Chapter 734: You're So Mean!
"It seems my dear Susan has truly missed me."
Shen Anyu chuckled, unwilling to disappoint the young woman's earnest heart. Without another word, he scooped her into his arms and stepped into the room.
The door swung shut behind them, seemingly moved by an unseen breeze.
For a time, the sweet chirping of orioles filled the air, a melody more beautiful than any heavenly music.
After a long and pleasant interval with Susan, Shen Anyu finally made his excuses and departed.
Susan remained where she was, her gaze fixed foolishly on the spot where he had vanished. More than half an hour passed before she finally looked away, murmuring softly to herself.
"I wonder what my husband is doing; he seems so very busy. But that's right... he is the Young Master of Yanxia's Shen Clan. He must be swamped with work, with so many matters to handle."
A determined light entered her eyes. "Once I break through to the Martial God realm, I will definitely be able to help him properly. I must become his good helper."
Susan pursed her full, pink lips, her eyes curving into a blissful smile.
She knew that Shen Anyu's mother, An Zhiyi, also held her in high regard. After all, Susan wasn't just well-behaved and beautiful; she was a Land Immortal. Even a powerhouse like Yanxia's Shen Clan would cherish such a daughter-in-law, never daring to neglect her in the slightest.
Compared to her status as a Land Immortal, her ordinary family background was utterly insignificant. One could even say that with Susan watching over them, the Shen Clan would have a century of peace and stability.
And so, Susan had resolved herself to be the perfect wife for the Shen Clan's Young Master, and a capable assistant in all his affairs.
If only she knew that Shen Anyu spent his days "busy" pursuing other women, she would likely explode on the spot.
It was a scene worthy of a world-famous painting: Susan, faithfully guarding their home, while Shen Anyu surfed the waves on entirely different beaches.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Anyu had already reappeared in Zhou Luyao's villa back in Hangzhou.
'This `Love Infinite Teleport` divine skill is truly convenient,' he praised silently. All of his divine skills were heaven-defying. `Love Infinite Teleport`, `Sharing`, `Six Senses Control`... each one was unbelievably powerful.
His thoughts then drifted back to Susan. He pinched his chin, a hint of trouble clouding his features.
'Susan is perfect in every way,'he mused,'except for one thing: her possessiveness is far too strong. If she ever saw me with other women, she would absolutely lose her mind.''As things stand, my only option is to become so much stronger than her that I can control her completely.'
Shen Anyu considered the problem. Only with absolute, overwhelming strength—far surpassing Susan's—could he put a stop to any potential drama. With his current complete power, he was confident he was a fair bit stronger than her. However, if a fight broke out, he wasn't sure he could protect his other women while also ensuring he didn't have to hurt Susan. He needed a much wider margin of power.
Of course, his little darling Susan would probably never bring herself to fight her beloved Brother Shen. But secretly eliminating his other women? That was a very real and distinct possibility.
"It's a pity," Shen Anyu sighed. "If only Susan were more like Zhang Yaqian, Zhou Luyao, and He Yiyi, and simply didn't care."
He was racking his brain, trying to manage the various small boats in his ever-expanding fleet.
'My current strength is all thanks to my own efforts,'he thought, a flicker of pride in his eyes,'...and perhaps a tiny bit of help from the Destiny Plunder System.'
To grow even stronger, he needed to plunder more Destiny Value. That meant suppressing the Children of Destiny and conquering their fated heroines.
, he had to make good use of the `Investment Rebate` function—a new ability he had devoured from Long Hao, the reborn investment guru. It was proving quite useful.
This thought made him all the more eager to get his hands on Ren Zhacheng's `Goddess Future Diary System`. The ability to master the future was in no way inferior to the `Investment Rebate`; in fact, it was likely superior.
"And as for Qin Yuan, that rat scurrying in the gutter... I'll dig him out sooner or later."
