"Ah~ I must pamper Gu Lingfei properly in a couple of days."
Jiang Che looked at the disconnected call. Although the woman said she wasn’t jealous, how could she not be? The scent of jealousy was so strong that Jiang Che could smell it through the screen.
"Wuwuwu... I'm hungry, Jiang Che... I want to eat your... I want to eat the braised pork you make."
Ye Mengyao was completely drunk. It had only been two glasses of wine, yet she was already in such a state.
"You’re so drunk... I recorded everything you just said, by the way."
A sly smile crept onto Jiang Che’s lips.
That’s right, he had recorded the entire process of Ye Mengyao getting drunk.
It was the epitome of social embarrassment.
Mengyao, you wouldn’t want anyone to see you babbling nonsense after getting drunk, would you?
......
The next morning.
Ye Mengyao woke up, only to find herself wrapped around Jiang Che like an octopus.
"Jiang... Jiang Che, did I get drunk last night?"
Jiang Che nodded. "Yeah... you got drunk. You’re already a mid-level ancient martial artist, yet you still managed to get drunk? That’s a bit ridiculous."
Ye Mengyao felt a little awkward.
"Did I say anything last night?"
This was what she was most concerned about. She was afraid she might have spilled her true feelings while drunk.
What if she had revealed all her little secrets? That would be disastrous.
"What do you think? Last night, someone was crying and clinging to my arm, looking so pitiful..."
Ye Mengyao’s expression froze.
She was completely mortified.
"I... I didn’t say anything, right?"
Seeing Ye Mengyao’s flustered expression, Jiang Che took out his phone and played the recording of her drunken antics from the night before.
[Wuwuwu... I’m sorry, I lost you. Will you still love me?]
[I don’t want to go home. If I go home, you’ll ignore me.]
[Can you give me a little of the love you give Wan’er? Just a little... I’m not greedy.]
[I want to have a baby with you...]
Halfway through the recording, Ye Mengyao’s face turned bright red.
She desperately tried to snatch Jiang Che’s phone. "Stop playing it!!!"
Seeing Ye Mengyao’s shy and embarrassed expression, Jiang Che chuckled and gently tapped her nose.
"Mengyao, you even wanted to have a baby with me?"
Ye Mengyao’s face flushed. She had indeed thought about using a child to tie Jiang Che’s heart to her.
"There’s no need. You don’t have to feel insecure, and you definitely don’t need to have a baby with me."
A hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Che’s eyes. Although there were more and more women around him, he wasn’t planning to let any of them get pregnant at this stage.
After all, with the Life-Extending Pill and the Villain System, he could potentially live a long life with these women.
For ordinary people, life might only last a few decades, but for Jiang Che, it was different. In the long span of life, there were so many things to do. Having children could wait!
Besides, Jiang Che wasn’t particularly interested in human offspring. They were noisy and annoying!
Ye Mengyao, being a hopeless romantic, quickly teared up after hearing Jiang Che’s words.
She sobbed and threw herself into Jiang Che’s arms.
"You’re such a jealous little thing. You’re even jealous of your own best friend? Aren’t you and Wan’er the closest of friends? What’s this... a fake sisterhood?"
Ye Mengyao lowered her head in shame.
For some reason, thinking about Wan’er made her feel a sense of guilt. It felt like she was stealing someone else’s lover.
"A... Achoo!"
Meanwhile, Yu Wan’er, who was at home petting her cat, suddenly sneezed.
"That jerk Jiang Che must be bullying Mengyao again."
The petite girl’s face puffed up in anger, and she felt a pang of jealousy.
"Big jerk, always full of dirty thoughts. He’s going to go impotent one day!"
"Meow meow meow~~~" Su Mianmian seemed to agree!
Yu Wan’er looked down at the cat in her arms. For some reason, the more she looked at this Ragdoll cat, the more familiar it seemed.
Suddenly, she realized that this cat looked exactly like the famous ‘piano-playing cat’ that had gone viral online recently.
It wasn’t just similar... it was practically identical!
"Go on, little cat, play me a piano piece."
Su Mianmian: "......"
She felt like this little girl’s brain wasn’t working properly!
After giving her a disdainful look, Su Mianmian strutted away on her cat legs, leaving Yu Wan’er sitting there questioning her life choices.
......
Jiang Che rarely went to school, but today he made an exception because there was a girl with great fortune waiting for him there!
"Jiang Che, I know you’re trying to pursue Shen Yu, right? I can help you win her over."
Ye Mengyao clung to Jiang Che’s arm, a mischievous smile on her face. Ever since she had opened up to Jiang Che a few days ago, the heavy burden in her heart had lifted.
She had become much more confident. If she liked someone, she would say it outright, especially at school—this was her territory!
At school, she had the advantage of the childhood friend buff, which made all the students subconsciously see her as Jiang Che’s official girlfriend.
Even Qin Qiaoqiao couldn’t compare to her!
Thinking of this, the proud young lady couldn’t help but smirk.
Yu Wan’er followed behind Jiang Che, acting like a punching bag.
"Mengyao, why are you helping this jerk pursue Shen Yu? He’s such a player!"
Ye Mengyao smiled mysteriously and whispered into Yu Wan’er’s ear.
"Wan’er, don’t you want to see the genius girl’s downfall? She scored full marks in the last exam... and when I asked her for help, she said I was dumb! It made me so mad!"
Ye Mengyao clenched her fists in frustration.
Yu Wan’er and Jiang Che: "......"
As expected, Ye Mengyao was still the same proud young lady. Her vulnerable side only showed when she was with Jiang Che.
"Jiang Che, you have to win over Shen Yu. I can’t stand her..."
Ye Mengyao pointed to a classroom where, by the window, a girl sat upright, writing something.
The girl wore a neat school uniform, glasses, and a simple ponytail. Her side profile was flawless, giving off the vibe of a first love.
But there was an undeniable sense of distance about her.
It’s said that women are naturally jealous, especially beautiful women!
Ye Mengyao saw her past self in Shen Yu. She used to be just as aloof, and it was that very aloofness that had pushed Jiang Che away.
She hated her past self, so naturally, she hated Shen Yu too!
Jiang Che smirked. "Winning her over won’t be hard. In fact, it’ll be a piece of cake."
For a genius girl bound to a study system, all you needed to do was show her that you were even more of a genius... and she’d fall for you faster than anyone else.

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...
