After being bought by seven rough men and taken to the deep mountains, I was pampered.

Ever since the Grand Tutor hung up that golden plaque that read "Everything is renewed," the threshold of Langya Village has been worn down by the constant stream of visitors.

Wanxiang Academy has become incredibly popular.

But not all of these people came to study. Many were there to admire their idols.

That's right, idol worship. In this era of entertainment scarcity, the "Seven Wolves" group from Qin Family Academy is simply a top-tier boy band that has appeared out of nowhere!

……

At the entrance of the academy, a commercial street was taking shape.

"Don't push! Don't push! Line up!" Qin Yue, the fourth brother, stood in front of a makeshift stall, waving a repaired folding fan in his hand, his cheeks aching from smiling.

Behind him hung rows of dazzling "merchandise".

"I want the same gold-rimmed glasses as Brother Qin! Even if they don't have a prescription, I'll still wear them! They make me look cultured!"

A wealthy young lady shrieked and slammed down a silver note. "Alright! A pair of 'Refined Scoundrel' glasses! A mere fifty taels!"

"I want the same dumbbells as Master Qin! I want to build those... those pectoral muscles!" a thin scholar shouted, his face flushed.

"No problem! One set of the 'Macho Man Training - Stone Lock Set'! And it includes a 'Roar' wake-up call personally recorded by Third Master (not really)!"

"Um... do you have matching goggles for twins? I want to refine pills..."

"Yes, yes, yes! [Explosion-proof goggles], buy one get one free!"

Su Wan sat in the accounting room, listening to the noise outside that was even more lively than a vegetable market, and looking at the numbers jumping wildly on the account book, she couldn't help but rub her temples.

That's the power of IP management! She just casually mentioned the "celebrity effect," and that sly fourth brother almost sold his brothers' underwear.

"Sister-in-law, look at this." The fourth brother suddenly leaned halfway in through the window, presenting a delicate sachet like a treasure: "This is our new product—【Wolf Fang Incense】. It's said that wearing it can ward off evil spirits (actually, it's Qin Lie's murderous aura), and it's selling like hotcakes!"

Su Wan accepted the sachet, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Just as I was about to speak, suddenly, an extremely rich yet extremely cool rose scent wafted in from the direction of the backyard. The fragrance was so overpowering. It instantly drowned out all the perfumes and cosmetics on the street.

"This is..." Su Wan's nose twitched, "Seventh Brother's rose hydrosol?"

Qin Yue's expression changed, and he snapped his fan shut: "Damn it! Those crazy women went there because of the smell! With Seventh Brother's temper... I hope no one gets killed!"

……

The Rose Garden Laboratory on the back hill.

This place was originally used by Qin An, the seventh son, to grow "poisonous flowers" to deter thieves. Later, Su Wan transformed it into a rose garden.

At that moment, at the laboratory entrance, a group of elegantly dressed ladies from the county town were frantically pounding on the tightly closed wooden door, like sharks that had smelled blood.

"Dr. Qin! Open the door! We want to buy that miracle water!"

"I have money! I'll pay a thousand taels! Just one bottle!" "I heard that applying that lotion will make your skin as soft as a baby's! Sell it to me quickly!"

The room was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, "creak—" the door opened.

Qin An, dressed in a pale white robe, stood in the shadows.

He held a crystal bottle no bigger than the palm of his hand, the liquid inside a dreamy pink color.

His long bangs covered his eyes, revealing only his pale, almost transparent chin and his thin, bloodless lips.

"Want it?" His voice was soft and sinister, like a cold wind drifting from a cellar.

"Yes, yes, yes! We want it!" The ladies nodded frantically and reached out to grab it.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Qin An's lips. He raised his hand and held the crystal bottle high.

Sunlight shines through the bottle, refracting a mesmerizing halo.

"What a pity." He tilted his head, his dark eyes scanning the faces of the crowd through the gaps in his bangs: "Your skin... is too rough."

"It doesn't deserve it."

"What?!" The ladies were stunned, then flew into a rage. "How dare you say we're rough-skinned? Do you know who I am?!"

"Get lost." Qin An didn't waste any words. He suddenly raised his other hand, three gleaming silver needles between his fingertips. "If you don't leave, I'll... bleed you out and re-skin you."

"It's free."

"Whoosh—!" A palpable killing intent (the kind only a doctor who has actually killed people could possess) swept over us!

The ladies screamed in fright, their previous arrogance vanished instantly, and they scattered like birds, lifting their skirts.

Are you kidding me?! This isn't a miracle doctor, this is clearly the King of Hell!

……

The crowd dispersed. Su Wan arrived just in time. She looked at the mess of footprints on the ground and Qin An standing at the door, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, and sighed helplessly.

"Seventh Brother, in business, harmony brings wealth. If you act like this..."

"Sister-in-law." When Qin An saw Su Wan, the murderous aura on his body instantly disappeared, as if he had become a different person.

He fiddled with the crystal bottle in his hand, his eyes suddenly becoming sticky: "They're too noisy."

"Besides... how can we give such the best things to those common people?"

