Chapter 751: A Great Humiliation
"I'm... no longer pure..."
Shen Anyu stared blankly at the ceiling, two lines of clear tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes. He looked for all the world like a heroine who had been tragically defiled—no, that wasn't quite right.
'I never expected this,'he thought, his mind still reeling.'I never, ever expected Wu Shenyun to be so audacious. To think she would dare... to bully her own master...'
The events of the previous night played back in his mind, leaving him in a state of dazed disbelief. Yet, the faint, slippery sensation that still lingered on his fingertips was undeniably real.
And the system prompts that had flooded his mind were certainly not a fabrication.
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Wu Shenyun's favorability +1. Plundering 3,000 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Wu Shenyun's favorability +1. Plundering 3,000 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Wu Shenyun's favorability +3. Plundering 9,000 Destiny Value!]
...
Before he knew it, Wu Shenyun—the Southern Border Goddess and Master of the Wu Shen Cult—had reached a favorability of ninety-eight. Shen Anyu was still trying to process it. The number had just... inexplicably jumped.
'No, this won't do,'he fumed internally.'To bully one's master and disrespect a superior... How can I possibly tolerate this?'
A cold fury began to simmer within him.
How could he, Shen Anyu, the dignified Great Villain of Destiny and the Young Master of the Shen family, be so thoroughly humiliated by a mere female slave?
Ever since awakening his memories, he had never suffered such a great indignity, such a deep grievance.
He would remember this grudge. He would repay it a hundredfold—no, a thousandfold!
His Divine Sense swept out, locating Wu Shenyun in the lavishly equipped cultivation room, deep in seclusion. Shen Anyu decided not to disturb her for now. He would settle this account later.
She could hide for a day, but she couldn't hide forever.
'The sun is bright today, and the weather is perfect,'he mused, a lazy smile spreading across his handsome face as he gazed at the warm sunlight streaming through the window.'Hmm, I think I'll go for a stroll. Perhaps I'll find Ling Qingcheng and offer her some comfort. I am, after all, a responsible and good man.'Stretching his limbs languidly, he began his preparations. He retrieved the bronze coffin and the various elixirs from Qin Yuan's divine storage ring and transferred them into his own. Qin Yuan's ring had a decent amount of space, roughly a hundred square feet, but Shen Anyu's was over a hundred times larger.'I'll keep Qin Yuan's storage ring for now,'he decided.'I'll see who might be worthy of it later.'
He had no need for a second ring at the moment, and he would have to consider carefully who to bestow it upon. As for the bronze coffin and the Xiantian Spirit Corpse, Yaoyao, sealed within, they were a more complicated matter. The corpse was an incredibly powerful weapon, but unleashing it would immediately attract a terrifying Lightning Tribulation. Even Shen Anyu found the prospect dangerous.
Although he possessed the God-level Steel Body, a Lightning Tribulation didn't just target the physical form.
It was only because he had the supernatural skill, Love Infinite Teleport, that he had dared to venture into the sea of lightning to seal the Xiantian Spirit Corpse in the first place, teleporting away in an instant. Otherwise, being struck by a Golden Core-level Lightning Tribulation was no joke. And the tribulation drawn by Yaoyao was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator by several orders of magnitude.
'Bai Bing hasn't returned yet; she's still in the Main God Reincarnation Space. It seems it isn't the type of system where time in the mission world is just an instant in reality.'
His gaze swept towards Bai Bing's room, finding it empty. There was no sign of her return, which set him to pondering. In his previous life, Shen Anyu had read countless infinite-flow novels. Many involved the real world, but the rules varied. In some, months could pass in a mission world while only an instant ticked by in reality. In others, the time flow was not so exaggerated, with some even having a one-to-one ratio.
Which type had Bai Bing encountered? Shen Anyu couldn't be sure.
But through their master-servant contract, he could sense that she was still alive and her aura was strong. He wasn't worried. Even if Bai Bing were to fall, her soul would return to him as stipulated by their contract.
"The choices are just too difficult..."
Shen Anyu had wandered into the garage of Villa No. 1. He sighed dramatically as he surveyed the rows of luxurious supercars parked before him: a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Bugatti Veyron, a Pagani, and more. The sheer spectacle was enough to make one's eyes dazzle.
"I should keep it low-key."
