As the black mist appeared, the scene descended into chaos.
Ye Lin's expression twisted in disbelief as he glanced at the black threads binding his limbs and neck.
What kind of technique is this?
His Ye family controls countless resources, yet they've never seen such an ability before.
But it doesn't hurt or itch; it just immobilizes him. What else can it do?
Moreover, this is his Ye family's territory!
How dare Su Muwan?!
Ye Lin thought, grinding his teeth as he shouted toward Su Muwan behind Qin Luo, "Su Muwan!!!"
"Do you know who I am?!"
"This is the Ye family's territory! You've provoked me! That's the same as provoking the entire Ye family!"
Huh?
Guys, seriously?
Didn't you see the video of me obliterating Deng Feng with a single palm online?
Why do you keep coming to pick a fight?
Do I look that easy to mess with?
Su Muwan rolled her eyes so hard they nearly hit the ceiling.
She realized that her previous life's temper wasn't without reason.
After all, these people were just too brainless, constantly coming at her with mockery.
However, this life, she had calmed down.
Instead, she glanced at Qin Luo, finding his reaction particularly interesting.
Oh.
Rare sight, Qin Luo.
You've changed your attack style.
The next moment.
Su Muwan saw Qin Luo raise his hand slightly, his tone cold, "Noisy."
As the words fell.
Gurgle!
A black claw materialized out of thin air in front of Ye Lin.
Then.
Smack!!
"Ugh—!"
The claw swung fiercely toward Ye Lin's face.
Simultaneously, Qin Luo taunted again, "What are you, even? The Ye family?"
"A mere underling of the Dragon King Palace."
"Provoke my young lady, and there will be no place for you in Wang City!"
Qin Luo finally recalled what the Ye family was about.
This took him back to when Xiao Tian first awakened in Jiang City, and various families came to welcome the Dragon King's return.
Among them was someone from the Ye family.
???
Wait, what??
Su Muwan turned sharply to look at Qin Luo.
Her eyes sparkled.
"Qin Luo?"
"What's this?"
"How can you slap people from midair?"
Though the move was a bit eerie, it saved her from having to touch people's faces with her own hands!
Qin Luo shrugged at her question, "An old man taught me once; I just fully comprehended it now and decided to put it to use."
How many old men do you have, exactly?
One teaches you medicine, another divination, a third hacking, and now this one gives you secret techniques?
But Su Muwan understood.
After all, Qin Luo is a T0.
Ning Muqing was also startled. Ignoring the strange technique of slapping people, she hesitated slightly and looked at Qin Luo, "Qin... Qin Luo..."
"This man is the second young master of the Ye family."
Qin Luo glanced at Ning Muqing curiously, "And?"
As he spoke.
Smack!
"Ugh—!"
With a flick of his finger, the black claw slapped Ye Lin's other cheek.
Ye Lin winced in pain, his eyes wide with shock.
As the second young master of the Ye family, he had always stood at the pinnacle since childhood!
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?!
"Su Muwan!! Do you know what you're doing...?"
Smack!!
Another slap!
Ning Muqing watched, her words stuck in her throat.
There were some things she couldn't bring herself to say.
The various families in Wang City were evenly matched; if they clashed, it could trigger a chain reaction.
So, they usually tried to step back when possible.
Thinking this, she glanced at the beaten Ye Lin, then at Qin Luo, "Qin..."
"Su Muwan!! You actually let your underling hit..."
Smack!!
"I! I am Ye Lin..."
Smack!
"Stop... stop hitting..."
Smack!
The black claw acted like Qin Luo's avatar, slapping Ye Lin's face over and over.
Su Muwan walked over to the anxious Ning Muqing, patting her shoulder, "Little Ning..."
Ning Muqing, thinking Su Muwan was here to stop Qin Luo, brightened up immediately, "Su... Su Muwan... you..."
Before she could finish.
Su Muwan playfully rubbed her stomach, "I'm a bit hungry. Do you have any late-night snack stalls around? Let's go grab something."
Ning Muqing froze.
A snack stall?
She glanced at Ye Lin, still being slapped, "But... but him..."
Before she could finish.
Qin Luo also turned and smiled, "Right, Ning Muqing, my young lady consumes a lot of energy due to her unparalleled martial talent."
"Since you're local, take us to some hidden gem spots, will you?"
Hidden... gem spots...
Normally, that would be fine.
But...
Ning Muqing glanced again at Ye Lin, who was being slapped until his eyes rolled back.
Raised with rules, her mind was in turmoil.
Su Muwan and Qin Luo...
Didn't they see someone being repeatedly slapped?
Why... why...
Ning Muqing stared blankly at the two casually chatting.
"Qin Luo, are you implying I eat a lot?"
"Young lady, it's called high energy consumption; after all, your martial talent is extraordinary."
"Hmph! You know how to talk. By the way, is this guy done yet? I'm starving!"
"Hmm? I thought the force wasn't enough when you didn't say anything."
"Hey, Qin Luo, you should know I don't want trouble in Wang City."
"I get it."
"Do you really get it?"
Ning Muqing's head was spinning.
Su Muwan and Qin Luo...
Did they not care about what would happen next?
The Ye family would surely come to seek justice.
And why could these two be so calm, slapping someone while discussing where to eat next?
Why did they seem so experienced...
A moment later.
Ye Lin's eyes rolled back, blood spraying from his mouth.
Thud!
He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Swish!
The claw dissipated.
The threads disappeared.
The Ye family subordinates huddled together, trembling.
Their teeth chattered, faces pale, "This... this is too much..."
"How dare Su Muwan, a Jiang City native, come to Wang City to bully us?"
"Perhaps... Wang City is about to change..."
"No, stop talking nonsense; hurry up and call an ambulance for the young master!"
"Oh, right, right!"
Outside.
Su Muwan stretched contentedly.
First, let me state this clearly.
I really didn't want to cause trouble in Wang City; I didn't even want to come here in the first place.
But...
Since it's done, what else can I do?
Su Muwan knew that for these people, hitting one was the same as hitting them all.
So be it...
"Qin Luo!"
Qin Luo, who had just finished something, walked out, holding a doll, "What is it, young lady?"
Su Muwan took a deep breath, then looked at Qin Luo, serious, "I've decided. I won't hold back anymore! Whoever provokes me... I will..."
Qin Luo was surprised, "You'll suppress their entire family?"
"No! I'll have you beat them all up!"
After all, Qin Luo, you're a T0, so you can ignore these loophole rules!
Maybe this way, we can avoid the tragedy of my previous life!
"....."
Of course!
Su Muwan pouted, hoping there wouldn't be so many foolish people coming her way.
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
