Xu Rong had been extremely frustrated lately. In just one week, he had been assassinated five times!
Assassination attempts weren’t anything new to him—after all, as the deputy leader of the Destiny Bearers Association, he had seen his fair share of storms. But damn it... every single attacker sent after him was some low-tier nobody. Was this some kind of joke?
After fusing with the "Ancient Dragon" gene gifted to him by the association’s leader, his strength had nearly broken through to S-rank, almost reaching the half-step Shattering Heaven level.
And yet, these pathetic assassins came at him with nothing more than early-stage Grandmaster cultivation—weaklings he could crush with a single finger.
"Deputy Leader Xu, what’s wrong?" Chen Hao asked, trotting over eagerly.
"Chen Hao, go investigate who’s been hiring people to kill me."
Chen Hao’s lips twitched at the order.
Who’s hiring assassins to kill you? Well... that would be me!
Of course, he couldn’t say that out loud—unless he wanted to be strung up as a traitor and beaten to a pulp.
"Ahem, Deputy Leader, could it be that escaped Ye Qing? Maybe he’s seeking revenge?"
"Ye Qing?" Xu Rong frowned, recalling the events of that day.
That mysterious "Loan Hero" had suddenly appeared at their headquarters and taken Ye Qing right under their noses. If Ye Qing had somehow survived, it wasn’t impossible for him to come back for payback.
Just then, two black-robed figures emerged from the shadows.
Chen Hao’s eyes widened. As a Grandmaster-level martial artist, he hadn’t sensed their presence at all!
Truly, the Destiny Bearers Association was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Deputy Leader, we’ve recently discovered several new Destiny Bearers. One of them is the young master of the Jiang family in the capital—Jiang Ruoxu. He’s confirmed to possess a system, and its level is exceptionally high."
"But strangely, he seems to harbor extreme hostility toward us. The moment he heard we were from the Destiny Bearers Association, he immediately attacked. We’ve never had any direct conflict with him before."
Xu Rong frowned. "Jiang Ruoxu has close ties to Jiang Che. Don’t make a move on him yet—the Jiang family’s influence in the capital is immense."
"Deputy Leader, then what about Jiang Che? The Destiny Compass can’t trace his fate, but he’s undoubtedly a system holder, and his system’s level is terrifyingly high!"
Xu Rong shook his head again. "The leader said... Jiang Che is a Fate Reverser. He specifically targets Destiny Bearers. From the beginning—Lin Yu, the ‘Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain’ archetype, then Su Han, the ‘Mercenary Returns’ type—he’s clashed with multiple Destiny Bearers."
He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing gravely.
"The leader suspects Jiang Che’s system is designed to prey on Destiny Bearers. He can plunder their fortune to strengthen himself."
Chen Hao’s jaw nearly dropped. That... was insane!
No wonder his brother-in-law had been targeting him all this time. So that’s how it was!
"What?! Then why not eliminate him immediately? If he discovers our association... wouldn’t we just become his fuel? His harvest?" one of the black-robed men exclaimed.
Xu Rong’s eyes darkened. "It’s very possible... he’s already found us."
A chill ran down everyone’s spines at those words.
Especially Chen Hao. His heart pounded wildly—after all, within the association, he was the closest to Jiang Che. His sister was Jiang Che’s woman, and his own golden finger was the damn "Troll System."
By all accounts, he sounded like Jiang Che’s planted mole!
But he really wasn’t!!!
Sure enough, Xu Rong’s gaze soon landed on him, and the others followed suit.
In an instant, Chen Hao felt a cold sweat break out.
Sure, he was a system holder himself, but right now, he was in the heart of the Destiny Bearers Association, surrounded by powerhouses. Xu Rong alone could annihilate him without breaking a sweat.
He had seen the deputy leader’s strength firsthand—transforming into a colossal dragon, soaring through the skies, communicating with all living beings.
With a thud, Chen Hao dropped to his knees without a shred of dignity.
"Leader, I swear I’m innocent! My system may be the Troll System, but I’m not a mole! I joined the association to take revenge on Jiang Che and save my sister..."
His performance was Oscar-worthy—tears, snot, the whole package. Even the coldest hearts would’ve softened.
Xu Rong sighed. "I know you’re not lying. No one can lie within the Destiny Bearers Association."
Clearly, the association had members capable of reading minds.
"The leader has ordered that we avoid direct conflict with Jiang Che for now. His fate level is too high. We must wait until the elites from the Earth Pavilion and Heaven Pavilion descend before dealing with him. For now, we yield and endure."
"Additionally, the Destiny Compass has detected another high-level Destiny Bearer currently residing in the Zhou family of Hangzhou. See if you can recruit him."
Another black-robed figure spoke up. "Deputy Leader Xu, perhaps we can manipulate this newcomer into opposing Jiang Che—use him to test Jiang Che’s limits."
After a moment of silence, Xu Rong nodded. "Fine."
Meanwhile, Chen Hao, the unnoticed observer, suppressed his excitement. Once again, he had gathered crucial intelligence!
Truly, Chen Hao was the perfect pawn—so perfect that he didn’t even realize he was Jiang Che’s pawn.
Even if the association had mind-readers, none could uncover Jiang Che’s shadow lurking behind the scenes.
......
Jiang Che was in an awkward position.
Because Ji Ningxue had come to visit!
"Uh... Ningxue, please, have a seat!" He forced a smile, handing her a pair of slippers.
Ji Ningxue stood frozen at the doorway, fingers nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.
The massive living room before her was filled with stunning girls—some even had cat ears and tails, as if cosplaying?
On the sofa, several breathtakingly beautiful girls were playfully teasing each other, their eyes turning toward her the moment she entered.
Even the maids were dressed in frilly black-and-white Lolita outfits, their flawless legs nearly blinding her.
Ji Ningxue suddenly recalled Gu Lingfei’s words: "Welcome to the big family!"
Now she understood exactly what that meant.
Her voice trembled slightly. "They... they’re all...?"
Jiang Che remained unshaken, facing this ultimate harem showdown with absolute confidence.
If he couldn’t handle a little harem chaos, what kind of "Harem King" would he be?
Ji Ningxue could hardly believe her eyes.
She had done her research and knew Jiang Che had many girls around him.
But she had assumed it was just his natural charm—after all, exceptional men always attracted admirers.
But... but... she never imagined it would be like this!
The Real Big Family!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
