Chapter 323: Su Hongmian's Charm! Another Goddess Senior Sister!
Ye Linyuan was completely dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded.
He had just been happy that Little Sister Yang Luoluo and Shen Anyu weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. But he didn't expect to be completely blindsided by the news about Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan immediately after.
From the photos of the goddess Senior Sisters he saw from First Senior Sister Pei Changli, Ye Linyuan had developed a deep infatuation and a strong favorable impression of the enchanting, charming, and captivating beauty, Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan. Her mature allure was the perfect complement to Yang Luoluo's youthful vigor in his imagined harem.
As it turned out, Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan was already Shen Anyu's girlfriend??
"Little Sister, is it fake?"
Ye Linyuan was unwilling to accept the truth. His small face crumpled, and he looked pleadingly at Yang Luoluo, hoping for her to laugh and say it was all a joke.
Yang Luoluo mumbled, avoiding his gaze, kicking the floor tiles lightly with her toe.
"I wish it were fake... no, I mean, it's real, it must be real."
She sighed, her voice tinged with a complex mix of envy and resignation. "Second Senior Sister was here a few days ago. She stayed overnight, and she even slept in the same room as Master Brother."

...
"Slept in the same room..."
Ye Linyuan looked dazed, his mind reeling. The words echoed in his head like a death knell. What did that mean? An adult man and a woman, alone in a room at night?
A peerless beauty as enchanting and charming as Second Senior Sister was someone no man could resist. Shen Anyu was handsome and powerful; he was definitely not a eunuch.
His longed-for beauty, Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan, was no longer pure. His dream of being her first and only love was shattered before it even began.
"No, it can't be! It's possible to sleep in the same room and not do anything! Maybe they just... talked! Or played chess!"
As Ye Linyuan said this, he seemed to believe it himself. His denial was a powerful shield. His mood immediately brightened, fueled by sheer delusion. Yes, Senior Sister is noble and reserved. She wouldn't give herself away so easily.
He shook off the despair and refocused on the prize in front of him. He acted cute and spoiled towards Little Sister Yang Luoluo, widening his eyes to look as innocent as possible.
"Little Sister, I'm afraid of the dark. The shadows look like monsters. I can't sleep alone. Let's sleep together, please?"
Shen Anyu, who was watching this scene through the nanometer monitoring robot from the comfort of his own room, almost burst out laughing. He swirled the wine in his glass, amused by the audacity.
"Good heavens, this Ye Linyuan's shamelessness is even thicker than mine. Shameless, utterly shameless..."
Shen Anyu was also greatly surprised. Although Ye Linyuan looked like a child now due to the curse, he was actually an adult man—the reincarnated Sword Saint Lin Xuanyan. He had only reverted to childhood physically. Mentally, he was a grown man with centuries of memories.
He actually said he was afraid of the dark and wanted to sleep with Yang Luoluo? This was essentially a perverted uncle trying to trick a young girl.
Seeing Yang Luoluo's hesitation, Ye Linyuan's heart rejoiced. He pressed his advantage, his voice taking on a tremble.
"Little Sister, I've been chased by the Martial God Hall people all day. I've seen terrible things. I'm scared and anxious, and I know I'll have nightmares tonight. Can you comfort me? Just for tonight?"
Yang Luoluo saw Ye Linyuan's pitiful, childlike appearance. Her maternal instincts kicked in, and her heart softened. He was just a little boy, after all.
Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly remembered Shen Anyu's earlier reminder.
"That little fellow is cunning. He's probably not honest. Be careful."
Master Brother's words were law. Her expression hardened instantly.
"No way! You little pervert who acts like an adult! Sleep by yourself!"
With that, she slammed the door shut in his face.
Bam!
The sound echoed in the hallway.
Shen Anyu smiled at this. As expected of his good disciple, she was obedient. His brainwashing—ahem, guidance—was effective.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan missed an intimate plotline with the destined heroine, plundering +30,000 Destiny Value.]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan is dejected, plundering +9999 Destiny Value.]
...
Ye Linyuan stood in front of the closed door, stunned. He had been thoroughly rebuffed.
Dejected, he dragged his feet to the guest room. It was a luxurious room, better than any hotel he had stayed in, but to him, it felt like a prison cell.
He climbed onto the large bed, looking small and insignificant. He hugged the light blue checkered quilt, burying his face in it. It smelled of unfamiliar detergent, not the sweet scent of a Senior Sister.
"Cruel... everyone is cruel..." he muttered, falling asleep alone, sorrowful until morning.
Shen Anyu, watching this scene through the nanometer monitoring robot, immediately chuckled. He drained his glass of wine.
"This Ye Linyuan is a treasure, a Treasure Trove of Destiny Value. So much Destiny Value comes in so easily. I should keep him around for a while longer."
Immediately, Shen Anyu withdrew his attention from the pitiful protagonist and looked over at Yang Luoluo's room via the surveillance feed.
