"What do you mean?"
The Jialan Empress's face darkened, but she dared not lose her temper—Ling'er's life now rested in his hands.
And she seemed to realize that Jiang Che wasn’t as devoted as she had imagined.
"Nothing much, I just don’t like you!"
Jiang Che grinned.
"You—"
The Jialan Empress instantly understood!
This Jiang Che was no lovesick youth—from the very beginning... this had been a full-blown scheme!
He already knew he possessed an undying body, blessed by the heavens, making him immune even to her attempts to kill him. That was why he acted so brazenly. All his earlier displays of affection had been an act for Ling'er, who had now fallen completely for him and turned to stone.
In other words, he had backed her into a corner!
"What do you want?!" The Empress steadied herself and spoke slowly.
"Ling'er loves you so much—don’t you feel even a shred of guilt? Once she fully petrifies... not even a true immortal could save her!"
"Enough, Your Majesty, spare me the guilt trip. I’ve played that game before!" Jiang Che waved his hand dismissively, his smile dripping with mischief.
"Name your price. The Jialan Clan has countless treasures. Save Ling'er... and you can take whatever you want."
"Treasures?" Jiang Che laughed as if he’d heard a joke.
"Your Majesty, I’m the most talented young master of the Jiang Family. The cultivation resources they provide me far surpass anything you could imagine. No matter how precious your clan’s treasures are... can they compare to the Jiang Family’s?"
"You... I’ll select the ten most beautiful women from my clan to serve you in the mortal realm... How about that?"
The lofty Empress was truly desperate—using women as bargaining chips was a tactic she despised most!
Yet now... the boomerang had come right back at her.
"No, no, no. I’ve had my fill of seafood lately—I’m tired of the Jialan mermaids..."
"Besides, could any of your so-called 'most beautiful' clan members... compare to Your Majesty’s beauty?" Jiang Che shamelessly leaned closer to the Jialan Empress.
The result was... BOOM!!!
This was the Jialan Empress’s dream realm, where she reigned supreme like a deity. A mere flicker of her fury shattered Jiang Che into pieces.
[Ding! Host has died. Resurrection complete.]
Hey hey hey, I’m back!
Young Master Jiang declared he could fight her all day!
"Your Majesty, you may be beautiful... but your temper leaves much to be desired!"
"And it seems you still haven’t grasped the situation. Right now... you’re not the one calling the shots!"
Jiang Che stood up, and it wasn’t just his back that straightened.
"You!!!"
The Jialan Empress was on the verge of collapse. No one had ever dared speak to her so insolently—even emperors treated her with reverence. Yet today, a mere human had the audacity to tease her.
The worst part was... he was right. She was powerless!
"What do you actually want?"
"Your Majesty, isn’t my meaning... obvious enough? I wonder if I might... spend a delightful night with you?"
"BOOM!!!"
[Ding! Host has died. Resurrection complete.]
[Ding!]
Jiang Che was getting used to dying—what a violent dragoness! She’d be a tough one to tame.
How many lives do you have? Enough to keep dying like this?
"Hey, can we calm down? If you kill me again... I might just decide not to save Ling'er!"
The Jialan Empress narrowed her eyes, studying Jiang Che before stating firmly, "You wouldn’t let Ling'er die."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you see right through me! But... I already have plenty of women. Losing Ling'er would sting, but it wouldn’t break me..."
The Empress’s face turned pitch black—this guy was too much to handle!
She’d rather face a heavenly tribulation than deal with Jiang Che.
This damned human was only at the Martial God stage—a mere ant in the eyes of a half-step Immortal like her. How dare he harbor such impure thoughts about her?!
If not for his heaven-blessed immortality, he’d have died a thousand times over!
Jiang Che yawned. "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind? My time is precious, you know."
"You wouldn’t want Ling'er... to turn into stone, would you?"
The Jialan Empress: "......"
"Heh... heh, you’ve got some nerve! Ling'er must’ve been blind to fall for a scoundrel like you!"
"Thank you for the praise, Mother-in-law!" Jiang Che gave a slight bow.
[Ding! Host has scammed the half-step Immortal 'Jialan Empress,' earning 500 million points.]
"Save Ling'er first, then we’ll discuss anything else..."
"Sorry, but in that case, Ling'er will have to stay petrified!" Jiang Che feigned regret.
"You—"
"Why should I believe you can save Ling'er? At least give me proof!" The Empress still glared down at him.
Even at a disadvantage, she refused to yield!
"Easy enough!"
Jiang Che snapped his fingers.
"Your Majesty, I’ve uncovered a secret from the Merfolk Ancestral Land. There’s only one way to break the bloodline curse—every midnight and noon, the beloved must willingly extract a drop of heart’s blood... enduring heart-shattering pain to drip it onto the petrified body. That’s the only temporary remedy..."
The Empress fell silent. She’d never heard of such a method, but that hardly mattered now.
"Come here!"
With a wave of her hand, she yanked Jiang Che forward, ready to forcibly extract his heart’s blood.
"Tsk tsk, Your Majesty, are your ears not working? The heart’s blood... must be given willingly. Force won’t work."
[Ding! Host has scammed the Jialan Empress, earning 400 million points.]
"Fine. Try it now. If it works... I’ll believe you."
The Empress was fuming, her composure crumbling.
"No can do. Heart-shattering pain isn’t something I’ll endure for free... What’s in it for me?"
"......"
If looks could kill, Jiang Che would’ve been reduced to ashes.
"What... do you want?!"
"Simple. I heard Ling'er was born through parthenogenesis, right?"
The Empress: "......"
"So, you’ve never taken a cultivation partner... Oh wait, as royalty, you’d never taint your bloodline like that!"
The Empress: "......"
She wanted to tear this human to shreds!!!
Seeing the perfect moment, Jiang Che pointed to his cheek.
"Your Majesty, give me a kiss, and I’ll demonstrate how to save Ling'er. What do you say—" BANG!
Jiang Che died!
Jiang Che revived!

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?!
