Today, Shen Qingsheng and the others were also discharged from the hospital. Su Ze had made an appointment with them to meet at the high-speed rail station heading to the city where Huaxia University is located, Jingdu, tomorrow.
It was another crisp autumn night. The dazzling stars illuminated the black sky, and the Milky Way burned like wildfire across the heavens.
Now, Su Ze's newly rebuilt arm could move almost normally.
"Didn't you promise to be obedient?" Su Ze said, feeling quite annoyed as he sat on the sofa. He had been glaring at the stubborn Uesugi Akizuki for several minutes. "From now on, you can wash yourself!"
Uesugi Akizuki pursed her lips and vigorously shook her head, her crimson hair swaying, clearly unhappy.
Ever since she was found by Su Ze, there had been an incident when he let her bathe herself, so every day since then, Su Ze had to enter the bathroom when the little silly girl bathed.
Of course, Su Ze would only prepare the water for her, letting the girl splash around on her own while he turned his back to play with his phone, occasionally chanting the Diamond Sutra and reciting the Huaxia Criminal Law and the Protection of Minors Law.
But today, Su Ze didn't want to do this anymore. He knew what kind of person Uesugi Akizuki was, and her letter—strictly speaking, it should be considered a threatening letter.
If she found out that Su Ze was bathing her daughter, Uesugi Akizuki would fly here from thousands of miles away at the fastest speed possible. At that time, Su Ze's head would definitely be in danger.
Uesugi Akizuki was very stubborn. Just a few days apart, and Su Ze wouldn't bathe her anymore when he returned. This clearly meant he wasn't as good to her as before!
She was trying to use her persistence to change Su Ze's twisted idea.
And Su Ze was also using his persistence to change Uesugi Akizuki's twisted idea.
To make amends and save his own life.
After staring at each other dryly for more than ten minutes, neither side showed any signs of yielding.
The little silly girl blinked her dry eyes, and Su Ze sighed, "How about we each take a step back? I'll stay outside the bathroom, and you can wash inside. Is that okay?"
The little silly girl was about to shake her head when Su Ze glared, "If you don't listen, I'll sell you!"
The little silly girl immediately stood up and ran into the bathroom to bathe on her own.
Su Ze was momentarily stunned. If he had known that a single sentence could make her listen, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
But soon, the little silly girl poked her head and upper body out of the bathroom, looking around the outside of the bathroom door, then locking her gaze on Su Ze, who was lying on the sofa playing with his phone.
Su Ze, feeling something, looked over. In an instant, a radiant light shone! A snowy-white figure entered his vision, and Su Ze only felt his nose grow warm, quickly turning his head.
He closed his eyes and recited the Diamond Sutra dozens of times.
Wasn't there anyone to teach her what shame was? Even if she had lost her memory, couldn't she behave like this?
Seeing that Su Ze wouldn't even look at her, the little silly girl became a bit dissatisfied.
She stepped on the tiles with her bare feet, pattering over to Su Ze, pulling the tightly-closed-eyed Su Ze to the bathroom door, and even considerately brought a chair for him to sit on outside the door.
Then she went back into the bathroom, lay in the bathtub with the water Su Ze had prepared for her, and started splashing around, washing herself.
From time to time, she glanced at the dark, reassuring back outside the door.
Feeling at ease, she buried her head in the water and bubbled happily.
Su Ze found the "Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch" to read. Influenced by the little silly girl, Su Ze had started to develop an interest in sutras.
Not reading it, he wouldn't have known that the thoughts depicted in the sutras were so magnificent! The realm of thought was so profound.
The second... day.
Su Ze pushed away the fiery Uesugi Akizuki and sat up in bed.
The weather had been getting hotter recently. Outside the window, the brilliant sunshine penetrated the azure blue curtains, illuminating the room with a serene, ocean-like blue.
The little silly girl liked to hold his hand while sleeping. By midnight, her entire body would lean over, and when Su Ze woke up in the morning, he only felt as hot as if he were in a furnace.
Su Ze didn't like to turn on the air conditioner; natural wind allowed him to always be aware of nature.
