Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

But why does it feel so familiar?

Hearing this, Chen Tianwu also realized something was wrong. She glanced at Yu Zhe calmly and met his meaningful smile.

Chen Tianwu immediately averted her gaze and continued eating as if nothing had happened. "Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night." Her voice was calm, almost deliberately. "After all, the banquet last night lasted quite late."

She also felt that strange feeling of fullness, like... She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Under the dining table, Chen Tianwu unconsciously closed his legs.

She was sure that Yu Zhe was doing something bad in secret that she couldn't detect.

Marissa rubbed her stomach. "But this feeling..." She suddenly burped and quickly covered her mouth, her face flushed. "Sorry! I didn't eat much..."

Anna's ears turned red when she saw this. She lowered her head and pretended to concentrate on stirring the soy milk. She seemed to smell a strange smell coming from Marissa's mouth just now.

"Do you want some more soy milk?" Yu Zhe suddenly asked, with a faint smile in his voice.

The three girls shook their heads at the same time, their movements so coordinated that they seemed a little suspicious.

There was a brief silence at the table, with only the crisp sound of cutlery colliding.

Anna secretly raised her eyes and found that Marissa was pressing her lower abdomen in confusion, and although Chen Tianwu maintained an elegant sitting posture, her neck was faintly pink.

It suddenly dawned on her—they all seemed to be experiencing the same unusual sensation.

But Anna was confused as to why this happened. If Yu Zhe had done something to her alone, she could understand it, but why did he do it to the three of them?

Besides, Yu Zhe should have been with me last night.

Anna was puzzled.

"Um..." Anna mustered up the courage to speak, but suddenly lost her words when she saw Yu Zhe's meaningful look. She hurriedly grabbed a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth. "I, I'm full..."

Chen Tianwu put down the cutlery in her hand and said, "Me too." When she stood up, her body swayed imperceptibly, and it seemed that her legs were a little weak.

Marissa looked at the two people who were suddenly leaving and became even more confused: "What's wrong with you? You look so weird..." She reached out to hold Anna, but because of her big movement, she hiccuped again, and this time the sound was more obvious.

Anna jumped away like a frightened rabbit, her face red as if blood was dripping out: "No, nothing! I just suddenly want to rest..." She spoke quickly, her eyes wandering.

She was too familiar with the faint sweet smell coming from Marissa's mouth - it was the taste of the "drink" specially made by Yu Zhe last night.

Anna's mind immediately flashed back to the blushing scenes of last night, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Chen Tianwu also obviously noticed something. She pursed her lips and took a half step back calmly.

Yu Zhe's eyes moved between the three people: "Do you need me to take you there?" His tone was normal, but there was a gleam in his eyes as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.

"No, no thanks!" Anna almost blurted out, "I... I can do it myself..."

Chen Tianwu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Me too, I can do it on my own." As she was about to turn around, she accidentally knocked over the water cup at hand, and the clear water quickly spread all over the table.

"Ouch!" Marissa quickly stood up to help, but accidentally burped again. This time, she noticed something was wrong and frowned in confusion. "Strange, is breakfast so filling today?"

Did she eat that much just now? And the taste in her mouth felt a little strange.

Anna and Chen Tianwu froze at the same time when they heard this. They both stole a glance at Yu Zhe and then quickly looked away.

Yu Zhe picked up the napkin as if nothing had happened and slowly wiped the water stains on his hands.

His gaze lingered on Marissa's confused face for a moment, then swept across Anna and Chen Tianwu's nervous expressions.

"Since you don't need it, then forget it."

"But today's breakfast is indeed very special and delicious~" After saying that, Yu Zhe licked his lips meaningfully.

213 Walking

Anna and Marissa left quickly, leaving only Yu Zhe and Chen Tianwu.

Yu Zhe looked at Chen Tianwu who was about to leave, "Are you leaving too?"

Chen Tianwu frowned slightly when she heard Yu Zhe's words. "What do you think?" Her tone was calm, but the ending tone rose slightly, revealing a hint of questioning. She looked up and down Yu Zhe's face, as if trying to read his thoughts.

Yu Zhe didn't dodge and looked directly into Chen Tianwu's eyes. "How about you stay with me for a while?"

Chen Tianwu didn't move, her eyes became sharper.

"Then tell me." She said word by word, "What exactly did you do to us just now?"

Yu Zhe's smile remained the same. "If I say I didn't do anything, would you believe me?"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Chen Tianwu sneered, "From just now, Anna and Marissa's reactions were not right, and I can also feel it..."

Her fingers gently pressed against her lower abdomen through the fabric of her clothes. She felt a strange, swollen, hot sensation there, as if something was slowly spreading within her body. "What did you use on us? Drugs? Hypnosis? Or that shady trick of yours?"

