Gu Wantang fell completely silent!
She had never imagined Jiang Che would say such a thing.
The only reason she had taken the initiative to contact Jiang Che this time was entirely for her own selfish reasons.
Although her inner demon was fanning the flames, she had ultimately come to a realization: the Haotian Immortal Physique was far too important to her!
Lunar Yin, Solar Yang!
The Lunar Yin Immortal Physique required union with an extreme Yang physique to achieve true perfection and eliminate all negative aspects of the immortal physique. The best match for the Lunar Yin Immortal Physique was the Solar Yang Immortal Physique! It was said that the union of Lunar Yin and Solar Yang could achieve a synergy surpassing that of a supreme immortal physique.
However, the Solar Yang Immortal Physique was exceedingly rare, but the Haotian Immortal Physique was also an excellent alternative.
Therefore, Jiang Che could not die. The marriage contract had to be fulfilled. Only then, by obtaining his pure Yang essence, could her immortal physique achieve true perfection, granting her the strength to guard the frontier wilds in the future.
But Jiang Che's words... completely shattered her expectations.
Moreover, Jiang Che was doing this because of her, which left Gu Wantang's heart in complete turmoil.
[You... have fallen for me?] Gu Wantang asked abruptly.
[Not exactly love. The responsibility lies with me... Even without you, I might have had to step up. But with Tangtang here, there's one more person to worry about.]
Who was Jiang Che?
An avid reader of various web novels, he could spin tales of a lifetime with just a few words, layering on buffs left and right, guaranteed to leave Gu Wantang utterly bewildered.
Of course, he would definitely take action against the evil spirits. Although he was a villain, he seemed to have a natural enmity with these otherworldly fiends; they had to be eradicated!
Furthermore, while he, Jiang Che, fought desperately in the lower realm to resist the invasion of the evil spirit army, wouldn't all those powerful factions in the Nine Heavens offer some support?
Otherwise, that would just be too inconsiderate!
Jiang Che's calculating mind was practically rattling loud enough to be heard across the Nine Heavens and all realms.
[Oh—]
Gu Wantang only replied with a single "oh," but her heart was already a raging storm.
The young lady lightly raised her fair hand, and a light screen naturally formed from the Nine Heavens network. Jiang Che's face gradually appeared on it—handsome, flawless like carved jade, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes clearly holding a cunning and calculating glint.
[Well, well? My dear Tangtang... You haven't actually fallen for him, have you?] The inner demon, Lunar Yin Mystic Maiden, popped out again, transforming into a mist of crimson vapor that coiled around Gu Wantang.
[A great hero! When Jiang Che returns triumphant in the future... having fought countless battles and finally eradicated the source of the evil spirits, becoming the great hero of the Nine Heavens... and then comes to marry you. Oh my, oh my... Just thinking about it makes me blush~~~]
Gu Wantang: "..."
Although her inner demon was utterly unreliable, her words gave one pause for thought.
"Only the strong are worthy of me. One who dares to raise a blade against the otherworldly fiends is strong."
Gu Wantang muttered to herself, then closed her eyes again to continue her meditation.
[Tch, after all that talk, you're still smitten, aren't you? But baby... I advise you to marry and unite with our husband as soon as possible to harmonize your Lunar Yin power. Otherwise, if that kid dies... there isn't a second Extreme Yang Immortal Physique in the Nine Heavens, you know~]
......
Jiang Che had just finished his conversation with Gu Wantang when the Jiang family elders started contacting him.
With the Nine Heavens network connected, many things became much more convenient. The elders no longer needed to exhaust themselves descending with divine manifestations to the lower realm; they could just make a video call.
"Jiang Che! Are you alright?"
The one leading the call was Jiang Hong. This old fellow was extremely concerned about Jiang Che's safety, having staked his entire life and fortune on him. If anything happened to Jiang Che... he'd be left with nothing, not even his underpants.
"Jiang Che, lad, have you encountered any evil spirits!!!"
Not just Jiang Hong, all the Great Emperors and even Immortals of the Jiang family were immensely concerned about Jiang Che. That Jiang Che was the future of the Jiang family had become their consensus. Even the ten Imperial Scions of the Jiang family had completely lost any sense of rivalry or jealousy by now.
"No! I'm perfectly fine!" Jiang Che lightly licked the corner of his lips.
Seeing so many elders gathered, he couldn't help but feel the urge to scam someone.
No, no, he was no longer satisfied with just scamming his own family elders. He wanted to expand his business to the entire Nine Heavens!
"Jiang Che, the evil spirits are about to launch a large-scale invasion of the mortal realm. You cannot resist the power of the evil spirits... You must evacuate as soon as possible. We old folks will figure out a way... to pull you up into the Nine Heavens!" an Immortal elder spoke up.
Now that heaven and earth were severed, except for some supremely powerful beings who had transcended the mundane and could freely ignore the barriers between realms, even Immortals found it difficult to descend to the lower realm, let alone pull someone from the mortal realm into the Nine Heavens.
But they had no other choice!
Jiang Che was far too important, involving the longevity and fate of their Jiang family for the next million years. He could not be lost!
"Exactly! I cultivate the Dao of Space and can briefly open a spatial tunnel for you to cross realms... but it carries the risk of lifespan reduction, probably about ten thousand years! However, I've been eating the lifespan-increasing pills you gave me every day these past few days, and I've just accumulated over ten thousand years of increased lifespan!"
The Fifth Elder stepped forward, a very aged old man with graying beard and mustache, yet his vitality was exceptionally vigorous.
"Huh?" Jiang Che widened his eyes and looked at this Fifth Elder.
No wonder! No wonder his system had been wildly racking up points these past couple of days, often reaching tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of points. So this old fellow had been treating the supreme-grade lifespan-increasing pills like meals?
Jiang Che did a quick calculation. One supreme-grade lifespan-increasing pill increased lifespan by one month. To increase lifespan by ten thousand years would require hundreds of thousands of pills. One of those specially 'enhanced' lifespan-increasing pills was like eating dirt to swallow; consuming a hundred thousand of them... the thought alone was nauseating!
Truly an Immortal. No wonder he achieved immortality!
"I trouble the Fifth Elder for your concern, but I do not need to enter the Nine Heavens, nor can I enter the Nine Heavens!"
"Why!!!" an Immortal roared angrily. They had prepared everything, spending these days considering how to bring Jiang Che to the Nine Heavens!
"Everything I have is in the mortal realm. My parents, my family, and my... woman!"
"I... I'll bring them all up for you! At most, I'll sacrifice a hundred thousand years of lifespan to open a large-scale teleportation array! You just make sure the supreme-grade lifespan-increasing pills are plentiful, lad, and I, this old man, will risk my life for it!"
Um... although I really want your scam points, let's just forget it!
"No! This is my homeland. It cannot be lost. I will do everything in my power to resist the invasion of the otherworldly fiends!" Jiang Che declared righteously.
"You—"
[Ding! Host has scammed the entire Jiang family, obtaining 2 billion points.]
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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...
