But!
Now I'm here!
Gu Yan looked at the demon claws in his hand and softly said: "Mimic."
In the next second.
As if understanding Gu Yan's intention, the three demon claws rumbled!
They instantly merged together and wrapped around Gu Yan's finger, transforming into a black ring.
Of course.
Crack! Squelch!
The inside of the ring was lined with blood-sucking spikes, firmly attaching to Gu Yan's finger.
Well, demon claws need nutrition too!
After completing this, Gu Yan glanced at the dazed Tian Fang. This person was an important tool for Chen Yingyin to quickly enter the Martial Arts Department, so he still had some use.
He turned to Old Gao, who was quite bewildered by what he had just witnessed: "Let's go, Old Gao. I'll explain everything in the car."
"Oh... okay..."
Old Gao nodded, watching Gu Yan's retreating figure.
His expression was complex.
He really understood the young master less and less. Was this current version of the young master another manifestation of split personality?
No, no, no, regardless...
Old Gao took a light breath and followed behind Gu Yan.
Looking at his back, Old Gao couldn't help but recall their first meeting.
[Hey, old man, are you the bodyguard dad found for me? You look so weak!]
.....
[Old man, are you okay? Oh, I know! Dad told me about your wife's situation. Here, take this - it's all my pocket money, use it.]
...
[Old Gao, aren't I your family too? If you keep being so depressed, this young master might have to find a new bodyguard!]
Young master truly is a gentle person.
Old Gao smiled slightly, watching Gu Yan's back. No matter what...
I will always protect you, young master.
Now only Tian Fang remained in the dungeon.
"My... my claws..."
They were his best companions since childhood, but now...
They had been taken by someone else.
"No!!"
Tian Fang was so angry that he fainted.
.......
.......
Back in the car.
Old Gao was shocked. Although he had sensed it earlier, when he actually heard it from the young master's own mouth.
He was still amazed: "Young master, you've reached Innate realm?"
Heavens, this defied logic.
Since the young master's birth, the Gu family had determined this child had no talent for martial arts.
Rather than letting him experience the disappointment of the martial arts world, they decided not to tell him and let him live peacefully as an ordinary person.
At that time, everyone determined he could at best become a third-rate martial artist.
But now, he had reached Innate realm overnight? What exactly had happened??
"Yes, I'm quite puzzled too. Suddenly reached Innate realm."
Gu Yan pretended to think, then responded with a shocked expression: "Could it be! This is the power of love!"
What nonsense about the power of love!
Old Gao took a deep breath. Though he couldn't understand the young master's talk about the power of love.
But... it was good that the young master could cultivate now, at least his personal safety would be better guaranteed.
With this in mind, he asked: "Then... young master, where are we going next?"
Where to go....
Gu Yan thought for a moment, quickly reviewing the thoughts in his mind.
First was Shen Wan'er. After observing at the banquet, he noticed her interactions with Xiao Lin had increased, similar to the original story, but this side needed too much time, so he could only wait.
Next was Wang Yulan, she was still hospitalized, and the plot hadn't reached her part yet, so no need to worry about her for now.
Then Chen Yingyin, she knew about the Martial Arts Department and should be joining soon. He would help boost her performance later, so no need to worry for now.
Then Yan Qingqing, this masochistic woman was the easiest to deal with, but he couldn't always take the initiative with her, so no need to worry for now.
Finally, the Bai family's young miss and Leng Ling'er's best friend, Bai Qionglan. She still had half of the Dragon King Jade Pendant that he needed, but... it wasn't time yet. He still needed to wait for a plot point, so no need to worry about that either.
Calculating this way, Gu Yan realized he had already encountered five women from Xiao Lin's harem in the original story.
And these five currently had no feelings for Xiao Lin.
Very good, this was the right development. As long as these harem members didn't provide Xiao Lin with too much help, then later on, he and Qingqiu would be safer.
No wait! Just how many women were in Xiao Lin's harem?! This guy must have incredibly high resistance to pure love!
While complaining internally, Gu Yan pondered. He had actually considered whether to become brothers with Xiao Lin, who had just come down from the mountain.
But... for some reason, whenever this thought occurred, he felt extremely disgusted.
He didn't know why at first, but after Mei Xue's appearance last night, he seemed to understand some things, and realized why he detested Xiao Lin.
In the original story, the author never explicitly stated which forces were involved in the massacre of the Leng Family years ago.
But now..... Gu Yan's eyes flickered with a cold light.
Combining the original story and Leng Qingqiu's current actions, it wasn't hard to reach a conclusion.
That is, every force that Leng Qingqiu controlled was actually... one of the forces involved in the Leng Family massacre.
Why control the King of Hell Palace? Because they participated in the massacre.
Why target the protagonist? Because the Dragon King Palace also participated in the massacre, and Xiao Lin killed Leng Ling'er in the original story.
Why target those harem members who hadn't met protagonist Xiao Lin yet? Because their family forces had also participated in the siege of the Leng Family.
Everything Leng Qingqiu did actually revolved around one point.
That is..... revenge.
For revenge, she could abandon all her humanity; for revenge, she could sacrifice everything.
Understanding all this, Gu Yan took a deep breath.
Since everyone was Qingqiu's enemy, then... he should also firmly walk this path he had chosen.
Moreover..... after discovering that the Pure Love Cultivation Technique could provide him with such power.
Gu Yan's thoughts had changed. It no longer mattered whether Leng Qingqiu would turn dark like in the original story.
It no longer mattered whether Leng Qingqiu would become stronger, this was fine.
Gu Yan didn't want Leng Qingqiu to become that cold-blooded, heartless person from the original story again.
Qingqiu must be suffering, because his intervention had made it difficult for her to judge things normally.
Just like this time with the King of Hell Palace.
But it doesn't matter anymore.......
Gu Yan closed his eyes to relieve some pressure, then said: "Let's go to grandmother's."
"Yes, young master."
As the car started moving, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze held unprecedented determination and coldness.
In this life, Leng Qingqiu's enemies would be my enemies too.
Hum! Gu Yan clutched half of the jade pendant in his palm.
Let me make use of you..... Dragon King Palace.
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.”

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.
