"Phew~"
By the window, Li Luo, wearing a coat over her qipao, took a sip of hot tea and exhaled a puff of warm air.
Finally, it felt a bit warmer.
Next to her, Ye Wangchuan, dressed only in an undershirt, was eating cultivation pills.
Three cultivation pills, like hawthorn balls, were swiftly devoured by Ye Wangchuan in three bites.
Then, expressionless, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Ugh...
No matter how many times I eat these cultivation pills, they still taste so bitter...
Ye Wangchuan thought to himself, then turned to Li Luo and said,
"I've finished the three cultivation pills. Now give me back my clothes."
"What? Didn't you sell the clothes to me directly?"
Li Luo, who had just warmed up, turned around in surprise.
Ye Wangchuan: "I only said three cultivation pills, not that I was selling you the clothes."
Li Luo: "Ye Wangchuan, your mom—"
"Your mom must be a celestial beauty, otherwise how could she have given birth to such a handsome son?"

"..."
Ye Wangchuan was stunned for a moment before saying,
"Are you trying to flatter me?"
"Ahaha, yes."
Li Luo said with a stiff smile.
"Flattery won't work. Oh well, just a piece of clothing, I'll give it to you."
Ye Wangchuan clapped his hands and called over a servant.
After a few words, a moment later, the servant brought a new set of clothes for Ye Wangchuan to put on.
Seeing this, Li Luo's expression froze.
"So you could just call a servant to get you clothes! Give me back my cultivation pills!!"
"Hmm? I was wondering why you were so insistent on my clothes."
Ye Wangchuan chuckled.
He just loved seeing this little loli chosen one lose her cool and go crazy.
...
...
In the old folks' area.
Several old men peeked out, secretly observing Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo.
Seeing Li Luo talking non-stop while Ye Wangchuan just smiled and listened.
One of the old men clicked his tongue and said,
"Old Li, you know what, I think these two really have potential!"
"That's right, look at Li Luo's coat, isn't it a bit too big? That's because it's Ye Wangchuan's coat!"
"Ha! Old Li, you've really struck gold this year! If this pair gets together, you'll surpass Old Liu for sure!"
The old men chattered among themselves.
Just then, all the old men suddenly felt a shiver down their spines, sensing a familiar yet dangerous aura.
They turned to see Ye Zhentian and Old Man Liu approaching with a smile.
"What are you looking at? Let me see too."
Ye Zhentian said cheerfully, following their gaze.
When he saw his son chatting and laughing with a little loli, he was momentarily stunned.
?
Ye Zhentian furrowed his brows and turned to the other old men, asking,
"What's going on?"
"Ahaha, Ye Ge, it's like this..."
The old men explained nervously.
After all, they were secretly gossiping about someone's son.
They had long heard that Ye Zhentian was extremely protective of his son.
If he got angry...
After the explanation,
"Oh, Old Ye, you know what, I think it's pretty good!"
Old Man Liu nudged Ye Zhentian with his elbow and said with a smile.
Unlike the other old men's nervousness, Old Man Liu looked quite relaxed.
"First, let's look at their talents. Your son is at the 99th rank, and Li Luo is at the 97th rank. Both are geniuses in terms of talent."
"Next, their looks. Your son is tall and handsome, almost perfect. And Li Luo, with her delicate features and healthy figure, is great except for being a bit short."
"Lastly, their backgrounds. Well... at least the Li family isn't too bad in my eyes."
Despite Old Man Liu's explanation, Ye Zhentian's frown didn't ease.
After a while, he shook his head and said,
"No, my son said he would only be with a strong partner."
"A girl like this, who's just starting out, would take ages to reach the ninth level."
"My son would never like such a young girl."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ye Zhentian said more and more confidently.
Old Man Liu asked curiously, "But what if your son really likes that girl?"
Ye Zhentian waved his hand confidently, "He wouldn't! My son only cares about benefits. I know his personality well!"
"Unless, that girl has some kind of divine artifact that can continuously provide Ye Wangchuan with treasures!"
"Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason!"
Hearing this, the surrounding old men nodded in agreement.
Ye Wangchuan's personality was indeed like that.
But Old Man Li's expression wasn't so good.
He turned to look at Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo.
Seeing Li Luo wearing Ye Wangchuan's clothes and the two of them drinking tea together.
He just couldn't believe it.
If these two didn't like each other, why would they get so close?!
Could they both be getting treasures from each other or something?
No matter what, he still had to try to match them up.
If it worked, they'd be set for life!
...
...
"Ye Wangchuan, you... um... your fingers are quite nice, long and slender."

After a series of over-the-top compliments from Li Luo, she had successfully accumulated 200 emotional points.
But...
It was just too hard to compliment someone without repeating yourself and still provoke an emotional reaction.
Because the more you compliment, the more the other person gets used to it.
But scolding was different. A single "pervert" could be repeated several times to rack up emotional points.
Even if it got to the point where Ye Wangchuan was immune to being called a pervert, you could still switch up the taunts, like calling him a "small fry~".
But the downside of quickly racking up emotional points was that it was easy to go too far with the insults and get severely punished.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan's mind was full of questions.
What is this chosen one up to?
Why is she complimenting me?
And her compliments are so lame...
Just as Ye Wangchuan was pondering,
Bang!
A loud crash came from the entrance as an old man burst through the door.
Behind the old man was a young man.
Ye Wangchuan glanced indifferently.
Hmm... don't recognize them, must be from some small family.
But the next moment, Ye Wangchuan understood the identities of the old man and the young man.
A servant walked up to them and said,
"Are you from the Tang family? I'm very sorry, but the Tang family and their pets are not allowed at this banquet. Please leave."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.
"Which family is the Tang family again?"
"The one with the 3rd rank talent."
"Ohhh, that one! Hahaha—*cough* I just remembered something funny."
Hearing the continuous laughter around them,
Old Tang's face turned red with anger.
He immediately grabbed the servant by the collar and shouted,
"What do you mean by this, Ye family? You invited every family in Chang'an City, why didn't you invite my Tang family?!"
"That's right! How dare a mere servant speak to my father like that? You're asking for it! You're already on the path to death!"
Next to Old Tang, the young man Tang San also stepped forward to speak.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
