Early the next morning.
At the suburban villa.
In the kitchen.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Qin Luo, wearing an apron, was humming a tune while preparing breakfast for Su Muwan.
As a qualified assistant, preparing a balanced breakfast for the young miss was just a matter of course.
At this moment.
A system notification sounded in Qin Luo's ear.
[Congratulations on Su Corporation getting back on track!]
[Reward now issued: Total Army Command]
Hearing the notification, Qin Luo's lips curled into a slight smile.
The reward had been credited.
This Total Army Command, in simple terms, meant ensuring absolute loyalty from their people.
This way, there was no need to worry about being backstabbed. Perfect!
Just then.
The kitchen sliding door opened.
Su Muwan, wearing a dark green shark pajama set and shark slippers, walked in yawning: "Qin Luo, you're up so early. Wow, (╯▽╰) it smells so good~~!"
Saying this, Su Muwan sauntered over to Qin Luo's side.
Giggling, she reached out and picked up a small sausage Qin Luo had just fried and popped it into her mouth.
"Mm, delicious."
Su Muwan licked her lips. In reality, when the Su Corporation employees had collectively resigned, she had almost cried.
But who would have thought Qin Luo would directly turn the tide, finding all the necessary people that very day.
The extreme emotions of despair and joy had left her mentally and physically exhausted, causing her to sleep early last night, and consequently wake up early today.
Qin Luo smiled and handed Su Muwan a tissue, saying, "I'm glad the young miss likes it. Originally, I was going to serve it to you in bed."
"Thanks... but there's no need to serve it in bed."
"If this young miss always eats meals in bed, I'm afraid I'll eventually turn into a couch potato."
Su Muwan took the tissue, shaking her head helplessly at Qin Luo's words.
Qin Luo was really taking his role as an assistant too seriously.
Anyone who didn't know better might think Qin Luo was a male servant she had bought to serve her!
However...
Su Muwan glanced at Qin Luo's face, then quickly averted her gaze.
Ahem, this male servant was quite handsome.
Qin Luo chuckled and said, "It's fine even if the young miss becomes a couch potato. I'll take care of you for life."
"?!"
Su Muwan was startled by his words, then looked at Qin Luo with disbelief.
Qin Luo maintained his smile, and seeing Su Muwan's incredulous expression, he asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, young miss? Isn't it normal for an assistant to always take care of you?"
"Oh... ahem, assistant, right."
Su Muwan cleared her throat, her face slightly flushed.
She looked at Qin Luo, then couldn't help but look away again. After taking a deep breath, she exclaimed, "In the future! In the future, you're not allowed to say such misleading things anymore!"
"Misleading?"
Seeing Qin Luo's seemingly oblivious expression, Su Muwan immediately raised her head and shouted with embarrassment, "That's right, I thought you liked me, Qin Luo! Always saying things that make me misunderstand!"
Hearing this, Qin Luo's expression froze for a moment, then he revealed a slight smile: "I do like the young miss."
Su Muwan: "!!"
She was stunned, then pointed at Qin Luo's smiling face and quickly said, "You mean like how a subordinate likes their boss, right?!"
Qin Luo shrugged and asked Su Muwan with confusion, "That's right, what else could it be?"
"Hmph! Nothing!"
Su Muwan's mood gradually calmed down. She felt that Qin Luo was too good at affecting her state of mind.
Of course, the main thing was.
Su Muwan's mind suddenly flashed back to scenes from romance novels she had read in her previous life.
Her in pajamas, Qin Luo making breakfast in the kitchen.
The way she and Qin Luo were joking around didn't seem like the interaction between an assistant and a young miss.
It seemed... it seemed a bit... somewhat ambiguous.
On Qin Luo's side.
[Loyalty +5]
[Loyalty +5]
He gleefully reviewed the increase in loyalty points.
Tsk tsk, coming to deliver loyalty points so early in the morning.
What's up with this Su Muwan, having such big mood swings?
Of course, the main thing was...
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan in her shark pajamas.
Come to think of it, this Su Muwan... she had both looks and brains.
