In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

She hadn't been able to find a satisfactory transplant candidate before; you could say she was picky, or you could say she was greedy and wanted everything.

Although this is a passive acquisition, it has solved her dilemma of choice to the greatest extent—as long as she knows the other party's abilities, she can just take whatever she wants.

Wow, looking at it this way, that slut actually got more than me...

Some people, however, still have the audacity to criticize, saying things like, "And what about you? Don't tell me you didn't gain anything."

She was candid with Xu Shi, telling her about her new abilities and how she had completely activated "Unity of Will".

"That sounds good too."

Xie Qingyan nodded slightly, "But I feel... it's not as good as mine."

"You seem pretty smug, huh?"

"of course."

The woman didn't deny it at all, and said smugly, "I've always been thinking about when I could beat you... This counts as a win, huh."

"Should I give you a red envelope?"

Xu Shi didn't spoil her and reached out to flick her forehead.

However, he wasn't truly jealous. Such things could only be described as fate. He had already received his superpower long ago, and before that plug-in project was developed, he couldn't acquire any new abilities no matter what.

Shen Qin is not an option either, as they are both dual-ability users; only Xie Qingyan meets this requirement.

He wasn't dissatisfied with what he had gained; it was simply a mutually beneficial arrangement.

"Forget about the red envelope."

Xie Qingyan shook his head, reached out and pulled Xu Shi down onto himself.

Yes.

If she had to pinpoint the biggest gain from this battle, she wouldn't say it was acquiring new abilities, but rather that she was now able to be completely honest with Xu Shi, and the two of them were no longer at odds.

They were only engaged in name before, but now they are truly engaged.

She thought to herself, "Let's get married after we return to the City of Nights."

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that we should do something adults do now, and make up for the things we didn't finish when we were inside the sea god's body.

"Congratulations... pack yourself up and give it to me."

Thinking this, Xie Qingyan's movements became more alluring, her eyes filled with seductive charm as she looked at Xu Shi, who was so close to her, and said, "Take me... right now."

"Hmph, how dare a mere demoness utter such arrogant words?"

Xu Shi kissed her without any hesitation, "Witch, take this!"

Chapter 242 Poor Feng and Ling are manipulated by wicked women

"Is Master awake?!"

At Pan Cheng's residence, Pan Ling, who had just woken up, couldn't wait to jump up upon hearing the news. Before she was even properly dressed, she went to find her teachers' wives to confirm the situation.

"OK."

Xia Wuyou and his companions were guests here, and they nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"That's great..."

Little Ling pinched herself excitedly, and only after confirming it wasn't a dream did she laugh, "I'm going to see him!"

"return."

Xia Wuyou grabbed her arm. "Let's go later. It's not a good time now."

"Hey, why?"

The foolish apprentice was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Because someone was with him... no, it's that some people, as soon as they woke up, rushed into someone else's house."

Xia Xiaomao puffed out her cheeks sourly, "Then they just close the door and do whatever they want, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter."

I'm so angry! I should have thought of that sooner!

She hadn't really paid much attention to it, since Xie Qingyan hadn't woken up yet... but at this close range, she could definitely hear whatever was going on inside.

Especially since she saw Ye Shanshan being kicked out, it was obvious what Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan were doing.

Hmph! You did that kind of thing right after waking up, you have no shame at all!

If you're going to do it, do it with me... No wonder that jerk was so coy with both me and Jiang Chengcheng before, he was saving it all for your fiancée, huh?!

You fickle, greedy thing, you might as well just die!

"Ah...oh."

Xia Wuyou's words were veiled, but Pan Ling, with her wicked heart, was not so oblivious as to not understand them, and immediately realized what he meant.

Just thinking about it made her blush unconsciously. Ugh, what a perverted teacher…

Moreover, in that case...

"So, should we call her Madam Xie from now on?"

The foolish apprentice blurted out instinctively, realizing that calling her Aunt Xie anymore would be inappropriate...

"Ok?"

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Wuyou, who was still jealous, glared at her.

"...But no matter what, Madam Xia is the best madam!"

Pan Ling was startled by the glare and, realizing something was wrong, quickly and timidly pledged her loyalty.

