"What do you mean?"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "I am a dignified Immortal Emperor, is my drawing not clear enough?"
"Um... sorry, my brain can't comprehend the artwork of a high-dimensional Immortal Emperor!"
Shen Yuan's face darkened with imaginary black lines. "Now, you explain it to me, and I'll memorize it!"
"Fine!"
Chu Yang looked at his own drawing and then nodded.
The two of them started talking animatedly.
Shen Yuan committed everything to memory.
"When are we going home?"
Chu Yang asked, "Tomorrow is our birthday!"
"This shared birthday of ours is just..."
Chu Yang was really out of ideas. "How about we just go with our previous birthdays?"
Shen Yuan raised his middle finger. "Wouldn't that make me younger than you?"
Chu Yang shrugged. "I've lived in another world for tens of thousands of years, of course you're younger than me!"
"You're my younger brother!" Shen Yuan chuckled. "We're talking about our ages in the real world."
"Whatever!"
Chu Yang didn't get angry either. "Suit yourself!"
"Let's go, time to head home!" Shen Yuan was beaming.
"Alright, I'll drink the Marrow Cleansing Dew as soon as we get back!" Chu Yang's expression turned serious. "You should drink it too, it grants the Perfect Realm!"
"No need!"
Shen Yuan didn't even turn his head. "What the system gives is already the Perfect Realm."
Chu Yang: "..."
Sitting up in shock on my dying bed, the clown was me all along?
"System, add points?"
Chu Yang's face darkened. "The cultivation base given by the system is more solid than bitter training, isn't it?"
"At least you understand!"
Shen Yuan laughed heartily.
Chu Yang felt helpless.
The two went to the underground parking garage...
Preparing to return to the villa.
They still had things to do tonight.
Chu Yang needed to cultivate.
Shen Yuan was going to deal with Liu Ruyan.
"Maybe the Matchmaker went offline and love is now managed by the God of Wealth..."
Just as they reached the car, a phone rang.
Shen Yuan took out his phone, and a name flashed on the screen.
[Lu Xiao (A Bit Silly)]
This was also a rich second-generation heir, two years younger than him. He was graduating from college this year and was quite good at business.
He was a friend of the original owner. His family's assets weren't much, just a mere 200 billion or so.
"Little Lu?"
Shen Yuan answered the call. "What's up?"
"Brother Shen, look up, I'm right in front of you!"
Lu Xiao's voice came through.
Shen Yuan looked up in astonishment.
A handsome young man was waving at them.
Shen Yuan widened his eyes, looked Lu Xiao up and down, and fell deep into thought.
Lu Xiao jogged over.
Shen Yuan's face twitched. "Did your Lu family go bankrupt?"
Everything Lu Xiao was wearing added up to no more than two hundred bucks.
"Brother Shen!"
Lu Xiao chuckled and grabbed Shen Yuan's arm. "Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to coffee."
Crackle, pop...
Shen Yuan shivered; he actually got shocked.
The ancients wore silks and satins, while modern people wear polyester that sparks!
Domineering CEOs rip open female leads' clothes easily, but polyester shocks you numb.
But it wasn't even the middle of winter!
Where did this static electricity come from!?
"Hey, well, I got a girlfriend."
Lu Xiao started explaining, "So it's like this, and like that!"
"Ding, a Normal-tier Child of Destiny has been discovered!" The system's voice chimed in.
Shen Yuan: "..."
He looked Lu Xiao up and down and fell deep into thought.
This buddy he had known since childhood... was a freaking Child of Destiny too?
Why the hell am I the only villain?
Hiding his identity to date a girl from a poor family?
"System, what the hell is going on here!"
"Can you let me know what the original plot line for this Child of Destiny is?"
"I'm so freaking confused!"
Shen Yuan was truly exasperated.
He finally understood what the system meant before...
What it meant by the density of Children of Destiny severely exceeding the limit...
This was way too freaking severe, wasn't it?
"Ding, yes you can!"
The system spoke up. "There's a massive discount promotion going on..."
"The Eye of Destiny is on a huge sale, don't miss out as you pass by!"
"For three hundred villain points, you can't buy a cultivation base, you can't buy divine artifacts."
"For three hundred villain points, you can't be cheated, you can't be fooled!"
The system hollered, "Do you wish to purchase?"
With a thought, Shen Yuan looked at the system shop.
Eye of Destiny: Can see through parts of the original plot of a Child of Destiny.
Original Price: 300 million.
Promotional Price: 300!
Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. This discount was basically a bone-breaking slash, right?
System, you just made up this price tag, didn't you?
"Purchase!"
Shen Yuan chose to buy it.
Instantly, he felt his eyes become sore and itchy, but the next moment, his vision and hearing became crystal clear.
What did it feel like?
It was a feeling... as if his eyes were naturally meant to see it.
Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at Lu Xiao.
Hiding his identity, dating his girlfriend, testing her...
As a result, his girlfriend found out.
Coincidentally, his girlfriend's mother fell ill and needed surgery. She was overwhelmed and desperately had to beg him... exposing his identity.
Yet he said: As expected, you only love my money.
Why make up so many excuses?
In the end, his girlfriend's mother died... and only then did he realize his girlfriend genuinely just wanted to save her mom.
The girlfriend left...
He was in pain, filled with regret and guilt, and went to chase his love back.
And then came... the wife-chasing crematorium trope?
Finally, he abandoned his status in the Lu family, and only then did he reconcile with his girlfriend.
The two of them just got a happy ending like that?
Shen Yuan covered his face.
What kind of artificial, fake-human plot is this!
Girl, have you never seen a man before?
Why must you end up with him in the end?
Also... why make him abandon his Lu family identity?
Woman, don't you freaking know how to enjoy having money?
Shen Yuan sighed and turned to look at Chu Yang.
Then let me see the original plot of the reborn Immortal Emperor...
His eyes stung, and he closed them.
"Ding, please note, host, there is an instruction manual below the item!"
The system said calmly.
Shen Yuan: "????"
He looked back at the system shop and noticed a line of text smaller than ants.
Usage Instructions: Limited to viewing Children of Destiny at the Excellent tier and below.
Shen Yuan: "..."
Who the hell would notice such tiny text!
"Hey, Brother Shen?"
Lu Xiao waved his hand in front of Shen Yuan's eyes. "What's wrong?"
Chu Yang silently leaned against the side of the car, lowering his presence.
People nowadays all have something wrong with their heads, right?
Hide your identity my ass!
"What do you want from me?"
Shen Yuan hesitated for a second before asking.
That one second of hesitation was because...
He didn't seem to have a stick ready in the car.
He wanted to beat him up.
"It's just that, I don't know what to do now."
Lu Xiao said, "Let's talk about it while we get coffee."
"Talk my ass, tomorrow is my birthday banquet, I have to hurry back and prepare!" Shen Yuan quickly made a gesture to stop him from coming closer.
Back up, back up, back up!
Back the hell up!
"That works too!"
Lu Xiao shook his head. "Even though Wen Xun is ranked first in school, her family is too poor."
"I didn't ask about her grades!" Shen Yuan was exasperated.
Lu Xiao just kept talking to himself.
"A dead dad, a sick mom, and a broken her!"
"I was truly moved by her strong and optimistic attitude..."
"I want to confess my identity, but I'm afraid her pride is too strong..."
Lu Xiao said, "I don't know what to do right now! Brother Shen, could you give me some advice?"
Shen Yuan shot him a sideways glance, gritting his teeth.
"My advice is..."
"Get your ass over there right this second... and confess to her!"

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.

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."
