Half a day later.
Jiang Che had eliminated over a dozen so-called "fortunate women" who sought to reincarnate into Shen Yu's womb, leaving him nearly seething with frustration.
Of course, he also reaped considerable rewards—billions of points seized, along with a trove of scriptures and treasures, all of which were at least Emperor-tier.
He was a villain, after all. Despite his usual lecherous demeanor, when it came to serious matters, even the most beautiful woman in the immortal realm wouldn’t escape Jiang Che’s blade unscathed.
A child born after ten months of pregnancy, only to have its soul replaced by some transmigrator the moment it was born?
Jiang Che simply couldn’t accept that!
"Shen Yu, you saw what just happened, right? I wiped out over a dozen people trying to steal our baby’s body. Shouldn’t your affection points for me skyrocket by a few thousand?"
Jiang Che took Shen Yu’s small hand in his. Though she remained outwardly composed, her fingers trembled faintly.
"Mhm." Shen Yu nodded, pulling out a small device from her clothes that displayed a heart-rate-like graph.
"My heart rate fluctuated intensely just now. According to the algorithm... my affection for you increased by approximately 500 points. At this rate, it might not take millennia—just a few centuries—before I fall in love with you."
Her earnest expression amused Jiang Che.
This silly girl couldn’t even self-romance properly. "Take ten thousand years to fall for Jiang Che?"
Once their child was born, she’d be devoted to him within a decade, let alone ten thousand years.
The easier something was to obtain, the less people valued it. That was the principle Jiang Che lived by now—everything in the world came too effortlessly to him, which was why he sought out high-difficulty conquests.
...
After ensuring Shen Yu’s pregnancy was stable, Jiang Che went to check on his other women.
He gave the Xiao triplets a massive boost in cultivation talent, leaving even the once-defiant Xiao Wanwan utterly subdued.
Then there were Gu Lingfei, Ji Ningxue, and others, who were always buried in work.
Truth be told, Jiang Che felt a pang of guilt toward them. He really hadn’t been giving these elder sisters enough attention.
Ahem. Of course, while Jiang Che’s heart might play favorites, his... "contributions" were distributed fairly and equally. No one was left wanting.
Otherwise, Gu Lingfei and the others would surely have complaints.
"Xuexue, give me the weekly report. This quarter’s pill sales have stabilized... There’s no supply shortage."
In the office, Gu Lingfei was briefing Ji Ningxue on the company’s recent developments.
Gu Lingfei, Ji Ningxue, and the system puppet Leng Ningqiu had built a vast corporate network, managing resources for over a billion cultivators across the Dragon Country.
Everything ran like clockwork.
After finishing her tasks, Gu Lingfei removed her gold-rimmed glasses, propping her head up with one hand, exhaustion evident on her face.
Just then, Jiang Che materialized silently behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Who—?!"
Gu Lingfei erupted in fury, her Shattering Void-stage cultivation flaring like a razor-sharp blade.
Who dared to approach her so brazenly?
But the moment she recognized Jiang Che, her anger melted away, replaced by tender affection.
"Xiao Che, you scared me half to death. Shouldn’t you be off playing with your little mermaids? What brings you here?"
Tsk, tsk. Someone’s jealous!
But considering even Lingfei-jie was feeling neglected, she must’ve been bottling up some resentment.
"Lingfei-jie, why not leave these tasks to my puppets? How about you stay by my side instead?"
Jiang Che scooped Gu Lingfei into his arms and settled onto the sofa, deftly removing her shoes and socks to reveal her delicate feet.
A loli’s feet were plump and adorable, a maiden’s were slender and fragrant, but a mature woman’s feet were long and elegant—enough to make one’s waist tremble at the mere thought.
Jiang Che resumed his old pastime: giving Gu Lingfei a massage to help her relax.
Though a single pill could banish her fatigue, physical touch deepened their bond.
Gu Lingfei chuckled, stretching languidly, her curves as enticing as a ripe peach. "No thanks. I’d go stir-crazy sitting around the house fighting for your attention. Even if we ascend to the Nine Heavens someday, I’ll expand the company there and make a fortune!"
She grinned. "Once I’m rich, I’ll take care of you, okay?"
Jiang Che laughed awkwardly. Why were all his women so fiercely ambitious?
Shen Yu was like this. Gu Lingfei was like this.
"By the way, you should check on Ji Ningxue. She’s been swamped too, and at her age—over thirty—her needs are... quite demanding."
Gu Lingfei’s sudden remark made Jiang Che break out in a cold sweat.
"After all, I was the one who introduced her to you. You should treat her well."
Her voice was gentle, and it was precisely this kind of woman who evoked the most tenderness.
"Xiao Che, Lingfei-jie knows you’re destined for greatness, a man who’ll soar through the Nine Heavens. So I can’t afford to embarrass you."
"I don’t have a prestigious background, so I’ll earn my own dowry—a grand one, just for you!"
Jiang Che: "..."
Lingfei-jie, please stop. You’re making me feel like an absolute scumbag here.
This kind of talk only made his guilt worse.
He’d rather she called him a bastard than say things like this.
"Alright, alright. Just chatting with you like this is enough for me. Go see Xuexue now."
Gu Lingfei lifted a leg and gave Jiang Che’s backside a light, half-hearted kick—more playful than angry.
But Jiang Che caught her ankle before she could pull away.
"Lingfei-jie, I’ve recently mastered time compression—four days inside, one day outside. So we’ve got plenty of time..."
"Huh?" Gu Lingfei’s eyes widened.
"That’s why... I can spend more time with you now. I know I’m a scoundrel, but I can’t help it."
At this point, abandoning the others was out of the question.
"Tch. Greedy little man." Gu Lingfei rolled her eyes, but her gaze was brimming with affection.
She... would never blame Jiang Che.
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.

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?!
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)
