Jiang Che was still very responsible.
Unlike some scumbags who would just leave after getting what they wanted.
"Your cooking skills are simply unacceptable! Where’s the head chef of the Xiao Family? Get out here!"
At the dining table, Jiang Che, who had already "eaten his fill," began scolding the staff.
"J-Jiang... Young Master Jiang, I... I’m the head chef!"
The head chef trembled in fear, having witnessed this young master’s terrifying power firsthand. To a god-like figure like him, killing her in a fit of anger would be no different from squashing an ant—no consequences whatsoever.
Jiang Che pointed at the lavish feast prepared on the table.
While he and Xiao Sisi had been "cultivating" all afternoon, the Xiao Family’s kitchen staff had been busy preparing an extravagant spread—over thirty dishes, fit for royalty.
"Is this the kind of slop you usually feed my Sisi? Are you raising pigs here?"
Jiang Che’s voice carried a hint of anger, as if he were genuinely furious.
Xiao Sisi, sitting beside him, tugged lightly at his sleeve and whispered, "Jiang Che, I’m not a pig~"
Still, her little face was beaming with happiness.
Jiang Che cared about her—she was clearly the most special girl in his heart. Otherwise, why would he get so worked up over something so trivial?
"Jiang Che, it depends on who’s cooking, right? Compared to your god-tier culinary skills... of course the kitchen’s dishes seem ordinary. But they’re still pretty tasty!"
Though Xiao Sisi could be a bit airheaded, her emotional intelligence was surprisingly sharp.
Her words filled the head chef with gratitude. The young mistress had saved her life!
"Y-Yes! Young Master Jiang, you’re a culinary deity—we could never compare to you..."
"Enough with the flattery. Get lost!" Jiang Che waved them off.
He wasn’t actually angry—he just used them as props to boost Xiao Sisi’s affection.
Jiang Che had a knack for handling girls’ emotions. Most were creatures of feeling, thriving on emotional validation.
Give them the right kind of attention, and they’d be over the moon in no time.
"Jiang Che, if you really like Wanwan... I can help you win her over," Xiao Sisi said between bites of food.
She was just an ordinary girl, unlike the others around Jiang Che.
The girls close to him had undergone multiple physical enhancements—even the "frailest" among them, Yu Wan'er, was now incredibly resilient.
But Xiao Sisi? After a long day, she was starving.
"Oh? What a generous sister you are!" Jiang Che chuckled.
Xiao Sisi shrugged. "What else can I do? Wanwan isn’t interested in boys. If she ends up going down the wrong path... I’d rather entrust her to you. At least then I’d feel at ease~~~"
Jiang Che smirked. "Sisi, you really see right through me!"
...
Jiang Che stayed at the Xiao Family for three whole days!
He maxed out Xiao Sisi’s affection—if there were a "likeability meter," hers would’ve been overflowing.
"Triplets with a psychic connection... This isn’t just triple the fun anymore."
"These sisters are mine!"
A shameless grin spread across Jiang Che’s face.
After leaving the Xiao Family, he didn’t return to the Jiang residence. Instead, he headed straight to the police station to find Wang Yanran.
Due to the recent spiritual resurgence, law enforcement across the Dragon Country was swamped.
When people gained extraordinary power, ambition inevitably followed.
Online, netizens often joked about the "warrior race" in a certain northern country, but the truth was... the Dragon Country’s people were the real fighters—against heaven, earth, and each other.
Why else would firearms be banned?
Now, with spiritual energy surging, crime rates in many areas had skyrocketed.
...
"Ugh, stop bothering me!" Wang Yanran snapped, her temper flaring.
Her period had just started, and work was piling up relentlessly.
"Yanran, have you been practicing the 'Emperor’s Scripture' lately?"
"The Emperor’s Scripture? Yeah, I have. Tons of people are training with it now. But since I’m already a martial artist at the Transforming Jin stage, the early stages don’t boost my power much."
Her mood stabilized slightly.
Her current strength? Entirely thanks to Jiang Che’s... "rigorous training."
He’d secretly given her numerous life-saving measures—even a Heaven-Breaking expert wouldn’t be able to scratch her.
"It’s not just me. The higher-ups are pretty lenient about the Emperor’s Scripture too. They’re not restricting it. The era of spiritual resurgence might truly be upon us."
As she spoke, her expression grew serious.
"Jiang Che, did you know? It’s not just humans—countless plants and animals are mutating due to the spiritual energy. The whole world is scrambling to deal with it. At this rate, in half a year, many creatures could evolve intelligence and power rivaling humans."
"That’s why the Dragon Country isn’t banning the Emperor’s Scripture. Universal cultivation... at least gives people a head start in the coming upheaval."
Jiang Che nodded. He wasn’t worried—his hidden cards were endless. Even if a true Nirvana-stage expert descended from the Nine Heavens, he had ways to deal with them.
"Also, the Dragon Country recently established a 'Cultivator Management Association.' Any powerful cultivator can join..."
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. Seems the higher-ups had been preparing for this.
A Cultivator Management Association? How could the Dragon Country dare to regulate powerful cultivators? They must have their own trump cards.
If you’re not strong, who’d listen to you?
"Yanran, why haven’t you joined the Cultivator Association yet?"
"Ugh—I already did. With my strength, I shouldn’t qualify, but my dad pulled strings to get me in. So annoying. I just want to be a regular cop."
Jiang Che: "......"
"Yanran, it’s basically the same thing. Cultivators committing crimes, you arresting them... How’s that different from being a cop?"
"But Yanran, you’re pretty weak in the Cultivator Association, right? Want your hubby to give you some... special training? Guaranteed to make you a Grandmaster by tomorrow! I’ll even teach you a few spells—you’ll be unstoppable, even if you switch to the Association!"
Wang Yanran rolled her eyes. She knew exactly what his "special training" entailed—after all, her current Transforming Jin-level strength was entirely his doing!
"I’m on my period right now. Go find your little girlfriends for your special training!"
Tsk tsk. Jealousy? The icy police beauty actually had a jealous side?
"Yanran, what are you talking about? I was just about to teach you how to cultivate immortality and enter the Dao. What’s going on in that head of yours? Are you filled with nothing but dirty thoughts?"
Wang Yanran: "......"
Oh, wonderful. Turning the tables on me now, huh? Classic Jiang Che.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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?!
