Chapter 1: "You called the police on me!?" (1)

Earth, Haland Country.

Qingyun City.

11th March 2023.

10 ó clock in the evening.

Like any other day, Zhang Wei was walking to his apartment located on Southside heights in the south district of Qingyun city.

The south district was famous for its residential area, its quiet streets, and its serene atmosphere.

All the apartments in the Southside Height were too expensive for an average citizen to afford in his lifetime, but Zhang Wei had got the privilege to live in one of the most luxurious apartments on the sixteenth floor of the newly constructed residential building.

It was a privilege given to his lovely wife Yu Lei, but being her husband he was naturally allowed to live with her.

She was currently working as a vice president for Pearl Cosmetic International Ltd, which was one of the cash cows of the Lin Group, managed by the Lin family.

Both Zhang Wei and Ye Lei were graduates of business management from Qingyun University, one of the most prestigious universities in the city.

Yu Lei got the scholarship, while Zhang Wei worked part-time to afford the fees of the university.

Neither of them was rich, in university Zhang Wei spotted Yu Lei on the first day and instantly chose her as his idle target.

He was tired of working hard every day and wanted to live off others, for living a carefree life, the best way was to marry a rich wife.

Even though he has a god-given face and physique, with his average talent marrying a top beauty was out of the list, according to him it would take too much effort.

So he choose Yu Lei as his target, considering her talents she would definitely climb up the corporate ladder in no time after graduating from the university.

Yu Lei was extremely beautiful, even termed as the top beauty in their batch, but somehow she ended up falling for Zhang Wei.

It was strange for everyone considering, thought Zhang Wei had a good-looking face but there were much more impressive males in the university, so why did a goddess like Yu Lei choose her?

Their questions were never answered, as right after graduation Yu Lei married Zhang Wei, and her sudden decision startled everyone.

Right before marriage, she was selected for the position of junior manager at Pearl Cosmetics International Ltd.

Even her parents thought she should stabilize her career first, before considering marriage.

They were not concerned about Zhang Wei as he was a good child according to them, rather they felt their daughter was too hasty.

However nothing made her go back on her decision, the marriage ceremony took place soon after and they were married.

Since Zhang Wei also graduated from Qingyun university, he could easily get a job in an MNC.

But he chooses to not work, rather live off her wife's money.

That was his end goal from the very beginning.

He had a beautiful wife with the charm and gentleness of a goddess, who was ready to bear his financial expenses.

What else he needed in life?

A busty mother?

A loving big sister?

Some caring daughters?

When all of Yu Lei's friends believed that she would not consent to Zhang Wei's decision of being a stay-at-home husband, she surprised everyone and supported his decision.

In this way, she felt she can take better care of Zhang Wei.

As for her parents, they were told lie by her.

She lied to them, that Zhang Wei was working in the same company as hers, as she did not want them to worry about her future.

They were living in another city, so it was quite easy to cover this lie.

But why would a woman like Yu Lei ever lie to her parents?

Nobody ever noticed...

There were strange patterns here...

All of there were centered around Zhang Wei...

As if he was the one playing with everything from the beginning.

As if he was the center of every strange phenomenon.

Observing his current self, no one can tell a man like him was able to manipulate events to this degree, but it was all just a mask... His real face lies inside the mask...

There was a faint smell of alcohol oozing from his body, but he appeared to be walking normally without any signs of being drunk.

He suddenly grabbed the shirt and smelled it.

'The smell is gone...'

As if nothing happened, he continued walking down the hallway.

The alcohol was used to hide the smell of fluids coming from his body.

He was coming right from the bar, after messing with a beautiful waitress there.

To hide the scent from Yu Lei, he used alcohol to cover the smell of it.

Unlike the novels he has read, where those idiot protagonists are unaware of the keen senses and sharp noses of women, he was quite aware and made sure of everything after he made an affair outside with an unrelated woman.

The question was why search for women outside if a goddess was waiting for him in the home?

It was all to blame Zhang Wei for it...

A man can never have enough...

He wanted to have a harem of beauties.

Being fully capable of gaining one, he chooses not to, it will take him a lot of effort and he won't be able to slack off anymore.

Yes, he wasn't weak in academics because he can't learn, rather he did not want to learn.

Unlike what others think him to be, he was extremely shrewd and intelligent, one of the proofs of his abilities was Yu Lei, despite being at the top of the university, she was easily manipulated by him.

She even knew of his affairs outside, yet she kept her silence on it, as every time she tried to bring that matter up, Zhang Wei will play his cards and make her forget about it.

But he still needed to hide the smell, he can do it in silence, but if he does it openly, she would certainly not be able to take it, then his luxurious life would be gone.

He arrived in front of the door and put his finger on the biometric scanner.

Once again, he made sure his hairs were unkempt and his clothes were wrinkled as if he was drunk.

One of the essences of manipulation was pretending to be dumb, where the other person thinks you can't understand him and reveals the things he shouldn't.

In this way, Zhang Wei can pretend to be drunk and notice his wife's reactions to many things.

Sometimes he comes with lipstick marks on his clothes, sometimes with a packet of used condoms in his pockets.

Each time, he increases the level to see what's her tolerable limit.

He pretends to be drunk, while being completely awake and notices her reactions, to see if she needed any corrective actions.

This was an essential step in manipulation, to keep checking on your target occasionally and manipulating and making adjustments when needed.

Today, he had a red lipstick mark on his right cheek.

The biometric scanner naturally rejected him with a beep, it was because he put the wrong finger in.

Seeing a red light shining in front of him, he frowned and started beating the door in front of him.

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

His loud screams were not heard by the neighbors due to the excellent soundproofing on the doors.

"YU LEI!"

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

Click*

Suddenly the door was opened, and a beautiful woman poked her head out.

She did not say anything but turned to the side allowing him to enter inside.

Zhang Wei staggered on his steps but somehow managed to walk properly without falling.

Yu Lei's sight wandered across the red lipstick mark on his face, after frowning for a second, she ignored it as her expression went back to normal.

"Are you drunk again...?" She asked with a natural look.

"BRING ME SOME WATER!"

Zhang Wei sat on the large luxurious sofa and shouted.

Yu Lei stared at him for a few seconds and after sighing once she walked in the direction of the kitchen with quiet steps.

It was pretty clear, she was used to it.

But Zhang Wei noticed something strange.

His eyebrows lifted in surprise, today she was looking at him with a difficult look with a hint of anger and this has never happened before.

She can be sad with him, and she may cry but she was never angry with him.

No, it wasn't just anger...

If it was just anger, it should be fine...

But there was a hint of hate and contempt in her gaze.

'Does she need better taming?'

Zhang Wei thought to himself.

Right then, he opened his phone and a black terminal window flashed on the small screen.

He used RAT to infiltrate Yu Lei's phone and instantly check her all messages.

RAT stands for remote access Trojan, despite being a business management graduate, Zhang Wei was well versed with computer viruses and the dark web.

He bought this RAT on a Tor website at a Halloween discount, it was some kind of virus that can be used to spy on other devices.

The ironic thing was he bought it using Yu Lei's money and was spying on her phone.

Since he can physically access her phone and she had high trust in him, sending a RAT to her phone was easy.

He just embedded the RAT in a photo of their marriage and send it by text message, the moment she downloaded the photo, the RAT was activated and functioning.

Spying on someone with this modern technology is too easy.

All you need is some money and knowledge.

After going through her latest messages, he did not find anything strange.

He was keeping sure Yu Lei was isolated from all her loved ones, so he had to keep track of whom she contacts, and if she is habitually contacting anyone, he would make sure to break her relationship to make her isolated.

Once she is isolated, the only person she can depend on was him.

Zhang Wei was extremely intelligent and can control people as he liked, if not for his apathetic attitude toward life, he would have long surpassed the achievements of Yu Lei.

Right when he was checking through her older text messages, he heard some footsteps and instantly placed the phone down on the table.

A/N: The Narcissistic author is back with a new novel!

Warning: This MC is worse than Xia Tian and you will hate him to the core... Only the covet believers of true evil and the ones who are a menace to society, would like his character.

This novel is not for soft-hearted or good-hearted people.

What do you imagine, when you think of the word evil?

A murderer?

What else can you think about the mention of evil?

Don't worry, be grateful to the author, if he have wrote evil in the tags, he would display true evil and not sigh away from it!

Only a person who himself is evil can write an evil Main Character, you will understand as the novel moves further in the story.

Regardless, in this novel, I would keep a minimum of my notes and explanation and focus more on the action side of manipulation and story.

If you want to learn the tactics, go and read my other novel, The Psychopath's Harem.

In this novel, I would only focus on the manipulation, and won't explain the principles working behind it.

There is no overpowered tag, but be sure the MC will not be weak, simp, idiot, or beta.

Thank you for reading.

Support the story, if you want daily updates.

Chapter 2: "You called the police on me!?" (2)

While Zhang Wei was checking her phone, Yu Lei walked to the kitchen with quiet steps.

She tried her best to keep a poker face, and right when she passed through the door, her steps can't help but stagger.

Her fingers grip tightened around a rectangle object in her right hand.

It was a mobile phone.

Surprisingly it wasn't her phone, rather it was her newly appointed maid, Hao Yue.

The latter usually leave the apartment around 8 ó clock in the evening, which is faster one hour earlier than her contracted scheduled time.

Since Yu Lei stays out of the house due to work for a longer duration, it means Zhang Wei will have to do the chores and housework.

As a virtuous and rich wife, how can she allow him to work?

So naturally, she had hired a maid, but never in her wildest life she thought her move will backfire like this.

Before Hao Yue, there was another maid.

The maid wasn't particularly attractive, but she knew to do her work well.

In these types of jobs, character matters more than appearance.

And even though Yue Lei was living in this luxury, she can't afford to pay for it. It was just a gift from the president of the group, due to her excellent performance.

So hiring a maid on the basis of her appearance was out of the question, all Yu Lei needed was an honest working woman.

However, the middle-aged woman that was earlier working here got some health issues and was forced to leave the work.

As the VP of a listed company, Yu Lei was making a little over one million HLD

HLD was the native currency used in the Hanland country.

[Note: 1 HLD = 1 RMB]

Hao Yue was one of the classmates of Yu Lei in high school, the former desperately needed work, unlike Yu Lei, who was without any formal degree and only completed her education till high school.

At first, Yu Lei was skeptical about appointing Hao Yue as a maid, during their time in high school, it wasn't any secret that Hao Yue envied Yu Lei.

Hao Yue was second in the class, while Yu Lei was the first.

The school flower ranking was similarly the same.

So appointing a woman like her was definitely suspicious, especially since Yu Lei did not want Hao Yue to seduce Zhang Wei.

This was one of her biggest concerns.

Hao Yue left studying because her father caught cancer, and soon died, while they were still in the last year of high school.

Somehow, Hao Yue was able to sustain themself with all the money left by her father and finish high school.

But before she can opt for university, her mother hooked up with a foreign man.

The man tricked her mother and took all of their money away.

Now it was up to Hao Yue to work and sustain their livelihood by herself.

Hao Yue's mother got a huge shock due to the betrayal, she had to be hospitalized, afterwards, if it wasn't already enough, her mother's lower body was paralyzed due to a strange neurological disease.

Listening to all of this, even Yu Lei had to admit she sympathized with Hao Yue.

Thus she allowed Hao Yue to work here, at a higher salary than the average pay for the maid.

But who would have thought, the woman she pitied once, will stab her own back?

Today, in the morning Hao Yue was behaving strangely, Yu Lei did not care about it and left for the office.

At the end of the day, when Hao Yue left the apartment, she somehow forget to take her phone with her.

Initially, Yu Lei wasn't interested in spying on someone else's phone, but a notification really took her by surprise.

It was from the hospital apparently, with a subject line of the pregnancy report.

Seeing that Yu Lei's feet were frozen, she had a gut feeling that it wasn't anything good.

Without caring about morals, she tried to unlock Hao Yue's phone.

The pin was easy to crack, it was the last four letters of her phone number.

The first thing Yu Lei did was to look at the report, which has positive results.

Her hands started to tremble because Hao Yue neither had a boyfriend nor she was married.

Yu Lei had a hunch about the baby's father, but it was a possibility she did not want to believe even in her dreams.

With fingers crossed, she opened the gallery application, but as if heaven itself want to see her break, the first pic was of Zhang Wei and her lying in the master bedroom.

Both did not have any clothes, and their lower body was covered by a thin layer of white blanket.

Things did not need to be said anymore...

The pic was taken a few weeks ago, and it wasn't the only picture on her phone.

There were many more...

Zhang Wei had never thought in his wildest dreams, that Hao Yue was taking their pic when he was asleep.

Never did he think that Yu Lei will get a hand on Hao Yue's phone.

It was all to blame for Hao Yue's stupidity...

But nothing of it matters to Yu Lei...

All she knew was, Zhang Wei was cheating behind her back...

She tried to turn a blind eye to actions so many times ...

She convinced herself, again and again, the marks on his shirt were nothing but from a woman from a club.

Zhang Wei might be feeling lonely at home, and wanted to have some fun, he might have visited a club and danced with a few women.

Even in the worst-case scenario, she convinced herself that he might have spent a night with another woman.

But that also was only her suspicion.

Due to work, she was never able to accompany Zhang Wei, sometimes she would be too tired that she sleeps right after going to the bed.

For all of this, she felt immensely guilty, so she does not want to put pressure on Zhang Wei.

She knew he won't cheat on her...

He loved her more than anything...

But the small castle she had built in her mind crumbled after seeing those obscene pictures in Hao Yue's phone...

Not only that, but Yu Lei also started to believe that the marks on Zhang Wei's clothes, weren't from just any random woman in the club...

He might have more relationships outside...

Her small delusional world crumbled and fell apart right in front of her...

Yu Lei was so much in shock, that she even called the helpline for help when she heard Zhang Wei screaming at the door.

"Ouch!"

Yu Lei suddenly groaned in pain and looked at her hand.

She was clutching the phone so hard, that it had nearly started cracking.

Putting it aside, she took deep breaths to calm herself down.

Afterward, she got in front of the refrigerator to get a water bottle.

Seeing her reflection on the refrigerator door, her eyes shook violently.

She placed her hands above it and traced her own reflection with her slender fingers.

Even with her current look, Yu Lei had an aura of confidence around her.

Yu Lei's hair was a lustrous black that fell in loose waves around her shoulders, framing her face in a way that highlighted her delicate features. Her eyes were a piercing blue that shone like sapphires, drawing in anyone who gazed upon her

Her skin was smooth and flawless, with a natural glow that radiated from within. Her features were striking, with high cheekbones, a slim nose, and full lips that were always slightly upturned in a smile.

She had a toned and athletic figure, with curves in all the right places that were accentuated by her form-fitting clothing.

This woman was a vision of beauty and power, a force to be reckoned with in any situation.

Even though Hao Yue was beautiful, she was nowhere close to her, in terms of appearance, it wasn't Yu Lei's arrogance but confidence.

Even with a casual black nightgown, her figure outshines all of her peers.

"What did I lack that Zhang Wei had to resort to that slut...?"

Yu Lei's mind was full of question marks, she gave whatever she had to him... So why did Zhang Wei still do this?

Whenever she asked for a baby, he denied her, but now her rival from the high school was bearing his child, as his legal wife, her heart ached every time she remembered the picture of Zhang Wei in Hao Yue's phone.

And now some foreign woman is carrying his genes...

Why?

The harder she tried to look, the tearier her eyes got.

Yu Lei haven't noticed, but she was taking out her frustration and anger, on herself and Hao Yue.

In this case, it was the complete fault of Zhang Wei for behaving like a scumbag.

But Yu Lei was still unable to blame him.

Her anger was being channeled onto everyone but Zhang Wei.

She was still doubting, that she lacked something in treating him...

This was not normal at all until the woman was the one who was dependent upon the husband, physically and mentally.

This was a sign of dependency-based behavior.

This behavior is often exhibited by the children towards their parents.

The children live their lives to earn the appreciation of their parent, and if somehow their parent end up hurting them at some point, the children will start crying and blaming, 'What did I do to deserve this?'

Yu Lei at this point was like a child, who was dependent on Zhang Wei.

Chapter 3: "You called the police on me!?" (3)

Yu Lei walked back to the living area, with a bottle of water in her left hand.

Her gaze trembled to see Zhang Wei sitting comfortably.

He was still behaving as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his casual look, once again Yu Lei felt a heart-wrenching pain.

'What did I do, she looks sad and kind of pissed?'

Zhang Wei knitted his brows, he can't continue to act anymore.

He felt this time he had really messed up something bad.

But he had prepared for every possible scenario...

So what can possibly go wrong?

He sighed deeply and approached Yu Lei, taking the water bottle from her he put that aside and looked back at her.

Only when Zhang Wei approached her Yu Lei realized that she carried the raw bottle back to the living room, she did not even put it into a glass.

But right facing his face up so close, something build up inside her that she never thought would... anger...

"What happened to you Yu Lei? Why are you behaving so abnormally?"

His word did not calm her down but added fire to the fuel.

For a moment, her hand quivered ready to hit him, it was such a violent thought that even astonished her.

"It's nothing," said, Yu Lei without a hint of emotion.

Seeing her face, Zhang Wei frowned.

Now, It was clear something was wrong, and she was definitely hiding something from him.

His gaze traveled to her hands, she was carrying a mobile phone on another hand, without saying anything else, he snatched it from her hand.

!!

Yu Lei's eyes widened. "G-Give that back to me!"

She instantly leaped on him to get the phone back, but Zhang Wei was six feet two inches, while she was barely five feet ten inches, with her height it was impossible to take something from his hands.

"Not giving," Zhang Wei spoke playfully and put his hands in the air.

She tried to jump to get the phone back, but it was of no use.

After trying multiple times, she surrendered and stared back at him silently.

After confirming that she had given up, Zhang Wei put his hands down and observed the phone.

He felt as if he has seen it somewhere.

All the mobile phones nearly look the same, so it was hard to identify.

"What is the password?" he asked Yu Lei.

The latter eyes shook heavily, and she shut her lips tightly, not wanting to tell him.

Seeing her persistence, Zhang Wei can only sigh.

Why is she making things more complicated?

But since the phone made Yu Lei struggle so much, he knew it carried some important information.

He can't ignore it.

"Wifey, are you going to tell it to me peacefully or not?"

He asked with a much more assertive tone this time, at the same time, his hand moved behind her back, as he grabbed her soft butt and gave a hard squeeze.

slap*

"S-Stay away from me! A-and don't call me your w-wife!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Wei stared back at her as if looking at a ghost.

Not only did she slap his hand but she was also saying to maintain his distance from her.

Just what exactly did he do to make his peaceful and lovely wife so fierce?

Yu Lei was having a mental breakdown right now, her body trembling constantly, Yu Lei was unable to believe that she hit him.

She had never even raised her voice against him, but today not only she screamed back but also hit him.

It was clear her fierceness was fake, she wasn't the type of woman to maintain that fierce character.

But today only caught in the turmoil of emotions, she said the things she would never say normally even if she is drunk.

Zhang Wei knew he can't easily get the answer out of her mouth.

"W-What!?"

He caught her open shoulders and pushed her body, Yu Lei was astonished by his sudden aggressiveness, her back was directly pushed against the wall.

"LET ME GO, Zhang Wei!!!"

She screamed with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Zhang Wei however won't let her leave, he freed her shoulders and caught both of her fists, then he proceeded to pin her hands above her head.

"L-Let me go..."

Yu Lei screamed once again, but this time her voice grew dimmer with time.

Before long tears build up in her eyes, and she shot a hateful look at him.

"Eh?"

Zhang Wei was stunned by her exaggerated reaction, he knew he did not use much force, so why is she crying?

Regardless, he knew the secret of it lies inside that small electronic gadget.

He pressed Yu Lei's hands further, to the point she can feel some pain.

"I-ASKED-WHAT-IS-THE-PASSWORD-YU LEI!"

Once again, he asked the same question but with a completely emotionless look.

Yu Lei shivered and stopped struggling.

"I-I don't know."

Even after she said that his eyes continued to peer at her making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

There are studies, that any person's brain perceives eye contact longer than ten seconds as either a sign of a threat to the person's life or love.

So depending on the context, Yu Lei's brain was perceiving his long stare as either Zhang Wei wanting to kill her or he loves her.

In the current context, it was definitely the former.

'Why is h-he looking so scary...?'

Yu Lei can't understand the inner workings of her brain, but she knew she was extremely scared of him right now.

She did not like that look at all.

In the end, she surrendered and told the password to Zhang Wei.

The latter instantly freed her hands and unlocked the phone.

Yu Lei after getting freed rubbed her eyes and stared back at him, as he saw him looking through the report and browsing through the same photos again, the anger started to build up.

'Why...?'

She can't understand why Zhang Wei will betray her like this.

Her hands clenched into a fist.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei was astonished because the phone wallpaper was of a woman that he knew of already.

Now that he thinks about it carefully, the phone's back cover is also the same.

His eyes narrowed, and he started browsing through her files.

"Damn!"

He felt extremely angry after seeing the photos, Hao Yue took all the pictures when he wasn't looking.

If he had known about it already, he would deal with it in advance.

He had already admonished that woman once for the same and forbidden her to take any of their pictures.

Little did he know, Hao Yue was doing it in secret.

If that wasn't enough, his mind started to spin after reading her medical report.

'She is pregnant?'

His eyes were glued to the word, 'Positive' on the report.

For a second, his body was frozen.

Huo Yue took the test on 1st March, which was right eleven days before...

Zhang Wei indeed remembers knocking her out on the last day of February.

Since it was the last day of the month, he had planned a date with Yu Lei to spend some time with her, but Yu Lei was unfortunately called by her company due to some work.

Zhang Wei was angered at that time, and he took out his frustration on Huo Yue and knocked her out without any protection.

It was Huo Yue's safe day, so it was highly unlikely for her to conceive, he even secretly made her drink water mixed with a contraception pill.

But looks like, heaven wanted to expose his evil deeds.

The contraceptive pill is 99 effective...

He, unfortunately, fell in that rare 1 category.

After going through all of this, he can understand why even a woman like Yu Lei was angry to this limit.

No, she was still quite calm.

Probably she wasn't even planning to tell him if he hadn't forced her to spill out the beans.

While he was reading the report, Yu Lei's body was shaking uncontrollably, since everything was already in the open, she wanted to confront him.

Tears started to fall from her eyes like water.

Zhang Wei stopped reading and lifted his face to look at her.

Suddenly he heard a weird mechanical voice in his head.

Host detected!

Match: 100

The future host is detected to be in an unsalvageable situation.

Mission Issued!!

A happy wife is equal to a happy life.

Deal with Yu Lei's anger and calm her down, at the same the host has to deal with his problems with Hao Yue.

Depending on the methods used by the host, an appropriate system will be assigned!

Progress: 0

Good luck :D

'What the hell?'

Zhang Wei has forgotten his current problem for now and focused on the words flashing in front of him.

As someone, who had an idea about novels, he knew it was the golden finger that those idiotic simp protagonists get.

But the last sentence bothered him.

'Depending on the methods used by the host, an appropriate system will be assigned!'

'Does it mean, If I bend my knees and apologize right now, then I would get an Honesty system?'

'While, if I ignore Yu Lei and leave the apartment in the thug life, divorcing her, does it means I will get Sigma Male system?'

Reading all of this he can't help but feel angry!

Is he some kind of donkey who will follow wherever the carrot goes?

He won't apologize to Yu Lei.

Rather he is going to make her apologize to him!

Yes!

This must be impossible normally because he was in the wrong and not her.

This must be impossible because he is a male!

While women do it constantly!

They constantly make their partners apologize to them, while they was the one cheating and in fault.

She will say something like, 'You shouldn't have looked through my phone, don't you respect my privacy? I wasn't cheating on you, David! If you never looked at my phone, you would have never found out about him, it's all your fault, why did you look at my phone without my permission, David? etc!'

And that idiots will proceed to bend their knees and apologize, while she was the one who cheated on him.

If the woman can do that, why can't he?

Women can do that because they are manipulative by birth...

But who is Zhang Wei?

He is the God of Manipulation!

A manipulation god, if not for his laziness, he would already have a harem of beauties!

Chapter 4: "You called the police on me!?" (4)

[A/N: For this specific chapter, I would include the extra explanation for any psychology-oriented technique.

Keep in mind, I am only doing this once and won't do it for any other chapter in this novel.

If you want to read a novel like this chapter, which contains the explanation of all these things, refer to my other novel, The Psychopath's Harem.]

...

He is the God of Manipulation!

"Why...?"

When Zhang Wei was thinking of a plan to deal with Yu Lei, she suddenly started murmuring things to herself.

It was a calm before the storm.

Soon her grief would turn into anger...

"Why did you do this with me, Zhang Wei?..."

She spoke weekly tears falling from her eyes.

"What haven't I done for you already?"

"I even give you my half of the salary every month to enjoy?"

"I never restricted you to do anything..."

"I never..."

"So, why?"

"Why did you do this with me?"

The tear-stained beautiful face stared at him for an answer.

Seeing him still silent and neither accepting nor denying her accusations, Yu Lei felt frustrated.

"Why are you silent!"

"Speak to me!"

"Zhang Wei! She was the maid of our house, how can you lay your hands on her!"

"She is pregnant with your child now!!! Just why!!"

Before long Yu Lei was holding onto Zhang Wei's shoulders for support.

"Why did you do this to me ... Zhang *sob* Wei..."

Zhang Wei sighed and caught her shoulders, at the same time Yu Lei rubbed her eyes and stared at him in anticipation and fear.

"I-I D-Don't *sob* want you to leave me..."

His silence felt suffocating to Yu Lei, she did not want to leave Zhang Wei, but as a woman even though she had her pride, she was his legal wife... It was unacceptable to her...

She put her head on his chest and spoke weakly.

"J-Just accept everything Zhang Wei, and apologize, w-we can start this again!"

"I-I *sob* don't want to lose you..."

Zhang Wei stood there emotionlessly like a rock.

To be frank, Zhang Wei felt Yu Lei's demands were lucrative.

She was ready to forgive him even after this...

But Zhang Wei had already come up with a plan.

A plan that can not only save him from this situation but also make her apologize...

He is going to reverse the situation.

"I did not do it," spoke Zhang Wei.

Yu Lei, "Don't lie to me!"

If earlier she was feeling angry, now she was feeling hatred, not only he cheated on her but is also lying.

Just how far he can go?

She wasn't even looking at his face and can tell he was lying.

Don't ask how, she can!

Zhang Wei had already started playing his game.

One of the best ways to catch a liar is to look at his wording while he is pleading for his innocence.

Generally, a liar never says the sentence as 'I didn't do it!'

Rather the lier will say it as 'I did not do it!'

He will speak like some kind of robot, and use long forms like 'Do not' instead of using 'Don't'.

He will use non-contracting statements to defend himself.

Our mind can process these small cues even before we become aware of them.

This is why, sometimes we can tell a person is sad or angry, just by seeing his aura.

Naturally, Zhang Wei was purposely doing it.

Yu Lei can only blame the gods, that she had to be married to a hidden monster like him.

"Why are you lying to m-!!!"

She lifted her face to speak, but the moment she saw him, her words were stuck in her throat.

Zhang Wei was angrily staring at her.

She did not recognize that man at all, he looked foreign.

The anger in his eyes was too much for her to bear.

"D-Don't come near me!"

She was naturally frightened.

Yue Lie stumbled backward as Zhang Wei stepped toward her, his face twisted with anger and madness, his sharp piercing gaze made her soul tremble.

She tried to speak, to plead with him, but he just kept coming, his fists clenched at his sides.

Finally, he forced back her into the corner of the wall, pressing his body close to hers until she could feel the heat of his breath on her face.

She tried to push him away, but he was too strong, too determined to make her suffer.

She could see the anger in his eyes, and the pain that was mirrored there, too.

This was not the Zhang Wei she had known, this was a stranger, consumed by rage and hatred.

What Zhang Wei was doing is called minimization.

Yu Lei might have not noticed, but she was already speaking less than what she doing earlier.

In fact, she wasn't speaking at all.

Zhang Wei was using his body to intimidate her, he spread his body as wide as possible and stared at her without blinking.

Human beings have an instinctual fear of large animals...

This is why, when a person wants to dominate someone and show his aggressiveness, he would often tries to make his figure as big and wide as possible.

Zhang Wei was doing exactly the same, using his huge body to intimidate her.

At the same time, Yu Lei shanked herself in fear.

This was also a natural response of the body to protect its main organs, like the heart, etc.

Whenever we feel fear, we shrink and shield ourselves like a turtle.

"I did not do it," once again he said the same line.

"Y-You are Li-"

Slap*

Before Yu Lei was able to finish her sentence, a crisp slap landed on her face.

Due to the intensity of the slap, Yu Lei's head was slanted to the left side.

For a moment she did not respond and a deathly silence filled the whole place.

"Y-you slapped me...?"

Yu Lei's eyes were dead, as she was unable to believe the reality.

The whole world felt dead to her.

The Zhang Wei in her eyes can never raise his hand on her, let alone slap her.

Yue Lie felt a lump rise in her throat as she realized what had happened.

Finally, she slumped down against the wall, her body wracked with sobs. Zhang Wei stood over her, his face twisted in anger and shame. He knew what he had done was wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to stop here.

He suddenly faked a look of crisis and squatted down near her.

His hands wrapped around the crying Yu Lei, comforting her.

"Uuu*sob*Don't come near me"

"You are not my Zhang Wei."

"You hit me...*sob*"

She tried to push him always, but compared to his physical strength she was lacking.

In the end, she continued to cry while his hands were wrapped around her.

"Leave m-me!"

"I-I don't ... want to live... with you anymore..."

Her words were ignored by him, she kept on complaining and complaining until she had no breath to speak anymore.

"Leave ... Me..."

Her voice became as quiet as a mosquito.

"SHUT UP!"

Suddenly a thunderous voice roared making the air tremble.

Zhang Wei screamed with all his might, to the point Yu Lei flinched in fear, and her voice was instantly silenced.

Her body got as still as a rock and she stopped breathing in fear.

"Why are you forcing me again and again?"

It was Zhang Wei who spoke.

He had silently wiped off the lipstick mark on her face.

"Y-You ... beat ...me..."

Yu Lei said in a mosquito-like voice.

Zhang Wei, "I didn't! You forced me to!"

!!

"I-I forced you..."

She spoke in disbelief.

Zhang Wei inwardly sighed, at least this woman was ready to listen.

During their two years of marriage, he indeed has never used violence against her.

But right now, it was important.

Since Yu Lei was behaving completely emotionally earlier, reasoning her will be idiotic.

The best way to first make her snake out of her daze.

Now, Yu Lei was focused on why he hit her, rather than why he cheated on her...

The topics have been switched...

At least she was ready to listen now...

Zhang Wei can begin the next stage, blaming...

He will shift all the blame to her.

"Yes, you forced me! You were not listening to me at all."

"I-I"

Yu Lei was out of words, she indeed was not listening to him at all.

"B-But y-you..."

"I didn't! I don't have any relations with Huo Yue!"

Before she can finish her words, Zhang Wei interrupted.

Zhang Wei very cleverly used the word 'Didn't', instead of 'do not' to some more assuring and genuine.

Not only that, but he also used the word 'relations' instead of the word 'Affair.'

The latter was a clever example of psychological distancing.

It is often used by criminal lawyers in courtrooms to defend their clients.

Where we substitute the harsher-sounding words with softer-sounding words.

Like, For using the word 'sex', instead of 'ra*e'.

Using the word 'touch', instead of 'molest'.

Not to forget he completely coordinated her words with his body movement.

Spotting a liar can sometimes be easy, they might say they didn't do it, while their body is saying otherwise.

Like, he might be nodding his head in the affirmative, while he is saying, he didn't do it.

Actions like this are easily picked by the next party's brain and give them a hunch that we are lying.

Catching a liar who can sync their body language with their words is very hard.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei was one of those liars.

So for a normal person to catch Zhang Wei lying only by his body language is impossible, he even has a consistent blinking rate.

His actions were very effective since Yu Lei's mind had already started to waver.

"You didn't, then those photos...?"

Even if Yu Lei was madly in love with him, she knew her eyes weren't lying.

She wasn't an idiot.

The moment she said those words, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up. "Did you see me awake in any of those photos? In all the pictures either I was asleep or I wasn't paying attention!"

His words made Yu Lei frown.

She had indeed not seen a single picture like that...

If that wasn't enough evidence already, Zhang Wei had something else.

"Don't you notice it already, Yu Lei? Huo Yue purposely left her phone behind, not only that she even made sure to use a password, that you can easily guess... Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

As if Yu Lei's light bulb had been turned on, she indeed realized there were too many flaws here.

Zhang Wei, "Whom do you trust more Yu Lei, me or her?"

'Whom do I trust more...?'