"Zhang Zhiyun has already produced the Yin Corpse Devil Sword Embryo. It's transformed into a blood cocoon and should hatch soon."
"I still need over three million more Destiny Value. Dealing with Ren Zhacheng and solving the problem of that Super Soldier King, Xiao Fan, should be enough. Twenty million Destiny Value is what it will take to devour the `Goddess Future Diary System`."
"Ren Zhacheng... a grasshopper in autumn. He won't be jumping for much longer."
A playful, cruel curve touched the corner of Shen Anyu's mouth. He recalled how the fool, hidden from sight, had tried to ambush him with a Thunder Talisman. Not only had the attack failed, but Shen Anyu had casually flicked him away, leaving him with grievous injuries.
Tsk, tsk. Four little words came to mind: you're just too weak.
"Ah! Ahhh! Shen Anyu! I'll kill you! I want you dead!"
Ren Zhacheng's eyes were bloodshot, his handsome face twisted into a ferocious, pain-wracked mask.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ren Zhacheng is in unbearable pain. Plunder +9999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ren Zhacheng's resentment is off the charts. Plunder +9999 Destiny Value!]
It hurt. It hurt too much!
Ren Zhacheng had never imagined that Shen Anyu could detect him while he was invisible. He never imagined Shen Anyu could shatter his protective talisman and inflict such a devastating wound.
And the location of the injury... it was a man's most fragile spot, the one place that could not afford to be damaged.
It had been blasted into nothing more than minced meat. There was nothing left to reattach.
"No... No, I don't want to be a eunuch! I can't be a eunuch!" Ren Zhacheng muttered, his expression contorting with every word as his hatred for Shen Anyu bored deeper into his soul. "I have the `Goddess Future Diary System`! A glorious future awaits me! I can't become a eunuch..."
Originally, he had felt his future was a brightly lit path. He Yiyi, Ling Qingcheng... one goddess after another was destined to become his. Wealth, power, and status were all supposed to be his for the taking.
But now... He Yiyi had become Shen Anyu's woman. The use he had—her embezzlement of company funds—was now practically useless.
And his beloved CEO Ling, Ling Qingcheng, had also lost her most precious treasure. Drugged by that bastard from the Yu family, she had ended up in bed with the man belonging to her best friend, Zhang Yaqian.
Ren Zhacheng had tried to intercept and save the day, but he had failed. Worse, he had been tied up and put on display for CEO Ling herself to witness. He had lost his internship at the Ling Group and suffered a humiliating defeat.
'There's still a chance,'he told himself, his breath catching in ragged sobs.'There's still a chance! I have the `Goddess Future Diary System`. I can do the lottery, get rewards... Maybe it can grow back. It has to be possible!'
He desperately clung to this sliver of hope. The system's rewards included miraculous items like Speed Talismans, Enlargement Pills, and even Shrinkage Pills. Surely, regrowing a severed limb wasn't out of the question.
After a long while, Ren Zhacheng finally managed to calm his frantic heart. He suppressed the soul-crushing agony of his emasculation deep within him and began to analyze his situation with a newfound, chilling calm.
'Right now, the most important thing is money. With money, I can play the lottery. One million per draw... I only have a few million left. It's not enough.''How do I make money? I still have to rely on the Goddess Future Diary. I hope I can get some valuable information from it.'
Ren Zhacheng checked the time. It was already past midnight, officially August 24th. That meant he could now view the future diaries of He Yiyi and Ling Qingcheng for August 25th.
He immediately pulled up Ling Qingcheng's entry.
"August 25th, Cloudy then Sunny"
"Ling Qingcheng, you cannot make the same mistake again!"
"Zhang Yaqian is your best friend. You can't hurt her! You can't get entangled with her man!"
"But... but that awful man is just too overbearing... What am I supposed to do?"
"I think... I think I'm starting to fall for him. No. No, I can't."
"This was the last time. The absolute last time. From now on, no more getting tangled up with him."
"Ling Qingcheng, you can do it!"
