Jia Ling'er was no match for an old fox like Jiang Che.
With just a slight effort, he had already managed to completely bewilder the girl.
As for Yu Wan'er, the ultimate tool in his arsenal?
Jiang Che wasn’t the least bit worried about whether she might harbor resentment—this girl was far too clever for that.
At most, she’d curse him in her heart to vent her frustration, only to bounce back to her lively self within a few days.
"Jiang Che... let go of my hand."
Jia Ling'er was now extremely resistant to Jiang Che's touch, terrified that she might actually fall for him.
Falling in love with the enemy out of hatred, only to face her own impending doom—even tragic romance novels wouldn’t dare write something this cruel, right?
"Oh? Seems like Ling'er has her own little secrets now!"
Jiang Che deliberately flashed a smile, but Jia Ling'er only grew more tense, her once-proud princess demeanor nowhere to be seen.
"By the way, Ling'er, I wonder what your mother thinks of me!"
"From what I’ve heard, the Nine Heavens Jialan Clan holds me, their son-in-law, in high regard—except for your mother, who seems... less than pleased." Jiang Che sighed softly.
Jia Ling'er: "......"
Less than pleased?
If her mother could cross realms to intervene, the first thing she’d do is smack Jiang Che into oblivion!
Lately, her mother had been visiting her dreams frequently, making it painfully clear just how much she despised Jiang Che.
Jiang Che simply smiled without a word.
Of course, he was well aware of the Jialan Empress’s murderous intent toward him. From her perspective, he was nothing more than a kidnapper—one who could kill her daughter at any moment!
If it were him, and some punk dared to whisk his daughter away, forget severing heaven and earth—he’d hunt that bastard down through countless reincarnations and tear him to shreds!
Not even ashes would remain!
"My mother... has her reasons," Jia Ling'er murmured, lowering her head. She feared that if things continued like this, she might truly fall for Jiang Che!
And once that happened, there would be no escape from the abyss.
"Hah, what reasons? Just unnecessary meddling, if you ask me. Once your husband here ascends to the Nine Heavens, I’ll have a proper chat with your mother. With my silver tongue, I’ll make sure she changes her tune!"
Jiang Che spoke with absolute confidence.
Jia Ling'er stayed silent.
[But... that day may never come.]
She knew Jiang Che was extraordinary, but after hearing her mother’s words, she doubted he could break the curse laid by the ancestors of the Merfolk.
Even their most powerful immortal ancestors had failed to defy fate—what hope did Jiang Che have?
Yet, his unwavering concern for her made Jia Ling'er’s heart sink deeper into affection.
She felt doomed—she was about to fall head over heels!
Without the petrification curse, the proud princess would never have confronted her feelings so soon. But the curse shattered all her pride.
At first, she reacted with anger, mockery, doubt, and panic. But gradually... she began questioning whether she truly loved Jiang Che. Once that seed was planted, self-doubt took root, and she spent every dream-filled night wondering why she was falling for him!
The more she obsessed, the deeper she fell—a vicious cycle with no escape!
......
Jiang Che hadn’t been idle during this time. His physique had reached unimaginable heights!
After acquiring the Chaos Immortal Body and the Void Immortal Body, he spent billions of points to purchase a Supreme Bone and a pair of Dual Pupils.
He didn’t stop there—Immortal Qi, Flawless Body... any buff he could stack, he did.
As a result, cultivating with a treasure like Jiang Che allowed the girls’ cultivation to skyrocket!
Dong'er had already broken through to Martial God, and Yu Wan'er had just survived her Divine Ascension Tribulation a couple of days ago.
When that girl faced her tribulation, Jiang Che made sure to give her a hard time.
To exploit the Heavenly Dao’s rewards, he used illusions to mimic several immortal physiques, summoning a tribulation even more terrifying than Chu Yuan’s!
And then? Well, you know how it goes.
Jiang Che charged into the lightning, shielding Yu Wan'er with his body and taking 99.99% of the damage—left "half-dead" by the ordeal. The moment this martyr act played out, Yu Wan'er burst into tears, crying like there was no tomorrow.
But what irked Jiang Che was... despite enduring such a brutal tribulation, Yu Wan'er still didn’t manifest an immortal physique!
At best, she reached Quasi-Immortal level, making Jiang Che wonder if the Heavenly Dao was running on empty.
Had he milked it dry?
"This Heavenly Dao is pathetic. Already tapped out? Last time, it at least gave a Quasi-Immortal Body... now it can’t even manage that? All thunder and no substance—I even manifested the Devouring Immortal Demon Body, and all it coughed up was a Thousand Tribulations Unbreakable Body?"
Jiang Che grumbled, holding Qin Qiaoqiao in his arms.
At first, he’d only suspected it, but now he was sure—the Heavenly Dao was exhausted!
Before, tribulations rewarded immortal physiques. But after Yu Wan'er’s ordeal... the rewards grew increasingly lackluster. Forget immortal bodies—even the tribulation lightning had weakened significantly.
Qin Qiaoqiao, gifted the Sacred Spirit Immortal Body by Jiang Che and boosted by various buffs, only triggered a pitifully weak tribulation.
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had been drained dry by Jiang Che’s exploits. By the end, some tribulations didn’t even summon thunderclouds.
Gone. Dried up. Not a drop left!
"Jiang Che, is it... because I’m too weak?" Qin Qiaoqiao nestled in his arms, biting her lip guiltily.
"Don’t worry. Let the Heavenly Dao rest for a few days... Pathetic, calling itself the Ancestral Land’s Heavenly Dao? Can’t even handle a few rounds!"
"If I’d known it’d get drained this fast, I wouldn’t have wasted an immortal physique on that Chu Yuan. Ugh!"
Life was tough. Jiang Che sighed.
Since the Heavenly Dao was no longer reliable, he’d have to rely on his ultimate power—money!
Time to gift each of his women an immortal physique!
No questions asked—pure extravagance!!!
After scamming a massive haul of points from the Jiang Family, his reserves now sat at a whopping 5.2 billion.
Sure, it sounded like a lot, but his expenses were just as staggering!
Aside from Shen Yu, Yu Wan'er, Qin Qiaoqiao, and the five little mermaids, Jiang Che had over a dozen other ladies waiting to be spoiled.
He’d chosen this path himself. Since he’d decided to be a playboy, he’d see it through—kneeling if he had to! His women deserved nothing but the best.
"Qiaoqiao, go call Yao Yao and the others over. Your husband’s about to splurge!"
Qin Qiaoqiao blinked her big, beautiful eyes, her mouth forming a perfect "O."
"J-Jiang Che, you’re not joking, right? Calling all the sisters? Including Sister Feifei and the others?"
"Yep."
"Uh... can your body handle it? Wait—no, that’s not what I meant! I mean... isn’t our bed a bit small? Though I’m sure you’ll figure something out..." She frowned cutely.
Jiang Che: "......"
What on earth was this girl thinking?!
"It's not what you think!!! I just wanted you to call them over... so I can enhance their cultivation physiques one by one, just like I did with your immortal body... got it???"
"Ah... ah? Oh... so that's what you meant." Qin Qiaoqiao's face flushed crimson, her eyes darting awkwardly as she nibbled on her finger, utterly mortified.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
