Must... what?
Liu Yuan didn’t dare to think further.
She lay back on the bed, pulling the covers over her head, trying to shut out the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind.
...
Time passed slowly.
The room was silent.
The living room seemed quiet too—had Su Qi returned to his own room?
Liu Yuan curled up under the blankets, her mind a jumbled mess.
The space beneath the covers grew stiflingly warm.
She quietly lifted a corner, letting in a stream of cool air.
The heat in her cheeks subsided slightly.
Closing her eyes, she replayed every detail of what had just happened.
Every image, every word...
Shame surged through her again, but this time, Liu Yuan didn’t resist it.
Instead, she... embraced the feeling.
The "special talent seed" inside her seemed to grow more active, emitting faint, tingling currents of energy that flowed through her limbs.
Not enough...
She bit her lip, fingers unconsciously gripping the pillow.
In her mind, Su Qi’s figure grew clearer.
His teasing smirk, his focused expression when serious, the rare moments of tenderness... and today, when he hid those strange "gifts"...
And later, when he barged into her room with that mischief...
All these versions of Su Qi intertwined in her thoughts.
The energy from her special talent surged more violently, tiny electric currents dancing across her skin.
An indescribable emptiness rose from deep within, accompanied by an overwhelming urge.
She instinctively tensed.
Hesitating... but finally, she slowly withdrew her hand from the pillow.
She made a bold move.
...
"Mmm..."
A muffled sound escaped her lips.
Liu Yuan bit down on her lower lip, swallowing back any further noise.
Her mind was filled only with Su Qi—his presence growing sharper, more... real.
As if he were right beside her, his warm hand encouraging her, assuring her she could awaken her special talent.
The energy waves intensified.
Brighter and brighter.
Her movements became less controlled, chasing the escalating throbs of pleasure.
"Brother..."
A whisper, trembling and barely audible, slipped from her lips.
Boom—!
The "special talent seed" erupted in a blinding flash.
A torrential wave swept through every cell of her body!
For a moment, she felt as if her soul might leave her entirely.
...
Next door, Su Qi—who had been tossing and turning in bed—slipped out to check on the faint noises coming from his sister’s room.
Then he heard it.
That barely audible whisper of "Brother."
His body froze.
[Pleasure +999] x10
Su Qi’s throat went dry.
A certain suspicion made his heart race, his face flushing unnaturally.
...
After the overwhelming tide receded, all that remained was exhaustion and... a strange sense of accomplishment.
Liu Yuan lay limp on the bed, too spent to even lift a finger.
Yet her mind was unusually clear.
She could feel it—the "seed" was no longer just a seed.
It had fully awakened, forming a peculiar connection with her.
A stream of information flowed naturally into her consciousness.

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
