The Netherfrost Divine Realm, by the lakeside garden in the back mountains.
As night fell, the bonfire crackled, and the spirit beast meat on the grill sizzled, golden oil dripping onto the charcoal, releasing an irresistible aroma.
Where did the spirit beast meat come from? Don’t worry about it.
"Qin Luo, is this piece done yet?"
Su Muwan crouched beside the grill, her eyes fixed on the largest chunk of fire lizard meat.
"Thirty more seconds."
Qin Luo flipped the skewers and sprinkled a handful of spices, causing the aroma to explode instantly.
"Thirty seconds?!"
Su Muwan pouted. "This young lady’s stomach can’t wait that long!"
Slap!
She reached out to grab it, only for Qin Luo to swat her hand away. "Young Mistress, eating it half-raw will give you a stomachache."
"Hmph! A mere stomachache? This young lady can cure it with a snap of her fingers!"
"Sure, sure, you’re amazing."
Qin Luo sighed and quickly handed her a finished skewer. "Here, snack on this first."
Su Muwan took the skewer, took a bite, and her eyes instantly lit up. "Mmm! Delicious!"
Her cheeks puffed up like a hamster’s as she continued directing him. "Save the biggest piece for me—no one else gets it!"
"Fine, fine."
Qin Luo nodded while continuing to grill.
Honestly, he had to admire Su Muwan. Despite slacking off for so many days...
But... just as she claimed.
Playing video games seemed to have actually honed her so-called "micro-control" skills.
Not only was her spiritual energy manipulation more precise, but her cultivation had also improved again.
Sometimes Qin Luo wondered—if others were called "chosen ones," then what did that make Su Muwan?
The heavens’ favorite daughter?
The next moment.
"Sister~"
Su Bailian glided over in a flowing white dress, carrying a plate of meticulously sliced spirit fruits. With a sweet smile, she offered, "Meat is so greasy. Would you like some chilled spirit fruits to cleanse your palate?"
Su Muwan shot her a glance and snorted. "What do you want this time, being so nice out of nowhere?"
"How could Sister think of me like that?"
Su Bailian lowered her head pitifully, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "I just feel bad seeing you work so hard all day..."
"Cut the act!"
Su Muwan snatched the plate. "I’ll take the fruits. You can leave now."
Su Bailian: "..."
Boqi crouched nearby, his dog eyes locked onto the meat in Su Muwan’s hand, his tail wagging like a propeller. "Woof!"
Su Muwan raised an eyebrow. "Why is your dog even fatter now?"
Su Bailian gently patted Boqi’s head. "He’s just fluffy~"
Boqi nodded. "...Woof."
Then continued staring at the meat.
Su Muwan grew suspicious.
She looked at Su Bailian.
The latter blinked innocently.
Su Muwan... understood.
She was stunned. "Wait—you want me to feed this fatty my grilled meat?"
"Fatty? How rude, Sister Su!"
Su Bailian hugged Boqi indignantly, shoving him toward Su Muwan. "Boqi’s appetite has been growing lately. Ordinary steaks can’t satisfy him anymore."
"Could you really... let him go hungry like this?"
Boqi’s eyes shimmered. "Woof!"
Su Muwan’s eye twitched. "Shouldn’t he just chew on bones or something..."
"Come on!"
Su Bailian set Boqi down and emphasized, "Don’t compare my Boqi to some random stray!"
"He’s a spirit beast!"
"Sure, sure."
"Sister Su~~"
"?"
"Ahem... fine, if you won’t give it, I’ll just leave... If you won’t, I’ll ask Brother-in-law for some instead~~"
Su Muwan was speechless, but hearing Su Bailian call Qin Luo "Brother-in-law"...
Didn’t that just prove how obviously she and Qin Luo were an old married couple?
Ah, well.
Su Muwan sighed softly.
She was an adult now.
Why bother arguing with a junior like Su Bailian?
Sometimes, Su Muwan needed to be the bigger person.
So.
"Little Lian."
Su Bailian froze, then turned to Su Muwan.
Seeing her gentle, benevolent smile, Su Bailian’s heart skipped a beat.
Don’t tell me... Su Muwan, you...
"Call me ‘dearest elder sister,’ and I’ll give you the meat."
"In your dreams."
"?"
Slap slap slap slap!!!
"Waaah!!"
Su Bailian ran off crying again.
Su Muwan took a big bite of the meat and rolled her eyes.
Can you believe this?
She’d thought it would just be her and Qin Luo enjoying a private barbecue.
But somehow, word got out, and now it had turned into a group gathering.
"Long Long! Meat!"
"Xueqi!"
"Dean!"
"Wahh!"
And just like that, it became a grand Divine Realm team-building event.
Sigh.
But whatever. She was an adult now.
Su Muwan nodded to herself.
After eating and drinking their fill...
Bang bang bang!!
Everyone lay on the grass, watching fireworks.
Su Muwan leaned against Qin Luo’s shoulder, lazily muttering, "Ugh... so tired... exhausted..."
Qin Luo chuckled. "How are you tired, Young Mistress? All you did was eat."
"Hmph~~"
Su Muwan nestled comfortably against him, humming. "You know how some people are."
"Tired from going out, tired from eating, tired from socializing, tired from moving."
"That’s me."
Qin Luo grinned. "And you’re proud of it."
"Damn right."
Su Muwan sniffed.
Qin Luo gazed at the starry sky.
The night breeze brushed past as sparks rose into the air, dissolving into countless stars.
The daily life of the Netherfrost Divine Realm was lively and warm.
But sadly...
Things were about to get busy again.
While letting Su Muwan relax, he spoke up.
"Young Mistress."
"Hm?"
"I need to go away for a while."
"Eh?"
Su Muwan jerked her head up. "Why so sudden? Where?"
Qin Luo ruffled her hair. "To stir up trouble."
"??"
"You okay with that?"
"......"
After a few seconds of silence, Su Muwan huffed. "As long as it’s not chasing women, how could I say no?"
"Young Mistress, why are you still on about this... I have zero luck with women besides you."
"You’d better not."
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power.

In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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?

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.
