That evening.
The Tianlong Exchange had effectively ended.
Nobody cared about trading anymore.
Every conversation concerned the Dragon Vein collapse.
The golden pillar.
The dragon roar.
And Shen Tian’s breakthrough.
The Shen convoy prepared to leave.
Shen Tian stood beside the vehicle.
Then...
He noticed something.
Too many women.
Again.
Chi Lingxi was already getting inside.
Rose stood beside the door.
Tang Meilin was talking to Gu Qingya.
Chu Zijin waited.
Lin Yue checked messages from the hospital.
Then...
Mu Qingqing stood nearby.
Ji Xuan beside her.
Luo Xiaoyu too.
Shen Tian looked at them.
They looked at him.
Silence.
"What?"
Mu Qingqing crossed her arms.
"Our families’ vehicles left earlier."
Shen Tian stared.
"Without you?"
Ji Xuan smiled awkwardly.
"There was confusion after the mountain collapsed."
Luo Xiaoyu added...
"And our elders assumed we were traveling together."
Shen Tian looked toward the enormous convoy.
Then...
Back.
"Fine."
Mu Qingqing blinked.
"Fine?"
"You need a ride."
"Yes."
"So get in."
Silence.
Mu Qingqing stared.
Then...
Her cheeks warmed slightly.
"Thank you."
Shen Tian nodded.
Rose leaned against the vehicle.
Watching.
Then...
She smiled.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You’re doing the thing."
"What thing?"
"The smile."
Rose’s smile widened.
"Maybe I’m confused."
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
He laughed.
"You’re never letting that go."
"No."
Chi Lingxi leaned out from inside the vehicle.
"Are we leaving?"
"Yes."
Then...
She saw Mu Qingqing.
Ji Xuan.
Luo Xiaoyu.
Her eyebrow rose.
"Again?"
Shen Tian sighed.
"They need a ride."
Chi Lingxi looked at him.
Then...
At them.
Then...
Back.
"Of course."
Mu Qingqing immediately became red.
"It’s actually true!"
Rose laughed.
Tang Meilin covered her mouth.
Gu Qingya smiled.
Chu Zijin whispered...
"That’s what makes it funnier."
. . .
Inside the vehicle...
The seating problem returned.
Shen Tian stared at the packed interior.
Then...
At the women.
"No."
Rose blinked innocently.
"What?"
"I’m taking the front seat."
Silence.
Chi Lingxi immediately grabbed his sleeve.
"No."
"Why?"
"You’re sitting here."
She pointed beside herself.
Rose pointed at the other side.
"Agreed."
Tang Meilin nodded.
Shen Tian looked toward Gu Qingya.
She calmly entered.
"No help."
Lin Yue followed.
"None."
Chu Zijin smiled.
"Sit."
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
At Xu Ning.
[Host.]
"What?"
[Mobile harem headquarters.]
He sighed.
"You’ve been waiting all day to say that again."
[Yes.]
Shen Tian sat.
Immediately...
Chi Lingxi claimed his right side.
Rose claimed his left.
Tang Meilin sat across.
Gu Qingya beside her.
Chu Zijin squeezed beside Lin Yue.
Mu Qingqing.
Ji Xuan.
Luo Xiaoyu.
All inside.
Shen Tian looked around.
"This vehicle has occupancy laws."
Gu Qingya raised an eyebrow.
"Your family owns the manufacturer."
"That doesn’t change physics."
Rose smiled.
"Buy a bigger one."
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
"Fine."
Tang Meilin laughed.
"You’re actually going to?"
"Apparently I need a bus."
Chi Lingxi hugged his arm.
"A luxury bus."
Rose nodded.
"Obviously."
Chu Zijin raised her hand.
"Karaoke."
Shen Tian slowly looked toward her.
She smiled.
"If we’re getting a bus."
Gu Qingya sighed.
"We are not installing karaoke in a vehicle."
Chu Zijin looked offended.
"Why?"
"Because some of us value silence."
"You liked my performance."
"That’s different."
Shen Tian leaned back.
Then...
Xu Ning appeared.
[Host.]
"What?"
[You know...]
A system panel opened.
System Private Island
Still available
Shen Tian stared.
Private beach.
Training grounds.
Medical center.
School facilities.
Security network.
Karaoke building.
He looked toward Chu Zijin.
Then...
Lin Yue.
Then...
Chi Lingxi.
Then the others.
Xu Ning smiled.
[Five million Villain Points.]
Shen Tian stared.
[You have five million.]
"You’re trying to sell me an island."
[I am your system.]
"You’re a real estate agent."
Xu Ning crossed her arms.
[It has missile defense.]
Shen Tian paused.
"...That’s a strong argument."
[And karaoke.]
He looked toward Chu Zijin.
She was arguing with Gu Qingya about putting a microphone in the
vehicle.
Shen Tian sighed.
"Buy it."
Xu Ning froze.
[Seriously?]
"Before she installs speakers in my car."
Xu Ning’s eyes widened.
Then...
She smiled.
[Purchase confirmed.]
5,000,000 Villain Points deducted
System Private Island acquired
Ownership documentation generating
Global legal registration adjusting
Security systems activating
Island location added to Host navigation
Shen Tian stared at the panel.
Then...
Xu Ning added casually...
[It also has twelve luxury villas.]
He looked around the vehicle.
"...Twelve?"
[Yes.]
Shen Tian became suspicious.
"Why twelve?"
Xu Ning smiled.
[No reason.]
His eyes narrowed.
. . .
Across the city...
Qin Hao sat in his own vehicle.
Han Yuer beside him.
He stared out the window.
Quiet.
Then...
His system opened.
