Chapter 112: Situ Yueying: Dragon King, I'm Sorry... The Contract Takes Hold!
[Location: Dream Bar - VIP Private Room]
Situ Yueying listened to Shen Anyu's words about her life belonging to him. She nodded, agreeing out of necessity.
But then, she reacted with shock. The blood drained from her face, leaving her pale.
Because Situ Yueying was horrified to discover that Shen Anyu's words seemed to resound directly from her heart. It wasn't just him speaking; it was her own inner voice echoing back at her.
"Don't be surprised. I can hear what you're thinking!"
Shen Anyu smiled as he looked at Situ Yueying. He could sense all her chaotic thoughts—her fear, her loyalty to Han Qi, her resentment towards him, her confusion about the contract. It was all laid bare.
But Situ Yueying naturally couldn't hear Shen Anyu's thoughts. The connection was one-way. Master to Servant.
"Tell me... what did Mr. Han tell you to do by my side?"
Situ Yueying bit her red lips tightly. She clamped her mouth shut, refusing to betray Han Qi.
But to her despair, shock, and disbelief... as Shen Anyu's words fell, her jaw moved on its own.
She involuntarily opened her mouth and said, her voice trembling:
"The Dragon King told me to come to your side... to whisper in your ear... to gain your support. To help his [Dragon King Society]'s power expand using the [Yanxia Shen Family]'s influence, wealth, and background."
"He wants to use you to develop his own forces! To fight the Han Family!"
"Once his wings are fully grown... he will then leave you. He plans to break ties once he has what he wants."
She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. She had spilled everything! The entire plan!
Listening to these words, Shen Anyu didn't show any surprise. He already knew.
He said with a half-smile, swirling his wine:
"That's a good plan. Ambitious. But am I, Shen Anyu, a pushover? Does he think I'm a stepping stone?"
"And what about you? What grand promises did Mr. Han make to you to get you to agree to this?"
Shen Anyu reached out and lifted Situ Yueying's delicate, fair chin, forcing her to look at him.
Before Situ Yueying could reply, Shen Anyu understood from her surface thoughts.
"So that's it... That Mr. Han promised that after success, he would let you return to his side. He promised to take you back."
"But... you actually refused him in your heart? Why did you refuse?"
Looking at the smiling expression on Shen Anyu's incomparably handsome face, Situ Yueying wanted to punch him fiercely at this moment. She felt violated.
She said indignantly, tears of frustration welling up:
"Can't you hear my thoughts? Why do you need to ask if you already know?!"
At this moment, Situ Yueying's heart was filled with shame, indignation, helplessness, despair, terror, confusion, and disbelief. Her emotions were a chaotic storm.
She knew that Mr. Han's mission this time had completely failed. Before it even began.
And she had completely fallen into the hands of the unfathomable and mysterious Shen Anyu.
How could there be such a magical and incredible [Fixed Light Joy Contract] in this world? It was like a ghost story or a myth come to life!
At this moment, Situ Yueying had given up. She let her arms fall to her sides, letting Shen Anyu do whatever he wanted.
No matter how mature and capable a woman was... if her body and mind were completely controlled, and even her thoughts could be heard by the other party... what chance did she have to turn the tables? She was naked before him.
However, Shen Anyu pinched Situ Yueying's chin tighter. He narrowed his eyes.
"I want you to answer personally! Speak it!"
Situ Yueying's delicate body trembled. A wisp of dark hair fell across her face. Her red lips were bitten by her pearly teeth until they were white.
She looked at Shen Anyu with slightly red eyes, saying resignedly:
"Alright... I'll say it! I'll say it! Is that enough?!"
"I have a good impression of you... despite everything. And after completing the mission... if you still want me... then I will accompany you for the rest of my life to atone for my sins of betrayal."
"If you don't want me... then I will live a life of solitude and devotion to Buddha! I will never return to Han Qi!"
"As for Mr. Han... hehe... after repaying his life-saving kindness tonight... I don't intend to have any more dealings with people like him! He sold me!"
"Shen Anyu! Now that you know all this! And you know that I was by your side with ill intentions... do with me as you please! Kill me or use me!"
Looking at Situ Yueying, who was kneeling on the ground in her beautiful red dress, her eyes full of despair and helplessness, Shen Anyu suddenly smiled.
He squatted down to her level. He gently brushed away the messy dark hair on her pretty face, his touch surprisingly tender.
"Coincidentally... I also have a good impression of you. More than just a tool."
Situ Yueying looked at Shen Anyu in astonishment. She didn't expect him to say such words after hearing her confession.
"Let me show you something good. A gift."
