To be honest, looking at the cynical Chi Nai, Yu Wan'er actually felt a bit guilty.
This girl was a bit too foolish—clearly a peak-level powerhouse at the Divine Connection realm, yet she had no cunning whatsoever. How could such a naive little fool possibly succeed in assassinating that big bad wolf, Jiang Che?
Yu Wan'er glanced down at the cold, gleaming venomous serpent blade in Chi Nai's hand. It could unleash the might of the Nirvana stage?
So what?
Jiang Che had way too many defensive treasures. Even if this was a powerful artifact, even if a Nirvana-stage expert personally showed up... chances were, Jiang Che would still bend them to his will.
Wasn’t Mo Lianxing a Nirvana-stage powerhouse? And now, wasn’t she following Jiang Che around every day?
Chi Nai sheathed her poisoned blade and walked over to Yu Wan'er, her delicate face filled with sympathy.
"Don’t worry, I will definitely help you kill that scoundrel. First, you need to cooperate with me in finding Jiang Che. Once this venomous serpent blade even grazes his spiritual energy, the poison will seep into his meridians and kill him within three breaths."
"Oh! Then... thank you, sister." Yu Wan'er lifted her gaze, her large, watery eyes brimming with gratitude.
If Yu Wan'er ever entered the entertainment industry, she’d undoubtedly be an Oscar-worthy actress!
Chi Nai lowered her eyes. She had originally planned to kidnap Yu Wan'er and use her as bait to lure out Jiang Che, but now, seeing how pitiful Yu Wan'er was, her sympathy got the better of her.
She could already picture the tragic scenes—an innocent, lovely girl abducted by a demonic man, locked away in a dark room... subjected to endless torment and humiliation. Just the thought of it made her heart ache.
......
Meanwhile, Jiang Che stretched his limbs.
He exchanged some points in the system for a Nine Tribulations Heaven-Mending Elixir.
The Nine Tribulations Heaven-Mending Elixir was a celestial-grade pill, worth a staggering twenty million points per pill. It could replenish innate vitality and was the ultimate restorative. A treasure like this could incite wars among emperors in the Nine Heavens, yet in Jiang Che’s hands, it was just another snack.
He’d been working hard lately, expending a lot of energy. Though his Solar Saint Physique could handle it, he still needed a few elixirs to replenish himself.
Of course, a pill like this was a supreme treasure even for emperors. Jiang Che probably couldn’t even refine one ten-thousandth of its medicinal efficacy, but that didn’t stop him from splurging!
Young Master Jiang lacked many things these days, but points and resources weren’t among them.
After all, he had an army of top-tier workers and countless elders (read: leeks) to exploit!
Just then, Jiang Che received a call from Yu Wan'er.
"Hey... Jiang Che, where are you? I... I kind of miss you!" Yu Wan'er’s voice was hesitant, almost guilty.
"Oh? What’s wrong? Missing me... that doesn’t sound like something you’d say." Jiang Che smirked.
Yu Wan'er was notoriously stubborn. If she was truly lonely, she’d never say it outright—she’d either sneak into his bed or straight-up pounce on him.
In short, she was a textbook tsundere!
Unless she was drunk, she’d never bare her heart like this.
"J-Jiang Che, just come over, okay? I... I’m at the Dragon Palace. I really miss you!" Her voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. "I’m coming."
And the next second—
Jiang Che teleported right beside Yu Wan'er.
"Uh..."
The moment he appeared, Jiang Che spotted Chi Nai standing next to Yu Wan'er, and his eyes lit up.
He definitely remembered this girl—he’d overheard her thoughts back at the Altar Gate.
[How... how did he get here? Why didn’t I sense anything?]
[Jiang Che! Has his power grown this terrifying already?]
Chi Nai clenched her fists, the pressure instantly mounting.
Jiang Che’s strength far exceeded her expectations.
Heh, of course he was strong. Jiang Che sneered inwardly.
He had mastered the laws of spatial Dao. A mere few dozen miles was nothing—he could teleport in an instant.
The terror of dual immortal physiques was something Jiang Che knew all too well. Add in the buffs from his True Immortal Mark, and aside from his unborn child, there probably wasn’t anyone in the Nine Heavens with talent surpassing his.
"Wan'er, didn’t you say you missed me? Why’d you bring another girl along?"
Jiang Che chuckled, his demeanor warm as spring.
[Hey, hey, Jiang Che, listen up—this girl is here to assassinate you. She’s got some kind of Nirvana-stage superweapon from the Crimson Molten Gold Python Clan, coated in deadly poison. Be careful!]
On the outside, Yu Wan'er looked pitiable, seemingly terrified of Jiang Che. But in her mind, she was communicating with him flawlessly.
She was sharp—she knew Jiang Che could hear thoughts, so she didn’t even bother with telepathy.
[Hmph, Jiang Che, I brought this girl here myself. Since you’re the type of man who loves the new and forgets the old... you... you can’t stay mad at me anymore!]
Yu Wan'er was still hung up on her last tantrum.
[Oh? Mad at you? You little brat... just needs a good ‘spanking’ to behave!] Jiang Che mocked.
[...]
Hearing his words, Yu Wan'er’s heart instantly lightened. She’d much rather Jiang Che be rough with her than give her the cold shoulder.
And by rough, she meant really rough.
[Hey, hey, stupid Jiang Che, pay attention. This little fool is pretty gullible—I’ve already tricked her. She won’t be a threat to me for now, but watch out for her weapon. She’s a rose with thorns.]
"Hah, that’s my Wan'er for you..."
[Pfft~~~]
Just as Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er bickered, Chi Nai seized the moment Jiang Che seemed distracted.
In an instant, she lunged forward, activating the blade hidden in her sleeve.
A thick black mist erupted from the poisoned weapon, filling the air with a foul stench. A massive toxic domain formed, and from within the miasma, an enormous serpent emerged—its head alone was as large as a small mountain.
"ROAR!!!"
The power of the Nirvana stage, and a venomous one at that!
At the same time, Mo Lianxing drifted out from Jiang Che’s Spirit Nurturing Ring. Of course... faced with such terrifying energy, she showed no trace of panic.
[Darling, this is a weapon forged from the fangs of the Crimson Molten Gold Python Clan, emitting Nirvana-stage energy... would you like me to handle it?]
"Up to you~"
[But darling, the toxic domain released by this blade is lethal even to its wielder. Your little Wan'er has the saint-grade treasures you gave her for protection, but your new little sweetheart here is in for a rough time~~~]
Mo Lianxing’s voice dripped with amusement.
Clearly, the "little sweetheart" she referred to was Chi Nai.
And right now, Chi Nai was stunned—because the moment she awakened the blade, it stopped obeying her and began turning against her!
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