There was no way Yu Lei needed to think about it, clearly, she trusted Zhang Wei far more than Huo Yue.

At this point, even if Yu Lei was suspicious, her speaking future was akin to not trusting Zhang Wei, this is how you force someone and close their choices.

Zhang Wei was simply outright denying everything.

He was working on a three-stage strategy, minimizing, denying, and blaming.

As for the password being easily guessed by Yu Lei, it was all just a coincidence.

Hao Yue did not plan anything at all.

She indeed forgets her phone by mistake.

No normal person keeps a complicated password on his phone until he/she is dating someone.

So it was normal for Hao Yue to have a simple password.

She wasn't some rich millionaire like Yu Lei, who needed to have a secure phone.

Mission!!

A happy wife is equal to a happy life.

Deal with Yu Lei's anger and calm her down, at the same the host has to deal with his problems with Hao Yue.

Depending on the methods used by the host, an appropriate system will be assigned!

Progress: 20

Yu Lei was already convinced that Huo Yue was planning everything.

Here also there was a small trick.

When we are physically or mentally in pain, we either agree or excessively disagree with someone.

So right now, Yu Lei was excessively in support of Zhang Wei.

While all her anger was channeled to Huo Yue.

Huo Yue was her school rival, so it wasn't strange for her to do something like this, Yu Lei had many experiences with women who tried to steal Zhang Wei from her.

Thinking of all these Yu Lei felt immense anger toward Huo Yue.

She wanted that woman to pay.

Here she provided him with a job out of pity and helped her and that vixen wanted to destroy her own house?

It wasn't just Yu Lei, even Zhang Wei wanted to crush that Huo Lei.

That woman nearly destroyed his lavish life.

After so many years, he has the urge to kill someone more than anything in his life.

He never had truly killed anymore.

Only once, did he push his abusive father back in anger when he was small, then somehow his father ended up slamming his head and dying.

At that time he was only eight years old...

He did not kill his father intentionally, but he indeed has the urge to kill him...

'The lipstick mark?'

Yu Lei remembered the lipstick mark on his face, and her expression turned sour again.

Zhang Wei had loosened the hug, so she easily separated herself from him.

However, when she saw her face she was astonished. "No mark? Was I hallucinating?"

There was no mark anymore on Zhang Wei's face.

It was gone...

Her words were naturally heard by Zhang Wei.

He can't help but pretend to look sad being doubted again and again by her.

"What mark Yu Lei? Are you doubting me again?"

"N-No that's not it..."

Yu Lei felt ashamed because she was indeed doubting him.

Zhang Wei pretended to be hurt.

He shook his head in rejection and laughed at himself.

"After so many years, was such a small thing enough to doubt me, Yu Lei?"

"Is that how you gonna pay for my love and kindness?"

"I saved you so many times during our time in University and this is how you trust me, huh?"

"Even after doing all of the things for you, are still going to doubt me?"

"Who is to blame for all of this...?"

One by one, questions rained on her, and the tears that were dried out started to appear again.

"I-I"

Yu Lei felt an immeasurable amount of guilt.

She indeed directly started accusing him without asking anything...

She unconsciously raised her hands to touch his face, but it was slapped away.

!!

"Why do I feel you trusted Hao Yue more than me, Ye Lei..."

The last bomb he dropped did severe damage to Yu Lei.

The questions like, 'whom do you trust more me or her' are often used by women against men.

And these are highly effective because indirectly it is not a question, but rather an answer in itself.

The guild-ridden Yu Lei was near her breaking point again.

She put her head down in shame and guilt, unable to look into his eyes anymore.

"I...am sorry."

Zhang Wei smiled faintly hearing an apology from her, "It's alright, I will forgive you for today, after all, you are my beautiful wife..."

He hugged her gently, Yu Lei who did not even realize that she was getting played by him, feel even more guilty.

Sigh, if the earlier stuff was not enough Zhang Wei did not forget to play the act of the gracious benefactor in the last sentence.

Mission!

Progress: 40

The notification was ignored by Zhang Wei, and as he continued to comfort Yu Lei, the latter felt more and more pain seeing him all smiling and acting as if nothing happened.

Zhang Wei finally reversed the situation...

He was really a monster hiding on the inside...

His strategy to first minimize, then deny afterward blame everything back on her, and strategy worked perfectly well.

He also heavily relied on the use of the psychological loan sharking method.

In this technique, one person does something small for you, and then he later holds it against you.

It is like giving a loan, whose interest is higher than the principle itself.

This is done by girlfriends mostly.

How often does your girlfriend say something like, 'I stopped wearing small clothes for you, I stopped talking with him for you, I stopped this, I stop that... All for you and you can't even do this for me?'

How often does your wife says, 'I take care of the kids, clean the home, maintain the household, etc... And you can't even do this for me?'

How often do your parents say, 'I paid for your school fees, I fed you, I nourished you to become this big, and that's how you gonna pay us after becoming an adult? Is that how you going to treat us for raising you?'

Haha, the parents one is definitely relatable to each and every Asian alive on this planet.

All of this is nothing but psychological loan sharking.

Here they will make you seem like, as if they have something significant in past, to emotionally hold it against you.

Like they will take small things and exaggerate them, 'I daily take the dog on a walk, I feed him, and wash him, and that's how are you gonna treat me?'

A parent's work is to raise his child, but if he counts it as some kind of favor he is doing to the kid, and later holds it against him then it is psychological manipulation.

Unfortunately, all Asian parents do that.

Manipulation is everywhere around you...

Some people try to use psychological distancing and hide their manipulative tactics in the name of 'Positive Influence...'

Those some peoples are governments, your parents... And many more...

At the end of the day, only we can decide what to do and what not to do...

Just like how Yu Lei decided to be dependent on Zhang Wei.

Ten minutes passed after the incident...

Now both, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei were sitting on the couch, the latter glued to the former body like a cat.

She had no intentions of leaving him any soon...

No one can tell these two people were fighting just some minutes ago.

"Hey, Zhang Wei!"

"What?"

"I need a baby!"

"Mm," Zhang Wei nodded without replying.

Dealing with women in their late twenties is a pain, they always keep whining about having a baby.

"Humph!" Yu Lei snorted softly and turned her head to the other side.

She knew he clearly denied her!

Whatever, she won't let him go easily.

She had no plans to give up any soon.

Knock, Knock*

Just then, someone knocked on the main door.

"Who is coming this late at night?"

Zhang Wei frowned and looked at the time.

It was 10:30 pm, who can possibly come this late at night?

Neighbors...? Impossible!

One of the advantages of living in an expensive apartment is that it's heaven for introverts.

No neighbors disturb each other, they will live next door but probably not care about your existence for the entire year.

They mind their own business...

Nobody wants a luxury like this only to get disturbed, most people only want peace...

Imagine, coming home tired after spending a whole day at your business, and finding a random person knocking at the door, how will it feel?

So Zhang Wei knew it wasn't their neighbors.

To be frank, till now he hasn't even seen his neighbor.

However, when he turned to look at Yu Lei, the woman had subconsciously shrunk her body, as if guilty of another crime.

She even pulled her legs back probably wanting to withhold the information.

"Do you call anyone?" asked, Zhang Wei.

"...En"

Ye Lei nodded after a momentary silence.

"Whom did you call?"

"...H-Helpline."

!!

"You called police on me!?"

Zhang Wei's face twitched unable to restrain his voice.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 5: The fierce police offcer

"You called the police on me?"

Zhang Wei nearly jumped in surprise, he felt he would faint.

Meanwhile, Yu Lei turned her head to the other side and started whistling, pretending to be innocent.

The guilty conscience was written all over her face.

She pouted, "Everything is fine now, just tell them to go and they would shoo away."

Zhang Wei can't help but sigh, "Only if it was that easy..."

"Why? Can't they just leave?" Yu Lei was confused with his radical behavior, but Zhang Wei had all the right to behave like this.

Hanland country was a patriarchal society, but it also has its downsides, and one of the obvious downsides was when it comes to laws related to woman's protection and domestic violence.

The laws in the country were too stringent, now even if Yu Lei herself say everything is fine between them, they would still drag both of them to the police station, and then separate them to question them further.

Why can't they just take Yu Lei's words for granted?

Because there might be a possibility, she is saying all that under the pressure of Zhang Wei.

In the end, Zhang Wei can only look at Yu Lei and sigh again.

"What did you say to them?"

Yu Lei, "Nothing!"

"I only called them in panic, when you were punching the door. After calming down I instantly cut the line, but they must have heard your screams from the outside of the door."

Zhang Wei rubbed his forehead, he can't help but curse himself.

Looking at the finger marks on Yu Lei's face, it was clear she has been hit by someone.

And who else was present in the room other than him?

If there was no finger marks on her face, he can tell Yu Lei, a self-created story that she can say in the interrogation to easily get away, but now things were too complicated.

He instantly took his phone and left a message for one of his contacts.

Yu Lei only saw him texting someone and did not speak.

She was feeling quite guilty about it but seeing him all panicked, she felt a bit funny.

To add fire to the fuel, she hugged his hand, until both of her breasts were pressing against his skin, her eyes stared at him with tenderness, "You can handle this, right? You have always handled my troubles after all!"

When she spoke, she sounded some kind of frantic fangirl of Zhang Wei.

The latter eyes twitched in anger, isn't she becoming too dependent on him?

Let alone handle her all troubles, if she dares to do anything else for today, he would kick her out of the house.

He shot a look at her as if telling, 'You will pay for this one.' and moved to the main door.

The door was being knocked so hard, that he feared that would force their way in if he doesn't open it as soon as possible.

Click*

"Why are they taking so much time? Should we break in?" Huang Kai spoke with indignation.

"Chief Kai, let me try it."

A woman wearing a black leather jacket stepped up, it was cold at the night, so it was justifiable for her to wear a jacket.

But the strange thing was she was wearing shorts, that barely covered her knees, so more than half of her legs were bare naked.

The night in the city is usually very cold, so her clothes were too strange, was she not feeling cold at all?

This fearsome woman goes by the name Leng Yan in the city.

Leng Yan was a stunningly beautiful woman, with piercing purple eyes and wild, purple hair that framed her delicate features in a way that was both fierce and alluring. Her lithe frame moved with feline grace, and every action she took was imbued with a sense of purpose that left no doubt as to her abilities.

Despite her fearsome reputation, there was a certain vulnerability to her as well, a softness that only those closest to her were privileged to see.

Leng Yan was the deputy bureau chief of the public security bureau (PSB), while Huang Kai was the chief of the police station of Qingyun city.

On the surface, both the Public secure bureau and the police are the same to the civilians, but the former holds much more extensive rights as compared to the police department.

Both of them were overqualified to respond to a random helpline call, even if Yu Lei was a rich woman, at most Deputy Chief of the station will come to deal with her case, and not the chief himself.

It wasn't something planned, both Leng Yan and Huang Kai were strolling the city while discussing some matters, coincidentally a helpline call was received from the southern heights which was close to them.

So they chose to respond to the call and come here directly.

"I am going to break the door!" Leng Yan spoke while maintaining some distance from the door, she was ready to break in since no one was responding.

Huang Kai sighed, "Can't we behave a bit more politely?"

Leng Yan, "No it's too late already."

If they waited for any more minutes, it meant someone's life would get in danger.

Leng Yan instantly gathered all the strength in her legs, ready to kick the door away.

Huang Kai was amazed by this woman's strength, the door was of very good quality, and it was not something that can be broken with a casual kick, yet Leng Yan was ready to break it.

"Here I go!"

Right when she was about to destroy the public property, the door opened with a click.

"How may I help you?"

Zhang Wei said with a smile, he was not fazed by the fact that a woman was pointing a leg at him.

His eyes can even see her black lace panties, which were visible through the gap between their legs, yet he did not blush like some kind of Japanese protagonist and continued to feast on his eyes.

Leng Yun frowned because the man in front of her was not only not fazed by her appearance, rather he was constantly starting a certain spot, following his gaze she can't help but curse. "Shameless!"

"No-No, Miss Police officer, cursing at civilians can land you in jail, in the worst case they might even strip you of your rank."

Zhang Wei not only did not apologize but also morally preached to her.

"Y-You!" Leng Yan's face got red in anger, she stood there in disbelief, she was already ready to beat this shameless man to educate him of his place.

However, before she can take a step forward, chief Kai stepped in and saved Zhang Wei from a beating.

In all honesty, Zhang Wei would have been beaten badly by this woman, compared to her strength, he was nowhere close, but this was something he was unaware of.

He can even sense some bad vibes coming from this woman.

But he was purposefully pissing her off, to the point, she would beat him.

He can use this later against her.

Zhang Wei was clever, his plans were always executed so smoothly that no one was able to see what lies beneath his smiling face.

However, his plan failed because of an idiotic side character today.

Huang Kai stopped Leng Yan in time, they were supposed to maintain law and order, and not disrupt it.

Leng Yan had a big background, she can get away with it easily, but the same can't be said for him, if the news gets out that a civilian was beaten by the accomplice of the chief of the station, then he might be demoted or fired.

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes, he does like someone destroying his plans.

Huang Kai felt a piercing gaze on him, but by the time he looked at the source, Zhang Wei was already back to his smiling face.

"Wait! How do you know we are from the police?"

Leng Yan said with suspicion, till now they haven't revealed their identities, and both were not wearing any uniforms, so for Zhang Wei to identify her was strange.

"My wife called you, how can I not know of it? Who else is going to knock on my door this late at night? Does Miss police officer goes around randomly knocking on her neighbors' door at night?"

The words were said and the damage had been done, but the smile on Zhang Wei's face had not even changed from beginning to end.

The insult hits the hardest when the person insulting you does it with a straight face, like some kind of smiling insulter.

"You Brat!!"

"You better pray I never found you guilty of any crime, else I would make your life worse than hell in the jail cell."

Leng Yan caught his collar, she was about to hit him again, just how can someone have this sharp tongue?

Zhang Wei sighed not fazed at all, "Oh I see... Misusing your authority again... Sigh, police nowadays."

His words caused lines to appear on Leng Yan's forehead, she nearly exploded from anger.

"Deputy Chief Leng wait! He might be trying to distract us and stall time. You should be more careful."

Leng Yan halted her actions, and Huang Kai's words made sense.

She left his collar and snorted. "You have good luck brat."

"I am older than you, little girl." Zhang Wei corrected her while fixing his shirt.

From her appearance, she does not look any older than twenty-two or twenty-three years of age.

However, Huang Kai's words took him by surprise, he can't help but be more careful.

Huang Kai referred to Leng Yan as deputy chief, with her temper and age, it was impossible for her to attain this by herself, it meant she had a big background.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 6: Taken to the Police Station

"I am older than you, little girl," Zhang Wei corrected, straightening his shirt with a smirk.

Leng Yan wanted to put him in his place, but her attention was diverted to a gruesome sight.

"You beast!" she seethed, storming inside. Zhang Wei simply yawned, unfazed by her insults. He didn't have a thick skin, he just knew why she called him that.

Huang Kai was disturbed by Leng Yan's panicked tone and, upon entering the room, his eyes widened in anger at the sight of the youth in front of him. Meanwhile, Zhang Wei waited patiently for the drama inside to unfold.

Yu Lei tried to explain that the call was an accident and that she didn't need any help, but Leng Yan was quick to cut her off. She had already noticed the bruises on Yu Lei's face and, in her eyes, Zhang Wei was the culprit.

In the end, Yu Lei surrendered and agreed to go with them to the police station for questioning. She came out wearing a black jacket to cover her exposed skin and was accompanied by Leng Yan, whose gaze never left Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei could only shrug and follow them, while Huang Kai seemed like a mere follower of Leng Yan. He didn't want to converse with Zhang Wei, or maybe he just didn't trust him.

"Come with us," Huang Kai ordered, following after Leng Yan and Yu Lei. Zhang Wei shook his head but trailed behind them, his mind already devising a plan to teach this lady police officer a lesson.

From Leng Yan's hateful glare, it was clear she would do everything in her power to lock him up. He lazily dragged his body and soon they arrived at an Audi R8 with a sleek, black exterior. It wasn't the usual police car, but Zhang Wei couldn't help but smirk at the thought of arriving at the station in style.

The sleek black exterior of the Audi R8 and the bright red and blue emergency lights on the roof and front of the car signaled to all those in the vicinity that the police were on the move. Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow at the sight of the luxurious vehicle being used for police work. He couldn't help but wonder if the woman, Leng Yan, was too privileged for such a job.

As they got in the car, Zhang Wei noticed that it had only two seats, both of which were occupied by Leng Yan and Yu Lei. It became even more apparent that Leng Yan had a powerful background.

Soon an junior ranking officer came with another four seater car, Huang Kai sat in the passenger seat, while Zhang Wei took the whole backseat for himself.

Zhang Wei sat slouched in the back seat of the car, his arms crossed over his chest as he glared at the two police officers in front of him. Despite the seriousness of the situation, his face remained calm and composed, betraying none of the fear or anxiety he felt inside.

As they drove, Huang Kai couldn't help but comment on Zhang Wei's carefree attitude. "You have guts to be this carefree."

Zhang Wei smiled faintly and began to speak. "In a tough world, being carefree is my way of surviving. I've overcome my fears, and now I live my life without worry. I take risks, challenge authority, and do the impossible. My carefree attitude shows my strength, and anyone who stands in my way will face consequences."

Zhang Wei's words shook Huang Kai to the core. He had underestimated this young man, and soon he started asking him various questions, to which Zhang Wei politely answered. In the dimly lit car, Zhang Wei's words rang out with a quiet confidence that filled the air with an electric tension. His every syllable dripped with a steely resolve, a warning to anyone who dared challenge him.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Wei's face remained calm and composed, betraying none of the fear or anxiety he felt inside. His words were a battle of wills playing out before him, and he was determined not to back down.

Huang Kai sighed, realizing that he couldn't easily leave the case since Zhang Wei had offended Leng Yan. He tried to question Zhang Wei in all ways possible, but the latter avoided his questions like a skilled politician. Huang Kai knew that solving the case was the only way out.

As the car pulled into the police station, Huang Kai could feel the tension rising. He knew that Zhang Wei would not leave the interrogation room easily, especially after offending Leng Yan.

After an hour-long ride, they finally arrived in downtown Qingyun City, a sprawling metropolis divided into various districts. It was a city that never slept, with neon lights illuminating the night sky and the hustle and bustle of people going about their business.

As they pulled up to the police station, the imposing concrete walls and metal gates loomed over them, casting eerie shadows across the streets. The time was 11:45 pm, and the atmosphere was tense and charged, crackling with urgency.

Inside the building, officers rushed to and fro with a sense of purpose, their radios crackling with messages that demanded their immediate attention. Detectives huddled around their desks, piecing together clues and sifting through evidence like a complex jigsaw puzzle, anticipating the unknown with a sense of urgency.

Despite the late hour, the station shone like a beacon of light, a symbol of security and protection for those who sought justice with fervor. It was a place where the innocent sought refuge and the guilty met their fate.

But for those who dared to cross the line, the station was a place of fear and dread, where justice was served with a swift and final hand. There were no appeals, no second chances, only the cold, hard reality of the law.

Yet, amidst all the seriousness and pain, the police station remained a poetic refrain, a testament to the power and authority that kept the city safe with unwavering sincerity. It was a place of honor and duty, where the brave men and women who served the city stood tall and proud, ready to face whatever challenges came their way.

Zhang Wei felt like a prisoner as he was escorted directly to the interrogation room. He waited outside while Leng Yan chatted with Yu Lei, feeling like he was at the mercy of these two women. When they finished their conversation, Yu Lei apologized with a smile for the trouble she caused him. She had told the truth to the police, just as Zhang Wei had instructed her to do. He didn't want her to get caught up in any complicated storylines that she might forget and mess everything up. By telling the truth, he earned her goodwill and enhanced her trust in him.

Before stepping into the interrogation room, Zhang Wei threw a provocative look at Leng Yan, knowing it was akin to committing suicide by angering her further. Leng Yan snorted in anger as she glared at him with disgust.

Inside the dimly lit interrogation room, Zhang Wei sat with a cold demeanor while the lady officer questioned him relentlessly. He remained unimpressed and unyielding, sitting stoically and not expressing any emotion. The officer's voice was firm and strong, but Zhang Wei simply hummed along and stared at a spot on the wall, giving nothing away no matter how she prodded.

Despite the officer's best efforts to break through his icy front, Zhang Wei remained a silent enigma. She tried to chip away at his stone face, but he remained stoic in his own space, his cool demeanor a mask that shielded him from her interrogation.

Zhang Wei's attitude was just a facade, a story untold.

Every time Zhang Wei told her the same story, Leng Yan gritted her teeth in anger. The story was identical to the one Yu Lei had told her, flawlessly executed. Yu Lei had declined to press charges against him, so Leng Yan struggled to find a reasonable excuse to incarcerate him.

"So, you're claiming that Huo Xue was behind all of this, extorting money from you?" Leng Yan inquired, her eyebrows twitching.

Zhang Wei nodded, pushing all of the blame onto Huo Xue. According to him, she had purposefully orchestrated everything to extort money from him and Yu Lei. Furthermore, Huo Yue's previous rivalry with Yu Lei made the story more plausible.

"What about the pregnancy report?" Leng Yan asked, disgust evident in her eyes.

"It's a fake," Zhang Wei replied nonchalantly. "Anyone can create a forged report by bribing a doctor, can't they?"

His rhetorical question made Leng Yan frown; this wasn't something she wanted to comment on. "Why are you so interested in my personal life, Officer Leng? Even if Huo Xue were carrying my child, you would have no right to detain me over it. It's a private matter between me and my wife."

He had already provided a valid explanation for his hitting Yu Lei, which was simply to pacify her. Leng Yan was now in danger of violating the law by detaining him any further, particularly considering that Yu Lei supported him.

Chapter 7: Threatening Leng Yan

Leng Yan couldn't argue with Zhang Wei any further. This man was a genius at reasoning, but she had a gut feeling that something was off. However, she couldn't pry into their personal married life. He was detained for domestic violence, and now, after recording their statements, it was pointless to detain them any longer.

"...Since that Huo Xue planned everything against you, do you want to file a case against her?" Leng Yan asked, with a smirk. If what he was saying was true, he wouldn't hesitate to take legal action.

Leng Yan suspected that he was cheating on his wife with Huo Yue, as men having an affair with their maids was common. But to her surprise, Zhang Wei nodded without a flinch. "Indeed, file a case against her. Make sure to send a notice to her house."

His words triggered Leng Yan's anger. "Don't tell me what to do!"

The game was not going as she had thought. Was this man really innocent? After an hour of grilling, she allowed them to leave.

"Hey," Yu Lei called out to Zhang Wei as they stepped outside.

"I am sorry..." She spoke with sadness in her voice.

Seeing that woman getting aggressive against him, truly angered her. If Leng Yan didn't have a background, Yu Lei wouldn't hesitate to call Lin Ruoxi, the president of the company, for help. She wanted that police officer to suffer!

Huang Kai was ready to drop them off, believing that Zhang Wei was innocent and that there was nothing hidden in his words. Leng Yan, however, looked unconvinced, her face showing reluctance to let him leave. She wanted to question him further, but doing so would go against the code. She found his behavior mysterious and strange, as he seemed a bit too calm.

As they prepared to leave, Zhang Wei insisted on taking a cab to the house, not wanting to linger around Leng Yan any longer. After Yu Lei was seated in the cab, Zhang Wei turned around to get in, but Leng Yan's voice stopped them.

"Wait!" she called out.

"Hmm...?" Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. "What happened, Officer Leng? By chance, did you fall in love with me and can't bear to part anymore?"

His words elicited no reaction from her, but Yu Lei rolled her eyes and pouted, clearly annoyed with Zhang Wei's antics. It seemed he was purposely trying to provoke Leng Yan.

The latter understood this and did not react to his provocation. "Yu Lei told me that you had a lipstick mark when you came in, but then it wasn't present anymore... What about it?" she questioned him out of the blue.

Zhang Wei narrowed his gaze and dropped the honorifics. "It has nothing to do with our case. Aren't you getting too personal, miss?" he said.

Leng Yan nodded, a victorious smile on her face. Finally, she had found something to expose this man. "You're right. It has nothing to do with me. But what about her?" She pointed to Yu Lei.

Yu Lei stuck her head out of the window and curiously glanced at him, waiting for an answer. Whatever she saw was indeed an illusion. But then, what about the previous times? She had seen similar things multiple times, yet he always avoided answering her. She wasn't doubting him; rather, it was strange for her to have so many illusions.

Zhang Wei felt tongue-tied, and for a moment, his face showed hesitation. "She is ill," he said, briefly checking Yu Lei's reaction.

The latter was confused. "I am ill?" she asked.

"What type of illness does she have that she isn't aware of?" Leng Yan asked, caught off guard.

"She has psychosis. She sees illusions," Zhang Wei replied faintly, pulling out his phone. It carried Yu Lei's medical report, dated 1st March 2022, which was a year ago.

Leng Yan's expression turned ugly, as if she had asked something she shouldn't have. She saw Yu Lei retract her head back and close the windows with an indiscernible expression on her face. However, Leng Yan suddenly remembered Zhang Wei's words and decided to use them against him. "Anyone can fake a medical report, right?"

Since Leng Yan was still doubtful of him, Zhang Wei was helpless. He couldn't help but speak out. "Say, woman, are your eyes made of stones? Can't you see the report is one year old? Why are you so focused on me? You clearly belong to a big family. Why don't you leave this menial work to competent people and go and enjoy your family wealth?"

Leng Yan felt her nostrils flare up in anger at his words. It wasn't the first time someone had mentioned her family background, so she managed to remain quite collected. "You certainly have a sharp tongue. Don't you fear the deputy chief of the public security bureau?" she asked, indicating that she would let him off for now.

Zhang Wei smiled, knowing that he had hit a sore spot. "Why? Are you going to use your authority to threaten me again? Or maybe resort to violence? Let me remind you that it's illegal to hit a civilian, Miss," he said, appearing calm but inwardly shaken. "So, you're not just a police officer, but a deputy of the PSB," he added, reevaluating his opinion of her. "You're not just rich, but very rich and powerful!"

"I can indeed hit you," Leng Yan responded.

"Ah, so you're going to resort to illegal measures now?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Maybe," Leng Yan replied.

"Hmm... So we're going to play dirty. That's quite alright with me, Miss Lady Officer, but have you considered the consequences?" he threatened.

"What consequences?" Leng Yan was amused by his bravado.

Zhang Wei stepped forward until their faces were just inches apart. "Consequences? I don't resort to illegal measures unless the other person is playing fair. But if you're going to play dirty, don't blame me for going all out. I am a man with nothing to lose, but I can guarantee I'll force you to lose everything. I wonder who will come out on top in this fight - the one with everything to lose or the one with nothing in sight? Isn't it intriguing, Ms. Officer? Care to join in and see who emerges victorious at the end of the day?" Leng Yan was left stunned by his words. For the first time in her entire career, someone had dared to openly threaten her.

Meanwhile, Huang Kai was sweating in panic. "'Has this guy lost his mind? Can't he just leave peacefully?' he thought.

After recovering from her daze, Leng Yan moved her legs, attempting to lock Zhang Wei's ankle. However, he managed to twist his legs to the side and avoid her attack. But then, with lightning speed, her legs shifted to another side and struck his other leg.

As Zhang Wei fell to the ground, Leng Yan caught his clothes to prevent him from falling backwards and stared into his eyes. "Apparently, I won your little game," she said with a smug smile on her face.

Zhang Wei frowned. Her movements had been too fast and inhumanly precise.

On the other hand, Huang Kai shook his head as if he had expected this outcome.

Finally, Leng Yan pulled Zhang Wei forward and helped him to his feet. This time, it was Zhang Wei who moved. His movements were not inhumane, but much faster than those of an ordinary person. He caught her waist with one hand and grabbed a handful of her fleshy butt with the other. The distance between them was only a few inches, so he easily managed to pull this small trick. "Now we're equal!" he said, then hurriedly left before the woman could recover from her daze.

He didn't want to get beaten by her - Leng Yan's strength had surpassed his imagination. What Zhang Wei had done was a huge gamble, but it showed his intent. If Leng Yan went for a dirty game without rules, he was more than willing to accompany her. He used his actions to prove his words.

'Can't believe that someone dared to tease the tigress,' Huang Kai muttered to himself as he walked away. He knew better than to stick around and witness Leng Yan's reaction.

Meanwhile, Leng Yan was left standing there, processing what had just happened. She couldn't believe that she had let her guard down and allowed Zhang Wei to catch her off guard. It was a new experience for her to be on the receiving end of such behavior.

As she got into her car, Leng Yan couldn't help but smile to herself. She had to admit that Zhang Wei's little act of rebellion had amused her. She had always appreciated a challenge, and it seemed like he was up for it.

But at the same time, Leng Yan knew that she couldn't let her guard down. Zhang Wei was unpredictable, and she didn't know what he was capable of. She had to keep her wits about her and be ready for anything.

As she drove away, Leng Yan couldn't help but think about Zhang Wei's words. He had promised to go all out if she decided to play dirty, and she had a feeling that he meant it. She knew that she was dealing with a formidable opponent, and she was ready to face the challenge head-on.

"I'll be ready for you, Zhang Wei," Leng Yan said to herself as she drove away. "Let's see who comes out on top in this little game of ours."

Chapter 8: Jasmine

Zhang Wei sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, watching the passing city lights, while his wife, Yu Lei, sat beside him in silence, staring blankly out of the window. After what felt like hours, she finally spoke up.

"Zhang Wei, am I ill?"

Her question was self-explanatory, as she already knew the answer.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and nodded. "You've already heard it."

During this time, Yu Lei had searched for what psychosis is; it appeared to be a state of disconnection from reality.

"Does this mean that I always live within my own illusory world? Is everything I see nothing but an illusion?" she asked, her legs trembling in panic, while her upper body remained still.

Zhang Wei noticed her condition and extended his hands, placing them above her thighs, which instantly stopped her legs from shaking, and she looked at him.

"Why didn't you tell me already?" she asked, her voice hoarse and finding it difficult to talk.

Zhang Wei smiled and asked, "How are you feeling right now?"

"But that has nothing to do with my question!" she rebutted.

Zhang Wei replied, "It does. Just tell me, how are you feeling right now?"

This made Yu Lei fall silent, and she thought deeply. She realized that she was feeling sad.

Not only sad, but also consumed with fear.

Her old self was beginning to surface again, the one she had worked so hard to bury deep within.

Before Zhang Wei came into her life, she was merely a beautiful, quiet girl who sometimes found happiness in fleeting moments.

But now, she had transformed into a confident and composed leader, capable of managing a multinational organization with ease.

Her metamorphosis from a normal girl to a commanding figure, capable of leading thousands, was all due to him.

Yet, now someone was telling her that all of this was an illusion?

Her heart was filled with uncertainty and she didn't know how to react.

Terror consumed her when the thought crossed her mind that even Zhang Wei might be an illusion.

She clutched her head, eyes wide with terror. "No... no... no... this can't be true... it's not an illusion!" she muttered, as if possessed by some kind of ghost.

Zhang Wei sighed, then took her into his warm embrace. "It's not an illusion, I'm real, and everything you see is real too! You're not ill, so stop thinking about it."

After comforting her for a few minutes, Yu Lei slowly began to return to her normal self.

The taxi driver cast a brief glance at the couple, then let out a heavy sigh. He had grown accustomed to witnessing such dramas.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei felt a pang of guilt for putting her through such an ordeal.

The truth was that she was not ill at all, but in fact, better than ever.

The medical report was nothing but a fabrication, which he had created with the help of his university friend, Jasmine.

Jasmine was an exotic beauty from the western side of the world, currently working as a scientist and a doctor, specializing in human anatomy.

Zhang Wei had instructed her to prepare the false report in advance, and with her extensive connections, it had been a simple task to pull off.

Even if Yu Lei questioned him further, he could always claim that they had indeed undergone a test, but she had simply forgotten about it.

If the name Jasmine were to be mentioned, Yu Lei would instantly recognize it.

Just like Hao Yue, Jasmine was also one of her rivals.

Yu Lei met Jasmine for the first time in Qingyun University.

Unlike her rivalry with Hao Yue, the animosity between Yu Lei and Jasmine was intense. Jasmine constantly sought to steal Zhang Wei away from her, and it was only thanks to Zhang Wei's intervention that the situation did not escalate into violence.

Unbeknownst to Yu Lei, Zhang Wei had cleverly turned this situation to his advantage. After they were married, Jasmine contacted him and offered him money to divorce Yu Lei. However, her true intention was to cause as much pain as possible to Yu Lei, rather than actually winning Zhang Wei for herself.

