To be honest, Su Mianmian really has some skills.
Throughout the entire piece, not a single note was played incorrectly.
Then, Su Mianmian sprawled out on the piano, lying there motionless, her tongue hanging out, with only her tail twitching occasionally. It looked like she was ready to attend her own funeral.
She was utterly exhausted. She used to think playing the piano was a pleasurable activity, but now... it’s pure torture!
Jiang Che chuckled and paused the video recording on his phone. He walked over to Su Mianmian and tossed her a crimson fruit.
“Meow—”
The previously lifeless Su Mianmian suddenly sprang back to life, biting into the fruit.
“If you behave, I have plenty of these good fruits. They should be enough to help you transform into human form.”
Su Mianmian’s heart trembled.
【Can... can I really turn into a human?】
Jiang Che scratched his nose, feeling a bit guilty. Of course... he was just making it up!
“Of course you can. This world isn’t as simple as you think. There are powerful ancient martial artists out there.”
Deceiving a young girl was his specialty. By casually revealing a bit of his formidable ancient martial arts skills, he completely won over Su Mianmian.
Of course, in a way, he wasn’t entirely lying to her. Even if Su Mianmian didn’t want to transform into a human, Jiang Che would definitely find a way to make it happen.
After all... how else could he teach her a proper lesson?
This little wildcat had cursed him so harshly; she needed to experience the hardships of life!
......
Jiang Che shamelessly uploaded the video of Su Mianmian playing the piano online, and it quickly went viral.
Because... it was just too bizarre!
The video garnered countless comments and shares within just a few hours.
“Holy crap~ I woke up too early and saw a cat playing the piano? I’m dying of laughter... that cat looks absolutely exhausted!”
“I know it’s probably edited, but I can’t help laughing (covering my mouth).”
“As we all know, videos can’t be edited, so this video must be real (smirking).”
“But this piano piece is really beautiful. Does anyone know who the original composer is?”
“I’ve been playing the piano for ten years, and I can confidently say this piece is definitely original. I’m begging the master to share the sheet music!”
Obviously, most people initially assumed the video was edited.
After all, who could believe a cat could play the piano? It just sounds impossible.
But the video was simply too viral, and many professional piano bloggers started analyzing the sheet music from the video.
...
February Seven was a piano content creator on a certain platform, often livestreaming her sheet music creations and amassing millions of followers.
Now, she had her eyes on this cat-playing-piano video.
“Haha... a cat playing the piano? If a cat can play the piano this well, I’ll chop off both my hands!”
Clearly, she didn’t believe the video was real either.
“But this piece is really good. It must be from some piano master, and the person playing it is also incredibly skilled...”
She began meticulously reconstructing the sheet music frame by frame, but gradually... she noticed something strange.
Her attention shifted from the sheet music to the cat itself.
“How is this possible? Every single note... this cat pressed the right keys?”
After slowing down the video, she felt a chill run down her spine. From the first frame to the last, the cat hadn’t missed a single key!!!
If this was edited... how could it be so flawlessly done?
A ridiculous thought crossed her mind: Could it be... that this piano piece was really played by this cat?
No way!
With that thought, she immediately contacted a friend and sent him the video.
“Hey, you’re into video editing. Can you check if this video has been edited?”
She received a reply almost instantly.
“Holy crap! Sis, is your cat a genius? It learned to play the piano?”
February Seven felt a wave of terror wash over her.
A cat could play the piano? And play it this well?
She didn’t know what kind of mood she was in as she created a detailed analysis video and uploaded it.
【Shocking! The piano-playing cat isn’t edited?】
......
Jiang Che had no idea that his casual act had sparked a nationwide debate.
“Sister Feifei, does your leg still hurt?”
Jiang Che looked helplessly at Gu Lingfei, who had been lying in bed all morning.
Gu Lingfei sat on the edge of the bed, stretching lazily. Her nightgown accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look even more alluring.
“Ha~~~” She yawned, giving her a fragile yet captivating beauty.
Gu Lingfei was already a mature, cold-hearted beauty, like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked. Though mature, she still carried a hint of youthful innocence.
And now... she was fully ripe! One bite, and she’d burst with flavor!
“Alright, I’m fine. No big deal.”
Gu Lingfei got out of bed, her energy fully restored. “Taking a day off work is such a luxury!”
See, even the company’s female CEO doesn’t want to work, let alone the average employee.
Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her voice and said to Jiang Che, “Xiao Che, you need to take it easy with Wan’er and Dong’er.”
Jiang Che shrugged. “Sister Feifei, their physiques are even better than yours!”
Yu Wan’er was now at the Middle Stage Dark Force level, and Dong’er was even more advanced, almost reaching the mid-level of the Grandmaster stage.
Including Ye Mengyao, Bai Qiangwei, and even Qin Qiaoqiao, with Jiang Che’s help, they had all at least reached the early stage of Dark Force. They might not know how to fully utilize their internal energy, but they could at least protect themselves in dangerous situations!
“Hmph, you’d better be careful!”
Gu Lingfei snorted. If even she couldn’t handle it, how could Yu Wan’er and Dong’er?
You’re such a beast, damn it!
......
Meanwhile, the trap for Qin Tian was about to close.
While Qin Tian was lying in the hospital recovering from his... injury, Qiangsheng Group had already begun consolidating its shares.
Leng Ningqiu had nearly all the company executives transfer the majority of their shares to Jiang Che, even transferring her own shares to him.
Jiang Che’s shares skyrocketed to 68%, giving him absolute control!
He had now surpassed Qin Tian as the company’s largest shareholder.
With the entire company’s upper management loyal to Jiang Che, how could Qin Tian, an outsider, possibly compete?
Poor Qin Tian was still dreaming of using his investment system to take control of Qiangsheng Group. Even a pig knows to squeal before it’s slaughtered, but Qin Tian was still clinging to his delusions of a comeback.
All they needed to do was hold a shareholders’ meeting and vote to kick Qin Tian out. After all, his usefulness had already been drained.
He had generously handed over 1 billion in investments to Jiang Che, but of course... Jiang Che wouldn’t mistreat him.
After all, Jiang Che had already found the perfect life partner for him—Brother Qiang!
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.

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
