I have a lot of dating skills.

He didn't tell her he would be back during this holiday, intending to surprise her. But instead, he saw her entering and leaving a hotel with someone else. That night, he stood up from late at night until dawn.

He had previously moved himself with these actions, but for some reason, at this moment he felt utterly disgusted.

"Pah, you idiot! I'm talking about myself. I actually fawned over this woman for three whole years!"

The man grumbled and cursed, then easily had his ticket checked and entered the station.

Xin Yu smiled slightly, but suddenly he sensed a strong malice, which was completely undisguised, and negative emotions pressed down on him like a tidal wave.

Xin Yu turned his head and saw a lean man coming out of the other exit. He was dressed in an old-fashioned way and had an indifferent expression.

Xin Yu reached out with his spiritual tentacles and immediately understood why.

This is a pitiful man who has lost all hope and came from afar, only to kill his boss's entire family. His boss happens to be back in the city during his vacation.

He worked himself to the bone, numb with exhaustion, seeing no hope, only to be owed wages in good faith, and humiliated when his demands for payment failed. During his holiday, the man returned to his hometown, only to watch helplessly as his elderly mother passed away because he couldn't afford medical treatment; his wife had long since run away…

Xin Yu sighed and activated his spiritual tentacles.

The man suddenly paused, thinking of his daughter who was in high school and his son who was in middle school. The children were still young, and he was worried about them. And…

The man smiled slightly, recalling the past seven days at home. His children had done well in their studies and were filial. After his mother's burial, they stayed with him every day to cheer him up, fearing he would be sad.

"How could I let my child suffer the pain of losing a loved one for the sake of a scumbag?"

With that thought, he felt relieved and turned to the ticket window to buy a ticket home. Although he still felt resentment, he felt more warmth in his heart.

Xin Yu watched the man enter the station before turning to leave. As he walked, he extended all ten or so spiritual tentacles, the longest reaching forty or fifty meters, soothing people's emotions along the way.

He walked to the roadside, looked up at the sunset, got into a car and headed in one direction. Just now, he not only comforted the man who was determined to die, but also learned the name of his boss from the man's hateful surface emotions.

Ability 2: Touch of Filth, which captures hearts, corrupts humanity, and manipulates emotions.

This time, Xin Yu wanted to test just how far this ability could manipulate people's hearts.

A few days later, an obscure real estate company went bankrupt. Afterward, the company owner suffered from nightmares and lived in a daze, eventually going insane. However, before he went mad, he did something inexplicable: he paid his workers all the wages he owed them for the rest of their lives via online payment. Some of the workers owed wages by him had been owed wages for more than ten years.

……

A few nights later, Xin Yu held Zhao Fei and Zhao Weijing in his arms, with Huo Yingxi and Bei Jiamin serving them nearby.

But Xin Yu showed no intention of moving and let them do as they pleased.

These past few days he's been traveling around, using his ability of "Touch of Filth" to soothe the emotions of countless people, completely exhausting himself, and also making him realize a truth.

No matter how capable a person is, they cannot help everyone.

Sensing the negative emotions of many people at the bottom of society, Xin Yu sometimes has extreme thoughts, such as using his abilities to directly control the most powerful people in the world, and then using them to change society and make it more suitable for the majority of people to live in.

However, he knew that his ideas were incomplete, his understanding of the world was shallow, and he was unsure whether the consequences of taking such big steps would be good or bad. Moreover, his abilities were not abnormal to that extent.

In the past few days, he has gained a deeper understanding of the Touch of Filth. When encountering someone with an overly firm will, this ability is greatly reduced. Sometimes, influencing such a person takes many times longer. For example, it took several hours to completely influence the boss he met that night.

If it's this difficult to influence a small capitalist, imagine how much harder it is to influence the big ones.

Of course, the more important reason why it is difficult to influence these people is that Xin Yu's demands completely infringe upon their interests; otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.

In short, he decided to abandon his sudden heroic idea, play it safe, and develop his strength further.