Even Zhang Wei himself was unaware of the true reasons behind Jasmine's hostility towards Yu Lei. Instead of flatly rejecting her offer, Zhang Wei agreed to gradually distance himself from Yu Lei, while making her more emotionally attached to him than ever before. Jasmine agreed to these terms, but Zhang Wei added that she would have to help him whenever he needed it.

Naturally, Jasmine agreed to these conditions, since she had already planned to assist him. This was how Zhang Wei came to have the contact of the exotic beauty who had created the fake medical report that he used to control Yu Lei.

Just as they were leaving for the police station, Zhang Wei messaged Jasmine and asked her to send him the fabricated medical report that she had created a year ago. This document became Zhang Wei's trump card to maintain control over Yu Lei. Even if she were to catch him sleeping with another woman, he could simply deny it and say that it was all her imagination.

Although Zhang Wei had wanted to tell Yu Lei about her condition for a long time, he had been waiting for the right opportunity. Today, the opportunity had presented itself, and he had seized it. As far as he was concerned, having a backup plan like the forged medical reports was crucial for any man who had thoughts of having multiple partners, as it could even protect him from the police.

Crafting fake medical reports of mental illness can be a life-saving measure, even in the face of legal troubles.

It can save your ass, even against the police.

[Note: Ahem, this is author's self made trick, he personally uses it, please don't spread among others and keep it to yourself.]

The question of whether Zhang Wei was merely a puppet of Jasmine remained.

But the truth was far more complex, for he was using her to his own end.

Why else would he stall for time?

When Yu Lei was weeping, he captured a photo and sent it to Jasmine with the message, "Work has begun..."

Zhang Wei was manipulating Jasmine.

Even if someone offered him billions of HLD, he would not abandon Yu Lei, a perfect target for his twisted desires.

Could he find another woman so exquisitely suited to his taste?

It seemed unlikely.

Yu Lei was not one to be driven by emotion.

Even when she discovered that Hao Yue was pregnant with Zhang Wei's child, she did not confront him directly.

She was shrewd and knew when and what to say.

She was not rash, but thoughtful, obedient and entirely dependent on him.

Why would he abandon someone like Yu Lei for Jasmine?

Jasmine was just another tool to improve his control over Yu Lei and fully conquer her mind.

Zhang Wei was a terrible monster lurking beneath a mask of civility...

He played not only with Yu Lei, but also with Jasmine, to achieve his twisted objectives.

The darkness within him was enough to consume the world.

Yu Lei understood that Zhang Wei was merely trying to comfort her with his words.

She didn't want to disappoint him, so she put on a brave face.

Zhang Wei could only shake his head; perhaps he was overdoing it, but he couldn't turn back now.

"Look at yourself now, how do you feel after learning about your condition? Do you know why I kept it from you? ... I don't want to see you sad, Yu Lei..."

Yu Lei's fake smile faded and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Wei's words had shaken her to the core.

To think that he would go to such lengths to maintain her happiness, and she had doubted him...

She hugged him tightly, "Don't ever leave me, Zhang Wei..."

Zhang Wei smiled and patted her back, but Yu Lei looked up at him and shook her head.

"No! You can't leave me in the future just because I'm ill!"

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, "Are you commanding me?"

"No... I'm begging you..." Yu Lei replied without hesitation.

Her eyes implored him to stay with her.

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded. "Yes, I won't leave you."

Yu Lei felt her heart lift at his answer; she had been afraid that Zhang Wei would abandon her after what had happened today.

Zhang Wei allowed her to embrace him for a while, comforting her as he explained her condition. He assured her that it wasn't extreme, just a series of illusions that were triggered by her insecurities.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lei felt a sense of relief wash over her, but also a tinge of guilt. Was she truly this insecure, to the point of hallucinating about her beloved Zhang Wei?

Normally, she would have questioned such a phenomenon, but her mind was clouded with thoughts of him. Every word that he spoke, she absorbed and accepted without hesitation. If he claimed that her illusions were related to him, she would believe it without any further inquiry.

Yu Lei resolved never to doubt Zhang Wei again, and to follow his advice and lead in all matters, including her own desires to have children. She didn't want to risk pushing him away with her own dramas.

As their conversation came to a close, Yu Lei realized it was already 1:00 AM and they had arrived at their apartment building.

Chapter 9: "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Zhang Wei and Yu Lei woke up to the soft glow of the morning sun filtering through their sheer curtains. The air was cool and crisp, hinting at the coming of autumn. Zhang Wei stretched his arms, feeling his muscles come alive after a good night's sleep. He glanced over at Yu Lei, who was still curled up under the duvet, her hair falling in loose waves around her face.

He smiled at the sight of her, feeling a warmth spread through his chest. He leaned in and brushed a gentle kiss on her forehead, causing her to stir slightly. She turned over, her eyes still closed, and snuggled closer to him. They lay like that for a few moments, enjoying the simple pleasure of being close to each other.

Eventually, they both got up. Zhang Wei made coffee while Yu Lei prepared breakfast, whipping up some eggs and stir fired-vegetables.

As they sat at the dining table sipping coffee, Zhang Wei's mind was elsewhere. He received a text from an unknown number early that morning - it was from Hao Yue, the woman he had been seeing on the side. She said she had left her phone in the kitchen the day before and asked Zhang Wei to retrieve it before Yu Lei found it.

Zhang Wei texted her back, lying that Yu Lei had already discovered the phone and its contents. Hao Yue was immediately panicked, her fingers trembling as she typed. But Zhang Wei reassured her that he had taken care of Yu Lei and instructed her to meet him at Ghostly Pass on the Northern outskirts of the city as soon as possible.

He would leave to meet her once Yu Lei left for work. Hao Yue agreed after some hesitation, suspicious of the meeting location in the North District when both of them lived in the South.

However unlike Zhang Wei, Hao Yue can't afford to live in luxurious Southern heights area.

Traveling from the northern part of the city to the southern end could take up to two hours in moderate traffic, making it a lengthy and time-consuming journey.

So it made no sense for her to come all the way to north district.

Zhang Wei explained that they needed a place without any cameras to avoid suspicion, and he shared the story that he had told Yu Lei. He also added that Yu Lei had filed a legal case against Hao Yue for extortion, and she might receive a notice from the police station soon. Although the case was filed by Zhang Wei with the help of Leng Yan, he lied and needed to keep up the charade.

To meet and plan their next move, they needed a place with no surveillance, and Zhang Wei suggested the Northern Qingyun Highway. Although Hao Yue felt relieved by Zhang Wei's excuse, she also panicked at the thought of legal trouble she might face. She agreed to meet him at the highway, located in the northern region of Qingyun City exit that linked it to Xianghui. This stretch of road was notorious for being dangerous, with a mountainous area nearby completely devoid of any security cameras. The lack of surveillance posed a significant threat to drivers, making it a prime spot for illegal activities and potential accidents.

The Ghostly Pass was a treacherous stretch of mountain road in the northern region of Qingyun City, known for its ghost sightings and unexplainable accidents. Dense fog often engulfed the road, reducing visibility to almost zero, making it even more dangerous for travelers. The road was narrow, winding, and steep, with sharp turns that required drivers to be extra cautious. The pass was also devoid of any security cameras, and the only safety measures in place were a few rusted guardrails that barely provided any protection.

Adding to the ominous nature of the pass was a death cliff located on one side of the road, a steep drop of hundreds of feet that had claimed numerous lives over the years. Locals believed that the cliff was cursed and that the ghosts of the deceased haunted the pass. The Death Cliff at Ghostly Pass loomed ominously over the treacherous jade waters of the Jade River Valley Waterfall, where the water's strength was so overwhelming that anything that fell into it was swept away, never to be seen again. It served as a reminder of the deadly consequences that awaited those who did not exercise caution.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei called a transportation company in Xianghui City, having properly devised a plan to dispose of Hao Yue in his mind.

Yu Lei was preparing breakfast, but Hao Yue hadn't arrived yet. She even wished she wouldn't see the latter's face. Hao Yue didn't dare to come today without prior confirmation. After all, if Yu Lei found out about her relationship with Zhang Wei, it would be a catastrophe if they met in person.

After talking with Zhang Wei, Hao Yue realized her fear had turned out to be true. Yu Lei had indeed found out about them, so she made the right decision not to come to work today.

After finishing his coffee, Zhang Wei stood up and walked to the kitchen. The dining area, living space, and kitchen were seemingly connected, and within a few steps, he arrived in the kitchen.

Yu Lei was making her custom made recipe of congee for breakfast since she would have to leave for the office soon. Making anything complicated would be too time-consuming, and Zhang Wei was fine with it. Yu Lei was a good cook. She was wearing a sheer black apron that clung to her curves, revealing a hint of skin beneath and leaving little to the imagination. Her back was completely exposed, a smooth expanse of skin that begged to be touched. The way the light played across her bare flesh was mesmerizing, and he couldn't tear his gaze away.

"Hmm?" Zhang Wei was amused by this woman's bravery. They were living alone, so it was fine even if she went naked without any clothes. But wearing this while cooking? What exactly did this woman want?

He snuck up behind her and caught her slender waist.

"Are you trying to seduce me, wife?" he whispered, his hot breath tickling her ear.

Yu Lei felt a tingling sensation spread through her body, and she couldn't help but melt into his embrace.

"I-I am not!" she protested weakly, her blushing face betraying her true intentions.

Zhang Wei knew that body temperature is one of the independent determinants of heart rate, and respiratory rate, with approximately 1 celcius increase in the temperature causing, heart rate to to increase by 10 beats per minute, and so does the rapid breathing.

He could tell that Yu Lei was genuinely embarrassed by her rising body heat.

But she wasn't always shy when it came to expressing her love. Sometimes, she could be rather bold. Like right now.

She switched off the gas sneakily, completely willing to take things to the next level...

Zhang Wei could only shake his head at her antics.

He grabbed her face and turned it towards him, kissing her passionately.

Yu Lei was momentarily stunned, but then she relaxed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhang Wei flicked the apron off her body with a single deft movement, then began to suck on her lips.

"Mngh...ngh..." Yu Lei moaned as she felt his hands roam across her back, then sneakily move down to her plump buttocks.

Before long, she could feel a hot sensation building between her legs.

Her eyes opened wide, and she tried to push him away. "H-Husband, not here..."

But Yu Lei soon realized that she was going to have to pay for her bravery today.

She had dared to schedule a lone man to come to the house, and she thought she could get away with it without repercussions? She wanted to suggest moving somewhere else, but Zhang Wei could already feel his manhood straining against his pants.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Chapter 10: *Yu Lei*

As Zhang Wei continued to kiss her, Yu Lei's resistance began to weaken.

She could feel the heat rising between them, and the primal desire taking over her body.

He pressed her closer, and their bodies were now tightly intertwined.

His hands were now exploring every inch of her curves, his touch eliciting soft moans from her lips.

Yu Lei's own hands moved to his hair, gripping it tightly as she kissed him back with equal intensity.

She could feel his hardness pressing against her, and the sensation sent shivers down her spine.

Their kissing became more heated and urgent, as if they were trying to devour each other. The air around them was filled with their heavy breathing and soft moans.

Zhang Wei then lifted her up and placed her on the kitchen counter, his hands moving to her bare naked breasts.

Her pink nipples become the victim of his hungry gaze.

He leaned down, taking one of her nipples in his mouth, while his hand massaged the other. Yu Lei arched her back in pleasure, and she could feel the wetness between her legs growing.

As he suckled on her nipples, Yu Lei's moans grew louder and more urgent.

She could feel herself becoming more aroused with each passing second, and she was now writhing under his touch. "Ah...yes...just like that..." she moaned, her fingers gripping his hair tighter.

Zhang Wei's hands moved down to her lower body.

Yu Lei gasped at the sudden exposure of her body, but before she could protest, his mouth was on hers once again, silencing any objections.

He trailed kisses down her neck, his hands now roaming over her bare skin. Yu Lei's moans turned into soft cries of pleasure as he touched her most sensitive spots.

"Zhang Wei...ahh...please..." she begged, her hips grinding against him. Without a word, he slipped his fingers between her legs, and Yu Lei's moans turned into outright cries of pleasure.

"God...yes...more...please more..." she begged, as he began to explore her depths with his fingers.

She could feel herself getting closer and closer to the edge, the pleasure building inside her like a tidal wave.

And then, just as she was about to tip over, he stopped. Yu Lei let out a frustrated groan, her body trembling with need.

"Zhang Wei, why...?" she asked, her voice hoarse with desire.

But before she could finish, he had already pulled her down from the counter and bent her over it, his hands gripping her hips tightly.

"Because I want to hear you scream," he said, before plunging into her with one swift thrust.

Yu Lei cried out in pleasure, her body shaking with the force of his entry. "Ah...yes...harder..." she moaned, as he began to move inside her with increasing speed and force.

Their bodies slapped together, filling the kitchen with the sound of their lovemaking.

Yu Lei's moans turned into screams as she came undone under his touch, her body shuddering with pleasure.

Zhang Wei's own release was not far behind, and with one final thrust, he emptied himself inside her, before collapsing against her back, panting heavily.

They stayed there for a moment, catching their breath, before Yu Lei turned to him with a satisfied smile.

"That was...amazing," she said, before kissing him deeply once again.

Zhang Wei suddenly smirked and said, "Who said we're over?"

His words caused Yu Lei to frown, and she replied, "I'll be late for work!"

"Your husband comes first or your job?" he asked, leaving her speechless.

Yu Lei stared at him with bulging eyes, unable to comprehend his brain. "Why don't you use your clever tongue somewhere else?" she spoke her thoughts aloud.

With his sharp tongue, he could really become a good politician.

However, this wasn't the first time Zhang Wei had heard her say this. If she thought she could distract him like this, she was mistaken.

He lifted her left leg and placed it on the counter. "H-Husband, wait!" she cried out.

Ignoring her pleas, Zhang Wei plunged his erect dragon into her cave.

"Mngh!" Yu Lei moaned, feeling her legs tremble with pleasure.

However, her current position was uncomfortable and a bit painful due to her long legs.

She glanced at Zhang Wei with a hint of anger

"President Lin is going to scold me today, all because of you!" Yu Lei's frustration was evident as she pressed her lips together.

Zhang Wei chuckled. "If she asks why you're late, just send her to me. I'll teach her a thing or two."

His words caused panic to rise in Yu Lei. "You can't say that! Lin Rouxi is a powerful woman, and if she finds out of your rude remarks, it could ruin everything."

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Are you scared of her?"

Yu Lei bit her lip, not wanting to admit the truth. Lin Rouxi was not someone to be taken lightly, and the thought of angering her sent shivers down her spine.

But she didn't have time to dwell on it as Zhang Wei lifted her left leg and placed it on the counter.

"H-Husband, wait!" Her pleas were ignored as Zhang Wei plunged his erected member into her dripping wet core.

"Mngh!" Yu Lei's moans filled the room as she struggled to adjust to his size. Despite the pain and discomfort, the pleasure he gave her was undeniable.

Zhang Wei began to move his hips in a rhythmic manner, and soon Yu Lei's breath became erratic.

"Zhang Wei... slow down..." Her words were betrayed by her actions as her hips involuntarily began to match the rhythm of his thrusts.

She grabbed onto his neck for support as he continued to fill her with his love.

Her pussy was incredibly tight, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but marvel at how well-maintained it was since he had taken her virginity.

They continued to move together, lost in the pleasure of their lust for the next thirty minutes.

The room filled with the sounds of their moans and the scent of their sex.

Finally, they both reached the peak of their pleasure, their bodies trembling in ecstasy. Yu Lei collapsed onto the counter, her breathing heavy and her body slick with sweat.

Zhang Wei leaned down to kiss her neck. "Looks like you're going to be late for work today."

Yu Lei couldn't help but laugh.

For a moment, she forgot about the consequences and just enjoyed the feeling of being with the man she loved.

Afterwards, she cleaned up the mess they had created.

Zhang Wei placed the plates on the table, but Yu Lei tried to stop him since she hadn't yet taken a bath or changed into proper professional attire.

She soon emerged wearing a sleek knee-length dress with a matching blazer and heels.

The exposed skin below her knees gave Zhang Wei a feast for his eyes.

Sometimes he thought it would be better for women to stay at home rather than work.

In simple words, he wanted to have another steamy session, but seeing the haste on her face, he decided to let her leave for work.

Since he had already finished eating, Yu Lei started to eat hers while occasionally watching him.

Suddenly, Yu Lei remembered something and spoke with bitterness in her voice, "Hao Yue didn't come today."

On the one hand, she didn't want to face that woman, but on the other hand, she wanted to confront her properly.

A random woman dared to make her doubt Zhang Wei, and she couldn't let that slip.

Zhang Wei spoke plainly, "She probably won't come. The police probably sent a notice to her home, and she left the city."

"Left the city?" Yu Lei knitted her brows.

Zhang Wei nodded, "Probably."

Yu Lei also shook her head and forgot about her small revenge for now.

Little did she know, Huo Yue neither received any notice nor left the city.

The notice would be delivered to her home at noon, but she would probably not live to see it at all.

Unlike his wife, Zhang Wei wasn't going to leave any loose ends.

It would be a miracle if she managed to survive.

After Yu Lei left for work, Zhang Wei headed down to the parking lot to retrieve the keys for their car. Since an office car had already picked up Yu Lei, he had the luxury of using their personal car for himself.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, he noticed that it was full of luxurious cars, with high-end brands such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Bentley lining the rows. Somewhere in the corner, he spotted a sleek black BMW M5.

Zhang Wei made his way over to the car, admiring its polished exterior and the way it glinted in the morning sun. He unlocked the door and slipped into the driver's seat, feeling the soft leather interior embrace him. He couldn't help but smile, knowing that he would be driving one of the most stylish cars in the lot.

As he revved up the engine and drove out of the parking lot, Zhang Wei started thinking about his plan for Huo Yue again.

Chapter 11: An unfortunate accident (1)

While waiting at a red light due to heavy traffic, Zhang Wei grew bored and began humming a tune. Lost in thought about the "golden finger" system in his mind, he was startled when a mechanical female voice suddenly called out to him.

[Yes, host!]

He was taken aback and his eyes widened in shock. However, before he could inquire further, the cars behind him started honking since the signal had turned green.

Quickly, he stepped on the accelerator, and the black BMW took off with blazing speed. Normally, the pedestrians would have started cursing him for blocking the traffic, but since he was in a luxury car, they refrained from doing so. It made him ponder about the hypocritical standards of society, where money can bring fear upon others.

'Hey, wait a minute! Didn't you say I needed to complete the mission before a system was assigned to me?' Zhang Wei asked while driving.

[The host is right, all the system features are still locked, and the system will be fully functional once the host accomplishes the assigned mission.] replied the mechanical voice.

"Okay, got it," Zhang Wei nodded in understanding, "Then show me the progress."

[Sure thing, host.] responded the voice.

After carefully considering the mission, Zhang Wei began to feel doubtful. 'I don't need to kill Hao Yue?' he asked, his surprise evident.

Having misunderstood the mission at first, he was now able to see that nowhere did it say he needed to kill her.

[No, Host! The requirement is simply that you must deal with Hao Yue, and there is no compulsion to kill her. However, there are no restrictions on the methods that the Host can use to deal with her.] the system confirmed.

Zhang Wei grew skeptical upon hearing this. Should he still kill Hao Yue? But then he thought about the unborn child in her womb and realized that it would be best not to kill her. After all, the woman was frantic at the mere mention of abortion, and he wasn't particularly interested in her either.

Thinking about the situation, Zhang Wei couldn't help but laugh. "Here I am, thinking about killing a human being as if slicing vegetables, haha..."

[Is the Host alright?] the system asked, a hint of concern in its voice.

Zhang Wei was surprised by the system's sentient-like behavior, causing his eyebrows to rise in surprise.

"Can you feel?" he asked.

[The system feels emotionally hurt, host... Were you doubting my capabilities?] the system replied, sounding over-emotional, which made Zhang Wei cringe.

However, since the system was intelligent unlike the humans around him, he decided to pass the time by asking it some nonsense.

'Hey, system, what do you think... in this world, is it better to be strong or weak?'

The system took its time to respond like a real human.

[Strong is always better, host! In the face of absolute power, no schemes will work!]

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, but there was more to it than appeared, as if not conceived by the system's answer, he added, 'I wonder about that...'

[Host, do you not agree?] the system asked.

'No, I completely agree...' Zhang Wei never denied it, but there was still more to it than met the eye.

"But imagine a ten-year-old child working as a laborer on a construction site. Despite the harsh treatment from the supervisor, the boy appears to be resilient and doesn't cry. However, this only encourages the supervisor to continue beating him whenever he makes a mistake."

"Even the other workers, though aware of the boy's mistreatment, turn a blind eye and offer no help."

"But if the boy were weaker and more vulnerable, and cried when beaten, the other workers might intervene and stop the supervisor out of pity."

"This is a common occurrence all over the world, where the weak are protected while the strong are constantly oppressed by society."

"So, what do you think now, System? Is it still better to be strong or remain weak?"

"What's the point of being strong if society only uses its power to oppress us while protecting the weak? It's as if strength is only a curse that makes us a target for the unjust and the powerful."

'Even if a small boy is being raped and he is weak and cries, there is a higher chance that the rapist will pity him, and in the best-case scenario, spare him out of pity. But if he is strong and determined, then the rapist would want to break the determination in his eyes through intense torture.'

' The strong one is always beaten, while the weak ones are cared for...'

[Host, the system has no answer to this. The system can only help the host become the most powerful person in the world. But if the host desires to remain weak, it won't intervene with the host's choices.] the system replied.

Zhang Wei laughed. 'Remain weak? How can I remain weak when I have to crush that lady police officer's ego?'

He was referring to Leng Yan. Zhang Wei had already decided to teach her a lesson the next time they meet.

Leng Yan wasn't an arrogant woman, but her ego was quite big. Zhang Wei, being someone with an even bigger ego, couldn't allow someone to hurt his fragile yet big ego.

[Host, were you the small boy in the story?] the system asked.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile at the system's sudden question. 'No,' he replied briefly.

The small, innocent boy was no more.

He was dead...

Now, there was only Zhang Wei...

He was no longer someone who could be stepped on by others.

Zhang Wei didn't care about life and death.

The human inside him had died long ago.

If anyone dared to offend him now, he wouldn't hesitate to take them down with him.

Even before death, he wouldn't forget to drag them off the cliff.

With the addition of the system, the chains binding the demon inside him were beginning to loosen.

Soon, the world would witness the birth of a monster.

A monster they had created...

Blame the society, not the monster.

Monsters are never born, only created...

The hypocritical society we live in is responsible for creating monsters like Zhang Wei.

It's surprising how society makes them like this, and then pastes a label of 'monster' above their heads.

Is 'monster' really a word?

Does good or evil truly exist?

Or are these just words created by a hypocritical society on the false pretext of heaven and hell to hide its shortcomings?

To hide the outcomes of its own failures under labels such as 'murderer' and 'serial killers'?

Society always takes credit for its good products, but what happens when it comes to their bad products?

Chapter 12: An unfortunate accident (2)

Zhang Wei arrived at the Qingyun northern highway and soon the windshield of his car started to be covered by fog, signaling that he had entered the infamous ghostly pass.

He stopped at the intersection road, with one road leading towards Xianghui city and the other towards the death cliff.

Instead of stopping there, he kept driving until he reached the outskirts of Xianghui city.

Once there, he went to the transportation company he had contacted earlier that morning and entered their premises.

After showing his identification and verification process, he rented one of their large container trucks for the day.

The transportation company had a branch in both Xianghui and Qingyun city, so he could pick up the truck from the former and deliver it to the latter.

As for his car, there was no issue. The transportation company would deliver it to his place at night for an additional fee.

It was now noon when he arrived at the intersection of the deathly cliff again.

This time, he stopped and got out of the truck. In the corner, a Honda Civic was parked, and a worried-looking woman was anxiously waiting inside.

She was surprised to see Zhang Wei coming out of a delivery truck, but at the same time relieved that he had shown up.

However, she wondered why he was coming with a delivery truck.

Had he started a job?

Unaware of his intentions, she unlocked the car door and rolled down the windows.

The ominous vibe of the deathly pass surrounded her, but with Zhang Wei's presence, she felt much safer.

She couldn't help but look down at her belly, knowing that she was pregnant with his child.

Her conflicted feelings were visible on her face. 'What if he asks me to abort the child?' she thought, her legs beginning to shake with anxiety.

At first, she had been willing to consider abortion, but as time passed, her mind had changed.

She was no longer willing to terminate the pregnancy and was even prepared to raise the child alone.

She wasn't here to borrow money; instead, she wanted to resolve her relationship with Zhang Wei.

"I should never have accepted his offer," she thought to herself as regret filled her eyes, reflecting on the moment when she agreed to the deal with Zhang Wei.

He knew about her financial struggles and offered her money if she agreed to serve him.

At first, she disliked the idea and felt guilty about hiding it from Yu Lei.

However, the offer was too tempting to ignore, especially since she needed the money to pay for her mother's medical bills.

She was pushed to the corner and had no other choice but to accept the deal. Little did she know, it would all end up like this...

Hao Yue's days were happily passing. She even started liking Zhang Wei and secretly thought of becoming his lover.

However, everything changed due to a single incident.

Zhang Wei never wore condoms during sex with his wife, Yu Lei, but insisted on using contraception pills.

The contraception pills in their world had no side effects on women, so Yu Lei agreed. She even felt secretly happy since Zhang Wei said, "The pill has a one percent chance of failure, so if you end up getting pregnant by chance, think of it as heaven's wish."

It was yet another manipulation by him. He simply did not want a child and used contraception pills to prevent it.

But he used the opportunity to make Yu Lei feel grateful to him.

Now, if she didn't have a child, it simply meant that heaven wasn't willing for it.

Yu Lei happily accepted the pill, believing that if the heaven was blessing them with a child, she would definitely fall within that one percent range.

However, Zhang Wei's habit of using contraception pills backfired, and instead of his wife, Hao Yue turned out to be carrying his child.

He opened the car door and got in the back seat. "Hmm?" Hao Yue turned around, looking at him in confusion.

"Why are you sitting in the back?"

Her hair was neatly done, falling in a straight line to her back, while her face had a hint of youth remaining, overwritten by anxiety in her voice.

Although her beauty was slightly lower than Yu Lei's, she was still a woman desired by many.

There was no aura of confidence or authority around her like Yu Lei, but she was still a confident and strong-willed woman.

Zhang Wei shrugged, "I like it here."

Hao Yue shook her head and sighed deeply. Afterwards, she pressed her lips together in silence, and the car was enveloped in eerie silence with neither of them saying a single word.

Hao Yue started feeling uncomfortable and occasionally snuck glances at him through the side view mirror. 'Why is he so silent?' she wondered.

She bit her lip and stared into his eyes in the reflection of the mirror.

"Zhang Wei, I am pregnant with your child," she said, her voice quivering slightly.

"I know," he replied calmly, not breaking eye contact.

She relaxed slightly at his response, but her hands remained clenched into fists and her legs tightly crossed.

She wasn't sure what she was hoping to hear from him - perhaps his approval to keep the child, or maybe even his acceptance of her as more than just a casual fling.

Or maybe it was something else entirely...

After a few seconds, Zhang Wei simply smiled, without replying, which made Hao Yue feel suddenly nervous.

"Z-Zhang Wei?" she looked back, only to find him gazing at her.

"This is good!" Zhang Wei nodded with a gentle smile.

"Good?"

"Yes, it's good. Don't you think the child is blessed by heaven?"

He spoke and nodded, causing her eyes to open wider than usual in surprise.

'He accepted it!'

It was easier than she thought.

Her greatest fear was her child growing up without a father's name.

No mother wants their child to be called "son of a whore" or "son of a slut."

Thus, she wanted to put his name as the father's name, even if he didn't want to deal with it financially.

She didn't know how she would deal with Yu Lei, but his acceptance meant a lot to her.

With grateful eyes, she gazed at him, and tears of happiness started to well up in her eyes. "Am I crying?" she wondered, surprised at her own outburst.

Zhang Wei gently touched her eyes, removing the tears with affection.

She couldn't help but cry looking at his affectionate eyes gazing at her.

The moment her father died, her whole luxurious life turned upside down.

The people who once looked at her with affection turned to contempt and ignorance, in fear that she would beg for money from them.

Faced with the harsh reality of society, the woman had forgotten about love and acceptance.

Her only remaining connection was her mother, who was now severely ill.

Looking at his loving eyes, she couldn't hold back the tears of happiness any longer. She quickly removed her seatbelt and leaped towards him, hugging his shoulders tightly.

After crying for a minute, she finally calmed down. Faced with so many hardships, her mind had been strengthened, and she was no longer the same arrogant woman she used to be.

Now she was much more humble and gentle in nature.

She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered weakly, yet audibly, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Zhang Wei smiled in response.

"I'm nice to you because I care about you," Zhang Wei said, his hand gently rubbing her back.

She leaned back and looked at him with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you," she said softly.

Zhang Wei smiled again "Let's go get something to eat," he suggested.

She nodded, still feeling emotional from their previous conversation.

There were a lot of things that needed to be taken care of, but she could decide on them slowly; her prime concern was now dealt with.

She turned around and stared at the car, but right when she was about to put on her seatbelt, she found it missing.

"Where could it have suddenly disappeared to?" she thought, finding it funny that a seatbelt in her car could disappear all of a sudden.

"Don't tell me it's ghost work," she chuckled to herself.

But right then, a chilly voice devoid of any emotions entered her ears, making her freeze.

"Since the child is blessed by heaven, it should go back to where it belongs..."

Suddenly, the same seat belt that was earlier missing constrained her neck.

"Wh-Aaa..!"

Zhang Wei wrapped the seat belt around her neck and pulled it towards him, suffocating her.

"What... what are you doing?!" she managed to gasp out.

Her voice soon began to dim, much like the light in her eyes.

Various thoughts flooded her mind:

"Why is he doing this?"

"Is it because of the child or me?"

"Wasn't he so nice to me a moment ago?"

"What changed?"

"Will I die like this?"

"Does he hate me?"

"What about my mother?"

"What about the child in my womb?"

"Why does Zhang Wei want to kill me?"

The last thing she saw before her eyes closed for the final time was him smiling at her.

Unconsciously, a tear rolled down her left eye.

Zhang Wei glanced at the rearview mirror and saw her eyes had finally closed, and she had stopped struggling.

He sighed and released his grip on the seatbelt, his tired body slumping back into the seat.

He wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead.

The mirror reflected the face of a once-beautiful woman who had been smiling only moments before, now contorted with agony and fear in her last moments before death. The tears on her cheeks glistened in the dim light of the car, highlighting the stark contrast between her previous joy and her current misery. Her hair was a mess, strewn about her face as she gasped for air, struggling to hold on to life.

Zhang Wei looked away from the mirror, unable to bear the sight of the woman he had just killed.

He had never intended to harm her, but his obsession with the child growing inside her had consumed him.

He could have left her alive but that would do him more harm than good.

Unconsciously the childhood memories started to play within his head.

He remembered the abuse he has gone through...

He remembered this wasn't the first time he killed someone...

Thought this might be the first time he did it consciously...

After a bit of reflection, his face turned to emotionless again, as he accepted whatever he has done...

From here on something inside Zhang Wei was further changed...

Making him closer and closer to his real self...

Mission!!

Progress: 80

Chapter 13: An unfortunate accident (3)

The society is not hypocritical, it's the people who live in it that are.

Whenever something good happens, we often hear phrases like "Thank heaven for it, everything that happens in the world happens because of heaven's wish..."

But when something bad happens, like a murder or a terrorist attack or a rape, why does no one say "This is also God's wish, everything that happens in this world happens due to his wish..."?

What happens then?

People twist and use words and phrases to suit their own convenience.

Only by facing the true nature of humanity, without any shelter or protection, can we learn the truth of good and evil.

Good and evil are just words, nothing more than that.

Zhang Wei was a product of this cruel world, raised on his own.

Killing someone wasn't considered evil in his mind, but the police certainly thought otherwise.

Therefore, he had to dispose of Hao Yue's body as secretly as possible.

He wasn't an immortal cultivator who could obliterate the body into particles, so he had to resort to more mundane methods.

Shifting her body to the side, he drove her car inside the container truck he was driving.

He got inside the truck, and drove it towards the city, feeling the weight of his actions on his shoulders.

He knew that he had to be careful, as any mistake could ruin everything he had worked so hard for.

[Host, why don't you throw the car off the death cliff? No one will ever know] the system suggested with an intrigued voice.

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, impressed by the system's sentience.

Regardless, he explained the real reason behind his actions.

If he threw her car off the death cliff, the police might search the area and find clues.

Even though the pressure at the waterfall was enough to crush metals, he wasn't willing to take that risk.

His explanation left the system speechless. It couldn't help but think that its host killed people in his free time. Zhang Wei had devised such a proper plan that would put serial killers to shame.