Tianlong Mountain Event concluded
Host gains
Survival reward: 80,000 Villain Points
Dragon Meridian Pearl: Failed
Historical Fate Fragment acquisition: Failed
Public Reputation Mission: Declined
Current Fate Value: 681,400
Qin Hao stared.
A loss overall.
But...
Not catastrophic.
He was alive.
More importantly...
He had learned something.
Shen Tian had become far stronger.
And his method was clearer now.
He didn’t merely steal protagonist opportunities.
He redirected them.
To himself.
To people around him.
To heroines.
Then harvested the resulting Fate collapse.
Qin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
I can’t compete with him directly.
Han Yuer heard.
She looked toward him.
Not yet.
His system remained silent.
Qin Hao continued thinking.
So stop playing his game.
Han Yuer’s expression became curious.
Chen Mo is still weak.
Her expression changed slightly.
Qin Hao looked toward the city lights.
Shen Tian is watching all of us.
Fine.
Let him.
His lips curved.
I’ll hunt Chen Mo first.
Han Yuer’s eyes narrowed.
Then...
Qin Hao thought something else.
But not through his women.
Her expression softened slightly.
He remembered Shen Tian’s boundary.
People choose.
Families stay out of it.
Qin Hao wasn’t stupid enough to cross that line.
Opportunities.
Businesses.
Inheritance.
Reputation.
Fate.
His smile widened.
I’ll strip Chen Mo clean before Shen Tian can.
Han Yuer listened.
Then...
She sighed.
Qin Hao looked at her.
"What?"
"Nothing."
He stared.
She smiled.
"Just thinking you’re about to do something troublesome."
Qin Hao’s eyebrow rose.
"How would you know?"
Han Yuer smiled sweetly.
"No reason."
Qin Hao stared.
Then...
Remembered.
His face fell.
"Right."
Han Yuer laughed.
. . .
Elsewhere...
Chen Mo stood alone on a rooftop.
City lights stretched beneath him.
His Fate had fallen again.
His opportunities had been taken.
The Dragon Meridian Pearl...
Gone.
The hidden Dragon inheritance...
Gone.
Mu Qingqing...
Had left with Shen Tian.
Ji Xuan.
Luo Xiaoyu.
All three.
He closed his eyes.
Then...
His phone rang.
Unknown number.
Chen Mo answered.
"Who is this?"
Silence.
Then...
A woman’s voice.
"Chen Mo?"
His eyes opened.
"Yes."
"My name is Chen Xinyi."
Pause.
"I knew your mother."
Chen Mo froze.
The city suddenly felt very quiet.
His grip tightened around the phone.
"What did you say?"
The woman continued.
"If you want to know why she disappeared..."
"...come alone."
Chen Mo’s expression changed.
Then...
She gave him an address.
The call ended.
Silence.
Chen Mo stared at the phone.
Then...
His ancient inheritance pulsed.
Something was beginning.
A route untouched by Qin Hao.
Untouched by Adrian.
Untouched by Shen Tian.
His mother’s mystery.
His hidden family.
His bloodline.
His true identity.
Chen Mo’s eyes sharpened.
Finally.
Something that belonged to him.
Something nobody else knew about.
. . .
At that exact moment...
Inside Shen Tian’s vehicle...
Xu Ning opened a panel.
[Host.]
Shen Tian looked away from Chi Lingxi, who had fallen asleep against his
shoulder.
"What?"
Xu Ning’s expression became amused.
[A new Fate route just activated.]
His green eyes sharpened.
"Whose?"
[Chen Mo.]
A panel appeared.
Major Protagonist Route Activated
Hidden Heir Awakening
Chen Mo maternal bloodline mystery
Estimated route value: 94,000 Fate
Shen Tian smiled.
Xu Ning stared.
[You aren’t going tonight.]
It wasn’t a question.
"No."
[Why?]
Shen Tian looked around.
Chi Lingxi asleep against him.
Rose had somehow fallen asleep against his other shoulder.
Tang Meilin was fighting sleep across from him.
Gu Qingya was reading something on her tablet.
Chu Zijin had headphones on.
Lin Yue was answering hospital messages.
Mu Qingqing, Ji Xuan and Luo Xiaoyu were quietly talking.
Then...
Shen Tian looked out the window.
"Let him have it."
Xu Ning froze.
[What?]
"Let Chen Mo grow."
[Host.]
"He lost today."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Qin Hao is going to hunt him."
"Adrian will interfere if his system finds something useful."
"And now Chen Mo has a ninety four thousand Fate route."
Xu Ning slowly understood.
[You want them to fight.]
"Of course."
[And then?]
Shen Tian’s green eyes reflected the city lights.
"Then I take it from whoever wins."
Xu Ning stared.
Then...
She smiled.
[That...]
[Was extremely villainous.]
Shen Tian leaned back.
Rose shifted in her sleep.
Her head settled more comfortably against him.
Chi Lingxi tightened her arms around his.
Shen Tian looked at both sides.
Then...
At Xu Ning.
"Multitasking."
Xu Ning covered her face.
[There it is.]
Outside...
The city continued glowing.
Chen Mo believed he had finally found a route nobody knew.
Qin Hao believed he had found a strategy Shen Tian couldn’t counter.
Adrian was already receiving a new system mission.
Three protagonists.
Three paths.
Three plans.
And none of them realized...
Shen Tian wasn’t chasing anymore.
He was going home.
With the women beside him.
To enjoy the rewards he’d already taken.
To consolidate his new realm.
To strengthen his harem.
To visit the island he’d just purchased.
And to wait.
Because the best protagonists...
Were the ones allowed to grow before harvest.
Shen Tian closed his eyes.
His smile remained.
The next round...
Could come to him.
