Crackling sounds filled the air...
Shen Yuan pinned Chu Yang to the ground, pummeling him relentlessly.
"Hahaha!"
Chu Yang suddenly jumped up, roaring, "I've broken through!"
A violent surge of power welled up from within him, but he tightly reined it in, keeping it contained inside his body.
"Ding, very logical!"
"The villain bullies the protagonist. In a desperate struggle, the protagonist unleashes his latent potential and achieves a cultivation breakthrough!"
"Then he counterattacks and defeats the villain!"
The System watched with great interest, providing real-time commentary.
Shen Yuan: (＾＿－）
"System, deduct Villain Points for me. I want to level up!"
Shen Yuan said.
"Ding, okay!"
"Ding, congratulations, host, on advancing to Foundation Establishment Peak!"
The System said calmly, "Deduct 100,000 Villain Points to advance to Early Golden Core stage?"
"Uh, let's not do that for now!"
Shen Yuan stretched lazily. "Foundation Establishment Peak is enough for now! After all, with the 60-40 split, I only have a little over 200,000 Villain Points!"
"A person must always plan ahead, be far-sighted and strategize deeply!"
"Villain Points should be saved for when they're needed!"
"If I run into someone I can't beat, then we'll talk!"
Shen Yuan licked his lips. "At that moment, I'll say something like 'Deep Blue, add points!' and scare the teeth right out of their mouths!"
"Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Chu Yang stretched out his hand.
Shen Yuan directly exchanged for a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills and tossed it to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang opened the bottle and fell silent for a second.
As expected, another product of the System, guaranteed to be top quality!
Great, a perfect Foundation Establishment realm is now within reach!
He swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill in one gulp and began stabilizing his realm, continuously compressing and consolidating it, over and over...
The Qi Refining stage was perfected.
The Foundation Establishment stage must also be perfect!
Shen Yuan pointed at Xiao Ce and Lin Yu. "You two, come at me together!"
He lunged out first. "Fight back!"
Xiao Ce and Lin Yu: "..."
The two were beaten to a crackling pulp...
After a long while...
Shen Yuan leisurely stopped.
Xiao Ce and Lin Yu looked like they were about to kick the bucket.
"System, exchange for Intermediate Healing Pills!"
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand.
Primary Healing Pills: 10 Villain Points per bottle, five pills per bottle.
Intermediate Healing Pills: 1,000 Villain Points per bottle, five pills per bottle.
Can treat injuries below the Golden Core stage!
Checking the System Mall...
Advanced Healing Pills: 100,000 Villain Points per bottle, five pills per bottle!
Can treat injuries below the Unity stage.
Super Healing Pills: 10,000,000 Villain Points per bottle, five pills per bottle!
Can treat injuries below the Mystic Immortal stage.
Shen Yuan: "..."
A hundredfold increase each time!
Also, do these injuries even have a standard?
The range is too broad!
What about the intermediate realms?
Can they be purchased in tiers?
Can the Advanced ones be subdivided into... Early Advanced, Mid Advanced, Late Advanced, Peak Advanced!?
Above Super, there's the Supreme Healing Pill...
Can treat injuries of a Heavenly Emperor!
1,000,000,000 Villain Points per bottle, five pills per bottle.
Wait a minute...
The final healing pill, what's this?
Mythical Healing Pill...
Can treat any injury!
One bottle...
10 trillion per bottle? Three pills per bottle?
Shen Yuan fell into deep thought.
Why doesn't it follow the hundredfold increase at the end?
System, you're cheating!
Speaking of which, would I even need a Mythical Healing Pill?
Heh!
Can't afford it, just can't afford it!
As expected, I'm still quite poor these days.
If only the System allowed topping up with real money...
I'd directly charge the entire Shen family fortune into it.
Soon, the three men climbed to their feet, full of vigor and vitality!
Lin Yu's eyes shone brightly. "I, I'm about to break through!"
Xiao Ce: "..."
Damn!
I finally managed to get ahead of this idiot!
And now he's caught up just like that?
"Let's go, out for a meal!"
Shen Yuan stretched and sauntered out.
Chu Yang and the others exchanged glances and followed.
"Cezi, what's the current situation with that Ling Zhan Tian?"