Because Shen Anyu had massaged and conditioned her meridians and acupoints earlier to "help her cultivation," Yang Luoluo had broken out in a light, fragrant sweat. She was currently in the bathroom, taking a shower.
Through the frosted glass, he could see her silhouette. She had a cute, energetic baby face with two small dimples that made her look innocent, but her figure was unexpectedly good—toned, athletic, and full of youthful vitality.
Shen Anyu watched for a moment, appreciating the view. However, he had always been a "gentleman" and disliked mere peeping. It was akin to looking at food through a display case; satisfying for the eyes, but not the stomach.
After watching for half an hour, he withdrew his gaze.
Mainly, he had eaten too much beef and mutton recently, which made him feel a bit overheated. His energy was running high, and he needed a release. Yang Luoluo wasn't quite ready yet; her favorability needed a bit more cooking.
Shen Anyu pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and scrolled through his mental list of available heroines.
"Let's visit my little tsundere swordswoman."
He activated [Love Infinite Teleport].
Space blurred.
In an instant, he appeared in Su Hongmian's boudoir.
The room was cool, lit only by the glow of a high-end gaming monitor. Posters of anime characters and sword arts adorned the walls.
Su Hongmian, this tsundere young lady, was currently wearing oversized cat-ear headphones and playing Black Myth: Wukong on her computer. She was dressed in a loose silk nightgown that slipped off one shoulder, revealing creamy white skin.
She was fighting the Tiger Vanguard.
"Left! Dodge! Attack! Ah! Why is he so fast?!"
She shouted at the screen, her fingers flying across the mechanical keyboard.
"You died." The red letters mocked her from the screen.
She had given a dozen kills to the Tiger Vanguard. Her temper, fiery on a good day, was somewhat volatile now. Her keyboard was almost shattered from her aggressive typing.
Just as Su Hongmian's face flushed red with frustration, feeling a bit overheated and about to smash the computer with a punch—
A warm, familiar embrace came from behind, encircling her.
Shen Anyu didn't make a sound. He simply materialized and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back against his chest. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent—a mix of expensive shampoo and the natural, sweet fragrance of her skin.
Su Hongmian's body instantly tensed. Her combat instincts kicked in, and she prepared to counter with a punch, her elbow cocking back.
But then, her delicate nose flared slightly. She sniffed a familiar scent—masculine, cool, with a hint of sandalwood.
She immediately relaxed, her body loosening and melting into the embrace.
A smile flashed in Shen Anyu's eyes. Su Hongmian, this tsundere young lady, was the destined heroine whose favorability he had maxed out earliest. Although she was always tsundere in her words, biting and scratching like a kitten, she was actually the most familiar with him and loved him the most. Her body recognized him before her mind did.
Conversely, Liu Mi, that little fox, couldn't recognize him immediately and still needed a certain plant to verify his identity.
"Stuck?" Shen Anyu whispered into her ear, his breath tickling her sensitive skin.
Su Hongmian shivered. "Hmph! Just a lag!"
Shen Anyu chuckled. He reached out, placing his large hands over her smaller ones on the keyboard and mouse.
"Let me help you."
He guided her hands. With his physical prowess and reaction speed honed to a superhuman level, the game became child's play. He timed the dodges perfectly, exploited every opening, and unleashed combos with machine-like precision.
In a short while, the Tiger Vanguard fell.
"Victory!"
Although he had never played it, his reflexes allowed him to clear the game using only normal attacks and dodges with extreme precision, without needing any skills.
A hint of joy flashed in Su Hongmian's beautiful eyes as she saw the boss defeated. But she quickly masked it. She spun her chair around to face him, puffing out her cheeks.
"Where did this little thief come from? Breaking into a girl's room at night! What are you doing?"
She tried to look angry, but her eyes were soft and watery.
Saying that, her little feet slipped out of her slippers and kicked backward, landing lightly on his shin. Her jade feet were crystal clear and delicate, the skin so translucent that faint blue capillaries could be seen beneath the surface. The toenails were painted a pale pink, looking like scattered petals.
Shen Anyu caught her foot in his hand, his thumb rubbing the arch.
"I missed you," he said simply.
Su Hongmian's face turned even redder. She tried to pull her foot back but failed.
Shen Anyu's eyes were filled with a teasing smile. He deliberately fanned his nose and said with a grin, "Such a strong smell of vinegar. Where did someone spill a vinegar jar? Are you jealous because I haven't visited in two days?"
"I'm not jealous, you bad guy! I'll hammer you to death!"
Su Hongmian immediately got overheated again. She lunged forward, her little fists pounding Shen Anyu's chest. But there was no force in the blows; it was more like a lover's caress.
Shen Anyu caught her wrists and pulled her into a deep kiss, silencing her protests.
...
On the other side of the world, a storm was brewing.
A sky-high bounty of one billion US dollars shook the international Dark World!
