"Me... Mengli? Is there something on my fa—"
Ye Feng's words were cut short as Shen Mengli suddenly pressed both hands against his shoulders, adjusting her posture while the fire in her eyes burned brighter.
To Ye Feng, this was nothing short of a monumental challenge.
He could tell from Shen Mengli's behavior that she had completely lost her rationality.
"Mmm... Xiao Feng... Xiao Feng..."
Shen Mengli's speech seemed utterly disrupted by Ye Feng's allure, reduced to murmuring his name as if it were the only way to express the storm of emotions inside her.
"Ahem..."
Ye Feng exerted strength to grip her shoulders, preventing her from squirming closer. At the same time, he tried to coax her back to reason.
"Mengli, Mengli, please calm down first, alright?"
Seriously... If I'd known the rose's charm would be this potent, I never would've used it.
"Want... want... I want Xiao Feng... I want everything about Xiao Feng..."
Shen Mengli's dazed eyes showed no sign of registering his words, as though she were a puppet under a spell.
"Give it to me... Xiao Feng... give it to me..."
"Me—ah!"
Ye Feng felt a sharp sting as Shen Mengli's teeth sank lightly into the webbing of his hand, leaving faint marks. He reflexively pulled away, only for her delicate frame to surge toward him like a tidal wave.
"I love you... I love Xiao Feng the most... Without you... I'd die."
With that, Shen Mengli sealed his lips with hers. No matter how Ye Feng struggled, it was futile—until he noticed her breathing growing increasingly ragged. Finally, he steeled himself and pushed her away.
"Hah... Hmm... Mmm..."
Shen Mengli bit down on her plush lower lip, her eyes shimmering with heart-shaped pupils. Only then did Ye Feng realize the sheer idiocy of what he'd done.
I knew that damn system's rewards were dangerous. Look what it's done to Mengli.
"Mengli, please calm down! You have to stay calm!"
"Give it... I need it! Please, Xiao Feng..."
After being pushed back, Shen Mengli's gaze seemed to clear slightly—but Ye Feng had a sinking feeling things weren't over yet.
"Give you what? Mengli, what do you want?"
"The... the pill. That little white pill."
"What do you want it for?"
"I just want to see..."
Ye Feng knew exactly what she was thinking—she wanted to use the system's power to gain the upper hand over him.
"No!"
He refused sternly. That white pill's side effect amplified desires to terrifying levels. If Shen Mengli took it, she'd devour him alive!
"Xiao Feng~ Please~"
Her pitiful expression made Ye Feng waver, but considering the stakes, he turned his head away.
No matter how Shen Mengli pleaded afterward, he remained unmoved—until she suddenly gripped his shoulders, looming over him with an intense gaze.
"Xiao Feng, I beg you... Let me have one unforgettable night. This is my final request in this world."
"Mengli, don’t say such ominous things!"
Flustered, Ye Feng met her eyes and finally sighed. Her words had struck a chord, loosening his resolve.
"I... fine. But Mengli, you have to promise not to push yourself too hard."
"Mm, I will."
Ye Feng could feel her trembling violently, as though she were expending tremendous effort to restrain her emotions.
"Alright..."
As soon as he spoke, a small pill materialized in his palm. Before he could even offer it, Shen Mengli leaned in and took it directly from his hand with a soft "Hmm?"
Mengli?
Ye Feng tentatively reached out, brushing his fingers against her forehead to check for any abnormalities before asking cautiously,
"Mengli... are you okay?"
"I... I'm... fine."
After swallowing the pill, Shen Mengli placed a hand over her chest, feeling the effects take hold.
"Whew... good. As long as you're alright, I can relax."
Just as Ye Feng let out a breath of relief, a flash of crimson light flickered in the darkness. By the time he turned toward it, it was too late—Shen Mengli's eyes had already turned a deep, ominous red, glowing eerily.
"Me... Mengli?"
"Xiao Feng... right now... I'm terrifyingly strong!"
"Mmph!"
Her warm lips captured his, followed by an overwhelming heat and an indescribable tension.
At this point, Ye Feng abandoned all restraint. Seeing Shen Mengli like this... he couldn't resist the urge to tease her mercilessly.
......
"Mmm... Xiao... Xiao Feng... I love you so much~"
"Hah... this pill's effects really are incredible. Even now, I don’t feel the slightest bit tired. Which means... mwah?"
"Xiao Feng... I finally understand just how impressive you are~ Turns out, I’d only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg before."
"Xiao... Xiao Feng?"
"Eh? Eh? This can't be right... Xiao Feng, how are you not exhausted at all? Me? I... I can still keep going!"
"Wuu... I’m not surrendering! I just... wanted to switch positions! Definitely not giving up!"
"......"
"No... impossible! Even with the system’s help, why am I still... mmph~"
"Xiao Feng... Xiao Feng, I was wrong... I shouldn’t have gotten any ideas... Please spare me~"
......
"Tch."
Meanwhile, Xie Yuyan, in the room directly above or below Ye Feng’s, irritably flipped over in bed before sitting up abruptly.
"Shen Mengli is this strong? That doesn’t make sense..."
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that?

mance] After transmigrating for eighteen years, Lin Qi lived as an utterly ordinary herbalist in the countryside. One day, he kindly brought home a sickly, beautiful girl covered in blood. They married in a flash and began their blissful, intimate life together. Right then, his long-delayed system finally activated. [Warning! Host detected in contact with the "Crimson Calamity," the world-ending witch!] Lin Qi looked at the adorable wife currently curled in his arms, who couldn't even open a jar lid and trembled at the sight of a mouse. Lin Qi: "System, are you insane? This is clearly just a weak and delicate sickly girl!" Thus, Lin Qi treated the system as a "Contrast System," where taking care of his wife made him stronger. Combing his wife's hair rewarded him with [Free Attribute Points]. Taking his wife out for sunshine rewarded him with [Forbidden Spell: Arcane Explosion]. Lin Qi: "This soft life tastes so good!" ...

The World-Ending Witch, Felucia: "I hid all the way in the countryside. How is it that the husband I married on a whim is stronger than I was at my peak?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
