Chapter 51: The "Traces" Left by That Woman Caused a School-Wide Uproar

The morning sunlight through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Imperial Capital First Sanatorium's special care ward wasn't blinding; instead, it carried a warm, lazy feeling.

The air was filled with an ambiguous scent, a mix of mellow red wine and some high-end perfume.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't immediately stretch as usual. Instead, he subconsciously reached out to the side of the bed.

It was empty.

His fingertips touched only the silk bedsheets, which still held some residual warmth. That delicate sensation seemed to remind him that everything that happened last night wasn't a dream.

On the nightstand, that expensive bottle of red wine was empty. Beside it lay a black-gold card and a note.

The handwriting was elegant yet carried a hint of overbearing power:

"Little rascal, Big Sister is going to deal with the Wang Family's mess. There's a billion in pocket money in the card; the password is your birthday. Also... last night's performance was barely a passing grade. —Manyu."

"Barely a passing grade?"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched. The faint ache from his waist made him unable to resist grumbling, "She was clearly the one begging for mercy... That woman's mouth is tougher than her body right now."

He sat up, the quilt sliding down to reveal his lean and strong upper body.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but after last night's special "Dual Cultivation," a faint treasure-like glow seemed to flow over the surface of his skin, and his muscle lines were even smoother, as if they contained explosive power.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a high-quality sleep (including special interaction).】

【Detected sleep companion: Su Manyu (Daughter of Luck, Black Market Queen).】

【Target Rating: S-grade (Extremely Dangerous/Extremely Charming).】

【Rewards: Physique Strengthening +30%, Mental Energy recovery speed doubled, obtained passive skill "Prosperity" (this skill increases the probability of picking up treasures in the wild).】

【Current Realm: Sixth Level of the Organ Refining Realm (Stable).】

"Prosperity?" Jiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This "soft rice" was so good that even the System had become materialistic.

However, the Sixth Level of the Organ Refining Realm.

In just one night, his Realm—which had been a bit unstable due to leapfrogging to kill a Peak Grandmaster—was now not only completely stable but even showed signs of a Breakthrough toward the Seventh Level.

Su Manyu's "rich woman" attribute really wasn't just reflected in money; even the Primordial Yin Qi she provided was so immense.

After a simple wash, Jiang Chen put on his simple casual clothes.

As soon as he pushed open the ward door, a wave of noisy clamor rushed toward him.

"Look! He's out! The Sleep God is out!"

"Is that Jiang Chen? I heard he slept a Peak Grandmaster to death?"

"Shh! Quiet! That's the fierce person who could even slap the Wang Family Grand Elder to death. Do you want to die?"

Outside the sanatorium, it was actually crowded with people.

Not just students from Imperial Capital Martial Arts University, but also media reporters from various outlets, and even many Martial Artists who had rushed from other schools to "pay homage."

Since that battle three days ago, the name Jiang Chen had completely set the entire Imperial Capital ablaze.

"Getting stronger while sleeping," "Killing in dreams," "The man behind the Empress"... Various labels were stuck on him, making him a presence more dazzling than a top-tier celebrity.

Jiang Chen frowned, instinctively wanting to go back and take another nap.

But just then, a familiar figure parted the crowd and walked over hurriedly.

It was Little Fatty Chen.

This guy was sweating profusely now, looking anxious, and holding a tablet in his hand.

"Brother Chen! My dear brother! You're finally awake!"

Little Fatty Chen rushed over and grabbed Jiang Chen's arm as if he had seen a savior. "Something big has happened! If you didn't come out, our school would be overturned by those 'transfer students'!"

"Transfer students?" Jiang Chen yawned and asked lazily, "What kind of transfer students could make you panic like this?"

"It's the people from the God of War Training Camp!"

Little Fatty Chen lowered his voice, his tone carrying unconcealable terror. "Because the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield is about to open, the higher-ups decided to integrate resources. While you were sleeping these past few days, a team of geniuses from the military's 'War God Reserve Corps' transferred to our school. These guys are incredibly arrogant, saying they want to take over command of our first-year students. They're setting up a challenge stage in the Martial Arts Arena! The Great School Beauty Su Qingyue has already gone up to hold them off for a while, but it seems... she's about to reach her limit."

Hearing the three words "Su Qingyue," Jiang Chen's half-closed eyes slightly opened a crack.

Since when could his exclusive body pillow be bullied by others?

In that instant, Little Fatty Chen felt the surrounding temperature drop by over ten degrees.

"Taking over command?"

Jiang Chen cracked his neck, making a series of popping sounds.

He remembered the new mission the System had issued. Since he had to go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to capture that Beast Clan Saintess, he definitely needed an obedient team.

Since when was it an outsider's turn to run wild on his turf?

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen walked out with his hands in his pockets. His steps seemed slow, but each one covered several meters.

"Let's go see what kind of riff-raff is disturbing someone's peaceful dreams in broad daylight."
