The two of them laughed and played around until Qin Kai suddenly called.

“Dad, why are you calling me so late?” Qin Yunhan paused their fun to answer the phone.

“Yunhan, why are you still at school? Why not come back to the villa?” Qin Kai asked.

After Xiao Yifeng went missing, Qin Kai had searched for him for days without success. He eventually concluded that Xiao Yifeng likely left because he felt he’d failed to protect them. After all, with Xiao Yifeng’s skills, who could have possibly captured him?

“The villa feels tainted since someone else lived there, so I won’t go back,” Qin Yunhan pouted. Xiao Yifeng had stayed there, and Qin Yunhan couldn’t imagine returning. She didn’t even want the clothes left there, suspecting that Xiao Yifeng might have touched them.

“Should I buy another villa close to the school for you?” Qin Kai suggested.

“No need, I’ll just stay at the school. It’s not like I’ll be here forever, so there’s no need to waste money,” Qin Yunhan declined.

Qin Kai was surprised. His usually pampered daughter was thinking about saving money?

In truth, Qin Yunhan preferred staying at school because it meant more time with Wang Haoran. She could ask him to tutor her in the evenings, which felt quite romantic. If she lived at the villa, Uncle Li would be driving her daily, and Qin Kai might visit more often, making things inconvenient.

Mu Zhaozhao, the third roommate, wouldn’t be an issue either. Qin Yunhan could easily persuade her to go home before inviting Wang Haoran over, especially since Mu Zhaozhao’s home was nearby.

“Alright, let me know if you change your mind. If you need anything…” Qin Kai began another one of his lectures about taking care of herself.

“Okay, okay, you’re so nagging. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up,” Qin Yunhan interrupted impatiently.

“Alright, I won’t disturb your rest,” Qin Kai replied with a gentle tone.

Qin Yunhan hung up and tossed the phone aside.

“Yunhan, your attitude wasn’t great. You shouldn’t talk to Uncle Qin like that,” Mu Zhaozhao, having overheard the conversation, remarked.

“My attitude’s always been like this, so what? Is there a problem?” Qin Yunhan didn’t see any issues.

“Not really, but I do worry about your future husband. With your temper, he’ll probably have a hard time,” Mu Zhaozhao sighed.

“I can be gentle and sweet too, alright?!” Qin Yunhan defended herself.

“Yunhan, I’ve known you for over ten years. You think I would believe that?” Mu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes.

“Fine, don’t believe it,” Qin Yunhan said, throwing a handful of clothes at Mu Zhaozhao. “Go shower so I can go after you!”

“Ah, finally I can relax,” Mu Zhaozhao chuckled, heading to the shower.

Checking the time, Qin Yunhan decided to set aside her unfinished homework. She picked up a half-eaten papaya, enjoying it as she thought about improving her figure. If she became a bit more perfect, maybe he would like her even more, she mused happily.

Just then, her phone rang again. It was Wang Haoran.

“I was just thinking about you, and you called. Isn’t this what they call telepathy?” Qin Yunhan said with a smile.

“Isn’t Mu Zhaozhao with you?” Wang Haoran asked, detecting the sweetness in her tone.

“She’s in the shower, so no,” Qin Yunhan hadn’t yet told her friend about Wang Haoran.

“I need to deal with something and want to use the name of the Qin Group’s young lady,” Wang Haoran said.

“Sure,” Qin Yunhan agreed without hesitation.

“You’re not even going to ask why? Aren’t you worried I might take advantage?”

“Would you?” Qin Yunhan giggled.

“I wouldn’t,” Wang Haoran said confidently. Qin Yunhan was beautiful, the sole heir to a billion-dollar group, and deeply devoted to him. Only a fool would take advantage of her negatively.

“Then it’s settled.”

“It’s late; get some rest. Let’s talk later.”

“But I still want to keep talking to you,” Qin Yunhan pouted.

“Sleeping early is good for your skin. Be good and rest.”

“Okay, goodnight. Love you!” Qin Yunhan said, making a heart gesture. If Mu Zhaozhao saw this sweet side of her, she might think something was off.

“Goodnight, love you too.”

After ending the call, Wang Haoran checked his attribute panel. To his surprise, his villain points had reached 12,000. Using these points would give him 24 years of cultivation, boosting his combat power by 1080.

Wang Haoran’s current combat power was 1099. He didn’t need to use all his points to exceed 2000 in combat power. Su Lang’s normal state had a combat power of 1000, and with the War God’s Fury, it would be at most 1200.

Wang Haoran spent only 3,000 villain points for 6 years of cultivation, raising his combat power to 1369. This was enough to overpower Su Lang in a normal fight, so further enhancement wasn’t necessary. The Invincible War God skill was powerful, allowing invincibility for an hour during a fatal strike and a one-hit kill state.

For now, a combat power of 1369 was sufficient for Wang Haoran. Although the Invincible War God was formidable, it was a passive skill, and Wang Haoran retained control.

Wang Haoran had two strategies. The first involved assassinating Su Lang to trigger his Invincible War God passive skill and then defeat him when it was on cooldown. This approach was risky since Wang Haoran wasn’t sure he could evade Su Lang afterward during his invincible state.

The second strategy was safer, like boiling a frog in warm water. He could gradually work to reduce Su Lang’s protagonist halo points to zero, causing the halo to shatter naturally. Without the protagonist halo, Su Lang wouldn’t be much of a threat. Dealing with him would then be easy.

Wang Haoran preferred the slow but safe method. The key was targeting the female lead, Yang Jingwan, and other vital characters in the protagonist’s circle, like Ma Hongsheng. Among them, Yang Jingwan was crucial, and she warranted more attention from him.
