"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.

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.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
