But the wolf demon clearly didn't know what pole dancing was. It just started writhing and twisting its body in a bizarre dance.

And the way it moved its claws back and forth looked like…

A ritual sacrifice?

Ye Chuan watched for a while, then waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, what kind of dance is that? You're dismissed."

He could pole dance better himself.

Hearing this, the wolf demon seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and vanished into shadow.

"It's a good thing I went for the Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment. My strength is far greater than this Foundation Establishment wolf demon, and this divine ability is also quite useful," Ye Chuan said, looking at his character information.

From the wolf demon's words and the previous adventure logs, it was clear that it had spent centuries devouring mortals and weaker beings to reach Foundation Establishment.

But even so, it was easily defeated by Ye Chuan.

There was no such thing as inherent power levels; it was all the result of Ye Chuan's diligent spending.

…

Night, deep night.

All was silent.

Moonlight lazily spilled onto the windowsill, like a layer of frost.

Ye Chuan lay in bed, his eyes closed, his breathing steady. The jade pendant on his chest glowed faintly.

The light slowly coalesced, forming the petite figure of Lilith.

Seeing Ye Chuan asleep, Lilith floated down and sat on his stomach, swinging her legs.

"Hmph, what a strange fellow," she said, one hand propping up her chin, a queenly air despite her loli appearance. 

She twirled a strand of hair with her other hand and looked around, her gaze passing through the window and falling on the moon hanging in the sky.

It was a full moon, shining brightly in the cloudless sky.

A magic circle with rotating runes appeared in Lilith's eyes.

"The moon…" Her gaze slowly lowered, falling on the buildings outside, and then she seemed to understand something.

"So it wasn't a spatial distortion… but a temporal one?"

"But which direction?"

"Guthana." Lilith extended her finger, and purple light swirled around it, forming a small purple bird.

She raised her hand, and the bird flapped its wings, flying out the window.

Just as Lilith was about to float up, Ye Chuan, as if sensing something, frowned in his sleep and pulled her into his arms, hugging her like a soft, fragrant cake.

"??!" Lilith struggled, but Ye Chuan's strength held her firmly. She glared at him, her round eyes wide. "Let go, you ignorant fool!"

Ye Chuan didn't react.

"What are you doing with your hands?! When I regain my strength, I'll hang you upside down and beat you, then turn you into a puppet and make you work for me for a hundred years!"

…

…

Morning.

After waking up, Ye Chuan received a call from Wang Yanran.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, senior. Did I wake you?"

"..."

"Senior? Is something wrong?" Seeing Ye Chuan's silence, Wang Yanran asked cautiously.

"Ugh, gargle," Wang Yanran then heard the sound of Ye Chuan rinsing his mouth.

"No, I was brushing my teeth. What's up?" Ye Chuan, remembering that this little rich woman had given him quite a bit of money, said, "Just call me Ye Chuan, 'senior' sounds weird. And how old are you?"

"D," came a hesitant voice from the other end. (TL: Here Ye Chuan says "且你多大?"(Qiě nǐ duōdà?) whitch means "How old are you?" Wang Yanran likely misunderstood it for "请你多大?" (Qǐng nǐ duōdà?) whitch means "How big are you?")

"Your age."

"Ah… twenty."

"So you're older than me, just call me Ye Chuan," Ye Chuan said.

Wang Yanran didn't want to miss the opportunity to get closer to Ye Chuan and immediately said with a smile, 

"Okay, Ye Chuan. My family has prepared the spirit essence, when do you want it?"

"Oh?" Ye Chuan hadn't expected her to be so efficient. It had only been one night.

It seemed the Wang family valued him quite highly, which made him feel a bit more favorably towards them.

Although it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, sincerity was another matter.

"You can bring it to me at school today," Ye Chuan said.

"Okay… and one more thing, we wanted to ask for your opinion," Wang Yanran said, remembering her grandfather's instructions.

"What is it?"

"Every five years, there's a Superpowered Warrior Tournament between the families, where the younger generation competes to determine the family rankings and rewards," Wang Yanran explained.

"Are you interested in representing the Wang family?"

"Five hundred thousand," Ye Chuan immediately named his price, hearing that it was a competition.

It was a competition for the younger generation, so it should be easier than fighting a Level 4 or 5 Ghost King, right?

Those young people were probably not even Level 3.

Probably not even at the early Qi Refining level.

"No problem."

Hearing that Ye Chuan only wanted money, Wang Yanran immediately agreed. For them, money was the easiest problem to solve.

Ye Chuan, hearing her immediate agreement, raised an eyebrow.

Had he asked for too little?

Thinking about it, the Wang family was so sincere, asking for less wouldn't hurt.

Although Ye Chuan loved money, he wasn't completely without principles, especially with such a sincere family.

"These families are really rich. Earning five hundred thousand used to be a dream for me," Ye Chuan sighed after hanging up.

After washing up, Ye Chuan sat down on the edge of his bed.

"Lilith, the spirit essence is almost here. You'll be willing to move in then, right?" he asked, picking up the jade pendant.

The pendant remained silent, no response.

Huh?

Was she asleep?

Ye Chuan was about to lick it.

"Bastard!!!!!" The pendant trembled violently. "Don't do that disgusting thing!"

"So you're awake? Why didn't you answer me earlier?" Ye Chuan shook the pendant.

"Hmph, none of your business!"

"Are you on your period or something? Such a temper," Ye Chuan said. 

He didn't know why Lilith was so easily angered. Had he offended her?

"I am Lilith, the Witch of Wrath."

"Wrath?" Ye Chuan suddenly remembered that Lilith had said she was one of the seven witches. Could it be named after the seven deadly sins?

This little firecracker certainly had a temper, befitting the title of "Witch of Wrath."

But as long as she could produce gold coins and items, Ye Chuan could tolerate it.

And she was an S-Rank tenant, even higher than Bai Qianshuang. Who knew what good things she might produce?

"Look, we've been talking for days now, there's no need for you to stay inside, right?" Ye Chuan said.

Let me see you.

"Hmph, the Soul Crystal has already fused with me, you could say it's my body now, and a soul naturally resides within its body," Lilith said.

Ye Chuan nodded in understanding.

So the jade pendant was Lilith's body?

"Oh, no wonder you reacted so strongly when I licked it," Ye Chuan suddenly felt that he was indeed a bit of a pervert, especially since the pendant was so smooth and… well…

"What are you thinking about, you pervert?"
