When Ye Mengyao woke up, it was already afternoon.
She slowly leaned against the headboard, her eyes slightly lowered. She didn't know what she was thinking, but then a smile flickered in her eyes.
"Jiang Che, one day I will make you fall in love with me."
Ye Mengyao picked up the pillow Jiang Che had used, held it to her nose, and took a gentle sniff before closing her eyes. The once noble daughter of the Ye family had completely fallen into darkness.
At that moment, her phone rang.
The girl picked up the phone, and it was Ye Changkong on the other end.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Ye Mengyao's voice was slightly hoarse due to overuse.
Ye Changkong didn't pay much attention to it. "Mengyao, you didn't come home last night, did you? Where are you?"
They were only now starting to panic, because according to what they knew... Jiang Che hadn't come home last night either!
This meant a man and a woman were out together... It was bound to lead to trouble!
Although Ye Changkong had a very good impression of Jiang Che, that was his daughter!
His little cabbage had just grown up, and now it was about to be snatched away. How could this old father stay calm?
"Oh... Dad, I'm fine. Jiang Che took me to a hotel last night and left. I drank too much... so I slept all day."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Changkong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Mengyao's explanation.
Thankfully, his little cabbage hadn't been taken by the pig.
Ye Mengyao had never lied to them before, so naturally, he believed her.
"Dad, I'll hang up first! I won't be coming home tonight... I'm staying at Wan'er's place."
The blackened Ye Mengyao had naturally learned how to deceive.
...
Yesterday at the banquet, Jiang Che triggered an anti-hero choice, completing it and gaining 10 years of internal energy, as well as an SSS-level piano skill!
In an instant, Jiang Che's strength skyrocketed.
He directly jumped from Late Stage Dark Force to Perfect Stage Dark Force!
He had accumulated a total of 15 years of internal energy, which meant... even with his talent, it would have taken him at least 15 years of hard training to reach Perfect Stage Dark Force.
By then, his kids would probably be old enough to make soy sauce.
So, the System Daddy is truly amazing!
The SSS-level piano skill was useless to Jiang Che, the big anti-hero. He was just a rough guy...
What would he need a piano skill for?
...
Jiang Che was satisfied, but someone else was in great distress.
Lin Yu had once again arrived at the underground boxing arena.
Ever since a few days ago, when he met that man in a suit, he had followed him to the underground boxing arena to fight in illegal matches.
With his strong Middle Stage Dark Force cultivation and the blessing of the protagonist's halo, he had become invincible in the arena!
Now he had a new name: Emperor Yu.
In just one week, he had fought nine matches and won them all.
He had clearly become a rising star in the underground boxing world.
However, at this moment, this 'Emperor Yu' was in a very low mood.
Somehow, he felt that he had lost something very important. After a day and a night, Ye Mengyao must have already lost her innocence to Jiang Che.
"Damn Jiang Che! How dare you bully my woman? I will definitely tear you apart!"
Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with the desire to kill Jiang Che immediately.
Mengyao, I won't despise you. I know you don't like Jiang Che. I'm already working hard to build my own career...
Lin Yu began to fantasize about accumulating his initial wealth through the underground boxing arena, then rapidly building his network of connections, ultimately crushing Jiang Che and standing before Ye Mengyao as the victor.
After so many fights, he had faintly touched the threshold of Late Stage Dark Force.
He was convinced that as soon as he entered Late Stage Dark Force, Jiang Che would not be his opponent!
However, just as he was fantasizing, a voice interrupted him.
"Your next match is coming up. Get ready. Tonight, you're facing the reigning champion, a martial artist at Late Stage Dark Force."
Lin Yu's expression turned serious. Late Stage Dark Force?
Facing a Late Stage Dark Force opponent with his current strength would definitely put him at a disadvantage, but he wasn't afraid!
He had a feeling... he needed to face the most critical situations to break through on the spot!
Burning the bridges behind him had always been his specialty!
"Alright, I'll take this match."
The man in the suit was grinning from ear to ear. Lin Yu was the one he had introduced, so he was well aware of Lin Yu's strength—just Middle Stage Dark Force. But he had reported Lin Yu as Late Stage Dark Force!
So, Lin Yu definitely couldn't beat the opponent!
But now, he had hyped Lin Yu up to the skies, spreading rumors about how he could defeat Perfect Stage Dark Force opponents in one move.
And he was about to bet five million on the opposing fighter, sure to make a killing!
In the face of money, selling out Lin Yu was nothing!
...
Meanwhile, in the backstage of the boxing arena.
A fat and a thin man were chatting idly. Wang Zheng had his arms around two scantily clad ring girls, munching on sunflower seeds. Although Wang Zheng wasn't particularly good-looking... he had money and power!
"Huh? Monkey, take a look at that guy. He looks familiar!" Wang Zheng's expression gradually turned serious.
Liu Tie also straightened up, narrowing his eyes.
"Lin Yu? We haven't been to the boxing arena for a few days... Lin Yu actually got in?"
"I thought a new boxer was joining the arena and was planning to check it out, but it's Lin Yu?"
Liu Tie nodded. "Jiang Shao was indeed prescient. He said Lin Yu would set up a stall, and he did. Now he said Lin Yu would come to the boxing arena to fight illegal matches... and it turned out to be true!"
Liu Tie's admiration for Jiang Che rose to a new level.
"So... Monkey, should we mess with him?" Wang Zheng's face showed a twisted smile.
"Hehehe—"
. 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!
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
