"What? Brother Jiang Che, am I really this amazing? I have the Divine Music Physique?"
Qiangwei covered her small mouth in shock upon learning about her unique constitution.
Though she didn’t understand what a "Divine Physique" truly meant, after hearing Jiang Che's explanation... her physique was extraordinary, and she could even become a supreme powerhouse in the future?
Instantly, Qiangwei couldn’t suppress the excitement bubbling inside her.
She wasn’t afraid of being ordinary—what she feared was being unworthy of Jiang Che and embarrassing him someday.
"That’s right, my dear. You can cultivate through the guqin..."
After Jiang Che’s words, Bai Qiangwei’s heart swelled with anticipation.
Even the piano she had learned before—she hadn’t been particularly interested in it, only playing to make Jiang Che happy.
"Heh, silly girl!"
Jiang Che gently patted Qiangwei’s head.
No wonder he could maintain a harem—these girls were all so gullible, falling for his tricks one after another!
...
It wasn’t just Qiangwei. Gu Lingfei, Wang Yanran, and all the other women had been summoned by Jiang Che.
Qin Qiaoqiao, Ye Mengyao, Yu Wan'er, Bai Jie, Bai Qiangwei, Chen Ningshuang, Gu Lingfei, Ji Ningxue, Leng Ningqiu, Wang Yanran, Shen Yu, Su Mianmian, the two catgirls Huangdou and Fen, and even the Xiao triplets!
Oh, and Dong'er had been brought along too!
With this, all of Jiang Che’s women were gathered in one place.
The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
But as long as Jiang Che wasn’t embarrassed, the embarrassment belonged to everyone else.
[Darling... you truly live up to being the Solar Divine Physique.]
Jiang Che smirked. "Stay humble, stay humble."
As long as Young Master Jiang remained unbothered, the discomfort was everyone else’s problem.
"Ahem... the Dragon Palace is complete. From now on, we’ll be moving there."
Jiang Che didn’t dare activate his clairvoyance—this scene was the ultimate harem battlefield! If not for the "Harem Master" title suppressing the chaos, this household would’ve fallen apart long ago.
He could already feel the weight of numerous resentful gazes.
"I’ve built a teleportation gate connecting the Jiang residence to the Dragon Palace."
"Right here!"
Jiang Che pointed to the small teleportation array in the courtyard, its circular formation leading into a void.
"Come, let me show you the wonders of the underwater world!"
With that, he scooped up Yu Wan'er and stepped straight into the portal.
Ye Mengyao and the others quickly followed.
"Sister Shen Yu, let me help you..." Qin Qiaoqiao obediently offered her arm to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was currently the Jiang family’s most treasured gem—the first to be pregnant, her unborn child absolutely irreplaceable.
Shen Yu: "......"
Nearly all the girls entered the portal, except for Huangdou, who sat clutching a salted fish pillow, staring at the teleportation array in terror, refusing to move.
Jiang Che simply hoisted her onto his shoulder and carried her in.
"Master... don’t wanna go, meow!"
"The Dragon Palace has big fish jerky."
"Want big fish jerky, meow..."
......
Truthfully, this was Jiang Che’s first time seeing the completed underwater Dragon Palace as well!
Just as he had envisioned, the palace’s scale had expanded nearly tenfold from its original design.
Its area rivaled hundreds of Forbidden Cities, its architecture grand and majestic, exuding an unparalleled aura.
"Wow, Brother Jiang Che, I can actually breathe underwater? This is amazing!"
Xiao Sisi marveled, feeling like a fish exploring the ocean depths.
"Mn, the Water-Repelling Pearl. I embedded its power into all your bracelets."
"Oh!" Xiao Sisi didn’t understand what a Water-Repelling Pearl was, but her admiration for Jiang Che grew even stronger.
Meanwhile, Xiao An'an glanced around—the Dragon Palace bustled with marine creatures that had begun their path of cultivation.
Enlightened giant clams, shrimp soldiers, crab generals...
"Wow, such a huge mantis shrimp! Jiang Che, I want garlic butter mantis shrimp!"
Xiao An'an pointed at a distant mantis shrimp hauling a massive boulder. The creature had evolved armored plating, reaching the Soul-Forming stage with considerable intelligence.
Yet despite its cultivation, it was still being forced into hard labor!
"Huh? G-garlic butter?! I am the Mantis Shrimp General! Who dares eat me? Who can eat me?!"
The overworked mantis shrimp flared up in rage. Already furious at being enslaved by Qiu Lin, now some fool wanted to devour him?!
But the moment he saw Jiang Che, his vision darkened. During Jiang Che’s last "shopping trip" to the Dragon Palace, he had hidden in the sand and narrowly escaped.
Seems fate had caught up to him.
"Young Master Jiang... Young Master Jiang, spare me!"
Pleas were useless. Since An'an had spoken, this mantis shrimp’s fate was sealed.
As the mantis shrimp was dragged away, the other sea creatures trembled in fear, each desperately wishing to bury themselves in the sand, praying they wouldn’t be next.
...
"Divine Martial Sovereign! You’ve arrived!"
Qiu Lin scurried over, his face the picture of obsequiousness.
Noticing the women behind Jiang Che, he froze momentarily before lowering his head.
As a descendant of dragons, human women—no matter how beautiful—didn’t align with his tastes. He preferred pure-blooded dragonesses like the Dragon Princess.
Alas, even she had already been claimed by Jiang Che.
"Divine Martial Sovereign, the Dragon Palace is complete... This is a simplified replica of the Celestial Dragon Palace. Please inspect it..."
Qiu Lin gestured to the magnificent structure behind him.
At the palace’s forefront stood a colossal five-clawed golden dragon sculpture, spanning kilometers, so lifelike it was clear immense effort had been poured into it.
Who knew how many sea creatures Qiu Lin had enslaved to construct such grandeur in just a month?
The palace glittered with luminous pearls, ensuring ample light despite the ocean depths.
Most striking was the radiant pearl at its peak, shining like a miniature sun.
These were remnants of the lost Atlantis civilization—much of the materials had been scavenged from its ruins to build this new palace.
The great pearl, as Qiu Lin explained, was an eternal treasure of Atlantis, its glow undimmed for millennia.
[Jiang Che, that’s a Dragon Pearl! A DRAGON PEARL!!! My heavens... an actual Dragon Pearl!]
Jiang Che: "......"
He sighed. Ever since keeping Mo Lianxing by his side, she’d been prone to exaggerated reactions every time he stumbled upon treasures.
Honestly, did she think he couldn’t recognize a Dragon Pearl?
How overdramatic.
A quick system scan would suffice.
[Ding! Detected: "Sealed Dragon Pearl"]
[Dragon Pearl: A condensed essence of a pure-blooded dragon’s cultivation, formed upon reaching the Divine Transformation stage. It contains the entirety of a dragon’s power.]
"This dragon pearl is the relic of an Ancestral Dragon, one of the Dragon Clan's most treasured artifacts."
Hmm?
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow slightly. An Ancestral Dragon's pearl?
Truthfully, Jiang Che didn’t particularly care about the Dragon Clan—what mattered was... this was a sacred treasure of their kind!
If he remembered correctly, hadn’t Qiu Lin mentioned before... that the Dragon Maiden was preparing to cross realms precisely to search for so-called Dragon Clan treasures?
. 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!"
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!
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?!
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.
