Chapter 350: Are You a Devil? The Child of Destiny's Nightmare!
"No, don't."
Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin's face turned pale, and she struggled continuously in Shen Anyu's arms.
From the throat hailed by major music magazines worldwide as the "Voice of God," such terrified, breathless words were uttered.
If Zhong Lingyin's billions of fervent fans knew that their pristine goddess was being held in such a dominating embrace, they would surely rush forward in a frenzy to fight Shen Anyu to the death.
But here, in the secluded luxury of the villa, their adoration meant nothing.
Seeing the man make no effort to restrain himself, leaning in with a predator's calm assurance, Zhong Lingyin directly extended her slender, fair index finger to block Shen Anyu's lips. Her exquisite and graceful body, with a desperate twist of her waist like a nimble water snake, managed to slip out from under the overwhelming pressure of Shen Anyu's chest.
She retreated to the edge of the bed, her chest heaving violently, the expensive silk of her dress clinging to her sweat-dampened skin.
"Second Brother-in-law, you are Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan's boyfriend! We cannot make the same mistake again and do something that would let Sister Ruyan down."
At this point, Zhong Lingyin paused. The righteous resolve in her voice wavered as she looked up. Her beautiful eyes, usually sparkling under stage lights, now softened into a pool of misty, conflicted emotion as she looked at Shen Anyu.
She bit her red lip, the pain grounding her, and said:
"Second Brother-in-law, let's bury the affection between us in our hearts. Both you and I must exercise restraint, letting our feelings arise but stopping at propriety. Otherwise, if things are exposed one day, how will we face Sister Ruyan?"
The memory of the incident in Sakura Country, Tokyo, flashed through her mind. Being nearly caught in the act by Fourth Senior Sister Ye Liyou—the terrifying Blood Shadow Rose—had scared Zhong Lingyin quite a bit. The fear of death and the fear of social ruin had been a bucket of ice water over her burning passion.
After much thought during the flight back, Zhong Lingyin had made up her mind that, no matter what, this illicit, dangerous relationship with Shen Anyu could not continue. Otherwise, how would she face the sister who had raised her?
Even though her heart was also very sad and reluctant.
Shen Anyu was not only her first man, her only man, but also the first man she had ever truly fallen in love with. His dominance, his mysterious power, his pampering—it was a poison she had happily swallowed.
It was just that their respective identities were destined for no good ending. One was the future brother-in-law, the other the sister-in-law. It was a taboo that society would never accept.
Zhong Lingyin's beautiful eyes were misty, swimming with unshed tears as she expressed her affection and reluctance to Shen Anyu, as well as her fragile determination to end everything.
At this moment, outside the door crack, a pair of wide, trembling eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Yang Luoluo was stunned!
Her hand, calloused from years of sword practice, hovered over the doorknob, frozen in place. She and Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she had missed her dearly, planning to come over and share some private girl talk.
Especially, Yang Luoluo wanted Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin—who was worldly and experienced in romance (or so she thought)—to analyze whether she had fallen for her Master Brother.
For some time now, Yang Luoluo, who was always a martial arts fanatic, had often been distracted. During meditation, instead of the void, she saw Shen Anyu's face. During sword practice, she imagined him correcting her form. This made Yang Luoluo, who had been single-minded in martial arts since childhood, a bit troubled and also a bit shy.
But these girlish thoughts were not easy to speak of to outsiders, and even less possible to mention to that annoying little brat, Ye Linyuan.
Although Master-disciple relationships were not strictly taboo in this modern era, Shen Anyu was not only her Master but also Second Senior Sister Liu Ruyan's boyfriend. This identity was clearly inappropriate.
Yang Luoluo was also very troubled and wanted Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin to analyze, persuade, or even scold and reprimand her, preferably to help her dispel any improper thoughts.
However, Yang Luoluo never dreamed that she would witness such a scene.
Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin... the pure, innocent National Goddess... actually had such a relationship with Master Brother Shen Anyu?!
It shocked Yang Luoluo for a whole year! Her brain short-circuited.
The visual impact of seeing her revered sister looking so disheveled, her face flushed with a mix of shame and desire, pleading with Shen Anyu, shattered Yang Luoluo's worldview.
Upon seeing this scene, besides being shocked and disbelieving, Yang Luoluo also felt a strange, sour feeling rising in her chest—a feeling she had never experienced before. She felt a bit wronged and unwilling:
'I was the first... I was the one who met Master Brother first! I was the first to have intimate contact during healing! Why did Fifth Sister get ahead of me?'
The seed of jealousy, once planted, began to sprout wildly.
Shen Anyu's peripheral vision swept over Yang Luoluo outside the door crack, and a faint, imperceptible smile flashed in his profound, starry eyes.
This was naturally intentional on his part; otherwise, with his [God-Level Perception] and [Divine Steel Body] senses, it would have been impossible for Yang Luoluo to approach within a hundred meters without him knowing, let alone peep through the door.
He had sensed her arrival the moment she stepped onto the floor but had chosen not to engage the soundproofing array.
'Yang Luoluo's overall favorability has been stuck at over eighty for too long. It's reached a bottleneck.' Shen Anyu analyzed calmly.
Shen Anyu was naturally unwilling to let it be, but he also knew that he couldn't rush it with her.
