Under the cold moonlight, a narrow alley stretched out before Lu Chen as he made his way back to the campus dorms. His head was lowered, eyes locked on his phone screen, where a fresh bank notification lit up brightly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Five hundred thousand. A full half million yuan. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He had made a batch of one hundred pills, selling every last one to the man with the Ferrari at five thousand apiece. Just a single afternoon of effort, with only a few thousand yuan in raw materials, and he walked away nearly half a million richer. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen felt a bit dazed as he stared at the numbers. It was hard to believe. It felt as if money had suddenly become absurdly easy to earn. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The euphoria crept in slowly, and a grin spread across his face. This five hundred thousand was just the beginning. With all the miraculous prescriptions stored in his mind, there would be far more to come. The “Bed Slayer Pill” was just one of the more basic formulas—he hadn’t even scratched the surface yet. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Beyond the money, another dream stirred in his chest—finding a girlfriend. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He had never dated. Born poor, he accepted a lonely life without complaint. But things were different now. With talent like his, what kind of woman wouldn’t be a good match? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
His thoughts drifted to the school forum posts, where he’d seen the names and photos of three campus belles: Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, and Mu Zhaozhao. All first-year students, all stunning in their own ways. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Which one should he go after first? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
As he pondered, a shadow darted across the dim alleyway. Something on the ground caught his eye—no, not something, someone. A dark figure rushed toward him. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Alarm shot through him. He turned on instinct, but it was already too late. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A burlap sack flared into his vision, swallowing the light. The thick, musty stench of old canvas filled his nose, followed immediately by a sharp blow to the back of the neck. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Darkness fell. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

When Lu Chen awoke, he was disoriented. Pain exploded from below his waist, sharp and consuming, and his limbs twitched uncontrollably. Panic surged through him as he reached downward. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The moment his fingers touched the empty space where something should’ve been, his entire body went stiff. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Like a thunderbolt struck his soul. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

In his villa, Wang Haoran reclined against his bedhead, casually scrolling through his phone when the system notification came in. Just seconds later, his phone rang—Jiang Gaoxuan was calling. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“It’s done, my lord,” came the crisp report. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Well done,” Wang Haoran praised, though a flicker of unease made him ask, “What did you do with the… piece you removed?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
With Lu Chen being a divine doctor, Wang Haoran did not dare rely on traditional poisons—he couldn’t risk him detecting it or curing himself. So he had chosen a more… definitive physical method. But even that wasn’t enough. If the part was preserved, Lu Chen might attempt to reattach it somehow. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Of course I remembered your orders,” Jiang Gaoxuan said proudly. “You told me to get rid of it completely, so after the job, I took it with me. On the way out, I passed by a barking stray dog in a side alley. I tossed it to the mutt—watched it swallow the thing whole.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran blinked, caught between horror and speechlessness. For a moment, he wanted to blurt out You really are something else, but managed to hold onto his villain composure. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
With a cool tone, he offered another compliment. “Very good. I don’t forget those who serve me. If you run into trouble in the future, I’ll take care of it.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Thank you, my lord!” Jiang Gaoxuan’s excitement was palpable. “Then I’ll get back to tailing Xiao Ye.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Go,” Wang Haoran said flatly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Over the past few days, Jiang Gaoxuan had been repeatedly disrupting Xiao Ye’s livestreams. The system rewarded those efforts with a few points—not as much as what he’d gotten from dealing with Yan Yuntian, but still enough to add up over time. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
And besides, Jiang Gaoxuan was free labor. Not using him would be a waste. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
When the call ended, Wang Haoran set the phone aside and leaned back to wait. Soon enough, the doorbell rang. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
It was Feng Anna. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Her engagement with Yan Yuntian had been quietly dissolved. She returned home, reconciled with her parents, and retaken control of her company from her so-called best friend. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The princess of the Feng family had returned to her throne. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But something inside her changed. She no longer belonged to that household. The betrayal had left its mark. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
With her family matters settled, she rushed back to Qingling. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
She had a promise to keep. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Or rather, she didn’t dare break it—not with the price she’d have to pay if she did. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Inside the villa, Feng Anna stood stiffly in the foyer, eyes lowered, not even daring to sit down. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“You once said you were close to Yan Yuntian’s other fiancée,” Wang Haoran began, his tone casual but pointed. “Close enough to influence her thoughts.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Feng Anna’s face went pale. Panic flashed in her eyes. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran narrowed his gaze, sensing something off. “You lied to me?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I didn’t mean to. I had no choice back then,” she said quietly, trembling slightly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
His expression darkened. If it weren’t for the leverage she offered at the time, he might not have helped her at all. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I might not be able to sway her, but I do know her. I can tell you what I know,” she added quickly, sensing his growing irritation. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Speak,” he said coldly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“She’s from the Ning family, one of the top martial clans in Northern Cangzhou. Her name is Ning Aoxue. She’s around my age, with unparalleled talent in martial arts. A few years ago, she had an epiphany and went into closed-door cultivation. No one’s heard from her since. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“As for the engagement with Yan Yuntian—she feels the same as I do. Neither of us wants to have our lives dictated by others. That belief brought us together. We got along well, though we haven’t spoken in a long time.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
She paused, gauging his reaction. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“These are things I could easily find out myself. You think they’re valuable?” he said with a bland expression. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Feng Anna fell silent, then nodded slowly, as if surrendering to her fate. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Do whatever you want with me. I knew what I was walking into when I came here,” she said, closing her eyes like someone bracing for a storm. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran frowned slightly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Do I really look like someone who’s about to devour her whole? Or does she just think her looks are that irresistible? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Sure, he was tempted—but being treated like some beast robbed him of the mood. Besides, her self-sacrificing posture was such a turn-off. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Go mop the floors,” he said suddenly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Feng Anna opened her eyes, startled. “Mop the floors?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I used to hire a cleaner for this place,” he said, turning away. “But now that I’ve got a free pair of hands, you can take care of the chores.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
With that, he walked off to his room, leaving Feng Anna standing in the living room, utterly dumbfounded. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
