Weekends were dull and monotonous for Jiang Che.
“Jiang Che! Jiang Che! Wake up! The results are out!”
Ye Mengyao tugged at Jiang Che’s arm excitedly, forcing him awake.
“You little brat, asking for a beating, aren’t you?”
Jiang Che casually slapped Ye Mengyao.
“Ow~~~”
Ye Mengyao let out a soft whimper, her eyes slightly reddened, as if holding back tears, looking pitiful and delicate.
Jiang Che’s strength was no joke. After all, as a master of Transform Force, even without using internal energy, a slap from him was something a young girl like Ye Mengyao couldn’t handle.
Jiang Che sighed. Although Ye Mengyao had been playing hard to get before, she was now his woman, and he had to spoil her.
Ye Mengyao had been a rich young lady all her life—when had she ever been slapped by anyone?
“Alright, alright, stop crying,” Jiang Che said.
Ye Mengyao bit her thin lips. Though it hurt, her heart felt warm.
Since that birthday party, she could clearly sense the change in Jiang Che’s attitude toward her. The only problem was that he was a bit of a playboy.
Sometimes Ye Mengyao regretted it. If she hadn’t been so aloof before, maybe Jiang Che would belong to her alone. But now... there were more and more girls around him.
“Jiang Che! The results are out! Do you know how many points you scored?”
Once the pain subsided, Ye Mengyao remembered the main issue and quickly pulled out her phone.
Jiang Che merely glanced at her indifferently.
Of course, he knew his own results. This time, he hadn’t held back at all during the joint exam—he had gone all out.
With the help of the *Complete Knowledge and Skills* system, even a pig could have scored incredibly high. It really was as the saying goes... “I could do it too.”
His score was probably no lower than 740!
Mentioning the results, Ye Mengyao got excited again, brushing the messy strands of hair away from her forehead.
Her figure was subtly revealed, and the youthful aura unique to a young girl filled the air.
“Do you know? You scored 745 points! The school group chat is going crazy!”
Ye Mengyao shook Jiang Che’s arm with one hand.
“Except for the Chinese reading comprehension, where you lost 3 points, and the essay, where you lost 2 points, scoring 145, you got full marks in every other subject!”
“Calm down. It’s my score, not yours,” Jiang Che said coolly.
Ye Mengyao bit her lip, thinking about her past self... How ridiculous she had been to reject Jiang Che’s confession back then, using his poor grades as an excuse.
Now, Jiang Che’s grades far surpassed hers, and she had become the clown in this story.
“Jiang Che... back when I rejected you, I called you a slacker. You must’ve thought I was a clown, right?”
Ye Mengyao lowered her head.
Jiang Che smirked. “Indeed, at that time, you were nothing but a clown in my eyes.”
Ye Mengyao: “......”
Well, there goes my dignity!
Meanwhile, Yu Wan’er had also woken up. In truth, she had been awake for a while, but the bed was just too cozy. Of course... there was another reason—she didn’t dare to be the first one to get up.
She understood the principle of “the early bird gets the worm.”
“Hmph, I finally figured it out. You’ve been pretending all along, disguising yourself as a slacker!”
Yu Wan’er was still her usual bratty self.
Neither Ye Mengyao nor Qin Qiaoqiao said much. After all, they had both tutored Jiang Che before and knew he had been holding back. But they never expected... his grades would be this terrifying?
...............................
Jiang Che calmly got out of bed. “Ningshuang, help me get dressed.”
He had grown accustomed to ordering Chen Ningshuang around.
Soon, Chen Ningshuang entered the bedroom.
She had spent the entire night standing guard outside the door. As she walked in, her eyes darted around nervously.
*[You scoundrel! You’ll get your comeuppance someday.]*
At the same time, she spotted the girl she had been looking for.
Dong’er!
Sure enough, she felt an overwhelming aura of power emanating from Dong’er.
Of course, “overwhelming” was only relative to her. Jiang Che, on the other hand, could easily gauge Dong’er’s cultivation level—ahem, her strength!
“A grandmaster?”
For a moment, Chen Ningshuang’s breathing became heavy. This girl had actually reached the level of a grandmaster?
“What? Never seen a grandmaster before? Oh, right... your Chen Village never had one!”
Jiang Che teased.
*[Wait, how could Dong’er suddenly become a grandmaster? This makes no sense! I’ve checked her bone structure before. Although it’s slightly better than mine, there’s no way she could reach grandmaster level at such a young age!]*
Chen Ningshuang even began to doubt herself.
“Hehe... want to know how Dong’er became a grandmaster? I’ll tell you a secret... I helped her!”
Jiang Che flashed a mischievous smile.
Chen Ningshuang narrowed her eyes. “You? A good-for-nothing... I mean, an ordinary person, helping someone become a grandmaster? Who would believe such nonsense?”
Jiang Che simply shrugged, walked over to the bed, and picked up Dong’er with one hand. The little girl was light, probably weighing only around 70 pounds. To Jiang Che, she felt as light as a feather.
“Dong’er, tell her how you became a grandmaster!”
Dong’er was very obedient. She blinked twice, then looked at Chen Ningshuang and spoke seriously.
“Master used a secret technique to enhance my bone structure and internal energy. That’s how I became a grandmaster.”
It was the longest sentence Dong’er had ever spoken.
Chen Ningshuang: “......”
What the hell kind of secret technique is this? Enhancing someone’s bone structure? Although the Chen family of ancient martial arts wasn’t as powerful as the Jiang family, they were still one of the top ancient martial arts families in history.
One of the founding families of Tai Chi, their ancestors had produced top-tier grandmasters, and their family had many ancient texts. It was just that they had declined over time.
Chen Ningshuang had read many of these ancient texts since childhood, but she had never heard of any technique that could enhance a person’s bone structure.
Bone structure was something you were born with. Improving it later in life was nearly impossible unless you stumbled upon some rare, heavenly treasures. Otherwise, forget about it!
*[You think I’m stupid? Enhancing bone structure? You scoundrel, you’re just finding new ways to mess with me!]*
Jiang Che chuckled. Well, you guessed right!
I’m indeed finding new ways to mess with you.
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.