Xin Yu casually pulled Bei Jiamin into his arms, using her to nourish his body.

The next day, he got up early as usual, before everyone else was awake. He leaned over Zhao Fei and had a hearty meal, then picked up the bottle containing Su Li and went out.

There were few passersby, and when an occasional office worker walked by, Xin Yu could sense the numbness in their expression. He stopped making a move unless he encountered someone who was truly desperate.

Upon arriving at the school, he stopped in his tracks as the gatekeeper opened the gate, and several luxury cars drove into the campus. Xin Yu remembered that these cars belonged to Su Li.

Looking down, Su Li in the bottle nodded expressionlessly, indicating that her true form was in the car.

“Interesting…” Xin Yu murmured, walking in the direction the car had gone. On the way, he opened the bottle cap, poured out the small amount of lychee, and held it in his hand.

Su Li's heart tightened. She didn't know what he wanted to do, but she didn't dare to resist. Or rather, this clone wasn't really averse to contacting Xin Yu.

As they approached the school's parking lot, Xin Yu frowned. He saw Su Li get out of the car in the distance, and the girl glanced in his direction, looking somewhat nervous.

But what made Xin Yu frown was not because of her, but because of the black-clad bodyguards who got out of the car with her and stood beside her.

For some reason, Xin Yu felt that this group of bodyguards was strange. They had stiff faces, never smiled, wore sunglasses, stood straight, and seemed very professional.

However, when Xin Yu's gaze fell on these people, he could sense from afar that their faces were filled with fear, resentment, and numb indifference.

What happened? Did Su Li mistreat her employees?

wrong.

Xin Yu observed that the bodyguards' resentment was not directed at Su Li, and looking at them, Xin Yu felt a strong sense of unease for some reason, as if these people were not real people, but rather creatures wearing a layer of human skin.

Why do I have this feeling?

Xin Yu was secretly surprised. He reached out his tentacles, but was taken aback. He found that he could not affect the emotions of these people. It was as if there was an invisible layer that blocked his attempts.

"Are these bodyguards really that determined?"

At this moment, Su Li walked towards him. When she reached him, she glanced at his pockets first, and then asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Xin Yu's gaze swept over the bodyguards behind her, but he couldn't figure out what they were doing. He could only suppress his surprise and ask, "Why did you bring so many people to the school?"

"Something came up," Su Li replied casually, then paused and said to him, "You can come along too."

After saying that, he led the people towards the building.

Xin Yu hesitated for a moment, but still followed. The bodyguards gave him a very strange feeling, and he wanted to figure it out.

Soon after, Xin Yu followed Su Li to a conference room. The conference room was full of people, and Xin Yu recognized several of them, including the principal and several school directors.

Board meeting?

Moreover, Su Li still seems to be the one holding the meeting; did she acquire the school?

Su Li took her seat, and Xin Yu stood with the bodyguards. After a while, he moved away from the bodyguards and stood behind them. He took out a small replica of Su Li from his pocket, rubbed her body with his fingertips, and asked her a question.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Su Li paused for a moment on the conference table, then continued speaking, her ears turning slightly red.

Xin Yu looked at the trembling little body in his palm, then at Su Li on the conference table not far away, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

Chapter 211 I've got you wrapped around my little finger.

When the meeting ended, Xin Yu barely listened; his attention was entirely focused on the little girl in his arms. He only remembered that the meeting decided to assign these bodyguards to the school's security force. Afterward, everyone left the meeting room, except for Xin Yu, who was left behind.

Before leaving, the school principal gave Xin Yu a special look, recognizing him as a student, and seemed surprised to see him there.

Xin Yu nodded to the principal without saying anything.

Su Li dismissed the bodyguards and sat down at the conference table, staring blankly at Xin Yu with anger in her eyes and a hint of seductive charm hidden in the corners of her eyes.

