Shen Xiu submits

After Alan left Shen Xiu's room, he checked out multiple notifications he had received. Zila was nice enough to put them away and not let these notifications disturb Alan.

[Successfully suppressing Shen Xiu. Reward: +200 Celestial Points.]

[Greatly stimulating Shen Xiu's lust. Reward: +1000 Celestial Points.]

[Congratulations! Shen Xiu has successfully submitted to the Host. Reward: +1000 Celestial Points.]

[Congratulations, Host, for acquiring a servant. You can check the loyalty of the servant.]

[

"What does low loyalty mean?" Alan asked Zila.

Zila soon responded to Alan's question, 'There are five grades of loyalty. Extremely Low, Low, Medium, High, Extremely High. The servants possessing extremely low loyalty would betray you the second they find an opportunity. Meanwhile, those with extremely high loyalty would never betray you no matter the consequences.'

"I see. Shen Xiu is just one step away from the extremely low loyalty, huh?" Alan whispered.

This wasn't optimistic, but he was sure that this woman would hold herself back from betraying Alan at this moment. It was because her fear of Alan would prevent her from making any rash moves.

He could improve her loyalty slowly.

While Alan was busy making Shen Xiu submit to him, Nie Li spent some time with Ye Ziyun.

Ye Ziyun didn't want to talk to him, but Nie Li seemed to have no intention of leaving her alone in the library. He was unexpectedly shameless and clingy today.

However, she did accept a technique from Nie Li and felt it wouldn't be appropriate to reject him like that.

Ye Ziyun was still distressed that her father prevented her from contacting Alan. She truly disliked that order.

Nie Li was genuinely worried upon seeing her distressed appearance. But he was convinced that this was necessary to bring Ye Ziyun to the right track.

If she continued to hang out with Shen Yue, Ye Ziyun wouldn't realize that she would harm the innocent lives in the Glory City.

Nie Li regained memories of his past life and knew for a fact that the Sacred Family ran away when the Demon Beasts invaded the Glory City.

If not for their cowardice, the Glory City could have remained standing even after enduring the Demon Beasts Assault.

Nie Li was sure that Shen Yue was different compared to his previous life. But Shen Yue had shown that he was planning to side with the Sacred Family even in this life. This meant that he would flee along with the Sacred Family when the Demon Beasts attacked.

It would be better for Ye Ziyun to experience some sadness now rather than experience it later.

In truth, this was only an excuse. The fact is that Nie Li was compelled to execute this action because he was envious of Ye Ziyun and Alan's relationship. His logic was incredibly prejudiced, and he sought to convince himself that he was doing the decent thing when he knew he wasn't.

But in any case, Nie Li had accomplished his initial objective. He planned to slowly get closer to Ye Ziyun's heart by gifting her some pellets and talking to her.

Nie Li believed that no one in the world knew Ye Ziyun better than him. They shared an amorous relationship in his past life, and he planned to use all the information from it to court Ye Ziyun.

While Nie Li's focus was entirely on Ye Ziyun, he had no idea that Alan had already begun to scheme against Yang Xin.

~~

The next day, Alan arrived in the Fighter Apprentice Class, and he noticed something peculiar.

Ye Ziyun was trying to keep some distance between them. Alan knitted his brows slightly as he noticed Ye Ziyun changing her seat as she saw him approach her.

Alan unconsciously gazed in Nie Li's direction.

Nie Li noticed Alan's gaze, and his expression remained calm.

'Something is going on. I need to find out why Ye Ziyun is creating distance between us,' Alan wondered.

The class soon began. Alan sat next to Xiao Ning'er while the teacher taught basic geography and gave some information regarding the Demon Beasts.

After the class ended, Alan spoke to Xiao Ning'er, "Ning'er, I saw an exquisite restaurant yesterday and plan to check it out. Will you come with me?"

Xiao Ning'er was delighted to receive this offer. She immediately nodded while latching onto his left arm, "I will! What's the time?"

"Let's meet there at around 4," Alan spoke while getting out of Xiao Ning'er's grasp and leaving the classroom.

After Alan left, he utilized his Shadow Devil Demon Spirit and activated its Void-Form. He then returned to the classroom.

Alan was entirely invisible, with not a hint of his presence leaking out. Even Nie Li, with his vast experience, could sense Alan at this point.

When Nie Li saw Alan leaving the classroom, he couldn't restrain himself any longer and stood up. He approached Ye Ziyun and attempted to talk to her.

Alan raised his brows when he noticed Ye Ziyun was actually talking to Nie Li.

Nie Li started the conversation by asking Ye Ziyun about her cultivation. He began giving her tips regarding the cultivation technique and how she could utilize it better.

Ye Ziyun seemed grateful to Nie Li for helping her out. However, Ye Ziyun soon had a dazed expression as they stared at the classroom's entrance.

After observing everything that he must, Alan left the classroom. He understood that Nie Li was trying to score some points while Ye Ziyun was restraining herself from talking to Alan.

Even after discovering this problem, Alan had no intention of contacting Ye Ziyun and enquiring about it. As a lawyer, he knew that negotiating from a position of weakness is never a good idea.

It would be best if she came to him. That would make Alan the position of authority in that scenario.

The way to accomplish that was to stimulate Ye Ziyun's jealousy.

'Envy is one of the deadly sins that can corrupt even the most honest and sincere individuals.'

Alan has to make Ye Ziyun so envious of Xiao Ning'er that she breaks off her shackles and contacts him regardless of the consequences.

'My plan remains unchanged then. It was a good thing to arrange that date with Xiao Ning'er. We should go to a restaurant that's on the route to the City Lord's Mansion,' Alan thought.
