"Mm..."
Early in the morning, Ye Feng was suffocated by a heavy pressure pressing down on him. When he woke up, he immediately realized the source of his discomfort.
"Ugh..."
A sharp pain shot through his head, and Ye Feng instinctively raised a hand to his forehead, trying to recall the events of the previous night. But his memory only lingered on the moment Xie Yuyan had pounced on him—everything after that was a chaotic blur.
"Ah..."
Another wave of pain surged from his lower abdomen. When Ye Feng lifted the blanket, he was startled to find that the wound there had reopened, staining the pristine white bandages with fresh blood.
When... when did this wound appear? Why don’t I remember anything about it?
Bewildered, Ye Feng averted his gaze and turned to Xie Yuyan, who was still sleeping soundly beside him. Strands of her hair clung slightly to her skin, glistening with traces of sweat like morning dew on lotus leaves—an enchanting sight.
"Hah..."
Ye Feng quickly looked away, afraid that if he stared any longer, he’d be completely entranced by her allure. He then carefully lifted the blanket, intending to get up and redress his wound.
But the moment he cautiously sat up and tried to stand, a wave of weakness washed over his entire body. Thankfully, his physical conditioning was strong enough to keep him from collapsing.
What... what’s happening to me?
Ye Feng stared in disbelief at his legs, which had momentarily gone numb the second his feet touched the floor.
Yuyan... just what did you do to me last night...?
He strained to piece together the fragmented memories of the previous night.
Ten... ten times... a full ten times...
"Gulp."
Ye Feng’s throat tightened as he swallowed hard, glancing back at the still-sleeping Xie Yuyan.
No wonder I can barely move—who could withstand that? If it weren’t for my enhanced physique, I would’ve been completely...
"Sigh..."
He exhaled deeply, never expecting Xie Yuyan to have been so ravenous the night before, devouring every inch of him like a starved tigress. Only after she was satisfied had she finally let him go.
Well, it’s getting late. I should go meet up with Mucheng now.
With that thought, Ye Feng sat back down on the edge of the bed, gazing tenderly at Xie Yuyan’s peaceful face before leaning down to press a soft kiss against her smooth cheek.
"Good morning."
Then he left the bedroom, leaving behind Xie Yuyan, whose lips curled into a faint smile in her sleep.
......
"So it’s true..."
Li Mucheng stared at the unmoving red dot on Ye Feng’s phone tracker, confirming what Shen Mengli had told her.
"Just who is that woman? Why is there no record of her anywhere? It’s like she appeared out of thin air!"
The more she thought about it, the more fury clouded her mind. After all the effort she had put into nurturing him, how dare someone else swoop in and taint what was hers?
"Hah..."
Just as the last thread of her restraint was about to snap, Ye Feng’s voice echoed in her mind.
"Don’t let emotions control you. Otherwise, you’ll always be at the mercy of your enemies."
"Teacher..."
Her turbulent gaze cleared slightly, and a chilling smile crept onto her lips.
"Thank you, Teacher... I’ll make sure to... properly... thank you~"
......
"This should do."
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction at the breakfast he had prepared and the note left on the dining table.
Not wanting to disturb Xie Yuyan’s rest, he quietly headed for the door. But just as he took his first step, her voice called out from behind.
"Ye Feng?"
"Xie Yuyan?"
Hearing her, he immediately turned around and saw her leaning weakly against the doorframe, her eyes filled with worry.
From her posture, Ye Feng could tell she was just as drained as he had been—though his recovery was faster thanks to his enhanced physique.
"Ye Feng, are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I told you about it last night, remember?"
He walked over and pulled her slightly chilled body into his arms.
"I tried not to wake you. Breakfast is already set out for you."
"Ye Feng..."
Xie Yuyan glanced at the meal he had prepared—simple fried eggs, sliced bread, and a carton of warm milk—and warmth bloomed in her chest. She wrapped her arms around him.
"I’m still worried about you."
"Silly, I’m fine. Aside from last night being a bit... intense, everything’s good. But next time, try not to be so... wild, okay? Look at you—you can barely walk."
"That’s not what I’m worried about..."
She shook her head, wanting to say more but ultimately holding back.
"But since you’ve said so, I’ll wait for you at home like... like a proper wife should."
"Yuyan..."
Moved by her words, Ye Feng leaned in and kissed her lips without hesitation. Xie Yuyan was the first woman in this unfamiliar world who had made him feel truly cared for. After everything that had happened, he wasn’t going to keep running away.
"Mmm..."
Xie Yuyan was completely caught off guard—usually, he’d only kiss her forehead at most. But now, everything had changed.
"Alright, I should get going to class. Be good and wait for me, okay?"
"Mm-hmm~"
Her usual sultry tone was gone, replaced by the sweet, girlish voice of someone deeply in love.
Click.
As the door closed, Xie Yuyan’s gaze lingered on the empty space where Ye Feng had been. A faint sense of loneliness settled in her heart—perhaps because he was no longer by her side. But she didn’t dwell on it. All she had to do was quietly fend off those vixens eyeing him, and eventually, his heart would belong to her completely.
"Ye Feng’s breakfast~"
She smiled as she looked at the simple yet lovingly prepared meal. Though modest, it was filled with his affection.
"I’ll finish every last bite—just like last night~"
With that, she picked up the milk and took a sip.
......
"Mm-hmm~"
Ye Feng hummed a tune as he stepped out of the apartment building, heading toward his usual taxi spot. Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes had been watching him intently from afar long before he even appeared.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