Just now, Xin Yu wanted to test her composure, so he avoided everyone's gaze and secretly played with the figurine in his hand. This infuriated the girl who was so imposing at the conference table. If her doppelganger hadn't been in Xin Yu's hands, she probably would have had the bodyguards kill her.

Xin Yu didn't seem to care and asked her, "Is there anything else?"

Su Li took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said, "I want my clone back. Name your conditions."

"Oh, really?" Xin Yu's gaze fell on her, stared at her for a while, and then smiled in a way that was neither confirming nor denying.

Seeing his strange smile, Su Li seemed to realize something and subconsciously shrank her neck, a blush creeping up her face, her expression one of utter shame and indignation.

He probably doesn't want his original body anymore.

Thinking this, she suddenly felt very powerless, and her body trembled slightly, whether from fear or excitement.

After a long while, she pinched her thigh hard to calm herself down and said, "I will no longer oppose you, and I believe you don't take me seriously either. As long as you release my clone, I am willing to pay any price."

Su Li couldn't let the clone remain in Xin Yu's hands any longer. She had been feeling uneasy lately, and her hatred for Xin Yu seemed to be fading day by day.

She originally thought that she was distracted by what her clone saw and heard with Xin Yu, but after reuniting with her clone today, she suddenly realized that wasn't the case.

She was being influenced by the clone; to be precise, Xin Yu was using the clone to harass her. Although she didn't know why her will had become so fragile, she dared not continue like this, fearing that she would become Xin Yu's weapon in the future, just like those girls who spent every day in bed with Xin Yu.

Realizing this, she decided to ask Xin Yu for her clone back, so she put aside all her pride and even planned to offer benefits that Xin Yu could not refuse.

Xin Yu stopped smiling, thought for a moment, and said to her, "That works too."

Unexpectedly, he agreed so easily. Su Li was initially delighted, but then a sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.

“However…” Xin Yu changed the subject, “I think we need to ask for her opinion.”

He opened his arms, revealing a little girl sitting in his palm, panting heavily.

Su Li was taken aback, then frowned: "Of course I agree."

She didn't understand why Xin Yu said that. The clone was one with her, and their thoughts were exactly the same. To her, the clone was no different from her hands and feet.

As for the sudden feeling of loss that arose in her heart, she suppressed it deep inside.

Xin Yu remained noncommittal, asking the clone Su Li in his palm, "Are you willing to leave me?"

Su Li was about to answer "yes" when she suddenly realized she couldn't speak. When she opened her mouth, a strong sense of attachment and reluctance welled up inside her, making it impossible for her to say the words "yes".

Her clone acted even more dramatically, her eyes glazed over as she gripped Xin Yu's fingers, staring at him blankly, shaking her head as if possessed: "I... don't want to."

Su Li was stunned. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. The words "unwilling" were spoken by her own mouth.

For the rest of the morning, Su Li was in a daze, her brows furrowed. She never expected that she would give that answer that morning. Although it was spoken by her clone, it was still her thought at that moment.

While sitting in class pondering this question, Su Li suddenly brought her legs together, her expression very serious.

……

Xin Yu left the meeting room and went back to class. He hid his clone, Su Li, in the desk and would occasionally reach in and tease her.

Now he is no longer worried that Su Li's clone will escape. The clone he created is deeply influenced by him, and it is easy to manipulate it. It can even affect the original body.

At this point, Su Li was already close to becoming his prisoner.

During the third period, Su Li, the clone, suddenly flew out of the desk and then out of the window.

Xin Yu was surprised that she would run away.

At this moment, Xin Yu's mental tentacles could reach as far as thirty or forty meters. He subconsciously wanted to grab the other party back, but suddenly a thought struck him, and he suppressed the urge to grab the other party.

He asked the teacher for leave and left the classroom under the questioning gazes of Zhao Weijing and Huo Yingxi.

Not long after, Xin Yu arrived at a pavilion in the school and saw Su Li sitting in the pavilion. She was opening her arms, intending to catch the clone that flew down, with a relieved smile on her face.

"Cough cough..."
