In the kitchen of the supermarket.
The silver-haired little loli, wearing a kitchen apron adorned with cute pink and purple polka dots, was busy at work.
She held a paper towel in her hand, absorbing the blood from a fresh steak.
Then she picked up the seasonings nearby, sprinkling salt, black pepper, and olive oil to marinate the meat.
At the kitchen door, Shen Yiyue was peeking in with half her body visible, her eyes sparkling as she watched Ning Yu in the kitchen.
Her gaze was like that of someone watching their domineering CEO boyfriend personally cooking for them.
Having just finished training and showered, she had changed out of her black tight-fitting workout clothes.
She was now wearing the light blue school uniform she had on when she first met Ning Yu.
The uniform top, probably from her first year of high school, could barely contain her fully developed figure, accentuating her perfect curves.
Beneath the pleated school skirt were snow-white, straight, and rounded thighs without a trace of excess fat.
She looked at the spotlessly clean kitchen countertop that Ning Yu had tidied up.
Various condiment bottles were neatly arranged in two rows, like two meticulously lined-up rows of soldiers.
This made Shen Yiyue seriously suspect that Ning Yu had some sort of compulsive cleanliness disorder.
Ning Yu was mixing butter and minced garlic.
She had wanted to add mint leaves, but the fresh food store only had common vegetables and no herbs, so she had to skip that.
Suddenly, she caught a whiff of a familiar girlish fragrance, mixed with the floral scent of shower gel.
Then a pair of jade-like hands tightly embraced the slender waist of the little loli.
A pair of round, full breasts pressed firmly against her back.
It turned out that Shen Yiyue, for some inexplicable reason, had hugged Ning Yu from behind.
She even buried her head in the silver-haired loli's collarbone, pressing close.
"Little Yu, when you grow up, marry big sister!"
"Big sister is completely defenseless against such a silver-haired cutie who can cook!!!"
Ning Yu's face immediately darkened with exasperation. She really wanted to kick this idiot away.
It was just cooking a steak, what on earth was this girl saying?
How had Shen Yiyue become so familiar with her in just a few days?
Was her portrayal of a little sister too convincing?
But her snow-white delicate hands were busy mixing the butter, so she could only let Shen Yiyue hug her.
Then she reluctantly said:
"Let go, or I won't make your portion, and you can just watch me eat."
"Eh?! How can you do that..."
Shen Yiyue immediately let out a loud protest, showing a pitiful expression.
But for the sake of delicious food, she obediently released the silver-haired loli and could only continue to watch from beside her.
Ning Yu ignored her, turned around to add a little oil to the pan, and began to sear the steak.
Immediately, a "sizzling" sound filled the kitchen.
The Maillard reaction produced by heating the steak released an enticing meaty aroma that quickly filled the entire small supermarket.
Beside her, Shen Yiyue was already drooling, sniffing the meaty aroma in the air with her cute little nose like a puppy.
Her starry eyes were fixed on the steak in the pan as it was being flipped and then spread with garlic butter.
It was already the final step, and Ning Yu was using a spoon to continuously baste the melted butter over the steak.
She glanced at Shen Yiyue beside her and said:
"Don't just stand there like an idiot, help me get the cutlery."
"Yay!! Yes, commander!"
......
Outside the small supermarket, the sun had completely set, and night had enveloped the neighborhood.
A few wandering zombies were staggering aimlessly nearby.
Suddenly, a zombie in the corner of an alley was struck as if by lightning, its head violently hit by a fire axe, falling to the ground.
Two figures emerged from the darkness, their gaze firmly locked on the small supermarket not far ahead.
One of them, a short and thin man, pointed ahead and said in a sneaky voice:
"Boss, look ahead, that's it. I've scouted it before, it's very well-secured, there must be a lot of good stuff inside!"
The other man, wearing a baseball cap, spoke in a low, hoarse voice:
"Hmm, what about those locks behind the door, how do you plan to deal with them?"
The thin man let out a few "hehe" laughs:
"I'll go get a hydraulic cutter, it'll have no problem cutting through those iron chains!"
His eyes revealed a vicious and ruthless gaze.
The man in the baseball cap asked again:
"How many people are in there? Are they tough?"
The thin man immediately replied:
"Not sure, but the supermarket was originally run by a couple, they definitely don't have much fighting power. Boss, don't worry!"
Suddenly, he seemed to smell something, lifting his hawk-like nose to sniff.
He revealed an envious yet resentful look:
"Damn! Seems like they're frying meat in there, smells like beef, it's so freaking fragrant."
As the thin man spoke, he licked his lips, feeling his mouth water.
Since the apocalypse, he had been eating instant noodles and steamed buns every day, his taste buds nearly numbed.
"They're living quite the comfortable life in there."
The people in this supermarket even had the leisure to cook and grill meat, which in comparison to his own situation, made him incredibly jealous.
The man in the baseball cap also smelled the aroma of beef.
He felt his stomach growling, having not eaten meat for many days, how could he resist such temptation?
"This is the place. Let's go back and prepare, we'll take over this place sooner or later."
The man in the baseball cap quickly said, trying to cover the sound of his stomach.
Upon hearing this, the thin man revealed a determined expression and said:
"Alright! It's about time we got to enjoy this comfortable life!"
......
In the small living room of the supermarket.
Shen Yiyue was devouring the pan-seared steak with great gusto, her adorable cheeks stuffed full.
She didn't even notice that a strand of her hair had gotten into her mouth.
The milky aroma of butter mixed with the scent of garlic, combined with the perfectly seared beef fragrance, filled the entire small living room with a delicious smell.
Taking a bite of the cut steak, it was juicy and had an excellent texture, the meat melting in her mouth.
She felt as if the most exquisite taste in the world was sliding down her throat and into her stomach.
Shen Yiyue tilted her head back with a blissful smile, her full mouth letting out an "Mmm~" sound, expressing extreme satisfaction.
The silver-haired loli glanced at this glutton and softly said:
"I'm telling you, you're holding the knife and fork in the wrong hands."
Shen Yiyue turned her head, looking at Ning Yu with a confused expression, her mouth full as she mumbled:
"Huh? Does... does that matter?"
In her heart, she thought, as long as it's delicious, that's all that matters. Steak is the best, little lolis who can cook are the best!
Ning Yu showed an expression of "this girl is hopeless" as she elegantly cut her steak.
The meat pieces on her plate were neatly arranged, with decorative vegetables on the side.
She would lightly prick a small piece of meat each time, placing it in her cherry-like small mouth to savor slowly.
Shen Yiyue, seeing the little loli's elegant way of eating and comparing it to her own Zhang Fei-style eating, immediately became a bit more restrained.
Oh right, how did she expose her true nature so quickly...
Just as she was about to clear the remaining vegetables on her plate, Shen Yiyue suddenly remembered a question.
She poked a broccoli floret, dipped it in the meat juice on the plate, and asked:
"By the way, Little Yu...."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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 bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