Even without the air conditioner, the little silly girl didn't feel hot at all; she just liked to sleep clinging to Su Ze.
She sat up with drowsy amber eyes, her crimson hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, without any curls, as if freshly washed, smooth and glossy.
Su Ze couldn't figure it out. Using the same shampoo, why was her hair so smooth? His own silver hair was messy, even standing up with a cowlick.
Su Ze suddenly realized that despite Uesugi Akizuki being silly, she was a genuine member of the Ghost Clan!
After tidying up his appearance, having breakfast, Su Ze set off. His luggage was placed in an empty spot in the front yard, and soon, professionals engaged in drone delivery arrived, using drones to take the luggage away.
Drone delivery was fast; it would arrive in Jingdu before they did.
Su Ze led the little silly girl into a taxi, and they arrived at the high-speed rail station in just a few minutes.
Shen Qingsheng, wearing a duckbill cap, was sitting on a park bench in front of the subway station, eating an ice cream and wiping sweat.
Meng Xingyao was wearing a coat, which made her look tall and slender, with slightly curled hair draped over her shoulders. This cool and beautiful "queen" stood under the shade of a tree, gazing at the insects on the treetop, lost in thought.
"Sister-in-law!" Shen Qingsheng stood up abruptly upon seeing Uesugi Akizuki, surprised.
"It's more appropriate to call her 'mom,'" Su Ze chuckled.
"Get lost, you jerk!" Shen Qingsheng growled, then asked, "Isn't she sent back? Why is she still with you?"
"I took a task to help the Rakshasa raise their little princess for a while," Su Ze said half-truthfully.
There were some things Shen Qingsheng knew not to ask. He chose to stay silent, not only to avoid trouble for himself but also to not make things difficult for Su Ze.
Shen Qingsheng opened his backpack, and a chill spread out. Inside were ice cream bars. "The train is at nine, and there are still a few dozen minutes left. Let's eat some ice cream first."
The little silly girl was slightly surprised, her mouth slightly open. Su Ze noticed a thumb-sized ice stone in his backpack and said, "Using an ice stone with a backpack as a portable fridge. What an idea."
"Make the most of what you have," Shen Qingsheng replied.
The little silly girl glanced at Su Ze, and after he nodded, she happily dug out an ice cream to eat.
"Sister Xingyao, come and eat some ice cream," Su Ze called out.
"I don't want any," Meng Xingyao replied, turning her head. Su Ze noticed her slightly furrowed brow and immediately understood.
No wonder Shen Qingsheng dared not act foolishly around Meng Xingyao.
Women, after all, have their days, and even extraordinary beings are no exception.
The little silly girl scooped up some ice cream with a wooden spoon, tasting the instantly melting sweet coldness, and she happily jumped up and down. Her crimson hair and red-and-white miko outfit swayed as she scooped up a large spoonful and offered it to Su Ze.
Su Ze lowered his head and ate it.
The little silly girl continued to eat the ice cream with the same wooden spoon that both of them had used.
An indirect... kiss!
Seeing the two of them acting as if nothing had happened, Shen Qingsheng was shocked. All his life, the only time he had ever held hands with a girl other than his mother was during a game led by the kindergarten teacher.
Shen Qingsheng felt a bit envious and said slowly, "Three to ten years in prison. You should weigh whether you're worthy of it or not."
Su Ze shamelessly raised his thumb and said, "Even the death penalty wouldn't be a loss!"
There was still some time left, so Su Ze took the little silly girl to the supermarket to buy some brown sugar, ginger, thermos cups, and so on. They went to a restaurant and paid a little money to borrow the kitchen.
After boarding the high-speed rail, Su Ze handed the warm ginger brown sugar water to Meng Xingyao, who was hugging her arms and looking out the window.
Meng Xingyao was slightly surprised and took it. Seeing the ginger brown sugar water inside, she felt her irritated mood calm down a bit. It wasn't that the brown sugar water had any magic, but Su Ze's actions touched her. "Thanks."
"You're welcome," Su Ze replied, returning to his seat.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

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?! ...

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.
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
