Just a few minutes after Ye Qing was taken away, the original transport vehicle slowly came to a halt.
Two grandmaster-level experts opened the compartment and stepped inside.
"Where is he? Damn it... the criminal escaped!"
The lead grandmaster's face twisted in shock. After a thorough search, he realized the gravity of the situation.
"But how did he get out? There's no sign of damage to the compartment!"
"Contact the other departments—launch the recapture operation immediately!"
They were all panicked. Allowing a grandmaster-level criminal to escape could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Scholars disrupt order with their writings; warriors breach laws with their might.
If Ye Qing were to unleash his bloodlust and massacre civilians in the city center, no one would be able to restrain him in the short term. The fallout would be unimaginably horrific.
When that happened, every single one of them would be held accountable—no exceptions.
Soon, the second round of the manhunt for Ye Qing was underway.
......
After several days of meticulous nurturing, Su Mianmian, the catgirl, had taken her first steps into the realm of cultivation.
Nearly all of Jiang Che's women had embarked on the path of cultivation, each at varying levels of ancient martial prowess.
Yu Wan'er, who had cultivated the most frequently and for the longest time, had even reached the half-step Profound Force realm.
"Jiang Che, I'm outta here!"
Su Mianmian, terrified, instantly reverted to her original form—an adorable little Ragdoll cat—before curling up on the coffee table.
They say humans are inherently foolish creatures. Before she could take human form, Su Mianmian had sworn she’d endure any hardship to achieve it.
Yet, in less than three days, she had already experienced the bone-deep terror of being dominated by the great demon king.
She had to avoid appearing in her catgirl form in front of Jiang Che at all costs—otherwise, she risked awakening his primal instincts.
"Xiao Che, why don’t you cook lunch today? It’s been a while since I’ve tasted your skills."
A mature, melodious voice drifted down from upstairs. Gu Lingfei, wrapped in a robe, yawned as she descended, her hair slightly messy and her expression drowsy.
The robe was flawlessly designed, with slits along the thighs. With every casual step, a pair of slender, flawless legs peeked through—legs so perfect they could probably snap a man’s waist in half.
Jiang Che stood up, wrapping an arm around the woman’s slender waist. "Sister Feifei, you’ve gotten even more beautiful, haven’t you?"
Gu Lingfei rolled her eyes at him. "Ugh, you smooth-talking little brat. Do you think I don’t know your tricks?"
"Heh, whether I’m smooth-talking or not, shouldn’t you know best, Sister Feifei? Not only am I smooth, but I’m also silver-tongued—specializing in charming girls!"
"Didn’t you fall for it too?"
Jiang Che pulled Gu Lingfei onto the sofa and began massaging her.
"Pfft, I let it happen. I’m the CEO of a publicly traded company, after all—not some lovestruck fool who’d get swept away. I weighed the pros and cons carefully before making my decision. Strengthening ties between our families just happens to benefit you, you little rascal~"
Jiang Che shrugged. "All that talk... and you still got played by me, didn’t you?"
Gu Lingfei: "......"
She shot him a resentful look. In the past, she had genuinely seen Jiang Che as nothing more than a younger brother.
Now? That younger brother had become her younger brother.
Gu Lingfei knew herself well—she was an exceedingly proud woman. She had built a billion-dollar company from scratch while still young, and she had every right to be arrogant.
She had once fantasized about her future partner. Like Chen Ningshuang, she had impossibly high standards.
But... she had never imagined she’d fall into Jiang Che’s hands.
And revel in it!
"Hey, hey—don’t rub there! It tickles, ahahaha—!"
Gu Lingfei laughed until tears formed as Jiang Che kneaded her leg.
"You little devil, no rewards for you today."
She pulled her leg back, cheeks flushed and eyes glistening, exuding an irresistible allure.
Who would have thought that the icy CEO of LingChe Group, the legendary business magnate worth billions, could display such a side?
This contrast was something no man could resist.
"Xiao Che, my mom somehow found out about us. She’s insisting on coming over to take care of the baby..."
Jiang Che froze. "Baby? What baby???"
A thought struck him, and his face lit up. He glanced down at Gu Lingfei’s abdomen and whispered, "You’re pregnant?"
"Pregnant my ass! She’s just delusional! Keeps going on about wanting a grandkid—it’s driving me crazy."
Despite her complaints, Gu Lingfei had caught the fleeting joy in Jiang Che’s expression.
"If your mom’s in such a hurry, why not just have one? It’s just shedding a little meat."
Gu Lingfei: "???"
What kind of nonsense was that?
Shedding a little meat?! This wasn’t a trip to the butcher’s!
"Just kidding. But if you ever feel like it, Sister Feifei, I’ll be more than willing to contribute—wholeheartedly, with undivided support."
Jiang Che smirked and patted his chest.
"Ugh, go knock up one of your little girlfriends instead."
[I’ll do it~~~]
Outside the room, Bai Jie, eavesdropping, clenched her fists.
As an ascended yandere, her love for Jiang Che had long surpassed simple physical affection.
...
After Gu Lingfei left, Jiang Che finally turned his gaze toward the door.
"Come out. No need to eavesdrop."
Bai Jie shivered at being called out. Just hearing his voice was enough to send her into a frenzy.
"J-Jiang Che... gege."
Jiang Che had mixed feelings about this girl.
She was the same lunatic who had spiked Ye Mengyao’s drink with aphrodisiacs at her birthday party.
Reject her? She’d definitely spiral into full-blown yandere mode.
Accept her? He’d gain an obsessive top-tier devotee. Bai Jie was the first girl whose love for him bordered on terrifying.
"What is it?"
"I... I want to cultivate. I want to get stronger—strong enough to stand by your side." The girl spoke with unwavering determination.
"???"
You want to get stronger? You want to improve?
Yeah, right. I can hear your ulterior motives from here—your schemes are practically slapping me in the face!
But Bai Jie quickly corrected herself.
"Ah—actually, my father wants to meet you. And Qiangwei-jiejie too."
She lowered her head. Despite having already been intimate with Jiang Che, every time she saw him, her fervent adoration overwhelmed her. She’d get so lost in thoughts of him that she’d forget even her father’s requests.
"Oh? Your father?"
Jiang Che pondered. He had a distinct impression of that poor old man.
One son, two daughters. The son, Bai Tianhuai, had run off to become a mercenary—only to end up dead.
And both daughters? Stolen away by him. Just thinking about it made Jiang Che offer a silent moment of mourning.
Old man, with a delinquent like me around... you never stood a chance.
"Sure. We’ll go together once your sister gets back from her music practice. We’ll pay the Bai family a visit."
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?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
