"Recently, you two seem to get along very well, always staying together." Emily propped up her chin and suddenly asked Lin Feng out of the blue.
She had spent a lot of effort just to catch the single Lin Feng.
It was not easy to get the other two beast girls out of the way.
Lin Feng pointed to the pitch-black maze and quickly changed the subject: "There are still many, many monsters ahead. By the way, how's your Magic Crystal Bow getting along? Is it easy to use?"
Emily's index finger gently caressed the red ruby embedded in the bow. Her blood-red eyes were still staring straight at Lin Feng.
It was not hard to see that it would probably be very difficult to fool her this time.
"She's not here now, so just tell the truth."
"What truth?" Lin Feng started playing dumb directly.
Although he really wanted to tell the truth, Rosa Linda had wept and implored him to lie many times.
The reason she gave was that at her age, competing with young women for a man made her feel ashamed.
How strange.
"Have you touched her ears and tail? Have you kissed her?"
This girl is too naive, isn't she?
He, Lin Feng, was the king of ten thousand beauties. After such a long time, how could he only have made this little progress?
Ridiculous!
"I held her hand a couple times at most." Lin Feng lied with a straight face.
"Just that?" Emily raised her eyebrows, seemingly incredulous.
"Yes, just to hold her hand, I had to pamper her for a long time! After some more time, I want to touch her ears."
"Pamper? Ew... where did you lick?"
Of course he licked everywhere.
Lin Feng cleared his throat and said seriously, "You're really stupid. That's just a figure of speech, meaning I indulge and coax her."
"Oh... I thought you were actually licking her with your tongue. Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous." Emily waved her hand in disgust.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought Emily would be very difficult to deal with, but surprisingly, she was fooled so easily.
"I've answered your question, you haven't answered mine yet."
"Huh?"
"How's that longbow working out for you? Can you feel the bonus from the ruby?"
These rubies were rewards from the system after completing a quest.
There were only two originally, but wanting to be fair, Lin Feng had a hard time taking them out.
He had sneakily gone to the market to buy another one as a gift for Rosa Linda.
"It's pretty good. I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like I've gotten a bit stronger holding this bow."
"The ruby has a slight effect of increasing strength, it's not your imagination." Lin Feng lightly tugged her rabbit ear.
Her ears were cold now, but after holding them for a while, they would become hot.
"Oh, and I've learned that spell too. I'll show it to you."
"Oh?"
A few sluggish reptiles, as if cooperating with her performance, slowly crawled out from the darkness. Emily immediately raised her longbow.
She chanted the unfinished spell she had yet to fully memorize. The green light particles took a long time to coalesce into an arrow in her hand.
It was a world of difference from the wind pressure arrows Rosa Linda unleashed.
Yet this silly girl still had no self-awareness, holding her head high with satisfaction.
It took great effort just to pierce through the reptiles one by one.
"How's that!" Emily looked excited.
Although it looked stupid, her smiling face begging for praise was really cute.
It was entirely because of the special magical conductivity of the magic crystal ore that she could cast magic at all.
But Lin Feng did not want to discourage her enthusiasm with harsh truths.
There's no harm in spoiling your wife more.
"Not bad." Lin Feng gently squeezed her shoulder as a reward. "But if you can memorize the spell more thoroughly, and focus a bit more, you may be able to do even better."
Emily's eyes lit up, as if injected with chicken blood.
To be honest, her aptitude was very mediocre. Even if she studied magic assiduously, she would probably find it very difficult to achieve great success.
However, Lin Feng did not expect this girl to accomplish anything astonishing. As long as she could live happily, that was enough.
"I'll pay attention." Emily tiptoed and left a kiss on Lin Feng's cheek.
It was not hard to see that she was very happy after being praised.
"Teach me some new spells. I want to learn!"
Lin Feng tapped Emily's forehead and gently said, "Consolidate this spell first. Don't underestimate it just because it's a beginner spell. Used skillfully, it can be very powerful too."
"You're tricking me. Beginner spells sound really weak."
"That's a huge misunderstanding. Beginner spells are characterized by low mana consumption and fast casting. Experienced mages actually prefer using simple beginner spells in combat." Lin Feng knocked her head twice more and continued lecturing, "The 'beginner' label just represents the difficulty to learn the spell, not the power of the spell."
"Ouch... I get it! Don't knock my head again!" Emily covered her forehead and ran away.
At this time, Rosa Linda and Yuna, who were exploring the maze, came back.
"How was it? Did you find any abandoned treasures?" Lin Feng could roughly guess they hadn't found anything.
If Yuna had found something that looked valuable, she would definitely be running over yelling excitedly now.
"No, but we did kill several rare monsters." Rosa Linda's gaze shifted between Lin Feng and Emily. She seemed to have a bellyful of questions to ask. "Come with me for a bit."
After walking a bit further away, she gestured at Lin Feng, then grabbed his hand.
"She deliberately got me out of the way. She didn't ask you anything weird, did she?"
"She did ask."
Rosa Linda's face immediately turned red.
She peeked out and took a glance at Emily, who was still in the distance.
"Don't tell me it was about our progress?"
"Yes."
"I knew it. She asked me too today, but I fooled her." Rosa Linda leaned against the stone wall and sighed softly.
"Just telling the truth would be so much better. She'll find out sooner or later anyway..."
"Let's talk about it later... I'm not ready yet. Saying those words out loud is too difficult." Rosa Linda's cheeks flushed red, puffing up slightly.
How could such a girlish appearance possibly belong to a nearly forty-year-old beast girl?
"Alright, I understand. I won't tell her."
Having gotten the answer she wanted, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rosa Linda bit Lin Feng's neck without warning: "Then thanks in advance for next time too, if she asks again."
"Got it."
At the last moment, Rosa Linda also gave Lin Feng a light kiss, then turned to leave.
Being alone with Lin Feng for too long, she was afraid the other two beast girls would become suspicious...
Shortly after she left, the system's voice appeared in Lin Feng's ears.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
