Watching Wang Lili leave, Qin Qiaoqiao felt deeply hurt.
She hid herself in her blanket and started contacting Jiang Che.
Jiang Che was her only emotional support now. Whenever something unhappy happened, the first person she thought of was always Jiang Che.
【Jiang Che, are you asleep?】
On the other side, Jiang Che was feeding his cat. Because she had been out all night for the past two days, he had forgotten to change the cat's food, almost starving her to death.
"Are you a reincarnated hungry ghost? So greedy for food?"
Jiang Che cursed under his breath and then flicked his finger gently on her bottom.
"Meow~" The Birman cat let out a pitiful cry and then scurried into the wardrobe.
Feeling satisfied~
"Oh? Why is Qin Qiaoqiao messaging me?"
Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly.
【Missing me?】
On the other side, Qin Qiaoqiao's dull expression brightened a little upon seeing Jiang Che's reply.
【Yes, Jiang Che, I miss you so much】
【You know, I almost got scolded by my mom just now. She found your... your... underwear at home and even slapped me. It hurt so much】
The girl seemed to be acting coquettishly, seeking the love she couldn't get from her parents from Jiang Che.
Jiang Che was momentarily stunned. Underwear?
No wonder I was missing one! It must have been left at Qin Qiaoqiao's house!
Uh... that reason sounded a bit weak, considering he was a master of the Dark Force at its peak. How could he be so forgetful?
Well, he had done it on purpose!
【Qiaoqiao, she hit you? Does it still hurt? I'll have the school board fire her tomorrow!】
Jiang Che's words made Qin Qiaoqiao's heart warm. She realized she was also loved.
But Wang Lili had raised her...
"Jiang Che, it's okay. After all, she's my mom."
Qin Qiaoqiao forced a bitter smile.
【Alright, Qiaoqiao, be more confident. If someone bullies you, tell me】
Jiang Che knew how to comfort little girls like a pro. For a skilled playboy, sweet-talking was second nature.
After all, saying such things didn't cost him anything.
The key was... girls loved hearing these warm, caring words.
Although people say "nice guys finish last," there's a premise to that: your position in her heart... is already lower than a dog's!
Qin Qiaoqiao curled up in her blanket, almost moved to tears.
【Jiang Che, I miss you...】
【Should I arrange for your parents to go on another business trip?】
The girl blushed. How could she not understand what Jiang Che meant?
【No, you're so bad~】
On the other side, Jiang Che chuckled. Qin Qiaoqiao was too innocent. Girls like her were the easiest to win over, and most of them were love-struck.
Of course, Jiang Che would never fall in love with any girl. He was a man who loved widely.
......
The next day.
Yu Wan'er approached Jiang Che's desk, her brows furrowed, and spoke in a low voice.
"Pervert, what have you done to my sister Ye Mengyao?"
It was Monday, and Ye Mengyao hadn't shown up for school, which aroused Yu Wan'er's suspicion.
Ever since Saturday, when Ye Mengyao's birthday party ended and both Jiang Che and Ye Mengyao disappeared, Ye Mengyao had been missing for two days.
Yu Wan'er even wondered... had Jiang Che locked Ye Mengyao in some basement?
Hmm... given Jiang Che's perverted nature, it wasn't impossible!
Jiang Che: "......"
The little girl's thoughts were all heard by him through his Heart-Reading skill, which made Jiang Che's forehead twitch with a few black lines.
Did you really think I was that perverted?
"What's wrong? Missing your sister Ye Mengyao?"
Jiang Che asked with a smile.
"Just tell me! Stop messing around." Yu Wan'er knew Jiang Che wouldn't say anything truthful, but she still wanted to hear... whether anything had happened between Ye Mengyao and Jiang Che.
"Is this how you ask someone?" Jiang Che shrugged.
"Hmph, if you don't tell me, then forget it. If you dare to bully sister Ye Mengyao... I'll... I'll... I'll never talk to you again."
Yu Wan'er puffed out her cheeks, trying to think of something threatening, but after thinking about it... she realized her means of threatening Jiang Che were few and far between.
However, her words did have an impact on Jiang Che!
Yu Wan'er was soft, sweet-smelling, and a legal loli. No man could resist such a girl.
Just as the two were chatting, a figure appeared outside the classroom.
"Jiang Shao! Someone's looking for you!"
"Huh... isn't that Bai Jie from Class 3? Why is she looking for Jiang Shao?"
Jiang Che frowned and then looked over. At the classroom door stood a girl in a school uniform with a single ponytail, her hands behind her back, looking like a fresh and lively teenager.
"You scoundrel Jiang Che! How dare you flirt with another girl!" Yu Wan'er cursed Jiang Che in her heart over and over again.
Ever since Jiang Che threatened her in the archive room, he seemed to have become much more flirtatious...
......
In the small woods behind the school building.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Che sized up the pure and innocent girl in front of him, though he instantly knew who she was.
Bai Jie! The woman who drugged Ye Mengyao and was one of his crazy fans.
She was even a bit of a mild yandere.
To be honest, Jiang Che couldn't connect the fresh-faced girl in front of him with the heavily made-up, sexy-dressed woman at the banquet.
"I'm Bai Jie. Don't you remember? Jiang Che, you've helped me before!"
Through his Heart-Reading skill, Jiang Che understood what she meant by "help."
It was a few years ago, during middle school, when Bai Jie was followed by thugs after school, and he had helped her get away.
"Oh?"
Jiang Che smiled, knowing that different women required different personas.
In front of Yu Wan'er, he was a scoundrel.
In front of Ye Mengyao, he was a cool, abstinent male god.
In front of Qin Qiaoqiao, he was a warm senior.
And in front of this slightly yandere girl...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.
