"Mom~ I drank too much last night..."
Zhao Li's smile widened upon hearing Ji Ningxue's words.
Nothing happened? With those hickeys all over... Who would believe nothing happened between you two?
"Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
The woman beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum before leaning closer to Ji Ningxue. "Sweetie, did you two use protection last night? Please tell me you didn’t... If you get pregnant, you’ll be set for life with the Jiang Family! That’s a real powerhouse."
"With their backing, life will be so much easier. You won’t have to work yourself to the bone anymore."
Zhao Li might be calculating, but there was no denying it—she was a devoted mother, much like Yu Wan'er’s adoptive mother.
Before Ji Ningxue could respond, Zhao Li pulled her onto the bed and drew the curtains.
"Sweetie, you’ve been married to Xiao Chen for three years and you’re still a virgin. Clearly, you’re lacking in knowledge. Mom’s been through it all—let me teach you a few tricks..."
Ji Ningxue: "......"
Sometimes, she truly felt hopeless!
......
Capital City, near Yi Garden.
By the lakeside, thousands of people had gathered, forming a bustling crowd.
At the center stood a young man dressed in flowing white ancient robes, wielding a sword with effortless grace.
Jiang Ruoxu was nothing like his former self. He hadn’t meditated or cultivated in over a month.
With a system at his disposal, why bother with traditional training? Just allocating points was way more efficient, wasn’t it?
With a casual flick of his wrist, his sword unleashed countless razor-sharp gusts of energy, so dense they seemed almost tangible. Even the falling leaves in the air were instantly pulverized.
The crowd erupted in awe.
[Ding! Host has pulled off a cool move, earning 9,000 Bravado Points.]
[Ding! 5 million viewers watched host’s live broadcast of showing off, earning 50,000 Bravado Points.]
Unconsciously, Jiang Ruoxu’s lips curled into a smirk.
He glanced at his system panel:
[Host: Jiang Ruoxu]
[Title Level: Minor Show-Off King]
[Bravado Points: 1.2 million]
That’s right—in just two months, he’d earned over a million Bravado Points just by showing off. But he hadn’t spent a single point. He was saving up to buy a Body Reconstruction Pill for his master.
The pill cost a whopping 10 million points. At first, Jiang Ruoxu thought it would take forever, but now, with live-streamed grandstanding, things had gotten much easier.
In a year or two at most, his master could regain her immortal form.
His master had shown him immeasurable kindness. He had to work hard, buy her the best Body Reconstruction Pill, and maybe even give her a huge surprise!
[Master, Master, check this out! That sword technique was my own creation!]
Inside the ring, Mo Lianxing—a stunning soul in spectral form—let out a bored yawn, her flawless face twisting in mild disdain. Her disciple... was such a child. No, scratch that—he was a child!
As a soul, she had no way to replenish her spiritual energy without Soul Nurturing Pills. Every time she woke up, she was draining her own essence.
And yet, this idiot disciple of hers kept yapping away, annoying her to no end.
Though lately, her little disciple seemed to have stumbled upon some kind of fortuitous encounter?
His cultivation had skyrocketed—in just a few months, he’d reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Well, whatever. At least this meant she could worry less.
"Yaaawn... so sleepy~~~"
Mo Lianxing stretched lazily, her ethereal beauty enough to captivate the mortal world.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruoxu continued his one-man show.
But just as he was mid-performance, several figures stepped through the crowd.
They carried katana on their backs and wore traditional white Japanese martial arts uniforms—clearly warriors from the Land of Blossoms.
"Hey, you Dragon Country rookie! I challenge you!"
The moment these words were spoken, countless eyes turned toward them.
The lead warrior stood with his katana strapped to his back, exuding an air of arrogance.
Jiang Ruoxu was annoyed. Nothing pissed him off more than being interrupted mid-performance.
But when he saw they were warriors from the Land of Blossoms, excitement surged through him.
Finally, some opponents! He was itching for a fight—so much so that he’d love to track down Jiang Che and beat him up.
These warriors seemed decently strong. Perfect.
Jiang Ruoxu was thrilled. Not only did he have sparring partners, but they were also... well, from that country.
"Are you sure? Absolutely sure you want to fight me?" Jiang Ruoxu asked repeatedly.
He was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. Any competent martial artist could sense the overwhelming pressure of his aura.
"Of course! You Dragon Country weaklings..."
The warriors were cocky. Clearly, it was time for the protagonist to shine.
Jiang Ruoxu got serious. Strangely, he couldn’t gauge their strength.
That meant one of two things: either they had a technique to conceal their cultivation, or they were far stronger than him.
Either way, this was a formidable opponent!
"I’m ready. Bring it on!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Ruoxu tightened his grip on his sword. His inner energy erupted, forming a translucent protective barrier as fierce gusts swirled around him.
He was not holding back.
If his opponent was this strong, pulling off a victory would net him a massive haul of Bravado Points.
The katana-wielding warriors charged at him recklessly.
"Huh? No protective barrier? Are they... Heaven Realm experts? Planning to suppress me with their martial domain?"
"Wait, I can’t sense any energy at all. Are they body-refining masters who’ve reached perfection?"
"No way. This has to be a trap. I’m going all out!"
With that, Jiang Ruoxu channeled every ounce of his energy into a single strike.
"Celestial Descent!"
This was his ultimate technique—a martial art rewarded by the system.
It was powerful enough to withstand a strike from a Heaven Realm expert!
A terrifying storm of sword energy erupted, forming a deadly domain that slashed toward the warriors.
The crowd held their breath.
Jiang Ruoxu was beyond tense—this was the first time he’d used this move in actual combat.
But what happened next left everyone stunned.
The sword energy tore through the warriors like paper, reducing them to nothing but a fine mist of blood in an instant.
Jiang Ruoxu was dumbfounded. Wait... was his technique that overpowered?
The spectators were equally horrified. That was... brutal.
[Ding! Host has pulled off a ruthless, decisive performance, earning 1,000 Bravado Points.]
[Ding! Host has bullied the weak in style, earning 6,666 Bravado Points.]
Jiang Ruoxu finally understood—these warriors weren’t hidden experts or supreme masters.
They were just... overconfident amateurs.
And he’d annihilated them like they were nothing.
"AHHH!!! HE KILLED THEM!"
In an instant, screams erupted from the scene.
Jiang Ruoxu's scalp prickled with dread.
Damn it, he was in deep trouble now!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
wed him to see the innate talent, destiny, and future of those he invested in. The greater the destiny of his target, the richer the rewards he would reap. Then he discovered that the aloof girl next door, his childhood sweetheart, possessed the highest-grade crimson destiny—a future destined to reign supreme as the Empress of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Lately, she seemed troubled, pondering how to unlock her sealed meridians and unleash her talents ahead of time... — — — My name is Ying Bing, one of the Nine Heavenly Sovereigns, titled the Phoenix Empress, reigning invincibly over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. I have been reborn and bound to a Peerless Genius System, where ranking first among my peers grants me rewards. [Would you like to activate the Punishment Mechanism?] [Upon activation, rewards will increase, but after the rankings are announced, you must carry out the "Punishment of the Defeated" on the top-ranked individual.] Ying Bing: "I can’t very well punish myself, can I?" — — — Years later. Ying Bing: "Can’t you let me win just once?" Li Mo: "First, call me 'husband' properly—I didn’t hear it clearly last time."
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