Yang Luoluo had practiced martial arts since childhood, possessing a pure heart and simple mind, but her intuition was keen. If he had any ill intentions or forced her, it could easily backfire and ruin her Dao Heart.
He needed a special time, a special occasion, to make Yang Luoluo break through her moral boundaries, cast aside shame and hesitation, and rush forward without reservation!
Jealousy and shock were excellent catalysts.
This was also true for Zhong Lingyin.
Zhong Lingyin's overall favorability was also stuck at eighty-nine, making it difficult to increase to the "Diehard" level of ninety-plus. She was held back by her guilt toward Liu Ruyan.
And now, perhaps it was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone—or rather, shoot two phoenixes with one arrow. By letting Yang Luoluo witness this, the secret was shared, the taboo was diluted, and the competition would begin.
...
Meanwhile, in the hallway below.
"Hehe, good opportunity! Master Brother and Seventh Sister are distracted... I'll go find Fifth Sister!"
Ye Linyuan's dark eyes darted around like a thief. Seeing that Shen Anyu and Seventh Senior Sister Yang Luoluo seemed to be occupied elsewhere, he prepared to go find Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin to take advantage of the situation and boost his favorability.
Although he was now under a [God-Level Curse Talisman] that reverted him to childhood and stripped him of all his cultivation, his small, harmless appearance made it easier to approach women without raising their guard.
"Hehe, in the past, I spied on First Senior Sister hundreds of times and never succeeded because she would sense my Qi. Now in this state, I have no Qi! It's much less difficult."
A wretched, perverted grin appeared on his childish face.
"Maybe I can even act cute, pretend to have a nightmare, and ask to sleep with Fifth Sister tonight. Once I'm in her bed... hehehe."
As soon as Ye Linyuan thought of that scene—burying his face in the soft embrace of the National Goddess—his heart was filled with anticipation and joy.
Fifth Sister Zhong Lingyin was a global superstar, a national goddess. If he could sleep with her, touch her skin, and enjoy her scent, countless men worldwide would surely be green with envy.
Immediately, Ye Linyuan tiptoed up the stairs, preparing to go to the guest room on the third floor—Zhong Lingyin's room—which he had already located earlier.
However, just as he reached the landing, a shadow loomed over him.
A tall, robust middle-aged woman, built like a tank with arms thicker than Ye Linyuan's thighs, blocked his path. She wore a stern, no-nonsense expression.
"Young Master Ye, what are you doing?"
Ye Linyuan shivered as he saw the muscular middle-aged strong woman. He seemingly recalled the terror of being bounced around like a basketball before. His face turned a bit pale as he said nervously, trying to play the innocent child card:
"I... I'm just going to play with Fifth Sister. I miss her."
The middle-aged strong woman, with a fleshy face that twitched slightly, smiled. It was a terrifying smile. She said kindly, yet with a tone that brokered no argument:
"That won't do. The Young Master Shen has instructed that Young Master Ye is still young. You cannot waste your time playing. You should take advantage of the holiday to catch up on studies."
She pulled out a long scroll.
"Twenty-seven tutoring subjects have already been arranged, including Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, History, Philosophy, Equestrianism, Long-Distance Running, Fencing, Calligraphy, Painting, Etiquette, and so on. All are taught by renowned teachers who are extremely strict. Each lesson costs at least ten thousand yuan, so it cannot be wasted."
Ye Linyuan's jaw dropped. Twenty-seven subjects?!
Saying that, the middle-aged strong woman reached out with a hand like a vice grip and directly clamped Ye Linyuan under her armpit like a sack of potatoes, turning to walk towards the "study room" (dungeon).
"No!!! Let me go! I don't want to study! I want Fifth Sister!"
Ye Linyuan's terrified screams echoed for a long time in the corridor.
In the deep valley of the sect, even First Senior Sister Fairy Pei, who was so strict regarding cultivation, hadn't made him take twenty-seven academic courses! He was a cultivator, not a scholar!
And, most importantly, with so many courses filling every second of his day, how would he even get to interact with his goddess Senior Sisters? How would he find a way to restore his cultivation and lift the curse?
He was being imprisoned under the guise of education!
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's mentality exploded, plundering +9999 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan was terrified and dumbfounded, plundering +9999 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan's contact with the Destined Heroine was interrupted once again, plundering +66666 Destiny Points!]
...
[Location: Inside the Room]
Ye Linyuan's terrified screams, carried through the door crack, also caused Zhong Lingyin to stop her emotional rejection. She looked towards the door, showing surprise and confusion.
"Is that... Linyuan? Why is he screaming?"
Shen Anyu pulled her back into his arms gently, smoothing her hair. He explained with a warm, benevolent smile—the smile of a saint:
"Don't worry. I arranged comprehensive tutoring for Ye Linyuan. The boy has been wild for too long; he needs structure to ensure his holiday is fulfilling. They are all taught by renowned teachers."
Listening to Shen Anyu's explanation, Zhong Lingyin's beautiful eyes immediately softened. The guilt in her heart eased slightly, replaced by admiration for the man in front of her. He was not only powerful but also cared so deeply for her junior brother's future.
She looked at Shen Anyu and said softly:
"You are more thoughtful than us Senior Sisters. Thank you…"
