"Mom~ I drank too much last night..."
Zhao Li's smile widened upon hearing Ji Ningxue's words.
Nothing happened? With those hickeys all over... Who would believe nothing happened between you two?
"Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
The woman beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum before leaning closer to Ji Ningxue. "Sweetie, did you two use protection last night? Please tell me you didn’t... If you get pregnant, you’ll be set for life with the Jiang Family! That’s a real powerhouse."
"With their backing, life will be so much easier. You won’t have to work yourself to the bone anymore."
Zhao Li might be calculating, but there was no denying it—she was a devoted mother, much like Yu Wan'er’s adoptive mother.
Before Ji Ningxue could respond, Zhao Li pulled her onto the bed and drew the curtains.
"Sweetie, you’ve been married to Xiao Chen for three years and you’re still a virgin. Clearly, you’re lacking in knowledge. Mom’s been through it all—let me teach you a few tricks..."
Ji Ningxue: "......"
Sometimes, she truly felt hopeless!
......
Capital City, near Yi Garden.
By the lakeside, thousands of people had gathered, forming a bustling crowd.
At the center stood a young man dressed in flowing white ancient robes, wielding a sword with effortless grace.
Jiang Ruoxu was nothing like his former self. He hadn’t meditated or cultivated in over a month.
With a system at his disposal, why bother with traditional training? Just allocating points was way more efficient, wasn’t it?
With a casual flick of his wrist, his sword unleashed countless razor-sharp gusts of energy, so dense they seemed almost tangible. Even the falling leaves in the air were instantly pulverized.
The crowd erupted in awe.
[Ding! Host has pulled off a cool move, earning 9,000 Bravado Points.]
[Ding! 5 million viewers watched host’s live broadcast of showing off, earning 50,000 Bravado Points.]
Unconsciously, Jiang Ruoxu’s lips curled into a smirk.
He glanced at his system panel:
[Host: Jiang Ruoxu]
[Title Level: Minor Show-Off King]
[Bravado Points: 1.2 million]
That’s right—in just two months, he’d earned over a million Bravado Points just by showing off. But he hadn’t spent a single point. He was saving up to buy a Body Reconstruction Pill for his master.
The pill cost a whopping 10 million points. At first, Jiang Ruoxu thought it would take forever, but now, with live-streamed grandstanding, things had gotten much easier.
In a year or two at most, his master could regain her immortal form.
His master had shown him immeasurable kindness. He had to work hard, buy her the best Body Reconstruction Pill, and maybe even give her a huge surprise!
[Master, Master, check this out! That sword technique was my own creation!]
Inside the ring, Mo Lianxing—a stunning soul in spectral form—let out a bored yawn, her flawless face twisting in mild disdain. Her disciple... was such a child. No, scratch that—he was a child!
As a soul, she had no way to replenish her spiritual energy without Soul Nurturing Pills. Every time she woke up, she was draining her own essence.
And yet, this idiot disciple of hers kept yapping away, annoying her to no end.
Though lately, her little disciple seemed to have stumbled upon some kind of fortuitous encounter?
His cultivation had skyrocketed—in just a few months, he’d reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Well, whatever. At least this meant she could worry less.
"Yaaawn... so sleepy~~~"
Mo Lianxing stretched lazily, her ethereal beauty enough to captivate the mortal world.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruoxu continued his one-man show.
But just as he was mid-performance, several figures stepped through the crowd.
They carried katana on their backs and wore traditional white Japanese martial arts uniforms—clearly warriors from the Land of Blossoms.
"Hey, you Dragon Country rookie! I challenge you!"
The moment these words were spoken, countless eyes turned toward them.
The lead warrior stood with his katana strapped to his back, exuding an air of arrogance.
Jiang Ruoxu was annoyed. Nothing pissed him off more than being interrupted mid-performance.
But when he saw they were warriors from the Land of Blossoms, excitement surged through him.
Finally, some opponents! He was itching for a fight—so much so that he’d love to track down Jiang Che and beat him up.
These warriors seemed decently strong. Perfect.
Jiang Ruoxu was thrilled. Not only did he have sparring partners, but they were also... well, from that country.
"Are you sure? Absolutely sure you want to fight me?" Jiang Ruoxu asked repeatedly.
He was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. Any competent martial artist could sense the overwhelming pressure of his aura.
"Of course! You Dragon Country weaklings..."
The warriors were cocky. Clearly, it was time for the protagonist to shine.
Jiang Ruoxu got serious. Strangely, he couldn’t gauge their strength.
That meant one of two things: either they had a technique to conceal their cultivation, or they were far stronger than him.
Either way, this was a formidable opponent!
"I’m ready. Bring it on!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Ruoxu tightened his grip on his sword. His inner energy erupted, forming a translucent protective barrier as fierce gusts swirled around him.
He was not holding back.
If his opponent was this strong, pulling off a victory would net him a massive haul of Bravado Points.
The katana-wielding warriors charged at him recklessly.
"Huh? No protective barrier? Are they... Heaven Realm experts? Planning to suppress me with their martial domain?"
"Wait, I can’t sense any energy at all. Are they body-refining masters who’ve reached perfection?"
"No way. This has to be a trap. I’m going all out!"
With that, Jiang Ruoxu channeled every ounce of his energy into a single strike.
"Celestial Descent!"
This was his ultimate technique—a martial art rewarded by the system.
It was powerful enough to withstand a strike from a Heaven Realm expert!
A terrifying storm of sword energy erupted, forming a deadly domain that slashed toward the warriors.
The crowd held their breath.
Jiang Ruoxu was beyond tense—this was the first time he’d used this move in actual combat.
But what happened next left everyone stunned.
The sword energy tore through the warriors like paper, reducing them to nothing but a fine mist of blood in an instant.
Jiang Ruoxu was dumbfounded. Wait... was his technique that overpowered?
The spectators were equally horrified. That was... brutal.
[Ding! Host has pulled off a ruthless, decisive performance, earning 1,000 Bravado Points.]
[Ding! Host has bullied the weak in style, earning 6,666 Bravado Points.]
Jiang Ruoxu finally understood—these warriors weren’t hidden experts or supreme masters.
They were just... overconfident amateurs.
And he’d annihilated them like they were nothing.
"AHHH!!! HE KILLED THEM!"
In an instant, screams erupted from the scene.
Jiang Ruoxu's scalp prickled with dread.
Damn it, he was in deep trouble now!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
