Inside the opulent room, Nishimura Koishi lay comfortably on the sofa, while three exceptionally beautiful young maids massaged him.
Just as he was thoroughly enjoying himself, someone outside suddenly reported, “Leader Nishimura, Chiba Masaka has made her move. It was indeed the black flame, and she used it very decisively, without any hesitation or concern.”
Nishimura Koishi hummed in acknowledgment.
Just then, the reporting person outside spoke again, “Leader Nishimura, there’s one thing this subordinate doesn’t understand.”
“Go ahead and ask.” Nishimura Koishi seemed to be in a good mood.
“The Dark Current organization is sowing discord, trying to make you and Leader Uesugi destroy each other. Not only did you not stop them, but you also played along with their wishes. This subordinate can’t figure out why.”
Nishimura Koishi laughed. “They would have tried to drive a wedge between us sooner or later anyway. It’s better to let them do it now, so they won’t bother me with it again later. Uesugi Fumikazu isn’t foolish enough to fall out with me over a woman.”
“Leader Nishimura is far-sighted and strategic. You turned their own game against them while simultaneously completing your test of Chiba Masaka. This subordinate truly admires you.”
“Mm. You’re the second-in-command of the Dark Current now. Work hard, aim to become the top leader someday. Who knows, maybe a Crimson Sun-level warrior will emerge thanks to you.”
The man was overjoyed. “Thank you, Leader Nishimura!”
Silence fell outside.
After a short while, someone else came to report: “Ye Qingyi’s whereabouts have been discovered. She broke through to B-level three days ago and has now gone to Star Island.”
Nishimura Koishi’s expression turned serious. “Are you sure it’s not someone impersonating her?”
“Witnesses say she looks exactly like Ye Qingyi. Here’s a photo we took.”
Nishimura Koishi took the photo and stared at it for a full three minutes before finally confirming, “It really is her. So, it truly was a coincidence after all.”
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. “Is there any indication she might come to our Warrior Cult? Those strong practitioners from the Xia Kingdom all have this peculiar habit—anyone who thinks they’re somewhat impressive comes here for a visit, as if seeking enlightenment.”
The reporting person’s expression turned strange. “That’s actually the next thing I need to report. Ye Qingyi has already made a bold statement. She said she’s bringing Su Mo here to confront the ‘other woman’…”
“Confront the other woman?” Nishimura Koishi sat up abruptly, his voice rising a notch. Then, realization dawned. “Ah, a love triangle showdown! I’d love to see that…”
“This subordinate also has one more matter to report.”
“Speak.”
“Members of the Hundred Immortals Sect have been found in multiple locations across the country. There are far more of them than usual. There might be some conspiracy.”
“Has any Celestial Immortal appeared?”
“Yes, Ya Xian. And last time he appeared was in Tokyo.”
Nishimura Koishi lay back down, his expression thoughtful. “Pass down the order: try not to provoke them as much as possible. If they make any major moves, report to me immediately.”
“Yes!”
After the reporter left, Nishimura Koishi stood up and said to the three young beauties behind him, “You are very beautiful, and your skills are excellent. It would be a shame to kill you. How about cutting out your tongues instead? It won’t affect your beauty, and it’ll prevent any secrets from being leaked.”
Hearing this, the three were terrified. They hadn’t expected to suffer such a cruel punishment on their very first day. They immediately fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
Nishimura Koishi remained perfectly calm. He slowly picked up the dagger that had been placed on the coffee table, stepped closer, and grabbed the first girl by the hair.
Piercing screams echoed through the villa but were blocked by the magical formation outside, unable to travel far.
Then came the second, and the third.
…
…
One day earlier.
Star Island.
“Su Mo” stood outside the airport, holding a bouquet of flowers, waiting. Quite a few young girls had gathered nearby to watch.
“Who’s he waiting for? Could it be Rin Chiba?”
