At the Jiang Family Villa.
"Yaoyao-jie, that pervert must be out chasing other girls again," Yu Wan'er grumbled while sitting cross-legged on the sofa, inexplicably in a sulk.
She knew Jiang Che all too well—this guy couldn't live without women. With so many girls already at home… yet he still sneaked out to fool around?
"Come on, Wan'er, don’t be mad. How can you be so sure Jiang Che is actually meeting another girl?"
"Jiang Che has a lot on his plate right now. Uncle Jiang handed Yuanche Pharmaceutical over to him… Now he’s the CEO of a trillion-dollar enterprise. He must be swamped with work~"
Yu Wan'er pouted.
[My poor Yaoyao-jie has become a hopeless romantic~ Now she’s even making excuses for Jiang Che’s womanizing.]
"I heard… Qiangsheng Group, the company Jiang Che founded, is full of beauties, especially that female president, Leng Ningqiu—an absolute stunner. That scumbag Jiang Che must’ve been cheating on us behind our backs."
When girls gather, gossip is inevitable.
"Surely not?" Qin Qiaoqiao covered her mouth in surprise.
"Wan'er! Talking smack about Jiang Che behind his back? Don’t blame me if I secretly snitch on you," Ye Mengyao teased with a grin.
"Then you’ll be the one suffering again~"
Yu Wan'er’s face instantly flushed red. "You’re all making fun of me again!"
"Hehehe~" Qin Qiaoqiao flashed a mischievous smile and lunged at Yu Wan'er, her fingers relentlessly tickling the petite girl’s waist.
"Gahahaha~~~"
One of a tsundere’s weaknesses: ticklishness.
Attacking this weak spot yielded unexpectedly effective results—something Jiang Che had mastered through experience.
Qin Qiaoqiao used to be a proper goody-two-shoes, but after spending so much time around Jiang Che… she’d developed a bit of a devilish streak.
Bai Jie, on the other hand, stood obediently to the side, helping the maids with household chores while occasionally pocketing a pair or two of Jiang Che’s underwear.
For a yandere like her, no one except Jiang Che could spark her interest—no matter how adorable Yu Wan'er was.
......
As it turned out, Yu Wan'er’s understanding of Jiang Che was spot-on.
She knew him inside out.
"Stir-Fried Little Fish" was indeed a delectable dish—savory, sweet, and utterly addictive!
The next morning.
Shen Yu woke up early as usual.
Despite barely sleeping the night before, her biological clock ensured she was up before seven.
Lying in Jiang Che’s arms, her mood remained eerily calm, as if nothing could stir her emotions.
"Why are you up so early?"
Jiang Che smoothed her long hair with a lazy hand, the scent of the girl’s fragrance filling the sheets.
"I have to study in the mornings."
"Study what? You’re young and free—exams are over! Big tests call for big fun, small tests for small fun, and no tests? Just fun. You’re completely liberated now… Why keep grinding? Go back to sleep!"
Shen Yu: "……"
"I need breakfast."
"I’ll make it for you later—fried dough sticks, soy milk, and eggs," Jiang Che replied impatiently.
"I have to use the bathroom."
"Fine, I’ll carry you there."
"Never mind. Let’s just sleep." Shen Yu was utterly speechless.
She was completely dumbfounded. How could someone be so shameless?
Nestled in Jiang Che’s arms, Shen Yu blinked up at his flawless profile, mentally coaxing herself to fall for him.
After all, Jiang Che’s system was a conquest-based one. To reap benefits from him… she had to make herself love him!
But… her heart remained as still as a frozen lake, not a ripple of emotion in sight.
Jiang Che’s eyes were closed, but he wasn’t asleep.
Heh, little girl, I refuse to believe you won’t crack. I’ve already conquered you—don’t you know that familiarity breeds affection?
But the next second, Jiang Che’s confidence shattered when he overheard Shen Yu’s thoughts.
[Right, the draft papers I wrote yesterday got burned. I only calculated halfway through.]
[I added 17 terms of that convergent series and made it to the 42nd digit. Now I have to start over…]
And so, snuggled against Jiang Che, Shen Yu mentally calculated a ridiculously complex convergent series all the way to the 50th digit—leaving Jiang Che utterly defeated.
Well, conquering Shen Yu’s heart was clearly a long and arduous road.
Because this girl’s heart was practically encased in concrete!
...
It wasn’t until noon that Jiang Che finally got up.
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief!
She hurried to the bathroom—even geniuses had to pee.
When she returned, Jiang Che smirked at her.
"So, Shen Yu, how do you feel?"
Shen Yu frowned. "I’m sore. I can barely walk…"
Jiang Che’s lips twitched. "I meant, do you feel any surging power inside you?"
"Like… internal energy?"
Jiang Che was exasperated. Last night, he’d practiced dual cultivation with her. With his current strength, a single session should’ve elevated her to mid-level Dark Force mastery.
"Internal energy…"
The girl murmured to herself but soon sensed an unusual, potent force within her body.
"This is…"
"Yep, that’s internal energy."
Jiang Che grinned and took her hand. "From now on, you’re a martial artist."
A martial artist…
Shen Yu’s brain nearly short-circuited.
She stared blankly at her hands. Everything seemed to be spiraling in an unpredictable direction.
She’d never imagined she’d one day become a… martial artist?
"Here—this ointment helps heal… tears. Very effective, personally tested."
Jiang Che tossed a tube of green balm onto the bed.
Shen Yu: "……"
Looking at the ointment, her heart inexplicably wavered.
Before leaving, Jiang Che checked on the orange tabby, Huangdoufen (Soybean Flour).
The effects of the transformation pill had long worn off, and the cat was curled up asleep in the wardrobe.
"Tsk tsk, a little orange cat paired with a little fish—perfect match."
Jiang Che scooped up Huangdoufen and gave its tail a playful tug.
"Who’d have thought? This chubby cat turns into such an adorable catgirl when transformed?"
A ditsy, kitten-eared loli—in terms of cuteness, she could rival even a tsundere like Yu Wan'er.
He then turned to Shen Yu with a grin. "Little Yu’er, can I take your cat home for a few days?"
"No." Shen Yu’s refusal was absolute.
She marched over, snatched Huangdoufen back, and clutched the cat protectively.
If she couldn’t figure out his intentions by now, her sky-high IQ would’ve been wasted.
"Jiang Che, let me remind you—humans and spirits are fundamentally different. There’s reproductive isolation between you."
"Huh? That’s even better?" Jiang Che feigned surprise.
Shen Yu: "……"
She was truly dumbfounded—Jiang Che kept pushing the boundaries of her understanding of human decency.
Too shameless! Utterly, ridiculously shameless!
"Heh, take care, Xiao Yu’er. I’ll be visiting often from now on."
Watching Jiang Che’s retreating figure, Shen Yu felt another crack form in her resolve.
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
