"Big brother-in-law, goodbye! Work hard here, and if you do well... I might promote you to security captain," Jiang Che couldn't resist mocking Chen Hao as he left.
With one arm wrapped around Chen Ningshuang's slender waist and the other waving goodbye to Chen Hao, Jiang Che's actions were dripping with exaggerated sentiment.
Chen Hao's forehead veins bulged in frustration.
"Boss, we welcome you to visit again!"
Leng Ningqiu's delicate hand brushed lightly over Jiang Che's arm, carrying a hint of flirtation that made Jiang Che's temper flare.
Who could resist the teasing of a cold, aloof beauty wearing half-rimmed gold glasses?
Jiang Che pondered for a moment, then glanced at Chen Hao by the entrance.
Sigh... Although these girls are all puppets of my system, they are still weak and defenseless women.
Moreover, these girls are constantly making money for me, so... their safety must be ensured.
But this was no trouble for Jiang Che!
Soon, a middle-aged man in black stepped out of Jiang Che's car. Wearing sunglasses, his imposing presence was terrifying, and his demeanor clearly conveyed three words:
I am strong!
This man was naturally the super puppet gifted to Jiang Che by his system—a puppet with the cultivation level of a Grandmaster at the peak of perfection.
As expected, the puppet's appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.
"Boss!"
The puppet walked up to Jiang Che, slightly bowing, appearing extremely humble.
The most shocked were Chen Ningshuang and Chen Hao!
This puppet made no effort to conceal its cultivation level!
While the pressure was merely uncomfortable for others, for them... it was enough to crush them.
"Grandmaster... at the peak of perfection?"
Chen Hao's eyes widened, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
A Grandmaster at the peak of perfection in martial arts... bowing to Jiang Che?
Jiang Che patted the puppet's shoulder and pointed in Chen Hao's direction.
"Jiang Yi, from now on, you'll be in charge of security at Qiangsheng Group. Stay with my brother-in-law... and protect Ningqiu and the others."
Jiang Yi nodded, "Understood, Boss."
With that, he began walking step by step toward Chen Hao.
Chen Hao: !!!
Don't come over here~ Please, no!
Although Jiang Yi had restrained his aura, the terrifying pressure they had felt earlier was unmistakably that of a Grandmaster at the peak of perfection.
Chen Hao looked up at the towering black-clad figure now standing before him, his legs turning to jelly.
If not for the last shred of dignity as the chosen one of fate... he would have already collapsed to the ground.
"Hello!" Jiang Yi extended a large hand, offering to shake Chen Hao's.
"Y-you... hello!" Chen Hao extended his hand, his face filled with fear.
Under normal circumstances, having a Grandmaster at the peak of perfection offer to shake his hand would be something he could boast about for half his life.
But now... all he felt was terror!
As soon as they shook hands, Chen Hao's legs gave out completely, and he collapsed to the ground. Jiang Yi, ever considerate, helped him up.
This sense of security did not comfort Chen Hao; instead, he felt like he was about to pass out.
Jiang Che, meanwhile, chuckled and patted Chen Ningshuang's shoulder. "See, your brother has a new colleague. They're getting along so well!"
Chen Hao: "......"
Chen Ningshuang: "......"
Chen Ningshuang wasn't sure how she ended up back in Jiang Che's car, but she felt a chill run through her entire body.
She had severely underestimated the power of the Jiang family!
She never imagined that the Jiang family would assign a Grandmaster at the peak of perfection to be Jiang Che's bodyguard.
In Dragon Country's martial arts world, Grandmasters at the peak of perfection were as rare as phoenix feathers. Any martial arts family with such a figure was considered a top-tier family.
How could such a powerhouse serve as a bodyguard for a playboy?
Just how terrifying was the true strength of the Jiang family?
She dared not imagine it. Was there still any hope for her to escape this nightmare?
Her vision darkened, and her future seemed bleak.
"What's wrong, Ningshuang? Scared? If you obediently become my woman... I might be in a good mood and allocate some cultivation resources to you. Becoming a Grandmaster in three to five years isn't just a dream!"
"Give up! I would rather die than fall in love with you!"
"Haha, you never know! Haven't you heard that familiarity breeds affection?"
Chen Ningshuang, being pure-hearted, didn't understand Jiang Che's innuendo.
"Even if I serve you as a maid for ten years, I would never fall for you!"
"What? You're going to be my maid for ten years?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.
Chen Ningshuang: "......"
Jiang Che laughed at Chen Ningshuang's flustered reaction.
He would never resort to force with Chen Ningshuang—that was far too lowbrow for him.
Rapists were the lowest of the low, even in prison.
...
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing Choice 1 and Choice 2.]
[Rewards obtained: Dual Cultivation Technique, 10 years of internal energy.]
Jiang Che decided not to use the 10 years of internal energy immediately. If he did, he would likely break through to the late stage or even the peak of Transform Force.
If that happened, he wouldn't be able to hide his cultivation level anymore.
What if Chen Ningshuang discovered he was a genius and, driven by admiration, started fawning over him? That would cut the fun in half.
As for the Dual Cultivation Technique, it was quite impressive.
[Dual Cultivation Technique]
[A top-tier dual cultivation technique. When used, it subtly enhances the physique and cultivation aptitude of both parties, offering a marrow-cleansing effect.]
"Hmm... Strengthening the physique sounds good. I'll try it with Yu Wan'er when I get back."
Whenever Jiang Che obtained something good, Yu Wan'er was always the first person he thought of.
After all, Yu Wan'er was petite, barely reaching five feet tall, with a frail constitution. She would get stomachaches during her period and catch a fever from the slightest chill.
This was unacceptable!
For Yu Wan'er's sake—and his own—he had to drastically improve her physical condition.
...
Meanwhile, at school.
"Achoo—"
Yu Wan'er, who had been focused on her homework, suddenly sneezed. She sniffled slightly, her delicate brows furrowing.
"Who's thinking about me?"
"It must be that jerk Jiang Che, the perverted freak! He's always thinking of ways to bully me!"
The little loli gritted her teeth, her hatred for Jiang Che burning fiercely.
She was growing tired of this miserable life.
But on the other hand, she was drawn to Jiang Che's gentleness and his cooking. In all her years, only Ye Mengyao and Jiang Che had truly touched her heart.
It was as if two little people were constantly arguing in her head.
"You jerk, with your wandering eyes!"
Yu Wan'er angrily stabbed a piece of eraser with her pen, venting her frustrations.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
