"So? Have you made up your mind? Work for me... and the benefits will be immense."
"Once the Boundary Gate of the Future loosens, countless powerhouses from the Nine Heavens and Myriad Races will descend. Don’t you want to rely on their essence blood... to walk a unique path of evolution?"
Jiang Che pinched a drop of essence blood between his fingers, his voice dripping with temptation.
Xu Rong didn’t even hesitate before switching sides!
Jiang Che was a cultivator at the Martial God stage, and he had such a powerful master backing him.
In the early stages of the spiritual revival, he could practically walk around unchallenged!
Even in the later stages, when the two realms connected and the superpowered leaders of the Destiny Seekers Association descended to hold him accountable, he could still find a way to absolve himself.
Perfect!
"Boss! From now on, I’ll charge ahead for you, even if it means spilling my brains and guts!"
Xu Rong immediately dropped to his knees.
Jiang Che: "..."
Seriously? Is your education level this low? Are these the only two idioms you know?
Jiang Che raised his hand and casually tossed the essence blood toward Xu Rong.
"Th-thank you, Young Master Jiang!" Xu Rong even kowtowed several times before accepting the drop of Qiu Lin’s essence blood.
Truthfully, he hadn’t expected to receive Qiu Lin’s essence blood—he would’ve been satisfied with just ordinary blood. But of course, ordinary blood couldn’t compare to essence blood.
[Ding! Host has refined a drop of extremely impure dragonkin essence blood.]
[Ding! System is analyzing... Analysis complete!]
[System has successfully purified the bloodline, obtaining a low-grade dragon bloodline and the dragon racial skill ‘Dragonflame.’ Would you like to fuse with it?]
Xu Rong was so ecstatic upon hearing the system’s voice that he nearly lost control, itching to fuse with the bloodline immediately!
This was the first time he had obtained the bloodline of a true otherworldly race—before this, he’d only gotten abilities from ordinary animals.
Once he fused with the dragon bloodline, his strength would likely break through to the Divine Passage realm.
Meanwhile, Qiu Lin’s heart was bleeding!
Why? This isn’t fair!
We both surrendered, knelt, and swore to charge ahead and spill our brains and guts—so why does this guy get treated so much better?
But in front of Jiang Che, a Martial God, he didn’t dare make a single move.
"Oh? You actually purified it into a low-grade dragon bloodline? Your system’s tier must be quite high!"
Jiang Che nodded to himself.
Instantly, Xu Rong felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen solid!!!
How? How could he know that my system purified a low-grade dragon bloodline?
"Young Master Jiang..."
The deputy leader of the Human Pavilion was so terrified he couldn’t even speak.
Clearly, this guy must also have a system—and his system was likely far superior to his own!
What’s the point of even trying?!
If you’d shown this kind of power earlier... I would’ve surrendered ages ago!
Now even his system was laid bare, with no privacy whatsoever.
"Hmph... No need to ask why. Work for me, and the benefits will be immense. My master has given me plenty of exotic spirit essence blood..."
With a wave of his hand, countless small vials floated into the air.
Each vial contained a drop of blood in a different color.
These essence bloods radiated terrifying pressure, and faintly visible illusions manifested—true dragons, immortal phoenixes, even legendary creatures like the Kunpeng and the Five Spirits.
"This—"
Xu Rong felt his entire body screaming in excitement!
[Beep beep beep! System has detected ‘True Dragon Heart’s Blood,’ ‘Phoenix Nirvana Blood,’ ‘Kunpeng True Blood’...]
Xu Rong’s legs were shaking uncontrollably. If the system confirmed it, then these had to be real!!!
But little did he know, all these essence bloods were just illusions conjured by Jiang Che.
Jiang Che’s divine-grade special effects could even deceive the Heavenly Dao!
A low-tier system naturally couldn’t see through it.
"Young Master Jiang!!!!!"
If Xu Rong had still harbored any rebellious thoughts before, now he was utterly and completely loyal!
"Alright, alright, scram already."
Xu Rong gave an awkward chuckle.
But in his heart, he was more determined than ever—he would cling to Jiang Che’s thigh no matter what. That was True Dragon essence blood! If he wanted to grow stronger in the future, he’d have to rely on Young Master Jiang.
Even the scraps from Jiang Che’s fingernails would be enough to make him burst.
Before leaving, Jiang Che made one last stop at the mermaid tribe’s gathering place.
Qiu Lin and the others followed closely behind, giving off the vibe of executives inspecting company operations.
"Qiu Lin! Take good care of these little mermaids. Train a group of singing and dancing mermaids—once the Dragon Palace is built..."
Jiang Che pointed at the mermaids. While their looks weren’t exceptional, they were certainly pleasing to the eye!
Imagine a grand Dragon Palace filled with singing, dancing mermaids serving you, along with a beautiful Dragon Princess—ready to roleplay as a Dragon Knight anytime. Just thinking about it was enough to make him float in ecstasy.
"Uh... No problem! Rest assured, I’ll train an outstanding group of mermaid maids for you!"
Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction before leaving the Dragon Palace.
This trip had been quite fruitful.
He’d recruited Xu Rong without spending a single point!
As for Qiu Lin, whether he submitted or not didn’t matter—Jiang Che was more interested in the Dragon Princess behind him.
Dragon Knight... Just the thought was tantalizing!
"Husband~~~"
Right then, Mo Lianxing’s figure materialized from the Spirit Nurturing Ring.
Her appearance had changed once again—this time, she had transformed into a stunningly beautiful mermaid!
Her deep blue hair flowed like seaweed, and her pupils were a mesmerizing Klein blue with vertical slits, exuding an irresistible allure. Unlike ordinary mermaids who flaunted their headlights in skimpy bikinis, she wore a light gauze that accentuated her perfect curves.
The only difference was her lower half—a massive fish tail covered in blue scales that shimmered with rainbow hues under the sunlight.
"Damn, you really unlocked a new skin!"
Jiang Che gasped before reaching out to touch Mo Lianxing’s tail. It felt just like the real thing!
"Of course~ Since Husband has already paid, I must provide top-tier service."
Mo Lianxing smiled coquettishly. This woman had mastered the art of seduction without even being taught—her charm was flawless.
Her soft, delicate voice alone was enough to melt Jiang Che’s bones.
"Ahem, Lianxing, if you have something to say, say it quick. Your husband still needs to go home and cook..."
Despite his words, Jiang Che scooped Mo Lianxing into his arms.
Though her mermaid tail was covered in scales, the texture wasn’t rough—instead, it was surprisingly soft.
Mo Lianxing rolled her eyes. She had this man completely figured out—he was a total pervert!
"Husband~ About that True Dragon essence blood and Phoenix essence blood you showed earlier... Can I take another look?"
Mo Lianxing batted her big, beautiful eyes, brimming with anticipation.
Jiang Che smirked. "That depends on your performance!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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)