"Oh right, there's also Liu Ru Yan!"
"If you three have nothing better to do tonight, go put a sack over her head and give her a good beating!"
"You can farm forty or fifty thousand Villain Points in one night!"
"Plus, she likes to sleep stark naked!"
"You can even get an eyeful while you're at it!"
Shen Yuan said with a sly smile.
Chu Yang and the other two: "..."
After the meal, the three decided to leave together!
Xiao Ce had his own matters to attend to!
Chu Yang planned to go to the school to see Chu Yi Yi.
Lin Yu also planned to go out and take care of some business. Since he was back, he decided to put down roots here. At the very least, he needed to start resolving the issue of relocating some of the Dragon King Hall's assets back here!
Shen Yuan...
Went out for a stroll!
As the four walked out of the villa gate, they saw...
Liu Ru Yan!
Shen Yuan: "Great Emperor Ruyan, are you just that persistent, haunting me like a ghost?"
"President Shen!"
Liu Ru Yan ran over, but stumbled on her feet, nearly falling.
Lin Yu, who didn't know her, instantly reached out and steadied her.
"Thank you!"
Liu Ru Yan said, staring at Lin Yu, her eyes practically sparkling.
Another handsome guy!
Lin Yu: "..."
What's with that look in your eyes?
"What's your name?"
Liu Ru Yan asked cautiously. "I'll thank you properly!"
"My name is Lin Yu. It was just a small gesture, no need for thanks." Lin Yu waved his hand.
"Get lost!"
Shen Yuan pointed at Liu Ru Yan, then looked at Xiao Ce. "How about we just kill her?"
Xiao Ce: "..."
"President Shen!"
Liu Ru Yan cried out. "My heart belongs to you!"
"My soul belongs to Brother Chu Yang!"
"And now, my spirit belongs to Brother Lin Yu!"
Liu Ru Yan declared. "I've only made a mistake that any woman would make..."
Thud!
Shen Yuan kicked Liu Ru Yan, sending her flying.
Chu Yang and the others: (￣∠￣)ﾉ
Is this Liu Ru Yan here every day just to be the comic relief?
"This person feels like an NPC who comes by daily just to check in!"
Shen Yuan quipped, "Let's go!"
The others hurriedly followed.
Liu Ru Yan, right?
Very well!
Interesting woman, we've got our eyes on you!
Tonight...
Sack time!
The group split into four paths...
And went their separate ways!
Time flew by...
Soon, it was Monday.
Civil Affairs Bureau.
Shen Yuan and Lin Yu got out of the car and saw someone waiting in front of the bureau... Tang Meng Yao?
Shen Yuan insisted on following Lin Yu!
Because...
The Dragon King breaking off an engagement—this kind of drama-filled process, he had to see it properly!
"Brother-in-law, no, Brother Lin Yu!"
Tang Meng Yao waved at Lin Yu. "Young Master Shen, you're here too."
"Where's your sister?"
Lin Yu asked.
"She's already inside!"
Tang Meng Yao smiled. "These past couple of days, sister hasn't been doing well. She's lost several pounds. Brother-in-law, don't you feel any pity at all?"
Lin Yu chuckled. "Not at all. I have a great appetite for everything!"
Tang Meng Yao: "..."
"Let's go in!"
Lin Yu said gently. "Meng Yao, if you ever need anything in the future, come find me!"
"If I can help you, I will do my utmost!"
Lin Yu was very gentle.
Tang Meng Yao was the only warmth he had experienced in the Tang family.
Three years!
In that icy-cold home, only she had shown him a little warmth.
She would secretly slip him some pocket money.
She would secretly slip him a chicken leg.
She would say a few words in his defense when he was being scolded.
"So, don't force yourself to endure hardship."
Lin Yu said gently, "If you don't want to stay with the Tang family anymore, then just move out."
Tang Mengyao's eyes welled up with tears. "Okay! I want to move out. That cold house... there's nothing left there worth holding onto."
Lin Yu looked at the lovely face so close to his, youthful and beautiful.
In a daze...
Lin Yu suddenly felt that this face...
was strangely familiar!

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?
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. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! 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."
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot?

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well!
