"A calamity of bloodshed? Me?"
"How... how can you tell?"
Shen Jiuyi was completely oblivious to Lin Yu's wandering hands at her waist.
In a frantic hurry, she looked up, studying the celestial orbits and potential shifts in momentum.
The Taiyin Huoling fate pattern showed no signs of any impending bloodshed—at least, not that she could discern.
Could it be...
That Lin Yu had delved deeper into this than she had?
Was her knowledge of Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Divination) too lacking to see it?
"Still can't figure it out?"
"Take a closer look at the positions of Xianchi and Tianyao—aren’t they gradually aligning with your fate’s ruling star?"
Shen Jiuyi nodded hesitantly.
"That’s true, but Xianchi and Tianyao are stars of romance, not violent stars associated with killing intent."
"Where exactly is the sign of this so-called 'bloodshed calamity'?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiuyi quickly crossed her arms over her stomach.
Lin Yu had taken advantage of her distraction, his fingers slithering like a snake beneath the hem of her baseball jacket.
Shen Jiuyi panicked. "Lin Yu, what are you doing? Just because I—"
Lin Yu smirked. "Exactly. Because you’re fated to be a 'chosen woman of pleasure,' I wanted to test whether astrology really is this accurate—if it can see through a person’s past and future!"
Shen Jiuyi: "!!!"
Lin Yu: "Tell me, isn’t this the 'bloodshed calamity'?"
Shen Jiuyi: "???"
He admitted it?
He actually had the audacity to confess while groping her?
Shen Jiuyi suddenly realized that not stopping Yao Yao from getting involved with Lin Yu had been a colossal mistake.
"Wait—just listen to me first."
She tried to reason with him, hoping to buy time.
But Lin Yu’s chilling words slithered into her ears:
"Xiao Jiu, I’d advise you not to resist."
"Look around—who’s going to save you here?"
"This is your fate. After studying Zi Wei for so many years, haven’t you learned that destiny can’t be defied?"
"Rather than giving it to someone else... why not let me have a taste?"
"You can refuse. I promise I won’t bother you again."
"But... I only keep secrets for my own people."
With that, Lin Yu released her, waiting for her reaction.
Tch.
Playing the villain felt so damn good.
No wonder some people chose to live as antagonists.
Unethical—but euphoric.
Shen Jiuyi: "!!!"
Was Lin Yu...
Not even pretending anymore?
Just outright threatening her now?
Free from his grip, Shen Jiuyi stood up and strode toward the open wilderness.
But after barely five steps, she stopped and turned back.
Her icy gaze bore into Lin Yu, devoid of any warmth.
"My mistake was trusting you—that’s why this happened."
"You’re right. Mortal calculations can’t outwit the heavens."
"Just... keep your promise. Pretend tonight never happened."
With that, she lay back onto the ground.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
This easy?
She just... gave in?
For a fleeting moment, Lin Yu almost regretted that this was the dream world and not reality.
Playing a villain here had no consequences.
But back in the real world, he wouldn’t need such forceful tactics—patience would eventually lead to mutual willingness.
Still, he fully understood now.
A place where no actions carried responsibility... was truly terrifying.
It magnifies the tiny "evil thoughts" in one's heart to the fullest.
Having already gone this far,
Lin Yu showed no signs of stopping.
Instead, he pounced directly onto Shen Jiuyi, beginning a deliberate and unhurried disrobing.
At the same time,
he focused intently, listening for any unusual sounds in the dream world.
Before each collapse, there would always be a distinct "buzzing" noise.
Her peculiar dressing habits made removing her armor surprisingly effortless.
Once it was completely off,
there was still no sign of an impending collapse?
Had she already resigned herself to fate, numb to fear?
Even after being pushed to this point, she could still endure it?
This made Lin Yu admire Shen Jiuyi all the more.
He was curious—just how far could Shen Jiuyi's patience stretch?
"In my room, there’s always this faint, teasing breath lingering."
"It’s driving me mad!"
"Xiao Jiu, come here."
Seeing Lin Yu stand up, the other followed suit.
Shen Jiuyi hesitated on the grass, saying,
"I really don’t know how."
Lin Yu swayed Yao Yao, curling his finger as he replied,
"You don’t know yourself at all. I’m certain you’re a natural."
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
Things had already reached this point.
What was left to hold back?
The only thing Shen Jiuyi felt she could do tonight was to not show even a hint of excitement.
She would use her own reactions to respond to this baseless twist of fate.
In the deepest mire, she would confront herself!
Lin Yu, of course, had no idea what Shen Jiuyi was truly thinking.
All he saw was the sudden resolve in her eyes, as if she had made a monumental decision.
Then, she knelt on the grass and began moving toward him.
At this moment,
Lin Yu’s expression resembled that of Ah Kun in the morgue.
Wait—
Had he unintentionally provoked Shen Jiuyi with that joke about her being a natural?
And yet… it seemed to have unlocked some hidden potential in her?
In his past life,
Lin Yu had enjoyed such treatment more than once.
Some had been inexperienced, even clumsy.
But Shen Jiuyi’s skill and rhythm were terrifyingly precise—like a professional deboning boneless chicken feet.
Even in the dream world,
the physical sensations transmitted to his body were no less intense.
"Next time… when you see me, remember to bring a hair tie."
Lin Yu tucked Shen Jiuyi’s hair behind her ear.
The moment he finished speaking—
"Buzz… buzzzz…"
The humming noise immediately echoed in Lin Yu’s mind.
Lin Yu: "???"
After enduring so many unreasonable demands, even reaching the point of silver-tongued persuasion,
she triggered the collapse of the dream world over a single remark?
Shen Jiuyi, ah, Shen Jiuyi!
You really do care about your pride, huh?
Couldn’t even handle a comment about tying your hair?
In the next instant,
the grass beneath their feet began to warp and soften, swallowing them like quicksand.
Everything happened too suddenly for Lin Yu to react.
Aside from experiencing different lives,
the dream world also offered a taste of various deaths—quite the novelty.
Watching Shen Jiuyi sink into the mire, her gaze filled with relief,
Lin Yu pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him as he said,
"Don’t worry… you won’t escape."

+【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."

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
