Yunzhou City.
"Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye!"
"Brother Ye, so handsome!"
Below the stage, countless fangirls screamed crazily, holding up their light signs.
Under the spotlight.
Xiao Ye wore sunglasses, strumming a guitar, and sang affectionately.
"The black before my eyes is not black, what is the white you speak of... You are my eyes, taking me to experience the changing seasons, you are my eyes, taking me through the crowded sea of people..."
The clear and crisp singing voice echoed.
Countless girls below were so moved that their tears flowed continuously.
They shouted for Xiao Ye to be strong.
"Perfect!"
Xue Yuanyuan, who was directing the entire performance, revealed a look of joy.
Xiao Ye had very high aesthetic appeal; he was extremely handsome.
His identity as a blind person also made it easy to shape an image of someone physically disabled but firm in spirit.
However, what Xue Yuanyuan didn't expect was that Xiao Ye learned and mastered music quite fast.
In just a few days, he could play the guitar with pure mastery.
The only regret was that he had no talent for singing. This was playing the original track, and it was the result of recording countless times in the studio.
Xiao Ye on the stage was merely lip-syncing.
"Thank you everyone."
The song ended.
Xiao Ye bowed, and deafening shouts like rolling waves resounded below.
"Xiao Ye, awesome!"
Offstage, Ziyue cupped her hands like a megaphone and shouted.
Her height of 1.55 meters was indeed not outstanding, and she was quickly submerged and lost in the vast sea of people.
"Little girl, don't push!"
"Huh, cat ears too, from the cosplay circle?"
"Are they real? They feel so comfortable!"
Having her ears pinched by a group of women, Ziyue instantly got anxious: "Don't touch!"
"Oh my, the little girl is quite fierce!"
A bitchy-looking girl next to her mocked, "I'm going to touch them, what are you gonna do about it?"
Just as she was kneading them, another slender hand grabbed her wrist.
The bitchy girl froze, staring blankly at the handsome man wearing sunglasses in front of her.
"Don't touch."
Xiao Ye said indifferently.
The surrounding girls, seeing Xiao Ye's sudden appearance, were all so excited that their hearts were about to leap out, their faces flushed red.
"Xiao Ye!"
Ziyue felt a bit wronged and ran straight into his arms.
This action instantly made the whole venue explode.
What the hell!
This little girl actually threw herself openly into Xiao Ye's arms!
"It's fine now, let's go."
Xiao Ye gently stroked her head and said with a light smile.
Ziyue nodded repeatedly.
Watching the departing figures of Xiao Ye and Ziyue, those girls were all stunned.
"No way, is this little girl Xiao Ye's girlfriend?"
"Sh-should be his younger sister."
"Right, it's his sister! It must be his sister!"
In the office.
Bang!
Xue Yuanyuan slammed her palm on the desk, causing her proud assets to jiggle along with the motion.
"Why did you make such an intimate gesture in public! You've just debuted, do you know how much of an impact such rumors will have on your image!"
Ziyue, on the side, stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, we didn't know either."
Xue Yuanyuan said angrily, "Besides, you two aren't even a couple! Let this be the last time! Go back and practice your fake movements properly, your lip-syncing was off in several places, otherwise it will make the fans suspicious."
Xiao Ye said indifferently, "Director Xue, I might not be able to continue performing from now on. I'm going to a place very far away."
Hearing this, Xue Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? Do you know how much effort the company spent to cultivate you? Now you say you quit, and you just quit!"
Xiao Ye said seriously, "Perhaps this circle isn't suitable for me. I'm sorry."
"Heh, your contract is still with me!"
Xue Yuanyuan held the contract and said seriously.
Riiip!
Xiao Ye raised his sword fingers.
At this moment, the contract in Xue Yuanyuan's hand turned into a sky full of paper confetti.
Like fluttering snowflakes.
"Now the contract is gone, so it's fine, right? Sorry."
Xiao Ye waved to Ziyue: "Let's go."