Goodness, even when Master was swallowed by the Sea God, Xia Shi Niang's reaction was no more than this.

How scary, boohoo...

"Oh?"

Before Xia Xiaomao could say anything, Jiang Chengcheng leaned over, chuckled, and pinched her cheek, "Then isn't Jiang Shiniang the best Shiniang?"

"No, no, that's not true, Madam Jiang is too..."

The foolish apprentice was at a loss, his face was being pinched and he couldn't even speak clearly, looking like he was about to cry.

"Ow."

Xia Wuyou nodded, "Your ability to be fickle is indeed comparable to your master's... Then let's make it clear, who is the best master's wife?"

"I……"

Pan Ling had no idea how to answer this question. She really wanted to cry. Why are you being so sarcastic, Pan Xiaoling!

My mentor is such a bad mentor! He taught me so much, but at least he can teach me how to handle this situation! *sobs*

To be fair, neither Xia Wuyou nor Jiang Chengcheng are much older than Pan Ling in terms of age. So, they definitely don't qualify as "master's wife"; "senior sister" would be a more accurate description.

But these two had long since become completely corrupted under Xu Shi's influence; in the parlance of fantasy novels, they were little demonesses. How could a naive and innocent disciple like him be a match for them? He could only be molded and torn to pieces...

She didn't even realize that the two mistresses weren't targeting her at all, but rather her wicked master—as the saying goes, a disciple pays for a master's debt; if you can't beat Xu Shi, can't you beat him?

"Oh dear, poor Xiaoling."

Pan Feng, who was playing chess with Xia Ke'an nearby, sighed upon seeing this.

But she didn't mean to break up the fight; it was just playful fighting. How could it possibly lead to someone's death?

On the contrary, she thought it was quite good, better than her sister locking herself in her room every day and not talking to anyone.

Master seems very happy... Why don't you make a sacrifice for this?

"It seems so..."

The older woman readily agreed, blinking her watery eyes as she asked, "Junior Sister Xiaofeng, what does it mean when you close a small door and it becomes a unified whole, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter?"

"Forehead……"

Pan Feng didn't know how to answer. Compared to her sister, she was much more innocent and knew nothing about those dirty things.

But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't think it was a good word, so she shook her head seriously, "Children shouldn't ask such things, it will make them go astray."

Why did it turn bad?

The white-haired little girl persisted, her innocent face revealing her continued questioning.

"Well... just don't ask anymore!"

Pan Feng couldn't keep up with the conversation, so he simply changed the subject and pushed the snacks on the table in front of her, "Here, let's continue playing chess. There are still snacks, you can have them all."

"Alright alright."

Xia Ke'an nodded as if she understood, then pushed the chess piece forward a step as she spoke, and then clapped her hands triumphantly and laughed, "Junior Sister Xiao Feng, you lost! Come on, put the note on me!"

"I lost again?!"

Pan Feng was startled and looked down to see that it was indeed a dead piece. But then he thought about it again and felt something was wrong. Was this how it was set up? It didn't feel like it...

But as the saying goes, you have to catch a thief red-handed. Even if she suspected that Xia Ke'an had switched the chess pieces, she couldn't say it. Besides, the punishment was nothing serious, just a sticker... Oh well.

She leaned closer, letting the older woman add another line to her face.

Looking at her reluctant and silly junior sister, the white-haired loli was laughing so hard she was rolling on the floor inside.

She was the one who switched the chess pieces, otherwise why would she choose this moment to distract her?

Actually, this was a bit dirty. She taught Pan Feng the game, and he could only win a few times anyway. You did this when you finally got the chance... But Xiao Ke'an didn't care. The perfect record couldn't be broken, otherwise how could she be the senior sister to them?

hoo hoo hoo~

So the scene here was quite harmonious—Pan Ling was being attacked from both sides by her two master's wives and couldn't breathe, while Pan Feng had his face smeared white by Xia Ke'an...

The truly pitiful sisters, Feng and Ling, were manipulated and played like puppets by a wicked woman.

"...Damn it, this little ingrate, he's never been this filial to his own father."
