"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”

Sophia scoffed with disdain.

“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"

Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”

"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.

"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."

Alex laughed.

"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."

What a braggart!

Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.

She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.

How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?

"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sophia retorted.

"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."

"I…"

"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.

"But…"

Alex tried to protest.

This was his room.

“NOW!”

Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.

He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.

"I…"

"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.

"Alright."

In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.

He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.

If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.

But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.

"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."

As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.

The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.

Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.

He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.

A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.

"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.

Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"

"Young Master,

please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed.

"I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"

"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.

With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.

"Tell me what youre here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.

Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.

"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.

He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.

Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.

"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."

Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.

"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”

“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”

“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."

Alex looked at the card without any interest.

Alfred continued.

"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”

“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."

Alfred explained with caution.

Alex nodded.

"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."

“Now, tell me what you want.”

    Alex had hoped—truly hoped—that he would lose this fight.He didn’t want to become the Dao partner of Hou Mei… or Li Qingxue.Either path was a trap.His plan had been simple—force Li Qingxue into the spotlight as a Core Disciple, stir enough pressure and tension that Hou Mei would have no choice but to step back on her own.Clean. Controlled. Effective.But Li Qingxue…She had no intention of helping him.Not even a little.If anything, she seemed determined to do the exact opposite—crushing his plan without hesitation, leaving him trapped in the very situation he was trying to escape.“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue said coldly, “keep your delusions to yourself. You are not worthy to be my Dao partner. Give up.”Before Alex could respond, Hou Mei stepped forward, her tone soft but pressing, almost eager. “Jun Jiu, you heard Miss Li Qingxue. Why not stop struggling? Come with me instead. Be my Dao partner.”Her voice dropped slightly, more intimate now.“We can even start now. I promise… I’ll

    The referee stood at the center of the arena, robes fluttering in the wind as his voice rang out across the vast grounds.“This,” he declared, sweeping his gaze over the roaring crowd, “is the most anticipated battle of the year at Thousand Herbs Peak!”The noise swelled—thousands of disciples pressing forward, eyes burning with anticipation.“And now,” the referee continued, his tone sharpening with excitement, “we arrive at the pinnacle of the tournament—the clash between the first and second-ranked contenders!”A beat.“Who will claim the title of this year’s top outer disciples of Thousand Herbs Peak?”He raised one hand, pointing to the right side of the arena.“From the right—Hou Mei!”The crowd erupted.“She is acknowledged as the most beautiful fairy of Thousand Herbs Peak—ranked among the top ten beauties of the entire Wudang Sect!”Cheers turned into a frenzy of admiration.“She has defeated every challenger before her with overwhelming skill. Her cultivation stands at the p

    Alex stepped out of the arena as if the outcome meant nothing to him—no triumph, no defeat, no lingering attachment. His expression was calm, almost indifferent.But the truth ran deeper.He wanted to lose.Because standing at the top didn’t just bring glory—it brought attention. Pressure. Endless trouble that never stopped knocking at your door.The tallest tree always caught the strongest wind.And eventually… the woodcutters came.Across the arena, Elder Yu approached Li Qingxue, his robe swaying with quiet authority. His eyes, however, were fixed—sharp, intent.“Give me the pill,” he said, extending his hand. “I need to examine what kind of medicine he created.”As a respected elder of the Medicine Pavilion, his words carried weight.Li Qingxue hesitated for only a moment before reaching into her sleeve and taking out one of the pills Alex had refined. She placed it carefully into Elder Yu’s palm.The elder lifted it slowly, studying its surface… then brought it closer to his nose

    “Wait—wait!” Lu Nan’s voice cut sharply across the arena as he stepped forward and bowed toward the referee. “I clearly heard him say surrender. Shouldn’t you be announcing that I’ve already won?”The referee turned, his gaze settling on Alex. “Did you just say you surrender?”Alex inclined his head. “Yes. I did.” He paused. “But that was before he insulted my parents. Now… I have no intention of surrendering.”Lu Nan’s expression twisted. “A man’s word, once spoken, should never be taken back!” he shouted.“And a man,” Alex replied coldly, lifting his chin, “never lets anyone insult his parents and walk away.”A faint, dangerous smile touched his lips.“When you lose… believe me, I’ll take your tongue.”A murmur rippled through the crowd.“Referee!” Lu Nan barked, his patience snapping. “You must declare my victory!”The referee raised a hand, leaving no room for argument. “The match will proceed. Jun Jiu has withdrawn his surrender and is willing to continue. Therefore—you will figh

    What truly shocked everyone—especially Elder Xiao—was the Eternal Blue Flower.Growing one was no simple task. It demanded relentless care, precision, and patience. One mistake—just one—and the flower would wither and die instantly. Because of that, no one outside Elder Xiao and her direct disciples had ever succeeded in cultivating it.And yet—Li Qingxue had returned with one.Not only that… it was massive.At a glance, it was clearly over twenty-five centimeters.A ripple of disbelief spread through the hall.Li Qingxue walked calmly toward the Peak Leaders, her expression composed, almost indifferent to the storm she had just unleashed.“I was asked to bring the smallest flower,” she said evenly. “This is the best I could find.”She paused, glancing down at the glowing blue petals in her hand.“I estimate it to be around twenty-seven centimeters.”Shock exploded across every elder’s face.For years, they had bent themselves to please Elder Xiao—enduring her conditions, her prices,

    “Tang Ming, how do you want this competition to be decided?” one of the elders asked, his voice calm but carrying across the arena.Tang Ming lifted his chin, pride glinting in his eyes. “A few years ago, I placed eleventh in the herb knowledge test. My name is carved into the stone stele rankings—you can see it for yourself.”There was no modesty in his tone—only certainty. Among the younger generation, he stood alone. Everyone ranked above him had long since died. There was no one left to challenge his claim.“So,” he continued, glancing at Alex, “I’ll take the herb ranking test again. I’m confident I’ll enter the top ten. You should take it too. Whoever ranks higher wins this competition.”“Alright,” Alex said.His voice was flat, almost indifferent. The truth was, he didn’t care.“Good!” Tang Ming grinned, already turning away. “I’ll head to the medical pavilion now.”Without waiting another second, he rushed down the peak toward the stone stele test, his robes fluttering behind h
