jiang Yunli had missed one person!
"Jiang Che! Jiang Che, what happened?"
Gu Lingfei rushed into the room in a panic. She had been in the middle of a company meeting when she abruptly left to come here.
Though she often complained about Jiang Che's playboy tendencies, deep down, she doted on her godbrother.
And so, the hospital room became a picturesque scene.
Lolis, young girls, and mature women—all were present.
Jiang Che could only sigh helplessly.
"Damn, I'm surrounded by beauties?"
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!
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. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
