Jiang Che only needed to make a slight move to leave Shen Yu, the girl of destiny, frustrated for a long time.
Shen Yu... Jiang Che was definitely going to win her over.
But he didn’t like rushing things now; he preferred to take it slow and steady.
For example, right now, Chen Ningshuang came to find him again!
“Jiang Che... do you have time now? Can... can you guide me in my cultivation?”
Chen Ningshuang stood before Jiang Che once more!
Before, when she said such things, she would blush in embarrassment. But now... she no longer blushed, having grown completely accustomed to it.
It was just a routine, like clocking in for work every day. After all, Jiang Che wouldn’t actually lay a hand on her.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted whether Jiang Che, that scoundrel, was even capable.
“Hmm~ I do have time now.”
Jiang Che smirked, his eyes narrowing.
His large hand wrapped around Chen Ningshuang’s slender waist, the unique fragrance of a young girl wafting into Jiang Che’s nostrils.
Since becoming Jiang Che’s maid, Chen Ningshuang had always worn this white Hanfu, which Jiang Che had carefully selected. It perfectly matched her temperament and beauty.
“Wait... wait!”
Chen Ningshuang was a bit flustered. What was going on?
Shouldn’t Jiang Che continue to reject her? After all, he had turned her down over a dozen times before.
“Wait for what? Didn’t you always want to get stronger? I’m giving you this opportunity. Don’t you want to reach the Gangjin level in a single day and become a grandmaster?”
“Ningshuang, even with your talent, it would take you a year or two to reach Gangjin from your current late-stage Transform Force level, right? But I can help you.”
“Once this chance is gone, it’s gone for good~”
Jiang Che’s voice was incredibly persuasive, echoing in Chen Ningshuang’s ears like a mesmerizing spell.
“I... I...”
Chen Ningshuang’s shoulders trembled, one hand tightly clutching her collar. But in the end, she slowly loosened her grip.
The night passed without words.
......
When the first rays of morning sunlight entered the room, Chen Ningshuang had broken through!
Without a doubt, she had broken through, reaching the grandmaster level in a single night.
“I’m... a grandmaster now?”
Chen Ningshuang stared at her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief. The surging internal energy within her body was ready to burst forth, automatically forming a protective aura.
The immense internal energy filled every part of her body. She was now countless times stronger than before!
“How... how is this possible? Breaking through to Gangjin so easily...?”
Chen Ningshuang’s worldview had been utterly shattered by Jiang Che.
Just yesterday, she was still at the late-stage Transform Force level!
There were two minor realms in between: the peak Transform Force and the half-step grandmaster levels!
And she had crossed them all in just a few hours? Her cultivation had skyrocketed so terrifyingly fast?
Most importantly... she could feel that her cultivation foundation and talent had changed, as if she had undergone a bone-cleansing transformation.
“Jiang Che... you...”
Chen Ningshuang leaned against the bed, a towel half-covering her delicate body, her fair arms inviting endless imagination. She was too excited.
The way she looked at Jiang Che now was entirely different.
Not only could he boost her cultivation, but he could also enhance her foundation and talent?
Didn’t this mean... she truly had the potential to reach the legendary realm of martial arts in the future?
Without a doubt, Chen Ningshuang was a martial arts fanatic. Her previous goal had been to become a Tianjin grandmaster!
But now... she had an even greater ambition: to reach that mythical realm of martial arts.
“Jiang Che!” Chen Ningshuang bit her lip lightly, her gaze at Jiang Che almost dripping with desire.
If she had known that cultivation could be so effortless, why had she been working so hard all this time?
Jiang Che sighed, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. Yesterday was only possible because your primordial yin was still intact, which allowed your cultivation speed to skyrocket. Plus, you were already strong, which is why you could leap several minor realms to become a grandmaster.”
“Dong’er was the same before. She reached grandmaster level in one night, but her progress slowed down afterward.”
Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Chen Ningshuang’s excitement was instantly dampened.
She had thought that as long as she cultivated with Jiang Che, she could maintain such rapid progress every day. But now, it seemed like wishful thinking.
“But it’s still much faster than cultivating on your own,” Jiang Che added.
Chen Ningshuang raised her head, her aura suddenly shifting as her internal energy circulated.
Her eyes burned with intensity as she looked at Jiang Che. “Jiang Che, I challenge you!”
Jiang Che: “......”
Challenge my ass! Don’t forget who poured countless effort into forcibly elevating you to grandmaster level!
You’re biting the hand that feeds you, bullying me just because I’m only at the peak Transform Force level, huh?
“Heh... little girl, are you trying to kill your husband? Don’t forget where your power came from.”
Jiang Che gave a wicked smile. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Ningshuang at all. After all, this wild filly had already been tamed.
......
[Oh no, another girl is about to fall for him.]
On the balcony next door, a white Ragdoll cat lounged in the sunlight, basking in the warmth, while inwardly grumbling.
[Wait! Jiang Che, that scoundrel, can read my thoughts! I forgot about that... damn it!]
[But he’s so far away now. He shouldn’t be able to hear me, right?]
[Hello? If you can’t hear me, I’m going to curse you!]
“Heh, Su Mianmian, I’m waiting for the day you turn into a cat girl. Yu Wan’er’s fate will be yours!”
Jiang Che’s voice reached Su Mianmian’s ears, startling her.
[Wh-what? Cat girl???]
[You... you’re actually plotting something like this? Even after I’ve turned into a poor little cat, you’re not going to let me go?]
[I knew you wouldn’t just give me good things for free. You’re really...]
Su Mianmian was dumbfounded. Jiang Che’s plan was so blatant!
Her soul was human, and she couldn’t bear to remain a Ragdoll cat forever. To transform, she would need Jiang Che’s help, but he was just waiting for her to take that step.
[This is too perverted! Furry lovers are disgusting!]
Su Mianmian, embarrassed, ran off. Jiang Che’s ability to read minds was too creepy. She had no privacy at all. From now on, she had to stay as far away from this pervert as possible!
Just as Su Mianmian was heading downstairs, she bumped into two figures.
“Meow~~~~”
Su Mianmian looked up and saw a man and a woman.
Especially the woman... standing next to her feet, Su Mianmian couldn’t even see her head from this angle—or maybe she could, but it was blocked by her clothes.
What a perfectly shaped lady!
If it wasn’t Jiang Yunli, who else could it be?
“Sweetie! Mommy’s here to hold you...”
Jiang Yunli, mistaking Su Mianmian for her own little Ragdoll, bent down and picked her up.
[Mmmph... what’s suffocating me? Madam... you’re going to smother me to death.]
Su Mianmian waved her little paws, but it only made Jiang Yunli laugh.
......
Jiang Che’s company was growing bigger and bigger, even catching the attention of Jiang Yuan and others. When Jiang Yuan had some free time, he sent people to investigate this “Qiangsheng Group.” The results were shocking!
The company’s secret investor turned out to be his own son?
What a coincidence!
He was overjoyed. His son had finally come to his senses, quietly building a company worth billions. Recently, he had even attracted an investor who poured in a billion yuan.
This was truly impressive!
Son, with skills like this, why bother starting a business? For wealthy parents, they’re not afraid of their children indulging in luxury, but they dread their children wanting to start businesses!
Come back and inherit the family fortune already. Your old man can’t wait to enjoy some quality time with your mom!
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.
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
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?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! 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!
