Chapter 7: Helping Liu Qinghuan Cultivate

Hearing her mother's words, Liu Qinghuan looked at Ye Zi'an's departing figure and felt, for the first time, a genuine inclination to obey her mother.

She lifted her skirt, the heels of her shoes clicking on the ground as she chased after Ye Zi'an's silhouette, resembling a white swan.

The petite figure stopped beside Ye Zi'an's luxury car, appearing delicate and pitiful.

It was hard to imagine that she would one day become a ruthless female villain.

Noticing that the Liu family members were still inside, Liu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and, in a lowered voice, spoke to Ye Zi'an, "Brother Zi'an, my dad and the others intend to harm you, so don't keep me by your side."

After saying this, Liu Qinghuan felt a tremendous sense of relief. She had overheard her father and older brother's conversation last night and learned about the Liu family's plan.

However, with this plan in place, she knew she would no longer have the chance to meet Brother Zi'an.

Her small head instantly drooped, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing Liu Qinghuan like this, so different from her sister Liu Sisi, Ye Zi'an decided to keep her around since she was a villainess with intentions toward him.

Ye Zi'an opened the car door and said to the still-dazed Liu Qinghuan, "I already know about all this. Get in the car; let's go back to the Ye family. I will take care of you from now on."

Liu Qinghuan looked at Ye Zi'an in disbelief. Her previously downcast expression transformed into joy, and she eagerly nodded, opening the car door to sit inside.

Ye Zi'an took Liu Qinghuan back to the Ye family and called for Ye Yu, who lived nearby.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

"Take Qinghuan shopping for some fitting clothes."

Ye Zi'an didn't want to see the outfit Liu Qinghuan wore, which originally belonged to Liu Sisi, even for a moment.

He instructed Ye Yu to take Liu Qinghuan shopping for new clothes.

"Understood, Master."

Seeing Ye Zi'an's expression, Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to obediently follow Ye Yu.

Liu Qinghuan's second uncle, noticing Ye Yu and Liu Qinghuan leaving, quietly inquired, "Master, how should we deal with Miss Qinghuan?"

Ye Zi'an watched Liu Qinghuan's departing figure and calmly replied, "You don't need to worry about her; just let her stay at the Ye family."

He then turned to his second uncle and asked, "How about the matter I entrusted to you yesterday?"

The second uncle scrutinized Ye Zi'an's expression, feeling a bit doubtful but unable to pinpoint anything wrong. He finally said, "I have hired ten assassins on the dark web; they cost a total of fifty million, and the thirty percent deposit has already been paid. They will arrive in Xia City over the next few days."

"Fifty million, huh?"

Although the price was somewhat steep, as long as it wasted Su Chen's development time in the early apocalypse, it would be worth it.

Thinking this, Ye Zi'an nodded in satisfaction. Just then, his phone rang—it was a call from Li Wei.

"Ye Shao, that Su Chen kid really has some skills. The few thugs I sent were taken care of by him."

However, he quickly added, as if to justify himself, "But I didn't accomplish nothing. I at least ruined his mortgage plan. And Deputy Director Wang has locked him up; I arranged for plenty of brothers to take good care of him inside."

"Hmm?"

Ye Zi'an was somewhat surprised by Li Wei's success.

On the other end, Li Wei started explaining his plans for the day.

He had secretly sabotaged Su Chen's real estate plans. With Li Wei's word, the real estate agents in Xia City dared not help Su Chen find buyers. Any listings he posted online were deemed fraudulent.

How could a good house possibly be sold at a 70% discount with cash required on the same day? Something had to be wrong, right?

With the false information spread by Li Wei, Su Chen's house became rumored to be haunted, with people refusing it even for free.

However, when Li Wei's men attempted to teach Su Chen a lesson, they ended up getting beaten up instead.

But Deputy Director Wang appeared just in time, using the excuse of a brawl to arrest Su Chen, planning to keep him locked up for a few years per Ye Zi'an's instructions.

Unfortunately, the city mayor happened to be out and, upon learning the details, ultimately only detained Su Chen for one day.

[Congratulations, host! You successfully changed the plot and earned 2000 points.]

This information allowed Ye Zi'an to gauge his real strength. According to the book, the reborn Su Chen had physical abilities comparable to his own.

After a brief contemplation, Ye Zi'an said, "When he gets out, plant some evidence on him. I've already spoken with Deputy Director Wang; once we catch him red-handed, we can lock him up anytime."

After saying this, Ye Zi'an hung up the call.

Li Wei, hearing Ye Zi'an's scheme, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, realizing that even Deputy Director Wang had been secured by Ye Shao.

Li Wei was no stranger to such matters; while ordinary people would avoid them, he was well-versed and immediately instructed his men to act.

Ye Zi'an sat calmly in the living room, finishing his glass of red wine.

If everything went smoothly, combined with the record from today's brawl, the sentence would be long enough to keep Su Chen in prison for the rest of his life. At least in Xia City, Su Chen would be unable to establish himself and would have to flee.

With this, the early plot would be significantly altered, and he would also be able to extract a good number of points from Su Chen.

The apocalypse was approaching, and if Su Chen was stuck in prison, it would be interesting to see how he would escape.

Ye Zi'an opened the system shop, and with the 2000 points he had just earned, he browsed for items.

[Congratulations on completing today's check-in! You have received a bottle of Advanced Potential Growth Liquid.]