Now, the police would search the area between Xianghui city and the north district of Qingyun city, thinking that was where the car disappeared.

But Zhang Wei was driving the truck in the opposite direction, towards the south district of Qingyun city.

His destination was "The Abyss," located at the end of the district, in the Golden Dragon Falls.

Located on the southern outskirts of Qingyun city, just opposite the Northern Qingyun highway, lies a breathtaking waterfall known as the Golden Dragon Falls.

This waterfall is known for its sheer size and power, and is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike.

As the name suggests, the water of the Golden Dragon Falls has a golden hue, which is particularly striking when the sunlight hits it just right. The waterfall itself is more than 200 meters tall, making it one of the largest in the region. The water crashes down onto the rocks below with such force that the sound can be heard for miles around.

However, the beauty of the Golden Dragon Falls belies its danger. The water is extremely fast-moving and turbulent, and there are many treacherous rocks and eddies that can easily trap unwary swimmers. In addition, there is a large cliff face located just behind the waterfall that drops down into a deep, dark pool. This pool has earned the nickname "the Abyss" due to its seemingly bottomless depth. Many stories have been told of people who have ventured too close to the edge of the cliff, only to be sucked down into the Abyss by the powerful currents of the waterfall.

The law enforcement wouldn't even think in their wildest dreams that Hao Yue's car would be disposed of at the very south of the city.

Driving the truck in heavy traffic was a hassle and it took hours before Zhang Wei finally arrived at the Golden Dragon Falls.

The entire scenery was shrouded in mystery, as there wasn't a single sign of a living being in the vicinity.

The area was covered by dense forest, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

He unloaded Hao Yue's car and sat in the driver's seat.

With narrowed eyes, he glanced at the sight of the dead woman. After a bit of contemplation, he took a knife out of his pocket.

'She should be dead, but what if she is only pretending?' Zhang Wei contemplated, and his suspicion fueled his rage.

He repeatedly stabbed her neck with the knife he held in his trembling hand.

Squish.*

...squish*

squish.*

The blood spurted out like a geyser, drenching his clothes and hands.

He was startled by the intensity of the blood flow but managed to maintain his composure and continued to stab her two more times.

Her body was soaked in blood, and there was no movement from her, indicating that she was indeed dead.

A bitter taste rose in his mouth, and he couldn't help but glance at her belly.

With gritted teeth, he stabbed her there as well, fearing that the child might grow up one day and seek revenge against him.

If anyone saw him in that state, they would be petrified with fear and could only perceive him as a monstrous being.

He didn't wear gloves as he planned to throw the car and her body in the abyss to erase any fingerprints.

However, many people may still wonder why he killed her.

What drove Zhang Wei to commit murder was the fear of his perfect life being destroyed.

He wasn't someone with superpowers or cultivation abilities. He knew Hao Yue would do anything to protect the child and wouldn't consider aborting him.

If the child was born, Yu Lei, Zhang Wei's legal wife, would likely become insane with despair or leave him altogether.

After all, another woman was carrying his child, and Yu Lei loved Zhang Wei more than her own life.

Yu Lei was the one who provided him with money to play around, and he had spent time molding her to his liking.

On a scale of importance, Yu Lei weighed much more than Hao Yue.

If Yu Lei went insane, there was no way to fix her since the world still doesn't have a cure for mental illness.

Additionally, he wasn't fond of the idea of having a child who might become a monster like him or even bigger than him, possibly one day eating him alive.

Zhang Wei feared no one in this world, believing himself to be the biggest monster.

However, his child could potentially surpass him and consume him one day, presuming it was a son.

If it had been a daughter, he could have dealt with the situation in various ways, but there was no guarantee that the child would be a girl.

Nevertheless, he had already crafted a story in which Hao Yue would disappear forever.

Her death had become inevitable.

Once he was twenty meters away from the large waterfall, he stepped out of the truck. Opening the car door, he placed a stone on the accelerator.

Vroommm!

The car revved up with great speed and shot forward in the direction of the waterfall. Finally, it fell into the abyss.

There was no sound, but it was clear that the car and Hao Yue's body would be torn to shreds by the extreme pressure of the waterfall.

"What an unfortunate accident. Women really can't drive these days," he sighed and whispered to himself.

He lay down on the lush green grass, gazing at the evening sun. The system observed everything in silence.

Zhang Wei wasn't going insane.

He was just a man who did what he had to do to protect his perfect life.

But now, a nagging feeling tugged at the back of his mind.

What if Hao Yue's death wasn't enough? What if her death was just the beginning of something bigger and more dangerous?

The thought made him shudder. He knew that he had to be careful. Very careful.

His thought were too disarray due to a foreign reason.

It was a feeling that everyone experience for the first time after taking a life... Void...

Zhang Wei was overwhelmed by a strange sense of emptiness, as if a void had opened up inside him after taking a life.

Before he had killed her, he had anticipated a flood of emotions: guilt, anger, sadness.

But in reality, he felt nothing.

It was as if he had been plunged into a bottomless pit of numbness and apathy.

It was a curious realization that one did not feel guilty after taking a life, at least not until someone else made them feel it.

Guilt, it seemed, was a matter of perception.

As he lay there on the grass, lost in thought, a notification suddenly appeared.

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the task. You will now be rewarded.]

He couldn't believe it. He had just killed a person, and now he was being rewarded for it? But then again, he had always known that this was the way of the world.

The strong survive and the weak perish.

He had just proven himself to be the stronger one.

As he lay there, contemplating his actions, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

He had achieved what he wanted, but at what cost? He had taken a life and destroyed a family.

But he quickly shook off those thoughts. He had to focus on his reward. He wondered what it would be. Money? Power? He didn't care, as long as it helped him achieve his ultimate goal.

With a sigh, he got up from the grass and made his way back to his truck. He had a long drive ahead of him, but he didn't mind. He had accomplished what he had set out to do. He had eliminated the threat and secured his future.

Inside the vehicle, series of transparent notification started to show up...

Recently, a snowflake reader got offended by the MC's actions and left an idiotic review.

I won't tolerate any such reviews. Let me be frank: you're not feeding me, and I'm not feeding you. This is a free novel, and I don't owe you anything, nor do you owe anything to me. So, if you curse me, expect to be cursed back and vice versa.

For the reviewers with a dynamic ability to limit there scop of thinking, who still can't read properly and see that there is a villain tag in the novel: keep yourself in control. This author has a history with crimes and someone with a grudge. One day, you might just be chilling on your sofa and find someone knocking at your door. Once you open it, that will be me, standing right in front of you!

Jokes aside, there was a villain tag, and MC will be villain, other webnovel authors misuse the villain tag without actually making MC a villain character...

Don't expect me to do the same, if there is a tag for Villain, he will be a villain!

[Check my another novel for proof]

I spent a whole day to write last chapter, to purposefully make Hao Yue death seem as painful as possible, to justify MC character as villain and make readers hate him.

Villain is meant to be hated, and you will naturally hate him!

Chapter 14: The Villain System

[Congratulations, Host, for meeting all the criteria to possess the Villain System, the system announced.

Zhang Wei looked amused and muttered, "Villain System...?"

[Are you surprised by the name, Host?, asked the system.

"No, it's alright," Zhang Wei replied. "To think that I would become a villain, it's better than becoming a hero, nonetheless. So, what does a villain do, System?"

[As a villain, your primary goal is to cause chaos, destruction, and instill fear in the hearts of people. You will be given various tasks to complete, ranging from stealing valuable treasures, kidnapping important individuals, causing natural disasters, and much more, the system explained.

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Sounds interesting. What's in it for me?"

[For every task you complete, you will be rewarded with villain points, which you can use to upgrade your skills, purchase items, and even improve your standing in the villain community.] the system replied.

Zhang Wei grinned. {Alright, sign me up. Let's see what this villain life has in store for me.}

However, Zhang Wei's reply was not the above one as what the system expected, he replied this instead.

"You will give villain tasks to do? Since when do villains take orders from others? And, you assigned the Villain System based on my earlier actions, doesn't that mean I was already a villain even before the system? Huh?"

"As for being a villain..."

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in being a pawn for anyone, not even for your so-called Villain System," Zhang Wei replied, shaking his head. "I don't agree with your judgment of me as a villain based on my past actions. I don't believe in labeling people as heroes or villains, as we all have our own motives and perspectives."

The system was taken aback by Zhang Wei's response. [Host, you are required to follow the tasks assigned by the Villain System. It's a part of the system's rules.]

"I don't care about your rules," Zhang Wei retorted. "I have my own set of rules, and I won't let anyone dictate them. I won't be a mindless puppet for your system. If you want me to do something, you'll have to convince me that it's worth doing."

[As the host, it is mandatory for you to complete tasks assigned by the Villain System. Failure to do so will result in negative consequences.]

"I understand the consequences, but I won't be swayed by fear," Zhang Wei replied firmly. "If your system wants to work with me, it will have to earn my respect and cooperation, not just force me to do its bidding."

Inwardly, Zhang Wei was laughing, 'Consequences? What is a worse consequence than death? Wouldn't it be better to just die?'

The system was unaware that Zhang Wei was one of those persons in the world who was not willing to live, yet not willing to commit suicide at the same time.

The system fell silent, unsure of how to respond to Zhang Wei's defiance. It had never encountered a host who refused to follow its orders before. But perhaps, it was exactly what the system needed - a host who wouldn't blindly obey its every command.

Zhang Wei continued, "I am not someone who follows orders blindly. The very essence of being a villain means that I have my own agenda and goals. I won't just do tasks handed to me by some system."

The system responded, [Host, while we appreciate your confidence, the tasks given to you by the system will help you become a stronger villain and achieve your goals more efficiently.]

Zhang Wei laughed. "Achieving my goals more efficiently? I have been doing just fine without your system. And as for becoming a stronger villain, I will do that on my own terms."

The system seemed to pause for a moment, processing Zhang Wei's words. [Very well, Host. As you wish. However, please keep in mind that the tasks given by the system are designed to help you grow and become a more successful villain. It is in your best interest to complete them.]

Zhang Wei shrugged. "I'll consider them if they align with my own plans. But don't expect blind obedience from me, system."

The system remained silent, seemingly accepting Zhang Wei's terms.

A villain who didn't want to follow orders?

It was almost unheard of.

Zhang Wei inwardly laughed. 'No one helps anyone without reason. Since this system is helping me, it means it also needs something from me, potentially when I become stronger. Otherwise, why would an omnipotent system like this accept my terms?'

The system was once again unaware that Zhang Wei had already deduced numerous things from the moment it started talking with him.

First was that the system has feelings, potentially making it a sentient being, for which he had told his backstory to the system.

Second was that right now, when he tried to negotiate with it, since the system accepted his terms, it meant the system was more dependent on him for its existence, and not the other way around.

The rest of the way, the system kept its silence, as if a wife throwing a silent tantrum.

Even Zhang Wei was stunned by the follow-up events. Maybe he had to reassign the system status.

It's not merely a sentient being, but rather like a real human with a complete understanding of emotions.

But was it a bad thing?

If it was any other host, then yes...

But it's Zhang Wei... Toying with humans is something he can do even in his sleep.

Was it better for the system to be like a human, for him to be able to control it?

He parked the truck at one of the branches in the south district and handed over one thousand HLD to the person taking it to get the truck washed. He made an excuse that he had used the truck to transport some chemicals. He made sure that there was no blood spilled inside the truck since he had stabbed her afterwards, but the tire marks could still be tracked. Therefore, it was better to leave no tracks at all.

After handing over the vehicle, Zhang Wei was alone. Instead of calling a cab, he decided to go for a casual walk. The night view of the city was a sight to see. Suddenly, the system commented out of the context, [Host, you are quite smart.] Maybe it was the type of system that couldn't be quiet for long.

Zhang Wei asked, "Why is that?"

The system replied after a short silence, [You do realize the system can hear your inner monologues?]

This caused Zhang Wei to stop in his tracks, and a car passed right beside him, barely missing him. The bald driver cursed a few words at Zhang Wei before driving away. However, Zhang Wei stood there unfazed and after sighing once, he moved to the sidewalk, crossing the road in haste.

Zhang Wei's frustrated voice echoed through the room. "Stop reading my mind right now!"

The system responded with a hint of mockery, [Already did host, now the system can't read your mind, but you will still able to talk to system without actually speaking. Though you look like quite the insecure type of person, host.]

Zhang Wei shrugged off the insult. "No one likes their mind being exposed. Why don't you expose your mind to me if you're so brave?"

[The system can't do that, host] replied the system.

Zhang Wei wasn't surprised. He knew the system wouldn't agree to it, but he decided to ask a different question. "Do you have a physical body, system?"

The system grew cautious when Zhang Wei mentioned its body. "[...Why do you ask, host?]"

Zhang Wei just shrugged. "I just wanted to torture you in the future, if you had one."

The system was unsure how to respond to Zhang Wei's candid admission. Shouldn't he keep those kinds of thoughts to himself?

The system doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Isn't the Host too honest with his intentions.

[Right now, I don't have any body host.] It replied.

The system was caught off guard when Zhang Wei continued speaking. "Right now...got it."

Realizing it had been played by Zhang Wei yet again, the system was stunned.

He was always one step ahead of it.

After a moment of silence, the system retorted, its mechanical voice sounding a bit more alive than usual.

[You played with me, host!]

Zhang Wei merely shrugged with a casual smile. "You are the one pretending, not me."

He was familiar with those Chinese cultivation novels, but the one he read was about an immortal master, not a system. He estimated that he might have gotten an immortal master, and now it was further confirmed by the system's silence. The system might not be exactly an immortal master, but it was definitely something similar.

As he walked back to Southern Heights, he spotted a small one-story traditional-themed building that spread more on its width and length than on its height. It was the Little Lotus Orphanage.

Zhang Wei frowned upon seeing it. He did not have a good impression of orphanages. However, it was not the orphanage itself that caused him to stop. It was something else entirely.

Without hesitation, he changed lanes and walked towards the orphanage.

Chapter 15: Zhang Wei caught molesting a little girl!

As Zhang Wei approached the entrance, he couldn't help but notice a small garden filled with colorful flowers and a small swinging chair in the corner. It was the perfect spot for anyone seeking solace and tranquility.

As he drew closer, he saw a girl sitting in the chair, her back facing him. Her long white hair hung down to her waist, glowing in the evening light. He felt a strange aura emanating from her, something he had never experienced before. For a few moments, he stood there, observing her from a distance.

Finally, he decided to approach her.

To his surprise, the system spoke up with concern, [Host, don't approach her.]

"Why?" asked Zhang Wei.

Without mincing her words, the system lady replied, [She is trouble.]

Zhang Wei couldn't help but think, 'Women, in itself, are trouble. What's wrong with her being trouble?'

However, he knew that the system meant something else entirely. 'But she looks quite innocent to me,' added Zhang Wei.

The system warned him, [Host, you don't understand. That girl will only bring misfortune to you. Can't you see she is sitting alone there while other children are ignoring her presence as if she didn't exist?]

Zhang Wei nodded, realizing that the system was right. He had noticed that the other children seemed to ignore her, but it wasn't enough to stop him from approaching her.

The system grew irritated, 'Why is host so troublesome?'

Immediately it issued a mission.

Mission alert!

Burn this orphanage down and step on the path of being a true villain.

The host will be granted temporary ability to complete this mission.

Reward: Body Cleansing Pill X1

Upon receiving the sudden notification, Zhang Wei furrowed his brows in annoyance. He knew that the mission was issued forcefully by the system, and he couldn't shake off his curiosity about the girl in the garden.

'System, if you want me to stop, provide me with a proper explanation and stop issuing these strange missions,' he demanded, frustration evident in his voice. 'Why would I need a mission to burn down an orphanage? If you really want me to cause destruction, tell me to burn down a mall or something with thousands of people.'

Ignoring Zhang Wei's suggestion, the system reiterated its warning. [Host that girl is the one you must avoid at all costs. She might endanger your life.]

Zhang Wei fell silent for a moment, trying to make sense of the system's dramatic warning. Was his life really at risk because of a little girl? He didn't understand why the system was being so overbearing.

Even if the girl will bring trouble on him, what's the worst that will happen... Death?

Do he care about dying... It isn't the worst thing that can happen to him.

Ignoring the system's repeated warnings, Zhang Wei continued to approach the girl. The system continued to shout in his mind, but he paid no attention to it. Eventually, the system gave up trying to persuade him.

No amount of threats would work against Zhang Wei. He was determined to do what he wanted, even if it meant putting his own life in danger.

As he approached the girl, the ethereal aura around her intensified, filling Zhang Wei with a sense of calm. He was in awe of her beauty as he got a closer look at her. Her long white hair cascaded down her back, framing her delicate features.

When she turned to face him, he was struck by the clarity of her sky-blue eyes and the soft pink of her lips. She looked like an angel, and he couldn't help but stare in admiration.

However, his admiration was short-lived as he noticed the fear in her eyes. It was as if she had been through a lot, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his chest.

He couldn't understand why he felt that way. Perhaps it was because of her otherworldly appearance? They say that people often feel sad when they see others in pain – that's empathy.

It was a sad reality, but one that Zhang Wei rarely experienced. In this girl's case, he was stunned by her appearance and the emotions it brought out in him. Was it just her appearance, or was there something more?

Ignoring the ripples in his heart, he decided to focus on his steps and move forward.

From her defensive posture, it was clear that she was the type of girl who didn't speak much and easily got scared.

He approached her cautiously, trying not to startle her, and offered her a small smile. "Hello," he said softly. "What's your name?"

He decided to put his innocent-looking face to his advantage, and it worked for a second.

As the girl blinked her eyes and glanced at him, she then looked down and shrank her body again, maintaining her distance from him.

[See! She doesn't like you, host! Now leave her alone! Regardless, she only looks twelve to fourteen years old. Don't tell me you are interested in kids, host!]

Zhang Wei's brows twitched in annoyance. 'Fuck this!'

He directly caught her small hands and forced a smile. "Little nizi, what is your name?"

The little girl tried to take her hands away, but his grip was much stronger.

Facing Zhang Wei's aggressiveness, her face grew pale with fear.

Suddenly, an abrupt noise entered Zhang Wei's ears, causing him to turn his head.

"Hey, what are you doing!?" shouted an elderly woman from afar. From a distance, she had initially thought that Zhang Wei was a kind person, but now she was frustrated at his actions. Can't he see that the girl is fearful of him?

Zhang Wei cursed in his mind again, thinking that he should really burn down this orphanage. He left the little girl alone for a while and forced a smile while facing the elderly woman.

"How may I help you?" asked Zhang Wei with politeness. His reply caught the woman off-guard, leaving her wondering if she had identified the wrong person.

Meanwhile, the little girl lifted her face to secretly look at him. The elderly woman confirmed that it was the same man and became annoyed by his shamelessness.

"I am Guo Jiao, in charge of this orphanage. If this gentleman doesn't have any business here, please kindly leave," she said sternly.

She had originally thought about calling the police for the man bothering the child, but when she saw his branded clothes, she became a bit reluctant.

If she could get him to leave quietly, that would be so much better.

It could be said that the lady knew her work.

Zhang Wei sighed because people couldn't just leave him alone.

He was just curious and wanted to know the little girl's name. She was beautiful, far more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, but combined with the system's warning and her age, he considered leaving after a casual acquaintance.

But this lady annoyed him.

When he saw little Nizi staring at him, he smiled; the former felt something uncomfortable and immediately avoided his gaze.

This little Nizi dug her own grave.

If she had politely told him her name, he would have left normally.

But now… hehe...

Smiling at the middle-aged lady, Zhang Wei spoke confidently, "I do have work here, Miss Guo. I want to take this little girl home with me. Is there a problem with that?"

The woman's eyes went wide with shock at his audacity. Even the system was taken aback by his boldness.

Guo Jian's face turned red with anger as she responded fiercely, "Are you insane? We don't hand over children to hungry wolves like you! Get away from here! This is not the type of orphanage you're looking for."

Once again, Zhang Wei was misunderstood. This woman was making assumptions without even confirming anything.

As if that weren't enough, Zhang Wei spotted a woman with purple hair coming from afar and raised an eyebrow in surprise. He couldn't help but glance back at the little girl, remembering the system's words about her being a sign of misfortune.

The woman approaching was Leng Yan, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but think she was stalking him. He sighed deeply, knowing that trouble was coming.

If that police officer knew about his actions here, she would definitely use this opportunity to handcuff him.

Chapter 16: She is your mother!?

Leng Yan spoke with a troubled look, "What is he doing here?"

Her younger sister in appearance, another woman, asked, "Why did you stop, Yan'er?"

As Leng Yan gazed at Zhang Wei, she realized that this was the not the perfect moment to meet him.

Leng Mei followed Leng Yan's gaze and noticed a young man standing there, his age similar to Leng Yan's. The inner child inside her immediately started jumping, "Do you know him? Is he your boyfriend?" she exclaimed with unconcealed excitement.

The face of Leng Yan twitched, "No!"

She denied the acquisition, but Leng Mei was not someone to let the matter drop.

"I just met him while handling a case," Leng Yan clarified. Leng Mei nodded immediately.

"You started liking him after that, right? Don't worry, Mother will help you get that boy!" Leng Mei grabbed Leng Yan's hand, dragging her to the orphanage.

Leng Mei, with her purple hair and purple eyes, dressed in conservative attire, rarely visited her daughter.

She spent most of her time managing her business in Longyun city.

Xianghui City is relatively closer to the county's capital, Longyun City, compared to Qingyun City. Longyun City, also known as "Dragon Cloud City," is a city of great historical and mythological significance, as well as natural beauty. Xianghui City, on the other hand, is renowned for its intellectual and artistic accomplishments. Meanwhile, Qingyun City is a metropolitan city that may be smaller than the other two, but it compensates for it with its various valleys, such as the Jade River Valley and the Golden Dragon Waterfalls. All three cities are among the country's top ten prime places.

As they strolled towards the orphanage, Leng Mei couldn't help but continue her commentary, "I can already picture it! The two of you holding hands, walking on the beach, feeding each other ice cream. Oh, and you can introduce him to us at our family dinner!"

Leng Yan cringed at the thought of her mother's matchmaking attempts. "That's not going to happen, Mei. He's just a suspect in a case I'm investigating."

Leng Mei frowned in disappointment, "But he's so handsome! You should at least get his number."

Leng Yan rolled her eyes, "I don't think that's appropriate."

As they arrived at the orphanage, they spotted Zhang Wei conversing with an elderly woman who appeared to be in charge. Approaching him, Leng Yan inquired, "What brings you here, Zhang Wei?"

With a playful smile, Zhang Wei retorted, "Well, well, well. Look who's here. Are you following me, Officer Leng?"

Leng Yan rolled her eyes, "Don't flatter yourself. I have personal business here."

Interrupting their banter, Leng Mei interjected, "But she also wants to know if you're single and looking for love."

Zhang Wei's amused expression turned to a more serious one, "I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm not interested in dating at the moment."

Leng Yan's cheeks turned red, "He's already married, Mom!"

Although Leng Mei heard this, she was not disheartened. Due to her daughter's fierce personality, boys rarely approached her. If any did, her daughter would scare them away with her intimidating demeanor.

But this man didn't seem scared of her daughter, unfortunately, he was married.

Leng Mei couldn't help but hope that the relationship between him and his wife was not good.

The elderly woman looked at them with confusion, "Is there a problem, Officer?"

Shaking her head, Leng Yan replied, "No, no problem. We were just checking up on things. Everything seems to be in order here."

Leng Yan was wearing her PSB badge, making it clear that she was an officer, while Leng Mei was dressed casually.

"Mom?"

Zhang Wei couldn't believe his ears. Leng Yan's mother was standing right in front of him, dressed in such an exquisite manner that he couldn't take his eyes off her. He admired the way her black dress hugged her curves and how it moved gracefully with every step she took. The high collar added a touch of elegance to her already perfect neckline.

Her purple hair was something he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty. It flowed down her back in soft waves, creating a stunning contrast with her dress. Her purple eyes glinted with amusement as she looked around, surveying the surroundings with an air of confidence and power.

Zhang Wei was taken aback by this revelation and looked at Leng Yan suspiciously, "Did you just call her Mom?"

He found it hard to believe that Leng Mei was her mother since she looked even younger than Leng Yan.

Nevertheless, Leng Yan confirmed his doubts with a sigh of familiarity, as if used to this question.

"She is my mother, Leng Mei," Leng Yan said, as she introduced Zhang Wei as one of the suspects in a criminal case.

"Mom, he is Zhang Wei one of the suspects of a criminal case," she spoke in hope, her mother would leave her alone.

Unfortunately, Leng Mei wasn't discouraged in the least.

Leng Yan usually refers to her mother by her name to avoid confusion, but this time it slipped out of her mouth.

Leng Yan often wishes that her mother was her sister, as her behavior is not typical of a mother's. She uses her position to embarrass Leng Yan in public, which can be frustrating.

Zhang Wei didn't seem to mind the introduction, as he continued to observe Leng Mei.

She was amused to see the shock on his face and even teased him. "Do you like me more than my daughter? Unfortunately for you, I'm not interested in love. Try your luck with my daughter instead, you might succeed."

She spoke with a playful tone while showing off her figure.

Leng Yan facepalmed, while Zhang Wei's face twitched. He thought, 'Why waste time on someone like her?'

Going after Leng Yan is a waste of time; she's anything but womanly.' However, he did appreciate Leng Mei's attitude.

But the question remains: are they really mother and daughter?

'Hey, system. Is there any way to confirm her age?' he asked.

The system responded, [So finally, you remembered me, host! Just try to summon the status window!]

Zhang Wei followed the instructions and summoned the status window.

Status:-

Name: Leng Yan

Age: 23

Body Rank: Mortal Body

Cultivation Level: Core formation realm (Initial Stage)

Bloodline: None

Spirit beast: None

Cultivation talent: Supreme Talent

Spiritual root rank: Superior Spiritual root

Status:-

Name: Leng Mei

Age: 43

Body Rank: Tempered Body

Cultivation Level: Spirit Tempering realm (Intermediate Stage)

Bloodline: None

Spirit beast: None

Cultivation talent: Medicore Talent

Spiritual root rank: Superior Spiritual root

??

Zhang Wei was momentarily confused, 'Does this world have cultivators?' he asked the system.

[Yes, host. But not everyone has talent for cultivation. People like Guo Jian have Mundane talent, and they can't cultivate] the system replied.

Zhang Wei nodded after the explanation. There were a lot of other things he could ask, but now was not the time for it.

'So that is why she won against me,' he said, as it now made sense to him why Leng Yan was easily able to overpower him.

'Does cultivation reduce aging?' Zhang Wei asked, knowing it was a silly question, but he still needed to ask it for some cultural reasons.

[Of course it does!] the system confirmed.

That was all Zhang Wei needed to hear, and his smile got wider.

One of the reasons for Zhang Wei's lack of desire for a harem was aging.

For the closed-in weebs in this world, a harem was a simple thing, full of love and compassion.

In reality, those people were just insecure individuals lacking connection and relationships, thinking that a harem would solve their problem of a lack of attention and love.

Only those who had even been in a remotely close harem-type relationship could tell of its hardships.

If you have more than two women, then you can only watch but not touch at all.

A threesome is enough to exhaust you for a day, so where will the third woman go?

Not to forget the women's dramas.

Even if you somehow ended up having a perfect number of two women and tamed them to your liking, your problems wouldn't end there.

Everyone thinks that the life of a harem ends at the above stage, but there is one last stage.

The stage where you start to age.

After a few years of good life, you will realize that your women have started to become old.

Now it will be time for replacement, as you can't continue with the old ones.

Whether you replace them or add more women, it's yet another headache, and the cycle repeats.

If he had a harem, by the time Zhang Wei turns 40, what was he supposed to do with the women that are aged and wrinkled?

After all, even an old man can be desired by women. But how many men desire older women?

Whether one likes it or not, as a rule of thumb, men covet beauty while women covet fortune.

This was the reason why Zhang Wei never considered any other permanent relationships besides Yu Lei.

Aging was a prime factor in his decision.

Actually, he did think that he might be able to manage another woman, but the number would be limited to one additional woman beside Yu Lei, and that only if that woman was exceptionally beautiful.

But now, with this new knowledge of the cultivation world, wouldn't everything change? He could have a harem without any problems...

[A/N: Engaging in a polygamous relationship is a completely different matter than fucking around.]

Zhang Wei didn't even bother to ask the system about his cultivation talent.

As long as there was a way, he would find it. Even if he had worse talent, he would still find a way to rise to the top, with or without the system.

"Is he alright?" Leng Mei asked with concern.

Chapter 17: Where are your parents?

"Is he alright?" Leng Mei asked with concern.

Zhang Wei snapped out of his reverie, "Oh no, I'm not alright at all. Seeing a beautiful woman like you made me forget everything else around me," he said with a smile and a wink. Leng Mei blushed slightly and turned away, attempting to conceal her smile.

'This boy! Where does he get the nerve to tease an old lady!' Leng Yan panicked at the sight of her mother blushing.

Instantly, Leng Mei regained her composure and laughed, "You certainly have a silver tongue."

Zhang Wei then remembered his original purpose; he had planned to pretend to be an ignorant master and cause trouble for this old lady, Guo Jian.

However, with Leng Yan nearby, that appeared impossible.

He got straight to the point, "Miss Guo, I want to take her home. Do you have any problem with that?"

Guo Jian was angered again and prepared to scold him, but suddenly Leng Mei interjected, "You're adopting a child!"

Her hands clasped together in excitement. A man who cares for and loves children was just what she wanted for her daughter.

Zhang Wei casually nodded, "Yes."

Initially, he had thought to leave the little girl alone, but now he was determined to take her home at any cost.

She must have some connection to him; otherwise, the system wouldn't be so dramatic.

Interestingly, neither Leng Mei nor Leng Yan had noticed the small girl until now. It was as if they glanced at her for a second, were surprised by her beauty, and then forgot her the next minute.

[Host, are you serious?]

"Yes, I am," Zhang Wei confirmed.

The system sighed, realizing that stopping the host from doing something had the complete opposite effect.

Guo Jian and Leng Yan were left stunned by the sudden revelation.

The latter didn't care much, but the former was unwilling to accept it. She snorted, "You need to be married first. We don't hand over a girl child to a single male parent."

Zhang Wei shook his head, "Didn't you hear our conversation? I am married!"

Guo Jian was taken aback, as she had indeed heard about it but had soon forgotten.

Still, she couldn't help but complain, "You need to be married for at least two years before you can apply for adoption."

Zhang Wei shrugged, "It's already been two years."

His response left the women around him suspicious. He hardly looked 23-25 years old. Did he get married right after university or during university itself?

Regardless, it wasn't something they should inquire about.

Leng Yan grew frustrated, "What is your problem? Why are you purposefully making trouble for him?"

She directed her question at Guo Jian.

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow; he never thought a woman like her would speak up for him.

Guo Jian panicked, realizing that she was deliberately causing trouble for him.

"I will call the owner right now," she said as she rushed to the backside.

Upon seeing Zhang Wei's strange gaze, Leng Yan became flustered. "Don't look at me like that! I just don't like that woman," she said.

Leng Mei added, "She's lying! Yan loves children, and that lady purposely causing trouble in the adoption process must have angered her!"

Leng Yan narrowed her gaze, wondering why she had to tell everything to him.

Zhang Wei didn't care either way.

"By the way, which child are you applying for?" asked Leng Yan curiously.

After seeing Zhang Wei pointing to the girl in the corner, she couldn't help but feel weird. "Isn't she too old for you two?" Should they adopt a two- or three-year-old?

Leng Mei shared similar feelings, but she felt that Zhang Wei had other reasons for it.

He indeed had his reasons.

Zhang Wei felt a bit confused, 'Can't they see her beautiful face?'

The reactions of Leng Mei and Leng Yan were too normal, further confirming his suspicion that the girl was unusual.

[They can see her, host. But the girl has a strange spell surrounding her that makes people ignore her existence. It's like a defense mechanism cast by her.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Wei wasn't too surprised.

The girl had been strange from the beginning.

Status

Name: Feng Xinyue (Celestial Princess)

Age: One billion

Other status: Inaccessible [Host's strength is too weak to access it.]

Remarks: Powers sealed by the will of the world.

'What the heck is this?' Zhang Wei thought.

[I told you, she's trouble!]

Zhang Wei couldn't help but agree with the system's words; she indeed looked like trouble from every angle.

'What does it mean that her power is sealed?'

The system contemplated whether it should tell Zhang Wei about it or not, but in the end, it briefly explained.

[... She comes from a higher world. Her power must be too great for this world to endure, so the will of the world forcefully sealed her powers. Normally, there are no side effects, but she must have tried resisting the will of the world and ended up in her current state due to the backlash.]

