Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Reaching the door of a closed restroom, Ling Yun gently knocked: "Sister Xia Lan?"

The door opened, and Xia Lan glanced outside in a flustered manner. Seeing that no one was there, she took Ling Yun's hand and went inside.

Chapter 5 Drunk

"Sister Xia Lan, what do you think of Brother Wei?"

Ling Yun pressed his finger against her chin, and Xia Lan slowly raised her head to look at him.

“Look at his cowardly appearance, it’s truly a blessing he earned in three lifetimes that I married him.”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xia Lan's tone, Ling Yun guessed what was going on.

That devastating viral disaster gradually spread across the globe, reducing not only women's fertility but also men's. Although men weren't significantly affected, the cunning and treacherous Japanese have dragged down the performance of men worldwide to their own level or even lower.

This makes it difficult for the woman to conceive in what was originally a happy family.

But Ling Yun himself was unaffected, which puzzled him. Could it be that he was being favored?

Although he didn't know what was going on between Xia Lan and Wei Dahai, based on his speculation, Wei Dahai, being such a coward, was probably nothing special.

Hearing Ling Yun mention Wei Dahai, Xia Lan pursed her lips, even though she had no feelings for him.

She might have really had enough of him, but she was still his wife in name only, and Wei Dahai hadn't gone looking for other women... although with his useless appearance, no other woman would be interested in him anyway.

Xia Lan looked somewhat conflicted, but she quickly convinced herself.

After thinking it all through, Xia Lan took a deep breath and stood up. She took Ling Yun's hand and led him to the sink next to her.

She looked at Ling Yun carefully, as if she were treating him as a precious treasure.

"Sister Xia Lan, do you really not know anything?"

Ling Yun asked the question with a puzzled look, while Xia Lan blushed deeply: "Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't had that experience..."

"Ok."

Ling Yun was speechless.

Xia Lan felt a little embarrassed, and the two of them stayed in the restroom for another ten minutes or so.

"What should we do..." Xia Lan glanced at the time and realized that almost half an hour had passed since the two of them came in. She couldn't help but get anxious. "Ling Yun, should we go out first?"

"All right!"

Ling Yun was also helpless; he just didn't feel anything.

He held Xia Lan close, whispered in her ear in a devilish tone, "Sister Xia Lan, I'll come to your house later."

"I……"

Before Xia Lan could refuse, he continued, "Don't forget, your husband's promotion depends on my word. Madam, you wouldn't want your husband to miss out on the promotion, would you?"

Xia Lan fell silent. Putting aside the fact that she had no feelings for Wei Dahai, if Wei Dahai got promoted, his salary would definitely increase, and their lives would improve.

But, if I actually go to their house...

She looked up at Ling Yun and saw that the man was just smiling at her, his eyes carrying an unquestionable air.

She knew Ling Yun's family background. Although she didn't aspire to be his wife, she would be happy even if it meant going from humble beginnings to stardom. Besides, Ling Yun seemed to have never been in a relationship before, so she figured he would likely receive quite a good treatment.

More importantly, even without any conflict of interest, she liked Ling Yun very much.

"Um……"

A barely audible sound came from her mouth. Ling Yun placed his hand under her chin and kissed her cheek.

"Let's go out first."

He straightened his clothes, opened the door and glanced inside. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he went out first and closed the door.

Coincidentally, just as he arrived, the waiter was shaking the sleeping Wei Dahai.

Wei Dahai was drunk and his speech was slurred. Ling Yun immediately came to his rescue and paid the bill.

"Thank... thank you Ling, Ling..."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to thank me. One drink and you're already like this!" Ling Yun put an arm around his shoulder and let him lean on her as they slowly walked out.

There's no need for Wei Dahai to thank him.

Xia Lan hurriedly straightened her clothes and came over, but she didn't help Wei Dahai with his other arm; her petite frame wasn't up to the task.

Of course, you can't expect Wei Dahai to drive; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get home, he'd probably be heading straight back to his hometown.

