After a brief understanding, Xie Yuyan's initial wariness gradually dissipated as Ye Feng removed his mask.
"How is it? Is my cooking passable?"
Watching Xie Yuyan finish the last bite of noodles, Ye Feng stood up to take the dishes and prepare to clean up.
"It's... not bad."
Ye Feng had expected another cold look from Xie Yuyan, but to his surprise, she actually complimented his cooking.
"Oh?"
Ye Feng hadn't anticipated that Xie Yuyan would respond to him.
"What, now you know I'm not a bad person?"
"I'm sorry... I... I am grateful to you, but I will still monitor your every move!"
Xie Yuyan paused mid-sentence, then continued with the rest of her words.
What is wrong with me? Why would I instinctively want to apologize for my previous rude behavior? It's so strange!
Xie Yuyan shook her head, trying to rid herself of these emotions that were affecting her judgment.
What is wrong with this guy? Why do I feel an inexplicable urge to get closer to him? What is going on?
"Ye Feng, what exactly are you?"
"That's none of your concern. We don't need to have any further interaction. You can leave once you're healed."
"......"
If this were before, Xie Yuyan would have been overjoyed. But after spending just a short time with Ye Feng, hearing him say this personally made her heart feel chaotic, and it felt like her chest was blocked, making it hard to breathe.
What is wrong with me? Why do I have such strange feelings?
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agreeing. First, this is my house, so you'll have to make do with sleeping on the sofa. No complaints, right?"
"It doesn't matter where I sleep."
"Not bad, quite aware of your situation. If you need anything, you can call me. I have other things to do now."
After washing the dishes, Ye Feng dried his wet hands and glanced at Xie Yuyan, whose clothes were torn. Xie Yuyan was also giving him a strange look.
"I don't have any women's clothes, so tell me what style you like, and I'll get you some when I have time."
"Do you treat everyone like this?"
"Like what?"
"So... charitable?"
"No, no, I'm not some saint. I'm just following my own heart."
"So saving me was voluntary?"
"Actually, it was forced."
"Tch..."
Xie Yuyan rolled her eyes on the sofa. She didn't expect Ye Feng to be as stubborn as her.
Saving someone is saving someone. Why say you were forced? Wouldn't you die if you didn't save me? Who would believe that...
"Remember, don't get your wound wet. You can apply the medicine yourself; I've left it on the table."
After everything was prepared, Ye Feng headed back to his bedroom to check his task rewards. He had been holding off for almost a whole night.
"Thank you."
"Oh, now you know how to say thank you."
Seeing Ye Feng give her an incredulous look, Xie Yuyan didn't bother to argue with him. She pulled the blanket over herself and curled up on the sofa.
Although the blanket was thin, Xie Yuyan still felt warm. The surroundings became quiet as Ye Feng disappeared, and usually, the quieter it was, the more cautious Xie Yuyan would be. But now, she suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.
"Strange... no... I can't sleep! How can I sleep in such an unfamiliar environment..."
"Zzz... Zzz..."
......
"Raise points... What skill should I upgrade with this?"
Lying in bed, Ye Feng was intently staring at the system interface. After receiving the reward, besides a new firearm skill, there was also the so-called raise points.
After the system's explanation, Ye Feng understood that raise points could upgrade his skills by one level, such as from intermediate to advanced, which is the top level.
"Hmm... this seems quite useful. It's the first time I've seen such a thing."
Looking at his current skills, Ye Feng didn't rush to choose which one to upgrade but decided to save the raise points for now.
"Who knows how easy it is to get these points. It's better to save them for now and see how things go. Maybe they'll come in handy one day."
After exiting the system interface, Ye Feng suddenly noticed that his original three tasks had increased by one. Upon closer inspection, it read: Get closer to Xie Yuyan to learn more information (details in the compendium progress).
"Huh? Xie Yuyan is in the compendium?"
Ye Feng quickly opened the compendium and found that one of the pages, which had previously been gibberish, had now turned into Xie Yuyan's information panel.
[Name: Xie Yuyan]
[Identity: Top Assassin of the Dark Palace]
[Age: 20]
[Progress: 9%]
......
This compendium seems to be collecting information about all the people I've abducted, but what's the point? What extra reward will there be when the progress reaches 100%?
After thinking for a long time, Ye Feng couldn't figure it out. He briefly browsed through it and then decided to go to sleep. Now that there was a new task, he needed to get some rewards from Xie Yuyan to make up for it. Seeing her identity, Ye Feng felt a bit worried.
Dark Palace assassin organization? Hopefully, it doesn't involve me; I don't want to live every day with the threat of being assassinated by countless assassins.

"Lao Li, you've had a lot of business lately."
At another gathering, Su Wanli approached Li Jing and greeted him.
“How is it? Is your daughter, Mu Cheng, feeling better?”
"She's much better. Luckily, nothing serious happened."
Li Jing swirled the wine in his glass, seemingly lost in thought.
"Was it you who deliberately told Yuxin?"
"Yes, they have the best relationship."
"That explains it. No wonder my usually obedient daughter was so unusually rebellious today. Luckily, someone followed her and told me she went to the hospital; otherwise, I would have been scared out of my wits."
Su Wanli took the wine handed to him by the waiter and drank it in one gulp.
“By the way, Lao Li, do you remember the day Mu Cheng was kidnapped?”
"Any leads?"
"No, they're not the same group. We've tried everything, but we haven't gotten any useful information."
"It seems this kidnapper is declaring war on me."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
“Think about it. After capturing Mu Cheng, that person didn't immediately demand anything. They just held her and dealt with some troublemakers in the process. It's clear they have another motive.”
The shrewd Li Jing didn't realize that he was completely out of the loop this time. He was still using various methods to search for the kidnapper's whereabouts.
Well, luckily, that kid was there, so we can relax a bit about Mu Cheng.
"Who?"
Su Wanli suddenly caught a keyword and repeated it, focusing on the "kid" mentioned by Li Jing.
"Who is that kid?"
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.

Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