Yu Zhe's gaze lingered on her hand pressing on her abdomen for a moment, then he looked away as if nothing had happened, "I didn't do anything."

Yu Zhe naturally couldn't admit that he had made common sense modifications to Chen Tianwu and the others before.

"You're lying!" Chen Tianwu slammed the table, making the cutlery clink. Her chest heaved violently, and her fair cheeks flushed with anger.

"Don't you think I can't see it? Anna's steps are unsteady when she walks..." Her voice suddenly choked, because a sudden heat rushed from her abdomen to her chest, making her bite her lower lip unconsciously.

"You're overthinking it." Yu Zhe looked at Chen Tianwu. "It's actually not that complicated. This might just be Anna drinking too much last night and staying up late."

"I can't possibly do anything right in front of you, can I?" Yu Zhe suddenly chuckled, his eyes curling slightly, revealing an innocent yet helpless expression. He deliberately leaned forward to shorten the distance between them. "When did you become so suspicious?"

Chen Tianwu's breathing became noticeably more rapid, and she subconsciously leaned back, trying to create some distance.

Chen Tianwu's voice was trembling. She raised her hand and pressed her temple, "But what about my feeling?" After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly became unfocused, as if she had suddenly forgotten what to say.

Yu Zhe took the opportunity to hold Chen Tianwu's hand. "It's just that you're too tired." His voice suddenly became unusually gentle, with a hypnotic rhythm. "Do you want to take a rest?"

Chen Tianwu pulled his hand back abruptly, "No..."

She shook her head vigorously, her long hair scattered messily on her shoulders, "I clearly remember..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Chen Tianwu frowned, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

Yu Zhe's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly regained his concerned expression. He picked up the kettle and slowly poured water into Chen Tianwu's cup. "Drink some water to calm down."

"You are always like this..." Chen Tianwu suddenly looked up, staring at Yu Zhe with sharp eyes, "with such a nonchalant attitude..." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally became almost talking to herself.

"I'm just stating the facts." Yu Zhe shrugged. "If you insist on thinking the worst, there's nothing I can do."

"Okay..." Finally, Chen Tianwu slumped back into her chair, feeling deflated. She rubbed her temples with her hands, her voice filled with fatigue. "I'm tired... I don't want to dwell on this anymore."

She raised her head and forced a smile, "What are you going to do next?"

"Me?" Yu Zhe's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, as if trying to confirm something. Then he thought for a moment, "Probably going for a walk or something. Come and accompany me."

"Yeah." She nodded gently, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Are you sure?" Yu Zhe raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth. "I don't want to force someone who just said 'tired'."

"Stop talking nonsense." Chen Tianwu finally smiled her first genuine smile of the day. It was a faint smile, but it was there. She reached out to gather her scattered hair. "Wait for me to get a coat. And who would invite someone who just said 'I'm tired'?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhe also smiled. Then he noticed that Chen Tianwu stumbled slightly when she walked, and immediately took a half step forward to support her. "Be careful, I don't want our walk to turn into taking you to the hospital."

Chen Tianwu glared at him and said, "You're such a scoundrel."

After putting on their coats, they started walking.

Yu Zhe deliberately slowed down his pace to match Chen Tianwu's. "Where do you want to go?"

"Whatever." Chen Tianwu put his hands in his pockets and looked at the street in the distance. "It's just a walk anyway."

Yu Zhe pointed to the west and said, "Let's go to the commercial street and buy some gifts for your sister. She'll be here soon, and as her brother-in-law, I have to show some appreciation."

Chen Tianwu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said with a deliberately stern face, "Who admitted that you are her brother-in-law?"

Yu Zhe smiled even brighter, reaching out and gently pinching her cheek, "It's only a matter of time."

Chen Tianwu immediately looked up and glared at him, "Don't get too complacent."

"Okay, okay, I got carried away." Yu Zhe said, "But I still have to buy the gift."

Chen Tianwu snorted softly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly. The two of them walked slowly along the sidewalk, the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

When passing by a flower shop, Yu Zhe suddenly stopped and his eyes lit up: "Wait a moment."

"What?" Chen Tianwu looked at him puzzledly. He ran into the flower shop in two steps. Through the glass window, she could see him talking to the clerk, and he turned back and winked at her from time to time.

A few minutes later, Yu Zhe came out holding a large bunch of gorgeous red roses, with crystal water droplets on the petals.

Chen Tianwu was stunned, her cheeks flushed instantly: "Why did you buy flowers all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt like buying something." Yu Zhe handed the bouquet to her, his eyes gentle as water. "It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

"Indeed," Chen Tianwu whispered, her fingertips trembling slightly as she reached out to take the bouquet. She lowered her head to sniff the flowers, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face.