Setting aside the fact that she was supposed to be the big villain, he... actually quite liked Su Muwan's type...
Of course, it wasn't just about her looks, but more about Su Muwan's personality.
Qin Luo seemed to realize that this Su Muwan wasn't the cold-hearted villain described in the original story.
Instead, she was even a bit... cute?
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Lost in thought.
The frying pan started making irregular noises.
"Qin Luo! What are you thinking about? It's burning!"
Su Muwan smelled the scorching and quickly grabbed the frying pan, throwing it into the sink.
Qin Luo snapped back to reality, standing aside, watching Su Muwan deal with the mess.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "I was thinking that the young miss seems quite different from the rumors."
Splash, splash—
Su Muwan was rinsing the pan when she heard Qin Luo's words and froze.
Then her face became flustered.
Oh no!
Her current persona was supposed to be cold, arrogant, domineering, and overbearing.
But because a big problem had been solved, she forgot to maintain her image!
Before Su Muwan could explain, she heard Qin Luo continue, "People say the young miss is willful and tyrannical, but I think the young miss has an adorable side too."
"This morning, I've once again confirmed that the young miss isn't at all like what others say."
Su Muwan was stunned by his words, her eyes revealing a hint of inexplicable delight.
Adorable, is he talking about me?
Although I know I'm indeed the world's cutest eternal 18-year-old beauty, but... in my previous life, no one ever said that about me.
Because in her previous life, people kept their distance from her, everyone thought she was a formidable villain character, even dogs passing by feared and revered her.
No one dared to risk their lives to call her cute or beautiful.
But! People, who understands?! I'm also a girl who likes to read romance novels!
I also want to be praised as beautiful instead of... gifted like a demon, martial arts prodigy, peerless genius, cold-hearted snake, vicious woman... ahem.
Thinking of this, Su Muwan was about to tell Qin Luo to speak more such truths in the future when she turned her head and saw Qin Luo say with a smile, "Oh right, for example, the young miss... you like to read romance novels just like ordinary girls."
"This point also surprised me a lot."
Whoosh!
The words Su Muwan was about to say were immediately swallowed back, her cheeks visibly reddening.
She let out a shrill cry of embarrassment: "Ah!!! Didn't I tell you to forget about that?!"
"Qin Luo, go die!"
Slap, slap, slap!!
Outside in the courtyard.
Zhu Lan, who was practicing her morning martial arts, suddenly looked up sharply towards the house.
The young miss's scream?
What happened?
But... she couldn't sense any enemy presence. Instead, Qin Luo and the young miss's auras were very close together.
Could it be...
Zhu Lan's eyes widened, and she let out a disgruntled sound: "Damn that Qin Luo! He stole my position as the number one assistant!"
........
........
An hour later.
Outside the villa.
Shen Fei and others stood in two rows, leaving a wide passage for Su Muwan.
They called out in unison.
"Good morning, young miss!"
"Good morning, young miss!"
"........."
Su Muwan didn't respond, but with a sullen face, angrily walked to the car and got in.
Qin Luo followed shortly after.
Seeing this, Shen Fei hesitantly asked Qin Luo in a low voice, "Brother Luo, what's wrong with the young miss? Is it because of yesterday's company issue?"
Hearing this, Qin Luo's mouth twitched. He rubbed his chest.
His mind flashed back to her earlier embarrassed and angry expression.
She had actually unleashed a series of punches directly at his chest.
Fortunately, she had held back, otherwise, he might not have been able to stand here.
Coming back to his senses, he sighed lightly to Shen Fei, "That's not it. You all better be more careful not to anger the young miss."
As soon as he finished speaking.
An angry voice came from the car: "Qin Luo, how much longer are you going to chat? Hurry up and get your ass over here to sit next to me!!"
Shen Fei and the others quickly lowered their heads, trembling with fear.
Qin Luo smiled slightly and walked over, "Coming, young miss."
Tsk tsk, this was more like the big villain he remembered.
The one from this morning must have been not fully awake, not in character, right?
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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.

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.”