He stepped forward, ignoring that they were outside, grabbed Su Wan's hand, and pulled her into the lab. "Click." The door was locked again. (This seemed to have become a conditioned reflex for Lao Qi.)

The room was dimly lit, with only a faint flickering light from the still. The air was thick with the intense aroma of rose essential oil, so rich it was almost intoxicating, as if one had fallen into a sweet trap.

"Seventh Brother? What are you doing?" Su Wan tried to pull her hand away, but Qin An pressed her down onto a high-legged lab table. "Sit properly."

His voice was hoarse, carrying an undeniable air of obsession.

Su Wan was forced to sit on the edge of the table, her legs dangling in the air. This height put her line of sight at the same level as Qin An, who was standing. But Qin An wasn't standing.

He slowly... knelt down on one knee.

He knelt between Su Wan's legs.

"Seventh Brother!" Su Wan exclaimed in surprise, rushing to help him up. "What are you doing? Get up!"

Qin An did not move.

He looked up, his pale, handsome face, illuminated by the pink medicine, displaying an almost bewitching devotion.

He was like a believer, worshipping his god.

"Sister-in-law." He held up the crystal bottle and uncorked it. A richer, more intense floral fragrance, carrying the scent of cool dew, burst forth instantly.

"This is the 'first dew' that I obtained after refining it ninety-nine times."

"There's only one bottle of this in the whole world."

"Only my sister-in-law's skin... is worthy of it."

As he spoke, he poured some pink liquid into his palm and rubbed his hands together to warm them. The originally cool liquid, under his body heat, released an even more alluring fragrance.

He reached out and lifted Su Wan's layered skirt.

"No..." Su Wan subconsciously tried to close her legs.

"Don't move." Qin An forcefully pried her knees apart.

His burning palm, coated with the slippery pure dew, pressed against Su Wan's smooth calves.

A hissing sound—like an electric current running through her. Su Wan shuddered, her toes curling up.

Qin An's technique was very professional. After all, he was a renowned doctor; he had an intimate knowledge of every muscle and meridian in the human body.

His thumb and forefinger gripped her ankle, and his fingertips slowly moved upwards along the curve of her calf.

"My sister-in-law has been running around too much these past few days." "The muscles here... are tight."

He kept his head down, his expression focused as if he were performing a delicate surgery. But his eyes... were frighteningly fanatical.

"Mmm..." Su Wan couldn't help but let out a soft moan. It felt so good.

The soreness dissipated with the essential oils and massage, replaced by a tingling, itchy sensation.

Qin An's fingers slid across the back of her knee. That was an extremely sensitive spot.

Su Wan's legs went weak, and she almost slipped off the table.

Qin An took a step forward and used his shoulder to brace against her leg. This brought the two even closer together.

Su Wan was so close that she could feel his rapid breathing spraying onto the inside of her thighs.

"Sister-in-law." Qin An suddenly stopped what he was doing. He looked up, his dark eyes burning with what seemed like two will-o'-the-wisps.

He brought his hands, still warm and fragrant, to his nose and took a deep breath.

"It smells so good."

"This rose scent... when mixed with my sister-in-law's fragrance, is the most fragrant."

He looked at Su Wan, a sickly smile curling at the corner of his lips: "It's a waste to use it on those women outside."

"This fragrance... I want to keep it with my sister-in-law."

"Let everyone know..."

He suddenly lowered his head and placed a devout, warm kiss on her rose-scented calf: "Sister-in-law is mine."

"These legs...only I can touch them."

[Beep! "Yandere possessiveness" detected!]

[Target: Qin An (Seventh Brother). Status: Scented + Kneeling in submission!]

[Heartbeat Value: +2000! Rewards: [Top-Tier Perfumer Talent] + [Fully Automatic Essential Oil Extraction Machine Blueprint]!]

Su Wan looked at the man kneeling at her feet, whose eyes seemed to want to devour her whole, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

This isn't applying body lotion; it's clearly... marking territory!

"Are you done yet? If you're done, let me down!" Su Wan blushed and tried to push him away.

Qin An, however, still seemed unsatisfied, holding her ankle and gently stroking it with his fingertips: "It's not done yet." "The other leg... hasn't been coated yet."

"Sister-in-law wouldn't want... the two legs to smell different, would she?"

……

An hour later. Su Wan practically "escaped" from the laboratory. She was walking unsteadily, her body reeking of that domineering rose scent, carrying the "scent of Lao Qi" wherever she went.

Qin Yue stood at the door of the accounting office, watching Su Wan return with a flushed face, and his nose twitched. "Tsk." The fourth brother shook his fan and said sourly, "That seventh brother... he really went all out."

"This smell, I'm afraid it won't wash off even after a shower."

However… Qin Yue glanced at Su Wan's skin, which was clearly more hydrated and radiant, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes: “Since the effect is so good…”

"Sister-in-law, could we make a 'budget version' and sell it to those crazy women?"

"A drop of hydrosol mixed with a bucket of water, sold for fifty taels... isn't that excessive?"

Su Wan: "..."
