The next day, in Jiang City.
Inside the Su family estate.
Qin Luo listened to the morning system notifications while leisurely practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
The plotline involving Shangguan Chuxue was finally over.
All that was left was to send Shangguan Chuxue and Suan Tianxing to a mental institution.
Oh, right.
Let’s check my current stats.
With a thought, Qin Luo summoned his system panel.
In the next moment, a familiar interface appeared before him.

Feeling quite pleased, Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction.
Following Su Muwan has been a steady climb—small promotions every three days, big ones every five.
He had once again gained a bit more ability to protect himself.
At that moment, Zhu Lan, who had also been practicing Tai Chi and guarding the house for the past few days, shuffled over.
During this trip to Wang City, the young mistress, who had always favored her, didn’t bring her along. Instead, she was left behind in Jiang City to watch over the estate.
After sulking for a night, Zhu Lan had come to a realization.
Think about it—why did the young mistress ask her to stay behind and not Qin Luo?
It must be because...
Young Mistress Su trusted her more! She felt more at ease with her!
Practicing Tai Chi, Zhu Lan glanced at Qin Luo’s radiant smile and cleared her throat before asking, “Qin Luo, was Wang City fun?”
Qin Luo closed his panel and replied cheerfully, “Anywhere is fun as long as I’m with the young mistress.”
“Uh...”
Zhu Lan’s eye twitched.
Damn it. Watching the house isn’t bad, but I also want to go out with the young mistress!
No, hold it together, Zhu Lan. The young mistress trusts you, that’s why she left you in charge.
Qin Luo just went on his first trip with her, that’s all.
Don’t let him see how envious you are.
Additionally, she glanced toward a corner of the courtyard and asked with a strange expression, “Also, I’ve been meaning to ask—who’s that guy squatting over there?”
Qin Luo followed her gaze.
There, Suan Tianxing, seemingly having suffered some kind of breakdown, was crouched in a dark corner of the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.
He kept muttering, “I... I’m a celestial master...”
“They even wanted to drag ghost cultivators back to Dragon Tiger Mountain to stand trial...”
“But they expelled me from the sect just for indulging in a few romantic flings...”
“Heh... heh heh...”
Qin Luo looked away and met Zhu Lan’s puzzled gaze. “Just a lunatic. Don’t worry about him.”
Zhu Lan nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to a patch of weeds in the courtyard. “And who’s that over there?”
Qin Luo looked over.
There, lying in a messy pile of grass, was Shangguan Chuxue, also staring blankly at the sky.
She held a small yellow flower in her hand, muttering to herself, “I just wanted you all to fall into the abyss. What did I do wrong?”
Then, with a venomous glare and a bitter smile, she added, “The Shangguan family...”
“Isn’t this what you wanted me to become?”
“Hah, hah hah, hah hah hah!”
Qin Luo turned back to Zhu Lan and said with a smile, “Another lunatic.”
Zhu Lan: ???
So you brought back two lunatics?
And they slept in the courtyard all night?
Time passed.
In the Su family’s bedroom.
Su Muwan lay contentedly on her soft bed, the first rays of morning sunlight filtering through the thin curtains and gently caressing her face.
Her cascading black hair spilled over the white pillow, framing her serene sleeping face, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
The morning air was fresh and warm, and the birds outside were chirping merrily.
A faint floral scent lingered in the room, intoxicating and soothing.
“Mmm~”
Su Muwan slowly opened her eyes, letting out a satisfied hum.
The soft light filled her vision, and a sense of contentment welled up in her heart.
Perfect.
A warm morning, pleasant weather.
Ah~~
This is the life after rebirth!
All that talk about ruling the world or dealing with so-called chosen ones?
Screw it! All of it!
This life, I just want to live peacefully!!!
With that thought, Su Muwan got up and walked gracefully to the full-length mirror. Looking at her reflection in her shark-themed pajamas, she couldn’t help but smile.
What a beauty.
Hehe, the good life~~
It’s about to begin!!
The next moment.
“Young Mistress, it’s time to get up and head to the mental institution.”
Qin Luo’s voice came through.
Crack!
The morning’s idyllic atmosphere shattered.
Su Muwan’s smile faltered, and her energy drained away.
Don’t bring up work at a time like this!
“Ugh!”
The car rolled forward.
Su Muwan leaned back in her seat, her black boots swaying slightly with the motion of the vehicle.
Qin Luo sat beside her, his gaze unconsciously drawn to the tip of her boot.
Gulp!
I really want to taste it...
Su Muwan, meanwhile, glanced at Qin Luo’s hand.
After the trip to Wang City, whether it was due to his leveling up or something else, his hand... looked even more delicate and alluring, like jade.
I really want those hands to feed me something.
Sigh.
Both of them turned to look out the window, sighing softly.
Su Muwan gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in thought.
If only...
Qin Luo looked at the distant scenery, his mind wandering.
If only...
We could be together.
Wouldn’t that mean...
As if sensing each other’s thoughts, Qin Luo and Su Muwan turned to look at each other at the same time.
Their eyes met, and they both smiled.
“Heh.”
“Heh.”
After laughing, they turned back to the window, their expressions tinged with melancholy.
Sigh.
He (she) would probably think I’m a pervert.
