In the early hours of the morning, inside a camping tent.
Jiang Che and Wang Yanran lay side by side, gazing up at the night sky, where the scattered stars were clearly visible—even the Big Dipper could be seen.
Holding hands, they quietly enjoyed the serene and joyful moment.
Wang Yanran had already taken off her outerwear, leaving only a thin, form-fitting blouse that accentuated her flawless and exaggerated figure. She took great pride in maintaining her physique, with not an ounce of excess fat on her body.
The summer heat was mild, and a light sheen of sweat had begun to form on her skin.
"This is so nice... I wish we could just lie here forever and never have to go to work," Wang Yanran sighed.
Jiang Che chuckled softly. "Yanran-jie... why don’t you just quit your job? I’ll take care of you, how about that?"
Wang Yanran tilted her head slightly and rolled her beautiful eyes at him. "No way! I’m keeping this police job until retirement."
Jiang Che nearly lost his composure. Until retirement? Good lord... you’ve got some nerve thinking that!
Wang Yanran had already taken the Youth Elixir he had given her, which meant her appearance wouldn’t age a single day even after thirty years.
The effects of the Youth Elixir were incredibly potent—it could freeze a person’s entire appearance, including skin quality and organ function.
The only thing it couldn’t stop was lifespan. Once her time was up... no matter how young she looked or how healthy her body seemed, she would die instantly.
Forget working until retirement—if she stayed the same for even twenty more years, people would definitely start noticing something was off!
Wang Yanran was only in her mid-twenties now. By thirty-five, people might just envy her and assume she had great skincare.
At forty-five, they’d still be amazed but probably wouldn’t think too deeply about it.
But fifty-five? Sixty-five?
At that point, she’d be old enough to be a grandmother, yet still look like a young woman. That wasn’t something simple "good genes" or "skincare" could explain.
To others, she’d just be a straight-up witch.
"Yanran-jie, I’ve got a way for you to retire right now!" Jiang Che teased.
Wang Yanran raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What’s that?"
"Simple—just get pregnant," Jiang Che said bluntly.
Wang Yanran’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she flustered. "Pfft—ugh! You little... I knew nothing good would come out of that mouth of yours!"
Though she said that, deep down, she felt a flicker of delight. If she really did get pregnant with Jiang Che’s child, given her personality... she’d probably quit her job as a cop and focus on raising the baby at home.
But the thought only lasted a second before she shook her head.
It was too early for a child. While she did long for a cute baby, she didn’t want one to come so soon.
At the very least... she’d wait until she was around thirty.
Ahem. "So, Yanran-jie, what do you think of my proposal? I’d say today’s a pretty good day for it~~~"
Jiang Che took Wang Yanran’s delicate hand in his, interlacing their fingers.
Wang Yanran averted her gaze, her eyes drifting elsewhere.
......
"Damn it all! I can’t believe this—mass borrowing from online loans? Are you kidding me?!"
In an office, a middle-aged man in a blue-collar suit and tie slammed his fist on the desk in fury.
It was none other than Loan Man.
He was absolutely livid. Normally, he was the one seeking out people to take loans, and the only ones qualified to sign contracts with him were those with great fortune.
Through loans and debt contracts, he could enforce his most overpowered passive skill—as long as he was in the process of collecting a debt, he was completely invincible.
This meant... the more people who owed him money, the more invincible he became.
If the entire world was in debt to him, he’d be unstoppable wherever people existed.
When he first heard that tens of thousands of people had taken out loans from him, he was ecstatic—thinking it was a massive opportunity.
But then he realized... every single one of them was just an ordinary person!
His passive skill only activated with those who had great fortune!
With no other choice, he sent out his clones to collect the debts, only to find that every borrower was a tough nut to crack. Thousands of bodyguards from some security company surrounded his clones, refusing to pay!
Since these people weren’t blessed with great fortune, his invincibility didn’t trigger—his clones nearly got beaten to death!
Thousands of people... each borrowing at least 150,000 yuan. I just lost over a billion in one go!
"Damn it! Who the hell is the boss of this so-called Dragon King Security Company? How dare they scam me? They’ve got a death wish!"
The middle-aged man sneered and immediately began investigating.
It didn’t take long for him to find the relevant information. "Xiao Chen? So it’s you, you little punk!"
"You’re dead, you little bastard. I’ll find a way to make you owe me money!"
Losing a billion out of nowhere was not something to take lightly!
......
Jiang Che and Wang Yanran spent the night in their outdoor tent, enjoying a wild yet wonderful evening together.
"Yanran-jie, looks like you slept well last night~"
"Enough with the teasing. Just take me home already."
Wang Yanran reached out and pinched Jiang Che’s side lightly.
Jiang Che whistled playfully before driving her back to her apartment.
Only then did he return to the Jiang residence.
The Jiang household was as lively as ever. Even with Jiang Che absent, the massive villa complex was kept immaculately clean and beautiful by the maids.
As soon as he stepped inside, he spotted Dong'er sitting on the garden swing, petting a cat.
Dong'er was as expressionless as ever, dressed in adorable pajamas, her long silver hair cascading down onto the seat—giving her an air of innocent charm.
"Miss me, Dong'er?"
Jiang Che sneaked up behind her and scooped her up into his arms.
"......?"
Dong'er turned her head slightly, and for just a split second, Jiang Che caught a flicker of happiness in her eyes.
See? This is why I’m the best.
If even a girl like Dong'er—whose soul was incomplete—could be charmed, what girl couldn’t he win over?
Well... except Shen Yu.
Dong'er didn’t say a word, simply burying her face in Jiang Che’s chest.
He reached out and ruffled her soft, fluffy hair.
"Dong'er, your strength’s been stuck at mid-Grandmaster level, right? How about I help you break through tonight?"
Still carrying her, Jiang Che walked into the living room, laughing—only to bump straight into Yu Wan'er, who had just stepped out of her bedroom.
Yu Wan'er: "......"
To be honest, the moment Yu Wan'er saw Jiang Che holding Dong'er, her fragile little heart instantly soured.
A wave of panic washed over her. Had... had Jiang Che grown tired of her?
It had to be!
[Stupid playboy, stupid playboy! Waaahhh—!]
Back when she used to tease him to his face, calling him a "stupid loser" or a "jerk," she had relied on the fact that Jiang Che doted on her enough to let her get away with it.
But the moment his attention shifted away from her, the bratty tsundere immediately became insecure.
Yu Wan'er blinked her large eyes, locking gazes with Jiang Che for a good ten seconds before suddenly welling up with tears and running off in distress!
Jiang Che: "???"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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!
