Gu Chenan's body stiffened, and he stood there dumbfounded.
The air around seemed to freeze, as if time had pressed pause.
[What... what's going on?]
[How does Qianmo know what I'm thinking?]
Gu Chenan's heart trembled.
[So... does that mean Qianmo knows I'm about to leave?!]
"That's right, you'll be leaving in one day and eight hours, no, to be precise, one day and seven hours left."
Su Qianmo gazed at Gu Chenan with reluctance, her beautiful face filled with sorrow.
[Damn, don't respond to my inner thoughts, it's creepy.]
"I-I understand." Su Qianmo pursed her lips.
[You're still doing it?]
"I-I won't say anymore." Su Qianmo quickly covered her mouth and blinked her eyes.
"Sigh."
Gu Chenan sighed and plopped back down on the sofa.
"When did you start being able to hear?" Gu Chenan turned his head and asked resignedly.
"Well... since the day you kidnapped me." Su Qianmo said somewhat shyly.
As soon as Gu Chenan heard this, he immediately understood!
[Damn, so Qianmo has known everything I've been thinking all this time?!]
[Thankfully I didn't think of anything weird, otherwise it would have been mortifying!]
[Stop thinking, stop thinking, my inner thoughts are transparent in front of Qianmo, this is too embarrassing! How is this any different from being naked?]
Gu Chenan shook his head, forcibly dispersing the thoughts in his mind.
"I'm sorry," he said dejectedly.
"Why are you apologizing?" Su Qianmo gently rested her head on Gu Chenan's shoulder, her eyes moist as tears fell: "I've known for a long time that you were going to leave... it's not your fault."
Gu Chenan tenderly wiped away her tears: "Thank you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Su Qianmo suddenly sat up, forcing a smile: "We still have one day and seven hours, we have plenty of time."
"Gu Chenan!"
At that moment, an angry Fang Yuanyuan stood at the main hall's entrance with her hands on her hips.
The sunlight from outside the hall shone behind her, casting her petite silhouette in a holy golden glow.
"Come out here!" she commanded.
...
In the pavilion.
"Why did you call me out here? Surely not to admire the scenery with you?"
Gu Chenan joked, looking at Fang Yuanyuan who had her back turned to him and hadn't said a word.
"I know everything now."
Fang Yuanyuan turned around, her expression particularly solemn.
[She knows? Knows what?]
[Could it be... hiss, can Fang Yuanyuan hear my thoughts too?]
Gu Chenan blinked uncertainly.
[Not sure, let's try...]
[Fang... Fang Yuanyuan is a noob?]
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Fang Yuanyuan asked, looking at Gu Chenan who hadn't uttered a word for a while.
Gu Chenan was instantly delighted.
[Great, it seems Fang Yuanyuan can't hear my thoughts, which means... only Qianmo can?]
"It's nothing." Gu Chenan shook his head and said: "What do you know?"
"I know everything!" Fang Yuanyuan stroked her chin smugly and said: "So this world is a world inside a novel, right?"
"What...!"
Gu Chenan's eyes widened instantly.
[What the hell, I thought she couldn't hear my thoughts, how does she know this is a world inside a novel?]
Fang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Gu Chenan, raising a finger and still speaking maturely: "Listen to me first."
"I've long felt that something was off about this world. Here, no one can use magic, we mechanically repeat the same life every day, all that poetry and distant lands are fake, so this world must be fake too!"
As she spoke, she excitedly rushed in front of Gu Chenan and said: "Quick, tell me, what's your world like, no, what's the real world like?"
"Is it like in anime, where everyone can use magic?"
Looking at the expectant gleam in Fang Yuanyuan's blinking eyes, Gu Chenan's mouth twitched.
[The two-dimensional world is terrifying, stay away from me.]
"Sister Fang, how did you find out?" Gu Chenan asked.
Fang Yuanyuan waved her raised finger and said: "Never mind that, answer my question."
"Gulp."
Gu Chenan sighed: "To be honest, the real world isn't much different from this one, uh... to be precise, it's not nearly as interesting as this world."
"Huh?"
Fang Yuanyuan's eyes dimmed: "No way?"
"Really."
Gu Chenan added: "If it were in the real world, the things you've done would be enough for dozens of death sentences."
"Tch."
Fang Yuanyuan waved her hand: "I don't believe you."
Gu Chenan couldn't be bothered to say more, shrugging as he said: "Let's go inside, the food should be ready, let's eat."
But as soon as he turned around, he felt his clothes being tugged.
"What now?"
Fang Yuanyuan bit her lip and said: "If you're going back... can... can you take me with you?"
"You can't be serious." Gu Chenan turned his head: "You want to go to that boring world too? You're the esteemed Black Owl leader in this world, but you'd be nothing in that one."
"I don't care." Fang Yuanyuan said firmly: "The hero crossing over to another world for a wonderful adventure must take me along."
Another world...
Gu Chenan's mouth twitched: "I told you, that world is very boring, and it's not some other world."
[Besides, I don't think I have the ability to take you with me...]
"I don't believe you, I want to see for myself!" Fang Yuanyuan insisted stubbornly.
Ugh...
Gu Chenan sighed helplessly: "Fine, I'll try."
"Great, it's settled then!" Fang Yuanyuan excitedly jumped onto Gu Chenan's back, wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist.
Gu Chenan held onto Fang Yuanyuan's legs and hoisted her up: "If you fall, I won't be responsible."
"Okay!"
After saying this, Fang Yuanyuan's excited expression suddenly changed.
She pressed her face tightly against Gu Chenan's back, her eyes instantly turning red.
There is no other world... I don't want to go to another world...
I just want to be with you forever!
Entering the main hall.
Liu Mingrui had already prepared a table full of dishes.
Bai Yutian had also brought the simmered chicken soup to the table.
"Chenan, come eat!"
"Young Master Gu, the chicken soup is ready!"
Liu Mingrui, like a wife, waved to Gu Chenan while wearing an apron, while Bai Yutian held the chicken soup, smiling particularly brightly.
Gu Chenan was struck by this scene.
His heart suddenly clenched, as if hit by lightning.
This scene was too beautiful, too perfect to bear tearing apart with his own hands.
The thought that he would never see them again made Gu Chenan feel a sense of disorientation.
It was as if he had been in a beautiful dream all this time, a dream he didn't want to wake up from.
Gu Chenan took a moment to compose himself, then smiled and said: "Finally ready, I'm starving."
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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?
