This, this...
An Yi thought he must still be dreaming and rubbed his eyes.
Yep, no mistake—there was indeed a naked silver-haired beauty lying in his bed!
Holy crap!
An Yi jolted fully awake.
What the hell was going on?
Who was she?
He hadn’t even drunk last night!
He racked his brain, trying to recall the events of the previous evening.
But the key point was—nothing had happened last night!
Still, damn, this girl was drop-dead gorgeous!
Stealing another glance at the porcelain-white, alluring figure of the silver-haired girl, An Yi forced himself to avert his gaze. "See no evil," he muttered.
Too bad some things just couldn’t be controlled by sheer willpower.
Ding! Target meets criteria!
The system’s notification chimed in his head.
An Yi rolled his eyes. "With looks like that, I don’t need your low-tier system to point it out."
Ding! Side Quest: [Rogue Master] activated!
The system’s voice echoed in his mind again.
An Yi instinctively opened the quest panel, then froze.
This damn system!
[Rogue Master]
Objective: Get kissed by three girls within one day! (No active solicitation or hints allowed.)
Reward: Evil Power Value +30! Charm +3
Progress: 0/3
An Yi let out a cold, mocking laugh.
In his entire twenty years of existence, he’d never been kissed without initiating it first.
Hell, he’d only lost his first kiss a few months ago.
Now the system expected him to get three spontaneous kisses in a single day? Dream on!
Wait—what even was this "Charm" stat?
Curious, he pulled up his densely packed attribute panel and scrolled to "Charm."
His Charm was a measly 5!
The standard for an average person was 6!
What the hell?! He didn’t even meet the baseline!
No wonder people still mistook him for a loser despite his handsome face.
"Hey, miss, wake up."
An Yi ignored the garbage system and gently nudged the girl’s smooth, bare shoulder.
No response.
Oh shit—was she dead?!
Panicking, he quickly reached out to check her pulse, his hand hovering over her chest.
Just then, the girl’s eyes snapped open—amber irises locking onto him.
An Yi awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Uh… you’re awake?"
"Grrr—!"
The silver-haired girl lunged, teeth bared, aiming straight for An Yi’s head.
"WHAT THE—?!"
He jerked back, but not fast enough.
Her teeth sank into his cheek.
"OW! OW! OW! LET GO!" An Yi howled, face still clamped in her jaws.
"Pah!"
She released him with a disdainful glare.
Rubbing his cheek, An Yi felt the distinct imprint of her teeth.
Ding! [Rogue Master] Progress: 1/3!
An Yi: "..."
Staring into those amber eyes, An Yi suddenly remembered the silver dragon stored in his inventory.
Same eyes!
He quickly checked his storage space—sure enough, the dragon was gone.
"Are you… that dragon?" he asked, baffled.
Holy hell, had the dragon just turned into a girl?!
The silver-haired girl didn’t answer. Instead, she pounced again.
An Yi braced himself—was she seriously throwing herself at him now?
But then—
Her form phased through his body and vanished.
An Yi blinked.
That’s it?
He checked his storage again. Yep, the silver dragon was back inside, curled up peacefully.
A sinking feeling hit him.
Having a dragon-girl hybrid watching his every move? No thanks.
At least she seemed to sleep most of the time.
Just then, the bedroom door creaked open.
Hongtian shuffled in, yawning. "Why aren’t you up yet? Order takeout—I’m starving."
Studying Hongtian, An Yi grew curious.
If beasts could transform into humans at a certain cultivation level…
What would this black dog turn into?
Judging by Hongtian’s voice, probably some sleazy middle-aged dude.
"Hey, Hongtian," An Yi ventured, "can all demonic beasts turn human?"
Hongtian scoffed. "I’m a feral beast. Why would I turn into a human? In my era, you hairless monkeys were just food. Why would I wanna look like my next meal?"
Before An Yi could process that, Hongtian impatiently barked, "Let’s go eat out. I need to hit the store for cigarettes."
"Here’s money—buy them yourself."
"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen a dog buy cigarettes?"
"Have you ever seen a dog smoke?!"

Meanwhile, on television...
"Youthful Elixir and Slimming Pills contain absolutely no harmful ingredients. I stake my professional reputation on this—they’re made from natural botanical extracts, free of chemical additives, with negligible impact on the human body."
A stern-faced expert spoke earnestly to the camera, lying through his teeth.
As a renowned authority in biochemical research, his words carried weight with the public.
The comment section exploded:
"No danger? Bullshit! People are literally smoking from their skin! Terrifying!"
"Definitely shady. No way I’m letting my wife use that crap."
"Shut the hell up! You’re just cheap! Can’t afford it? Then admit you’re broke and move on!"
"My wife used both—lost over 70 pounds, skin’s glowing like she’s 30 again. Soft, smooth, perfect."
A girl in her thirties asked, "Uncle upstairs, how old are you?"
Next, the scene shifted, and there was another interview.
The interviewed girl was young and slender, exuding sunshine and confidence all over her body.
"I've bought the slimming pills. I'd like to share my personal opinion. I have an easily - gain - weight constitution. I've been fat since childhood and couldn't lose weight no matter how hard I tried. I never thought I'd ever be associated with the word 'pretty' in my life."
As the girl said this, her eyes welled up with tears.
Then, her previous photos were shown on the screen.
She was big - boned and had a thick waist, a double chin, and her face looked greasy.
The sharp contrast immediately shocked the whole audience.
Dense bullet comments filled the screen.
"Is it real or fake! Oh my god, the contrast is so huge!"
"Never mind. It's only 200,000. I'll sell everything I have and give it a try!"
"Really, rather than living an ugly life forever, I'd rather live ten beautiful years."
The interviewed girl kept wiping her tears and showed a relieved smile.
"Before this, as a girl weighing over 200 pounds, I never felt like a woman.
I'm really grateful to Wudu. Thank you so much. It's the slimming pills that made me realize that I actually have good facial features and that I can be so pretty. If I hadn't lost weight, I might have always been a fat girl mocked and ridiculed by others."
"After losing weight, I've finally realized that I'm a woman. I can bravely pursue the person I like and calmly accept the pursuit and affection from boys."
The bullet comments were filled with words of empathy, "Come on" and "Thank you, Wudu".
The video ended here.
"What do you think?" Lan Ruoxi looked at An Yi and asked.
An Yi gasped and sighed repeatedly, "This marketing strategy is amazing!"
In this era when everyone has enough to eat and live comfortably,
aging and obesity are the two pain points that trouble people's lives!
The two products launched by Wudu Beauty can perfectly solve these problems!
The Youth - Preserving Elixir competes with the Jade - Complexion Elixir of Anjia Company.
However, in comparison, the Youth - Preserving Elixir has more outstanding effects, a lower price, and it has an expert - certified natural plant - extract formula.
For a while, the Jade - Complexion Elixir of Anjia Company was severely suppressed, and its sales volume plummeted.
Meanwhile, Wudu Space swept across the entire beauty market in Daxia.
Its revenue and profit were incredibly high!
Lan Ruoxi bit her lower lip gently, looking anxious. "An Yi, how can we break the deadlock?"
An Yi said calmly, "Let it play out for a while.
The first batch of people who tried the Youth - Preserving Elixir and the slimming pills should start showing symptoms soon."
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."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