Ling Yun tossed him into the back seat and got into the driver's seat himself. With his current physical condition, that small amount of alcohol would have been metabolized long ago and wouldn't be detectable.

He thought Xia Lan would sit in the back with him, but she actually got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

Chapter 6 Xia Lan's Home

The car was parked downstairs at the apartment building. Ling Yun asked Xia Lan to move the car, while he carried Wei Dahai upstairs.

He had just pretended to be struggling in front of outsiders, but in reality, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary people; winning a weightlifting award would be a piece of cake. His combat strength rating was only E-, simply because he hadn't learned any fighting techniques and only knew brute force.

He easily lifted Wei Dahai up and carried him up to the third floor in one breath, placing him at the doorway.

Wei Dahai sat on the ground, muttering something under his breath.

Ling Yun moved away from him in disgust; the stench of alcohol was simply too unpleasant. Wei Dahai wasn't Su Qingya, so she had no reason to take good care of him.

It was late at night, and the only sound in the corridor was the sound of Xia Lan's shoes on the stairs.

She had left in a hurry, and was slightly out of breath. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, clinging to her hair and making it look a little damp.

After opening the door, Ling Yun carried Wei Dahai into the living room like a dead pig. Xia Lan didn't even have time to get him slippers; she quickly went to the bedroom door and opened it.

Ling Yun tossed him onto the bed. Seeing that Wei Dahai hadn't even taken off his shoes, he tried to signal Xia Lan with his eyes, but she turned and walked out directly.

"Aren't you afraid your shoes will get the bed dirty?"

After closing the door, Lingyun chuckled and took her small hand.

"Anyway, it's not my bed that's dirty. He'll kick it off himself in the middle of the night. It's always like this."

Ling Yun noticed the key detail, turned to look at the door in surprise, then turned back to look at her: "You two are sleeping in separate beds?"

“I didn’t sleep with him on the first day I moved in.”

Xia Lan took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table. She sat down on the soft sofa and said quietly, "Even through the wall, I can hear him snoring in the middle of the night. If we really slept together, it would be so noisy."

It's normal for couples to sleep in separate beds; no one can stand snoring or teeth grinding.

Ling Yun opened his drink, took a sip, sat down next to her, and pulled her into his arms: "But I think Brother Wei treats you quite well too, right?"

"He's just like that. We used to argue all the time. He seems very well-behaved in public, right? But he's actually hit me before..."

"Domestic violence?" Ling Yun's guilt towards Wei Dahai slowly dissipated as he looked down at Xia Lan, whose face was filled with sorrow.

“Arguments are common. He’s hit me a few times. The worst time was before you even arrived. We even called the police. When they came, they could only try to smooth things over. I didn’t have any obvious injuries, so they couldn’t arrest me directly… I’ve had enough of this kind of life.”

Why didn't you tell me?

"After you arrived, he knew that Chairman Su was his superior's superior, so naturally he had to fawn over him and act like a good guy. Pshaw, that good-for-nothing..."

Ling Yun chuckled. He knew that Wei Dahai was being nice to him because he wanted to curry favor with him, but he hadn't expected the man to be so hypocritical.

However, this has nothing to do with his plan to get intimate with Xia Lan. Anyway, he is already the "big villain". Even if Wei Dahai is a saintly good person, he will still do what he should do.

"Let's take a shower first." Xia Lan silently broke free, stood up, and went back to her room to get two dry towels.

……

Wow, you have a great body! I never noticed before. You must really love working out, right?

"good."

Even without systematic training, my body has always been well-built since childhood. My muscles aren't large, bulky masses, but rather exceptionally coordinated, exhibiting a streamlined beauty, somewhat like an ancient Greek sculpture.

Seeing that Ling Yun was also staring at her, Xia Lan tilted her head slightly to one side and asked with a hint of shyness, "Is it pretty?"

Ling Yun was somewhat mesmerized. After all, he was a young man who had never eaten pork before, and even if he was full of youthful vigor, this was his first time doing it.