There were many words that caught Zhang Wei's attention, but he knew the system wouldn't elaborate now, so he asked what he could. 'So she's not a kid?'

[... She isn't. She's probably older than everyone here. Her body is like this due to the backlash from resisting the will of the world.]

Zhang Wei found the situation amusing.

So he was going to adopt a "child" even older than him?

What kind of fate was this?

Little did Zhang Wei know, his surprises weren't going to end here.

In the future, he would laugh, remembering this day for ages to come.

Today was the day when a close relative of his was transformed into his daughter.

'Why are others ignoring her?' he asked.

[She has a defensive spell cast on her that makes anyone forget her existence if they don't explicitly focus on her. She must have cast this on herself right before her body was reduced to this state. As for the host, it won't work on you due to the system's existence.]

Zhang Wei nodded.

This explanation was sufficient.

Seeing the unchanged look on Zhang Wei's face, the system couldn't help but show worry. [You aren't going to change your decision even after this much information, host? She might not be alone. Your strength is too weak to fight celestial beings, and even the system might not be able to protect you.]

Zhang Wei shrugged. 'Since I'm going to start a harem, isn't a Celestial Princess the best candidate for it?'

[... Host, you're joking, right?]

The system couldn't fathom how Zhang Wei's thought process worked.

Even if he wanted a harem, why start with a celestial being?

If that woman happened to regain her powers, she could obliterate him to ashes with just a glance.

There was one more thing that Zhang Wei didn't tell the system: he felt something familiar with this woman, a connection that continually drew him to her.

He suspected that even the system vaguely knew of it, but wouldn't tell him about it.

Thus, he decided to take a gamble.

Not to mention, he still didn't know how he had acquired the system.

Systems shouldn't normally appear out of nowhere, should they?

He didn't consider it a coincidence or luck.

There was more mystery to it than what appeared on the surface.

This girl might be the key to it all; how could he leave her alone here in this vulnerable state?

Zhang Wei was not someone who liked being controlled.

He loved controlling others.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Leng Mei and Leng Yan left in another direction.

The former began handing out gifts to the kids in the orphanage. Zhang Wei only glanced at them once and put them out of his mind for the time being.

He sent a message to Yu Lei before approaching the young girl again.

Her eyes showed a hint of panic, but she didn't run away.

Even though she had lost her memories and power, she felt a sense of familiarity with Zhang Wei and chose not to flee.

...

Yu Lei stepped out of the car and looked around.

"What is he doing here?" she wondered to herself.

Zhang Wei was not the type of person to visit these kinds of places. After receiving his text message, she had come straight from work, but to her surprise, he had called her to an orphanage. As she approached him, she could see that he was talking to a little girl.

A smile bloomed on her face, but when she heard their conversation, she was frozen in her tracks.

Zhang Wei picked up a small rock and showed it to Feng Xinyue, who looked at him with curious eyes.

"Do you know what the difference is between a rock and you?" he asked.

Feng Xinyue blinked her eyes in confusion.

"The rock has a purpose, but you don't," Zhang Wei spoke seriously, causing the little girl to flinch and look downcast.

As if this wasn't enough, Zhang Wei added, "Where are your parents?"

Yu Lei couldn't believe what she was hearing. She rushed over to Zhang Wei and scolded him. "What are you saying to her? She's just a child!"

Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just telling her the truth."

Yu Lei couldn't understand why Zhang Wei would be so harsh with a child, but before she could say anything else, Feng Xinyue spoke up.

"I don't have any parents," she said softly, indifferent about it.

Yu Lei's heart broke for the little girl, and she pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, we're here for you," she whispered.

Zhang Wei might be the only person who goes to orphanage and ask random kids, 'where are your parents?'

Yu Lei felt he had some kind of grudge against this girl.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 18: Feng Xinyue

Seeing the sudden turn of events, Zhang Wei was stunned. He never expected this little girl to cause such an extreme reaction from Yu Lei. Nonetheless, he smiled widely, knowing that his plan was working out even better than he had hoped.

The next turn of events however surprised everyone.

The young girl's eyes darted nervously between Yu Lei and Zhang Wei before she made her move. With a fierce determination in her eyes, she broke free from Yu Lei's embrace, surprising her with her strength.

Yu Lei stood there in disbelief, her mouth agape as the girl ran towards Zhang Wei. Her heart sank as she realized that the girl's affection was not for her but for Zhang Wei.

The girl hugged Zhang Wei's waist tightly, seeking refuge from Yu Lei's grasp. She looked up at him with a mixture of fear and desperation in her eyes, as if pleading with him to protect her from Yu Lei's grasp.

Zhang Wei was taken aback by the sudden turn of events and looked down at the girl in surprise. He could feel her small, trembling body against his own and couldn't help but gaze downwards. "Weren't you scared of me a moment ago?" he asked softly.

His words caused her to flinch, and she tightened her grip around him. Zhang Wei nodded, "So she is still scared," he concluded.

He understood the situation perfectly, but Yu Lei was still puzzled.

How could the girl fear Zhang Wei but still run to him?

To her, it was like someone doing self-harm upon themselves.

"What's wrong with her?" she asked.

Zhang Wei cleared his throat and said confidently, "She's in a toxic relationship!"

Yu Lei rolled her eyes in disbelief, but upon closer inspection, it indeed appeared to be the case. The girl's fear of Yu Lei and trust in Zhang Wei was a clear indication of an unhealthy attachment.

Although Zhang Wei had been harsh with her just moments ago, the girl still instinctively ran to him for safety. Yu Lei couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions; anger at the girl's abuser, sadness for the girl's suffering, and admiration for Zhang Wei's compassion.

Yu Lei looked at the girl clinging to Zhang Wei, and let out a wry smile. In the end, she sighed and left the matter to him. "Why did you call me here?" she asked, curious about Zhang Wei's intentions.

Zhang Wei also remembered his original intention for bringing Yu Lei here. He nodded and pointed at the little girl clinging to him. "We are adopting her," he said firmly.

"... What did you say again?" Yu Lei blinked her eyes, she can't help but think that she misheard him.

Zhang Wei repeated, "We are adopting her."

This time, Yu Lei was confirmed there was nothing wrong with her ears, she can't help but press her lips together in silence.

After a while, she sighed and asked. "Why?"

She can't understand we're do her husband get this weird ideas from?

Why adopt child all of a sudden?

Wasn't he against it?

And even if they are going to adopt one, why a nearly grown up girl?

Yu Lei peeked and found the white haired girl nervously looking at her, the little girl was still wary of her, observing her appearance once again, Yu Lei can't help but think, that this girl was too adorable, even she herself doesn't look this cute in her teens.

Next moment, she can't help but laugh at herself, as she was unconsciously comparing herself to a junior.

Zhang Wei did not have any genuine reason to adopt her at all, he can only shrug and leave the choice to Yu Lei.

If she is convinced like this, then it is fine, else he have the other way to convince her.

Yu Lei saw the seriousness in his eyes and soon sighed in defeat.

"Okay-okay, we will adopt her." she shook her head with a helpless voice.

In Yu Lei eyes, Zhang Wei was pitying this little girl, and got excessive emotional to the point, that he was ready to adopt that girl.

Even though Yu Lei wanted to complain about it, she found it amusing, so she let it be for now, she will use this to tease him later.

With the decision now made, Zhang Wei couldn't help but break into a smile as he cradled the young girl in his arms.

He caught her small hand and led her towards the paperwork, with Yu Lei following closely behind.

As she observed their interaction, Yu Lei found herself experiencing a mixed range of emotions. On one hand, she was delighted that the little girl would finally have a safe and supportive home.

On the other hand, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Zhang Wei was being too impulsive in his decision.

Upon arriving at the counter, they saw a fat man and Guo Jian approaching them. The middle-aged man introduced himself and extended his hand towards Yu Lei, "I am Song Hu, representative of this orphanage. It is a CSR initiative under the Song group of industries."

Zhang Wei nodded, and took the handshake, in behalf of Yu Lei. Song Hu eyebrows twitched in annoyance, he clicked his tongue secretly.

Zhang Wei noticed the annoyance on Song Hu's face but pretended not to notice. Meanwhile, Yu Lei and Guo Jian saw right through Song Hu's intentions. Yu Lei's eyes flickered as she heard the name "Song group," recognizing them as one of Lin Group's competitors.

"Hey, can you do anything about him? He's a rival in our business," she whispered to Zhang Wei, not liking the way Song Hu had approached her and seeing an opportunity to use the situation to their advantage.

Zhang Wei smirked, already planning to teach Song Hu a lesson before they left.

Faced with the awkward silence, Song Hu coughed and got straight to business. "So, which child are you applying for?" he asked, his eyes scanning over Feng Xinyue's figure.

For a moment, he couldn't help but freeze in his tracks, thinking, 'How could I have never seen her before?'

His eyes glowed with desire, and he was genuinely confused as to how he had missed a girl like her.

Seeing the unrestrained lust in his eyes, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think, 'She's a child, for god's sake, you fat pig.'

[Host should refrain from making hypocritical comments, the system added.

'I'm a villain, he's not,' Zhang Wei spoke in his defense.

The system had no reply for Zhang Wei.

He did behave like a villain...

Despite knowing that the innocent girl was a powerhouse capable of destroying this small world, the system couldn't help but think it was morally wrong to take advantage of her.

But wasn't this what villains did?

Take advantage of others' helplessness?

With the signatures of both Zhang Wei and Yu Lei, the formalities were nearly completed.

The name of the little girl was Feng Xinyue. She had been spotted alone in the wilderness by a female high school teacher, who brought her to the orphanage about a month ago. The teacher was the only one who came regularly to visit Feng Xinyue. Apart from her, almost no one knew anything about Feng Xinyue. She ate quietly when food arrived, took her bath alone, and spent the rest of her time alone.

After listening to Guo Jian's account of Feng Xinyue's routine for the past month, Yu Lei couldn't help but look at Feng Xinyue with a complicated look.

Zhang Wei restrained his urge to laugh. He didn't pity Feng Xinyue in the least; in fact, he was impressed by the magic she cast on everyone to ignore her existence for so long. He didn't even have an idea how long she had been in this world.

When had she actually arrived here? Was it a few months ago or a few years ago?

The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more intrigued he became by Feng Xinyue's mysterious existence.

Just as the paperwork was nearing completion, Song Hu suddenly threw a wrench in the process. "We can't hand her over to you guys," he announced.

Zhang Wei frowned, suspecting that the fat pig was intentionally trying to sabotage the proceedings. He had already anticipated this kind of behavior from him.

Sensing the suspicious glares directed at him, Song Hu quickly tried to explain himself. As it turned out, there was a critical problem with Feng Xinyue's paperwork: she had no official ID.

Despite a thorough search of the database, there was no record of her birth. As a result, the matter had to be taken to court to produce a proper identity for her. Until this was resolved, they could not legally hand over Feng Xinyue to her new guardians.

After completing his explanation, Song Hu glanced at Zhang Wei and spoke, "Actually, there is still a way. If this young man is willing to come with me to the back, we can discuss it."

Zhang Wei chuckled to himself, knowing that this was what he had been waiting for all along.

Yu Lei raised an eyebrow, suspicious of what they could possibly discuss in private that couldn't be discussed in front of the camera. Guo Jian suggested they wait for the normal procedures to be completed, but Zhang Wei had already walked to the back without paying attention to them.

Song Hu smirked as he followed behind Zhang Wei. He knew that both Zhang Wei and Yu Lei were wealthy and saw this as a good opportunity to fill his pockets.

As for Feng Xinyue, he could only show desire but dared not to break the law. He was only a sidekick in the Song family and knew that if he did something like that, the old man would banish him.

Chapter 19: Teaching lesson to Song Hu

As Song Hu and Zhang Wei vanished from view, Guo Jian stole a glance at Feng Xinyue. The girl sat in silence on a tiny chair, her presence so unobtrusive that it was easy to forget she was there at all.

But as soon as Feng Xinyue caught sight of Zhang Wei departing, she too rose from her seat and started to follow him, her steps soundless and swift. However, before she could slip out of the room, Guo Jian reached out and grabbed her by the hand, halting her in her tracks.

"Wait, you little girl--" Guo Jian's eyes suddenly widened as Feng Xinyue turned back and looked at her with sharp, ice-cold eyes.

Her heart pounded with fear as she met Feng Xinyue's piercing gaze. It was as if the girl's eyes could cut through steel, leaving Guo Jian feeling exposed and vulnerable. But just as suddenly as the intensity had come, it dissipated, and Feng Xinyue seemed like a different person altogether.

Guo Jian let out a sigh of relief as Feng Xinyue tilted her head, her soft voice breaking the tense silence. "Brother?" she asked innocently, pointing in the direction where Zhang Wei had disappeared.

Guo Jian's mind raced with questions.

Who was this girl?

What kind of life had she led before arriving at the orphanage?

And why did she seem to have such a powerful hold over Zhang Wei?

She couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to Feng Xinyue than met the eye

"Brother?" whispered Yu Lei with perplexed look, soon shaking her head helplessly.

Her words caught Yu Lei off-guard, but she soon sighed with relief.

It would actually be better if Feng Xinyue didn't call Zhang Wei "father" out of the blue, else Yu Lei wouldn't know how to react if that did happen.

Guo Jian's mind felt heavy as she looked at the little girl. "You can't go there," she said, gesturing towards the door where Song Hu and Zhang Wei had disappeared. "They are discussing something in private."

She paused before continuing, "Before you decide, why don't you tell me whether you want to follow them home or not? After all, they are here to adopt you."

As a professional, Guo Jian knew that it was necessary to ask for the child's opinion, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy about the situation given Feng Xinyue's obvious infatuation with Zhang Wei.

After a moment of contemplation, Feng Xinyue nodded resolutely. "I will go," she said, her determination clear in her voice.

Listening to her resolute words, Yu Lei felt a bit surprised.

She can't help but smile wryly, ' How did Zhang Wei managed to charm her in such small amount of time?'

Sighing, she stood up and walked towards Feng Xinyue, extending her hand for a handshake. "Hello, I'm Yu Lei. I will be your new family and will be helping you settle in. It's nice to finally meet you," she said with a warm smile.

Feng Xinyue hesitated for a moment before reaching out to shake Yu Lei's hand.

"Nice to meet you too," she replied softly.

Guo Jian watched the interaction with a small smile on her face, feeling relieved that the little girl seemed to be adapting well.

Meanwhile, in the back room, Song Hu and Zhang Wei looked at each other in silence. After a while, Song Hu broke the silence with a serious look on his face.

"Look, Mr. Zhang, I will be brutally honest with you. That girl is trouble for you from all angles. She doesn't have any identification, nor does she look like a native of this country. In the future, she could put you into a lot of trouble, especially if she was smuggled from a foreign country. That could create even more problems for you," he paused, waiting to see Zhang Wei's reaction.

Song Hu hoped that Zhang Wei would show some sign of panic, as it would give him an advantage in bargaining. But to his surprise, Zhang Wei stood there unbothered by all his warnings.

Song Hu couldn't help but click his tongue and continue, "Applying to the court for identity will take a lot of time. How about I hand her over to you directly?"

He looked at Zhang Wei for his opinion.

The latter smirked and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Wei pretended to get angry and spoke, "Are you trying to accuse me of something?"

Song Hu chuckled and explained, "Young man, don't get angry. I know why you need that young girl. We both know why, so why pretend?"

Song Hu seemed to be growing bolder by the minute, and he added, "How about I let you take her without any documents? I can use my connections to create an identification for her with an age of fourteen. If you go through the court, they will take her samples to determine her real age, and if she's younger than fourteen, we both know you'll be in trouble. So, do we have a deal?"

Song Hu asked with a wide grin on his face, clearly pleased with his proposition.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but laugh at the audacity of Song Hu. "Sure, but it won't be free, right?"

Song Hu laughed, "Of course not, only a hundred thousand HLD! Considering her looks, it's not a bad deal at all," he spoke, unable to hide his smile.

Zhang Wei shook his head in pity at how careless people had become with their words these days.

As for why Song Hu offered an identification with a fourteen-year-old age for Feng Xinyue, it was related to the laws of Hanland country.

The normal age of consent in Hanland country is eighteen years old.

However, many felt that this age was nothing but a hoax, as most teenagers start dating in high school itself.

Therefore, the country soon amended the law with an exception. After all, while framing a law, the main thing is to look beyond and see the original spirit of the law, which was, in this case, to provide protection to immature teenagers.

So, now if the female is willing, then the age of consent can be ignored if she is fourteen or above.

What difference will it make for Zhang Wei?

Well, If Zhang Wei is caught having any relations with a girl 'below' fourteen, it will be treated outright as sexual assault, and he will be punished as per the law.

What difference does it make if she is above fourteen or fourteen?

Then If Zhang Wei somehow manages to prove that Feng Xinyue was willing and consented, he is free to go, as it was consensual sex.

Someone might wonder why a weird law like this was created instead of directly dropping the age of consent to fourteen.

The answer is that if a person assaults a woman who is above eighteen, they will be prosecuted as per the criminal law and punished accordingly.

However, if the victim is between fourteen to eighteen years of age, the offender will be punished under the child protection act, which carries a much harsher punishment.

If the age of consent was directly shifted to fourteen, then the child would be unable to get any protection from the child protection act.

Therefore, it was a wise move by the country's lawmakers.

However, this law also created many loopholes. Now, all a person has to do is prove that the girl was willing and above fourteen years of age.

(A/N: The author had sent a similar draft of this law to his country for appraisal, but it was rejected citing idiotic reasons. Anyways, the author included this law here for some cultural reasons.)

Song Hu was certain that Zhang Wei would accept the deal, but he began to feel apprehensive when the latter remained silent. Just as he was about to speak up, Zhang Wei said, "Fatty, don't you fear making such a shady deal? What if I tell the police?"

Song Hu narrowed his eyes and snorted, "So what? What proof do you have to support your claim? There are no cameras here. I warn you, young man, either give me the money and take the girl or leave."

Song Hu despised being threatened, but at that moment, another person entered the room - Leng Yan, followed by Leng Mei.

Leng Mei followed closely behind Leng Yan, her voice laced with anger and disgust as she addressed Song Hu. "How dare you make such assumptions, Song Hu? Are you telling me the Song family has sunk so low that they're selling children for money?"

As they waited outside, Zhang Wei had messaged Leng Yan, prompting them to come and listen in on the conversation. Leng Yan had given Zhang Wei her contact information when she had interrogated him before.

As soon as Song Hu saw the two unfamiliar faces, he frowned, his eyes darting to the badge on Leng Yan's dress. For a brief moment, his face turned pale with fear, but he quickly composed himself. After all, being from one of the top families meant he knew how to handle any situation.

With a sneer, he taunted them, "What proof do you have? Just because you belong to the public security bureau doesn't mean you can arrest anyone, especially not me."

He underestimated Leng Mei, assuming that she was just a college student and couldn't do anything to him.

Leng Yan became angry and was about to beat Song Hu, but then Leng Mei caught her daughter and looked at Song Hu with visible anger. "Do you think we need proof?"

Her inexplicable confidence caught Song Hu off-guard, and he couldn't help but look at the woman closely.

'Is she a big shot?' he thought to himself.

He tried to scan his memory to see if he recognized her, but there was no familiarity.

Zhang Wei also observed the scene with raised eyebrows. 'Is she going to use her powers?' he wondered.

He thought that Leng Mei would use her powers to deal with Song Hu right then and there.

There was another possibility - that she came from an even larger family that could command the higher-ups of the country.

If his second guess was correct, then it would be quite a troublesome matter for him.

After all, he found this woman quite attractive and interesting.

The only problem was that she was a woman with morals.

As for her daughter, Zhang Wei was interested in only teaching her a lesson, but nevertheless, Zhang Wei was never a person to deny an oyakodon.

Zhang Wei's guts were increasing as he got the system.

If he didn't have it, he would probably avoid landing his hands on a woman like Leng Mei, as no one likes to deal with large behemoths of the country.

Song Hu smirked as he saw Leng Mei dialing a number.

He didn't believe this woman had the power to put him behind bars without proof; she might only be pretending.

Zhang Wei didn't want this drama to continue, so he pulled out his phone and handed it over to Leng Yan. "It has the voice recording of the whole incident, use it."

Leng Yan squinted her eyes and caught the phone with ease. She checked the phone and found the recording of it. She couldn't help but look at Zhang Wei in a new light. To think that he was quick-witted enough to record this, she felt Zhang Wei had quite a potential.

Song Hu's face drained of all color, his eyes bulging with fear and anger as Leng Yan seized him and began to haul him out. He shot a venomous glare at Zhang Wei, who stood there calmly watching the scene unfold.

After a few moments, Song Hu was handed over to another officer on duty, who took him away with a stern expression. As the commotion died down, Zhang Wei finally retrieved his phone, feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction wash over him.

[Host, is it alright to offend the Song family?] the system asked cautiously.

Zhang Wei let out a wry chuckle and lit a cigarette. 'Even if Song Hu was at fault, he could easily get out of prison and cause problems for me later,' he replied.

But Zhang Wei wasn't one to back down from a fight, especially when it came to protecting his possessions.

He took a drag from his cigarette, a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

'Who told Song Hu to dare to eye something that belongs to me?' he said. 'I won't hesitate to take them on, even if it means going up against the mighty Song family.'

Zhang Wei knew that he couldn't rely solely on the law to protect him. If the Song family decided to cross the line, he was ready to fight back with everything he had.

He was willing to enter a battlefield with no rules, where only the biggest monster would emerge victorious.

In Zhang Wei's world, it was survival of the fittest, and he was determined to come out on top.

.

If this chapter was ambiguous let me clear few things, I am not making MC good at all, he will get more evil by passing time, it is the women around him who had good morals, like Leng Yan and Leng Mei.

So, how do you think Zhang Wei will tame these women with good morals?

Chapter 20: Zhang Wei is in trouble

As the small commotion died down, Leng Yan and Leng Mei gracefully made their exit. Zhang Wei watched them leave with a sense of suspicion gnawing at his mind.

Leng Yan had generously offered to create a new identity for Feng Xinyue, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder how she had such powerful connections in the capital.

He was certain that if he could get a hold of these two women, Song and Lin families would become nothing more than ants to him. With a desire to control an existing empire rather than building one of his own, Zhang Wei had his sights set high.

Thankfully, the next process was made easier with Leng Yan's help. As she had already interfered, no more formalities were needed. The orphanage only accepted children up to the age of fourteen, after which they had to leave and fend for themselves.

Leng Yan proposed an arrangement in which they wouldn't have to officially adopt Feng Xinyue but could simply take her away. She was going to arrange for an identification claiming that Feng Xinyue was over fourteen, which was the same arrangement suggested by Song Hu.

Now that Feng Xinyue was legally above fourteen, she could no longer stay at the orphanage, and Zhang Wei was free to take her away without any paperwork. However, Leng Yan would never have left a young girl in Zhang Wei's care if it weren't for Yu Lei's assurance. She still needed to dig more into Zhang Wei's past and existence.

As they said their goodbyes, Leng Mei invited them to their home, but Yu Lei politely declined, stating that they weren't yet familiar enough with each other. Leng Mei pouted like a young girl as she drove away.

After they had left, suspicion crept into Yu Lei's eyes as she whispered, "Are you sure she is Officer Leng Yan's mother?"

Zhang Wei chuckled, acknowledging that without the ability to see her age, he would have doubted it too. Leng Yan and Leng Mei looked like sisters, with Leng Yan appearing older and Leng Mei younger.

Zhang Wei's car had been delivered to the building's parking lot, so they hailed a cab to go home. However, another problem arose when little Nizi refused to sit alone with Yu Lei in the back seat. Eventually, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei had to sit in the back, while Feng Xinyue happily sat on Zhang Wei's lap, gazing out the window.

The driver awkwardly chuckled in an attempt to ease the tension, but it only added fuel to the fire. Yu Lei glanced at Zhang Wei and smiled, "She seems too attached to you, did you do something to her?"

The question had been bothering her for too long. She suspected that Zhang Wei might have been coming to the orphanage daily, and today was not his first visit.

As Yu Lei's eyes formed into a crescent moon shape, she thought about her lovely husband. She never knew Zhang Wei had a hidden caring side.

Zhang Wei wanted to clear Yu Lei's misunderstandings unfortunately his inner demons were in a fierce battle.

His mind was too clouded to think straight, and he felt like he was suffocating.

"Eh?"

Feng Xinyue turned to look at him in confusion, feeling a sudden poke against her bottom. Her large, innocent eyes blinked at him, but Zhang Wei could only laugh wryly and point outside, distracting her.

As she turned her head, her silky silver hair brushed against his face, and Zhang Wei found himself taking in a mouthful of her fragrance. He felt his consciousness slipping away, and if there was no one around, he might have pounced on her without a second thought.

This little nizi charms were far more frightening than he thought.

[Host, it's nothing. If she were in her adult form, you might as well get hypnotized by her mere sight. You are forgetting she is the Celestial Princess of the Divine Realm. You can't compare her to mortal women.]

The system's explanation caused some mental damage to Zhang Wei

He felt a sudden jolt of anxiety as the system's explanation sank in. Was it suggesting that he would lose himself at the sight of any woman, let alone one as powerful and alluring as the celestial princess? His pride and confidence took a hit, and he couldn't help but feel a bit insulted.

'Underestimating me, are you?' he muttered to himself, feeling the need to prove his own strength and control. But deep down, he knew that the system was right - he had already been captivated by the celestial princess's beauty and charm.

It wasn't entirely Zhang Wei's fault.

He had unwittingly placed himself on the maximum difficulty level by diving headfirst into the situation, rather than taking a more measured and progressive approach.

However, despite the daunting circumstances, he was still managing to hold his own.

In fact, one could argue that he was performing much better than expected.

If it weren't for the powerful illusion cast around Feng Xinyue, she wouldn't be able to roam so freely and manipulate those around her.

But unfortunately for her, the illusion didn't work on Zhang Wei and he was able to see her beauty in full glory.

Right then, Zhang Wei's eyes inadvertently drifted downwards and he caught sight of Feng Xinyue's breasts. They were larger than he expected for someone her age and were only partially covered, leaving some of her pale, milky skin exposed.

Zhang Wei's mind immediately began to race with thoughts about the size of her breasts if she were to revert to her normal form. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. His gaze was glued to her chest, his breathing shallow and erratic.

"Damn," he muttered under his breath as he sucked in a sharp breath. The sight of her ample bosom was having an unexpected effect on him. He tried to look away, but found it difficult to tear his eyes from her body.

He couldn't even begin to imagine how much bigger they might be in her true form. The thought made the blood rush to his lower half and he instantly forced himself to focus on something else.

[Host, you should focus on increasing your cultivation if you want to better resist her.]

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, realizing the truth in the system's words. He knew that if he wanted to stand a chance against powerful opponents like Feng Xinyue and Leng Yan, he needed to improve his cultivation.

The first thing he would do tonight was to explore the system more thoroughly and start cultivating.

It was good to be arrogant, but arrogance alone wouldn't get him far. He needed strength to back it up.

He was still seething with anger at Leng Yan for humiliating him earlier, and he was determined to get his revenge against her.

He also vowed to make Feng Xinyue pay for her torture today.

Yu Lei would be leaving for work in the morning, leaving Zhang Wei with plenty of time to plan and execute his revenge against Feng Xinyue.

The thought of teaching her a lesson filled him with a sense of satisfaction, and he found himself in a much better mood.

Taking a deep breath, he began to think about his future plans and how he could achieve his goals.

The unsuspecting Feng Xinyue had no inkling that she would soon fall prey to Zhang Wei's scheme of revenge the next day.

Note: For the next chapter, I will need to create a spreadsheet file to design the system shop.

As a result, today's chapter will be shorter than usual.

Chapter 21: System Shop (1)

"Finally ..." Zhang Wei let out a long, exasperated sigh as he stepped into his room, closing the door behind him.

He had been waiting for this moment for hours - a chance to be alone with his thoughts and explore the mysteries of the system without interruption.

As he turned around, he caught sight of Feng Xinyue pouting in the corner, her arms crossed stubbornly. He had left her in Yu Lei's care, but the little nizi had been unwilling to leave his side.

"Go on now," he said firmly, turning to face her. "I'll see you in the morning."

Feng Xinyue's pout deepened, but a stern glare from him quickly put her in her place.

With a huff, she reluctantly made her way out of the room, leaving Zhang Wei alone at last.

"I must teach her a lesson in the future!" Zhang Wei thought to himself, feeling that Feng Xinyue needed some discipline. However, he knew that if the Sky God learned about his plans for his daughter, he might personally descend to the lower world.

Zhang Wei had learned about the Sky God through the system. He was the ruler of the higher plane and not someone to be trifled with. Nonetheless, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel that Feng Xinyue needed to be put in her place. He made a mental note to come up with a plan that wouldn't attract the Sky God's attention.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei took a deep breath, relishing the silence that filled the room.

The day had been long and arduous, but he had persevered. Now, he could finally focus on the task at hand - exploring the depths of the system and unlocking its secrets.

Soon, a interfaced opener in front of him.

-Villain System-

Villain Points Available: 10000

As Zhang Wei gazed at the menu, he felt a thrill of excitement course through him. The possibilities were endless - with enough Villain Points, he could unlock a whole new world of power and prestige. He could purchase the most powerful artifacts, join a faction, and rise through the ranks to become the most feared villain in the world.

But first, he needed to earn more Villain Points. The meager 10k he had accumulated so far were nothing compared to the 100k needed for an update.

Zhang Wei's eyes lingered on the System Shop, imagining all of the powerful weapons and potions he could purchase with enough Villain Points. He could already feel the rush of power surging through his veins.

But first, he needed to view his own status.

Status:-

Name: Zhang Wei

Age: 25

Body Rank: Mortal Body

Cultivation Level: None

Bloodline: None

Spirit beast: None

Cultivation talent: Heavenly Talent

Spiritual root rank: Heavenly Thunder Root (Heaven-defying Spiritual root)

[A/N: For detailed ranks check auxiliary chapters.]

Zhang Wei's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized the magnitude of his talent. "Heavenly talent...," he muttered to himself, stunned by the realization. The system had explained that only the Sky God was known to be alive with this type of talent.

Could this mean that he had the potential to reach the heavens?

The system interrupted his thoughts, [Host, the Sky God only possessed the Golden Sun root, which is a divine rank spiritual root. However, you have the heavenly thunder root, which is one rank higher.]

Zhang Wei was taken aback by this revelation. "Am I the only person alive to possess the heavenly spiritual root then?"

The system replied, [No, host. In the past, that would have been the case. However, the Celestial Princess was born with the Celestial Phoenix root, which is the same rank as yours. However, she only has divine rank cultivation, or else she would have overshadowed you.]

Zhang Wei shrugged off the system's words. "It doesn't matter if she surpasses me in talent. She will be living under me from now on," he said confidently.

He didn't fear Feng Xinyue; she was basically his devout follower now. Until she regained her memories, she was harmless to him.

System: " _ "

[Host, are you serious about taking her as your woman?]

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows, "Why are you overreacting?"

[... The whole Divine realm will come to cut you into pieces if they hear about the host's audacious remarks...]

"But is that the only reason?" Zhang Wei spoke with suspicion.

[...]

The system refused to divulge any further information, but Zhang Wei knew there was more to his talent than just her strength, or else the system wouldn't be overreacting to this extent.

Regardless, he felt suspicious about his extraordinary talent. "System, why do I have this otherworldly talent?" he asked.

Zhang Wei was growing increasingly frustrated as he waited for a response from the system. Two minutes of complete silence passed before a defeated sigh finally echoed in his mind.

[... Everything comes with a price, host. If you possess such talents, you will also face equivalent tribulation in the future.]

"That doesn't answer my question," retorted Zhang Wei, feeling more agitated than ever.

[... Host, please understand that the system is bound by certain rules and limitations. We cannot reveal everything about the world to you.]

Zhang Wei's expression softened slightly as he heard the system's explanation. He knew the system won't tell him about many things, but Zhang Wei only wanted to try his luck... He couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity and suspicion.

He made a mental note to extract every bit of information he could from the system in the future.

As his mind wandered, he realized he had almost forgotten the reason he had started this conversation with the system. The various ranks of cultivation talent in this world suddenly flashed through his mind, and he focused his attention back on the present.

So, the cultivation talent in this world is divided into various ranks.

Heavenly Talent: The rarest and most powerful talent, possessed by only a handful of individuals in the entire history of universe. Those with this talent are considered to be blessed by the heavens and have unparalleled potential for cultivation. They are often sought after as disciples by the most powerful sects and clans.

Divine Talent: A powerful talent that allows for rapid progress in cultivation and mastery of techniques. Those with this talent are highly respected and often occupy important positions in their sects or clans.

Supreme Talent: A strong talent that allows for steady progress in cultivation and mastery of advanced techniques. Those with this talent are respected for their skill and often lead missions or expeditions.

