One-sided charity...
Xiao Chuan nearly choked on his anger. He'd been proud all his life... yet now he'd fallen to such depths!
To have his home stolen by some snot-nosed kid barely over twenty, and still have to grovel like this!
But he had no other choice left.
"Alright, old man, I'm hanging up now. An'an and I have... things to do tonight!"
As he spoke, Jiang Che leaned down to kiss the forehead of the girl nestled in his arms. Xiao An'an's face flushed red instantly. Things to do at night... what else could that mean?
Yet she understood Jiang Che's true intention.
"Daddy, you're not allowed to be mean to Brother Jiang Che anymore, or else... or else I won't call you Daddy!"
Now that she had Jiang Che, Xiao Chuan the human ATM could kiss goodbye to his usefulness.
On the other end, Xiao Chuan's heart ached even more. Hadn't he already humbled himself enough?
What kind of love potion had that little bastard Jiang Che fed An'an to make her so infatuated?
The most baffling part... An'an already knew about Jiang Che's relationship with Sisi, yet she still defended him like this?
Jiang Che picked his ear lazily. "Hey, old fossil, find time to talk to Wanwan for me. That girl's got the wrong impression of me—put in a good word..."
Jiang Che specialized in psychological warfare!
Xiao Chuan: "..."
Bullshit!
This motherfcker kept pushing his luck! He'd already compromised repeatedly, and now this bastard wanted him to help chase Wanwan too?
Was there no justice left in this world???
"Well... Young Master Jiang, matters of the heart depend on fate. You can't force love..."
"Forced love might not be sweet, but it sure quenches thirst!"
"..."
Beep beep beep—
Xiao Chuan hung up abruptly. One more minute of this and he'd risk a heart attack!
"So? Brother Xiao? What did Young Master Jiang say?"
Since Xiao Chuan wore headphones, Piao Deshuang couldn't hear Jiang Che's words. But judging by Xiao Chuan's facial expressions... the young master had clearly pissed him off royally.
"Deal's done. Jiang Che agreed to my terms. I can purchase elixirs from him now—after all, no matter what, I'm still his father-in-law! Father-in-law! Father-in-law!"
He had to say it thrice for emphasis. With all three daughters likely to be stolen by this scoundrel... wasn't he essentially the trifurcated father-in-law?
"Damn... Boss Xiao, you've struck gold!!!" Piao Deshuang trembled.
A smooth operator, he seamlessly upgraded "Brother Xiao" to "Boss Xiao."
Xiao Chuan glanced at Piao Deshuang, secretly relishing the thought. Once he built his elixir empire, who in Dragon Country's cultivation world would dare look down on him?
......
"Brother Jiang Che... were you serious earlier? About pursuing Wanwan-jie?"
Xiao An'an curled up in Jiang Che's arms like a soft, lightweight cotton ball—barely 1.5 meters tall and maybe 35 kilograms soaking wet.
"What's wrong? Jealous?"
Jiang Che gently pinched her tiny nose. Compared to her sisters, Xiao An'an was absurdly easy to woo—a few plates of fried rice had done the trick.
"Not jealous. You already have so many women anyway. You've... had Sisi-jie. I always knew you'd go after Wanwan-jie too."
She tilted her head, blooming into a radiant smile.
"Such a clever girl?"
"Oh! Brother Jiang Che, about what you said earlier... tonight... I-I might not be ready yet... No wait, I am ready!"
The girl sat up straight and patted her round little belly, signaling she'd eaten her fill and was energized!
Her adorable antics made Jiang Che chuckle.
"What nonsense are you imagining? I told you I won't 'eat' you yet. I don't want to mix other... elements into our relationship for now."
His words made Xiao An'an's eyes sparkle, elevating Jiang Che's status in her heart yet again.
"Heh..."
Jiang Che stroked her hair absently, his mind drifting to the supremely tsundere figure of Xiao Wanwan.
That girl's "bratty imp" bloodline ran purer than even Yu Wan'er's. But when it came to taming bratty imps... Jiang Che had plenty of experience.
......
"Hah~ Gotta admit, the Human Emperor Scripture outperforms the Scripture of Universal Truth by leagues!"
Lin Fan marveled inwardly.
Doubt the Human Emperor Scripture, understand it, then cultivate it.
Thanks to this scripture, his power had reached the Skyrending Stage. He could now cast grand spells and even fly on swords—covering thousands of miles daily was child's play.
But he couldn't neglect the Preaching System either.
So Lin Fan devised a perfect solution: silently reciting the Human Emperor Scripture for cultivation while simultaneously lecturing foreigners on the Scripture of Universal Truth.
Double the gains, double the rewards!
[Ding! Host successfully preached to 10 million, guiding 1 million into Qi Refining Stage. Obtained 100,000 Preaching Points...]
Hearing the system's notification, Lin Fan smirked.
His reputation overseas had grown monstrous—his combined follower count across platforms exceeded 1 billion.
"Oh my God! I actually conjured a fireball!"
"This is unbelievable! Is this the mystical power of the East?"
"Yes! This is our Great Han Nation's cultural heritage!"
"I feel unstoppable! I heard the origin of the spiritual revival is Dragon Country. Their spiritual energy is so dense—why won't they open borders and share it?"
"Rumor says Dragon Country created Spirit Gathering Arrays. We're getting less than 10% of their spiritual energy!"
"Outrageous! Spiritual energy belongs to all—it shouldn't be hoarded!"
Nearly every nation outside Dragon Country now had practitioners of the Scripture of Universal Truth. Some even hailed Lin Fan as the reincarnation of Jesus or God descended to earth.
Countless had formed organizations worshipping Lin Fan—the Church of Universal Truth.
"Pathetic! A mere million reaching Qi Refining after half a month?"
Lin Fan fumed. In cultivation, Dragon Country's people seemed inherently advantaged. With their dense spiritual energy, their progress outpaced foreigners by dozens of times.
Had he preached in Dragon Country, his Preaching Points would've multiplied tenfold.
And these idiots actually wanted to invade Dragon Country?
Dragon Country's cultivation society had stabilized. With its entire population practicing the Human Emperor Scripture, their advancement speed led other nations by decades.
Even if foreign lands birthed once-in-a-millennium geniuses progressing hundreds of times faster—so what?
Dragon Country's 1.4 billion population guaranteed prodigies of their own.
The gap would only widen. By the time Dragon Country had immortals soaring through skies, these outsiders would still be fumbling with fireballs...
+【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. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
reezy rom-com) Good news: Jiang Liu is quite the ladies' man. Bad news: He’s lost his memory. Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby." The now-lucid Jiang Liu is convinced this must be some elaborate scam... until someone drops the bombshell: "The day before you lost your memory, you confessed your feelings—and got into a relationship." Jiang Liu is utterly baffled. So... who the hell is his actual girlfriend?! ... Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes. But things spiral even further out of control as more people show up at his doorstep—each with increasingly unhinged antics. On the bright side, the memories he lost due to overwhelming trauma seem to be resurfacing. Great news, right? So why are they all panicking now?
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'!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
