"Senior Jiang Che, did you know? My mom came to see me this morning. She wants to take me home!"
Qin Qiaoqiao clung to Jiang Che's arm, the two of them looking like a couple deeply in love.
"Oh? What did you say?"
"Of course, I firmly refused her! I was so brave..."
"Qiaoqiao, you're amazing!"
Jiang Che chuckled and gently patted Qin Qiaoqiao's head.
For dinner, Aunt Chen prepared sweet and sour spare ribs, along with three other dishes and a soup.
Aunt Chen's cooking skills were even better than some five-star hotel chefs, instantly winning over the young girl's taste buds.
Not long after dinner, Qin Qiaoqiao went to take a bath. The girl curled up in the tub, only her small head peeking out, her cheeks flushed pink from the steam.
Her long hair floated in the water like seaweed.
Senior Jiang Che's house... is really rich. Just this bathroom alone is more than twice the size of her bedroom.
And there are four bathrooms like this in the Jiang family villa!
Although Qin Qiaoqiao didn’t want to admit it... she was gradually becoming addicted to this lifestyle. After all, it’s easy to get used to luxury, but hard to go back to simplicity.
"Senior Jiang Che said he likes me," Qin Qiaoqiao tried to cheer herself up, but it didn’t take long for her spirits to sink again.
She really didn’t have any confidence. She was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. Even though she was voted the campus belle... she didn’t think she was that pretty.
On the contrary... she was actually quite insecure.
Families like Jiang Che’s, with billions of dollars, surely cared about marrying someone of equal status.
So sad, so blue~
After her bath, Qin Qiaoqiao was in a pretty good mood.
"Senior Jiang Che, do you need me to help you review your studies?"
Just then, the doorbell rang downstairs!!!
Jiang Che’s lips curved into a slight smile. He didn’t even need to look to know who it was.
With his 'Heart-Reading' ability, he could hear the thoughts of all women within a 50-meter radius.
"Qiaoqiao, someone’s here!"
"Ah? Someone’s here?" Qin Qiaoqiao instantly panicked. Who else could it be but Jiang Che’s parents or family?
If Jiang Che’s parents found out about her, a regular girl... they would surely try to break them apart.
[Jiang’s mother: Here’s a million. Take it and leave my son immediately.]
[Qin Qiaoqiao: No! (Snowflakes drifting~~~)]
Jiang Che felt a headache coming on. What on earth was this girl thinking?
"Hah... don’t overthink it. Just know that I’ll never abandon you. You’ll always be special to me."
Although the line was cliché, it worked wonders on a love-struck girl like Qin Qiaoqiao.
...
Ye Mengyao’s heart was pounding, her hands clenched tightly.
The girl wore a long-sleeved coat, her hair falling naturally down her back. She had come specifically to see Jiang Che.
She knew very well... that the Jiang family villa wasn’t just occupied by Jiang Che alone—Qin Qiaoqiao was there too.
"Knock, knock, knock~" Ye Mengyao rapped on the door again.
Soon, the door opened.
Jiang Che was only wearing a pair of shorts, his perfectly toned physique on full display.
"It’s you?" Jiang Che deliberately showed a hint of disdain.
Then he started to close the door.
But Ye Mengyao nimbly slipped inside.
Ignoring Jiang Che’s gaze, she said with a grin, "Hehe... Jiang Che, I’m here to tutor you!"
Ye Mengyao carried a small backpack, her eyes filled with hope.
"Hah... Do I need you to tutor me?"
Jiang Che frowned.
Ye Mengyao pouted, sneaking a glance into the living room.
There was another girl’s shoes in the entrance shoe rack—Qin Qiaoqiao was definitely here!
This time, she wasn’t just here to confess her feelings to Jiang Che; she was also here to declare war!
"Jiang Che, if you don’t agree... I’ll tell your parents about us!"
Jiang Che was speechless: "..."
She’s even learned to threaten me now!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
