6 PM.
At the entrance of "Cloud Top Pavilion", the most luxurious restaurant in Jiang City.
The restaurant manager and a group of staff were already waiting at the door in advance.
They had received a message from their boss that the most ruthless young lady in Jiang City, Su Muwan, had booked the entire place for tonight!
She was on her way now!
The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and scolded the nervous-looking employees in a low voice: "When Miss Su arrives, you all better be on your toes, understand?"
"Yes!"
Not long after.
Swoosh!
A taxi slowly drove up from the distance and stopped at the entrance of Cloud Top Pavilion.
Then.
Three figures stepped out.
One figure was strikingly beautiful.
Her skin was as white as snow, so delicate it seemed to glow.
In contrast to her appearance, her clothes were rather ordinary.
And when she looked up at the opulent restaurant before her, her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness.
Especially with such a grand reception at the door, which made the young woman feel even more timid and insecure.
She turned to the plainly dressed man beside her and hesitated: "Qian Yu, why did you bring us to such an expensive place for dinner? I don't have any money..."
Her name was Shen Yue. She had a younger sister. Her mother had passed away years ago due to illness, and her father had become disabled after a machine crushed both his legs at a construction site. She had been working odd jobs since childhood to take care of her sister and father.
Even now, she hadn't experienced a normal life.
Due to their poor circumstances, and because they happened to have an attic at home,
She came up with the idea of renting out their attic to supplement the family income.
And the man beside her was the tenant who had been renting from her for two months.
But when she first met him, he was in a very miserable state.
Yet somehow recently, Qian Yu had suddenly changed from his usual down-and-out self to become extremely confident.
This morning, he even helped chase away some thugs who were harassing her and her sister.
Hearing her words, Qian Yu gave Shen Yue a sly smile and confidently said: "Don't worry, landlady sis. From now on, as long as you want, you can come to Cloud Top Pavilion as if it were your own home!"
Haha, Dad has finally ended my probation period.
Now, I, the young master of the Qian family, can finally live carefree and happy like before!
As for landlady sis, with her gentle personality, she'd be perfect as my girlfriend.
Shen Yue naturally didn't believe him, thinking Qian Yu must have hit his head.
How could Qian Yu, who previously couldn't even afford meals, suddenly transform and afford to eat at the most expensive restaurant in Jiang City?
She didn't have the heart to refuse Qian Yu's kind gesture, but who would have thought he was actually bringing them here to dine and dash.
Yes, Shen Yue thought Qian Yu was bringing her and her sister to eat without paying.
She shook her head and said, "Qian Yu, let's just find a street food stall to eat something. This place is too expensive."
As she finished speaking.
The other young and beautiful woman next to Shen Yue also looked at Qian Yu with a contemptuous gaze, saying sarcastically: "Qian Yu, I know you like my sister, but you don't need to lie like this, do you?"
"Actually wanting to eat at Cloud Top Pavilion, is this a place you can afford?"
"I really thought you were going to treat me and my sister to something nice, turns out you're just fooling us."
"You can't even afford a car and have to take a taxi, yet you want to dine at Cloud Top Pavilion. Qian Yu, is something wrong with your brain?"
Hearing this, Shen Yue quickly grabbed her sister's arm and said, "Shen Yun, don't say anymore. Qian Yu means well."
Listening to Shen Yun's sarcastic words, Qian Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Talk about judging a book by its cover!
How could such a gentle landlady sister have such a materialistic younger sister?
Fine, after today, I'll let this materialistic woman know what it means to be... a tycoon!!!
Thinking this, he glanced at Shen Yun and said flatly: "Whether I'm sick in the head or not, you'll find out if you come along."
Saying this, under the surprised gaze of Shen Yue and the astonished look of Shen Yun,
Qian Yu walked towards the entrance of Cloud Top Pavilion with an arrogant face.
The manager of Cloud Top Pavilion was stunned for a moment, wondering internally who this person was.
He didn't look like Miss Su.
But with his excellent professional demeanor, he didn't immediately call security to remove them.
Instead, he stepped forward and smiled, "Sir, may I help you with something?"
"I'm very sorry, but Cloud Top Pavilion has been booked for a private event tonight."
As he finished speaking.
Qian Yu slightly raised his chin and slowly said: "Booked? How much did they pay? I'll double it."
He paused, then arrogantly added: "Also, don't call me sir. Address me as... Young Master Qian."
Upon hearing this.
Shen Yue thought Qian Yu must have lost his mind.
Shen Yun, being younger, felt even more embarrassed by this person, so she whispered to her sister: "Sis, let's leave quickly."
"This Qian Yu has really gone crazy."
The Cloud Top Pavilion manager looked Qian Yu up and down in surprise.
Who do you think you are?
You can afford double what Miss Su is paying?
Besides, even if you could pay, I couldn't possibly give it to you. How would we do business otherwise?
But, to be fair...
For some reason, although he was dressed ordinarily, there was something about his demeanor that subtly exuded an aura of someone in a high position.
What a strange feeling.
The next second.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh---!!!
Vroom vroom vroom---!!!
The roar of a motorcade approached, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Shen Yue and the others looked over.
When they saw it was an impressive fleet of black vehicles,
Shen Yue's eyes widened in shock: "So... so many cars, they all look so expensive."
Shen Yun, after searching through her mental database, exclaimed with sparkling eyes: "Sis! Do you know whose motorcade this is? It's the motorcade of the Su family's young lady!"
"In all of Jiang City! The Su family is one of the top families!"
"Sis, didn't you say before that you wanted to join Su Corporation? Now it's said to be under Miss Su's control!"
"Sis, we've struck gold! To actually encounter Miss Su here! She must be coming here for dinner!"
"Even if we can't go in, it's not bad to catch a glimpse of the ultimate rich heiress!"
The Su family's young lady?!
Shen Yue's eyes were filled with envy. So this is the life of a young lady...
Qian Yu, on the other hand, wore a look of disdain.
What's so great about the Su family? They're just propped up by an old man at the late stage of the Peak Realm.
The Qian family might not have anyone at the late stage of the Peak Realm, but we have money!
With money, what can't you buy?
He turned his gaze away, snickering.
Landlady sis and that materialistic Shen Yun have become so narrow-minded after staying in this backwater for too long.
No matter, later this young master will show them what a tycoon's life is really like.
As for the Su family, heh, they've arrived at just the right time.
Next, I'll let landlady sis see how the Su family, which they consider so powerful,
Will soon be groveling at this young master's feet!
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...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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 is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second?

From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
