Soon, the competition officially began.
Gu Chenan, Liu Mingrui, and others sat in the guest seats.
Without a doubt, Gu Chenan sat in the center seat of the guest seats, while Liu Mingrui sat beside him.
Gu Chenan was very unwilling to be arranged like this. He didn't want to sit together with Liu Mingrui, especially in front of Lin Yu.
But there was no choice. He couldn't possibly let Ye Jinyuan arrange for Liu Mingrui to sit at the last seat, right?
Even if he spoke up, Ye Jinyuan wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
He even volunteered to sit at the last seat and give the center seat to Liu Mingrui, but Ye Jinyuan was unwilling. He even said to Gu Chenan, "The respect of the Ye family towards the Gu family is like the continuous flow of a mighty river..."
Helpless, Gu Chenan had no choice but to sit reluctantly with Liu Mingrui.
After taking their seats, Liu Mingrui slyly smiled and secretly looked at Gu Chenan.
Seeing that Gu Chenan didn't react at all, she quietly took off her high heels and wrapped her white silky legs around Gu Chenan's calf.
Feeling the warmth and touch of her legs against his, Gu Chenan trembled as if struck by electricity.
He lowered his head and glanced at the lace-trimmed stockings on Liu Mingrui's knee and her pinkish-white feet, swallowing saliva.
"What are you doing?" Gu Chenan turned his head and whispered.
[F**k, sister, don't do this!]
[Dragon King Lin Yu is among the crowd. Are you trying to kill me?!]
Liu Mingrui completely ignored Gu Chenan's inner voice. Although she had made great efforts to change herself, deep down she was still the domineering and arrogant Liu Mingrui.
"Little Gu, don't you know what I'm doing?" Liu Mingrui asked with a smile.
Tsk!
Gu Chenan gritted his teeth and whispered, "Take your stinky feet away from me!"
[F**k, are all these female leads cut from the same cloth? Why do they all try to seduce me with their stockings and beautiful feet?]
[Although I really like black and white stockings, my heart is as hard as iron!]
[Don't expect me to submit to your beauty. Don't be foolish, woman, it's impossible!]
On the stage, Ye Wenfei served as the host, holding a script and explaining the rules to the contestants.
In the guest seats, Liu Mingrui had a mischievous look on her face.
"My feet don't stink, you know. Do you want to take a sniff?" Liu Mingrui pretended to put her feet in front of Gu Chenan.
His fists clenched tightly. His molars were about to shatter.
This was too outrageous.
In the original plot, Liu Mingrui had nothing to do with the ancient martial arts competition of the Ye family.
But now she had actually come to the Ye family and even turned into a clip, shamelessly seducing him!
If it were Su Qianmo seducing him with her beautiful feet, that would be one thing. It happened at the Mingyue Night Restaurant, and no one knew about it.
But Liu Mingrui was doing this openly and even in front of Lin Yu!
"Liu Mingrui, you've gone too far!" Gu Chenan gritted his teeth.
"Oh, are you shy?" Liu Mingrui whispered.
"Go to hell! I'm not shy. I'm a person who has seen storms and tempests. These mere stockings mean nothing to me!" Gu Chenan sneered.
...
Among the crowd.
Lin Yu watched as Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui's faces filled with anger.
From the moment Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui appeared, his gaze remained fixed on them.
In his perspective, Gu Chenan started whispering to Liu Mingrui not long after taking his seat.
And he did so with an uncontrollable expression of anger!
Although Liu Mingrui didn't show any signs of anger, she maintained a forced smile throughout.
Hmm, in Lin Yu's eyes, Liu Mingrui's smile seemed forced all along.
So he believed that Gu Chenan was angry because Liu Mingrui came here today to support him.
"Gu Chenan!"
Lin Yu muttered angrily under his breath, "Do you really think that just because there is some connection between the Liu family and your Gu family, you can control Mingrui? Dream on!"
"What does it have to do with you that Mingrui came for me?!"
Tang Yunjin, who was standing behind Lin Yu, also noticed the whispered conversation between Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui in the guest seat.
Lin Yu had previously informed Tang Yunjin that the young lady from the Liu family had a favorable impression of him, but Gu Chenan was trying to sabotage their relationship.
Tang Yunjin had her doubts about this. She knew that Lin Yu had saved Liu Mingrui, but it didn't mean that Liu Mingrui would be completely devoted to him, right?
Moreover, didn't Liu Mingrui give Lin Yu a three million yuan gratitude gift?
Combined with her previous inquiry about the Black Mamba's reaction from Lin Yu, Tang Yunjin, with her curious and somewhat proud personality, couldn't help but want to understand everything.
After Ye Wenfei finished announcing the rules, he stepped down from the stage, and the competition officially began.
However, Gu Chenan didn't have any knowledge about ancient martial arts. He was just here to join in the excitement.
His full attention was focused on how to prevent Liu Mingrui from causing a scene.
"Ah, Gu Sha, if you continue to ignore me, I'll take action," Liu Mingrui's slightly complaining voice reached Gu Chenan's ears.
"Ah..." Gu Chenan sighed and turned to look at Liu Mingrui, "Sister, what exactly do you want?"
He saw Liu Mingrui resting her head on the table, smiling at him with a hand propping her cheek.
This made Gu Chenan involuntarily glance at the object on the table.
[Wow, I know it's big, but do you really have to put it on the table? It's about to burst out!]
[You're wearing an evening gown, you know? Could you be a bit more mindful?]
[Look at you, half the table is filled with it!]
Huh?
Liu Mingrui frowned.
What's on the table?!
She looked down and immediately blushed, quickly sitting upright.
You bastard, Gu Chenan!
Liu Mingrui calmed herself down, her white silk-clad feet still entwined around Gu Chenan's leg.
"Gu Sha, don't be like this, I'll be sad~"
Gu Chenan: "#$%"
Damn it, if I could beat you up, I would definitely give you a slap!
Please, stop squeezing!
That voice is giving me goosebumps!
"What did you come here for today?" Gu Chenan asked angrily.
At this moment, Liu Mingrui slowly leaned toward Gu Chenan, and her snow-white face was now close to his arm.
"I missed you and wanted to see you."
Gu Chenan was greatly alarmed and looked towards Lin Yu in the crowd.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Yu was getting ready to go on stage and didn't witness this scene, which relieved Gu Chenan's burden.
If Lin Yu had seen it, it would have been a big problem!
No, things can't continue like this.
Just because I didn't see it this time doesn't mean I won't see it next time. If Liu Mingrui keeps acting like this, I'm truly doomed!
With this in mind, Gu Chenan stood up and grabbed Liu Mingrui's arm, saying, "Come with me, I need to talk to you about something."
In the midst of the crowd, Lin Yu, who was preparing to go on stage, noticed this scene in the guest seat.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his body trembled.
Gu Chenan! You're asking for trouble!
You actually pulled Mingrui away from her seat when I'm about to go on stage!
Do you really think that keeping Mingrui from seeing my performance will stop her from cheering for me?
Simply foolish!
Just you wait, whichever hand you used to pull Mingrui today, I will chop it off and feed it to the dogs in the future!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
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 fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. 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.”