"Sister Yuanyuan, goodbye!"
Ziyue waved her hand and said with a smile.
"No, you... stop him!"
Xue Yuanyuan shouted.
Several martial artist security guards outside heard the commotion and immediately launched an attack on Xiao Ye.
Thump thump!
"Hey, hey, don't hit him for real!"
Xue Yuanyuan was suddenly startled and hurriedly ran out to say.
Seeing the scene of the security guards lying haphazardly outside, she was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, where were the figures of Xiao Ye and Ziyue?
"Da Zhuang, are you guys okay?"
Xue Yuanyuan suppressed her surprise and asked.
These bodyguards were all martial artists at the Hidden Energy realm. She had hired them at a high price, but she didn't expect them to all fall in a single encounter.
"Hiss! Scared me to death!"
Da Zhuang rubbed his abdomen and stood up tremblingly: "He really is Xiao Ye, I thought it was just the same name!"
The others also looked like they had lingering fears.
"What same name?"
Xue Yuanyuan frowned slightly and asked.
Da Zhuang hastily said, "Director Xue, you probably don't know, but there is a very powerful blind swordsman in the Shura Sect named Xiao Ye. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be him."
"I didn't expect the real person to be so young. What a pity I didn't take a picture. Xiao Ye showing his real face, just with this, I could have posted it on the Martial Arts Alliance APP and made a couple of bucks."
"Director, where did you invite such a dangerous guy like Xiao Ye from?"
"Tell me, how could such a powerful person think of becoming a star!"
"Who knows, maybe it's a sick joke."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Xue Yuanyuan was also a bit confused.
She was busy with company affairs all day, so naturally she didn't know that a person named Xiao Ye had appeared in the Shura Sect.
A massive misunderstanding??
"An Yi! I'm so mad!"
Xue Yuanyuan took out her phone and dialed a number.
...
"Hello?"
An Yi held the phone and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
"An Yi, you bastard, you did this on purpose, right? To actually..."
Click!
An Yi directly pressed hang up.
"Who was it?"
Xue Ruirui asked somewhat curiously.
She always felt that this voice seemed somewhat familiar.
"Nothing, a spam call."
An Yi said, holding a little baby and revealing a smile.
In his arms, the little baby stared with wide eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss, very well-behaved.
This was Zhang Fan and Xue Ruirui's child, born just half a month ago.
"Come, little baby, call me Daddy!" An Yi said teasingly.
"Get lost!"
Zhang Fan glanced at this guy and pondered, "How was the checkup?"
"Very healthy. Just like you, a Wood Spirit Vein. Congratulations."
A smile hooked the corner of An Yi's mouth.
After Zhang Fan heard this, he zoned out slightly.
An Innate Wood Spirit Vein, this was something he hadn't expected.
After all, in this world, people with Innate Spirit Veins were truly too few.
Just look at Xiao Xiao from the Firmament Mansion and you'd know.
An Innate Fire Spirit Vein was treated as an Innate Dao Body.
"Meeting for the first time, Uncle doesn't have much to give you, so take this."
An Yi said, taking out a pendant.
Xue Ruirui hurriedly said, "It's too precious, how, how can we accept this."
She knew that An Yi now had a net worth of hundreds of billions. Any random thing of his was not something ordinary people could come into contact with.
"It's not expensive, 9.9 with free shipping!"
Xue Ruirui: "..."
An Yi put down the child: "Zhang Fan, have you named your son yet?"
Zhang Fan shrugged. "We haven't decided yet."
Xue Ruirui cradled the baby and smiled. "I don't expect him to be some big shot. As long as he grows up safe and sound, that's enough for me."
"Then why not call him Zhang Ping?" An Yi suggested, struck by a sudden flash of inspiration.
Zhang Fan: "..."
Xue Ruirui: "..."
"Well, in that case, let me come up with another one. Let's name him Zhang..."
"We've already picked one. There's no need."
"No, wait, the name I just thought of is really good."
"No need!"
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.

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.

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
