Hold on tight!
An Yi said, leaping straight off the rooftop.
Thud!
Dust scattered everywhere as the two landed firmly on the ground.
Shangguan Qianqian clung tightly to An Yi, her face pale, still shaken from the experience.
"Just jumping off a building! Why did you have to sprint like that?!"
An Yi patted her back. "Hey, we’ve already landed."
"Mm."
Shangguan Qianqian nodded, her beautiful eyes flickering with emotion.
"Shangguan Qianqian?! Is that really you?!"
Suddenly, a girl’s delighted voice rang out.
The newcomer was none other than Nie Qinglan!
She had spotted a man holding a woman, and when she realized the woman was Shangguan Qianqian, she couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.
Then, Nie Qinglan quickly covered her mouth, realizing she might have interrupted an intimate moment.
Wait—
Nie Qinglan froze as if struck by lightning, momentarily stunned.
The man holding Shangguan Qianqian…
Was actually An Yi!!!
Her boyfriend was embracing her idol.
This… this…
"The sky is falling, folks!"
"Qinglan, what are you doing here?" An Yi asked, puzzled.
Nie Qinglan pouted, her voice full of grievance. "I went to the cinema to look for you last night and waited the whole night, but you never showed up."
"Then why didn’t you just call?!"
A vein throbbed on An Yi’s forehead.
Had this girl really waited for him all night?
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, even his stone-cold heart felt a twinge of guilt.
Nie Qinglan whined, "Your number doesn’t even work! A long time ago, whenever I called, you’d always say you were smoking a cigar. After two times, you blocked me."
An Yi: "..."
Now he remembered.
This girl was too much of a handful. Back then, to avoid her pestering, he’d given her Ding Renfeng’s number instead… Ahem, not important.
Shangguan Qianqian pondered for a moment before looking at Nie Qinglan. "So you’re Nie Qinglan?"
She was inwardly shocked.
Empress Nie Qinglan?!
The underground ruler who unified Xia Country’s shadow factions?
In her past life, Nie Qinglan had been her idol!
Throughout history, few women had ever achieved such heights.
What surprised Shangguan Qianqian was that the current Nie Qinglan still acted like a rebellious teen.
"Yes, yes! I’m Nie Qinglan! Oh my god, my idol knows my name! Shangguan Qianqian, I adore you! You know, ever since you debuted two years ago, I’ve followed everything you’ve done—your songs, your dramas, I’ve watched them all! Especially the movie Where is Diaochan?—I bought tickets and watched it over a dozen times in theaters…"
Nie Qinglan’s eyes sparkled as she gushed like an excited fangirl, chattering nonstop.
This left Shangguan Qianqian both flattered and overwhelmed.
She realized that the larger-than-life figures from her past life weren’t as untouchable as she’d thought after being reborn.
Take the leaders of the Asura Sect, for example.
An Yi, the sect master known for dominating the world and slashing through the heavens, was actually a shameless, sleazy loser!
Lin Chen, the Grim Reaper, was just a scheming jerk.
Bai Xiu, the Nightmare, was a perpetually drowsy dead-fish-eyed guy.
Fang Jueming, the Fist Emperor, was a justice-obsessed, slightly dumb little twink!
And then there was Chen Bing, the sect’s strategist nicknamed "Thousand Schemes"—just a four-eyed nerd…
Shangguan Qianqian suddenly felt that maybe she could handle the role of vice-sect master after all.
Truthfully, the real authority in the sect lay with the sect master and the elders.
Her position as vice-sect master was more like a chief of staff—responsible for managing internal affairs and keeping things running smoothly.
Important? Sure. Indispensable? Not really.
Come to think of it, in her past life, the Asura Sect hadn’t even had a vice-sect master…
"Qianqian, why are you with An Yi…?"
After rambling for ages, Nie Qinglan finally circled back to the burning question.
Shangguan Qianqian replied seriously, "An Yi is my boss!"
"He’s your boss?!"
Nie Qinglan’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
Unthinkable!
Inconceivable!
Even though she often jokingly called An Yi "Boss" and pretended to be his secretary, Nie Qinglan had never taken it seriously.
What kind of boss walked around in flip-flops and cheap clothes, leading a bunch of small-time thugs?!
Ahem. "Well, I’m planning to start an entertainment company. Shangguan Qianqian is my first signed artist," An Yi declared calmly.
The epitome of low-key flexing!
Right now, he almost had the aura of a seasoned capitalist.
Ding! Side Quest: [Establish an Entertainment Company]! Reward: Secondary Profession [Singer]! Villain Points +100!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Villain System delivered a new mission.
An Yi: "..."
He wanted to curse.
The Asura Sect, which he’d somehow ended up founding, was already giving him a headache.
And now this entertainment company mission?!
He’d only just had the idea!
Why did the task pop up so fast?!
This Villain System was getting more and more ridiculous.
Suddenly, he missed the old days when it assigned him petty tasks like stealing, groping, robbing, and extorting.
Nie Qinglan’s eyes widened in amazement. "Really?! Then… do you need my help? I’m really interested in acting! I can sing too—my underlings all say I sound amazing…"
She wasn’t cut out for stardom.
If she could’ve made it in the industry, her father’s underworld connections would’ve turned her into a princess overnight—resources, promotions, hype, they could’ve forced her into the spotlight!
But in the end, since her only talent was her pretty face (with zero skills in singing, dancing, or acting), she’d been forced to "further her studies" at Donghai University.
Seeing Nie Qinglan’s excitement, An Yi had a sudden idea. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"In that case, I’ll leave the task of setting up the entertainment company to you! Go for it!"
Nie Qinglan: "..."
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 + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
