Chapter 321: The World is Spinning!
As Shen Anyu clapped his hands, the air in the living room seemed to shift.
Two tall, robust, and stern-faced middle-aged maids stepped out from the shadows of the hallway.
They were imposing figures, standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, with arms as thick as tree trunks and muscles that rippled under their uniforms.
They rubbed their calloused hands together and forced out the "kindest" possible smiles at the petite Ye Linyuan.
"Young Master, don't worry. We'll help you!"
Their voices were deep and resonant, like grinding gravel.
Ye Linyuan was dumbfounded. He looked up—way up—at the two muscular, sinewy middle-aged maids who seemed straight out of JOJO's Bizarre Adventure or Fist of the North Star. The visual impact was terrifying.
"No, no, no! I can do it myself! I really can do it myself..."
Ye Linyuan waved his hands repeatedly, retreating backward in genuine panic. As the former Sword Palace Master, he had faced armies and demons, but he had never faced... this.
But the next moment, Ye Linyuan felt the world spin.
Whoosh!
He was hoisted into the air effortlessly, held upside down by his ankle like a captured chicken by one of the middle-aged maids.
She grinned, revealing white teeth, and said with a "kind" expression that looked more like a threat:
"Young Master, don't be shy. The Master ordered us to take good care of you. We are professionals at scrubbing backs!"
Ye Linyuan almost wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood. The blood rushed to his head, making him dizzy. He desperately raised his head, flailing his short limbs, ready to call out to his Seventh Senior Sister Yang Luoluo for help.
"Senior Sister! Save m—!"
Mmph!
The next moment, he was clamped under the armpit of the other maid like a roll of carpet, almost losing his breath. The smell of strong detergent and raw muscle overwhelmed him.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's mindset has collapsed!]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +9,999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's attempt to approach the Destined Heroine (bath event) was thwarted!]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +19,999 Destiny Value!]
...
"Pfft..."
Watching her "Junior Brother" Ye Linyuan being carried away like a sack of potatoes by the two iron-tower-like maids, with a look of utter despair and hopelessness on his face, Yang Luoluo couldn't hold it back.
She covered her mouth with her small hand and let out a chuckle, her shoulders shaking with laughter. The tension of the reunion dissipated instantly.
Shen Anyu also smiled, standing beside her with the elegance of a noble watching a comedy. Then, he turned his eyes to scrutinize Yang Luoluo.
His gaze gradually deepened.
This little disciple's figure was truly extraordinary. Although she looked young and had a baby face, her curves were explosively developed—a true "hidden dragon." He had already experienced the elasticity of her skin when he helped her with massages before, but seeing her trembling with laughter now, the visual impact was even stronger.
No wonder Ye Linyuan wanted to take advantage of Yang Luoluo the moment they met, Shen Anyu thought, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes. That kid's "Loli" radar is sharp.
However, with Shen Anyu around, Ye Linyuan would never succeed in this life. He wouldn't even get to touch a finger.
Yang Luoluo noticed Shen Anyu's scrutinizing gaze. It felt hot, like a physical touch. Her laughter stopped, and her small face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and stammered:
"Master Brother... I've caused you trouble again. Thank you for taking in Junior Brother Ye Linyuan. He... he's a bit mischievous."
Shen Anyu shook his head. A gentle, spring-breeze-like smile appeared on his handsome face as he stepped closer, invading her personal space just enough to make her heart race.
"What's our relationship? Why be so formal?"
He reached out and patted her head naturally.
"It's no trouble at all. We have many servants at the Shen family home, and one more mouth to feed—that of Little Yuanzi—makes no difference. It's just adding a pair of chopsticks."
"However..." Shen Anyu paused, his expression turning slightly serious and hesitant. "There's something I'd like to say, though I'm not sure if I should..."
Seeing Shen Anyu's words come to an abrupt halt, Yang Luoluo became curious and pressed him, blinking her big innocent eyes:
"Master Brother, however what? Please say it. Luo Luo certainly won't mind whatever you say."
