Stepping out of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
An Yi patted Chen Bing on the shoulder. “Glasses, follow me!”
“My name is Chen Bing!” Chen Bing pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said.
Without another word, An Yi led Chen Bing to a secluded, dimly lit grove.
“What do you want to ask?” Chen Bing asked, putting some distance between them, pushing up his glasses.
“You’re always pushing your glasses up—doesn’t your nose hurt?” An Yi asked seriously.
Chen Bing’s voice was cold. “No, it doesn’t.”
“Oh, I just pulled you over because I wanted to ask—how are things going with Tang Xiaoya now?” An Yi said earnestly.
Chen Bing’s tone turned icy. “Why do you care?”
“As the leader of the Asura Sect, it’s necessary to care about the mental and physical health of our members. What if you turned out to be… you know, a ‘g’!?” An Yi said with a straight face.
Chen Bing’s hand pushed at his glasses, veins bulging and trembling slightly.
At that moment, An Yi glanced toward a corner at his waist, his expression suddenly serious. “The person left?”
Chen Bing nodded. “The Law Enforcer we were monitoring, named Hong Lu, has just left.”
“Phew, these women from the Law Enforcement Bureau really are a handful,” An Yi said with a grin.
“If only all these girls were like Yan Zhi, honest and straightforward,” he added.
“We’re all being watched. The number of assassins is unknown. We have to be extra cautious moving forward,” Chen Bing said thoughtfully.
“The enemy lurks in the shadows, while we stand in the light. We don’t even know how many enemies there are.”
“Facing relentless sieges from the world’s top assassins, no matter how strong, even the best warriors can’t hold out forever.”
“If only there was a way to infiltrate the Paradise Organization from within.”
An Yi pulled out a demon mask from his storage space and toyed with it thoughtfully.
Actually, he had an immature idea.
But it might just be worth a try!
“Planning to take on the Paradise Organization head-on?”
Chen Bing raised an eyebrow and asked.
“To say ‘decisive battle with the Paradise Organization’ would scare outsiders to death.”
“But Chen Bing knew An Yi truly meant it.”
“How’s the Northern Border situation?”
An Yi toyed with the mask, asking calmly.
“We’ve already reached a cooperation agreement with the Northern Soviet Elephant Corps!” Chen Bing replied leisurely.
An Yi slowly put on the ornate yet terrifying demon mask. A wave of solemn killing intent radiated out.
“Chen Bing, I need you to head to the Northern Border. I’ll handle persuasion with the Temple of the Gods, the Dao Alliance, and the Law Enforcement Bureau.”
After hearing this, Chen Bing smiled, cupping his fists respectfully. “Understood!”

Outside the prison gate of the Law Enforcement Bureau headquarters.
Hongtian shook his head, trailing behind An Yi with a bored look. “What do you want me to do this time?”
“Can you still read minds?” An Yi asked.
“Come on, with my current strength, that’s impossible!” Hongtian shook his dog-like head and denied it.
An Yi pondered, “What would it take?”
“Maybe two more Level 4 Spirit Cores?” Hongtian guessed.
An Yi showed a sinister smile and grabbed the dog leash.
Hongtian hurriedly said, “Hey, hey, really, I’m not extorting Spirit Cores! I just need two more Level 4 ones.”
“Fine, I’ll get you what you want!”
An Yi looked at the Law Enforcement Bureau’s main gate and said calmly.
Inside the prison.
Jiang Cheng sat on the chair, legs crossed in the classic “second brother” style, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. Beneath the half-long strands of gray hair hanging over his forehead, his eyes were lazily narrowed.
An Yi was whistling absentmindedly, wearing a guilty expression as he stared up at the ceiling.
Inside the cage was a large black dog, panting as it gnawed on a spiritual core.
Hongtian was chewing away, feeling touched at the same time.
He’d always thought this guy was a stingy human beast, but today he was surprisingly generous—he actually gave him three Level 4 spiritual cores!
Right now, An Yi’s image in his mind had completely flipped; he was no longer a stingy human beast.
Three Level 4 spiritual cores!
That’s a big move!
Clearly someone who’s destined for great things!
“Hey, An Yi, what kind of dog are you? You actually need ten Level 4 spiritual cores?”
Jiang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and raised an eyebrow. “You absolutely have to get this done for me. The Enforcement Bureau only has these ten Level 4 spiritual cores. If you fail, Han Tuzi will come after me with everything he’s got!”
An Yi sneered, “Cheapskate, it’s just a few spiritual cores! Your mindset is too small.”
“But I see your dog only ate three cores?” Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully.
An Yi replied righteously, “You don’t understand. After using this ability, the dog’s body can’t hold up and needs continuous nourishment to recover. The remaining seven cores are basically useless.”
Jiang Cheng:
He vaguely felt like he’d been played.
At that moment, a flash of light flickered across Hongtian’s body!
It hiccupped and said aloud, “Almost ready, let’s go!”
The gate opened!
Inside, a big bearded man shivered, thinking he was about to be sent to the morgue.
When he saw a one-eyed black dog, he was dumbfounded.
Suddenly—
Hongtian transformed into a magnificent giant wolf, its massive body taking up nearly half the space in the cell.
Wolf? Dog?
Who cares about the difference!
A powerful sense of oppression surged forth, making the big bearded man tremble in fear, stepping back a pace, wetting his pants.
“Look me in the eye!”
Hongtian pressed its canine head against the big man’s skull.
The big man didn’t dare slack off and squinted one eye, locking eyes with the fiery red single eye.
Hongtian:
Damn it!
How dare you mock my one eye?!
A buzzing sound—
A swirl of black flames rose up, enveloping the big man completely.
After a long while, the black flames dissipated, and the big man collapsed weakly to the ground.
“Is he dead?”
An Yi raised an eyebrow.
Hongtian shook his head, “No. With my current ability, I can only use the most primitive soul-search technique to forcibly seize his memories. Now, he’s memoryless.”
Jiang Cheng smiled, “Good, so it wasn’t a waste of ten spiritual cores!”
“Ten cores?”
Hongtian blinked in surprise.
An Yi hurriedly said, “Quick, Hongtian, pass the big man’s memories to me!”
Hongtian said seriously, “It’s painful. You have to hold on!”
An Yi wore a cocky grin, “I’m the head of the Shura Sect!”
“Ahhh!!”
A piercing scream echoed through the cell.
Jiang Cheng frowned deeply and covered his ears.
Not long after,
An Yi staggered out, wiping the saliva off his clothes, gritting his teeth as he grabbed Hongtian’s leash. “Damn it, how can it hurt this much!”
“I told you, it’s going to hurt a lot!” Hongtian said with a teasing tone.
Watching this guy suffer was damn satisfying!
An Yi gritted his teeth.
If it weren’t for his immortal martial body, the mental shock just now would have been enough to turn him into a drooling fool—twice over!
Something’s off!
An Yi raised an eyebrow. “There’s a gap in the memory.”
Hongtian explained, “Definitely. I used soul-searching technique to extract three-quarters of the memories, but by the time I passed them to you, only half remained.”
An Yi sifted through the memories, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Luckily, it’s nothing serious. The key information is all intact.
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history.

I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
