"Hey hey hey, I'm not done yet, don't start grabbing!"
Ji Ningxue and Jiang Che had been fooling around all day, and she was already starving. Faced with the irresistible dishes whipped up by Jiang Che's god-tier culinary skills, she couldn't hold back her cravings!
It was like a man who'd been celibate for a decade suddenly laying eyes on an unbearably cute little lolita in white socks and a frilly Lolita dress.
"Oof... it's so hot!"
Ji Ningxue tossed all ladylike manners aside and reached straight for the food with her bare hands.
"See? Rushing again? Burnt yourself, didn’t you?"
Jiang Che reached out, took her hand, and gently placed her reddened fingers into his mouth.
Mmm~~~ ice cream flavor, sweet and delicious!
"You—" Ji Ningxue shuddered as if electrocuted, her face flushing crimson.
Jiang Che gave her fingertips a light lick before letting go.
Then, with a sweeping gesture toward the lavish feast on the table, he said,
"Ningxue-jie, dig in—"
With that, Jiang Che went to fetch two bottles of expensive brandy.
At the table, Ji Ningxue sniffed the air, the intoxicating aroma making her feel like she was floating on clouds.
She picked up a slice of meat, popped it into her mouth, and as her lips pressed together, an explosion of rich flavor burst across her tongue.
"Mmm, so good!"
Clearly, even she couldn’t resist the overwhelming allure of god-tier cooking, taking several more eager bites.
For the first time in her life, she felt genuine happiness while eating, as if her very soul had been cleansed.
Pure bliss!
"So? How’s the taste, Ningxue-jie?"
Jiang Che walked over, carrying the two bottles.
"How did you make this? How is it so delicious???"
Ji Ningxue was now burning with curiosity—how could a pampered rich boy cook so well?
Instead of answering, Jiang Che grinned and asked, "Ningxue-jie, I heard your husband cooks for you every day. Compared to his skills... how do I stack up?"
This was no mere comparison—the two weren’t even in the same league!
Xiao Chen’s cooking might be decent, but against Jiang Che’s god-tier mastery? Every flaw stood out like a sore thumb.
"Why bring him up? Of course yours is better."
Ji Ningxue frowned slightly. Before meeting Jiang Che, Xiao Chen had just seemed incompetent in her eyes.
But now? Every part of him seemed flawed.
Even his one redeeming skill—his cooking—had been utterly crushed by Jiang Che.
"Hehe, Ningxue-jie, care for a drink?"
Ji Ningxue’s eyes flickered thoughtfully as she glanced at the glass Jiang Che offered.
"Really, Ningxue-jie? You’re suspicious of me? Relax... I’m a gentleman. Drugging someone is beneath me."
Ji Ningxue couldn’t help but laugh, taking the glass and downing it in one go.
Jiang Che would never stoop to something as low as spiking a drink—that was the kind of thing only a desperate creep like Bai Jie would do.
Besides, he wasn’t planning to "claim" Ji Ningxue tonight. This teasing, ambiguous tension was the most intoxicating—and the best way to keep a woman hooked.
......
Xiao Chen was panicking.
He had a gut feeling that if he didn’t act soon, something would happen that he’d regret for the rest of his life.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he called Tiaozao.
"Hello, Dragon King, what’s the honor?" Tiaozao’s tone carried a hint of impatience.
"Tiaozao, I’ve been detained at Hangcheng Police Station. Send someone to post 5,000 yuan bail and get me out ASAP. Then, track down where Ningxue went."
"Huh? The Asura himself got arrested? Want me to rally the troops for a grand welcome? I’ve been watching these short videos lately—the Dragon King smirks, and everyone falls in line. So badass! Boss, you’d totally pull it off!"
"I need to keep a low profile, got it? It’s not time to reveal my identity yet. If Ningxue finds out who I really am, she’ll fall for me beyond saving. I don’t want our love tainted by power or status."
Tiaozao was speechless. "Fine, oh mighty War God, keep your mystique then."
After hanging up, Tiaozao got to work.
As the world’s second-ranked hacker, he’d once briefly clashed with the third-ranked, "Monkey," and crushed him effortlessly.
Only one person in the hacking world could outmatch him—the legendary "God of Hackers," a figure shrouded in mystery and power, and Tiaozao’s ultimate idol.
Soon, Tiaozao dug up some intel.
"Wait... no way? Sis-in-law checked into a hotel with another guy?"
Tiaozao’s jaw dropped. He’d just run a casual search and stumbled onto this bombshell.
Instantly, he felt a pang of sympathy for Xiao Chen.
Checking the records, the pair had checked in at 5 PM. It was now 11 PM—by this point, sis-in-law was probably already...
Tiaozao’s heart raced. He knew exactly what Ji Ningxue meant to Xiao Chen!
She was part of his very soul. If Xiao Chen found out about this... he’d lose his mind.
Xiao Chen loved Ji Ningxue so deeply that he’d probably forgive her—but the Dragon King’s wrath? Rivers of blood would flow.
"Gulp—" Tiaozao swallowed hard.
What now?
What should he do? Should he even tell the Dragon King?
Just then, a pop-up flashed on his screen.
[Friend request from ‘Sugar Daddy’...]
"The hell? Who’s this?"
Confused but curious, Tiaozao accepted.
"Who are you?"
"I’m Jiang Che. You’re investigating me, right?"
The first line alone sent a cold sweat down Tiaozao’s back.
Holy crap! How?!
How did Jiang Che know he was being investigated? Impossible! As the world’s No. 2 hacker, even the FBI couldn’t trace him. How had Jiang Che detected him?
Unless... the guy’s skills far surpassed his own, allowing him to silently counter-track Tiaozao’s movements?
If so, then Jiang Che’s hacking prowess had to be on a whole other level!
Which meant his identity was obvious!
Tiaozao nearly leaped out of his seat, stubbing out his cigarette as he frantically typed.
[You... you’re the God of Hackers?]
On the other end, Jiang Che—enjoying a candlelit dinner with Ji Ningxue—glanced at his phone.
God of Hackers?
What kind of title was that?

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'!"

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?"