Being a man accustomed to a low-key lifestyle, he casually selected a Hennessey Venom GT.
The hypercar, produced in limited quantities by W Motors, featured a body made extensively of titanium alloy and carbon fiber. Its design was aggressive, its interior lavish, and its silver-white paint gave it a strong science-fiction aesthetic. Only seven existed in the entire world. Valued at a mere seventy million—not even breaking the hundred-million mark—it was one of the cheapest cars in the garage.
Shen Anyu slid on a pair of sunglasses and settled into the driver's seat, one hand resting on the steering wheel. He stomped on the accelerator. With a deafening roar, the sports car shot forward like a silver dragon, vanishing from the Jinxiu Mountain Villa residential area in a flash.
"Shen Anyu has left, but Wu Shenyun is still there. What should I do?"
Qin Yuan lurked outside the Jinxiu Mountain Villa, his new face twisted into an extremely gloomy expression. He had already found a suitable body and devoured the soul within, taking on the appearance of an ordinary young man. His original body, of course, had been annihilated in the combined assault from Shen Anyu and Wu Shenyun.
From the perimeter of Villa No. 1, Qin Yuan could sense an astonishing aura radiating from within—a presence as mighty as a tiger ready to devour the world. It had to be Wu Shenyun, the Master of the Wu Shen Cult. He could also detect dozens of other powerful auras, a mix of Grandmasters and Masters.
Masters and Grandmasters meant nothing to him; even as a disembodied soul, he could crush them with ease. Such was the confidence of a true Cultivator.
But Wu Shenyun's strength was another matter entirely. It was a genuine problem.
In Qin Yuan's estimation, Shen Anyu couldn't have taken the bronze coffin with him. Since that mortal wasn't a cultivator, he wouldn't know how to use a storage ring. Therefore, the coffin must still be inside Villa No. 1.
'Since Shen Anyu leaves the villa so often, there's my opportunity.'A vicious thought took root in his mind.'If I can't deal with Shen Anyu right now, can't I deal with Wu Shenyun?''Just a Land Immortal,' he scoffed inwardly.'How can she possibly be a match for a Cultivator?''I need to make some preparations. Fortunately, not everything I owned was in that storage ring.''Perhaps... I can also ask for some help...'
Having made up his mind, Qin Yuan let out a few cold, silent sneers and quietly retreated.
Everything that had been taken from him, he would eventually get back from Shen Anyu, with principal and interest. He would reclaim the Xiantian Spirit Corpse, Yaoyao. He absolutely had to.
But what Qin Yuan failed to notice was the ultra-nanobot silently tailing him, a microscopic pursuer so advanced that it was undetectable even to the Divine Sense of a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.
It was a hundred times more concealed than a standard nanobot.
"Qin Yuan is no longer a threat..."
Shen Anyu, miles away in his hypercar, sensed all of this and chuckled lightly. But as he drove, his expression gradually turned serious.
Qin Yuan was indeed no longer to be feared. His greatest trump card, the Xiantian Spirit Corpse Yaoyao, had fallen into Shen Anyu's hands., Shen Anyu had already used a God-level Copy Card to duplicate all of her abilities and past memories.
However, within those copied memories, there was an existence that even Shen Anyu found troublesome.
Jiangbei Master Chen.
According to Qin Yuan's memories, he had crossed paths with Jiangbei Master Chen in his previous life. It was a brief encounter that took place about half a year from the current date.
At that time, Jiangbei Master Chen was already at the Fake Core realm—a level of cultivation almost inconceivable to reach in the mortal world. And given the tendency of a Child of Destiny to fight above their level, Master Chen's Fake Core realm strength was likely comparable to a true Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Jiangbei Master Chen had sought out Qin Yuan for information on how to travel to the Xuanhuang World. Unfortunately, Qin Yuan knew very little himself; the legacy he had inherited contained no such information.
'Too bad,'Shen Anyu thought, a frown creasing his brow.'Master Chen only saw Qin Yuan in his Dao Body form. He couldn't get a clear look at his original appearance, only that he was a vaguely handsome young man. This is tricky...''However, tricky or not, it's a threat I have to deal with.'
Shen Anyu narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
During that fated meeting, Jiangbei Master Chen had a female companion by his side.
And Shen Anyu recognized her. She was very, very familiar.
