Faced with Jiang Che's confident and composed demeanor, Mo Lianxing was utterly speechless.
What had Jiang Che just said?
That this Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart was actually exchanged by him from a system???
How was that possible???
How could there possibly be a system in this world capable of exchanging for a treasure of immortal-grade physique?
Wait... If that were the case, then many of Jiang Che's secrets would suddenly make sense!
For example, his sudden awakening of the Great Sun Sacred Physique, the Chaos Immortal Physique, and even the Void Immortal Physique he previously exploited to repeatedly defy the heavens.
Were they all exchanged from the system???
This was terrifying!!!
What kind of system could exchange for immortal-grade physiques? Even the legendary Heavenly Dao-level systems couldn’t produce immortal physiques, could they?
No wonder! No wonder Jiang Che was so self-assured.
From the very beginning, he knew... he was invincible. The system's rank determined everything!
Though Mo Lianxing had never seen a Heavenly Dao-level system, she had heard the legends. Every Heavenly Dao-level system was an existence of supreme rank, born from the essence of a realm’s Heavenly Dao!
But even a Heavenly Dao-level system couldn’t exchange for immortal physiques!
If such a thing were possible, why would immortal physiques be so rare across the Nine Heavens?
A rank above the Heavenly Dao?
Mo Lianxing couldn’t even fathom how high Jiang Che’s standing truly was!
But one thing was certain—she was clinging to this thigh for dear life!
...
[Since my husband is so confident, this humble wife need not say more.]
[Husband... When will you get me an immortal physique? My womb is perfectly capable of bearing a child. If you grant me an immortal physique, and with you already possessing the Chaos Immortal Physique, our baby’s talent would be absolutely monstrous...]
For the sake of an immortal physique, Mo Lianxing had even abandoned her dignity!
No wonder so many female-oriented novels featured heroines obsessed with domineering CEOs—this feeling of effortless gain was just... too intoxicating!
All she had to do was bear a child, and she’d have an immortal physique, cultivation resources, everything! Who needed anything else?
And Jiang Che wasn’t like those toxic CEOs in romance novels who constantly flip-flopped between love and cruelty.
“Heh, a baby? That depends on my mood!”
Jiang Che smirked, his lips curling. If he got this woman pregnant... she’d surely try to leverage it, using the child to elevate herself.
...
Shen Yu quickly steadied her mind and began attempting to assimilate the Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart.
System products were guaranteed to be top-tier!
Without any resistance or mishap, the Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart seamlessly merged into Shen Yu’s body.
There were no terrifying phenomena, nor any signs of possession as Mo Lianxing had warned—just flawless fusion.
Shen Yu’s brows furrowed slightly as wisps of radiant light coiled around her. Slowly, she opened her eyes.
Her once-black irises had now changed color.
Her pupils shimmered in Klein blue, as if containing the vastness of mountains and rivers, exuding an unfathomable mystique.
Shen Yu had always been unnervingly calm, a being of absolute rationality.
Now... she was even colder!
Jiang Che felt like he’d stepped on a landmine.
The Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart had amplified Shen Yu’s aloofness.
“Uh... Xiao Yu’er, you weren’t actually possessed, were you?”
Shen Yu blinked twice, then shook her head.
“No. My mind feels clearer, as if I can process more complex problems.”
“It seems my mental capacity has expanded, and my strength has improved as well. This Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart likely enhances cognitive abilities.”
Jiang Che: “......”
How could it be that simple?
This was an immortal-grade Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart! Boosting intellect was probably just its most basic function.
“Xiao Yu’er, aren’t you going to thank your husband? This Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart drained my entire fortune—I’ve got zero system points left now.”
Jiang Che took Shen Yu’s delicate hand in his.
The girl paused, then lowered her head.
But instead of seeing her feet, all she saw was her own pregnant belly.
Shen Yu seemed to ponder. With the Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart, her emotional intelligence had skyrocketed. Then, rising on her tiptoes, she leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Jiang Che’s lips.
Jiang Che: “???”
He touched his lips, utterly stunned.
To be honest, this was the first time Shen Yu had ever initiated a kiss.
Tsk tsk tsk, what did this mean?
Even Shen Yu was starting to fall for him. Was there any woman Jiang Che couldn’t conquer?
So what if you were born emotionally detached? You’d still develop feelings for me eventually!
“Jiang Che, is it because of the child... that you treat me differently?”
Shen Yu calmly dropped the ultimate bombshell!!!
Jiang Che froze. This was a lethal question!
If any other man faced this, they’d immediately sweet-talk their way out—wife comes first, child second.
But Shen Yu wasn’t like other girls. She was ruthlessly logical and wouldn’t be easily placated.
“The child is part of it, but Shen Yu, do you remember why I insisted on getting you pregnant in the first place?”
“You’re too rational. I knew winning your heart through normal means would be nearly impossible, so I used the child.”
“Yes, I admit it was underhanded—I wanted to tie you down with a baby.”
The Love Guru—Jiang Che—was back in action!
He’d answered her question... but also hadn’t.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yu spoke.
“Thank you. I... I like this child.”
“Heh... We’re practically an old married couple now. Guess what—boy or girl?” Jiang Che’s heart swelled. Seeing Shen Yu smile made that billion-point expenditure worth it!
Once, he couldn’t understand why ancient kings would foolishly ignite beacon fires for their concubines. But now he got it—
Question the fool, understand the fool, become the fool!
“Boy or girl...” Shen Yu murmured, resting a hand on her belly.
Suddenly, she flinched, her usually serene face flashing with alarm.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Che moved closer.
“The baby... the baby moved!”
“Silly girl, you’re usually so sharp. Why so clueless now? That’s just fetal movement—nothing to panic about.”
Jiang Che gently placed his hand on Shen Yu’s stomach. The movement was faint, barely noticeable yet.
Shen Yu looked up, catching Jiang Che’s profile.
His features were undeniably striking—a face like jade, the very image of noble grace.
For just a moment, Shen Yu felt something she’d never known before—a sense of family.
A family of three: Jiang Che, herself, and the life growing inside her.
Her always-calm heart was thrown into chaos once more.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
