Jiang Che was not a man who enjoyed killing.
After all, Lin Yu no longer posed any threat to him; sparing him wouldn't hurt, right?
Truthfully, apart from his penchant for spouting nonsense and his constant refrain of "You have brought death upon yourself," Lin Yu hadn't actually done anything truly evil.
"Lin Yu really is the protagonist of the original novel, isn't he? So explosive! Much better than Su Han."
Jiang Che began to tally up the system rewards.
[Legendary Treasure Chest, Advanced Longevity Elixir, SSS-grade Traditional Chinese Medicine Skill]
The Legendary Treasure Chest didn't need much explanation.
Ordinary Chest, Fine Chest, Excellent Chest, Epic Chest, Legendary Chest, Peerless Chest, Supreme Chest.
Previously, after angering Su Han to death, an Epic Chest had spawned, from which he had received the SSS-grade Master Chef skill. Now, with a Legendary Chest, he was sure to get something even better.
As for the Advanced Longevity Elixir, it was a basic reward.
[Advanced Longevity Elixir: One pill adds thirty years to your life. A bottle contains 20 pills, with no diminishing returns and can be stacked.]
With the Advanced Longevity Elixir, this meant he directly gained an additional 600 years of life. Normally, items like Longevity Elixirs would have limitations; the first time might add 30 years, but subsequent uses would likely reduce the effect.
However, the system's Longevity Elixirs were ridiculously overpowered, allowing for infinite stacking. What was the difference between that and immortality?
Thinking about eternal life, Jiang Che couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. A life without money or power would be painful, but what if he could bring eternal lifevision to his entire family?
Next, he turned his gaze to the last reward.
The SSS-grade Traditional Chinese Medicine Skill was clearly Lin Yu's specialty, but now... this skill belonged to Jiang Che.
"Merge Skill!"
For skills, Jiang Che was always happy to accept them; after all, having more tricks up his sleeve never hurt!
Instantly, a wealth of knowledge about Traditional Chinese Medicine flooded Jiang Che's mind, including techniques for massage, acupuncture, concocting medicine, pulse diagnosis... He was now extremely proficient, even surpassing many seasoned TCM practitioners.
"Heh... I've become a little divine doctor now?"
Jiang Che shrugged, and at the same time, he understood why Lin Yu's medical skills were so terrifying, even capable of curing end-stage kidney failure!
Because the skills of a destined protagonist were simply overpowered; acupuncture enhanced with internal energy could basically cure any illness.
And with his new reward, Jiang Che naturally felt a bit itchy to try it out.
So... he turned his gaze to Yu Wan'er, who was sitting on the sofa munching on chips and watching TV, her two bare little feet swaying leisurely, looking very carefree.
On either side of Yu Wan'er sat Ye Mengyao and Bai Qiangwei.
"Come, come, let this old TCM practitioner take your pulse."
I'm an old TCM practitioner, here to cure the miserable!
Jiang Che curled his lips into a smile!
"Pervert! Haven't you had enough?"
Yu Wan'er threw the bag of chips in her hand directly at Jiang Che, but how could it hit him, given his advanced martial skill level?
"You... didn't you say you were going to take my pulse? Why are you touching my foot?"
Yu Wan'er kicked her little legs.
"You didn't know, did you? There are pulses on the feet too..."
Yu Wan'er: "......"
Ye Mengyao and Bai Qiangwei giggled, and the room was filled with laughter... and the adorable, childish scolding.
Jiang Che did indeed examine Yu Wan'er. She was short due to a congenital factor, and Jiang Che had initially thought it was due to malnutrition, but now it seemed Yu Weiwei had taken good care of this little loli.
This was just as well. If Yu Wan'er were any taller, she wouldn't have that certain charm.
At that moment, the door of the Jiang family mansion opened!
Gu Lingfei returned from work.
The woman glanced around the room, then turned her head away.
She had already become immune to this kind of scene.
"Sis Feifei, I got something good for you!"
Jiang Chuextracted a big treasure from his pocket!
Elixir of Eternal Youth!
Although Gu Lingfei wasn't yet his woman, it wouldn't be long before he won over this domineering older sister. Actually, Jiang Che wanted Gu Lingfei to take the initiative herself.
"Oh, Chu Chu, I don't need your things. Your Sis Feifei has seen it all!"
Jiang Churlipped, "Oh? Really? Have you seen something that can preserve eternal youth?"
Jiang Che's wordsleft Gu Lingfeicrepling, equally stunned was Chen Ningshuang, who was wiping the floor.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and the others weren't particularly shocked, as Jiang Che had already given them the elixir.
"Chu Chu, are you reading too many novels? What kind of thing can make one's youth eternal?"
Gu Lingfeiobviously... didn'tonsider believing!
But Jiang Che did not explain, merely taking out the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
He then presented it to Gu Lingfei, "Sis Feifei, you're so beautiful now. Your beauty should forever be preserved at this moment."
He even stretched out his hand, playfully brushing a strand of Gu Lingfei's hair.
Gu Lingfeireced two steps, her face instantly flushing red.
This haughty, icy CEO, in front of Jiang Che, seemed like a naive little girl.
And Jiang Che, seizing the opportunity, forcefully opened Gu Lingfei'smouth, feeding her the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
"How is it? Any sensations?"
The effect of the Elixir of Eternal Youth was immediately apparent; not only did it preserve eternal youth but also had beautifying effects.
"This... this..."
Gu Lingfei touched her face in disbelief. The feeling was strange; without explicitly saying it, she could clearly sense that her appearance had stopped aging!
Could it really preserve eternal youth?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Lingfei couldn't contain the joy in her heart.
She was 27 years old, in the prime of a woman's life, the most beautiful moment, like a ripe fruit on a tree waiting to be picked.
The love of beauty is a woman's nature, even the cool CEO Gu Lingfei was no exception.
"That's right, Sis Feifei, this is a treasure I got at great cost. It can preserve your looks at this moment forever. You can feel it, can't you?"
Jiang Che'swords completely flustered Gu Lingfei.
"But... what about them? Wan'er and Mengyao..."
"They've already used it. My women... I naturally ensure their eternal youth."
Jiang Chepointed at Ye Mengyao, Bai Qiangwei, and the others.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiangwei, and Bai Jie had all taken the Elixir of Eternal Youth.
"Y-you... why did you give this to me?" Gu Lingfeifelt her heart in disarray.
She accurately picked up on the key phrase... my woman...
Could it be that Chu Chu had designs on her?
But... but I'm your sister! Although we aren't blood-related...
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.

Ying Bing: "Can’t you let me win just once?" Li Mo: "First, call me 'husband' properly—I didn’t hear it clearly last time."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
