Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui had stopped their bickering, but both still had their arms crossed and wore haughty expressions, only looking in opposite directions.
Gu Chenan glanced left at Su Qianmo then right at Liu Mingrui, helpless. "Can we get along?"
[Geez, you two are really something, getting upset so quickly?]
[I know my charm is powerful, but there's no need for you two to be like this!]
[You're both prominent figures in Donghai, it would be embarrassing if people heard about this!]
After Gu Chenan's inner voice appeared, the two women exchanged a glance.
They both looked a little embarrassed.
He was right, just now was beneath us and didn't suit our status at all.
Even if we want to hear Gu's inner thoughts, there's no need to bicker childishly, is there?
Thinking this, Su Qianmo was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.
She giggled, the sweet, crisp sound ringing out. "We were just joking around!"
Seeing Su Qianmo speak up, Liu Mingrui quickly followed suit. "Yeah, yeah! I was just teasing Big Sister Qianmo!"
Although Liu Mingrui was still unhappy that Su Qianmo had claimed to be Gu Chenan's fiancée.
But Su Qianmo had given her an out, so she should take it.
Plus, Gu Chenan had never said he liked Su Qianmo, so Liu Mingrui was still very confident in her position.
From now on, may the best woman win!
Seeing the atmosphere relax between the two women, Gu Chenan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good then. I'll head back first, you two should go home soon too."
The two women exchanged a glance, then spoke in sync: "No way!"
"Huh?"
Gu Chenan's eyebrows furrowed as he asked angrily: "What exactly do you two want?"
The two women hooked their arms around Gu Chenan's simultaneously, saying in one voice: "It's rare we're all out, you're not getting away!"
[Hmph!]
[Weren't you two at each other's throats just now? How did you suddenly become like sisters?]
"What do you mean I want to get away? Are you saying I can't even go home now?" Gu Chenan said indignantly.
"Noo~"
Liu Mingrui shook Gu Chenan's arm. "Chen'an, my dad's friend owns a private pool. Why don't we go swimming?"
Swimming?!
Gu Chenan's eyebrows furrowed. He realized things weren't so simple.
Which of their families - the Gus, Sus, or Lius - didn't have a private pool?
Why would Liu Mingrui suggest swimming elsewhere?
Gu Chenan tilted his head doubtfully to glance at Liu Mingrui, but his gaze was instinctively drawn lower by her extremely well-developed figure.
Ah!
Gu Chenan suddenly understood.
So you little schemer wanted to make Su Qianmo quit with your curves, huh?
Seeing that Gu Chenan hadn't responded for a while, Liu Mingrui asked Su Qianmo: "Sister Qianmo, want to come?"
Su Qianmo didn't even think before nodding. "Let's go, of course!"
Want to swim alone with Gu?
Dream on!
If Su Qianmo had declined, things would be different. But since she had agreed, Gu Chenan had to go by his gentlemanly principles.
"Alright."
Gu Chenan sighed and nodded. "If Qianmo wants to go, fine, let's go."
...
Ye Household, Manor Grounds
Lin Yu, who had passed out, slowly opened his eyes.
No one was before him, not a sound could be heard.
Just the empty arena and faint voices drifting from the garden.
"What exactly...happened?"
Lin Yu's mind was blank, still unclear about what had happened and how he ended up lying on the ground.
He only remembered throwing a full-powered punch at Gu Chenan, then nothing.
But at that moment, a piercing pain erupted in his chest.
Pfft~!
The next second, he spat out a spray of blood.
"Gah!"
Lin Yu clutched his chest and struggled to his feet.
Looking left and right, still no one else around.
Where was Mingrui? Master?
Hadn't she come to cheer for me? Even if I lost inexplicably, she shouldn't have disappeared!
Forget Mingrui being gone, but what about Master?
Did she leave in anger, thinking I'd humiliated her?
No, that shouldn't be!
Just then, a Ye servant approached briskly.
"Hello Sir, the match has ended, please leave now."
"Wait!"
After catching his breath, Lin Yu asked: "Where do I collect the $50 million prize?"
Hearing this, the servant looked confused.
"Sir, you weren't the champion, what $50 million?"
"Young Master Ye said that as long as I defeated Lu Renjia, I would be...cough cough...champion!" Lin Yu frowned, perplexed.
"Heh..."
The servant chuckled lightly. "Did you forget what you said before fighting Young Master Gu?"
"You said that if Young Master Gu won, he would be champion."
Stunned, Lin Yu felt the world spinning.
At the time, he had just been boasting.
Who knew Gu Chenan would actually beat him?
That $50 million...that was $50 million!
To Lin Yu, even $3 million was an astronomical figure, let alone $50 million!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu was filled with regret.
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth.
Gu Chenan! It's you again!
Why must you ruin things for me every time?
That $50 million should have been mine!
Although furious, Lin Yu could only accept this reality since he had uttered those arrogant words himself.
"Please leave quickly, Sir, we need to clean up." The servant urged before turning to depart.
"Wait!"
Lin Yu stretched out a hand to stop him, then asked: "Where's Mingrui? Where did she go?"
Mingrui?!
The servant looked shocked.
You dare to call Miss Liu by her given name?
"You mean Miss Liu?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Mingrui came today to cheer for me. Where is she now?"
Hearing this, the servant curled his lip disdainfully.
"Young Master Gu and Miss Liu already left. Please, no more questions. I'm busy."
As he turned away, contempt flashed across his face.
Said Miss Liu came to cheer for you?
You must be dreaming!
Everyone knows she only came because of Young Master Gu.
Cheer for you? Who do you think you are?
I really don't understand the nonsense coming out of his mouth. Does he have brain damage?
Staring at the servant's departing back, Lin Yu clenched his fists again.
Gu Chenan!
Where did you take Mingrui?
She came to support me, what right did you have to bring her away?
Just you wait, I will pay you back a hundredfold for today's humiliation!
After making about two hundred mental vows on how he would kill Gu Chenan in the future, Lin Yu hobbled out of the Ye house with one hand clutching his chest.

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.”
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
