"Brother... I've already reached the Grandmaster realm, and now my cultivation is at the mid-stage of Grandmaster!"
As she spoke, Chen Ningshuang revealed her cultivation strength. A layer of milky-white energy burst out from her body, forming an indestructible protective aura.
"Grand... Grandmaster?"
Chen Hao was completely stunned.
"Brother, a month ago, my cultivation was still at the late-stage of Transformation Force. It was Young Master Jiang who helped me find various rare treasures... to aid my breakthrough in cultivation."
Chen Ningshuang glanced shyly at Jiang Che beside her. That thing... could it also be considered a rare treasure?
*Ahem*... It's the Vermilion Fruit! Don't get the wrong idea!
"How is this possible? This guy would help you cultivate? He's just a..."
"Brother!!! Leave. If you say another bad word about Young Master Jiang, I'll never acknowledge you as my brother again."
Chen Ningshuang's tone turned serious, and her words shattered Chen Hao's last line of psychological defense.
He wasn't stupid. His sister had always been a martial arts fanatic. You might not be able to lure Shuang'er away with a lollipop, but a powerful martial arts manual? Definitely!
"Shuang'er..."
"Still calling her Shuang'er? She's my Shuang'er now. Get lost!"
Jiang Che cursed impatiently.
"Winter, close the door and refuse visitors."
In the next moment, a silver-haired loli who had been daydreaming on the third floor of the villa descended from above, kicking Chen Hao in the chest and sending him flying.
"Boom—"
The door slammed shut.
"Cough, cough... No..."
Chen Hao looked utterly devastated. This was a situation he had never imagined.
He wasn't stupid; he could tell whether Shuang'er's words were true or not.
Shuang'er, his sister... had also fallen for Jiang Che's sweet temptations.
Suddenly, he felt like a complete clown!
But Shuang'er's improvement in strength was undeniable. Could all of this really be Jiang Che's doing?
Becoming a Grandmaster in just a month? Forget Shuang'er... even he was tempted!
In an instant, Chen Hao slapped his thigh hard!
He turned and lunged at the closed door. "Young Master Jiang, brother-in-law... from now on, we're family!"
"Open the door! Even though you're my brother-in-law, we can address each other separately. You call me 'little brother,' and I'll call you 'Young Master Jiang.'"
He was all about flexibility!
But Jiang Che obviously wouldn't pay any attention to Chen Hao.
......
"Shuang'er, your brother's principles are quite flexible, huh?"
Chen Ningshuang lowered her head, feeling utterly embarrassed.
She unilaterally declared that she was cutting off all sibling ties with Chen Hao!
"But you performed quite well today. I'll take you to cultivate tonight," Jiang Che said, patting Chen Ningshuang's body.
Chen Ningshuang buried her head even lower, hesitating as she spoke.
"I just broke through today, and my realm isn't fully stabilized yet. Some of the inner force you passed to me hasn't been fully absorbed, so let's not cultivate tonight..."
...
When passing by the Vermilion Fruit tree, Jiang Che's veins bulged on his forehead as he saw the spirit field that had been plowed by Su Mianmian.
[Su Mianmian, get out here right now!]
"Meow~~~"
Su Mianmian reluctantly walked out.
She strutted over to Jiang Che's pants leg, rubbing her head against his leg.
[I admit... I stole your precious fruit, but I also made a major discovery!]
[I found that this black soil seems to have some kind of magical power. Being near it, my soul feels cleansed, and I have this vague feeling that I can take human form.]
"Haha, and I thought it was some major discovery!"
Jiang Che sneered.
This was a spirit field, after all. In this era devoid of spiritual energy, this was the only spirit field left.
Ancient martial artists could greatly improve their cultivation efficiency near the spirit field. If Su Mianmian ate Vermilion Fruits every day and slept on the spirit field, she might indeed become a spirit beast and eventually take human form.
"Su Mianmian, you need to understand one thing: it's you who's eager to take human form. I'm not forcing you!"
Unexpectedly, Su Mianmian strutted over with a seductive gait, flicking her tail at Jiang Che.
[You think I don't know? You're just waiting for the day I take human form.]
[You furry-loving pervert, I was a campus belle in my past life, you know? If I take human form... with a pair of white fluffy cat ears, a fluffy tail, silver twin tails, and a stunningly beautiful face... tsk tsk, you'll be mesmerized.]
Jiang Che: "..."
Damn, she's got me!
[Help me take human form, and I'll let you have your way with me once. How about it? A good deal?]
Seeing Jiang Che remain silent, Su Mianmian thought for a moment and added.
[Twice? No... three times?]
[If you think it's unfair, I'll be your cat maid for a month. How about that?]
[But no more! I need my freedom too.]
Look at how hard this little cat is working to take human form!
"Su Mianmian, you've got some nerve, huh? You dare to bargain with me? With so many women around, do I really need a cat girl like you?"
Jiang Che grabbed Su Mianmian's tail and lifted her up.
"Hey! Hey! Don't pull my tail! It's sensitive! It hurts!"
The shady deal failed!
......
Time flew by.
The three-day appointment with Shen Yu arrived quickly.
Young Master Jiang went back to school.
To be honest, if it weren't for Shen Yu, the girl of destiny, being at the school, Jiang Che would never have gone to school.
Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and spend time with the girls?
"Hey, you stinky Jiang Che, are you going to school to hit on Shen Yu again?"
Yu Wan'er spoke up, secretly pinching Jiang Che's thigh. Although the little loli had now become a Dark Force Master, Jiang Che's skin was thick, and she couldn't break through his defenses.
Unless she bit him, and even then, she'd have to bite the right spot to possibly break his defense!
Jiang Che smirked, cupping the little girl's soft face in his hands and planting a kiss on her cheek.
Yu Wan'er had been pampered by Jiang Che, her little face now slightly chubby, resembling a small bun.
"Don't kiss me, you stink!"
The girl made a disgusted face.
"Smart girl, you guessed right! But no reward."
"I knew it, you pervert! But you'll never win Shen Yu over. I know her personality well. She's parentless, has no weaknesses, and is terrifyingly rational."
Jiang Che smiled mysteriously. "Then let's make a bet, shall we?"
The little loli frowned. "What bet?"
Jiang Che leaned down and whispered a few words into Yu Wan'er's ear. Her face turned bright red, and she shrank back.
[Pervert!!!]
"Hehe, I can make Shen Yu willingly kiss me. Do you believe it?"
Yu Wan'er laughed, placing her hands on her hips. "Are you dreaming? Or has this giant goblin lost his mind over women?"
Before she could finish her bold words, she stopped herself. She always had trouble controlling her mouth, and provoking Jiang Che was never a wise move.