Shen Anyu smiled. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, opened the photo album, and handed it to Situ Yueying.
Situ Yueying was puzzled. She didn't know what Shen Anyu wanted her to see. But at this moment she was like a fish on a chopping block; resistance was futile. She gave a self-deprecating smile and took the phone.
Upon seeing the first image, Situ Yueying's eyes widened. She became excited, staring intently at the screen. Her delicate face showed an expression of extreme shock and delight.
She swiped. And swiped again.
After repeatedly flipping through the photos for a long time, her beautiful eyes looked up at Shen Anyu brightly, shimmering with tears.
"You... you... is this real?"
Shen Anyu smiled.
"Your body and mind are now my captives. Do I still need to lie to you?"
Situ Yueying immediately believed him. Everything about her was now being toyed with by Shen Anyu. After signing that strange contract, even her inner thoughts couldn't be hidden. Did a Young Master like Shen Anyu of the Yanxia Shen Family still need to lie to her about this?
Tears, like broken pearls, fell from Situ Yueying's delicate and captivating jade-like face!
At this moment, Situ Yueying was weeping openly. She held Shen Anyu's phone to her chest, clutching it like a lifeline. She raised her head, closing her eyes, letting the tears flow freely.
"Mom... Dad... your revenge has been taken!"
"The Tang Family is dead!"
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Situ Yueying's favorability +10! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Situ Yueying's total favorability has reached 85! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
Shen Anyu watched this scene with a calm and natural smile. He wasn't surprised.
Because the album Shen Anyu showed Situ Yueying contained photos of the [Sichuan Tang Family]'s total destruction.
Ruins. Fire. And the painful, distorted corpse of Situ Yueying's great enemy, Third Master Tang, the man who had ordered the slaughter of her family!
Although in Situ Yueying's eyes, the Sichuan Tang Family was incredibly powerful and their hidden weapons terrifying... in Shen Anyu's eyes, they were not worth mentioning.
He had dispatched the seven [Martial Arts Grandmaster] guards obtained from the System to destroy them overnight. No one could stop them!
Coincidentally, the Sichuan Tang Family was in the deep mountains and old forests, so their destruction had little impact on the outside world. It was done without anyone knowing. A silent erasure.
"Young Master Shen... thank you... truly, thank you..."
Situ Yueying opened her beautiful eyes, hazy with tears. She bowed deeply to Shen Anyu, her forehead touching his knee.
At this moment, Situ Yueying didn't care what schemes Shen Anyu had. She didn't care about Han Qi's mission.
Shen Anyu had avenged her great hatred. A hatred she thought she would carry to her grave.
For that, she would repay him with her life. Willingly.
Shen Anyu lifted Situ Yueying's chin again. He looked at her with a smile, but Situ Yueying felt Shen Anyu's gaze was different now. It was fervent. Possessive.
Her tender, snow-white skin involuntarily flushed crimson.
"I helped you avenge a great hatred... so there should be a reward, right? A celebration?"
"...Yes!"
Situ Yueying bit her red lip slightly. Her eyes darkened with resolve and desire.
She stepped forward, her hands reaching for the bottle of wine.
"Allow me to serve you properly, Master."
...
[Location: Outside the Private Room - Balcony]
At the same time.
Situ Yuehe, the hot-tempered brother, was pacing. No matter how slow he was, he finally realized what was happening inside.
He walked up to Mr. Han, who was wearing the Bronze Dragon King mask and staring at the moon.
"Mr. Han! Why?! You clearly knew about my sister's feelings! You sent her in there!"
"This matter... your sister and I have already discussed it. And your sister has already agreed," Mr. Han said, his voice flat.
"Furthermore... Young Master Shen is also a good choice. He is powerful. He will treat your sister well. Better than I can."
Mr. Han interrupted Situ Yuehe's questioning with a wave of his hand.
"Hmph!"
Situ Yuehe snorted coldly. He glared at the masked man, then left in annoyance, slamming the door to the balcony.
Mr. Han shook his head. His gaze was complex as he watched Situ Yuehe's disappearing back.
He stood with his hands behind his back, alone. He looked up at the bright full moon in the sky over Modu.
Vaguely, he seemed to see Situ Yueying's beautiful and delicate jade-like face in the moonlight.
He felt quite bitter in his heart. A hollow ache.
Even though his heart was only devoted to his wife, Liu Qingyue... how could he not have feelings for a woman as loyal, righteous, enchanting, and beautiful as Situ Yueying? She had been his shadow for years.
"I'm sorry, Yueying," he whispered to the wind. "Dragon King is sorry."
But now... she belonged to another.
