"Where... where do you want to go for our date?"
Ji Ningxue clasped her hands behind her back, her entire demeanor radiating nervousness.
"Ningxue-jie, while you were in the meeting earlier, I already prepared a detailed itinerary. We can start by..."
Jiang Che launched into an enthusiastic explanation, as if he had spent ages planning this.
But honestly... weren’t dates just the same few places anyway?
Amusement parks, movie theaters, shopping malls...
As for more thrilling activities, Jiang Che had tried those too—like taking Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao horseback riding at a private equestrian club, or skiing and skydiving.
But those required serious "technical skills." One wrong move, and it could mean the end of him—literally.
Right now, his relationship with Ji Ningxue clearly hadn’t progressed to that level yet.
Seeing Jiang Che like this, Ji Ningxue’s long-dormant heart wavered once more.
Jiang Che... really seemed to like her. And his affection was completely different from Xiao Chen’s!
Being liked by Jiang Che... didn’t bother her at all. But Xiao Chen hovering around her all the time? It was like being followed by a disgusting lapdog.
"Fine. This is my first date, so... I’ll leave it up to you."
...
Jiang Che was driving Ji Ningxue’s car—a pricey Bentley.
As the Bentley pulled out of the company, Xiao Chen, who had been waiting in the pavilion for Ji Ningxue to finish work, immediately sprang to his feet.
"Ningxue’s off work?"
"Ningxue! Ningxue, I’m over here!" Xiao Chen waved excitedly, his face alight with anticipation.
"Ningxue-jie, should we stop?"
From the passenger seat, Ji Ningxue panicked the moment she saw Xiao Chen. After all, she was sneaking off on a date with another man behind his back—and now he’d caught her red-handed. Of course she’d feel guilty!
"Don’t mind him. Just keep going!"
"Got it~" Jiang Che floored the accelerator without hesitation.
As the Bentley sped away, Xiao Chen’s expression twisted in distress.
"Ningxue... Ningxue, it’s me..."
Xiao Chen, a half-step Grandmaster-level martial artist, kicked his legs into overdrive, hitting a staggering 70 mph—enough to make Usain Bolt weep!
But alas, Jiang Che had already slammed the gas pedal to the floor, leaving Xiao Chen choking on exhaust fumes.
"No—!" Xiao Chen watched helplessly as the car disappeared into the distance, his heart in turmoil. Just now, using his heightened perception, he’d vaguely sensed... another man in the car with Ji Ningxue.
If Ji Ningxue had simply ignored him, he wouldn’t have lost his mind like this.
But another man in the picture? That sent him spiraling into full-blown crisis mode.
"Haah... Ningxue must be going out for a business meeting. It’s normal for there to be a man in the car. I must be overthinking it."
Xiao Chen tried to soothe himself with delusions.
But the unease lingered, leaving him restless and agitated.
...
"Heh, Ningxue-jie, your husband’s pretty fast, huh? Must work out a lot..."
Ji Ningxue stiffened in the passenger seat, instantly picking up on Jiang Che’s mocking tone.
[That useless Xiao Chen, why’d he have to run so fast? He’s embarrassing me!]
Tsk tsk tsk. Seems the CEO lady really can’t stand her husband.
"Ningxue-jie, how about a kiss first?" Jiang Che licked his lips suggestively.
"Ugh, you little pervert! I only agreed to go out with you—I’m still going home tonight!" Ji Ningxue crossed her arms, her tone dripping with haughty defiance.
"Huh? Ningxue-jie, what are you talking about? I just asked for a little peck... and now you’re trying to drag me home with you?" Jiang Che shot her a wary look.
"Figures. Older women are always so desperate—especially nearing-thirty virgins!"
Ji Ningxue: "......"
She genuinely couldn’t hold back this time. Desperate?!
"Say that again??? Who’s nearing thirty? Who’s a virgin???"
If looks could kill, Jiang Che would’ve been vaporized on the spot.
So much for the sweet, considerate little brother act. Jiang Che’s true rogue nature was starting to show.
"Wasn’t it you who said you’d take me home tonight~?"
Ji Ningxue gave up on responding, turning to glare out the window in silent frustration.
But soon, a figure outside made her gasp in shock.
"Huh??? How is he still catching up?!"
Jiang Che glanced at the rearview mirror, his eye twitching violently.
Xiao Chen was still chasing them—but now on a shared bike?!
Jiang Che fell silent, checking the speedometer.
120 mph.
This was absurd. Pedaling a shared bike at 120 mph? That was talent worthy of a Guinness World Record.
The bike’s wheels were practically sparking from friction.
"What do we do? Can we lose him?"
Ji Ningxue frowned.
"Of course we can. Watch this, Ningxue-jie."
With that, Jiang Che pulled out his phone and dialed the police.
"Hello, 911? I’m on the highway near Hangcheng’s outskirts. There’s a guy on a shared bike speeding like crazy..."
Police: "???"
Highway? Shared bike? Speeding? Those words together short-circuited their brains.
After hanging up, Jiang Che hummed a tune. Before long, several police cars appeared behind them, intercepting Xiao Chen mid-chase.
Sure, people biking on highways wasn’t unheard of—but someone speeding on a shared bike? That was a first!
"Alright, Ningxue-jie, no more distractions. Tonight, we can enjoy our little getaway to the fullest. And you... can use me however you want~"
Ji Ningxue’s face flushed crimson. "Who—who’s having a getaway with you, you little rascal!"
Jiang Che decided to drop the act. Playing the sweet, attentive younger brother was exhausting—it took years of practice to pull off convincingly.
Being a shameless flirt suited him much better.
"Well, what now? We’re already in another city... guess we’ll have to stay at a hotel tonight." He shrugged, feigning innocence.
See? A true hunter always controlled the game.
Ji Ningxue narrowed her eyes, studying Jiang Che carefully.
She did have feelings for him, but she was still a married woman. Actually crossing the line was out of the question—a kiss was already pushing her limits!
She was stubborn like that. Once she set a boundary, she never broke it.

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.”

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.
