Chapter Thirty-One: Chu Ying’s Special Significance to Chu Hengyang

Chu Hengyang’s face twisted in horror. He never imagined that Lin Xiaoyue, the simple-minded girl rescued by Liu Shuang’er, would appear under his own bedsheets.

She appeared to be completely unclothed.

What made him feel even more embarrassed and humiliated was that this compromising scene with Lin Xiaoyue had been witnessed in its entirety by Chu Ying.

The darkness in Chu Hengyang’s heart instantly surged into a savage frenzy.

*This foolish girl has ruined my image in my little sister’s eyes. I must kill her!*

Chu Hengyang recalled the moments prior, as if he had been bewitched, unaware of his own identity or location, lost in a trance and drawn solely to Lin Xiaoyue. He remembered the sweet, clinging calls of "Brother" and the memory of him rushing to her side, desperately grabbing her hands to inhale her scent.

The violence in his heart intensified.

*I will kill her! I will shatter every bone in her body and leave her as nothing but a pile of broken fragments wrapped in her own skin!*

The grim, brutal expression on Chu Hengyang’s face and the undisguised murderous intent in his eyes struck a primal terror into the depths of Lin Xiaoyue’s soul.

She shivered, trembling with fear. "G97, what is going on? Didn't you say this ancient man was just a doddering old schoolteacher?"

"Host," G97 replied coldly, "the system cannot determine why your primary target differs from the intelligence gathered."

Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth in fury. "Then you should at least be able to investigate why my 'Alluring Scent' skill suddenly stopped working on him!"

G97 was silent for a moment before replying, "Host, according to our analysis, your 'Alluring Scent' item has not expired; it is still active and functioning."

"Then why, when this ancient man’s sister arrived, did he become indifferent to me and act so enraged?!" Lin Xiaoyue listened to the buzzing system notifications in her mind—*Chu Hengyang’s favorability rating -1, -1, -1*—and felt a fire of rage burning in her chest. "He’s frantically deducting my favorability points!"

Her favorability rating had already dropped to -79 due to the interference of this man’s sister. Thanks to the "Alluring Scent" skill, she had finally managed to pull it back up, nearly reaching -30, and was on the verge of turning it into a positive number.

But the moment the sister appeared and called him "Big Brother," not only was he no longer attracted to her "Alluring Scent," but because of this sister, he was crazily deducting her favorability points again!

"Brother... what’s wrong?" Lin Xiaoyue was unwilling to give up. She blinked her watery, wide eyes at him, sitting up in bed to expose her upper body.

*Hmph!*

*No matter what happens, I must conquer him today!*

*Isn't he insecure because he’s afraid to touch the person he loves, thinking he is lowly and dirty?*

*Even if I can’t make him sink into desire for me, I will make him look at my body until he feels filthy!*

*I will make it so he never dares to be with the one he truly loves again!*

"Bang!"

As Lin Xiaoyue rose, before the quilt could even slide from her body, her slender throat was gripped tightly by Chu Hengyang. He slammed her back down against the wooden bed frame.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with nothing but violent, destructive light. The veins on the back of his hands bulged as he choked her.

Lin Xiaoyue’s head throbbed with intense pain, but the suffocating sensation in her throat forced her to frantically beat against Chu Hengyang’s hands
