In the surveillance room of Jianghai Hospital.
Tao Ying's eyes were dark as she watched Xiao Lin, who was guarding Wang Yulan's mother, on the screen.
Originally, they had planned everything to the minute, intending to kill Wang Lan when Wang Yulan returned, framing it as the work of a demonic martial artist.
But now, seeing Xiao Lin on the screen, Tao Ying felt an overwhelming sense of irritation.
The aura emanating from this man was clearly on a different level from their side. He was like her grandmother, someone whose depth she couldn't fathom.
Clearly, this man named Xiao Lin was a grandmaster!
"Why do all these strong individuals gather around Wang Yulan?"
"Should I say it's no wonder she's the chosen one? She always attracts so many talents..."
Tao Ying's eyes were filled with jealousy. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yulan possessed the Qi of the Flower Goddess, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get her to join the Peach Blossom Society.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
A few people standing by, waiting for orders, asked in low voices.
Originally, they should have been hidden in the ward, but...
When they discovered that Xiao Lin was a grandmaster, they had no choice but to retreat to the surveillance room.
Using such surveillance methods from the mundane world was a huge humiliation for them as martial artists.
"Tch... Could it be that this operation can only be postponed...?"
"......"
"No! Wait a minute!!"
As Tao Ying spoke, suddenly, her expression changed.
On the screen, an uninvited guest had appeared in Wang Yulan's mother's ward!!
......
.......
On Xiao Lin's side, he had been dutifully guarding Wang Yulan's mother, thinking it was a good opportunity to regain her favor.
He had to perform well.
But suddenly!
"Hehehe~ When did the heir of the Dragon King Palace become a mere watchdog?"
A familiar dark aura accompanied the abrupt voice.
Xiao Lin's expression changed drastically as he abruptly looked towards the corner: "Who's there?!"
Swish!
A stream of black Qi swept past and gathered in the corner in an instant.
In just a moment, a figure dressed in strange black clothes and wearing a full-faced, eerie mask appeared.
This person was surrounded by black Qi! It was Mei Xue!!
It was past 9 PM, which was already her territory.
This was also the reason Gu Yan had called her over. The task was simple.
Click!
Mei Xue opened her hand, revealing half of a dragon-shaped jade pendant!
That was!
"The Dragon King Jade!! It's you!!"
Seeing this, memories from the past surged into Xiao Lin's mind, and he instantly lost his reason.
Boom! A powerful golden dragon aura erupted from his body. With a leap, he charged directly towards Mei Xue: "Return the Dragon King Jade to me!!"
He had been desperately searching for the Dragon King Jade, but it and those mysterious people had seemingly vanished into thin air. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find them.
But unexpectedly, they had reappeared before his eyes. No matter what, he had to take it back!!
"Hehe, if you can take it, then try."
Mei Xue sneered, and as her voice fell,
Bang bang bang!!!
The lights went out, and the power in the top floor private ward was completely cut off!!
The area once again plunged into darkness.
Mei Xue, following Gu Yan's script, melted into the darkness.
Boom!
Xiao Lin's punch hit empty air, and his eyes turned crimson. Feeling the other's aura, Xiao Lin instinctively wanted to chase after her.
But.....
He suddenly stopped, looking at Wang Yulan's mother, Wang Lan.
He hesitated.
But after half a second, he shook his head.
It's fine. Wang Lan is just an ordinary person. This masked figure is clearly here for him, so leaving is actually protecting Wang Lan's mother!
With this thought, Xiao Lin quickened his pace and rushed towards the trail of Mei Xue's deliberately left aura.
On the Peach Blossom Society's side, Tao Ying watched the suddenly blacked-out screen, her expression fluctuating.
It was too strange, how could this happen?
Who was that mysterious person?
Why did they suddenly target Xiao Lin?
And why did they only cut the power to the private ward floor? It was as if they had done it on purpose. After all, that floor only had Wang Yulan's mother...
And finally, they heard...
Dragon King Palace? Dragon King Jade?!
How did this involve these things?
Xiao Lin's identity was actually the heir of the Dragon King Palace? Did they still need to get involved in this matter?
But.....
Tao Ying was unwilling. The possessor of the Qi of the Flower Goddess was right in front of them. Whether the Peach Blossom Society could rise to glory again depended on this!
So!
Tao Ying's eyes gradually hardened. The world situation was turbulent.
According to her grandmother, [Night] had reappeared, and it would surely bring crisis to the world.
Although the Peach Blossom Society wasn't a righteous sect, [Night] didn't care whether you were good or bad.
Those beings indiscriminately harmed the world. To survive in this wave, the Peach Blossom Society had to regain its former strength!
She had already decided. The appearance of this mysterious masked person could just be used as a scapegoat.
Her original plan was to time it so that the Peach Blossom Society would kill Wang Yulan's mother in front of her, making her believe her mother was killed by a demonic martial artist.
But now, with the appearance of the masked person and Xiao Lin, Tao Ying clearly didn't have the time to wait for Wang Yulan's arrival.
However, since Xiao Lin had a close relationship with Wang Yulan and a mysterious masked person had just appeared,
Then...
Tao Ying felt that she only needed to kill Wang Yulan's mother now.
Then, let Xiao Lin explain the situation, and Wang Yulan would likely believe that her mother was probably killed by an accomplice of the mysterious masked person.
This would indirectly make Wang Yulan hate the demonic martial artist who killed her mother.
At that time, she would step in and recruit Wang Yulan into the Peach Blossom Society.
It was perfect.
Hehehe, I really have to thank you, masked person.
With that, Tao Ying ordered, "Continue with the plan!"
"Yes!"
.......
......
On Wang Yulan's side, she was walking back to the inpatient department with a serene smile.
As she walked, she was also reminiscing about what she would do after her mother woke up: "Hmm~ When the time comes, I must take mom on a trip, making up for all the things she hasn't seen in so long."
"Hmph, I'll definitely have to tell mom about Gu Yan's help. I'm sure mom will be very touched by how much her student has done for her."
"Ah, I can't think about it anymore. I need to hurry back. It's a bit awkward to keep Xiao Lin waiting there..."
Suddenly, Wang Yulan stopped.
She looked up at the top floor of the inpatient department, which was without light, and a sense of unease welled up inside her.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the top floor of the inpatient department out of power?"
Wang Yulan felt a growing unease. Her mother was staying there.
She quickly walked over and asked the nurse at the front desk, but the nurse hadn't received any notice of the inpatient department losing power.
"How about this, Miss Wang, I'll accompany you to the private floor to take a look."
The nurse, being warm-hearted and knowing about Wang Yulan's close relationship with the Gu family's young master, volunteered.
"Yes, thank you."
Wang Yulan nodded anxiously, the sense of unease growing stronger.
Mom... please don't have anything happen...
No, no, no...
It should be fine, it's probably just a power outage. Besides, Xiao Lin is still there. He said he would protect mom.
Wang Yulan prayed in her heart, hoping it was just a simple power outage.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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.
