What skipping classes and not doing homework I'm out there making my mark

Jiang Che's every move seemed to add another unfortunate old man to the world.

As everyone knows, smiles never disappear; they merely shift from one person's face to another's.

Jiang Che was in high spirits right now.

Lying under the umbrella by his private pool, sipping imported juice, and watching the girls splash around in the water, the feeling was simply indescribable.

With the weather in late April and early May, although summer hadn't officially arrived, the temperature in the south was already quite hot. Girls on the streets had started wearing short sleeves and black stockings.

"Tsk tsk... never thought the family pool could actually come in handy," Jiang Che said with a slight rise of his lips.

For a mansion of the Jiang family's caliber, with its own standalone luxury villa and a spacious private pool, situated in the most prime location of Hangcheng, where land prices were astronomical, the cost of just this one villa started at least two billion yuan!

But a mere few billion was barely a blip on the Jiang family's radar.

"Wan'er, that's not how you swim. What you're doing is called dog paddling!"

Jiang Che noticed Yu Wan'er floundering in the pool. The loli had everything going for her... except her height, which was a major drawback.

A depth of four to five feet was shallow for Ye Mengyao and Bai Qiangwei, allowing them to play and splash easily, but for Yu Wan'er, it was deep water. She could barely keep her head above the surface, almost making Jiang Che laugh out loud.

Yu Wan'er: "(ノ｀Д)ノ"

Fuming with anger!

Swimming had turned into a source of mockery; when would lolis ever stand up for themselves?

"Jiang Che, it's all your fault for coming up with this terrible idea. Swimming? Pfft! What a joke!"

"You just wanted to see me embarrassing myself! You vile, lousy rascal!"

A cute duck-shaped swimwear paired with an otherwise average figure, but it only amplified Yu Wan'er's cuteness. Even her angry outbursts were adorable.

"Alright, Wan'er, don't be upset,"

Ye Mengyao stepped in as the caring sister, picking Yu Wan'er out of the water and fitting her with a duck floatie, restoring a bit of her dignity.

Yu Wan'er glared fiercely at Jiang Che before swimming over to Dong'er.

In this materialistic pool setting, only lolis understood each other without judgment.

After all, their figures just couldn't compare!

Take a look at Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao; although their bodies weren't top-tier, they weren't bad either! In their swimsuits, they exuded a youthful charm, brimming with the essence of budding youth.

Comparing people can truly make one die of envy, while comparing things just makes you want to throw out those inferior ones!

【It's all your fault! You lousy Jiang Che! If you hadn't made me drink that so-called elixir of youth, I would definitely have gone through secondary development by now!】

【You perverted loli-lover, just to satisfy your disgusting fetish, you wouldn't let me grow taller!】

Jiang Che glanced at Yu Wan'er. This little brat was truly a headache, never learning her lesson... Every time he punished her, she'd forget all about it afterward.

She was really a crude rooster who took advantage and then pretended to be pitiful. How many people longed for such an elixir but couldn't obtain it... and here she was, complaining about it?

"Dong'er, let's unite and resist Jiang Che, the big bad guy. He's a pervert..."

Yu Wan'er grabbed Dong'er's little hand, trying to sway her.

Dong'er floated on the water surface, her internal energy keeping her afloat.

Su Mianmian lay on her little belly, looking somewhat strangely adorable.

Dong'er tilted her head, glanced at Yu Wan'er... then her internal energy surged, and she drifted away...

Yu Wan'er was so embarrassed that she could almost dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

"Shuang'er, bring me two grapes,"

Ahem... seriously, grapes!

Jiang Che immediately began ordering Chen Ningshuang.

Chen Ningshuang still wore a hanfu, barefoot to avoid wetting her shoes. Her perfect, exquisite feet, with droplets of water glistening on her white skin, were so mesmerizing that one would desperately want to wipe off the water droplets with a tissue and then closely examine them in the palm of their hand.

"Here——"

Chen Ningshuang grudgingly handed a plate of grapes to Jiang Che.

"I want you to feed me."

"Open up!" Chen Ningshuang's temper had improved compared to before. Previously, she'd at least curse in her heart, but now, the young lady didn't bother... because it was futile.

"I want imported grapes!"

Jiang Che put on a cheeky demeanor.

Chen Ningshuang: "......"

She really wanted to tear that rascal's face apart!

【You good-for-nothing, just you wait! My cultivation has already broken through to the late stage of Primary Embryo, sooner or later, I'll subdue you and trample you underfoot!】

Jiang Che glanced at Chen Ningshuang's tender, white feet. Now that I think about it... being trampled underfoot by her doesn't seem that bad, does it? Reward me... why should I refuse?

"What? Are you angry, Shuang'er? Being ordered around by someone you look down upon?"

Jiang Che smirked.

Chen Ningshuang quickly lowered her head, "I dare not——"

"Want to turn the tables? Seems you're out of luck!"

And with that, Jiang Che shifted his gaze to Dong'er, the expression on his face saying it all.

Upon seeing Dong'er, the vigor Chen Ningshuang had managed to muster... instantly vanished without a trace.

With Dong'er around, her chances of ever rising above were slim to none. The gap between them would only grow wider in the future!

A martial arts master at such a young age—this insurmountable chasm... filled her with despair.

......

Of course, those under Dong'er's pressure weren't just Chen Ningshuang.

Jiang Che's younger brother was also feeling the squeeze.

"Son, are you sure? You want to venture out there? At your age, it's a bit too early, isn't it? Your grandfather definitely won't approve,"

Jiang Yunwu stood before a handsome young boy, speaking with a stern face.

Jiang Ruoxu shook his head, his gaze firm.

"Father, I've already reached the late stage of the Primary Embryo, capable of self-defense. I need to step out and forge my own martial path."

Indeed, since Jiang Ruoxu had consumed the Essence Refining Pill given by Jiang Che during his last visit to the capital's Jiang household, he had been reborn. In just a month, his cultivation had skyrocketed to the late stage of the Primary Embryo.

But his goal had always been the young girl by his elder brother's side!

That silver-haired figure; it wasn't that Dong'er was exceptionally beautiful, it was mainly because he had face blindness and couldn't recall what she looked like, only that she had silver hair.

A girl who appeared to be even younger than himself, yet her cultivation had reached the rank of a master?

It had shocked even his master.

For an extremely proud person like Jiang Ruoxu, it was unbearable to have someone more talented. It made him feel average by comparison.

Over the past month, he had nearly trained to madness, neglecting sleep and food. The place he was bound for... was reputed as the forbidden zone of ancient martial arts in China!

Hidden deep within the Kunlun Mountains... danger came with opportunities. Only through relentless trials could one forge his unique martial path!

Jiang Yunwu looked at his son with resignation.

"By the way, son, have you finished your homework? I remember you still have several assignments from your third year of middle school that haven't been done yet. Your teacher called me yesterday asking about it!"

Jiang Ruoxu: "......"

I'm about to venture out into the world, yet you ask me if I've finished my homework?

While it was true that one of the reasons he wanted to leave was to avoid these assignments, that wasn't the main one, okay?

He was out to become stronger! To carve his invincible martial path! Certainly not just to skip class and shirk homework!
