Ye Mengyao!
Jiang Che observed this young lady with great interest.
The little princess of the Ye family in Hangcheng, his childhood friend. While he had feelings for her, she didn't reciprocate.
The main reason was that Ye Mengyao had androphobia.
Classic! This was so classic!
The typical man-hating, ice queen, tsundere character... who would inevitably fall for the protagonist.
Ugh!
"Jiang Che?"
Ye Mengyao spoke again, while quite a few students had gathered at the school gate.
After all, Ye Mengyao was the school beauty, the secret crush of many male students, and even many female students harbored feelings for her.
Jiang Che gave her a glance and said coldly, "What do you want?"
His tone caught Ye Mengyao off guard.
"Well... something came up at home, and our butler can't pick me up. Could you take me home?"
Ye Mengyao's tone wasn't questioning, but assertive!
In her mind, Jiang Che had always been completely obedient to her, and surely wouldn't refuse to take her home.
"Heh—"
Jiang Che sneered, reassessing this "fairy princess."
"Why? Why should I take you home?"
"This—" Ye Mengyao was suddenly at a loss for words.
Jiang Che's response was completely unexpected.
From childhood until now, Jiang Che had never refused her anything.
"Our homes are very close, in the same district. It would be easy for you to help."
[Ding! Host has encountered Ye Mengyao's request, triggering villain choice options]
[Choice 1: Agree immediately, become a simp and take Ye Mengyao home. Reward: Ye Mengyao's Favorability +1]
[Choice 2: Knock her out and take her away, trigger special plot. Reward: A pair of silver bracelets]
[Choice 3: Firmly refuse and leave. Reward: Master-level comprehensive combat skills]
Hmm—
Wow, this system!
Really stirring things up, huh?
The second choice was very tempting.
It sounded exciting.
But all you get is a pair of silver bracelets.
"I choose three!"
......
Jiang Che's expression turned cold, "That won't work. Take a taxi home, or take the bus!"
After saying this, Jiang Che turned and walked toward a Maybach without looking back.
Butler Li Ming had been waiting by the car for a long time.
"Young Master, aren't we taking Miss Ye?"
"No, let's go."
Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Che watched the still-dumbfounded Ye Mengyao through the window, a smile playing on his lips.
This feels amazing!
Meanwhile, at the school gate, Ye Mengyao finally came to her senses.
Her face turned completely red, overwhelmed by endless shame.
Moreover, there were so many classmates watching. As the young miss of the Ye family, she had been treated like royalty since birth.
Being publicly rejected made her lose all face—
"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Jiang has changed? No longer being a simp?"
"That's incredible. Ye Mengyao is so beautiful... if she made any request of me, I'd give my life for her—"
"Haha, you want the school beauty to ride on your bicycle? Dream on!"
"Young Master Jiang is truly a role model for us all!"
"I think Young Master Jiang must have seen the light and doesn't want to pursue Ye Mengyao anymore. If I had his money, I'd be out having fun long ago~"
Of course, many of Ye Mengyao's admirers also stepped forward.
"Yao Yao, let me take you home!"
"My family's driver is using a Rolls-Royce today, I'll take you home."
"Senior Mengyao, Jiang Che doesn't love you enough, I'm more devoted than him!"
With Jiang Che, the number one simp, no longer simping, Ye Mengyao's remaining admirers rushed to take his place.
However, Ye Mengyao's expression was not pleasant.
"Get lost!"
The young miss's temper flared up, and she angrily drove away all her admirers.
She felt very wronged – when had she ever been treated like this?
At this moment, Yu Wan'er came out.
"Sister Yao Yao, don't be angry. Jiang Che is just a big jerk! Let's ignore him."
Seeing Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao's mood improved considerably.
"Mm! You're right, Wan'er. Jiang Che is just a jerk."
"Sister Yao Yao, why don't you call Uncle Ye? It's not safe for you to take a taxi home alone."
But Ye Mengyao held the little loli's hand, "I have you! Wan'er, why don't you come home with me tonight?"
"But Sister Yao Yao... we have an exam tomorrow!"
"What's there to worry about? I, this poor student, need to consult you, the academic star, about some questions!"
"Sister Yao Yao, you're teasing me again. Didn't you also rank in the school's top ten in the last mock exam?"
As they walked, they continued listing Jiang Che's 'various evil deeds.'
Of course, Yu Wan'er didn't mention what happened today.
Some things were better kept to oneself.
......
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice, receiving reward 'Master-level comprehensive combat skills']
Not bad, not bad!
Just strengthened my power, and now getting skills.
"Merge skills!"
As Jiang Che spoke, his mind was suddenly filled with knowledge and techniques about various martial arts.
Everything from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Karate, Judo, Sanda, and even Dragon Country's ancient martial arts like Tai Chi and Bajiquan.
Like enlightenment descending from above, it directly elevated Jiang Che to an expert!
"Awesome!"
He was now full of confidence, feeling like he could take on ten opponents at once.
Never mind about lacking actual combat experience or it being just theoretical knowledge... various fighting techniques had completely merged with Jiang Che, forming muscle memory.
System products were guaranteed quality.
With his current strength, even if he couldn't beat the protagonist, at least he wouldn't end up being hung from a tree and beaten, right?
"Young Master, we're home."
...
When Jiang Che returned home, a beautiful mature woman was sitting on the sofa, her hair pinned to one side, holding a white Ragdoll cat, leaning back watching TV dramas, her slender legs casually resting on the coffee table.
"Son, you're back from school?"
Seeing Jiang Che, Jiang Yunli became very excited, putting down the cat... running to Jiang Che barefoot without even putting on slippers, giving him a motherly hug.
Motherly love overflowing!
Jiang Che: "......"
Madam, although I'm your son, couldn't you mind your image a bit?
Rather embarrassing.
For a moment, he even doubted whether he had transmigrated into an urban novel or entered some alternate world.
Really doing this to me, huh?
At this time, the sizzling sound of cooking came from the kitchen, along with a rough male voice.
"Little Che is back? Perfect timing to try your old man's newly learned cooking skills!"
Soon, Jiang Yuan came out carrying two dishes. Despite his crew cut, it couldn't hide his handsome features.
These two were his parents in this world.
According to Jiang Che's understanding of the plot, he was an only child, so these two extremely doted on him, to the point of becoming mindless villains who opposed the protagonist... and then ended up losing everything.
"Ah, it's been so long since our family has eaten together."
Although Jiang Yuan was a trillion-yuan tycoon, he showed no airs at this moment.
"Come, come, try my Kung Pao Chicken. Honey, try a piece..."
"Alright~ Wow, it's delicious, thank you, darling!"
Jiang Che felt a wave of deep disgust wash over him.
This damn display of affection!
After carelessly eating a few bites of rice, he prepared to go upstairs.
"Son, let me ask you something."
Jiang Che stopped, his eyes showing confusion.
Jiang Yuan scratched his head, "Your Uncle Ye just called. Did you and Mengyao have a fight?"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
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.
