Chapter 114: What a Stunning Beauty with Such a Powerful Aura! A Second Encounter with the Chosen One!
[Location: Dream Bar - Corridor]
However, Han Qi was indeed Han Qi, a Child of Destiny and the resilient Dragon King Son-in-law. If he could endure his in-laws making him wash their feet and constantly scolding him for being useless, what was a little awkwardness with a woman now?
Instantly, Han Qi nodded, his mask hiding his true expression. He seemingly agreed without hesitation as he said:
"Yes. I can't call you 'Yueying' anymore, to prevent Young Master Shen from misunderstanding our relationship. From now on, I will address you as Young Miss Situ!"
"You seem a bit tired. You should rest well. I'll go back first. We will talk later."
Watching Han Qi leave, Situ Yueying's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of profound mockery, a sneer, and a chill that reached her soul.
"Is this the man I used to like? The hero I worshipped? Haha... I was truly blind back then!"
"Compared to Young Master Shen... Han Qi's so-called 'enduring hardship' and 'grand plans' are nothing but a clown's act! He is a coward hiding behind excuses."
"Young Master Shen is the true great man. He takes what he wants. He protects what is his."
As if recalling everything from last night—the intense pleasure, the possessiveness, the revenge on the Tang Family—Situ Yueying's fair face flushed with a faint, heated blush. The [Fixed Light Joy Contract] hummed in her veins, reinforcing her loyalty.
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Situ Yueying's favorability +3! Plundering +9,000 Destiny Points!]
...
[Location: Inside the Rolls-Royce]
On the other side of the city, Shen Anyu also received continuous notifications of plundering Han Qi's Destiny Value, and Situ Yueying's favorability increasing to eighty-eight.
"This [Fixed Light Joy Contract] is truly wonderful. It can even influence people's emotions subtly. Overbearing... very overbearing..."
Shen Anyu was not surprised by the increase in Situ Yueying's favorability. Han Qi's act of 'gifting' her had completely hurt Situ Yueying, shattering her idol. And Shen Anyu avenging her family created a stark contrast between a user and a protector.
Women are emotional creatures. They love fiercely, but they can also hate with extreme ruthlessness! Even a loyal woman like Situ Yueying was no exception. Perhaps especially her.
What's more, last night Shen Anyu once again verified the theory of the great writer Eileen Chang: "The way to a woman's heart is through her vagina." It was simply true!
At this moment, Situ Yueying only had a trace of gratitude left for Han Qi; her body and mind were almost completely captivated by Shen Anyu.
"Young Lord. We have arrived at our destination!" the driver announced.
Shen Anyu looked out the window at the sign for Magic City International Airport. A gentle look appeared in his eyes...
...
[Location: Magic City Airport - Arrivals Hall]
At this moment, outside Magic City Airport, passengers coming and going all looked with amazed eyes at a certain spot near the VIP exit.
There stood a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She was tall, with pretty short hair cut in a sharp, military style, and a heroic [Aura] that pushed people away.
She wore a well-tailored black skirt suit that hinted at the powerful muscles beneath, wrapped in sheer black stockings, and practical flat shoes. She looked like a professional woman on a business trip, but the way she stood—balanced, alert—betrayed her true nature.
She wore little makeup, yet she was naturally beautiful, her features striking and commanding.
But no one around dared to approach her. Because when her gaze swept over the crowd, her presence was too powerful. It was suffocating.
That astonishing [Aura] was like seeing a top-of-the-food-chain beast, a tiger resting in a park.
Some people began to whisper and discuss, keeping their distance:
"That beauty has such a powerful Aura! Even our CEO doesn't have such a powerful presence!"
"More than that! Last time I accompanied my boss to a provincial investment promotion conference and met a High Official... and I felt he didn't have as much pressure as this woman!"
"Good heavens... for a woman like this, her boyfriend or husband must be henpecked. An ordinary man simply couldn't stand straight in front of her! She'd eat him alive!"
"Oh, look quickly! A man is going up to chat her up! Another brave soul!"
"Heh heh, he's not the first. The ones who went up before were scared away by just a glance from this beauty! Let's see him crash and burn."
At this moment, an incomparably handsome young man walked towards this spirited short-haired beauty. He moved with confidence, his smile warm.
To everyone's surprise... the short-haired beauty smiled back. A genuine, dazzling smile that transformed her face.
She actively stepped forward and embraced the handsome man!
Everyone around them looked on with envy and jealousy. The ice queen had melted!
However, seeing the handsome man take the short-haired beauty into a waiting stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom, they seemed to understand.
