Chapter 387: The War God's Despair! A Roleplay in the Wilderness!
[Ding! Detected that the Child of Destiny, Ye Linyuan, has suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown. Destiny Points plundered: +19,999!]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny, Ye Linyuan's, emotional storyline has suffered a major, irreversible setback. Destiny Points plundered: +66,666!]
...
Ye Linyuan's mindset exploded. It didn't just crack; it shattered into a million dusting fragments of despair.
Sitting on the luxurious sofa, trapped in the body of a six-year-old child, his soul—the soul of a supreme War God—was screaming in agony.
He looked around the room, his eyes bloodshot.
His charming, enchanting, and dangerously beautiful Second Senior Sister, Liu Ruyan, had a boyfriend. And it wasn't just anyone; it was Shen Anyu, the rich scoundrel he envied, was jealous of, and hated to his very marrow.
His pure, refined, jade-like Fifth Sister, Zhong Lingyin, the National Goddess, also had a boyfriend. She and that "Jade Prince" Shen Anyu wrote lyrics and composed music together. Their song, "Cherry Blossom Love," had dominated the hot searches for weeks, praised by countless netizens as the anthem of pure love. Every time Ye Linyuan heard that melody on the street, he felt like vomiting blood.
And now... even his energetic, innocent, and cute Little Sister, Yang Luoluo, had a boyfriend?
Ye Linyuan stared fixatedly at Yang Luoluo's lips. They were slightly swollen, rosy, and possessed a chaotic redness that extended beyond the lip line.
As a veteran of many flowers in his previous life, how could he not know what that meant? That was the mark of a devastatingly intense kiss, a kiss that devoured everything.
"What on earth is wrong with this world?" Ye Linyuan screamed internally, his small fists clenching until his nails dug into his palms.
He really wanted to cry. Tears welled up in his childish eyes.
Originally, according to his master's prophecy and his own planning, the seven Goddess Senior Sisters were all his. They were his destined wives, his harem, his support pillars for dominating the world.
But now? How did they all end up with other men? And it seemed to be the same man!
If this continued, wouldn't it be that by the time he finally managed to lift this damnable "Rejuvenation Curse," recover his cultivation to the [Heavenly Human] realm, and return to his original handsome, youthful appearance, all seven Goddess Senior Sisters would have been taken?
Would he be left with nothing but a group of nephews and nieces calling him "Uncle"?
"No! Don't be like that!"
"Don't do that kind of thing! Absolutely not!"
The image of his seven Goddess Senior Sisters lying in the arms of other men—specifically Shen Anyu—made his blood boil and his heart twist with a green, sickening jealousy.
"I must speed up. I can't wait ten years. No, one year... even half a year is too long. I will definitely find a way to lift the curse."
While Ye Linyuan was drowning in his internal hell, the atmosphere in the living room was suffocatingly tense for another reason.
Under the collective gaze of everyone—especially the laser-like scrutiny of Liu Ruyan—Yang Luoluo had completely crashed. Her mind was a blank sheet of paper.
She stood there, fidgeting, her face burning like a ripe tomato.
'It's over. Second Senior Sister found out. She definitely knows. What do I do? What do I do?'
Shen Anyu sat on the side, holding a cup of tea, watching this scene with great interest. The corner of his mouth hooked up in a faint, playful smirk. He enjoyed seeing his women flustered; it added a flavor to life that simple conquest couldn't provide.
Zhong Lingyin, noticing Luoluo's imminent collapse, gave Shen Anyu a reproachful glare. 'You bad guy, you caused this, and now you just watch?'
Her mind raced rapidly. As a Heavenly Queen used to dealing with paparazzi and unexpected interview questions, her reaction speed was top-tier. She immediately spoke up to help make excuses:
"It might not be like that. Ruyan, look closely. Maybe she was bitten by a mosquito. You know how the summer bugs are. Mosquitos are truly too hateful these days; they are so small, yet so annoying, buzzing around and stinging people everywhere. Very irritating."
Pfft.
Shen Anyu almost choked on his tea. He raised an eyebrow, looking at the elegant superstar in disbelief.
'Heavenly Queen Zhong is getting bold. Daring to call me a mosquito? And a small one at that? Tonight, this "mosquito" will have to show her his true size.'
Yang Luoluo, hearing Zhong Lingyin's excuse, felt as if she had been granted a great pardon from the Emperor. She nodded furiously, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes! Yes! Fifth Sister is right! It was a mosquito bite! A really big, nasty mosquito! In the middle of summer, there are too many mosquitos in the garden!"
The room fell silent for a second.
"Alright..."
Liu Ruyan's charming eyes sparkled with a profound light. She covered her red lips with a delicate hand, giggling softly. The sound was enchanting but carried a hint of dangerous sharpness.