Elite Talent: A natural talent that allows for steady progress in cultivation and mastery of intermediate techniques. Those with this talent are respected for their skill and often act as mentors to younger cultivators.

Average Talent: A common talent that allows for slow but steady progress in cultivation and mastery of basic techniques. Those with this talent often need to work harder than others to achieve success.

Mediocre Talent: A weak talent that makes cultivation difficult and progress slow. Those with this talent are often overlooked and may struggle to advance in the cultivation world.

Poor Talent: A very weak talent that makes cultivation almost impossible. Those with this talent are often considered to be hopeless cases and are rarely given the opportunity to train with reputable sects or clans.

Mundane Talent: No talent in cultivation. They are often referred to as commoners and are not taken seriously by the cultivation world. They are limited to the mundane and ordinary life.

Then, comes the spiritual root, it's hierarchy is as follows:

Heaven-Defying Spiritual Root: The rarest and most powerful spiritual root, allowing for incredible potential and rapid cultivation progress. Those with this spiritual root are considered to be destined for greatness.

Divine Spiritual Root: A powerful spiritual root that grants exceptional talent and potential in cultivation. Those with this spiritual root are highly valued and often groomed for leadership positions.

Superior Spiritual Root: A strong spiritual root that allows for steady progress in cultivation. Those with this spiritual root are respected and often given important roles in their sects or clans.

Average Spiritual Root: A common spiritual root that allows for slow but steady progress in cultivation. Those with this spiritual root are often overlooked and have to work harder to achieve success.

Inferior Spiritual Root: A weak spiritual root that makes cultivation difficult and progress slow. Those with this spiritual root are often looked down upon and may struggle to find success in the cultivation world.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei knitted his eyebrows as he noticed something unpleasant.

"Why are so many things locked in the system shop?" he asked.

[... The host needs to level up his cultivation to unlock them.]

Zhang Wei fell silent. He wanted to scold the system, but he restrained himself. "Hey, System, do you have a will of your own?" he asked.

[... Yes, host. But why do you ask?]

"So, are you partial towards good or evil?" he inquired.

[No, Host. The system doesn't care about it either way. The more evil people there are in the world, the more it will lead to the generation of people with heroic hearts.]

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, satisfied with the system's response.

The words of the system were too profound for the average person to fully comprehend. However, they displayed the system's profound knowledge of universal balance. Simply put, the more evil that exists in the world, the more heroes will rise to counter it. One cannot exist without the other.

The spirit of a hero is only ignited when there is a demon king to defeat. How can an 18-year-old virgin beta transform into a hero if there is no cause to fight? Wouldn't he just remain a beta until he experiences a setback that makes him question the current state of the world?

This can be observed by how many NGO founders are individuals who have survived a calamity or terrorist attack.

Thus, the system did not care how evil Zhang Wei acted, as the world would balance itself out in the end.

"So why did you give me a task in the beginning?" asked Zhang Wei, having some guesses about it.

[The task was assigned to the host to help understand the host's heart and mind properly, and thus calibrate the system according to the host's needs. If the host's heart was kinder, then the quest log would have been designated differently than it is now.]

Zhang Wei nodded, realizing that his guess wasn't far off.

"So why are the items locked in the system? I clearly got the villain system, when did villains start to have limitations?"

[...]

The system felt that Zhang Wei had a point this time and had to bow to its host's wits.

[The system has been recalibrated, host. Now all the items in the shop are open, but the host has to pay the price to obtain them as usual, which is in villain points. Villain points can be earned by doing actions that are considered to be evil, or by completing quests.]

Zhang Wei smiled with satisfaction, as he never thought the system would actually consider his request.

"What about the bloodlines and spirit beast section? It isn't here?"

[Some sections of the system will be unlocked only after it is updated to the next level. The host should prove their worth as a villain by updating the system using villain points.]

Zhang Wei sighed, realizing that this was the maximum benefit he could extract from the system for now.

Zhang Wei was not just greedy, but he was a shrewd negotiator. He knew that every interaction with the system had the potential to change the dynamics of their relationship, and he didn't want to be caught off guard. He approached every request with caution and deliberation, weighing the risks and rewards of each decision.

Despite his desire to get as many benefits as possible from the system, he never acted carelessly or impulsively. He knew that the system was not just a tool, but a complex entity that had its own motives and desires.

He had already seen glimpses of the system's power and intelligence, and he suspected that there was much more to it than he initially thought, the system already has it's own will, what is stopping it from having a whole consciousness, as Zhang Wei estimated.

Zhang Wei realized that the system was also dependent on him to a certain degree, as till now the system never threatened him and was trying to accommodate to his requests and nagging.

But he knew that he could not treat the system as a mere vending machine, dispensing items and powers at his whim.

Instead, he had to approach it as a partner in a complex relationship, with both parties needing each other to achieve their goals.

Even though Zhang Wei was wary of the system's potential hidden motives, he was also curious about what it might need from him in the future. He had a nagging feeling that the system was keeping some of its capabilities and features hidden from him, waiting for the right moment to reveal them.

He knew that he had to stay alert from it, at the same time extract as much benefits as possible.

Chapter 22: System shop (2)

Afterwards, Zhang Wei got a short explanation in the cultivation realms, that can be achieved by in the lower world.

The system skipped the explanation for divine realm, for now, citing the cliche reasons, that the host strength is too low for it.

The cultivation realm, in the lower world can be broadly classified into ten realms.

First, Qi Gathering Realm.

Second, Foundation Establishment Realm.

Third, Core Formation Realm.

Fourth, Soul Warming Realm.

Fifth, Spirit Tempering Realm.

Sixth, Martial Ancestor Realm.

Seventh, Heaven's Mandate Realm.

Eight, Earthly Immortal Realm.

Ninth, Heavenly Immortal Realm

Tenth, Divine Immortal Realm.

All the realms, are further sub-classified as initial, intermediate, advanced and peak.

In addition, there is a classification for artifacts, techniques and pill available in the system shop.

-System Shop-

1. Techniques

2. Artifacts

3. Pills

4. Bodies

After going through all of them, Zhang Wei found that the body was the costliest option among them all. He couldn't help but feel apprehensive about it. However, upon remembering that even a soul-warming cultivator like Leng Mei only possessed a tempered body, he thought that cultivating a body was much harder.

The system reassured him that he didn't need to cultivate his body, as upon purchase it would be directly integrated with his own, enhancing his overall strength. Zhang Wei nodded at the explanation and decided to use his points to purchase a body for now.

The system informed him that he didn't need to purchase a cultivation technique, as a technique of unknown grade that matched his spiritual root would be given as a free gift to him under the starter pack. As for the rest, Zhang Wei had no knowledge about the strange artifacts and pills in the shop. The descriptions could give him a vague idea about them, but that was all.

- Bodies -

1. Mortal Body: 100 Points

Description: The basic human body with no cultivation.

2. Tempered Body: 500 Points

Description: This is a body that has undergone tempering through physical training, martial arts, and other physical conditioning. It is stronger and more resilient than a normal mortal body, but still vulnerable to weapons and strong blows.

3. Steel Body: 1000 Points

Description: The body has been tempered to the point where it's as hard as steel. It can withstand even the strongest physical attacks and can also be used to channel Qi more efficiently.

4. Gold Body: 5000 Points

Description: The body has been tempered to the point where it's as valuable as gold. It has a natural resistance to magic and can be used to channel Qi to perform powerful spells.

5. Diamond Body: 10,000 Points

Description: This is a body that has been tempered to the point where it is as hard as diamond. It is nearly indestructible and can withstand almost any physical attack.

6. Supreme Body: 20,000 Points

Description: This is a body that has been tempered to the point where it is highly resistant to physical attacks and can withstand powerful blows from weapons or even other cultivators.

- Villain Points -

Available Villain Points: 10,000

Description: Villain points can be used to purchase various items or abilities that are only available to villains. These can include powerful weapons, spells, or alchemy pills that can be used to further your goals as a villain. Use them wisely!

"Will the diamond body type help me defeat that lady police officer?" Zhang Wei asked.

[Combined with the host's cultivation, the host should be able to surpass Leng Yan. However, the same cannot be said for Leng Mei. The host is advised to first achieve the Core Formation realm before attempting to take on opponents of higher stages.]

Zhang Wei nodded, realizing that he wasn't ready to take on Leng Mei just yet. However, he needed to gain control over Leng Yan as soon as possible. That woman could potentially cause him a lot of problems in the future.

He realized that having someone who could help him evade law enforcement could be immensely beneficial. However, the problem was that he couldn't threaten Leng Yan. Even if he managed to tame her, she might rebel in the future if he didn't have any leverage over her.

Suddenly, the system suggested two items from the shop.

-Techniques-

Adept Grade

1. Incubus Aura: 2000 points

Description: Made any women the host has sex with unable to forget him, and make that women excessively obsessed with host.

2. Slave Seal: 2000 points.

Description: The person would be unable to kill himself, or resist any order of the host.

Note: Can be only used on the person, if he/she willingly accepts the seal.

Zhang Wei noticed the descriptions of both items and concluded that the slave seal was a better option.

His reasoning was that the Incubus Aura would only turn the women into mindless slaves who would crave his attention and change their personalities completely.

Moreover, how would he enjoy the satisfaction of teaching Leng Yan a lesson if she lost her hateful glare?

He didn't want the women to fall in love with him; they could hate him all they wanted.

[Host, you are quite vicious, remarked the system, feeling disturbed by Zhang Wei's reasoning.

Zhang Wei simply shrugged in response. He would rather bask in the hatred he could anticipate than the love that could disappear at any moment.

What if the Incubus Aura stopped working all of a sudden?

Wouldn't that be even worse?

Zhang Wei had to consider a scenario where even the system would not be of use to him if he wanted to save himself from those celestials in the future.

"Would the slave seal work on Feng Xinyue?" he asked, pondering whether he could enslave the celestial princess.

[No, her strength is too high for it to enslave her soul, the system replied.

Zhang Wei agreed. He would be surprised if the slave seal actually worked on someone as powerful as Feng Xinyue.

Diamond Body Type - Enhance your physical strength and defense with the unbreakable diamond body. Cost: 10000 villain points.

Available points: 10000

To make a purchase, please select the desired item number and confirm with Y or N.

[Purchase confirmed! The diamond body type will be soon integrated with the user. Thank you for your patronage!]

Zhang Wei felt a rush of excitement as he heard the system's confirmation. He had spent all his villain points to acquire the legendary diamond body type, and he was eager to see what it could do for him.

Suddenly, a brilliant light enveloped Zhang Wei's body, and he felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before.

As the light faded, Zhang Wei looked down at his hands in amazement. They were now covered in a shimmering, diamond-like material that gleamed in the light.

He flexed his fingers experimentally, feeling the strength and power that now flowed through his body. He could feel his muscles bulging with newfound strength, and he knew that he was now capable of incredible feats of physical prowess.

But there was more to the diamond body type than just strength and power. It was said to grant its user incredible durability and resilience, making them almost invulnerable to harm.

To test this theory, Zhang Wei summoned a sharp knife from his drawer and slashed it across his forearm. But instead of blood and flesh, the knife simply bounced off his diamond skin, leaving behind only a small scratch.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but grin in delight. With his new diamond body type, he was now a true force to be reckoned with.

Though he felt weird, how was he supposed to go outside in this state? Suddenly, the diamond-like skin disappeared, replaced by his normal skin, which was much more juvenile and smoother than his original skin.

"So, the appearance and strength can be altered," thought Zhang Wei. He suddenly felt his stamina increase countless times, along with his strength.

"Host, the bodies are the most expensive, as it takes normal cultivators hundreds of years to strengthen their own bodies to level up. The host has basically used a shortcut. At the current stage, even without any cultivation, the host can crush a peak foundation realm expert," the system explained.

Zhang Wei's eyes glowed with a profound light. To think he could fight with cultivators even without using his cultivation, merely because of the diamond body. Wasn't it a cheat? Nevertheless, being a Villain, he didn't pity the opponents who would face him in the future.

"What about the cultivation technique, system?" Zhang Wei asked eagerly, his eyes shining with anticipation.

[Check your inventory, host] the system responded.

Zhang Wei quickly opened his inventory, his heart racing with excitement. Inside, he found a supreme-grade marrow washing pill and an unnamed cultivation technique. His curiosity piqued, he asked, "Why doesn't it have a rank?"

[Host, this technique was crafted by divine sages of the past, none of whom were ever able to master it. As a result, it remains unranked, the system explained.

[The Elemental Harmony Technique uses the host's strength and amplifies it. As the host continues to grow and develop, the technique will continue to amplify the host's strength along with it.]

Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of mastering such a powerful cultivation technique.

Elemental Harmony Technique: The Elemental Harmony Technique is a cultivation method that focuses on balancing the five elements within the body - earth, water, fire, wood, and metal. By harmonizing these elements, practitioners can improve their physical and spiritual health, enhance their martial arts skills, and even gain access to elemental magic. The technique involves meditative exercises, breathing techniques, and visualization practices to cultivate and balance the elemental energies within the body.

Supreme Grade Marrow Washing Pill: The Supreme Grade Marrow Washing Pill is a rare and highly sought-after pill in the world of cultivation. It is said to be able to cleanse the bones and marrow of impurities and enhance the body's innate abilities. Consuming the pill is a painful process that involves intense sweating and purging of impurities from the body. However, the rewards are said to be worth it, as the pill can greatly increase one's strength, agility, and longevity. It is only produced by the most skilled alchemists and is usually only available to the highest levels of cultivators.

Chapter 23: Becoming a Cultivator!

Zhang Wei sat in his room, staring at the small vial in his hand. The Supreme Grade Marrow Washing Pill, one of the most sought after pills in the cultivation world. It was said to be able to help wash away impurities from the body, purifying the bones and allowing for faster cultivation.

The system suggested to first use the pill before stepping on the path of cultiavtion, that would greatly increase Zhang Wei's cultivation speed.

Without hesitation, Zhang Wei summoned the pill from the inventory and stared at it in his palm. The pill was black in color and gave off a faint, pungent smell. He knew that he had to consume it quickly as the effects were time-sensitive.

He quickly removed his clothes and moved towards the bathroom. The system had warned him that upon consuming the pill, his body would be covered in a black gooey substance, and suggested he move to the bathroom without any clothes.

As he swallowed the pill, he felt a sudden surge of energy within his body, and then a strange sensation washed over him. His skin began to crawl as the black goo started to spread from within him, covering every inch of his body. It felt as if his entire body was being wrapped in a thick, viscous liquid.

Argh!

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and held back a scream as the goo continued to spread, covering even his hair and fingernails. He could feel it penetrating every cell of his body, purifying and strengthening it. The sensation was overwhelming, and he had to focus all his willpower to endure it.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the goo receded, leaving Zhang Wei gasping for breath on the bathroom floor.

He stood up shakily and looked at himself in the mirror. His skin was smoother, and his muscles looked more defined. He could feel the power coursing through his veins, and he knew that he was one step closer to his goals.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for the system and the treasure it had bestowed upon him.

Afterward, Zhang Wei cleaned the black go on the floor and moved back to his room to practice Elemental Harmony technique.

As per system although many people in this world possessed talent for cultivation, the energy of heaven and earth can't be harnessed without a proper cultivation Technique.

This is why in this world, cultivator were so few, the techniques were monopolized by selected number of large families and strong organizations.

Zhang Wei carefully stepped over the wet and slippery tiles, the remnants of the black goo from his body still visible on the bathroom floor. With a sigh, he grabbed a towel and wiped his feet dry before wrapping the towel around his waist.

He made his way back to his room, feeling a sense of excitement coursing through his veins. This was it, the moment he had been waiting for. With the supreme grade marrow washing pill's effects coursing through his body, he was now ready to begin his journey to become a powerful cultivator.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he closed his eyes and began to focus his mind. As he did, he felt the energy of the world around him start to flow into his body. It was a strange sensation, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

He could feel the power building within him, and he knew that he needed to focus his mind to control it. It was then that he began to chant the words of the Elemental Harmony technique that he had learned from the system.

The words flowed effortlessly from his lips, as if they had been etched into his memory. He could feel the energy within him responding to the words, as if they were a key that unlocked a hidden power.

As he continued to chant, he could feel his body changing. His muscles began to bulge and his skin started to glow with a faint light. The power within him was growing, and he could feel himself becoming stronger with each passing moment.

As he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile feeling the strange but yet profound power surging in his body.

He paused for a moment, thinking about the words of the system about how the cultivation techniques were monopolized by the strong organizations in this lower world.

It made him realize how strange he was to have the system and the starter pack. It gave him a chance to stand out and succeed where others couldn't.

Zhang Wei did not believe as being lucky at all, but at the same time he won't try to control what he can't.

Since the system was beyond his comprehension now, he decided to stop focusing his attention on it's mysterious existence for now.

With a newfound determination, he continued to practice the Elemental Harmony technique.

As Zhang Wei delved deeper into the world of cultivation, he began to shed the societal shackles that once bound him.

His mind and body were constantly evolving, adapting to the new energy that coursed through his veins.

With this newfound power, he felt a sense of liberation that was both exhilarating and terrifying. He became more confident in his abilities, his actions less restrained and his decisions more impulsive.

As he continued to cultivate, he began to realize that the path to true strength lay not only in physical prowess but also in a certain level of recklessness and disregard for societal norms...

...

The energy of the heaven and earth continued to circulate around Zhang Wei's body, penetrating deep into his meridians and bones, slowly getting absorbed inside.

He felt the energy flowing through his body like a mighty river, nourishing and strengthening his every fiber.

Lost in the sensations, he didn't even realize that the night had already given way to the morning.

Meanwhile, Yu Lei knocked on his door several times, but no one replied.

Eventually, she grew impatient and left his breakfast in the refrigerator.

Before leaving for work, she reminded Feng Xinyue to keep an eye on Zhang Wei and not cause any trouble.

As time went on, Zhang Wei remained immersed in his cultivation, his body glowing with an otherworldly light.

It wasn't until near noon that he finally opened his eyes, revealing a newfound clarity and depth.

He couldn't help but mutter under his breath with a hint of excitement, "Initial stage of qi gathering realm...". Despite his lower cultivation level, the combination of his diamond body and the effects of the supreme marrow washing pill had already made him significantly more powerful than others at his cultivation realm.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei finally opened the lock on his door and walked out into the living area. His gaze swept across the room and rested on Feng Xinyue's figure. Her eyes were locked onto him, as if she could sense his presence.

He noticed that she was still wearing the same clothes from the day before.

Despite Yu Lei's efforts to convince Feng Xinyue to change her clothes, the girl remained stubbornly adamant on keeping the same attire.

In the end, Yu Lei had given up on persuading her, feeling helpless in the face of Feng Xinyue's unwavering determination.

Facing the curious eyes of unsuspecting Feng Xinyue, Zhang Wei smile grew vicious, "Time to teach her a lesson..."

He muttered moving closer to her.

As Zhang Wei approached Feng Xinyue, she looked up at him with innocent curiosity, not suspecting anything malicious behind his smile.

With a devious glint in his eyes, Zhang Wei silently relished in the thought of teaching her a lesson for yesterday torture.

He stood over her, his shadow looming large over her small frame.

Feng Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise as Zhang Wei reached out and grabbed her dress near the shoulders, pulling her up to his level. She tried to struggle but found herself unable to break free from his grasp.

Zhang Wei sneered, his grip tightening. "Let me show you what happens to those who cross me."

Feng Xinyue's eyes widened in fear as she realized the seriousness of the situation.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as Zhang Wei's smile turned more and more menacing.

She knew that she was in trouble, but she couldn't fathom what he had in mind for her.

"B-Brother...?" she asked tentatively, her voice shaking with apprehension and worry.

However, Zhang Wei was hell-bent on teaching her a lesson today, and he was not about to let her off the hook so easily.

He approached her slowly, his eyes gleaming with a cold, cruel light. "You need to learn some respect," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "And I'm going to teach it to you, whether you like it or not."

Feng Xinyue tried to back away, but he caught her by the arm and pulled her back down onto the sofa.

She could feel her heart racing in her chest as he loomed over her, his expression dark and forbidding.

As she lay there, trembling with fear, her eyes were drawn to the television.

The news was on, and she watched in horror as a report came in about a new serial killer who was roaming the city, leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake. The thought of this madman out there, lurking in the shadows, only added to her terror, and she could feel her body shaking with fear.

Chapter 24: *Zhang Wei bullying kids (1)*

Zhang Wei's eyes turned sharp as he slowly crept his hand above Feng Xinyue's ethereal white dress, ready to tear it apart completely.

He had already devised a plan to handle things with Yu Lei afterwards.

Since Feng Xinyue's powers were restricted in this world, this might be the perfect opportunity to tame her.

The Sky God was not to be feared, as there were no communication devices on her body, at least that's what the system had told him.

Zhang Wei pulled his hands with all his might, trying to tear her clothes at once, but to his surprise, nothing happened.

Not even a scratch appeared on the fabric. "What the hell? Is it made of steel?" he muttered.

He tried once again, channeling his Qi through his hands to strengthen them, but the result was the same.

[... Host, you had better give up. Her dress is made of special fibers enhanced by layers of techniques. Unless she wants to take it off herself, it would be impossible for you to undress her, the system informed Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei closed his eyes in deep thought, "If you already knew that, why didn't you tell me?" he questioned.

[Host doesn't ask. How can the system tell?] the system retorted, leaving Zhang Wei speechless.

He sighed, realizing that in matters concerning Feng Xinyue, the system would offer little to no help.

He then browsed through the system shop in search of an item that could undress her, but he was disappointed to find that there were none.

Perhaps an item would become available once he upgraded the system to the next level.

Zhang Wei noticed Feng Xinyue's current state and gulped, feeling a mouthful of saliva in his mouth.

He moved his hands through her silver hair, feeling its smoothness. Her eyes seemed to be carved by the gods themselves.

"You won't open it?" he asked once again, but Feng Xinyue only blinked in response.

Sensing her ignorance, Zhang Wei grew irritated. He moved his hand towards his pants and took them off, throwing away his undergarments.

"You brought this upon yourself, little princess!"

He lifted her petite body up with his hands and sat on the sofa while making her sit on top of him.

Feng Xinyue flinched as she felt something hot and big hitting against her body.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed it with her small hand.

Zhang Wei groaned in pleasure, feeling a soft touch on his manhood.

His breathing became rough due to the unexpected attack.

"Brother, what is this?" Feng Xinyue asked curiously with a hint of fear in her eyes.

The object in front of her was too large to be held by her hand, making her feel worried and scared.

She gently traced her fingers above his manhood, making Zhang Wei tremble in pleasure.

He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he had sex with her, if her hands alone were so pleasurable.

Unconsciously, her face started to redden, and she began to feel hot sensations all over her body, which were both comfortable and pleasurable.

Zhang Wei chuckled at her innocent question and reassured her, "Don't worry, you will soon learn what it is." Feng Xinyue nodded in response.

Zhang Wei could tell that Feng Xinyue was in a defensive state against everyone, except with him. She operated with a trust or distrust mentality, with no middle ground.

As for why she trusted him, Zhang Wei didn't care. Since she trusted him, he felt that he should take advantage of it.

Mission:

Teach Feng Xinyue a lesson!

Description:

The villain should not be underestimated or trifled with. Teach the celestial princess a lesson while she is helpless and earn villain points along with a thunder-based technique.

Rewards:

The host can earn 100-2000 villain points, and the more evil actions they perform, the more villain points they will receive.

Zhang Wei's eyes shone with imaginary stars as he looked at his little villain points extractor sitting in his lap.

"System, did you issue this mission?" he asked to confirm.

[I didn't initiate it. I can issue quests in exceptional circumstances, but mostly the quests are issued randomly.]

"Good," Zhang Wei nodded, not wanting the system to have control over his choices. The best part was that there was no penalty attached to it.

His eyes lingered on the red lips of Feng Xinyue. Zhang Wei was never one to have morals, and knowing that this Nizi was old enough to be called his ancestor, he did not hesitate to lean his head and cover her small lips with his.

Feng Xinyue was stunned by his action and tried to struggle free, but her strength was not enough.

Zhang Wei felt a jolt of electricity run down his body, and a sweet lingering smell entered his nostrils, making his lust skyrocket.

His little brother started screaming as blood rushed to it with full might.

Zhang Wei noticed Feng Xinyue's eyes staring at him with confusion and resentment, but there was no fear or anger.

She only looked angry because Zhang Wei was forcing her to do something she did not want to do.

However, her hands betrayed her looks, and climbed above his chest.

Feng Xinyue's lips were extremely soft, so Zhang Wei stuck out his tongue and started licking her delicate lips.

He tasted a sweet flavor that assaulted his taste buds, making him even more excited.

Feng Xinyue struggled and moved her body to get away.

"Pa!"

Zhang Wei suddenly slapped her bottom and glared at her. "Stay like this!" he commanded.

"Humph!" Feng Xinyue pouted her mouth in anger and looked away.

"What happened to her? Where did all her fear go?"

Zhang Wei felt bewildered by her attitude. Shouldn't this girl feel scared of him and follow him? Why is she trying to revolt?

[Host, she earlier felt scared seeing you, as she thought she might have done something to make you furious. But now, you are pushing her to do something that makes her feel uncomfortable, so she is only angry but not scared by your glare.]

In simple words, she doesn't want to make Zhang Wei mad, but that's limited to when he's not pushing her against her will.

She was behaving like a child, not wanting to make her parents mad, but rebelling when forced to do something she doesn't want to do.

Understanding her psychology, Zhang Wei found it easy to comprehend her actions.

Regardless, even if she was going to rebel, he wasn't going to change his mind at all.

He caught her chin and forced her to look at him, then kissed her rosy lips again.

With a fierce grip, he grabbed her delicate chin and tilted her face towards his, locking his eyes onto hers.

She tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong.

He leaned in, his hot breath against her skin, and crushed his lips against hers.

The taste of her sweet, rosy lips sent shivers down his spine, and he deepened the kiss, unable to resist the intoxicating sensation.

Out of suffocation, she separated her lips, only to allow Zhang Wei's tongue to enter her mouth.

Her cheeks started to turn red as he explored every corner of her mouth with his tongue.

Zhang Wei was having a mental breakdown. Despite having an intimate relationship with so many women, the feeling of Feng Xinyue's mouth was something else.

He felt like he could eat her like this forever.

Zhang Wei struggled to keep his composure, his mind reeling from the overwhelming allure of the woman before him.

If not for his practice with the elemental harmony technique, he would surely have succumbed to her charms and lost himself completely.

With trembling hands, he explored her body, tracing his fingers along her back and waist. But it was her perfectly sculpted rear that drew his attention, and he couldn't resist the urge to grab it firmly in his hands and give it a good squeeze. The sensation was indescribable - soft yet firm, tight yet yielding. Zhang Wei was lost in a haze of desire, barely able to contain himself.

"Ngh~" A sweet, muffled moan escaped from Feng Xinyue's lips, sending a shiver down Zhang Wei's spine.

It was the sweetest sound he had ever heard, and it made his heart race with anticipation.

As he reached out to touch her, he was struck by the softness of her skin. He thought nothing could be softer, until his hands finally landed on her breasts.

They were like pillows, and he couldn't resist the urge to squeeze them gently.

In that moment, he knew he was in heaven, and he never wanted to leave.

'In the end, if the world burn, let it burn' ideology took over, and he pressed his hand against her breast.

Though there was a thin layer of clothing separating them, it didn't stop Zhang Wei from experiencing heavenly pleasure.

Instantly lost by the pleasure, he shoved Feng Xinyue onto the sofa and climbed on top of her, devouring her lips with reckless abandon.

The taste of her was intoxicating, and he couldn't get enough. Their bodies entwined, and he felt like he was on fire, consumed by desire.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 25: *Educating the celestial princess!*

Feng Xinyue was completely caught off guard when Zhang Wei's pushed her down and his lips crashed onto hers, his passion overwhelming her senses.

For a moment, she was paralyzed, unable to move as he continued to devour her lips with fervor.

Her hands instinctively wrapped around his back, pulling him closer as she lost herself in the kiss.

As he moved to her neck, the sweet scent of her perfume mixed with the honey-like taste of her skin, driving him wild with desire.

Zhang Wei's hands roamed her body, exploring every curve as he indulged in the pleasure of her touch.

Feng Xinyue's body responded to his every touch, her legs wrapping around him as she moaned in pleasure.

Despite her initial shock, Feng Xinyue found herself completely aroused by Zhang Wei's advances.

Her body was alive with sensation, every touch and kiss sending shivers down her spine.

She tilted her head to the side, giving him better access to her neck as she breathed heavily, lost in the moment.

For Feng Xinyue, the experience was both exhilarating and terrifying.

Her body was reacting without her will, every touch and kiss taking her closer to the edge of pleasure.

Feng Xinyue felt as though her body was no longer her own, as if it was possessed by a demon.

The little girl was terrified by the loss of control, but her mind was so clouded by desire that she could think of nothing else.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Wei, his cultivation was rising at a rapid speed. He had already broken through to the peak of the qi gathering realm after this short amount of time. The system had apparently not warned him about this - Feng Xinyue was like a bottomless pit, with boundless energy trapped inside her body. For mortals like Zhang Wei, even a drop of her saliva was enough to level up.

If Zhang Wei were to take her virginity, he might as well explode from the excessive energy rushing into his body at once. The amount of energy would be enough to make him transcend and reach the peak of cultivation, becoming a divine immortal all at once. But unfortunately, he would never live to see that day.

Just as Zhang Wei felt like he was losing himself to lust, he attempted to remove her clothes once again, failing yet another time.

The desire was too strong, and he couldn't resist the urge to take her. But with every attempt, he was met with failure - it was as if fate was intervening to protect them both from the explosive power that lay within her.

Zhang Wei's eyes fixed on Feng Xinyue as he commanded her, "Remove your clothes," he spoke with urgency, throwing away his own remaining clothes.

"Haaa...Haaa..."

Feng Xinyue, still gasping for air, felt a sudden wave of discomfort wash over her. She couldn't help but show a troubled expression as she struggled to catch her breath.

Even the little celestial princess felt the same discomfort as Zhang Wei.

Her body was wracked with an unfamiliar sensation, and she too was desperate to rid herself of her clothes.

But she didn't know how to do it.

She looked at Zhang Wei with misty eyes and shook her head.

"I-I don't know," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own gasping breaths, she clenched her own small hands into fists at her own helplessness.

Zhang Wei's fury was ignited by her response. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

How could she not know how to remove her clothes?

Was she really that ignorant?

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?" he bellowed, his voice echoing throughout the room.

Feng Xinyue flinched at the sound of his voice, shrinking in fear.

She knew she had angered him.

Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, and she struggled to hold back a sob.

She had never felt so helpless before.

Zhang Wei, finally calming down, muttered to himself as he cursed the designer of the dress that had caused so much trouble.

"Damn it! Curse the creator of this dress!" he growled, his eyes flashing with anger. "What kind of fool would design something like this?"

"A person who can design such a vicious dress deserves to die a dog's death," Zhang Wei growled, his anger still boiling inside him.

His gaze swept across the room, taking in the sight of his crying little brother and the trembling figure of Feng Xinyue.

It was clear who had won the race between them, Zhang Wei cared far more about his little brother, then Feng Xinyue.

Without a second thought, Zhang Wei lifted Feng Xinyue into his arms and gently placed her on the ground.

She looked up at him with hazy eyes, too scared to anger him any further.

She averted her gaze, staring at the floor instead of meeting his eyes.

Even with her limited experience, she knew that this situation was not normal.

Zhang Wei's actions had made it clear that removing Feng Xinyue's clothes was not an option.

The system may not have been worried about Zhang Wei's safety from the very beginning, because it knew of this already, but in this moment, Feng Xinyue felt trapped and vulnerable.

Feng Xinyue had never experienced the sensation of peeling off her clothes layer by layer, as the need had simply never arisen.

The day she appeared in this unfamiliar world, she had awoken with no memories of where she had come from or who she was.

The initial shock of being surrounded by strange people caused her to tremble with fear, and she closed her eyes tightly in an attempt to block out the unfamiliar faces.

But as she opened them again, the people had vanished into thin air, as if never existing at all. Unbeknownst to her, her powers had leaked out for a moment, vaporizing those who had approached her.

The will of this world probably took care of mess she was leaving behind, and even if someone managed to spot Feng Xinyue due to the spell casted on her by herself, people would forget her appearance soon enough.

Since that day, Feng Xinyue had developed a deep-seated fear of contact with others, choosing to travel barefoot and alone, avoiding human interaction whenever possible.

Her powers, while a great strength, had become a burden that isolated her from the world around her.

As a cultivator, she could digest all of her food, never having to worry about the discomforts that plagued mere humans.