"I knew it... a beauty with such a powerful Aura must have an extraordinary identity. Either her family is powerful, or her man is powerful!"
"Hmph! Is it not possible that this short-haired Young Miss herself is powerful? She looks like she could break him in half."
"..."
Inside the car, the privacy partition rose.
The handsome man, Shen Anyu, listened to these words and said to the short-haired beauty:
"Achieving [Martial Dao Grandmaster] before thirty... now the youngest person in Yanxia to be appointed to a high military rank... General Instructor of the top special forces [Fire Phoenix Special Forces]... titled the [Phoenix War God]!"
"A woman like this... looking across the entire world, is among the most excellent and outstanding! Auntie, you are a legend."
"You... don't flatter your Aunt An Zhiyue as soon as we meet! Your romantic affairs here in Magic City... Aunt An Zhiyue has heard about them even in the Imperial Capital! You little playboy."
The short-haired beauty, An Zhiyue, poked the handsome man's forehead with her slender but calloused finger. She said it in an annoyed tone, yet with a fond smile on her face.
This man and woman were naturally Shen Anyu and his Aunt, An Zhiyue.
Shen Anyu also smiled and said:
"How is that flattery? What I said is all true. In the various war zones of Yanxia, countless soldier kings and War Gods regard Aunt An Zhiyue as their goddess. You break hearts wherever you go."
"A while ago, I even heard that Aunt An Zhiyue personally led the Fire Phoenix Special Forces to win the military martial arts championship! Beating the men at their own game."
"If Aunt An Zhiyue cannot bear the six words 'women are no less capable than men,' then who in the world can?"
Looking at the short-haired woman in front of him, Shen Anyu's face held a sincere smile, without any falsehood.
He remembered.
It was this woman, facing Ye Yan, the Child of Destiny who was a powerful expert descending from the mountains... who saved Shen Anyu at the cost of her own life. She perished protecting him.
Unfortunately, Shen Anyu, whom she saved with her life, still tragically died under Ye Yan's feet according to the original plot!
"In this life... it will absolutely not be as written in the book."
"Aunt An Zhiyue, mother, father, grandfather, maternal grandfather, cousin... All the people I cherish and hold dear will be well. They will stand at the summit."
"Conversely... all the Children of Destiny who oppose me must die!"
A cold light flashed in Shen Anyu's eyes as he thought this.
In his past and present life, having comprehended the mystery of the womb, his family in this life were his true family. Without any falsehood.
And An Zhiyue looked at her nephew in surprise.
She felt a terrifying [Aura] flash from him for a split second. An aura of malice and power that made even her, a Grandmaster, tremble and palpitate.
If she didn't have confidence in her own senses, she might have thought it was an illusion.
She had achieved [Martial Dao Grandmaster] years ago and had experienced countless battles on the border. An Aura that could make even her tremble was simply unimaginable.
"An'yu... it seems you have grown a lot. Many things must have happened here in Magic City..."
An Zhiyue, however, did not press further. Instead, she stroked Shen Anyu's head, speaking with a touch of heartache.
As the only male of the third generation of the [Yanxia Shen Family] and the [Yanxia An Family], two top aristocratic families, Shen Anyu could be said to have been doted on by the elders of both families since childhood. He had never suffered any hardship.
In the past, he was a carefree, gluttonous, and lazy fop. Although intelligent, where was there even a trace of this Evil Qi?
"Aunt An Zhiyue! How old am I? Are you still stroking my head like a kid?"
Shen Anyu smiled and dodged, but still couldn't resist his Aunt An Zhiyue, who playfully ruffled his hair again.
"No matter how old you are, you're still my nephew. I'll stroke your head whenever I want! You can be the Emperor, and I'll still do it!"
An Zhiyue said with a beaming smile.
Shen Anyu was speechless. He changed the subject to business.
"Aunt An Zhiyue... didn't you say you were coming to Magic City on official business? To meet a very powerful and terrifying man?"
When the topic turned to serious matters, An Zhiyue also became serious. Her playful demeanor vanished, replaced by the steel of a general.
"That man is named Yan Lingxiao."
"The Alliance Leader of the [War God Alliance]. A [Martial Dao Grandmaster]."
"Under his command are Eight Grandmaster-Level Generals. One Hundred and Eight [Innate] Commanders. And tens of thousands of elite mercenary soldiers."
"He is infamous in the international [Dark World], with powerful influence that topples regimes. He even slaughtered tens of thousands in a single battle on the Western Continent battlefield."
"He is back."