Yu Zhe looked at the tips of her red ears and couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her hair: "Do you like it?"

"It's just so-so." Chen Tianwu said this, but he hugged the bouquet tighter, unable to hide the smile on his face. "Let's buy something practical next time."

"As you wish, my lady." Yu Zhe saluted exaggeratedly, causing Chen Tianwu to burst out laughing. He took the opportunity to take her free hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to pick out a gift for my sister-in-law."

Chen Tianwu did not refute this time, but just said "hmm" softly and let him hold her hand and walk forward.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long.

214 Night Talk with the Herrscher of the Sky

night……

"Knock, knock, knock!" The crisp knocking sound was particularly obvious in the quiet corridor.

Yu Zhe stood outside the door, holding a plastic bag in his left hand, his right hand still in the position of knocking on the door, "Are you there? Can I come in?"

"Come in." A cold and arrogant voice came from the room with a bit of impatience.

Hearing this, Yu Zhe gently pushed open the door. Moonlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling half of the room. At the intersection of light and shadow, the Herrscher of the Void was leaning on the single sofa by the window, his long silver hair gleaming in the moonlight.

She tilted her head slightly, her golden pupils flashing dangerously in the darkness.

"I brought some instant noodles. Do you want to try some?" Yu Zhe shook the plastic bag in his hand, and the plastic made a rustling sound. He deliberately shook the bag loudly, as if teasing a proud cat.

The Herrscher of the Sky wrinkled his delicate nose. "Do you think I'd like that kind of human junk food?"

Yu Zhe smiled nonchalantly, "It's really unfair for you to say that about instant noodles."

He skillfully opened the package and placed the pancake in a bowl. The rising mist blurred his lenses as he poured in hot water. "This is a late-night delicacy."

The Herrscher of the Void watched his movements, her brows slightly furrowed: "You came here in the middle of the night just for this?" There was obvious disgust in her tone, but her eyes unconsciously followed Yu Zhe's movements.

"I came to see you," Yu Zhe said without looking up, his fingers nimbly tearing open the seasoning packet. "How have you been these past few days?"

"Hmph!" The Herrscher of the Sky abruptly turned his face away, his silver hair drawing an arc in the air. "What do you think it will be like? Even if I'm not controlling the body, just watching those things makes me feel sick."

"This idiot is still escaping."

Yu Zhe placed the noodles on the coffee table in front of her, and the steam spread between them. He pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses amusement: "What can we do?"

Yu Zhe naturally sat on the armrest of the sofa next to her. This overly intimate distance made the Herrscher of the Sky's body stiffen for a moment.

He pretended not to notice and continued, "After all, this child's IQ is inversely proportional to the number of people around her. Only by sacrificing someone can her IQ be permanently raised."

The Herrscher of the Sky stared straight at him with her golden eyes: "Are you hinting at something?" Her voice was low and dangerous.

"It was just a joke." Yu Zhe continued with a faint smile on his face, "Besides this? Don't you have any other ideas?"

"What else could I possibly think?" She snorted coldly, her eyes piercing Yu Zhe like knives. "Do you want me to judge you for fooling around with other people every day?"

She suddenly leaned forward, and the faint fragrance lingering in her hair hit my face.

"I don't understand." The Herrscher of the Sky's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Are those people so attractive? Are they worth leaving traces everywhere like a beast in heat?"

Yu Zhe raised his eyebrows and deliberately showed a surprised expression: "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous?" The Herrscher of the Void straightened up suddenly, revealing a sneer. A subtle emotion flickered in his eyes. "I'm jealous of them? How ridiculous. What right do a bunch of meaningless ants have to make me jealous?"

"I'm glad you're not jealous. I was really afraid you'd start a fight with them." Yu Zhe patted his chest exaggeratedly, pretending to be relieved. But then his expression turned serious. "But things aren't as simple as you think."

"They are not ordinary people."

"Let's not talk about Siegfried and Raven. Chen Tianwu and Anna play an important role in my plan."

"Use their bodies to satisfy your evil taste?" The Herrscher of the Void looked at Yu Zhe, "I have smelled your scent in those two people's bodies since this morning." When she said the last few words, she almost gritted her teeth, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.

"It's just satisfying a physiological need." He pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses meaningful. "And don't you think those two people look a lot like you?"

The Herrscher of the Void looked at Yu Zhe: "Where? I don't think I have any similarities with those lower creatures."

Yu Zhe still maintained a leisurely sitting posture, "But the two of them will become Herrschers in the future." He said lightly, but his eyes were observing the reaction of the Herrscher of the Sky.