Shen Anyu sighed softly, looking at the direction where Ye Linyuan disappeared, and said meaningfully:
"That little fellow... he's a cunning one for his age. He's probably not honest. Just now, he clearly intended for you to bathe him personally to take advantage of you. You must be careful."
"Men understand men best. Even if he's young, his eyes... were not pure."
What?
Yang Luoluo's eyes widened at his words. She was surprised and a bit shocked.
Junior Brother Ye Linyuan looks only a few years old... yet he harbored such intentions?
Ideally, she might have defended her Junior Brother, but the accuser was Shen Anyu—her perfect, handsome, and rich Master Brother who had saved her countless times. Between a mischievous kid she hadn't seen in years and Shen Anyu, the scale tipped instantly.
Moreover, seeing Shen Anyu's serious and seemingly jealous expression, Yang Luoluo felt a secret thrill in her heart.
Is Master Brother... worried about me being taken advantage of?
She felt a burst of sweetness and said obediently:
"Mhm, mhm! Master Brother is right. Luo Luo will definitely be careful. I'll keep my distance from him!"
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's favorability +1.]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +3,000 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's impression in Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's heart has worsened significantly!]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +29,999 Destiny Value!]
...
Shen Anyu was in a good mood.
Although Ye Linyuan had the "Protagonist's Halo," which usually made Yang Luoluo and her Senior Sisters naturally trust and spoil him unconditionally, Shen Anyu possessed the [Destiny Villain Halo] to suppress it. Plus, he had struck first.
Now, Yang Luoluo's favorability towards Shen Anyu had reached over eighty—bordering on eighty-nine. She naturally trusted Shen Anyu far more than a "brother" she barely remembered.
Shen Anyu looked at his female disciple Yang Luoluo, who was smiling like a flower before him, and calculated internally.
I should quickly raise her favorability to ninety.
Ninety was a huge threshold. It signified a life-and-death relationship, where she would entrust her life—and body—to him without hesitation. And crucially, once favorability reached ninety or above, he could use the [Love Infinite Teleport] skill to teleport to her side instantly at any time.
From eighty to ninety, gaining one point of favorability was harder than gaining ten points in the early stages. It required a catalyst.
"Luo Luo, it just so happens I'm free today. The weather is nice, and the atmosphere is right."
Shen Anyu's voice dropped an octave, becoming magnetic and alluring.
"I'll continue to give you massages and clear your meridians using my internal Qi. This way, your future cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Hearing Shen Anyu's words, Yang Luoluo was immediately overjoyed. Her eyes lit up.
"Really? Thank you, Master Brother!"
She remembered the last session. Although it was... embarrassing... it was incredibly comfortable, and her cultivation truly improved.
Immediately after, the two went to Yang Luoluo's bedroom.
The room was decorated in soft pinks and whites, filled with the scent of girls—a mix of milk and sweet jasmine.
Shen Anyu closed the door behind them. Click.
The sound of the lock engaging made Yang Luoluo's heart skip a beat. She stood by the bed, suddenly hesitating. A few charming blushes appeared on her small face, spreading to her neck.
"Master Brother..."
Shen Anyu smiled at Yang Luoluo, his gaze warm and encouraging.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Luoluo bit her lip, her face flushed red, and whispered:
"Second Senior Sister (Liu Ruyan)... she called me recently. She told me to be mindful of boundaries with you. She said... she said not to be too intimate because men are wolves."
Shen Anyu smiled outwardly, keeping his expression perfect.
But in his heart, he sneered. Oh, you, Liu Ruyan. Trying to cause trouble for me from afar? Just you wait. Next time I see you, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees.
However, on the surface, Shen Anyu still smiled kindly and warmly. He walked over, placing his hands on Yang Luoluo's shoulders, looking deep into her eyes.
"Luo Luo, look at me."
"We have a very pure Master-disciple relationship. My conscience is clear. Don't listen to your Second Senior Sister's nonsense—she just worries too much."
