Lan Ruoxi held the plastic bag in her hand and said timidly, "An Yi, this doesn’t seem like enough for twenty thousand pills, does it?"
An Yi waved his hand nonchalantly. "Just grind these into powder, and it’ll be enough."
"But what about the effects—"
"The effects are unbeatable. One pill sharpens your mind, two keep you from ever feeling tired."
Seeing An Yi’s confident expression, Lan Ruoxi smiled faintly.
Though this guy usually acted carefree, there were times when his mind worked with meticulous precision. When it came to handling things, he had his own unique methods.
"Alright then, I’ll arrange for someone to start making them according to the Huyang Pill formula," Lan Ruoxi said softly, gazing at him with a gentle smile.
"Ruoxi, you’ve been working hard lately," An Yi said seriously, looking at her.
Truth be told, he was practically a hands-off boss.
Almost all matters, big and small, in An Corporation were managed by Lan Ruoxi.
Now, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty toward her.
"So, what’s my reward?" Lan Ruoxi asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on An Yi with a playful smile.
"Reward?"
An Yi glanced at Lan Ruoxi and swallowed slightly.
Honestly, though she looked like the picture of an innocent girl, her professional attire accentuated her stunning, curvaceous figure to perfection.
The only downside was that she wasn’t wearing the black stockings he loved so much.
His gaze lingered on her. "What kind of reward do you want?"
Lan Ruoxi, appearing delicate and shy, blushed and said, "W-what are you thinking? Your eyes are so... wicked!"
"Wicked? Are they?" An Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, you’re my proper girlfriend. What’s wrong with being a little wicked?"
The one at home had just been saddled with a new master, making it hard for him to make a move.
But this one at the company had no such restrictions!
Noticing An Yi’s mischievous intentions, Lan Ruoxi whispered, her face flushed, "D-don’t go too far. We’re at the office..."
"Relax, I’m the king of restraint," An Yi said as he moved closer to her, locking the office door with one hand.
The lock mechanism had already been destroyed by his inner energy!
Not even the heavens could get in now!
Gazing at Lan Ruoxi’s luscious red lips, An Yi didn’t hesitate—he leaned in for a kiss.
Buzz~
His phone vibrated.
An Yi’s face darkened as he pulled it out.
He swore that no matter who was calling, he would smash their skull in!
"Kid, where’d you run off to?"
A soft, sweet voice came through the phone.
An Yi’s arm broke out in goosebumps.
Mu Qingyi? Why was she calling?
"Ahem, Master... what’s up?" An Yi replied awkwardly.
No matter how much he disliked her, she was still Shen Muxuan’s master. What happened last night had been beyond his control.
At the time, his waist had been locked in place by her legs—there was no escaping!
"Oh, nothing much. I’m just a little hungry. Muxuan’s cooking is terrible, so I was thinking about yours," Mu Qingyi said amiably.
An Yi’s eyebrow twitched. She wanted him to come back and cook for her?
This woman had some nerve!
"Alright, just wait. I’ll be right back!" An Yi said, humoring her.
After all, she was his master. He had to at least give her that much face.
Then, Shen Muxuan’s voice came through the phone: "An Yi, don’t come back! Master already wrecked our house, and she said she’s going to smash your skull into dust!"
An Yi: "..."
Hanging up, An Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
More than ever, he was convinced that sneaking out before dawn had been the right call.
She must’ve found out about the Celestial Grass incident!
"Yeah, not going home today."
He’d return only when that woman went back to the Immortal Sect.
Lan Ruoxi asked curiously, "Was that Muxuan’s voice I heard?"
"Hmm, hmm? Uh, well..."
An Yi was thinking about how to explain.
Lan Ruoxi smiled softly and said, "An Yi, should we grab something to eat? It's almost noon."
An Yi let out a relieved sigh. "Sure."
But the carefully built atmosphere had been abruptly interrupted by that phone call!
What a shame.
The restaurant was right downstairs from the company.
Now, it had been taken over by the An family business.
"Here, try this spare rib—it's really good. The shrimp is great too."
Lan Ruoxi picked up food for An Yi, then considerately peeled the shrimp for him.
"Mmm, it’s delicious."
An Yi took a few bites and praised it.
"Definitely a cut above the little diners downstairs."
"Then I’ll peel a few more for you." Lan Ruoxi smiled gently.
"Just eat! Why are you serving me? Aren’t you tired?"
An Yi said helplessly, swiftly peeling several shrimp and placing them neatly into Lan Ruoxi’s bowl.
Lan Ruoxi blinked in surprise. "Wow, you’re amazing."
"There’s plenty more where that came from! You haven’t seen half of it." An Yi boasted playfully.
Lan Ruoxi’s face flushed as she muttered, "Stop talking nonsense..."
She took small, delicate bites of her food while An Yi reached over and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her stunning face.
"Ruoxi, you’ll definitely make a wonderful wife someday."
The words slipped out before An Yi could stop himself.
Gentle, considerate, hardworking, and brilliant—not to mention her breathtaking beauty and enviable figure.
She was every man’s dream.
Lan Ruoxi’s face turned crimson. "W-why are you suddenly saying that?"
"Nothing, just speaking my mind."
An Yi chuckled. "Let’s eat. I don’t have much going on today, so I’ll stay at the company."
Meanwhile...
In a desolate wilderness outside Yunzhou City.
"Stay back! All of you, stay the hell back! I was never a good man to begin with! The lives I’ve taken? Close to ten thousand! Who dares come at me?!"
Dong Kun, the Demon Blade, stood with disheveled hair, gripping two butcher knives tightly as he glared at the men before him.
His eyes were bloodshot, his entire body trembling with madness.
His beach shorts were soaked in blood—whether his own or others’, it was impossible to tell. Gone was the effortless cool he had displayed in front of An Yi and the others just yesterday.
For a full day and night, he had been hunted, fleeing for his life.
Two tokens from the Hongtian Secret Realm were far too tempting.
Even if they couldn’t take him down openly, underhanded tactics would do the trick.
After all, everyone had moments of weakness.
"Mr. Dong, you can’t keep both tokens to yourself. How about handing one over?"
A martial artist with a Western-style glasses and a weaselly mustache—Zhou Yuanjun—smirked.
Dong Kun sneered. "Hand it over? To a piece of trash like you, Zhou Yuanjun? Not a chance."
"Then don’t blame me for forgetting our past ties." Zhou Yuanjun waved his hand.
In an instant, the others closed in.
A top-200 fighter on the Heavenly Rankings wasn’t something these small fries could handle under normal circumstances.
But Dong Kun was already exhausted—their odds were good.
Gripping his butcher knives, Dong Kun’s gaze turned vicious.
He’d die before giving up those tokens.
"RAAAAH!"
A roar tore through the air as blood splattered.
The setting sun painted the sky crimson.
A lone crow let out a mournful cry as it circled overhead.
Zhou Yuanjun wiped the blood off his flintlock pistol and grinned.
His men continued hacking at Dong Kun’s lifeless body.
Dong Kun’s eyes remained wide open—staring, unseeing.
Another slash landed on his face.
"Enough, stop. He's beyond recognition—no chance of survival now."
Zhou Yuanjun frowned as he surveyed the mangled corpse.
"After all, we were old drinking buddies. Leaving him in pieces is too cruel."
He reached into Dong Kun's pocket and retrieved two tokens, a vicious smirk twisting his lips.
"Finally... these two tokens—"
Something's wrong!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives.