“Impossible. Isn’t Rin Chiba off on a secret mission? Is she coming back?”
“If that bitch comes back, our brother will end up fooling around with her again. Then we’ll be lucky to even see him.”
“Right, Rin Chiba is such a bitch!”
“Bitch…”
“Bitch…”
One comment sparked a wave, and the word “bitch” spread rapidly through “Brother Su Mo’s” fan group.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Look! That girl is so beautiful!”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the beautiful girl. Immediately, someone covered their mouth and gasped, “It’s Ye Qingyi, it’s Ye Qingyi! Our brother’s ex-girlfriend!!!”
The fan group looked like they were facing a great enemy, each one on high alert, as if ready to charge into battle.
But when everyone got a clear look at their brother’s ex-girlfriend, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority. It seemed the only one who could truly match their brother was either her or… themselves…
Holding flowers, “Ye Qingyi” looked at the “ex-girlfriend” walking towards her, her feelings a complex mix.
Just last night, Ye Qingyu had suddenly and secretly arrived on Star Island, saying she wanted to put on a big show. She had also borrowed Su Mo’s White Jade Ring.
Now, it seemed that “he,” the “two-timing scumbag,” was about to face the music.
She adjusted her emotions and stepped forward, using a tone that was seventy percent delighted and thirty percent guilty, saying, “Qingyi, you’re finally here. I missed you so much.”
As she spoke, she opened her arms for a hug. But to her surprise, the “Ye Qingyi” across from her ignored the embrace completely and instead delivered a loud slap, instantly silencing the onlookers’ cheers and gasps.
“You scumbag! I’ve only been gone a short while, and you’re already chasing after other girls? And what about that vixen? Why isn’t she with you?”
“Su Mo” tried to defend himself. “Qingyi, listen to me. There are people around. Give me some face…”
“Ye Qingyi” didn’t care about any of that. Like an angry little tiger, she grabbed “Su Mo” by the collar and demanded to be taken to confront the “other woman.”
And so, pushing and shoving, the two of them made their way to “Su Mo’s” residence.
The onlookers followed the whole way. There were even “atmosphere group” and “live-streaming group” members stirring things up:
“Family, send the gifts!”
“Thanks for the fireworks, bro!”
“Awesome, big spender! Thanks for the spaceship! I’m gonna howl for you, big spender! Ahwoo~ ahwoo~”
Those in the know understood they were watching the drama unfold. Those who didn’t might have thought it was some kind of variety show gala.
“Look, they’re going inside!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, “Su Mo” suddenly wrapped his arm around his ex-girlfriend’s waist. With an incredibly dominant princess carry and an intense, loving gaze, he instantly conquered her.
“Ye Qingyi,” like a little lamb, was carried inside by “Su Mo,” leaving plenty of room for wild speculation.
For a moment, someone’s live stream chat exploded.

Damn, this guy deserves to die! Cheating on a girl this beautiful? As a man, I feel so bad for her. She’d be better off coming to my place, I’d spoil her rotten.
[SocietySaysBro]
Aaaaah! Unforgivable! How could he just carry her inside like that?
[PureLittleJuniorSis]
Streamer, follow them in! Hurry! I want to see!
[YoungAtHeartOldMonk]
A bunch of vulgar people, obsessed with worldly affairs. In my opinion, you’d all be better off entering the monastery and leaving the noisy mortal world behind with me for a life of carefree bliss. (Note: Only accepting female disciples aged 25-35.)

@YoungAtHeartOldMonk That looks criminal to me. [Teacher Luo red-eye特效]

…
Inside the room.
“What are you still holding me for? Put me down.” Ye Qingyu said, exasperated.
Ye Qingyi blinked her big eyes. “Sis, how come holding you feels even more exciting than holding my own body!”
Ye Qingyu’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Well, I am your big sister. In a few more years…”
She had meant to say, “In a few more years, you’ll catch up to me,” but the words died on her lips as she suddenly realized that even if a hundred years passed, as long as their souls weren’t swapped back, she would never catch up.
Su Mo, on the other hand, might have a chance…