"I'll reluctantly believe it. Perhaps, possibly... I believe it."
She wasn't stupid. She watched Little Sister Yang Luoluo's flustered appearance and found it amusing. She knew exactly what had happened. But seeing that Yang Luoluo was on the verge of crying from shame, she decided to show mercy. She temporarily stopped pressing the issue, planning to interrogate the girl privately later.
Ye Linyuan, however, had a crestfallen face. He didn't believe a word of it.
'Mosquito? Are you kidding me? This is Shen Anyu's Jiangjing Manor! A top-tier luxury estate! It has high-tech ultrasonic repellents and hundreds of servants cleaning daily. How could there be mosquitoes inside the Villa?'
'It's just... who was the man related to Little Sister?'
Ye Linyuan's gaze shifted to Shen Anyu. He looked at the man with deep suspicion.
'Could it really be Shen Anyu? Again?'
But without evidence, and seeing Shen Anyu's calm demeanor, he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
To be honest, Ye Linyuan was a little afraid of Shen Anyu now.
Especially after personally witnessing Shen Anyu's battle against the three [Heavenly Human] powerhouses of the Martial God Hall. That display of power—the golden lightning, the indifference to life—was etched into his memory.
Furthermore, he still had a favor to ask of Shen Anyu. He needed Shen Anyu's intelligence network to find his Third Senior Sister, Goddess Doctor Murong Jieyu.
Murong Jieyu was a legendary doctor, but she was eccentric. She traveled the world, constantly changing her appearance and identity to treat patients or hide from enemies. She was more elusive than a ghost.
'Now I still need to find Third Senior Sister and ask her to help lift the curse using her [Nine Cycles Life and Death Needle]. Once I return to my original appearance and recover my cultivation, I will settle all debts. It will be much easier then.'
Ye Linyuan thought to himself, a helpless and bitter expression on his childish face. Now that he was so small, there was nothing he can do but endure the humiliation.
...
Time passed, and soon it was lunchtime.
The dining table at Jiangjing Manor was filled with delicacies—steamed abalone, bird's nest soup, and Wagyu beef. Shen Anyu played the perfect host.
Aunt An Zhiyue and Liu Ruyan were warmly entertained. An Zhiyue, in particular, was very satisfied with her nephew's growth and the respect he commanded.
However, Zhong Lingyin was sitting on pins and needles.
She didn't dare to look at Shen Anyu's increasingly aggressive gaze across the table. His eyes seemed to be undressing her, reminding her of the "punishment" she might face for the mosquito comment.
She put down her chopsticks and made an excuse:
"I... I need to go to the Magic City Film and Television City to film. The director just messaged me."
It wasn't entirely an excuse. Due to the kidnapping incident by the Vulture Group and the Martial God Hall chaos, she had missed many scenes. The entire crew was halted, burning money every hour, waiting for her alone.
If it weren't for Shen Anyu's overwhelming influence as the investor and President Lu Xiuhan personally speaking up, the crew would probably have had countless complaints and the media would be in a frenzy.
Seeing Zhong Lingyin trying to slip away like a frightened rabbit, Shen Anyu wiped his mouth with a napkin, smiled, and said:
"Lingyin has been offered a billion-dollar bounty recently on the Dark Web, and she was also captured by a [Heavenly Human] from the Martial God Hall. It is still very dangerous outside."
He stood up, buttoning his suit jacket with elegant movements.
"I'll personally escort you there. I won't feel at ease otherwise."
Liu Ruyan, hearing about this, also frowned tightly. A surge of Killing Intent flashed in her eyes.
"The Martial God Hall is going too far! Our Master passed away so early because he was severely injured in a battle with the previous Hall Master of the Martial God Hall. And now they're even targeting Lingyin, trying to threaten Eldest Senior Sister."
She slammed her hand on the table lightly.
"But Lingyin, how did the Martial God Hall find out your identity? Eldest Senior Sister Pei Changli said long ago that you shouldn't expose your relationship with her. As the Sword Immortal's weakness, you'd easily be targeted!"
Zhong Lingyin no longer cared about shyness. Remembering the terrifying aura of the Sea Dragon King, she felt lingering fear.
"One time when I was performing, I forgot to take off my sect's jade pendant. Perhaps that's when I was targeted by their spies."
"It's all my fault!"
Zhong Lingyin's beautiful eyes looked at Shen Anyu with deep guilt and self-reproach.
If she hadn't accidentally exposed her connection with Eldest Senior Sister Pei Changli, it wouldn't have led to the billion-dollar bounty. It wouldn't have caused the three [Heavenly Human] beings to personally act, implicating Shen Anyu in a life-or-death battle.
"Since things have come to this, saying these things is useless. Lingyin, you should be more careful in the future. It's best to stay in Modu, within my sight. With me protecting you, no one can touch a hair on your head."
