The two of them walked aimlessly along Huaibei Road, with the sunlight shining from behind, enveloping them both in a hazy glow.
Gu Chenan took Su Qianmo to his favorite small restaurant, where they ate some uniquely memorable dishes.
Then they strolled along the pedestrian street, holding milk tea and snacks in their hands, eating and browsing as they went.
In the novel world, Su Qianmo was the young lady of the Su family, the company's CEO, and Donghai's number one beauty.
These three titles required her to maintain a dignified demeanor at all times.
But here, she was none of those things.
Correspondingly, she felt free from psychological burdens, and the relaxed atmosphere of not having to care about others' gazes made her feel exceptionally comfortable.
The only thing that bothered her was the astonished expressions of passersby.
Su Qianmo, like a celestial maiden who had descended from the heavens, attracted attention everywhere she went.
Or rather, wherever she passed, she caused a stir and commotion.
Passersby were incredibly curious about the identity of Su Qianmo, this otherworldly beauty.
At the same time, they became curious about Gu Chenan beside Su Qianmo.
The pairing of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was indeed pleasing to the eye, but someone as stunningly beautiful as Su Qianmo surely couldn't be with Gu Chenan just for his looks, right?
So... what was the identity of this man beside the beauty?
A rich second-generation heir?
Amidst the speculative gazes of the crowd, Gu Chenan held Su Qianmo's hand as they walked towards the exit of the pedestrian street.
"How do you feel?" Gu Chenan turned his head and asked with a warm smile.
"It's been a long time since I've walked so freely on the streets. I'm very happy," Su Qianmo replied.
As she spoke, Su Qianmo looked back at the people on the pedestrian street and whispered, "It's just that these gazes make me a bit... afraid..."
Gu Chenan held Su Qianmo in his arms, patting his chest like a chivalrous big brother, "Don't worry, you won't be in any danger with me around."
Gu Chenan had brought back his ancient martial arts skills from the novel world.
In that world, he wasn't the strongest, but in the real world, no one could threaten him with his martial arts abilities.
Su Qianmo nestled her head against Gu Chenan's chest, her smile as radiant as flowers, "Alright, then I'll entrust my safety to you."
"Of course," Gu Chenan gently kissed Su Qianmo's forehead. "I'll never let you be kidnapped again."
"Is that so~" Su Qianmo mischievously wrapped her arms around Gu Chenan's neck and whispered in his ear, "But... I want you to kidnap me according to the novel's plot, and do everything that needs to be done."
Holy cow, bondage play?
Gu Chenan was shocked. Su Qianmo had read the original novel and come up with this idea?
To be fair, she understood kidnapping.
Gu Chenan grinned and suddenly slapped Su Qianmo's round, full bottom beneath her bodycon skirt, "Alright, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll graciously fulfill your wish."
"Tonight, I'll let you experience what didn't get to happen in the original plot!"
Su Qianmo's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she bit her lip lightly, nodding, "Mm~"
The passersby on the pedestrian street who witnessed this scene were stunned.
"Damn, that guy actually slapped the beautiful woman's bottom in public!"
"And the beauty didn't get angry at all, she's just blushing. What's going on?"
"Geez, he doesn't know how to cherish a delicate flower at all! If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I'd treat her with the utmost care. This guy is so rough!"
The crowd was indignant and worked up.
If it weren't for Su Qianmo showing no signs of anger, these people might have rushed over to educate Gu Chenan on how to treat a lady.
...
After leaving the pedestrian street, the couple hailed a taxi, planning to go look at some houses.
However, when the people on the pedestrian street saw Gu Chenan hailing a taxi, they were shocked once again.
"What the hell? Taking a taxi? Doesn't this guy have a car?"
"Apart from being handsome, what qualities does this guy have to deserve such a beautiful woman by his side?"
"This beauty could easily make it in the entertainment industry! With her looks and figure, she's definitely future A-list actress material!"
Amidst the crowd's confusion and bewilderment, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo got into the taxi and left the pedestrian street.
But the discussions among the street vendors in the pedestrian street didn't stop, and would continue for some time.
Half an hour later.
Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo arrived at the sales office of a villa district.
The sales office parking lot was filled with luxury cars, which was not surprising.
After all, this was the sales office for a villa district, and anyone who could afford to buy a house here was either rich or influential.
Gu Chenan glanced at the luxury cars in the parking lot, feeling a bit strange.
Perhaps he should buy a car too.
But in reality, it would be better to buy a low-key car. Being too ostentatious in the real world wasn't a good thing.
Pushing aside these thoughts, Gu Chenan looked at the salespeople wearing white shirts in the sales office.
In Gu Chenan's plan, he wanted to buy a villa with at least seven bedrooms.
Although there were only he and Su Qianmo now, the other female protagonists would be coming through soon, making a total of seven people including himself.
"Let's go in," Gu Chenan said, holding Su Qianmo's hand as they prepared to enter.
Su Qianmo pursed her lips and said softly, "I drank too much milk tea... I need to use the restroom."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