"nice."

He hugged Xia Lan from behind and kissed her ear.

"Sister Xia Lan, since you have no feelings for him anymore, why are you still willing to do this for him and me?"

Xia Lan looked up at his face and said softly, "I'm willing because I like you, not because of him. Ling Yun, I hope you don't misunderstand. I've never had any feelings for him."

Chapter 9, First "Protagonist"

"what is that!"

Wei Dahai pushed open Xia Lan's door and roared angrily.

"What? What?!" Xia Lan felt inexplicably guilty, but she kept a cold face and suppressed her emotions.

"Why are there other men's clothes on the balcony?!"

"Oh, you mean this?" Xia Lan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Remembering Ling Yun's instructions before he left last night, she said naturally, "Ling Yun carried you up last night and you even threw up all over him. So I had him change his clothes and put them in a basket to wash them for him. What, do you want to confront him face to face? You can call him."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dahai's expression changed, and he quickly put on a slightly obsequious smile: "Ah, it's Young Master Ling... Oh, really, I drank too much last night... I won't go and tell him, please apologize to him!"

"Anything else?"

"That's all, that's all. You rest, I'm going out for a walk!"

Wei Daguan closed the door, feeling much better, and hummed a little tune as he went out.

Seeing that he had left, Xia Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"This little rascal insisted on leaving his clothes behind so I could hang them out to dry... Is he really that possessive?"

Seemingly recalling her experience last night, Xia Lan couldn't help but touch her rosy cheeks.

Meanwhile, Lingyun had already arrived at school. Today was Sunday; besides picking up books, there were two meetings, and then school officially started tomorrow.

There are only about 40 students in the class, all majoring in economics or related fields.

Ling Yunxue's simple learning was at Su Qingya's request, but originally he was just drifting through life, but now he has other ideas.

He glanced at the tattoo on his wrist that was visible only to him, and gently stroked it with his hand.

[Master, you achieved a "first time" achievement last night, rewarding you with enhanced abilities! Last night you successfully spent a romantic night with a beautiful woman who scored 92 points, rewarding you with three subordinates in black. Their combat strength is all E+, at the level of special forces, responsible for your daily security. They have been deployed around you and can be summoned at any time!]

He didn't rush to claim the reward last night, but waited until he had some free time the next day to receive it.

Enhanced abilities? Ha, I'm already pretty strong, okay? Is there anything else I can improve?

As if guessing what he was thinking, Xiaona's voice echoed in his ears again.

[Master, your ability to sustain combat has been improved! Do you prefer to fight for half a day, or be able to fight continuously without exhaustion?]

"Is there even a choice? It's definitely the latter!"

[After last night's testing and analysis, we've addressed your shortcomings. We wish you continued success on your future journey!]

Ling Yun frowned. Is this really the Villain Plundering System? It feels more like some kind of shady system!

As for the men in black... He looked around, but saw nothing. However, what Xiao Na said was probably true. They might be hiding their identities and appear inconspicuous, but they were protecting him at all times.

"Ugh, it's so heavy!"

When a tall, voluptuous, and beautiful girl walked into the classroom carrying books, Lingyun could clearly feel the boys around her breathing quicken.

She had long, blonde hair and a remarkably beautiful face; even without makeup, she could easily outshine those heavily photoshopped female streamers. But what was most captivating about her was her stunning figure. She wore a JK uniform, the short skirt revealing her long, shapely legs—not to show off, but specifically for someone else.

"What are you looking at!"

A male student carrying a large bag of books quickly followed her in. He was of average appearance, had a buzz cut, and deliberately wore a short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his physique, showing off his bulging biceps.

As soon as he spoke, the other boys immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him at all.

The girl rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and walked over to Ling Yun, sitting down next to him: "Ling Yun, shall we go to that Japanese restaurant across from the school tonight?"

"Okay, you can arrange it." Ling Yun smiled at her and also used the query on her.
