Time passed slowly.
When Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu came downstairs, both Su Murong and Gu Tianming were stunned.
"What? What's going on?"
"So, Gu Yan, you're all better now?"
"Old Gao is still lying in the Gu Family's ward!"
"Is this the power of love?"
Su Murong, her eyes shining, grabbed Gu Tianming's arm and exclaimed in shock.
Gu Tianming was also dumbfounded.
Wait a minute.
Leaving aside the strange notion of the power of love, isn't this an era that values martial arts and science?
Wasn't it confirmed that my son had eight broken ribs and couldn't take care of himself?
Wasn't it said that his energy was completely depleted and it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover?
Didn't they say he was psychologically devastated and needed extra care?
So... why are the bandages off now?
On Gu Yan's side, he knew this seemed very odd. After all, not long ago, he was a mummy. So, he felt the need to explain!
Thus, holding Leng Qingqiu's hand, Gu Yan earnestly explained to the bewildered Gu Tianming and Su Murong, "Well... it's the power of love between Qingqiu and me!"
What kind of explanation is that?!
Leng Qingqiu covered her face, feeling a wave of helplessness.
Finally, after she smoothed things over, Su Murong and Gu Tianming understood the situation.
It turned out their son had been pretending to be injured to hide his true strength!
Everything before had been an act!
At such a young age, he already knew how to conceal his abilities!
Gu Tianming declared that his son Gu Yan had the potential to be a grandmaster!
After learning that Gu Yan was perfectly fine, Su Murong's mood improved significantly.
She beamed at the hand-holding couple, nudged Gu Tianming, and gently said to Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu, "Gu Yan, why don't you take Qingqiu to the living room and sit for a while."
"Yan Qingqing had some business to attend to and has already left."
"I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Yan Qingqing left, which wasn't a problem.
But...
Qingqiu?
Gu Yan was momentarily stunned, about to say something when he heard his dear wife Leng Qingqiu respond warmly, "Thank you, Mom."
?!
She's calling her "Mom" already?
Gu Yan was dumbfounded. He thought this would be difficult for Leng Qingqiu! After all, she was the major antagonist in the original story!
Having her own sense of pride was only natural!
But who knew... Mom, you have such power?
Su Murong, upon hearing this, was overjoyed. She pushed Gu Tianming toward the kitchen, chuckling, "Ohohoho! You two lovebirds have a good chat! We'll be going now!"
.......
.......
In the living room.
"Hmph!"
Leng Ling'er, sitting on the sofa munching on chips, glanced at Gu Yan and snorted coldly.
She had long guessed that this scoundrel was definitely pretending to be sick.
Gu Yan, holding Leng Qingqiu's hand, sat on the sofa.
Unable to resist, he immediately started teasing, "Qingqiu? Qingqiu, what's wrong? Qingqiu, we lovebirds should have a good chat, Qingqiu... Wait, Qingqiu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Leng Qingqiu's increasingly embarrassed and annoyed expression, Gu Yan quickly stopped his antics.
His fists clenched.
Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath, suppressing her shame.
This damn man, always saying things to provoke me!
Leng Ling'er, unable to hold back her urge to complain, slowly moved closer to Leng Qingqiu.
She hugged Leng Qingqiu's arm and wailed, "Sis! Gu Yan is too much! He pretended to be sick just to trick you into coming over!"
"You have to teach him a lesson!"
After saying this, Leng Ling'er shot Gu Yan a mischievous grin.
Hehe, trash Gu, since you're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless!
You didn't fulfill your promise to me, so I'm going to cause trouble! Because I'm angry!!
Gu Yan twitched his lips, looking at Leng Ling'er with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Fine, fine, you little brat, you want to mess with me? But! You forgot one thing!
And that is...
Leng Qingqiu shook her head, defending Gu Yan, "Ling'er, stop messing around. Gu Yan has his reasons."
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you..."
Ling'er is still young and doesn't understand the dangers of the martial world.
Hiding one's strength is indeed the right thing to do.
