The black suit accentuated his tall, slender frame, making him appear even more upright.
The slightly casual cut kept him looking youthful and handsome without being overly stiff.
An Yi examined himself in the mirror several times before retrieving a never-used hair spray from his storage space to tidy up his hairstyle.
Glancing down at his slippers, he decisively swapped them out.
Clearly, those cheap slippers no longer matched his billionaire status.
Slipping into a pair of polished leather shoes, he tapped his feet lightly—they felt decent enough.
The suit was custom-made, the shoes genuine leather—this outfit alone cost nearly 100,000.
Not bad.
Admiring the strikingly handsome young man in the mirror, An Yi allowed a faint smile to curl his lips.
"An Yi, are you up yet? Time for breakfast."
Liu Yuefen’s voice came through the door as she knocked lightly.
"Coming right away," An Yi replied promptly.
Now that he had acknowledged his relationship with Lan Ruoxi, Liu Yuefen was effectively his future mother-in-law.
First impressions mattered—second ones too.
The moment An Yi stepped out, Liu Yuefen’s eyes lit up with pleasant surprise.
An Yi was naturally good-looking, but with the system’s +0.5 charm boost and the effects of the Jade Beauty Serum, his appeal had skyrocketed to nearly 9.0!
A 9/10 in looks was practically unreal—even those heavily made-up idols on variety shows couldn’t compete.
As the saying goes, a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law over time.
Liu Yuefen nodded approvingly. "That suit looks sharp on you, An Yi. And with October just around the corner, leather shoes are a good choice."
An Yi: "..."
Liu Yuefen distinctly remembered him wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and slippers when he dropped her daughter off yesterday.
Where had this high-end suit come from?
"Come eat while it’s hot. Ruoxi’s still busy in the kitchen," Liu Yuefen said warmly.
An Yi smiled. "Thank you, Auntie."
Lan Ruoxi was still on the phone, her uncle Lan Yihe’s shrill, condescending voice blaring through the receiver.
"Ruoxi, your uncle only wants what’s best for you. What’s the point of studying when you’ll just end up married anyway—"
Lan Ruoxi cut in coolly, "Sorry, but I already have a boyfriend."
"What?! A boyfriend?! How could you date someone when you should be focusing on school?"
Lan Yihe’s voice turned shrill with anger. "Bring him over! I’d love to see what kind of trash thinks he’s good enough for our Lan family!"
Lan Ruoxi ignored him and was about to hang up when An Yi strode over and took the phone.
"Uncle, remember me?"
Lan Yihe hesitated. "Who is this?"
"Must be nice having such a short memory. Last time, I slapped you right outside the supermarket," An Yi said with a chuckle.
This rotten uncle really had no shame.
Trying the same cheap trick twice?
How bold.
Or just plain stupid.
"You little brat! Don’t tell me you’re Ruoxi’s boyfriend?" Lan Yihe seethed. There was no way he could forget—An Yi had knocked out two of his molars!
"Guilty as charged," An Yi replied cheerfully.
"You—wait, Ruoxi—Ruoxi, give the phone back to—"
Click.
Lan Ruoxi hung up, exhaled deeply, and turned to An Yi. "Let’s go eat."
An Yi raised an eyebrow and grinned.
Though only half a year had passed, Lan Ruoxi had matured significantly.
She wouldn’t let her uncle bully her anymore.
Not when she had Ding Renfeng and the others under her, itching for a fight.
If anyone dared harass her or her mother again, she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.
Lan Ruoxi’s home, though located in an urban village, was neat and cozy.
The small courtyard was adorned with well-tended flowers, and the modest interior was decorated warmly.
"Auntie, your cooking is amazing," An Yi praised between hearty bites.
He wasn’t just being polite—Liu Yuefen’s culinary skills were genuinely impressive, easily outclassing Shen Muxuan by a mile.
"Eat up, then! Let me get you some soup," Liu Yuefen beamed, delighted by the compliment. "You students are always so busy—you need proper nutrition to keep your minds sharp."
By the end of the meal, An Yi couldn’t refuse Liu Yuefen’s enthusiastic refills and ended up stuffed to the point of hiccupping.
Lan Ruoxi, however, seemed distracted.
"Auntie, Ruoxi’s grandmother wants to meet me. We’re planning to visit her," An Yi said casually.
Leaving that fat nuisance unchecked wasn’t an option—it was time to settle things.
Lan Ruoxi’s lashes fluttered slightly, as if she already knew what An Yi had in mind.
Liu Yuefen sighed. "That old woman is impossible… but fine, go ahead."
The Lan family wasn’t particularly prominent in Jiangbei City.
They’d once done well in real estate, but with the market downturn in recent years, small-scale developers like them had been hit hardest.
The taxi came to a stop.
An Yi and Lan Ruoxi stood before the Lan family villa.
After a quick glance around, An Yi shook his head slightly.
The gap between the rich and the really rich was vast.
Compared to Qin Yao’s lavish mansion, the Lan villa looked downright shabby.
"An Yi, we don’t have to do this," Lan Ruoxi said hesitantly.
An Yi ruffled her hair playfully. "This so-called uncle keeps harassing my girlfriend. That’s not something I’ll let slide."
Lan Ruoxi smiled faintly, warmth flickering in her eyes.
This guy… he really was her boyfriend now.
"That pink Lambo is obnoxious as hell," An Yi remarked, eyeing the car.
Time to buy a car of his own.
A house could wait—the rented apartment held too many memories to give up just yet.
But a car? Definitely. And it had to be flashier than this one.
Otherwise, how would it reflect his billionaire status?
Lan Ruoxi’s expression darkened.
That specific shade of pink on a Lamborghini was unmistakable—there was only one in all of Jiangbei City.
Gu Hongyun, the young master of the Gu family.
What was he doing here?
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!
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
