Ye Chen suddenly grabbed his chest.
"...Ugh."
For so reason.
His heart hurt.
Not physically.
But emotionally.
Like sothing important had just been ripped away from him.
The feeling was so sudden and intense that even Ye Chen himself beca confused.
"...What the hell?"
Sitting in a holding cell, he frowned deeply.
Then slowly muttered to himself:
"Why do I suddenly feel like I lost sothing important...?"
A strange sense of panic started spreading through him.
An image suddenly appeared in his mind.
Shen Tian.
Ling Shuangxue.
A hotel room.
Imdiately, Ye Chen shook his head aggressively.
"No. Impossible. There was no way things had progressed that quickly. Right?’
After all...
Ling Shuangxue was his woman!
She was supposed to fall for him.
Not Shen Tian.
Trying to comfort himself, Ye Chen forced out an awkward laugh.
"...She wouldn’t do that to ."
Then after several seconds.
He weakly repeated it again.
"...Right?"
The more he tried convincing himself.
The more uneasy he felt.
the other n sharing the holding cell slowly glanced at one another awkwardly.
Then back toward Ye Chen.
One bald man quietly whispered:
"...Is this guy okay?"
Another prisoner scratched his beard before shrugging.
"Honestly? I think sothing’s ntally wrong with him."
The bald man nodded seriously.
"Yeah... He’s been talking to himself for like twenty minutes."
Ye Chen remained completely unaware of the judgnt around him.
Instead, he sat there staring blankly at the floor while imagining increasingly horrifying scenarios.
Shen Tian smiling smugly.
Ling Shuangxue blushing.
Hotel room noises.
"NO..."
Ye Chen suddenly grabbed his own hair.
The n nearby imdiately scooted slightly farther away from him.
"...Yep," one muttered quietly.
"Definitely unstable."
. . .
Inside the Ling Family Estate—
Ling Han’s expression looked increasingly ugly as he repeatedly tried calling his daughter.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Yet every single call went unanswered.
His temper completely exploded.
CRASH!
The glass of alcohol in his hand smashed violently against the wall.
"DAMN IT! That ungrateful daughter!"
Nearby, the maid standing silently against the wall visibly trembled in fear while trying desperately to maintain a professional expression.
The study door slowly creaked open.
Qin Ruobing timidly peeked inside.
"D-Dear... Are you alright?"
That only worsened Ling Han’s mood.
"DO I LOOK ALRIGHT?!"
He stord over instantly.
Then grabbed her wrist roughly and yanked her inside.
"AH—!"
Qin Ruobing cried out painfully.
The next second...
Ling Han completely exploded physically.
SMACK!
BAM!
"If you had raised our daughter properly— She wouldn’t ignore like this!"
Another slap landed across Qin Ruobing’s face.
"And she would’ve helped our family’s savior already! Do you even understand how much Ye Chen is suffering right now?!"
Ling Han’s eyes looked completely furious.
Qin Ruobing never fought back.
Not once.
Blood slowly dripped from both her nose and lip while she lay weakly on the ground.
The maid lowered her head completely.
Too terrified to even look directly at the scene.
After venting enough anger.
Ling Han stood up, breathing heavily.
Then disgustingly spat onto his wife.
"Listen carefully. If our daughter doesn’t get Ye Chen released within the next hour... We’re divorcing."
His eyes narrowed coldly.
"Let’s see what your family thinks then."
Qin Ruobing slowly pushed herself up shakily from the floor.
Her entire body trembled.
"O-Of course, dear..."
Then weakly, Qin Ruobing asked:
"But... How can our daughter get him out if even you couldn’t...?"
Ling Han imdiately raised his hand again aggressively.
Qin Ruobing instinctively flinched in terror.
This ti Ling Han stopped himself.
Instead, he walked back toward his desk before sitting down heavily.
Then lazily propped his feet up.
"It’s because the Shen Family got involved."
His tone sounded annoyed saying those words.
"And Shen Tian... That idiot dog-licker for my daughter... He’ll definitely soften if she asks him personally."
Qin Ruobing quietly nodded.
"...I understand. I’ll go speak with her."
Then limping slightly.
She slowly walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Ling Han suddenly snapped his fingers impatiently.
"Lighter."
Imdiately, the terrified maid hurried forward with shaking hands before lighting the cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Ling Han took a long drag.
Then slowly exhaled smoke.
"...Ah, much better."
. . .
[Ding!]
[Host has successfully cucked the protagonist.]
[Ye Chen has lost 500 Fate Value.]
[Remaining Fate Value: 6500]
"...Only 500?"
Shen Tian muttered in disbelief while lazily lying on the bed.
Ling Shuangxue slept peacefully beneath the blankets.
Shen Tian sighed.
"Do I at least get a reward?"
[The Host currently has one unclaid reward.]
Hearing that, Shen Tian instantly smiled.
"Claim it."
The next second.
A blue holographic panel appeared before him.
────────────
[Congratulations, Host.]
[Reward Obtained: Divine-Level Martial Arts.]
────────────
The mont the reward entered his body.
Shen Tian instantly felt a violent change occur.
His muscles tightened.
His tendons strengthened.
Even his breathing rhythm subtly transford.
Yet strangely.
Instead of becoming bulky.
His body actually beca more balanced and refined.
Flexible.
Explosive.
Perfectly optimized for combat.
At the sa ti.
Countless fighting techniques flooded into his mind.
Punches.
Kicks.
Counters.
Joint locks.
Movent techniques.
Weapon disarms.
It felt as though he had spent decades mastering martial arts already.
"...Holy shit."
Shen Tian slowly clenched his fists.
He could physically feel the difference.
Carefully getting out of bed without waking Ling Shuangxue.
He quietly moved toward the open space near the hotel window.
He threw a punch.
SWOOSH.
The sound alone caused his eyes to widen slightly.
Fast.
Ridiculously fast.
Then ca a kick.
Smooth.
Precise.
Powerful enough that Shen Tian genuinely felt like he could kill soone instantly with a clean hit to the head.
And despite the deadly power behind every movent.
He moved with almost complete silence.
"This..."
Shen Tian slowly grinned while throwing another combination.
"This is what I’m talking about."
Ling Shuangxue slowly opened one eye slightly while secretly watching him train.
Her face beca slightly red.
Watching a ridiculously handso man naked while throwing deadly martial arts combinations in a luxury hotel room at midnight...
Was unfairly attractive for so won.
Ling Shuangxue’s eyes glanced down to a certain part of Shen Tian.
’Is his penis doing what they call the helicopter?’
