Two hours later.
Gao Liyuan finally finished listening to Yang Jingying's brief explanation.
It was absolutely ridiculous!
It was like the ridiculous family opening the door for ridiculousness.
Good heavens!
She wondered how Lin Fan had coincidentally found her to help with his tasks.
Turns out, everything had been arranged all along!
If it hadn't been for that incident with the volcanic mud skincare product that screwed Lin Fan over,
she wouldn't have deleted him from her contacts.
After all, she had already cut ties with her family.
Out in the world,
if you don't hustle for money,
you'll starve.
If nothing unexpected happens,
the main problem lies with Xu Mo.
In this lifetime, she could hear Xu Mo's inner thoughts!
It was like a domino effect.
One move triggers a chain reaction!
The most crucial part was that there were actually seven or eight female leads!
And that's just the known ones.
Who knows how many more there were like her, unknown to the world.
In her heart, Gao Liyuan cursed the dog author who created this world to hell and back.
One or two would have been enough.
Why so many?
Wasn't this just adding unnecessary difficulty for her?
Starting off with nightmare difficulty.
How was she supposed to play this game?
Gao Liyuan's mouth hung wide open.
When in doubt, take a sip of soda to calm the nerves.
Yang Jingying, on the other hand, took a sip of tea and then calmly said, "I've told you everything you wanted to know. In exchange, do me a favor."
"What favor?" Gao Liyuan asked curiously.
Yang Jingying: "I want you to hack into Zhou Qiaoqiao's electronic devices and see where she's investing her funds."
Gao Liyuan smiled shyly, somewhat embarrassed.
"That... that doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"
Yang Jingying's face darkened. "You hacked into my computer and phone without my consent! Besides, I'm not asking you to do anything shady."
Huh?
Do you have some misunderstanding about what "shady" means?
This is shady by definition.
Gao Liyuan: I suspect you're blatantly lying, and I have proof.
"Ahem... I apologize for what happened before."
After a pause, Gao Liyuan said firmly, "I'm a woman of principle!"
"I'll pay you!"
Yang Jingying laid her cards on the table.
Money talks!
Where does a hacker's income come from?
From taking on jobs.
Gao Liyuan had just said it herself.
She's a law-abiding woman.
So she doesn't earn dirty money.
But dealing with a female antagonist?
Is that really dirty money?
This is called forming a united front.
With that said,
she handed over the money.
Yang Jingying immediately regretted it.
Gao Liyuan's hacking skills were so impressive.
Even if she didn't have jobs every day,
one big job would be enough to sustain an ordinary person for a long time.
Even if she spent lavishly,
she'd still have savings.
Ah... money isn't everything.
The next moment,
Yang Jingying felt she had overestimated Gao Liyuan.
"How much?"
Gao Liyuan's tone did a complete 180.
Her lips curled into a sincere, trustworthy smile.
Sssssss!
Yang Jingying sucked in a sharp breath.
Heh... I didn't expect you to be this kind of woman.
And you call yourself a female lead?
Alright then.
Looks like she's not much of a competitor.
Gao Liyuan was stunned. Had her true nature been exposed?
Heh... spit...
That was just a reflex, it doesn't count.
"Ahem... Miss Yang, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Gao Liyuan laughed it off.
"I do take it seriously! Very seriously!"
Yang Jingying's eyelid twitched.
Gao Liyuan said with a straight face, "Occupational hazard, occupational hazard."
No matter what Yang Jingying said after that,
Gao Liyuan remained unmoved.
Yang Jingying rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.
She muttered to herself in frustration,
"Even now, I still can't figure out Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme. Xu Mo is in danger."
Hmm?
Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme?
Related to Xu Mo?
This instantly piqued Gao Liyuan's interest.
"What's Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme? Is it about Xu Mo?"
"Ah... right, I forgot to tell you."
Yang Jingying slapped her forehead. It's all been too hectic lately.
She hadn't been prioritizing properly.
What was the purpose of these vixens getting close to Xu Mo?
It was despicable!
They wanted to ruin Xu Mo's health.
What's more important, Xu Mo or money?
Of course, both Xu Mo and money are important.
By controlling Xu Mo,
you indirectly control the wealth code!
Yang Jingying wasn't short on money.
But that didn't mean the other female leads weren't!
Then,
Yang Jingying gave Gao Liyuan a rough overview of the current situation.
The common enemy,
and who the other female leads were.
If you want the horse to run,
you have to feed it.
Thank heavens.
Luckily, Gao Liyuan came to her first.
She had gained a useful ally.
For her, it was a very profitable deal.
Once Xu Mo was secured,
he could be discarded.
Everything was paving the way for the future.
Gao Liyuan understood.
"Wow! Zhou Qiaoqiao is dominating the scene!"
"No wonder the other female leads are teaming up."
"Not only does she have a marriage with Xu Mo, but she also has some big secret."
Involving Xu Mo,
this was something she couldn't ignore.
Since she was already helping,
the money...
Gao Liyuan hesitated for a moment, then said sheepishly,
"Sister, do you have any money? I'm a bit short lately."
"But don't misunderstand, sister. It's just that when I see money, my efficiency doubles!"
"Once the matter is resolved, I'll return the money in full!"
Gao Liyuan was a year and a half younger than Yang Jingying.
And she was also a latecomer.
The female leads' power was unevenly distributed.
Aside from Zhou Qiaoqiao,
only Yang Jingying's faction was worth considering.
A big tree provides good shade.
Calling Yang Jingying "sister"
wasn't a bad deal.
Yang Jingying: ..........
Old habits die hard.
Yang Jingying tearfully accepted this "phoenix chick." "Later, add me on WeChat and send me your bank account number. I'll transfer 100 million to you!"
These days,
Yang Group's stock had multiplied several times over!
She had made a lot of money.
In a little while,
they would break into the global market!
Unstoppable!
The skincare products recognized worldwide—this cake was too big!
So 100 million,
for Yang Jingying at this moment, was nothing!
Mainly because Gao Liyuan was worth it!
She could silently hack into her computer and phone.
Wasn't that skill enough?
Her electronic devices were professionally protected.
Even so, they were like paper walls.
Not to mention ordinary people with no protection at all.
For Gao Liyuan, hacking into their devices was child's play.
"Sister, what do you take me for?"
"Actually, you don't need to give that much. Just a few million as motivation would be fine."
"And after it's done, I'll return it all anyway."
"You're transferring too much, it's making me a bit embarrassed."
Yang Jingying nodded. "Will it cause you trouble? Like the bank investigating? But don't worry, with my status, they won't investigate you."
Gao Liyuan shook her head like a rattle drum, voicing her concerns.
"That's not what I meant, sister. I'm not afraid of being investigated! It's just that this amount is too much..."
Yang Jingying: "If I say I'll give it to you, then I'll give it to you. Don't feel embarrassed. Just get the job done! After it's finished, meet me tonight. I'll introduce you to the other female leads."
Gao Liyuan's body trembled. Had she found her tribe?
"I promise to complete the mission assigned by the organization!"
After holding it in for a long time, Yang Jingying's face turned green as she finally blurted out,
"......Do you have chuunibyou or something?"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