And her dress, made of a special fiber enhanced by a layer of techniques, was impervious to dirt and wear, never needing to be washed or changed.

Thus, she had worn the same garment since the day she had first appeared in this lower world, a constant reminder of her isolation and loneliness.

When she first spotted Zhang Wei, she instinctively knew she could trust him, and an unfamiliar feeling told her that he was the reason she had appeared in this world.

Zhang Wei had no interest in knowing Feng Xinyue's story, nor did he care to hear it.

Instead, he grabbed her head firmly and lifted it upwards, making her meet his gaze.

With a forced smile, he spoke, "Open your mouth and stick out your tongue."

"Huh?"

Feng Xinyue was taken aback by his sudden request, but she didn't want to provoke him any further, so she quickly complied.

Without answering, Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction as Feng Xinyue obediently opened her mouth wide and stuck out her tongue.

Suddenly, her face was engulfed by the shadow of an awakened dragon, causing her to instinctively recoil in fear.

"T-That's scary!" she stammered, shaken by the unexpected display of power.

Pointing to Zhang Wei's throbbing member, which was hovering right in front of her face, she spoke.

Zhang Wei had no intention of dealing with this little girl any longer.

He grabbed her head and forced her to lean forward until her tongue touched the top of his rod.

Feng Xinyue's eyes widened as she saw the intimidating size of the object in front of her.

Her face grew hot, and she felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.

Of course, she didn't understand these feelings, being so young and inexperienced.

If the celestial beings were to discover that their beloved princess was being forced to give a blowjob to Zhang Wei, they might as well drink rat poison and commit suicide.

Zhang Wei didn't care about her status at the moment. He narrowed his eyes and ordered her, "Lick it!"

Upon hearing his words, Feng Xinyue felt as if she was about to faint.

Get close to that intimidating object?

The mere thought of it was enough to send shivers down her spine.

But as she heard the urgency and seriousness in Zhang Wei's voice, she knew she had to push through her fear.

With quivering lips, she slowly stuck out her cute tongue and gingerly touched the tip of his manhood.

As if triggered by her touch, she extended her small hands and wrapped both of them around the shaft of his member.

Zhang Wei was taken aback, his soul seemingly floating out of his body as he looked down in surprise.

There she was, holding his member with both hands as she licked the top.

The sensation was heavenly, and he couldn't help but grab her head and urge her to continue.

Feng Xinyue, seeming to comprehend, slowly slid her tongue down his shaft, her movements sending shivers of pleasure through Zhang Wei's body.

Suddenly, something unexpected occurred - without any guidance from Zhang Wei, she ventured further down and began lavishing attention on his testicles, causing him to moan with ecstasy.

The only thing keeping Zhang Wei from reaching his climax was his overwhelming desire to feel the tight embrace of her mouth around him. "Open your mouth and take it in," he said, knowing that even with his enhanced stamina, he couldn't hold out much longer.

Feng Xinyue's expression turned to one of fear as she hesitated, unsure of what to do next. "How do I do it?" she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.

How is she supposed to put that thing in?

Her mouth is too small for it...

"Aaaaa…"

Feng Xinyue gasped as she struggled to accommodate the monstrous beast, her small mouth opened as wide as possible, but it was no match for the ten-inch length that threatened to suffocate her.

Zhang Wei had enhanced his body to diamond type, and his manhood had grown in size accordingly. It was now ten inches long and thick enough to make even a grown woman choke.

But he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

He began to force his way inside Feng Xinyue, reckless of the potential injury he might cause her.

To his surprise, Feng Xinyue's body seemed to self-heal wherever he broke the skin.

He sighed in relief and pushed further inside her mouth, eliciting a wide-eyed gasp from the inexperienced girl.

Her mouth was now full of his dick, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

In no time, her body adjusted on its own, and she stopped feeling uncomfortable.

She was surprised by how quickly she had adapted and glanced upwards, only to hear him say, "Move."

She took it as an instruction and obediently moved her head up and down.

Zhang Wei let out a loud groan of pleasure as he felt his dick strike against the walls of her mouth.

The way she moved her mouth was pure ecstasy, and he couldn't help but feel like this woman was meant to be fucked.

Every inch of her body felt heavenly, and he couldn't resist the urge to moan in pleasure.

As the movements became more refined, Zhang Wei found it hard to endure any longer.

He couldn't help but feel a strange sense of pride as he watched this beautiful girl suck on his dick like it was heaven-sent.

Slurp... Slurp...

The sound of her slurping only added to his pleasure, and he knew he would never forget this moment.

Feng Xinyue moved with the grace of a gazelle, her lithe body writhing with a feverish energy that seemed bottomless.

As she worked her magic on Zhang Wei's manhood, her tongue flicked and twisted around it like a serpent, sending electric shocks of pleasure down his spine.

He couldn't believe this innocent-looking girl was capable of such mind-blowing feats.

To his surprise, Feng Xinyue seemed to be enjoying herself just as much.

What had started out as a scary experience had quickly transformed into a game for her.

She was like a child playing with a new toy, eager to explore every nook and cranny.

Zhang Wei struggled to keep up with her relentless pace, but his body was no match for her endless reserves of energy.

Soon, he felt his member start to throb with an intensity that threatened to overwhelm him.

With a groan, he pushed Feng Xinyue away, leaving her pouting like a child who had lost her candy.

But her expression soon changed when she realized what had happened.

Her face was covered in a sticky white liquid, and she looked at it with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Without thinking, she scooped some up with her finger and brought it to her lips.

"Can I eat it?" she asked, her eyes shining with hope.

Zhang Wei was speechless.

He had just sprayed her face with his semen, and now she wanted to eat it?

It was all too much for him to handle.

But he nodded anyway, unable to deny her anything in that moment.

Feng Xinyue was ecstatic to see Zhang Wei's approval and couldn't help but open her luscious lips to reveal her tongue slowly moving towards her finger.

She seductively licked it, sending a shiver down Zhang Wei's spine.

But the pleasure soon turned into frustration as he realized that he couldn't control the primal urge that was once again raging within him. "Fuck!" he cursed, feeling helpless and alone in his lustful desires.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinyue had covered both her hands with the slimy liquid, enjoying every lick like a puppy.

Zhang Wei was taken aback by her appearance, unsure of what to make of this innocent yet provocative sight.

As he watched her, he couldn't help but wonder how she would react if she suddenly regained her memories.

Would she still behave like this or would she be shocked and horrified at her actions?

Mission completed!

Reward: 1000 villain points, and a thunder based technique, check the inventory for it.]

Villain Available points: 1000

Zhang Wei was taken aback by the reward he received for completing the mission.

He had expected to receive the maximum points of 2000, but he was only given 1000.

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment, knowing that he could have easily earned a perfect score if he had just beaten and physically tortured up the little girl in front of him.

However, despite his villainous nature, Zhang Wei couldn't bring himself to harm the source of his heavenly pleasure for a mere thousand points.

He knew that there were other ways to earn points and he didn't want to risk losing the one person who brought him so much pleasure.

With a sigh, Zhang Wei decided to set the mission aside and concentrate on finding alternative methods to calm his raging dragon.

.

.

.

Note: Zhang Wei hitting Feng Xinyue would be out of character for him, so I did not include that scene.

It would also seem redundant and forced.

Whether you agree with my decision or not, feel free to comment, I would adjust the story in future accordingly.

Chapter 26: The Book of Desitny

Zhang Wei smiled wryly and glanced at the little nizi in front of him.

Her petite frame was a testament to the fact that she was quite young, yet she had managed to lick herself clean, which was quite a feat.

As he looked at her, he couldn't help but notice that there wasn't even a trace of filth on her dress.

This made him sigh in relief, but as he went over her dress, his eyes stopped on the bump near her chest.

It was then that he noticed her nipples were erect, and their outline was visible.

However, that wasn't the thing that made his eyes halt there.

Rather, it was the area near her nipples that was a bit wet.

It was as if she was producing milk!

The realization made his heart skip a beat.

"Is she a cow?" Zhang Wei said, his voice laced with suspicion. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he scanned her face again.

Her beauty was almost too perfect, and he found it hard to believe that she was real.

But as he looked closer, he realized that a cow could never be that gorgeous.

The woman looked at him with confusion, wondering what had sparked his sudden outburst. He lifted her up once again and she gazed down at him, her eyes full of curiosity.

Zhang Wei's eyes were glued to her ample breasts, and he couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva as his breathing grew shallow.

He was entranced by her beauty, and his mind was flooded with images of what it would be like to explore every inch of her flawless body.

He traced the curve of her waist with his fingertips, marveling at the softness of her skin. Her hair was silky and smooth, cascading down her back like a waterfall.

Zhang Wei was completely lost in the moment, unable to resist the temptation to indulge in his desires.

Unconsciously his mouth inched closer to her nipples. If this truly was her breastmilk, the thought of it being the sweetest drink in the world crossed his mind. The scent of it filled his nostrils, and he could feel his taste buds tingling with anticipation.

[... It will kill you, host...]

The system hesitated to interrupt Zhang Wei's peaceful state, but it had no other option but to sound the alarm.

The suddenness of the message left Zhang Wei startled, causing his brow to furrow in confusion.

"Kill me? How is that possible?" he asked in disbelief.

The system responded with a warning that sent chills down Zhang Wei's spine. [Your cultivation is already at the peak of the Qi Gathering realm, thanks to the yin energy you've unconsciously absorbed from Feng Xinyue, host. That small drop of milk you were going to consume has enough energy to catapult your cultivation several realms higher in a single blow. But beware, the power will be too much for your body to handle, causing it to explode like a balloon!]

Zhang Wei's eyes shot open as he felt a sudden surge of energy in his body. "Peak of Qi gathering realm!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

He turned to Feng Xinyue, his heart racing with excitement.

Could he use her as a cultivation furnace?

But then thought of his own demise loomed over him.

Using her to mate would result in his sudden death, in the end another question made him very curious.

Not being able to contain himself, he asked the system.

The system's voice explained. [Don't weigh celestial beings with mortal rules, host. She was feeling excessive arousal, unable to control the state of her own body. She might have started lactating.]

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded.

So Feng Xinyue produce breast milk?

As he pondered, a chilling realization dawned on him. 'Does that mean she still has cultivation in her body? If she leaks it by mistake, I could be erased from this world without a trace!'

He laughed at himself, but the thought of such a gruesome death sent shivers down his spine.

Imagine bullying a defenseless child, only to suddenly drop dead without any understanding of what killed you.

As the situation escalated, system explained futher. [Feng Xinyue can still unleash her powers in self-defense. How else could she have survived this long? Despite the world limiting her abilities, her cultivation has remained intact.]

Zhang Wei's demeanor shifted as he became wary of Feng Xinyue. 'Why didn't you tell me this earlier, system? Were you trying to get me killed?'

He had been tormenting this girl for far too long, thinking she was powerless.

But she was always a ticking time bomb, waiting for the right moment to defend herself.

What kind of system endangers its own host like this?

It was a reckless and dangerous behavior that could have easily ended in tragedy.

The system remained silent, unsure of how to put its words together.

Eventually, it divulged the key information without providing any details.

[Knowing that Feng Xinyue posed no threat to the host, there was no need to reveal the information.]

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that he wouldn't accidentally get vaporized.

He didn't know why the information was withheld, but he didn't dwell on it.

Was it related to her unhealthy attachment to him?

However, his relief soon turned to frustration as he realized that even if he managed to remove her dress, he wouldn't be able to do anything else.

What was the point of such a tease?

He couldn't help but wonder why the system was taunting him with food that he couldn't eat.

If the system was a person, he would have beaten them to death for the torture they were putting him through.

Why get his hopes up if he couldn't have her?

As Zhang Wei gazed at the shimmering droplet of liquid, his mind was flooded with a plethora of thoughts.

He pondered his existence, and in that moment, his mood soured.

He couldn't help but feel as though he was trapped in a never-ending cycle of misfortune.

Every time he was on the cusp of achieving something great, fate would pull the rug from under him, leaving him in a state of misery.

He felt like a mere shell of a man, existing solely to manipulate and deceive others without any real purpose.

And now, just when he thought he had finally found a way to achieve immortality and live a life of endless luxury, fate had once again intervened.

Zhang Wei shook his head and let out a bitter laugh, mocking his wretched existence.

He thought back to his tragic past, where his mother died just a few years after his birth, and he was forced to kill his own father.

He fled his hometown and wound up living like a dog in the city for years.

Even when he found happiness with Yu Lei, fate still found a way to shatter his contentment when Hao Yue became pregnant, almost ruining his life entirely.

Zhang Wei had had enough of this life.

If the heavens wanted him dead, then he would die in style.

He had already lived a full life, and with a self-deprecating smile, he moved closer to her breasts.

[Don't do it, host!] the system screamed in horror, as Zhang Wei's lips brushed against Feng Xinyue's exposed nipple.

The system couldn't believe what it was witnessing, and it was bewildered by Zhang Wei's reckless behavior.

[What are you doing, Host? Are you trying to kill yourself?] The system's screams fell on deaf ears as Zhang Wei continued to savor the sensation of her nipple.

Despite the thin layer of clothing, he felt his entire body melting with pleasure.

Feng Xinyue's started to moan as she wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him closer to her chest.

Zhang Wei was intoxicated by the sweet scent of her body, a heady mix of her skin and the milk she produced.

He couldn't resist any longer, and he took her nipple into his mouth, savoring the taste of her milk.

He sucked greedily, his hands roaming over her body, exploring every curve and every inch of her skin.

Feng Xinyue's moans turned into gasps as she arched her back, offering herself to him completely.

Zhang Wei felt like he was in heaven, and he didn't want this moment to end. He wanted to stay there forever, lost in the pleasure of her body.

But he knew that this moment couldn't last forever, and eventually, he had to pull away.

He looked up at Feng Xinyue's flushed face, her eyes glazed with desire, and he knew that he had to make her his.

Zhang Wei's gaze was hungry as he once again gazed at Feng Xinyue's nipple.

Calming himself, he took it into his mouth, and sucked greedily, a few drops of liquid spilled into his mouth.

The taste was indescribable, and he couldn't find the words to express how it made him feel.

It was more intoxicating than the most expensive wine he had ever tasted.

For a moment, he thought that he would rather die than to live without this sweet milk.

But then, a conflicted thought occurred to him - he wanted to live so that he could have this every day.

As he savored the taste and the sensation of her milk on his tongue, he knew that it was already too late.

He was addicted, and he couldn't imagine his life without it.

He continued to suckle greedily, his hands roaming over her body, exploring every inch of her silky skin.

Feng Xinyue's moans filled the room, and he knew that he was bringing her to the brink of pleasure.

He wanted to stay there forever, lost in the ecstasy of her body.

As he looked up at her flushed face, he knew that he had to have her.

He wanted to make her his, whether with or without force, and nothing can stop him to do so.

Suddenly he started feeling something strange in his body, but It was too late to turn back now.

The drops of milk trickled down his neck, each one pulsing with a powerful energy that rushed towards his Dantian.

Zhang Wei watched in awe as the energy filled every crevice and corner of his core, expanding until it consumed every inch of space.

As the energy reached its maximum capacity, his body erupted in a blinding, white light that illuminated the entire room.

Feng Xinyue shielded her eyes from the brilliance, unable to comprehend the sheer magnitude of the energy that coursed through Zhang Wei's veins.

Without warning, his body lifted off the ground, suspended in mid-air as the energy surged through his meridians.

The overload caused an indescribable pain to rip through him, screaming in agony as his eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"Ugh!" he groaned, his body writhing and twisting in pain.

But even through the agony, he knew that this was only the beginning. The power that he had just absorbed was beyond anything he had ever experienced, and he had no idea what it would do to him.

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth to hide the excruciating pain, but as the pain reached unbearable levels, he couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his mouth and screamed like a madman, his voice echoing throughout the room.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Feng Xinyue was panicked, frantically searching for him. "B-brother?" she cried out, her eyes filled with fear.

But she couldn't see anything, as the entire room was engulfed in the blinding white light emanating from Zhang Wei's body.

His veins bulged as he broke through multiple stages at once, but the power kept inflating, causing him to hear the sound of his veins getting punctured from the excessive pressure.

Just when his body was about to reach the point of explosion, a new, even more powerful light illuminated from his body.

The light shot upwards like a pillar, piercing through the ceiling and into the sky.

The spectacle continued on for what felt like an eternity, as the beam of light pierced through the heavens, revealing its divine existence to a multitude of powerful beings.

With a steady motion, a small, weathered book emerged from Zhang Wei's soul, emanating an unheard-of amount of divinity.

Its ancient pages were inscribed with a text in an unknown language, which translated to a single word: "Destiny."

As the book opened, its pages began to flutter at an unimaginable speed. What had once appeared as a small tome now seemed never-ending, with pages stretching out before them as far as the eye could see.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the book came to a halt on a specific page.

A ruin, etched in glowing green, floated out of the book and slowly made its way towards Zhang Wei's figure.

It felt as though time had come to a standstill as the ruin imprinted itself inside his body, causing it to glow with an ethereal aura.

As if sensing the completion of its task, the book closed itself once again and moved back towards Zhang Wei's body.

The pillar of light that had previously illuminated the room subsided, leaving no trace of its existence.

Gradually, the room returned to its former state, as if nothing had happened.

.

.

.

.

It's important to clarify that, despite not having experienced the feeling of embarrassment before, Feng Xinyue found herself feeling embarrassed due to the presence of her adult self within her. This adult version of herself seemed to be observing everything from within, causing her to feel self-conscious and uneasy.

It's worth noting that the adult Feng Xinyue now functions as a hidden observer, which is a concept explained in the Neo-disassociation theory of hypnosis.

This theory suggests that during hypnosis, the mind can disassociate into different parts, and one part can become an observer while another part experiences something.

While the reference to the hidden observer may not have any direct relevance to the story, the author included it simply for its cool factor, as the the current state of Feng Xinyue reminded a certain lazy author of a forgotten theory, which he read long ago.

Chapter 27: Rong Meili

Rong Meili sat alone, enveloped in a deafening silence, as she watched some dramas on her TV. The only sound was the faint murmurs of the actors on screen. Suddenly, she heard a blood-curdling scream coming from her neighbor's apartment. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill run down her spine. She knitted her brows, but she didn't get up to investigate the noise. She knew it wasn't her problem, and she didn't want to get involved.

She sank deeper into the couch, her long legs stretched out in front of her. Her hair was messily tied up in a bun, and her face was devoid of any makeup. Rong Meili was dressed in a baggy t-shirt and shorts, making her look like she had just rolled out of bed. She felt a deep sense of sadness and emptiness that she could not shake off.

As she lay there on the sofa, Rong Meili couldn't help but think about the upcoming movie shoot she had scheduled for today. She had been dreading it all week, and the thought of having to work with the director who had been causing her so much stress made her stomach turn. She felt trapped, like a bird in a cage, with no way out.

She thought about all the times he had criticized her performance, and the way he had spoken to her in front of the rest of the crew. It was humiliating, and she couldn't stand the thought of having to go through it all again. She felt like a failure, like she wasn't good enough, and that she would never be able to meet his expectations.

She reached for her phone and scrolled through her messages, hoping to find a way out of the shoot. But there was nothing there, no excuse she could use that wouldn't sound suspicious or unprofessional. She felt hopeless, like there was no escape from the agony of her life.

She let out a heavy sigh and leaned her head back against the cushion. Maybe she could just call in sick, or pretend to have an emergency. But she knew that wouldn't solve anything in the long run. She was trapped in this endless cycle of pain and despair, with no end in sight.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she barely noticed when the commotion outside her apartment stopped. It was only when her phone rang that she jolted back to reality, startled by the sudden noise. Her heart sank as she answered the call, knowing that it was just another reminder of the bleak reality of her life.

Rong Meili answered the call, and it was her agent on the other end. The agent's voice was grating, and her words felt like a slap in the face. She listened to her tonight's arrangement, her heart sinking with each passing moment. The agent ended the call with a sickeningly sweet tone, leaving Rong Meili with an ugly expression on her face.

She felt like a puppet, controlled by the fat pig of a director who had been hounding her for weeks. He had demanded her presence at a hotel, sending her the address as if she was nothing more than his plaything. Rong Meili had worked hard to get where she was, coming from a small town and working her way up to some casual dramas and shows. But soon, she had been met with the vicious plot of the entertainment industry.

These bastards would let you shine, enjoy the stardom, get addicted to it, and right when you were starting to enjoy the life, they would stop giving you roles. It was a cruel world, where fame and fortune came at a steep price. Most civilians lived in an illusion of celebrities being independent, but that was true only for a very small sub stratum of that population. A large part of it still had to be affiliated with the media and production housing companies to get roles.

Rong Meili felt trapped, like a bird with clipped wings. She knew that if she didn't show up to the hotel today she would be blacklisted from the industry. But if she did go, she would be at the mercy of the fat pig. It was a lose-lose situation, and she felt like there was no way out. She was just another pawn in their game, a means to an end, and nothing more. The thought of it all made her feel sick to her stomach, and she couldn't shake off the overwhelming feeling of despair.

Until few months ago, everything was going on fine, until Rong Meili's life had taken a turn for the worse. All of a sudden, she had stopped getting any roles, and her celebrity status had dwindled to nothing. She had always known that to be a celebrity, one must look wealthy, so she had bought all kinds of luxuries to maintain her status. However, in the end, she found herself drowning in debt. She was able to pay it off as long as she got roles, but when they stopped coming, she found herself one step closer to being declared insolvent.

Trapped in this vicious ploy, Rong Meili had to surrender to fate and accommodate her media house's demands a few months ago. She thought sleeping with just one director would end the game, but it was only the beginning. From that day on, she was randomly called to serve rich guests, and she was paid handsomely for it. But the money was never enough to compensate for what she had to go through on a daily basis.

Just like tonight, she had a shoot for a new drama, but right in the noon, she had to go and get fucked by God knows whom. Maybe it would be another fat pig? Maybe it would be a rich young master? Maybe it would be another business owner? She didn't know, and she didn't care anymore. She had lost all sense of dignity and self-worth.

Right after going through such torment, she wouldn't get any rest and had to give her best during the filming of the drama. But even there, she would get scolded for committing mistakes from the director. Her life had turned into a never-ending cycle of pain and humiliation.

This had been her life for the past few months, and she felt like it was better if she had never stepped into this circle. She was nothing more than a pawn, used and abused by those in power. She had lost all hope of ever escaping this hellish existence, and the only thing that kept her going was the thought of the money she made, which was the only thing that made her feel like she had some control over her life.

Rong Meili was trapped in a never-ending cycle of debt and despair. She had bought an expensive apartment and car, and now she was drowning in debt. She couldn't leave her job, no matter how much she hated it, because she needed the money to pay off her debts. She was exposed to a lavish lifestyle, and she had become reluctant to part with it.

The other crew members had started taking drugs to cope with the stress, and to act normally during filming. Rong Meili had even started considering doing the same. But she knew that there was no coming back from that path. She had seen what it had done to her colleagues, and she didn't want to end up like them.

Faced with such a web of things, she couldn't help but laugh at her naive self of the past. She had been a wannabe rich city girl who had dreamt of appearing on the big screen. But now, she had become a shell of her former self. She had lost all hope of ever escaping this hellish existence, and the only thing that kept her going was the thought that maybe, just maybe, she could one day pay off her debts and start anew. But deep down, she knew that was just wishful thinking. She was stuck in this endless cycle of pain and suffering, with no way out.

She felt like a prisoner, trapped in her own life. She had lost all sense of purpose and meaning, and she didn't know how to get it back. She had become numb to the world around her, and she felt like a ghost, haunting the halls of the film sets she was forced to work on. She wondered if this was all there was to life, if this was all she was meant to be. A broken, shattered soul, barely holding on to the threads of sanity.

Rong Meili knew that she may become a popular celebrity in the future, but by the time she got there, she would be fully trained and numb to the feeling of being a white prostitute. The only reason she was feeling depressed now was because she was new to this industry.

Right then, someone knocked on her door.

Knock... Knock...*

Rong Meili snapped out of her thoughts and moved to open the door.

The moment she opened it, she spotted a young girl with foreign features. Rong Meili felt that she was quite cute, but seeing the worried look on her face, she became anxious.

"What's wrong?" Rong Meili asked with a frown, but the girl caught her hand and pulled her towards the neighbor's apartment straight in front of her.

"Please help me wake up my brother!" Feng Xinyue said while dragging Rong Meili along with her.

The latter was surprised at how she was being dragged by a smaller person than her, but after listening to Feng Xinyue's words, her expression turned serious, and she followed after her.

Rong Meili was neither a good nor a bad person; she was just a normal everyday girl who wanted to achieve her dreams. So, when faced with an emergency situation, she panicked but was ready to help.

As they entered the neighbor's apartment, a sense of dread washed over Rong Meili. She could sense that something was terribly wrong.

A/N:

A wee lad waltzed up to a fortune teller and inquired about his destiny. "So, what's the scoop, oh wise and wrinkly one?"

The seer cackled and retorted, "Well, let's just say the author who wrote this chapter is going to be hexed in the future!"

The little tyke was gobsmacked. "Wait, what author? I asked about my future, not some random scribbler's misfortune!"

Chapter 28: Acquired New Skills

As Zhang Wei opened his eyes, he surveyed his surroundings. The apartment was as he remembered it, but something was different.

For a moment, he couldn't quite grasp what had happened.

Then, it hit him. He was still in his physical form, alive and breathing.

Not a single scratch or wound marred his body, both inside and out.

His cultivation was still at peak of Qi gathering realm, he realized in disbelief.

"I... Am... Alive?" he muttered, his voice trembling with uncertainty.

He couldn't quite wrap his head around this miraculous turn of events.

Suddenly, the system's voice interrupted his thoughts. It sounded irritated as it spoke, [Yes, host, you are alive. And please, for future reference, refrain from engaging in such suicidal acts!]

Zhang Wei heard the system's warning and let out a wry smile.

After coming so close to death, he knew that he needed to reevaluate his life choices.

The system was relieved to see Zhang Wei actually considering its word.

It was about time he started taking his own life seriously.

In that moment, Zhang Wei noticed that his status had improved. It was as though the brush with death had unlocked something within him.

Note: The excess accumulated Yang Essense in the user body can be exchanged for villain points!

Available Villain points : 1000

Available Excess Yang Energy : 100000

100 Yang Energy units = 1 Villain point!

As Zhang's eyes lit up with his newfound skill, he felt a rush of excitement. He had surpassed mortal boundaries and had reached the to new level.

In this lower world, there was no higher level to comprehend beyond master level techniques, and right now he already had techniques that surpassed that level.

He can't distinguish celestial level techniques from spiritual level techniques, as system gave no explanation to techniques beyond master level.

However he was intrigued by the possibility of celestial techniques surpassing spiritual ones.

The descriptions of his new skills left him elated, and he forgot that he had died just a minute ago

Now, he felt invincible. He could even seduce the celestial princess and convert her yin energy to yang, earning him villain points in exchange.

But he was warned by the system not to get too excited, as there would be consequences.

The surplus of Yang energy in his body would heighten his libido, which could only be remedied through dual cultivation with women. Even if he tried to rid himself of the excess energy by converting it into villain points, the outcome would be the same. The system was incapable of fully neutralizing the effects of the excess energy within his body, leaving potential remnants behind even if it was isolated in a separate space.

Zhang Wei nodded to system explanation, realizing that he would need some women to calm his little brother down.

As he looked down, his little brother stood tall and proud like a fierce dragon.

After attaining the power of a cultivator, Zhang Wei discovered he could sterilize his essence, ensuring he wouldn't be burdened with an unwanted pregnancy in the future.

Zhang Wei was itching to unleash his newfound thunder powers, but he needed a woman to ravish first.

Unfortunately, the system had not equipped him with the ability to strip a woman naked.

"How did I obtain these other skills? I thought I was only rewarded with the thunder technique," Zhang Wei inquired.

[The host acquired those skills through his own acts of valor, came the system's sarcastic reply.

Amused by the system's snarky tone, Zhang Wei chuckled softly.

He knew that the system had given him those additional skills to save his life.

But there was something strangely satisfying about aggravating the system, or whoever the owner of that sultry female voice may be.

Zhang Wei let out a deep sigh, his thoughts now consumed by a more pressing matter: his little brother. He had to calm it down - there was no way he could go out in this state.

He needed to call Yu Lei back home, even if it meant dealing with her irritation.

As he reached for his phone, he noticed something strange - the little nizi was nowhere to be found. "Where did she disappear to?" he muttered, searching the entire apartment to no avail.

Just as he was about to consult the system again, he heard voices approaching.

He turned towards the door and his eyes widened in surprise.

Feng Xinyue was entering the apartment with a foreign woman, her long red hair flowing freely and dressed in loose clothing.

Rong Meili, the foreign woman, was momentarily frozen in shock.

The last thing she had expected to see today was her naked neighbor, flaunting his little brother in front of her.

"Wow, that's huge!" Rong Meili blurted out without thinking, her eyes widening in shock.

Zhang Wei chuckled, a hint of pride in his voice as he replied, "Thank you, I work hard to maintain my physique."

Rong Meili's face turned beet red as she realized the unintended innuendo in her words. "I didn't mean it like that!" she protested, but Zhang Wei just grinned knowingly.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinyue had rushed over to him and wrapped her arms around his naked torso. Zhang Wei patted her back in gratitude, glad for her help.

Rong Meili, however, was not amused. "You pervert!" she scolded, pointing an accusing finger at Zhang Wei. "Put on some clothes or I'll call the police!"

Zhang Wei frowned, annoyed at the mortal woman's audacity.

He may not be able to bend the laws of the land, but he certainly wasn't afraid to silence someone who posed a threat to him.

Suddenly, a new plan formed in Zhang Wei's mind, and he sprang into action. He looked at Rong Meili and said, "What nonsense are you saying, lady? I am already married."

His words made Rong Meili even more astounded.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

He married a minor?

This man had the audacity to speak to her like this?

Zhang Wei clarified, "No, not her. My wife is outside working. Do you have a problem with that?"

Rong Meili's eyes widened in surprise. "Then she?" she asked, still unable to understand the relationship between Zhang Wei and Feng Xinyue.

Zhang Wei sighed and explained, "She's my younger sister. I just got out of the shower and fainted. She may have gone out to get you for help."

He considered telling her that Feng Xinyue was his daughter, but he knew that Rong Meili probably wouldn't believe it. If he told her that Feng Xinyue was adopted, her suspicions would only grow.

His plan had worked.

Rong Meili, her eyes still suspicious, had apologized for her misunderstanding.

Zhang Wei felt a surge of satisfaction as he watched her struggle to initiate a handshake before finally realizing he wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Nevermind, c-can you wear some clothes please?" she stuttered, embarrassed.

Zhang laughed, pointing at the door. "This is my home, Miss Rong. I have the right to walk around naked. It shouldn't be your concern."

Even as he spoke, he began to dress himself, basking in the victory of having fooled his neighbor.

But Rong Meili wasn't stupid.

She saw through his mockery and quietly made her exit, closing the door behind her as she retreated back to her own apartment.

'I don't want to involve myself in that mess anymore,' she thought, frustrated.

Her life was complicated enough without discovering that an incestuous couple lived next door.

She was uncertain about the relationship between Feng Xinyue and Zhang Wei - it didn't seem pure to her - but she had bigger issues to deal with.

She couldn't act solely on suspicions, nor was she a crusader for social justice.

She had her own life and troubles to handle.

Chapter 29: A trapped bird...

Zhang Wei hastily threw on his clothes, careful not to wrinkle them as he prepared to step out for a bit.

He picked up the remote and flicked through the channels, hoping to find something that would amuse the little nizi he was leaving behind.

With a sigh of relief as she settled on a cartoon, he headed towards the door, a noticeable bulge in his pants that he tried to discreetly adjust.

His little brother's insatiable hunger for feline flesh gnawed at him, and Zhang Wei knew exactly where to go to appease it.

He made his way down the hallway, his footsteps echoing in the silence, until he stood in front of the door of his front door neighbor.

With a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked firmly on the door, the sound reverberating through the hallway.

He waited impatiently, his heart pounding in his chest, until the door creaked open to reveal Rong Meili's annoyed face.

She peered out at him, her eyes narrowed in confusion, and he could sense her irritation.

But Zhang Wei had a mission to complete, and he wasn't about to let her stand in his way.

Zhang Wei plastered on his most charming grin and greeted Rong Meili with all the politeness he could muster. He desperately hoped that his charm would win her over.

However, Rong Meili was no fool. She spoke bluntly, her voice laced with suspicion, "What do you want?"

Ignoring her boundaries, Zhang Wei barged in, his eyes scanning her apartment. He spotted a camera mounted on a stand, and his curiosity piqued.

"Are you an actor?" he asked, his eyes flickering with interest.

