"Can't tell you're quite charming, huh? Even this fiancée you've never met is speaking up for you now."
At home, the woman's voice was dripping with vinegar.
Ever since the news of Jiang Che's engagement to the Saintess of the Taiyin Ice Palace spread, his fame within the Nine Heavens had skyrocketed exponentially!
It spread across all the continents and realms of the Nine Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
He truly became the number one on the "This Scoundrel Must Die" list!
After all, the Taiyin Immortal Body of the Taiyin Mystic Maiden was a rare cauldron physique in the world, enough to make even Immortals covetous. It was said that an Immortal once wanted to form a Dao partnership with Gu Wantang, aiming to borrow the Taiyin power of her Taiyin Immortal Body to break through to the Second Tribulation realm.
But, without a doubt, it was refused by the Taiyin Ice Palace.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Che crossed his legs, smiling as he looked at the woman beside him.
Gu Lingfei was like an overturned vinegar jar.
"Fifi, this is just an arranged marriage by the families, right? I had no choice..."
"Pfft~ Look at you, getting all full of yourself. You're probably itching with impatience in your heart, can't wait to enter the Nine Heavens right now and whisk her away!" The woman shot Jiang Che a glance with her beautiful eyes.
"Ahem, Fifi... No matter how fragrant the wildflowers are, can they compare to the flowers at home?" Jiang Che offered a fawning smile and wrapped his arm around Gu Lingfei's waist.
Although that Taiyin Mystic Maiden Gu Wantang's beauty was unparalleled under heaven, his Fifi wasn't bad either.
"Besides, I'm face-blind. Everyone looks about the same to me. That so-called Taiyin Mystic Maiden is actually just average-looking."
"Tsk~ You and your glib tongue, you little man!" Gu Lingfei pinched the soft flesh at Jiang Che's waist.
Face-blind? How could you even say that? Your smooth talk might fool young girls!
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that Taiyin Mystic Maiden anymore!" Anyway, she's out of reach for now, so why bother?
He just wondered if the Nine Heavens network supported video calls...
Jiang Che kept one arm around Gu Lingfei's waist while the other reached over and took hold of her slender, jade-like foot.
Gu Lingfei now also possessed an Immortal Body, the Ice Spirit Immortal Body... Her "ice skin and jade bones" were no joke. Gu Lingfei's looks were enough to rank within the top hundred of the Nine Heavens Absolute Beauty List overall.
Actually, in terms of pure looks, the difference between those in the top hundred of the overall list wasn't huge; their beauty was all flawless and impeccable.
Even their temperaments were quite similar. What really set them apart were the various buffs from their prestigious statuses—being a Saintess of an Immortal Sect, the direct daughter of a True Immortal, a peerless genius...
Similar to female celebrities and influencers in the entertainment industry today, the boost from status and position makes the desire for conquest in men's hearts even stronger.
"Fifi, you've been quite idle lately!" Jiang Che began massaging Gu Lingfei's jade-like feet.
Our Fifi's ice skin and jade bone figure isn't much worse than that enchantress from the Taiyin Ice Palace.
“Ugh! You think I want to be this idle? Now that the spiritual energy has revived... many original industrial chains have been replaced by cultivation. We've entered an era where everyone cultivates... The elixir supply chain has also been established, so of course I'm extremely idle.”
Gu Lingfei was someone who couldn't stay idle; she always wanted to find something to do, but now she felt lost.
"It's fine. Once we enter the Nine Heavens... I plan to open a large-scale Spirit Stone Bank. I'll still need you all to manage the finances for me then!"
Gu Lingfei propped her chin with one hand. "And when will that be?"
"How about... during this time, I also give you a baby?"
Gu Lingfei dropped a bombshell, nearly shocking Jiang Che.
"Ahem, Fifi, why do you suddenly want a child?"
“Ah~ Sister Jiang came to see me again recently, asking why my belly still hasn't shown any movement... including those people from the Jiang Family in the Nine Heavens who descended to the mortal realm, they're pressing me every day!”
That's right. Those pressing Jiang Che to have babies were no longer just his parents. The Immortal ancestors and Great Emperors from the Jiang Family of the Nine Heavens were also frantically urging him.
After all, Jiang Che's genes were truly exceptional—the rare across all ages Four Immortal Bodies, and he was male. Most importantly, he was particularly fond of women!
Because as cultivators' cultivation increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to have offspring at higher levels. Some Great Emperor-level powerants couldn't have a descendant for ten thousand years.
So, the Jiang Family ancestors kept urging him to have some babies while his cultivation was still relatively low!
To encourage him, some Immortal even stated that whenever one of his women gave birth to a child, regardless of whether the child had exceptional cultivation talent, the Jiang Family would provide a massive amount of resources!
What the Jiang Family considered a massive amount of resources would undoubtedly be an astronomical figure!
"So Fifi, do you want one or not?"
"I... it's okay. If I really get pregnant, then I'll have it. I'm bored lately anyway, might as well have a baby to play with."
Ahem, have a baby... to play with?
You think it's buying a toy?
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. Shen Yu was an accident. No one in the harem would object if she got pregnant, since that girl didn't compete for favor at all.
But if Gu Lingfei got pregnant, the other girls would definitely start having ideas.
The situation then would be something Jiang Che couldn't control.
However, Jiang Che had long been prepared. If he really decided to have babies... he would first create several dozen "Many Children, Much Blessings" system modules, one for himself and one for each of the girls!
Ahem... just imagining that scene was a bit mind-blowing.
"Fifi, I think we should still heed the nation's call!"
"What call?" Gu Lingfei tilted her head, somewhat confused.
"Family Planning!"
"......"
In other words, he just didn't want her to have a baby, right?
"Go away! Go make plans with your fiancée..." Gu Lingfei's petty temper flared up. She pulled her jade foot from Jiang Che's embrace and then kicked him in the butt with it.
It was clear that Gu Lingfei had indeed been wanting to be a mother lately. After all, it's quite common for a woman's maternal instincts to grow stronger as she ages.
But Jiang Che absolutely couldn't go for the "many children, much blessings" route. If children were running everywhere... how could he and the girls shamelessly play together then?
Children were still too distant a concept for him now.
"It's not that we won't have any, but we need to plan. We could decide by drawing lots! In a few days, I'll gather all the girls. All of you will draw lots... to see who the lucky one is!"
Jiang Che snapped his fingers. Damn, I'm simply too brilliant!
Deciding by drawing lots—fair and just!
There was no way he'd let every girl have a baby; that would definitely lead to chaos. Although Jiang Che didn't dislike children... having too many wasn't good either.
“Huh... Drawing lots? That could work too... It just depends on who has good pregnancy luck, right?”
"You could put it that way!"
"Tsk~ Then I'm out of luck. You have so many women... by the time it's my turn, who knows when that'll be!" Gu Lingfei stuck out her tongue.
"What else can we do? Fifi, you know... As the head of the household, I have a headache too. So many girls, I have to take care of each one..."
“Heh, serves you right! Who told you to be such a scumbag? You deserve it!”
Gu Lingfei's attitude toward Jiang Che had also undergone a subtle shift. The former doting, sisterly affection was gone, replaced by a more complex and nuanced feeling.
She had even learned to feel jealous!

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
