Xiao Wanwan was utterly dumbfounded.
Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law?! Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle!
[Ugh! You rotten scoundrel! I’m already holding back from cursing you out, and you want me to call you "brother-in-law"? Get lost!]
In her mind, Xiao Wanwan had already cursed Jiang Che a thousand times over. But bound by her celebrity image... she had no choice but to maintain her sweet, well-behaved facade.
Too furious to even speak!
"Wanwan-jie, stop overthinking it... come try Jiang Che-ge’s cooking! Mmm... this is pure bliss—such a huge lobster, and I get to eat my fill in one go!"
Xiao An'an’s little hands were greasy, completely devoid of any ladylike grace.
"I... I’m not hungry!" Xiao Wanwan huffed, her pride flaring.
Of course, someone as proud as her would never stoop to eating Jiang Che’s food!
But she hadn’t eaten dinner either, and now her stomach was growling in protest.
Gurgle—
Right on cue, an embarrassing rumble escaped from Xiao Wanwan’s belly. The girl couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Hehe, jiejie, don’t be so tsundere!" Xiao An'an giggled, her face lighting up. "Pride comes before a fall, you know!"
With that, the little girl pinched a large piece of garlic-buttered lobster meat and held it right in front of Xiao Wanwan’s lips. The rich aroma instantly intensified.
Xiao Wanwan: "......"
This sister of hers was truly her downfall!
"I won’t eat it... mmmph!" The moment Xiao Wanwan opened her mouth, Xiao An'an shoved the lobster meat right in.
Stuffed in one go—straight to the stomach!
Jiang Che raised a brow. Xiao Wanwan had quite the potential, huh?
As much as Xiao Wanwan hated to admit it, Jiang Che’s cooking was undeniably masterful. No matter how many times she ate it, there was always a new surprise—utterly addictive!
In the end, Xiao Wanwan still ate, albeit reluctantly, taking small, grudging bites.
The triplets standing together were a sight to behold—lethal in their combined charm.
Even Yu Wan'er had to take a step back!
"Huh? Jiang Che-ge, why is the spiritual energy in your home so dense? I just broke through a minor realm!"
Xiao Sisi, after cuddling with Jiang Che for a while, finally noticed the anomaly.
"Heh, Sisi, think about it... who do you think supplies the Spirit Stones and elixirs to the Dragon Nation’s Cultivator Association? The stuff they hand out is just the scraps..."
Jiang Che wrapped an arm around Xiao Sisi’s slender waist, speaking with a smirk.
While Xiao Sisi was unfazed by Jiang Che’s casual touches—after all, they’d long since crossed that line—Xiao Wanwan and Xiao An'an squirmed uncomfortably.
"Jiang Che-ge... Wanwan can be a little temperamental. You might have to be patient with her. An'an, though, is very well-behaved..."
Xiao Sisi whispered into Jiang Che’s ear. Though it might seem like she was throwing her sisters under the bus, the truth was... Jiang Che was their ultimate destiny.
"Heh, of course. She’s a big star—a little attitude is expected. I totally get it."
......
After dinner.
"Jiejie, we should get going!"
Xiao Wanwan wiped her lips, ready to leave now that she was full.
But would Jiang Che let them go?
"Leave? Why? The spiritual energy here is hundreds of times denser than outside, and you get to enjoy Jiang Che’s cooking every meal... Staying at the Jiang residence is the best!"
Xiao Sisi had no intention of leaving. She missed Jiang Che terribly—absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all. If not for the crowd, she’d have already thrown caution to the wind.
"Yeah, why leave? The Jiang family’s great... so much delicious food, burp—!"
Xiao An'an sprawled on the sofa, her little belly round and bloated, looking three months pregnant.
"An'an, was it good?"
Jiang Che chuckled, sitting beside Xiao An'an and casually draping a hand over her smooth, jade-like thigh.
The Xiao sisters were all petite—just a few centimeters taller than Yu Wan'er—making them a trio of legal lolitas.
And Xiao An'an, the little glutton, had plump, soft legs that felt warm and delicate to the touch.
"You—!"
Xiao An'an’s face flushed slightly as she tried to pull her leg back, but Jiang Che didn’t give her the chance.
"An'an, want to get stronger?"
Jiang Che’s voice was laced with temptation.
Xiao An'an fell silent. She’d heard from her sister... Jiang Che’s idea of "cultivation" wasn’t exactly orthodox.
But... she had no reason to refuse!
After all, Jiang Che’s cooking was unparalleled. Just the thought of enjoying a master chef’s dishes every day made resistance impossible.
"J-Jiang Che! Will you cook for me every day?"
Xiao An'an blinked her big, sparkling eyes, brimming with hope.
Jiang Che nearly facepalmed.
What a little foodie!
"Not necessarily. But if you’re craving something... I’ll make it for you."
Seriously, did she think he was a full-time chef?
Dating was like fishing—once the fish was hooked, why keep baiting it?
"Oh... then I’m in!"
Xiao An'an nodded firmly.
Watching the intimate exchange, Xiao Sisi felt no jealousy—instead, a thrill of forbidden excitement bubbled inside her.
"Wanwan, let’s stay upstairs tonight..."
Xiao Wanwan: "......"
With a sister like this, she was truly doomed!!!
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Xiao Chuan had just returned home, stretching lazily.
His face radiated pure satisfaction.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the elixir business is insanely profitable!"
Xiao Chuan’s grin never faded.
Truthfully, he’d already amassed more wealth than he could spend—he’d been the world’s richest man even before the spiritual revival.
But the sheer dominance of the elixir industry, the monopoly over the global market... that was a high he’d never experienced before.
"Heh, those foreign idiots actually hired armies of scientists to analyze the elixirs’ composition?"
Xiao Chuan smirked in disdain.
Indeed, the Dragon Nation’s elixir industry had achieved near-total monopoly. Naturally, foreign powers refused to accept this, pouring vast resources into acquiring samples, dissecting ingredients, and conducting endless research.
Yet, in the end, they came up with nothing.
Rumors even said their counterfeit batches had killed quite a few people.
In the past, Xiao Chuan had to tread carefully around foreign tycoons and financial elites. Now? Those very same people groveled just to secure a batch of his elixirs.
But the moment he remembered that this power came at the cost of his three daughters, Xiao Chuan’s conscience twisted into knots.
"By the way, where are Sisi and the others? Li the Steward, have you seen them?"
Xiao Chuan glanced at the steward standing nearby.
Li the Steward hesitated before answering, "Master, the young ladies... have all gone to Young Master Jiang’s residence."
Xiao Chuan nodded. "Oh... so they’re all at Young Master Jiang’s place..."
Then, it hit him.
He shot up from the sofa.
"WHAT?! They’re ALL at Jiang Che’s place?!!!!!"
Li the Steward’s lips twitched. "Y-yes... I heard he prepared a feast..."
Xiao Chuan: "......"
His face cycled through a spectrum of emotions before he finally collapsed back onto the sofa, utterly defeated.
"Haha... my dear son-in-law, truly a dear son-in-law indeed!"
In the end, as expected, not a single one of his three daughters managed to escape!

ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!

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!

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?!
