In the courtyard of the Shangguan family.
Hei Yi, dressed in black robes, knelt on the ground.
His expression was extremely solemn: "My lady... this is how things stand."
Shangguan Chuxue stood in the small pavilion of the courtyard with her hands behind her back, gazing with interest at the bright moon in the sky.
The corner of her mouth curved upward slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement: "Oh?"
"You're saying... Water Moon sent news that Wu Cheng has disappeared."
"Long Jiuxiao, Shangguan Xiao, and even their protector Shangguan Quan, were all subdued by Su Muwan with a single palm strike?"
Gulp.
Hei Yi swallowed heavily with a grave expression. Whenever the lady spoke like this,
It meant she was extremely excited.
Su Muwan... you're really done for, you've truly caught my lady's full attention!
And once someone catches her attention...
None of them ever met a good end!
He took a deep breath and slowly replied: "Yes, my lady... the news has spread all over the media networks."
"Hehe."
"Interesting."
Shangguan Chuxue chuckled softly, her eyes revealing the excitement of finding a worthy opponent.
How long has it been, how many years?
I've finally found an opponent worthy of my attention.
Su Muwan... defeating them with a single palm strike.
Heh, interesting, truly interesting.
It seems the plans for this selection tournament... have failed.
But it doesn't matter.
If it weren't like this, I would think Su Muwan incapable of entertaining me.
Thinking this,
Shangguan Chuxue slowly spoke: "Su Muwan has passed this test, next..."
"Hei Yi..."
She turned her head to look at the nervous and fearful man, chuckling as she said: "Go deliver a grand gift to the War God."
"He's been away for so long, it's time for him to come back and see his wife and daughter."
Hei Yi swallowed: "Yes!"
Swoosh!
His figure disappeared.
A mysterious look appeared in Shangguan Chuxue's eyes.
As long as they're human, they will be suspicious of each other.
As long as there's suspicion, there will be betrayal.
So... Su Muwan, when you're betrayed by the War God's wife and daughter,
How will you defend against that?
....
...
Early the next morning.
The International Warrior Corps Selection Tournament officially began.
In the VIP area.
This was the area with the best and most open view, accessible only by invitation from the tournament organizers.
Most people here were well-known industry leaders from various fields.
Besides loving to watch the matches,
They also... placed bets on who they thought would win the Warrior King title!
A pot-bellied boss sat on the sofa marked with his seat card, twirling his small mustache as he chuckled: "Everyone, how shall we play this year?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Someone nearby immediately laughed: "Heh, Boss Wang, isn't it obvious? This tournament has no suspense. I've already bet everything on Long Jiuxiao from the Long family."
"I mean, besides him, who else could win the Warrior King title?"
"No, no, no, I think Ailinna from the Western Nations is also a strong contender for the championship."
"Black Dragon Qiandao from Cherry Blossom City in the Eastern Kingdom is no ordinary fighter either. You should know, he's the brother of that legendary leader of the Black Dragon Organization!"
"Heh, you're all wrong. I've heard through the grapevine that Miss Jiang has already bought off all the relevant connections. The final championship will definitely go to the Jiang family!"
"By the way, where's Miss Shangguan? Wasn't she supposed to come today?"
"Uh... didn't you see the news last night?"
"News?"
The speaker was confused and was about to ask further when.
Bang!
The door opened.
Several figures walked in.
It was Su Muwan, Qin Luo, and others!
The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning what happened after breaking the ice last night.
Qin Luo escorted Su Muwan to the front row, then said: "Young Miss, I'm leaving now, I need to go score."
After Su Muwan sat down, she nodded, then seemed to think of something.
So she pulled Qin Luo closer and whispered with a wink: "Also, Qin Luo, give everyone else the lowest scores and our people the highest scores, understand?"
"Yes, Young Miss."
With that,
Qin Luo left the scene.
Su Bailian, sitting next to Su Muwan, twitched her eye upon hearing this.
Hey, couldn't you speak a bit quieter?
The wealthy spectators exchanged glances.
Looking at each other in bewilderment.
What?
Huh?
You're just openly conspiring like this?
We all operate in secret, but you just announce it publicly??
You call that lowering your voice?
Are you here to cause trouble?
"You..."
"Hey, wait, don't provoke this person."
"Why not?"
"Give me your phone."
"Let me find it for you."
......
.....
The selection tournament was held in the center of a small island, with the venue surrounded by local thorny fences.
Cameras were already set up all around, covering every angle without blind spots.
Media reporters began filming the scene and interviewing contestants.
The commentator was a beautiful young lady.
She spoke into the microphone, continuously introducing the entering guests: "Welcome everyone to the 188th International Warrior Corps Selection Tournament!"
"Please join us in enjoying the upcoming spectacular martial arts battles!"
"There are 32 groups of contestants in total! Two people per group!"
"The matches will be point-based! Followed by scoring from the judges! The average score will be taken to determine the final winner!"
"Now let's welcome today's three judges!!"
"First up is! The Divine Doctor!"
As the commentator finished speaking,
The camera immediately focused on the Divine Doctor.
Some spectators were very excited and expectant.
"I've heard the Divine Doctor is almost a hundred years old but still as vigorous as a young man."
"Yes, they say he's been practicing health cultivation, so his body is incredibly strong!"
"It's so lucky to see the Divine Doctor's grace in this tournament!"
However...
When everyone looked at the Divine Doctor in the camera...
They were...
Dumbfounded.
They saw.
The Divine Doctor sitting in a wheelchair, pale-faced, with lifeless eyes.
His once legendarily straight posture was now hunched, looking as if a breeze could knock him over.
Those hands that were said to be able to bring the dead back to life now rested weakly on the wheelchair armrests, trembling slightly.
"Uh..."
The Divine Doctor saw himself on the big screen and immediately gulped.
Quick! Change the camera angle!
The scene immediately became chaotic, with everyone unable to believe what they were seeing.
Is this really the legendary Divine Doctor? The miracle worker who could still perform amazing medical feats at a hundred years old?
Snap!
The camera cut away.
The commentator wiped her sweat and awkwardly said: "Everyone please remain calm! The Divine Doctor is just too tired recently and needs rest, please don't panic too much!"
"Well! Um! Let's look at our next judge! The famous female judge from the Western Nations!! Elma!"
With that,
The camera turned to the person in the middle.
This person.
Had snow-white skin, golden wavy curls, and alluring red lips.
However..
She had a burly build and was wearing a leopard-print camisole.
And her voice was...
"Mua~~"
"Hello everyone~"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
] 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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