Of course, she wouldn't involve Ling'er in the conflicts of the martial world, letting her remain a happy little girl forever.
However, these casual words struck a heavy blow to Leng Ling'er's heart.
!!
Stop... stop messing around?
Sis, you've changed!
Leng Ling'er felt as if an arrow had pierced her chest, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Gu Yan.
I was just thinking about how to increase your affection for each other! And now you're siding with him like this?
It hasn't been long! You're already speaking up for Gu Yan? Is your affection level almost maxed out?!
Is there still a place for me, Leng Ling'er, in this family?
Damn it! Even though this was my goal! But! This goal didn't include my status plummeting!
So unfair!!
Leng Ling'er, like a defeated puppy, slumped on the sofa, sighing, "Sis, what is it? Can't you and brother-in-law decide for yourselves?"
"Well, this matter still requires your opinion."
!!
Leng Ling'er instantly perked up. Sis still considers me!
She quickly asked, "Okay, okay, what is it?"
Seeing Leng Ling'er so eager, Leng Qingqiu thought for a moment before saying, "It's about tonight. I'm staying here. I wanted to ask if you want your brother-in-law to take you back, or if you want to stay here as well."
"Of course, if you're scared, you can sleep with me."
As soon as she finished speaking.
!!!
Boom!!
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck Leng Ling'er's brain. She looked back and forth between Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu in disbelief.
"Sis?! You two are already at this stage?!"
!!!!!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"What stage?!"
"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Leng Qingqiu, after a brief moment of shock, immediately snapped back to reality and scolded in embarrassment. She had been wondering what Leng Ling'er would say.
But what kind of talk is this? What has poisoned Ling'er's mind?
Seeing this, Gu Yan also chimed in, "Exactly, Ling'er, don't jump to conclusions!"
He said seriously, "Your sister and I are just in a normal pre-marital relationship! It's not what you're thinking!"
?!
"Shut up!"
"What pre-marital relationship! We're not at that stage yet!"
Leng Qingqiu realized that this damn man Gu Yan loved to make things more complicated.
"Qingqiu~ You're being too distant..."
Gu Yan protested, leaning closer to Leng Qingqiu.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing Gu Yan about to get handsy again, Leng Qingqiu quickly stopped him. She didn't want to do anything inappropriate in front of Ling'er.
So she took a light breath and asked Leng Ling'er, "Ling'er, what do you think?"
What do I think... What can I think...
Leng Ling'er sniffled, her teary eyes looking at the smug Gu Yan.
Hehe! Since you're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless!
"I'll stay!"
"But! I want to sleep with you, sis!"
Leng Ling'er hugged Leng Qingqiu, glaring fiercely at Gu Yan.
Until you make me a big influencer, I'll remain angry!
Tch... this little brat...
Gu Yan gritted his teeth, his fists clenching.
Without this little brat's help, it seems many things can't proceed.
Do I really have to give in to her?
Leng Ling'er thought the same.
Hehehe! Stupid brother-in-law, without my help, don't even think about getting closer to sis!
Without me, who's going to be your wingman?
After a while of stalemate.
Gu Yan gave up first. He turned on the TV and said pitifully, "Fine! Ling'er, you can sleep with your sister tonight."
"I'll just sleep alone... Ah, all by myself."
Leng Qingqiu immediately recognized that this scoundrel was playing the victim again.
However... does he really want to sleep with her that badly?
The moment Leng Qingqiu thought of that pixelated scene, her heart raced, and her cheeks flushed.
No, no!
Her mother always said such things should only happen after marriage!
Even as boyfriend and girlfriend or engaged partners, they should only share a bed after getting married, right?
Exactly!
Leng Qingqiu gradually calmed herself down. As a master of pure love, she would never allow such excessive behavior before marriage!
And just then,
the TV began broadcasting last night's news.
+ Slow Paced + Main Character Thrives Together with His Disciples】 Transmigrated into a cultivation world, Chu Xingchen awakens a discipleship system that reveals the tags of his disciples!

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.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
