Chapter 132 - 85: You Are My Pet, Be Good, Understand?

After this, how could he ever show his face among the other Governors again?

Besides, wasn’t she worried he might get too into character and actually fall for the target?

After some thought, Ning Xiu braced himself and continued his reply.

"Wanwan, nothing has started yet. It’s not too late for you to back out. Are you sure you don’t want to change your mind?"

"Cut the crap. Since you’ve already moved in, don’t forget your mission."

He could feel her unshakeable determination even through the text. Ning Xiu sighed, typed a single word, and sent it before turning off his Light Brain.

"Okay."

The conversation between the two was quickly relayed to Jiang Yunnuan.

When it was confirmed that Ning Xiu was acting on Jiang Wanwan’s orders to seduce her, she still found it absurd, even though she had long suspected it.

Among the original owner’s six Contractors, aside from the yet-to-be-subdued Feng Qianyan, Ning Xiu was the most outstanding in terms of background, status, and innate talent.

And yet, to deal with her, Jiang Wanwan was willing to drag even him into this mess. She really would stop at nothing.

’She’s so willing to go to such extremes. No wonder the original owner, under her manipulation, seemed to lose her mind, falling for Ling Ze and ending up in a self-destructive conflict with Jun Yao and the others,’ she thought.

But unfortunately for them, she was not the original owner!

After completing her check-in mission, Jiang Yunnuan prepared lunch for Yan Chen, then went upstairs to enter closed-door Cultivation.

Yan Chen used Transform into Thousands, leaving a clone in the room to watch her, which didn’t stop his main body from doing anything he wanted.

The night passed. Her Mystic Technique broke through to the next level, yet there was still no move from Ning Xiu.

She opened her eyes to find Yan Chen in her room.

She asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see my pet."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

She felt a strange coolness on her skin and quickly looked down, only to realize her attire was highly inappropriate. Her spaghetti-strap nightgown was very revealing—not only was the neckline low, but the hem had unknowingly ridden up to her thighs during her Cultivation.

’This guy... please don’t let him think I’m trying to seduce him on purpose.’

She braced herself, pulled her hemline down, and said, "Could you step out for a moment? I need to change."

He didn’t leave as asked. Instead, he turned, sat on the edge of the bed, and faced away from her.

Staring at his back, Jiang Yunnuan was a bit stunned. The next moment, an arm reached out and pulled her into a cool, crisp embrace, and the clean scent of grass and trees washed over her.

He lowered his head slightly, drawing close to her neck to take a sniff.

Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes froze. A chill seemed to sweep over her, and she couldn’t stop a layer of goosebumps from breaking out across her skin.

"What are you doing?"

"Your constitution is rather special, and the power you cultivate is strange. It holds an inexplicable attraction for me. Is it because of that system?"

Jiang Yunnuan: "???"

Hearing this, she was utterly baffled and asked subconsciously, "Wh-Where is it special?"

’I don’t know either!’

Aside from the Superpower Crystal Core, all she cultivated was her Mystic Technique.

’Last night, she was cultivating her Mystic Technique. Could that be what he’s talking about?’

’Then what’s this about a special constitution?’

"You’re very suitable to be a Furnace."

’To call it a Furnace isn’t quite right, either,’ he mused. ’This body seems to hold a wellspring of Spiritual Power that can be catalyzed through *that* method, allowing both parties to benefit.’

’Moreover, it can even dissolve impurities within the body and resolve the Heart Demons that arise during Cultivation.’

’That Tiger Beastman must have gained considerable benefits from this body.’

Hearing his deep, cold voice, Jiang Yunnuan’s scalp tingled, and her heart clenched with tension.

’Aside from her Superpower and Mystic Technique, there’s nothing special about this body. Why would he think it’s suitable to be a Furnace?’

’Damn it, he isn’t thinking of using me as a Furnace for replenishment, draining away my meager Cultivation, is he?’

"Uh, please stop that wicked thought! Yin Yang Replenishment is a despicable and heretical path. With your unparalleled talent and Cultivation, you’re destined to achieve the Great Dao and rule the world! Don’t debase yourself and invite a heavenly tribulation!"

Thoroughly frightened, Jiang Yunnuan swallowed nervously and hastily tried to dissuade him.

Seeing her expression, Yan Chen knew she had misunderstood, but he didn’t explain. He simply watched her fretful state.

When he remained silent, she grew more and more panicked.

Just then, the Energy within the villa suddenly erupted. A powerful aura began to sweep through the area, and Jiang Yunnuan immediately sensed it.

She seized the opportunity to change the subject, hoping to diffuse the current awkwardness and tension.

"Who’s having a breakthrough?"

"The Snake Beastman. He’s not just breaking through, he’s evolving. Your Innate Spirit Water can perfectly repair the genetic defects in a Beastman and induce evolution."

’So the well water is called Innate Spirit Water, huh?’

’That name definitely sounds better than ’well water’.’

Jiang Yunnuan’s gaze fell upon his face. His expression was normal, showing no hint of danger. He didn’t look like someone who wanted to drain her for his own gain. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke tentatively.

"Then, can you let go? I want to change and go see him."

"No rush. The evolution will take at least a few hours."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’So? Are we just going to keep hugging like this?’

’Is this appropriate?’

’Besides, doesn’t this guy know I’m supposed to be targeting him? Why isn’t he the least bit wary or resistant?’

As she was lost in thought, a large hand suddenly landed on her shoulder. Cool fingertips moved, flicking open the strap of her nightgown.

Her heart leaped. She quickly reached to pull the strap back up, but her wrist was pinned. His cool, deep voice slowly entered her ear.

"Don’t move."

"You... I’ve been so good to you, serving you three meals a day, and you really want to drain me for your Cultivation? How about we don’t do that?"

’This body has only been in Cultivation for a month. With this little power, he could crush her with a single finger. If he used force, she definitely couldn’t resist.’

Jiang Yunnuan was both panicked and angry, but she didn’t dare lash out. She could only suppress her temper and plead nicely.

"I’m not going to drain you!"

"Then what are you doing?"

’He’s about to strip her, and he says he’s not going to drain her? Hah, who would believe that?’

Yan Chen pressed his lips together, not answering her. His gaze fell upon her firm, full breasts.

Her skin was like cream, fair with a hint of pink. It moved slightly with her breathing, possessing an indescribable beauty. He felt a sudden thirst and couldn’t resist the urge to reach out and touch.

Ever since he could remember, he had always done as he pleased.

And so, the moment the thought appeared, he reached out without hesitation and took hold.

An exquisitely soft sensation instantly filled his palm—smooth, tender, and incredibly elastic. The feel was so good it was maddening, and he found he couldn’t let go.

Jiang Yunnuan was still waiting for his answer.

Unexpectedly, instead of an answer, she got this. A jolt like an electric shock shot through her body, followed by an intense, tingling sensation.

Her pupils trembled. She bit her lip to stifle the sound that threatened to escape, fighting back the tingling that spread through her entire body. She reached out, grabbed his hand, and spoke with a tremor in her voice.

"You said... you weren’t going to drain me..."

"Mm, I won’t drain you."

With his wrist now caught, he lifted his gaze to look at her and gave his assurance once more.

But Jiang Yunnuan still felt uneasy.

"Really? Then let go."

"I said I won’t drain you, so I won’t. You’re my pet. You need to be a good girl, understand?"