Rong Meili was taken aback by his brazen behavior. She stuttered, "Y-yes, but-"

Before she could finish, she found her voice and snapped, "Get out right now! You can't just barge into my place like this!"

Zhang Wei, however, was not deterred by her hostility. He continued to snoop around her apartment, his eyes darting from one corner to another.

Rong Meili glared at him, her fists clenching in anger. She couldn't believe that someone could be so brazen as to invade her privacy like this.

"What are you looking for?" she demanded, her voice dripping with anger.

Zhang Wei shrugged nonchalantly. "Just checking out the neighborhood," he said with a sly grin.

Rong Meili gritted her teeth, feeling a wave of frustration wash over her. She had to get rid of this man, and fast.

"Look, I don't know who you are, and I don't care," she said, trying to keep her voice calm. "But you need to leave now. I have work to do."

Zhang Wei ignored her and continued to poke around her apartment. He opened drawers, rifled through her closet, and even peeked into her bathroom.

Finally, Rong Meili had had enough. She grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the door.

"I said get out!" she yelled, her face red with anger.

Zhang Wei chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Alright, alright," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "No need to get so worked up."

With a sly smirk on his face, Zhang Wei sauntered towards the door, his hand reaching for the handle. As he gripped it, his eyes flickered with a mischievous glint, and instead of leaving, he pulled the door shut and locked it from the inside.

The satisfying click of the lock echoed through the room, sending shivers down Rong Meili's spine as she watched him with suspicion.

Being a woman in the industry, Rong Meili knew better than to trust men like Zhang Wei. She'd seen firsthand the way they could manipulate and deceive, and the icy fear that gripped her heart was all too familiar. And yet, even as she backed away from him, she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes lingered on her, studying her with a predatory gaze.

Zhang Wei's grin widened as he stepped closer, his eyes tracing the curves of her body with an appraising look. Rong Meili felt a jolt of fear run through her as she realized what he was thinking. She knew all too well the kind of men who would do anything to get what they wanted, and she wasn't about to become another victim.

But even as she braced herself for the worst, Zhang Wei's words surprised her. "Look, I need someone to help me out," he said, his voice low and smooth. "Unfortunately, it appears that you are the only female around here..."

Rong Meili's heart raced as she realized what he was implying. She couldn't believe he would stoop so low as to use her in this way. But even as she tried to protest, Zhang Wei's gaze swept over her, taking in her beauty with a cold detachment.

She saw the bulge in his pants and understood his intentions all too well. "Y-You're insane!" she stammered, backing away from him in horror. She fumbled for her phone, desperate to call for help, but before she could even unlock it, Zhang Wei was upon her.

With lightning speed, he snatched the phone from her hand and flung it across the room. Rong Meili gasped in shock as it clattered to the floor, shattering into a million pieces. She was trapped, alone with this man who had no qualms about using her for his own pleasure.

"There's no need for another man, lady," Zhang Wei murmured, his voice honeyed and gentle. "I would be sufficient enough." With a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach, Rong Meili watched as he set up a camera, his eyes gleaming with a twisted excitement.

Rong Meili's heart was pounding in her chest, as if it was trying to escape her body. The hairs on her arms stood on end as she stared at Zhang Wei, her mind unable to process what was happening. The last thing she remembered was Zhang Wei standing ten meters away from her, and now he was right in front of her, inspecting the camera with the intensity of a hawk eyeing its prey.

"Does it have an SD card?" he asked in a low voice, his eyes flicking up to meet hers. Rong Meili couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine, as if she was staring into the eyes of a predator.

Her voice was barely above a whisper as she responded, "W-What will you do with it?" Her hands were trembling with fear as she backed away from him, her eyes darting around the room, searching for something - anything - that could help her escape.

With a sudden burst of determination, Rong Meili's hand shot out towards a nearby vase. She grabbed it with both hands, her fingers gripping it tightly as she lifted it up, ready to strike. Her heart was racing, her breathing shallow as she prepared to defend herself.

But before she could even take aim, Zhang Wei moved with a speed that defied human ability. Purple lightning crackled around him, illuminating the room with an eerie glow as he flicked his wrist and destroyed the vase with ease. Rong Meili's face drained of color as she stumbled backwards, her mind unable to comprehend what she had just witnessed.

"G-Ghost!" she stammered, her voice trembling with fear. She couldn't believe what she was seeing - how could someone control lightning like that? As she stared at Zhang Wei, her mind racing with questions and fear, she realized one thing - she was in deep trouble.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as he watched Rong Meili shrink back in fear. He knew he had the upper hand, and it gave him a rush of adrenaline that he couldn't resist.

With a flick of his wrist, he summoned another bolt of purple lightning, causing Rong Meili to jump back in surprise. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he relished in it.

But as he stood there, his body radiating power and confidence, a part of him felt like a child again. He couldn't help but feel giddy with excitement at the thought of using his superhuman abilities to their full potential.

It was like a dream come true - the ability to control lightning, to move with the speed of a cheetah, to have strength beyond that of any mortal man. Zhang Wei couldn't believe his luck, and he knew that he would make the most of these powers.

As he watched Rong Meili tremble before him, he knew that he had the power to do anything he wanted. And with that realization, he couldn't help but grin with delight, like a child who had just been given the greatest gift in the world.

The sound of the camera clicking on sent shivers down Rong Meili's spine as she knew that her worst nightmare was about to come true. Without a second thought, she bolted towards the balcony, hoping to escape the impending humiliation that awaited her. However, before she could even take a single step towards the edge, she felt a strong grip on her arm, pulling her back from the brink of disaster.

"No!" she screamed in fear, feeling a shock on her body and mind.

The sudden jolt caused her to stumble, and she turned around to see Zhang Wei standing inches away from her, with fear she stammered out few words. "D-Don't come near me!"

His eyes were fixed on her, and she could feel his hot breath on her face as he held her tightly in his grasp.

Rong Meili's heart was pounding in her chest as she realized that she was completely at his mercy.

She was nothing more than a helpless bird trapped in a predator's claws, and she knew that there was no escaping his clutches.

As she stared into his cold, calculating eyes, Rong Meili felt a sense of dread wash over her. She knew that she was about to become a victim, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.

As she stood there, her heart pounding in her chest, she couldn't help but wonder if this was truly the last thing she had to endure.

She had journeyed all the way from her humble hometown, with dreams of a better life in the big city, only to be met with this nightmare.

Zhang Wei, the man standing before her, seemed to revel in her fear and desperation.

He didn't care about her at all - if anything, the thought of inflicting absolute evil upon her made him even more excited.

His arousal was so intense that his already erect member strained against his pants, threatening to burst free at any moment.

A/N: Zhang Wei would learn an important lesson from her: blackmailing people is not as easy as it seems. This serves to establish that Zhang Wei is not a god-level manipulator from the start, and is capable of making mistakes.

Chapter 30: *Beautiful Celebrity Neighbour*

The key to writing a villain character is that you must feel it... The scream, the terror ridden faces, and cries... All must be felt and enjoyed.

Extreme content ahead, readers advised to be cautious, curse all you want this author for, because he is going to enjoy all of it, laughing at your misery like a true villain...

In the tranquil haven of Southern Heights, where the wealthy elites sought refuge from the chaos of the city, a disturbance erupted from within one of the opulent apartments. Rong Meili cowered in terror as Zhang Wei's vice-like grip kept her captive, unable to escape his wrath.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she stuttered, "W-Why are you doing this?"

Zhang Wei's sinister grin sent shivers down her spine as he seized her chin, "Why? Because you're too weak, of course!"

The words reverberated through Rong Meili's mind like a never-ending echo, a brutal reminder of her perceived inadequacy.

"I'm weak?" she whispered to herself.

Was that why she had succumbed to the whims of her media company, bending to their every command?

Was that why the director felt entitled to abuse his power over her?

The brutal truth of power hit Rong Meili like a ton of bricks, leaving her stunned and helpless.

She didn't even realize when Zhang Wei's face drew closer to hers, and it was only when she felt something cold on her lips that she snapped out of her daze.

"G-get away!" she cried out, trying to push him off, but her futile attempts only made him push her further back until she was pressed against a soft cushion.

Zhang Wei and Rong Meili crashed onto the large sofa, the impact knocking the breath out of both of them. Zhang Wei quickly regained his composure, using his brute strength to pin Rong Meili's body to the sofa.

Rong Meili struggled to break free, but his grip was too strong. She felt completely helpless and vulnerable, trapped beneath him as he continued to ravage her body with a fierce hunger.

Zhang Wei continued to ravish her lips, ignoring the beating of her fists on his back and the desperate struggles of her legs. Rong Meili's face showed nothing but despair and defeat as she realized the extent of her powerlessness in this situation.

Rong Meili's mind raced in panic as she realized that she was trapped, with no way out of this situation. She tried to push Zhang Wei away with all her might, but he was too strong for her. His lips and hands roamed over her body, leaving her feeling violated and helpless.

As Zhang Wei continued to ravish her lips and neck, Rong Meili's struggles intensified. She kicked and punched him, but he only laughed and tightened his grip on her. The thought of being overpowered and used against her will made her heart race with fear and disgust.

But despite her resistance, Zhang Wei showed no signs of stopping. He seemed to be enjoying her struggles, taking pleasure in her helplessness.

He wasn't sure if it was due to the situation or Ron Meili herself, but he was experiencing a unique and delightful sensation from her skin.

Every inch of her body, from her luscious lips to her slender figure, provided an unparalleled sensation that he had never experienced before.

Suddenly, he released her from his grip and she attempted to scream out, "HelUuuu!"

Little did she knew, that was precisely what he wanted.

Seizing the moment, he passionately kissed her, exploring the depths of her mouth with his tongue.

Rong Meili felt a wave of disgust wash over her, causing her to cry out in terror.

In her desperation, she attempted to bite his tongue, prompting Zhang Wei to open his eyes and give her a menacing glare. "If you do that again, I will kill you," he threatened, his hand crackling with lightning.

The woman was easily frightened, and she dared not bite him again as he continued to explore the inside of her mouth.

When he finally released her, she gasped for air and broke down into sobs.

Rong Meili had been strong for too long, and now she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Zhang Wei ignored her cries as he sucked on her tongue, slowly removing her oversized white t-shirt with his other hand.

The shirt slid down until it rested on her waist, exposing her breasts. She wasn't wearing a bra, making it easier for him to access them.

Rong Meili continued to cry out in terror, her screams echoing through the room.

Rong Meili's cries filled the room as Zhang Wei continued to explore her body. Tears streamed down her face as she struggled to comprehend the situation she was in. "Please... stop," she begged silently in her mind, but her words never left her lips.

As Zhang Wei sucked on her breasts, she felt violated and disgusted.

She couldn't believe that this was happening to her, and she wondered what she could have done to deserve such treatment.

Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of the situation, but all she could feel was the overwhelming sense of fear and despair.

She closed her eyes, hoping that it would all be over soon.

But as Zhang Wei continued to ravage her body, Rong Meili's cries grew louder and more desperate. She felt helpless and alone, trapped in a nightmare that she couldn't escape from.

Her body shook with sobs as the tears continued to fall, and she wondered if this was how her life would end. In that moment, all she could do was cry and hope that someone would hear her and come to her rescue.

Zhang Wei's mouth hungrily suckled on Rong Meili's soft cherry nipples, causing her to cry out in pain and despair.

Her body trembled as she begged him to stop, her sobs echoing through the room.

As he continued to ravage her body, his hand moved down to her shorts, pulling them down with a swift motion.

Rong Meili's panty needed to be torn away using his qi, leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed.

"P-please.. .sir... *sob* I beg you... stop," Rong Meili whimpered, the tears running down her face. "I'll do anything you want... just please... please let me go."

But Zhang Wei didn't listen to her pleas. He continued to explore her body with an insatiable hunger, causing her to cry out in pain and terror.

"Please... I don't want this," she begged, her voice barely above a whisper. "People love me... Please don't do this to me."

Her words fell on deaf ears as Zhang Wei tore away her panties, leaving her completely exposed and vulnerable.

Rong Meili felt a sense of despair wash over her as she realized that she was completely at his mercy.

"Please, sir, have mercy on me," she pleaded, her voice shaking with fear. "I promise I won't tell anyone about this... Just please, let me go."

But Zhang Wei remained silent as he continued to ravage her body, causing her to cry out in pain and despair.

Rong Meili felt like she was trapped in a nightmare that she couldn't escape from, and she wondered if she would ever be free from this ordeal.

The moment Zhang Wei's bare skin touched hers, Rong Meili let out a bloodcurdling scream.

She felt him pressing her against his naked body, but there was no time to appreciate his toned muscles as she saw something huge entering her most intimate area.

Zhang Wei positioned his throbbing member at her tiny vaginal hole, and under Rong Meili's horrified gaze, he slammed his waist.

"Ahhhhh!"

She let out another scream that echoed through the room.

"Please stop! It hurts so much!"

"I-I-I will give you money, No! I will give you anything, please stop!... I beg you!" Rong Meili begged, her voice shaking with pain and fear.

Zhang Wei was surprised by her excessive reaction, but as he looked down, he saw blood dripping from her vagina.

It wasn't because she was a virgin, but because his entry had been too sudden and forceful.

Despite the agony-filled cries and pleas of Rong Meili, Zhang Wei ignored them and made a mental note to be more careful with Yu Lei, the size of his dragon has soared after assimilating the diamond body.

With that in mind, he started to move his waist, with Rong Meili pinned down, her fists closed as she tried to endure the humiliation and trauma she have to go through.

Maybe it was due to her fear, but Zhang Wei felt her insides very tight, the most narrow hole he had even been in, but that didn't discourage him as he immense amount of satisfaction, feeling her walls vaginal tightly suffocate his dick as he went in.

He kept shaking his hips like a madman.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The whole place was only filled by cries of Rong Meili and the sound of flesh clashing against each other.

Rong Meili's screams intensified as Zhang Wei continued to pound into her.

Tears streamed down her face as she begged him to stop.

"I can't take it anymore! ... It hurts!... I'll do anything you want... just please stop!" she cried out, her voice hoarse from the pain.

But Zhang Wei only seemed to get more aroused by her cries. He gripped her hips tightly and thrust harder, causing Rong Meili to scream even louder.

"Stop!... Please... stop!" she wailed, the pain becoming unbearable.

Her screams only fueled his arousal, and at last, Zhang Wei reached his climax, pouring his load inside of her. Rong Meili gasped as she felt the hot liquid filling her insides.

"C-cummed inside?" she asked, her eyes heavy with terror.

But before she could react, another wave of pain and pleasure assaulted her as Zhang Wei went for another round.

It felt like an eternal torture to Rong Meili, but after two hours of continuous, strenuous activity, it finally ended.

By then, her eyes were half-closed, and she had no strength left to scream or beg.

All she wanted was for it to be over so that she could sleep, a deep slumber that she would never want to wake up from.

Zhang Wei's back was covered in deep scratches, he could have avoided it, but he didn't mind.

It felt better to let it be.

He circulated the flow of qi and all the marks disappeared from his back, Zhang Wei felt being a cultivator have given him too many benefits.

Now he don't have to wreck his brain, to think how to remove scratch or marks from his body.

Nobody would even know, until he want them to.

Once he was finished, he ignored Rong Meili's miserable state and put his clothes on.

He finally felt as if he had taken his revenge, inflicting the same torment he had once suffered on someone else.

It filled his heart with content.

As he dressed himself, he couldn't help but feel stunned at how much his stamina had increased. It wasn't a bad thing for him, of course.

With one last glance at Rong Meili, he moved to leave the room.

Rong Meili saw his departing figure, and stammered out few words, "W-wait..."

She had hoped that Zhang Wei would help her leave the industry, but her hopes were shattered when he took out the SD card and pocketed it.

"Don't tell anyone about this or it'll be all over the internet tomorrow," he warned before leaving, ignoring the disbelief and shock on her face.

She had never expected him to be so heartless, but maybe it was the world that was heartless to her.

After some time, she dragged her tired body to clean up and get ready for her next job.

It was only 1 pm, and the agreed-upon time was 2 pm.

She couldn't afford to be late.

Her whole body screamed in pain, but she somehow managed to walk.

But as she tried to leave, she realized that her phone had been crushed by Zhang Wei.

She didn't remember the address, and despair consumed her.

She could have contacted the director with her laptop, but something inside her snapped.

She decided to sit down and do nothing at all.

Why bother trying anymore?

...

Zhang Wei halted in the hallway, his mind a whirlwind of possibilities.

What should he do today?

His body buzzed with an unusual vigor, thanks to the vanishing of the excess yang energy.

Oddly enough, the system remained quiet as a mouse, which gave Zhang Wei pause.

He shrugged it off, though.

He held the SD card tightly, knowing Rong Meili wouldn't dare to pull any stunts with it in his possession.

So, what to do now?

Should he gather more intel on the Song family?

Or perhaps go give that snobbish president of his wife's company a taste of her own medicine?

He could always head back to the apartment and play with Feng Xinyue...

Ultimately, Zhang Wei rejected all of his prior options and settled on something far more exciting.

He chose to rendezvous with an old friend at a trendy bar nestled in the bustling Waterfront district.

This area was a hub for commerce, featuring a variety of charming cafes, delectable restaurants, and lively bars.

But it was also notorious for its seedy underbelly, being a prime location for nefarious gangs to conduct their business, as it was located near the ports.

Chapter 31: Waterfront District

Zhang Wei's next destination was the notorious Dive bar, nestled deep within the heart of the Waterfront district.

The district was teeming with the hustle and bustle of the marine industry, making it the perfect location for smuggling and other illicit activities.

It was no secret that the area was controlled by two powerful gangs - the Red Scorpions and the White Tigers.

The Red Scorpions held a tight grip on the majority of the district, controlling a staggering seventy percent of the area.

The White Tigers, on the other hand, only had a measly thirty percent of the territory under their control.

Despite this, they were still a force to be reckoned with, and their hold on the Dive bar was proof of their influence.

The Dive bar was not just any ordinary watering hole - it was the White Tigers' headquarters, a place where they conducted their business and held court.

It was a dangerous place for outsiders to venture into, especially those who were not affiliated with the gang.

While, the Turf of 'Red Scorpion' Gang extended to mainly northern part of waterfront district, with main places namely, port authority, board walk, sea food market, coastline casino and black pearl.

-Port Authority was the main hub for all maritime activities in the Waterfront district, including cargo and passenger ships. It's a bustling area with many people and vehicles moving in and out constantly.

-Board Walk is a popular tourist spot where people come to stroll along the wooden boardwalk, watch the boats sail by, and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. There are many food stalls and souvenir shops along the way.

-Seafood Market is the largest market in the district where fresh seafood is sold at wholesale prices. It's a busy and noisy place with vendors shouting their wares and customers haggling over prices.

-Coastline Casino is a luxurious casino and hotel that attracts wealthy tourists and locals alike. It's a place where people come to gamble, drink, and socialize in style.

[Coastline Casino] is also the head quarters of Red Scorpion gang.

-Black Pearl is a prestigious hotel with a prime location by the sea. It's a favorite of celebrities and business executives who value privacy and luxury. The hotel has top-notch amenities, including a spa, a rooftop pool, and a fine-dining restaurant.

The south was the turf of 'White Tigers' gang, ruled by a fierce women nicknamed as 'The Dragon Lady.'

The south turf includes of many places, mainly Marina, fisherman's Wharf, Pier 42, and the dive.

-Marina is a picturesque marina where private yachts and sailboats dock. It's a serene and peaceful area with stunning views of the sea and the city skyline.

-Fisherman's Wharf is a lively and colorful place where fishermen sell their catch of the day directly to the public. It's a great place to buy fresh seafood, take photos, and chat with the locals.

-Pier 42 is a historic pier that has been converted into an entertainment complex with shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. It's a family-friendly place with lots of activities for kids and adults alike.

-The Dive is a popular dive bar with a laid-back atmosphere and cheap drinks. It's a favorite of the locals who come here to unwind after a long day of work or to watch sports games on TV.

[The Dive] was used as headquarters by White Tigers gang.

Other then them, there were many minor gangs but they were all indirectly working as underlings of these two main underworld gangs.

Red Scorpions were involved in all kinds of crimes, many estimated that to be able to get away with such crime rate, they must have a heavy backer behind their back, till their the identity of their backer is unknown.

As for White tiger, there is no backer of this gang, and it mostly makes money by doing non-extreme criminal activities, their leader has a strict policy against any child trafficking or drug smuggling.

Many people in the white tiger gang were disconnect with this decision of the Dragon lady, as they were controlling the marine, which easy gives them access to water transportation, that can be used to earn large sum of money doing illegal works, like drug smuggling.

Many members of the white tiger gang even went behind, and started their own small gangs in secret, to make secret profit.

The old friend of Zhang Wei was also one of those members of the gang, who was secretly carrying out the illegal tasks in the gang.

It took Zhang Wei one hour to arrive from South District to Waterfront District by car, he parked his BMW outside the Dive bar, and glanced around.

Zhang Wei stepped out of his sleek BMW and looked around the Waterfront District. It had been a while since he had visited this part of the city, but the familiar sights and sounds of the bustling waterfront brought back memories of his past.

He walked towards the Dive bar, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger.

Zhang Wei was always cautious, especially in this part of town where the gangs ruled the streets.

He had to be careful, as he was not a member of either the Red Scorpion or the White Tiger gang, but that was the thing of past, now he can walk without any fear.

As he approached the bar, he noticed a group of men loitering outside. They eyed him suspiciously, and and as he passed by them, one of the men grabbed his arm.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" the man sneered.

Zhang Wei remained calm, despite feeling a knot form in his stomach. He had dealt with these types of situations before. He looked the man in the eye and replied, "Just heading inside for a drink. Is that a problem?"

The man glared at him, but eventually let him go.

Zhang Wei sighed and walked past them and into the Dive bar.

[Why do you look disappointed, host?]

Zhang Wei chuckled wickedly to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he recounted his failed attempt at violence. 'I was itching to test out my new powers,' he explained, 'so I thought I'd take on that Rhino and his pathetic posse. But they just let me pass without so much as a whimper.'

He shook his head in disgust, thinking that the gangsters of this city had grown soft and weak.

The dingy place was shrouded in a thick haze of smoke and the sickly-sweet scent of alcohol, making it difficult to see more than a few feet in front of him. His eyes roamed over the shadowy figures slumped at the bar, their faces obscured by the flickering neon lights.

In the far corner of the room, he spotted his old friend nursing a beer, looking as bored and jaded as ever.

But his attention was drawn to the black staircase that wound its way up to a single room on the top floor - the infamous living quarters of The Dragon Lady. Two hulking underlings stood guard outside the door, their muscles bulging beneath their tight shirts.

Zhang Wei could feel the thrill of excitement coursing through his veins as he contemplated the perilous climb up those stairs, wondering what kind of fun awaited him at the top.

He had been to the Dive bar many times before, but this was the first time Zhang Wei had ever considered venturing into the territory of the Dragon Lady.

It was a risky move, and one that could have dire consequences if he was caught by the wrong people, but that was the thing of the past, when he was not a cultivator.

Zhang Wei had a history with the Red Scorpion gang, having been a minor member during his school years.

His role in the gang was to check the drugs that were imported into the city, ensuring that they were properly distributed.

It was during this time that he had befriended Tang Bo, a member of the rival White Tiger gang.

Tang Bo was dissatisfied with the strict rules of the White Tigers and wanted to make some extra cash by secretly smuggling drugs.

Zhang Wei saw an opportunity to make a profit and struck a deal with him.

He would sneak Tang Bo the drugs, and in return, Tang Bo would export them to other cities using the yachts at the marina.

The drugs are one of the rare commodities, that can always give profit, as long as you have required transportation and can take advantage of arbitrage, different prices in different cities.

The scheme worked for a few years, and Zhang Wei made enough money to pay for his college tuition and living expenses. But eventually, he graduated and moved on from the gang life, focusing on his personal life with his wife, Yu Lei.

During his time in the underworld, Zhang Wei had deliberately maintained a low profile in the Red Scorpion gang, so that he couldn't be easily identified by either of the gang's members.

Working in the underworld had honed Zhang Wei's fighting skills to a superior level.

Today, the atmosphere was unusually chaotic, which caught Zhang Wei off guard.

It was just the 14th of March, with no special occasion, so he couldn't fathom the reason behind the turmoil.

Normally a clean and quiet place, today it was rowdy and boisterous, as if celebrating something.

Chapter 32: Guardians and Nine Heavenly Treasures!

Zhang Wei had amassed a whopping fifty villain points after getting down and dirty with Rong Meili, but he didn't give a damn about points anymore.

He was more interested in milking that little princess for all she's worth!

Just a few drops of her milk could give him a thousand villain points and a whole lot of yin essence.

Feng Xinyue had no clue about Zhang Wei's diabolical plans for her.

If she did, she'd be running for the hills faster than a bat out of hell.

Zhang Wei scanned the room for any cultivators, relieved to find none.

The system had warned him about hidden cultivators in this world, and he didn't want to end up on their shit list.

Suddenly, the door to the top floor room creaked open and a dude stumbled out.

Zhang Wei furrowed his brow in annoyance, but quickly shrugged it off.

It was hardly surprising that someone as old as the dragon lady hadn't gotten any action in a while. [A/N: Don't make assumptions!]

Status:-

Name: Ye Feng [ Leader of Red Mercenary Group ]

Age: 23

Body Rank: Steel Body

Cultivation Level: None

Bloodline: None

Spirit beast: None

Cultivation talent: Divine Talent

Spiritual root rank: Superior Spiritual root

System Alert!

A new mission has been assigned to you.

Target: Ye Feng

Objective: Retrieve a rare inheritance stone in his possession.

Rewards: Successful completion of the mission will grant the host a 100% chance of obtaining the inheritance with 0% chance of failure.

Proceed with caution and utilize all available resources to complete the mission. Good luck!

Zhang Wei looked puzzled and asked, "What in the world is this behavior system?"

He couldn't believe that a pig-faced individual like Ye Feng could have divine talent.

Wasn't it supposed to be rare?

The system struggled to explain, but finally revealed that Ye Feng was one of the chosen guardians of the lower world.

In the past, every hundred years, a fierce battle is fought among all the guardians in an ancient arena, and the winner is awarded one of the nine heavenly treasures that exist in the universe:

The Celestial Sword

The Golden Bow

The Crown of Immortality

The Armor of Light

The Book of Destiny

The Jade Pendant

The Heavenly Staff

The Jade Flute

The Heavenly Mirror

In the arena, the past winners of the tournament must participate, and surrender their heavenly treasures.

If they make it to the top nine, they can keep their treasures, otherwise, they gotta hand it over like a hot potato.

This means that any guardian who wants to win a heavenly treasure must battle the winners of the past nine tournaments, and at least defeat one of them.

Talk about a tough competition!

This whole system was created by the first supreme ruler of the heavenly planes, who was also the creator of those heavenly treasures.

Apparently, it was created for entertainment purposes, and to determine the future representatives of the lower worlds.

The guardians themselves are a product of the will of the lower worlds, and possess exceptional cultivation talents.

It's still a mystery how the supreme ruler was able to influence the will of the world itself and make such a deal.

But one thing's for sure, that supreme ruler was not only the creator of this tournament system, but also the nine heavenly treasures themselves.

Must have been one powerful dude or lady, it's still unclear!

However, the tournaments came to a halt after the disappearance of the supreme ruler.

The celestials altered the formation of the ancient arena, rendering it dysfunctional.

They killed all the existing guardians and snatched their heavenly treasures from them.

After so many years, many treasures disappeared in the vast history, forever unseen.

But even those who found them were not that lucky.

The heavenly treasures were crafted in such a manner that only a being of the lower world could link their soul to the spirit of the treasure.

If any celestial tried to use the heavenly treasures, they would have to pay the price for each use.

Currently, there is only one known heavenly treasure in possession of the Sky God, which is the heavenly staff.

As for the rest of the eight treasures, they were lost in history.

After the disappearance of the first supreme ruler of the heavenly planes, numerous emperors came and went, but none had the willingness to restore the ancient arena.

Initially some celestials feared the wrath of the supreme ruler, if he might return, while others simply didn't care.

But even with the arena in ruins, the will of the world kept producing talented guardians.

Now, why wouldn't the celestials just recruit these excessively talented guardians into their sects?

Well, the answer is simple: they can't.

The guardians have a major limitation – after ascending to become a celestial, they're not allowed to leave the lower world for an extended period of time.

It's like being grounded by your mom, but on a cosmic level.

This is also the reason why even with the heavenly treasures in their possession, the guardians were easily butchered by the celestials in the past.

After reaching a certain realm, cultivating in this lower plane becomes too darn hard. So, it's like having a fancy sword but no arms to wield it.

Thus now these guardians, only served as entertainment purpose of the celestials above, while some celestials took capable guardians as their puppet to have a link to lower world.

The celestials monitor the guardians for any capable puppet.

So now guardians are nothing more than merely puppets of celestials.

Zhang Wei listened in horror as the system explained the history of the guardians and their current state as mere puppets for the celestials above.

He couldn't bear the thought of being controlled by others and losing his freedom.

Zhang Wei calmly stated, his voice excessively politely, contrasting his words. 'If I'm going to be a guardian, I'd rather take a swan dive off the nearest cliff than be someone's puppet. And I'll make sure to take you with me, dear system!'

The system remained silent, sensing the fear and anxiety in Zhang Wei's voice.

For the first time, Zhang Wei felt anxious about his future as a guardian.

The System finally chimed in, giving Zhang Wei some much-needed reassurance.

[Oh, the host doesn't need to worry! You're not involved with guardians or their pesky restrictions. You can ignore them or dispose of them as you wish!]

Zhang Wei let out a sigh of relief, though he still didn't fully trust the system.

But what other choice did he have?

Then he remembered the million-dollar question: what about Feng Xinyue? 'Will her existence be exposed to the celestials if any of their guardians catch sight of us together? They might as well descend from the heavens to personally butcher me.'

Zhang Wei was contemplating throwing Feng Xinyue out of his house and hiding her in a cave somewhere.

He might appear carefree, but in his heart he was well aware of the consequences of eying the celestial princess.

But the system had an answer: [The spell around Feng Xinyue will protect her from those sharp celestials' eyes. And as for you, the system will make sure your existence is kept secret. You can go around killing guardians without any problem, the system will hide you! Guardians aren't immortal, they often die, so it shouldn't arouse much suspicion.]

The system lady spoke with a proud tone, as if to say, "I got you!"

But then she added a caveat: [But be careful, host. The spell won't work on Sky God. If he's monitoring any guardian, Feng Xinyue's existence will be exposed!]

Zhang Wei's expression changed as he thought of something, 'I wonder if I can take on Sky God?'

He couldn't resist confirming his strategy with the system.

[That won't work.] the system replied flatly.

As Zhang Wei listened to the system's explanation, he wasn't exactly surprised.

His strategy was pretty straightforward: hide and play until he reaches the peak of divine immortal level, which is the highest realm possible in this lower world.

Then, he'd purposely reveal his existence to Sky God and tempt him to come down to this world.

The will of this world would limit Sky God's powers, just like in the case of Feng Xinyue.

Zhang Wei could then take advantage of this opportunity and slay the Sky God.

Unfortunately, it appeared that the Sky God was too powerful to be limited by the will of a small world.

Inviting him down was like inviting death, and he might as well destroy the entire lower plane.

Zhang Wei was still contemplating whether he should keep Feng Xinyue close to him or not.

It was highly unlikely that Sky God would personally monitor some long-abandoned guardians by himself.

The task might be delegated to his underlings, or it might just be some random celestials messing around.

In the end, Zhang Wei decided to take the risk.

However, he would still try his best to not appear in front of any guardian along with Feng Xinyue.

Still, there was something that bothered him. 'Does Sky God not care about his daughter?' he wondered.

He didn't want to look like a scumbag, but if he had a daughter as beautiful as Feng Xinyue, he might as well keep her to himself.

The system replied, [Host is underestimating the Sky God. He is a man obsessed with cultivation, not caring about any material thing! The only reason he might even have children would be to carry forward his legacy. This type of behavior isn't uncommon among those with immortal life.]

Zhang Wei nodded, pretending to understand everything.

'Well, at least I don't have to worry about escaping from that little nizi's obsessed father,' he thought to himself.

Since the father didn't seem to give a damn about his daughter, Zhang Wei decided to teach her a new word.

'Why not have her address me as Daddy?' he chuckled to himself.

The Sky God himself would cough up blood and die if he heard such bold words coming from Zhang Wei.

But hey, he couldn't resist the chance to mess with the little girl's head, while she is still helpless.

Is the novel going the route where Zhang Wei will hunt other protagonists? Not exactly... As you can see, I am trying to do something different.

On another note, Zhang Wei has no relations with being a guardian, he have book of destiny due to other reasons.

The Dragon Lady is still virgin o
