Jiang Yuan was a cautious man.
After Jiang Che's warning, that very night he ordered his trusted subordinates in the company to conduct a secret investigation.
As the chairman of the company, his surveillance network extended throughout the entire group.
Soon, they uncovered some clues.
"Li Changyu? What does this woman want?"
Li Changyu was the company's second-largest shareholder and had been there since the company's founding.
The investigation revealed something alarming... many shareholders apparently harbored rebellious intentions.
"Heh heh..."
Jiang Yuan revealed a bloodthirsty expression, completely different from his previous refined demeanor in front of Jiang Che.
"Looks like it's time for a major purge in the company"
......
Late at night.
In the detention center, Lin Yu sat on the toilet, gazing at the night sky through the window, when he accidentally glimpsed a red glow in the sky.
"The Crimson Moon's descent? Damn! How could I forget about this!"
"Tomorrow is when the sacred chamber opens!"
Lin Yu instantly became anxious.
The Crimson Moon's descent! The time for the sacred chamber to open!
This was what his grand master had told him about - the chamber contained priceless treasures that could help him grow stronger!
Most importantly... his master said there was a crucial jade pendant inside!
This jade pendant supposedly represented a marriage agreement!
The other party to the marriage was from a hidden family clan.
Speaking of the marriage agreement... Lin Yu grew even more anxious.
If he couldn't enter the chamber this time, the next opportunity wouldn't come for six years.
In six years, he'd be damn 25 years old, and his betrothed would probably be married to someone else by then!
This was no joke!
"Officer! Officer, I have an emergency, please let me out!"
"Sir, I'm begging you, please let me out! I really have an emergency, my mother died... I need to attend her funeral"
However, no one paid any attention to him.
"Seven days! Only seven days left... I must get out!"
But escape was definitely not an option, he could only slowly think of another way.
......
Early the next morning.
Jiang Che prepared to set out.
To steal Lin Yu's destined opportunity in advance.
Of course, Jiang Che was cautious... he wouldn't go alone.
Who knew if there might be traps or something similar?
So he brought a large group of people, most of them hired from security companies, and even included several professional demolition experts.
Dozens of people marched imposingly into the small forest.
Although Jiang Che didn't know the exact location, he only knew it was beneath a mountain spring.
But that wasn't a problem!
Search the mountain!
Many hands make light work - while they searched the mountain, Jiang Che lounged in a rattan chair eating chips leisurely.
"Oh? Ye Mengyao sent me a text?"
Jiang Che curiously opened the message.
"Heh... wants to invite me out?"
"Sorry, I decline!"
Jiang Che understood Ye Mengyao's little thoughts too well - sometimes girls are just like that... the more you retreat, the more forward they become.
Simply put, it was despicable!
On the other side, the rejected Ye Mengyao stared blankly at her phone, her beautiful big eyes glazed with a thin layer of mist.
She bit her thin lips hard, not wanting to appear so disheveled.
After being repeatedly rejected... her composure was starting to crack.
She had already been willing to overcome her androphobia... wanting to try dating Jiang Che.
But why wouldn't he give her this chance?
Beside her, Yu Wan'er saw Ye Mengyao's state and felt complicated emotions.
Ye Mengyao... actually had feelings for Jiang Che!
If Jiang Che had really interfered, making Ye Mengyao fall for him... and then exposed her own gold-digging nature.
She just wanted to survive... why did Jiang Che always want to target her?
That bad person!
"Sister Mengyao, don't think about that nasty man anymore, let's go watch a movie together!" Yu Wan'er actively linked arms with Ye Mengyao.
Ye Mengyao's transformation made Yu Wan'er somewhat panicked. If she came to dislike her and their relationship fell apart... then she would have to get a job.
She didn't want to work, she just wanted to be a little parasite.
Ye Mengyao nodded and gave Yu Wan'er a gentle smile.
Then she hugged the little loli tightly, she loved the milky fragrance that emanated from Yu Wan'er the most.
......
"Young master! We found it! We've discovered a huge stone door!"
"But we can't open it, and there's no key here!"
Several subordinates ran to report to Jiang Che.
"What's the problem? Just use explosives to blast the door open, right?"
Jiang Che said nonchalantly.
Indeed, although the sacred chamber opened once every six years, since he wasn't the protagonist... opening the stone door was quite difficult.
Damn it, why?
Why does the door automatically open when the protagonist arrives?
But when I, the antagonist, come, it stays tightly sealed?
Just like those female protagonists in novels, they immediately give themselves up to the male lead, welcome him with open arms, but develop androphobia when meeting an antagonist like me!
So we need to be more forceful!
"Boom!!!"
Under the professional demolition team's bombardment.
The mere stone door was blasted to pieces.
A sacred chamber was revealed within.
"You... go in first and scout!"
"Bring me any jade pendants and scrolls you find!"
Jiang Che pointed at several bodyguards. As professional bodyguards, they unconditionally obeyed their employer's commands.
The bodyguards hadn't been inside long before they came running out wailing.
"Snakes! There are poisonous snakes inside!"
"There are venomous insects, half-meter-long centipedes..."
"Boss... I got the items!"
A dust-covered bodyguard ran to Jiang Che, handing over a tattered scroll and a light yellow dragon jade pendant.
"Hmm... not bad!"
Jiang Che immediately transferred 100,000 yuan to each bodyguard who went inside!
After all, he wasn't short of money, what's wrong with rewarding them a bit when he's in a good mood?
"Good thing I didn't go in!"
Jiang Che's lips curled into a smile, he had anticipated this scene.
As an antagonist trying to steal the protagonist's opportunity... it was bound to be full of difficulties.
"Nothing else inside?"
The bitten bodyguards shook their heads repeatedly, "Nothing else, I knocked on every floor tile, there's nothing more, inside there's nothing but poisonous insects and snakes... just these two items"
Jiang Che nodded, then took out a plastic jade pendant he had prepared earlier, along with a "Five Years of Research, Three Years of Practice" test preparation book.
"Put these two items back inside, and when you leave... don't forget to repair the stone door"
"Hmm... let's replace it with an electronic door!"
Jiang Che stroked his chin, he was quite looking forward to it.
That guy Lin Yu would definitely come here eventually, wonder what he'll think then?
Exploring an electronic sacred realm, experiencing a cyberpunk life!
He should... be very happy about it, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Che let out a sinister laugh.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
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.