Shen Anyu had a solemn expression, exuding a sense of security.
But in reality, he was amused in his heart.
'Silly girl. That billion-dollar bounty was issued by me using a puppet account. I am the one who lured the Martial God Hall here.'
Of course, now that the Martial God Hall denied it, no one believed them. They had firmly taken the blame for Shen Anyu's scheme.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Shen Anyu sideways. Her female intuition told her that this scoundrel Shen Anyu must have ulterior motives for escorting Lingyin. But after thinking about the safety risks, she didn't say anything.
"Eldest Senior Sister is currently in seclusion attempting to break through the [Land Immortal] barrier. After she comes out, she will definitely go find trouble with the Martial God Hall to get justice for you, Lingyin."
"But now that the three Heavenly Beings of the Martial God Hall have disappeared, the organization will also be quiet for a while. They have lost their fangs."
Speaking of serious matters, Liu Ruyan reined in her charm, her expression becoming solemn and sharp.
At this moment, Aunt An Zhiyue, the new [Female War God], spoke up with a confident smile:
"Modu hasn't been peaceful recently. I've already applied to the military command to have the Fire Phoenix Special Forces stationed in Modu permanently. At that time, my girls can also deter those scoundrels from the Dark World."
Hearing this from Aunt An Zhiyue, Shen Anyu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Aunt, come with me to the Ji Family family banquet tomorrow. There's a good show waiting for us."
"A good show?"
"Yes, a spectacular show involving the rise and fall of a dynasty."
An Zhiyue looked at her nephew Shen Anyu in surprise. She saw the calculating glint in his eyes—a look she was becoming fond of. She pondered for a moment and smiled:
"Alright. If my nephew says it's a good show, it must be interesting. Then we'll go to the Modu Ji Family banquet together tomorrow night."
...
Next, Shen Anyu drove his limited-edition Bugatti, sending Zhong Lingyin to the Magic City Film and Television City.
However, they didn't go straight to the studio.
When they reached a secluded path surrounded by dense woods, far from the main road, Shen Anyu suddenly turned the steering wheel.
Screech.
The car drifted off the road and stopped directly in the shadow of the trees. The engine purred softly, then died.
The silence was sudden and heavy.
"Just now, at the house... someone called me a mosquito."
Shen Anyu unbuckled his seatbelt, turning his body to face her. His eyes were dark, burning with a predatory fire.
"And a small one at that. As a man, I feel my dignity has been challenged. I must mete out severe punishment!"
Zhong Lingyin's heart skipped a beat. She saw the hunger in his eyes.
Her lively starry eyes glared at Shen Anyu playfully. She instantly slipped into character—after all, she was an actress.
She put on a frightened act, shrinking into the car seat, crossing her arms over her chest, and trembling with exaggerated fear:
"You... you bandit! How dare you do this? Do you know who I am? My husband is the Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family, the King of Modu! If you dare to do anything to me, he will definitely kill you! He will chop you into pieces!"
Her acting was superb, her voice wavering with 'terror'.
"Hehe..."
Shen Anyu let out a low, villainous chuckle. He leaned over, trapping her between his body and the door. The scent of his cologne mixed with his masculine pheromones enveloped her.
"I don't care about any Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family. Even if the Emperor comes today, he can't save you."
He reached out, his fingers tracing the line of her jaw, down to her collarbone.
"Beautiful lady, I'm going to have you today. Just surrender to me. Being my woman is your blessing."
Shen Anyu pounced on her, speaking in a menacing tone, but his hands were already skillfully seeking the zipper of her dress.
"Ah!"
Zhong Lingyin let out a soft cry as his weight pressed against her. The cramped space of the sports car only added to the intimacy, the heat rising rapidly between them.
She couldn't hold the act anymore. She chuckled, her eyes looking at Shen Anyu with deep, melting affection. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, her lips brushing against his ear.
"Whatever you want, Mr. Bandit... I'll give it to you. For life, without regret! Take everything."
"Be serious! Don't break character! We're doing something important!"
Shen Anyu glared at Zhong Lingyin, feigning anger, but his hand was already sliding up her thigh, causing her to shudder.
"Beautiful lady, look out the window. It's just wilderness. No one will come to save you even if you scream yourself hoarse."
Zhong Lingyin bit her lip, her face flushed with excitement. She gave a mischievous smile, her eyes sparkling with tears of arousal.
She cleared her throat and shouted softly, straining her voice to sound desperate, yet filled with intense pleasure:
"Help! Someone! Save m— Ah!..."
Her theatrical cry for help shattered instantly, replaced by a ragged, needy gasp as sensation overwhelmed her acting.
"You villain... Mmm... don't... don't stop..."
