Author's Note: Thanks to "LoveStruckFool" for the spa treat! Boss is generous!
....
....
Sacred Domain, Commercial Street.
"Wow! So many people!"
"So beautiful!"
"This place is even bigger than our courtyard!"
"Longlong, that's obvious. Ours was a hospital, you know?"
"Huh? A hospital? You all lived in a hospital before? Wait... now that I look, why are you all wearing patient gowns?"
"Yeah, but I won't share my lollipop with you."
"Uh... haha... no need..."
Su Muwan stared at the chaotic crowd before her, her lips twitching.
How the hell did Qin Luo interpret her glance like this?!
Has his comprehension skill not improved since the first time they met?!
For heaven's sake, learn to read my expressions already!
Just as she was thinking this—
"What are you standing around for? My treat today—everything’s on me!"
Yan Qiuyue cheerfully squeezed over, grabbing a pack of spicy strips from a nearby stall and waving it in front of Su Muwan. "Wanwan, does this thing replenish spiritual energy?"
"Replenish your head! It’s junk food!"
Su Muwan smacked her hand away, only to notice Xiao Tian crouching by a shelf, poking a spiritual-energy pudding with his lollipop.
What the heck is a "spiritual-energy pudding"?
The stall owner hurriedly warned, "Careful! That pudding has evolved—it’s alive now!"
Before he finished speaking—
Pop! The pudding sprouted a jagged, gelatinous mouth and chomped down on Xiao Tian’s lollipop stick.
The boy plopped onto the ground, bursting into tears. "Waaah! My lollipop got eaten!"
"Don’t worry, Longlong! Xueqi will avenge you!"
Jiang Xueqi grabbed a broom nearby, ready to smash the pudding, but Wang Yong yanked her back. "Hey, wait, Xueqi! You can’t just wreck someone’s stall!"
Su Muwan facepalmed.
She turned to glare at Qin Luo, grinding her teeth. "Qin Luo, control them!"
Qin Luo, meanwhile, was engrossed in examining the various novel [spiritual artifacts] born from the rules of the Great Thousand Worlds at another stall.
Some objects from minor worlds had directly gained sentience and evolved into living beings.
It was like how a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng could become a spirit and run around.
But...
Even pudding could become sentient? The Great Thousand Worlds really were fascinating.
Hearing Su Muwan’s voice, he blinked and looked up. "Didn’t the young miss want to experience the lively street atmosphere with everyone?"
Huh?
Why did the young miss look so pissed?
Did he misunderstand?
"Lively atmosphere my foot!"
Su Muwan shot another glare at Qin Luo, who still hadn’t grasped the situation.
This idiot! Couldn’t he tell she wanted some alone time with him?!
And yet...
"Wow! Sugar painting! I want this!"
"Dean! Dean! I want cotton candy!"
"I want candied hawthorns!"
"Me too!"
"Me three! I’ll buy some for Lianlian!"
Xiao Tian, Jiang Xueqi, Song Ming, Suan Tianxing, and the others crowded around the stalls, refusing to budge.
"Hubby, I want this~"
"Wanwan, me too~"
Why.
Su Muwan’s eye twitched as she pulled out a black card and tossed it over to pay.
Why did she end up having to take care of all these people?!
Life was hard. Muwan sighed.
Since she couldn’t change anything...
Fine!
Su Muwan grabbed Qin Luo’s arm and declared petulantly, "Qin Luo! I’m going to eat my fill too!"
She pointed at a stall.
"I want cola, chips, spirit fruits, candied fruits, cotton candy, candied hawthorns... Buy me everything!"
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Ah, so the young miss was just upset she hadn’t gotten to eat yet.
She really loved this kind of atmosphere, huh?
A while later...
After passing through the snack district, Qin Luo and the group arrived at the entrance of a dazzling spherical building shaped like a soccer ball.
Floating above it were the words:
[Pleasure Pavilion]
Below, a smaller line read:
[Spiritual-energy holographic experience. Caution advised for those below the Initiation Realm.]
Su Muwan blinked up at it. "This place... doesn’t look very reputable."
"Pleasure Pavilion"? The name alone sounded shady.
But the soccer-ball architecture seemed oddly wholesome.
"No, no!"
Qin Luo shook his head, pulling out a tablet to check the details.
"Young miss, this is an entertainment complex Li Mingyuan and the others designed to fit the Great Thousand Worlds theme!"
"It combines illusion arrays and holographic projections—basically, an arcade."
After a second of thought, Su Muwan’s eyes sparkled. "Let’s check it out."
Inside the lobby...
A neon sign glowed at the center:
[Immortal-Demon War: Battle of Destiny 5v5 Showdown!!]
"What kind of game is this? Never heard of it."
Su Muwan leaned in to read the rules. "Team battle? Winners have a 99% chance to draw an exclusive Immortal-Demon War skin? Huh?! 99%?!"
Her eyes lit up. Isn't this like getting something for free?!
Although she didn't know what this game was all about, getting a free game skin was enough to wake her up from any drowsiness!
"Miss, do you want to give it a try?"
Qin Luo somehow managed to whisper in her ear, "How about forming a team with me? I'll support you."
Hearing this,
Su Muwan gave a soft snort. "Since you're so eager to play, then I'll accompany you."
A moment later,
Everyone arrived at the character selection platform in the gaming area. Dozens of holographic projections descended from the sky, transforming into various immortal and demonic heroes.
Each character was so lifelike that it seemed as if they could jump out of the screen at any moment.
"Wow, these characters are so cool!"
Yan Qiuyue excitedly leaned closer to the screen, her eyes shining. "I'll choose this so - called Blazing Flame Empress. It's obvious she's a fire - type mage. Perfect for me!"
Alicia adjusted her glasses. After thinking for a while, she said, "Well... I'll play an assassin."
Qin Luo looked at Su Muwan and smiled. "Miss, have you decided which character to choose?"
On Su Muwan's side, she was lying on the console, twirling the ice - type female mage with silver hair in the virtual screen with her fingertips.
"That's the one!"
"Is her ultimate skill called [Universal Ice Coffin]?"
"Damn it, why didn't I come up with a name like that?"
"Alright, this skill name is mine now."
Qin Luo chose a support - type character named [Luo Shen], whose skills mainly focused on healing and control.
He smiled and said, "Then I'll be the exclusive support for the miss."
After everyone had chosen their characters, they were teleported to the pre - game area inside the game.
Su Muwan looked down and found that she had transformed into the appearance of the "Frost Queen", wearing an ice - blue robe and holding a crystal - clear staff in her hand.
She waved the staff, and immediately, a frosty aura condensed into ice crystals in the air, making a "click - click" sound.
"Wow, this feels so real!"
Su Muwan excitedly spun around.
"Yes, this is the realism of this game,"
Qin Luo had transformed into the white - robed "Luo Shen", holding a folding fan with a landscape painting on it.
And their teammates were randomly matched.
There was a marksman named Xiao Tian, a top - laner named Jiang Zixuan, and a jungler named Feng Yueke.
It all seemed rather odd.
The next second,
[All troops, attack!]
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