[Advanced Potential Growth Liquid: Using it will enhance your potential level.]

In the system shop, there were only three items for trade, along with a free refresh. It seemed that the items were random each day.

[Insight Technique: Observe the attributes, weaknesses, and favorability of both enemies and allies.] Original price: 10,000 points; limited-time offer: only 1,000 points.

[Strength Potion: Increases strength by 1 point.] 100 points.

[Ability Awakening Serum: Using it has a chance to awaken abilities.] 500 points.

It seemed there wasn't much to choose from. The Insight Technique was an important skill to have at any time, especially since it allowed for viewing favorability, making it a divine technique for judging enemies and allies.

Ye Zi'an quickly learned the Insight Technique, just as Ye Yu returned with Liu Qinghuan.

As the saying goes, "People rely on their clothing, and Buddhas rely on gold."

After being dressed up, Liu Qinghuan looked even more splendid than before.

After bringing Liu Qinghuan back to the Ye family, Ye Yu curiously glanced at Ye Zi'an, noticing that his entire aura seemed different from the day before.

Feeling Ye Zi'an's gaze, Liu Qinghuan was met with his greedy eyes, causing her to blush and turn away, leaving only Ye Zi'an and Liu Qinghuan in the villa.

Ye Zi'an activated the Insight Technique to assess Liu Qinghuan.

[Liu Qinghuan]

[Strength]5

[Agility]6

[Stamina]5

[Spirit]10

[Potential]SS

[Favorability]95

Even though he was familiar with the plot, Liu Qinghuan's favorability rating still shocked Ye Zi'an.

A favorability of 95 meant that Liu Qinghuan was utterly obedient to him right now.

Even if he asked her to die, she wouldn't hesitate in the least.

"What did your father ask you to come to my house for?"

Liu Qinghuan lowered her head, a hint of red on her cheeks, and replied honestly, "My father told me to find a way to win your favor, to consummate the relationship early and then find a way to get rid of you."

Just as he had suspected; this aligned perfectly with his analysis.

"What are you waiting for?"

Ye Zi'an smiled as he lifted Liu Qinghuan's chin, gazing into her clear, watery eyes, genuinely feeling a sense of pity.

Liu Qinghuan felt no resistance toward Ye Zi'an; her back bore a few faint scars.

Some were old wounds from her childhood, while others were caused by the malicious Liu Sisi, who had always compared Liu Qinghuan to her and found her wanting.

Ye Zi'an gently caressed those scars, speaking softly, "From now on, stay by my side. I will protect you."

...

Ye Zi'an's Chaos Yin-Yang Technique activated automatically, beginning to assist Liu Qinghuan in enhancing her strength for the approaching apocalypse.

A system prompt sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations! All attributes +5. You have also received 20 free attribute points. You may distribute them as you wish.]

Liu Qinghuan's attributes had also increased by 5 points, but unlike Ye Zi'an, she hadn't received extra free attribute points, indicating that this additional reward was exclusive to him.

However, how many times could this cultivation help her?

Besides increasing both parties' attributes, the Chaos Yin-Yang Technique also served to solidify favorability.

Favorability could change based on a person's actions, but after cultivating with Ye Zi'an, no matter what happened, Liu Qinghuan's favorability would not drop below 95.

In the Xia City detention center.

Today, Su Chen had angered Deputy Director Wang and was beaten black and blue, thrown into a detention room by two burly guards.

Su Chen wore an expression of unwillingness, silently cursing, "Damn it, if it weren't for worrying that fighting back would worsen my punishment, you losers wouldn't stand a chance against me. Once I get out, I'll definitely take you down."

Rubbing his bruised shoulder, Su Chen felt a chill behind him and painfully raised his head to look back.

To his shock, he discovered seven or eight burly black men behind him, accompanied by a blond thug who had a sinister look on his face, glaring at Su Chen.

"Damn it."

Even Su Chen, who was not dull, quickly realized that this was definitely the work of that bastard Li Wei from the Li family.

What had he done to provoke him?

Su Chen closed his eyes, hugging his head, preparing to endure the beating from these men.

He silently thought, "Just one more day of endurance."

However, rather than fists falling as he expected, his limbs were suddenly restrained.

The black men, each large and powerful, had a tremendous strength that even someone with special forces training like Su Chen found difficult to escape.

The blond thug, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, exhaled smoke circles into Su Chen's face, slowly speaking, "Since you didn't have the sense to avoid provoking Young Master Li, we're here to give you a lesson."

As he spoke, the burly men behind him wore wicked smiles.

Su Chen's face turned pale as he asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Of course, we're here to broaden your horizons."

A piercing pain shot through his body, and Su Chen shed humiliating tears, wanting to scream.

The blond thug quickly covered Su Chen's mouth, patting his tortured face, saying, "Tonight, you can fight back or talk back, but tomorrow, when we leave, you'll be here to welcome new guests, over and over again."

Hearing the blond thug's words, Su Chen no longer dared to entertain thoughts of resistance; he could only silently endure everything.

This was more unbearable than death.

"Just one day, I just need to endure for one more day. The first thing I'll do once I'm out is to take down that Young Master Li Wei."

[Congratulations, host! You successfully suppressed Su Chen. Su Chen's luck has decreased. Congratulations, host! You have earned 2000 points.]

Ye Zi'an ignored the system's prompt and continued fucking Liu Qinghuan.