"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm helping you clear your meridians for the sake of your cultivation foundation."
He channeled a bit of his warm, pure Yang energy into her shoulders, making her body soften instantly.
"Although you have already reached the Realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster, the gap between Grandmaster and 'Heavenly Human Unity' is like a chasm. It will be very difficult to break through alone."
"With Master Brother helping you guide the Qi, you will be able to proceed more smoothly. Do you want to be stuck at this bottleneck forever?"
"Luo Luo... do you not trust Master Brother?"
His voice was filled with a hint of hurt, as if her hesitation wounded him deeply.
Hearing Shen Anyu's words and seeing his "hurt" expression, Yang Luoluo panicked. Guilt washed over her.
She shook her head repeatedly, her ponytail swaying.
"No! How could that be? Luo Luo definitely trusts Master Brother! Master Brother is the best person in the world!"
"Then lie down."
"Mhm."
Yang Luoluo obediently lay down on the soft bed, burying her face in the pillow to hide her burning cheeks. Her body was tense, waiting.
Shen Anyu sat beside her. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms.
His hands, coated in scorching internal energy, landed on her back.
"Ah..."
A soft, involuntary gasp escaped Yang Luoluo's throat.
Shen Anyu's technique was masterful. He didn't just press muscles; he targeted the acupuncture points with precision. His Qi penetrated her skin like warm water, flowing into her meridians, washing away impurities and fatigue.
But it was also intense.
The heat was searing. Every time his thumb pressed down on a meridian point along her spine, a jolt of bio-electricity shot through her nervous system, making her toes curl and her body tremble.
"Relax, Luo Luo. Don't be tense, or the Qi won't flow."
"I... I can't... It feels... strange..."
Yang Luoluo grabbed the bedsheets tightly, her knuckles turning white. The sensation hovered on the thin line between pain and immense pleasure. It felt like ants were crawling through her veins, itching and burning in a way that made her want to cry out.
Shen Anyu's hands moved lower, to her waist—the "Belt Meridian" (Dai Mai). This was a sensitive area for any martial artist.
"忍 (Endure) a little. This blockage is stubborn."
He pressed down firmly.
"Nngh!~"
Yang Luoluo bit the pillow, a whimper escaping her lips. Her entire body arched like a drawn bow. Sweat began to bead on her forehead, soaking her bangs. Her face was flushed a deep crimson, resembling a ripe peach ready to burst.
The room was filled with the sound of her ragged breathing and the friction of skin against fabric.
Shen Anyu worked methodically, his expression serious as if he were performing surgery, but his eyes were dark with satisfaction. He could feel her resistance crumbling, her trust deepening with every touch.
A long time later.
Shen Anyu finally retracted his hands, exhaling a long breath.
Suddenly looking back, Yang Luoluo, who was weak and limp on the bed, turned her head. Through her hazy, tear-filled eyes, she saw fine beads of sweat seeping from Shen Anyu's forehead.
There was even a misty white vapor rising from the top of his head—a sign that his cultivation had been operating at its peak limit to help her.
A feeling of deep emotion and guilt welled up in her heart.
Master Brother... he used so much True Essence for me...
He looks so tired. And I was suspecting him? I'm so bad!
Master Brother was working too hard for me, boohoohoo... I must repay Master Brother well in the future~
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's favorability +1.]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +3,000 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's heart filled with emotion and guilt.]
[Ding! Plundering successful. Reward: +6,666 Destiny Value!]
Shen Anyu was, of course, faking it.
With his [Divine Steel Body] and vast reserves of Qi, this level of exertion was nothing more than a warmup. He wouldn't easily get tired.
But that didn't stop him from circulating his Qi to force out some sweat and steam to appear very exhausted. It was all part of the "investment."
Meanwhile, in the bathroom downstairs.
Ye Linyuan was filled with humiliation and indignation as he was scrubbed raw by the maids, completely unaware that his beloved Senior Sister was being "cleansed" by the very villain he despised...
