The Demon City before a storm always seemed exceptionally calm.
A white Maserati stopped at the entrance of Lu Family Manor.
Anya stepped out of the car, her heart filled with trepidation and guilt.
She took a deep breath, her emotions a mix of nervousness about seeing her beloved and a nearly devout determination.
She was ready to offer everything to the man who had "shouldered the world" for her…
At the same time, Jiang Chen, who hadn't followed his eldest sister Anya as usual, was now pestering his third sister Mu Xing, spouting nonsense.
"Sister! I think I've lost interest in music!"
"I still think being an actor seems more interesting! You're filming, can you take me along to have some fun, please?"
Of course, he hadn't truly lost interest in music; rather, he keenly sensed that his eldest sister had completely fallen into the gentle trap of that "scumbag" Lu Cheng, unable to extricate herself.
He had to protect his third sister!
Moreover, although he had previously composed music for his eldest sister, and it had won an award, he hadn't even had a chance to shock anyone because Anya's comment about the "scumbag" had already stolen all the thunder.
No one would care about a genius child composer anymore… He couldn't get any system points from his eldest sister anymore; in fact, he had even lost some…
Mu Xing looked at her brother's pleading expression, feeling an unusual sensation in her heart. Unable to refuse, she could only shake her head helplessly. She couldn't win against him and agreed.
If Lu Cheng had been present, he would have recognized… that Jiang Chen's Charm Aura was at work again!
…
On an ancient tree outside the Lu Family Manor, a figure in a gray Taoist robe lay hidden, completely silent.
Dongfang Yue was in position.
She could clearly sense that Lu Cheng was inside the manor.
But at the same time, she also sensed another familiar aura approaching the manor.
"Big Sister? Why is she here too?"
"No! I must act before she sees that scumbag!"
"I absolutely cannot let her have any chance to soften her heart again!"
She decided to act immediately!
Deal with the scumbag and avenge her eldest sister!
Meanwhile, Anya, led by the butler, entered the main building.
She saw Lu Cheng with his back to her, standing at a table, preparing refreshments for her…
Seeing his broad back, Anya could no longer control the emotions that had accumulated in her heart for so long!
Her eyes instantly reddened.
"Lu Cheng…"
Her voice was thick with sobs and a nasal tone.
"I'm sorry…"
"I… I misunderstood you!"
She poured out all the guilt, heartache, and overflowing love that had filled her heart after learning the so-called "truth"!
"Thank you… thank you for everything you've done for me…"
"I…"
However!
Just as she was about to utter that most important confession!
A chilling, bone-piercing killing intent suddenly broke through the wind from outside the window!
Dongfang Yue had silently infiltrated and appeared outside the room's window sill!
She didn't use any weapons!
She simply aimed at Lu Cheng's back, her cherry lips slightly parted, and blew sharply!
A nearly invisible black airflow shot towards the back of Lu Cheng's neck with terrifying speed!
This was the most venomous Gu worm she had mastered during her two years of cultivation—the Heart-Eating Gu!
Anya hadn't even clearly seen what was happening; she only saw her sister, who had been missing for two years, suddenly appear and make a very strange gesture towards Lu Cheng.
However, the undisguised, chilling killing intent on Dongfang Yue's face still scared her out of her wits, making her let out a short shriek!
"Yue Yue!"
…
Lu Cheng, however, seemed as if nothing had happened, maintaining a calm and unruffled demeanor, not even turning his head.
He simply allowed the black airflow to merge into the skin of his neck, disappearing.
The moment the Heart-Eating Gu entered his body!
His pre-edited script editor silently activated!
This plot full of "killing intent" had already been changed by him in advance.
The plot development remained unchanged, except… the inevitably fatal Heart-Eating Gu used by Dongfang Yue was forcibly twisted and replaced with another kind of… Love-Binding Gu, imbued with "love."
This Gu, once in the body, was not only harmless but could also establish an extremely mysterious "heart-linking" sensation between the caster and the receiver…
After the Gu worm entered his body, Lu Cheng showed no signs of poisoning.
Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, a look of extreme enjoyment on his face?
An indescribable warm current slowly circulated through his limbs and bones.
A more dramatic scene, however, unfolded with Dongfang Yue.
After blowing out what she believed to be a fatal Gu worm, the tragic scene she had envisioned—Lu Cheng bleeding from his seven orifices and collapsing dead—did not occur.
Instead, she saw Lu Cheng's enjoying expression, as if he were soaking in a hot spring!
And her own body!
A warmth she had never felt before suddenly surged through her!
She felt as if something inexplicable was added to her body… Her face even flushed with an abnormally alluring rosy hue, uncontrollably!
Only then did Lu Cheng turn around, looking at the flushed, utterly bewildered Dongfang Yue, and gave her a knowing look.
This plunged Dongfang Yue into self-doubt… He didn't expose her, but simply quietly enjoyed her disheveled appearance, letting her comprehend this cruel reality herself…
Dongfang Yue was completely stunned.
She had no idea what she had unleashed.
"Impossible, how could it be wrong?"
"I've been preparing for so long!"
Anya, meanwhile, immediately rushed over, embracing her and crying, recounting the recent events.
After listening to her sister's "guilt-filled" narration, Dongfang Yue, although still suspicious of Lu Cheng's actions… seeing Lu Cheng's expression and the extremely strange sensation in her own body, finally understood!
It seemed… she had cast the wrong Gu?
And it was the legendary Love-Binding Gu, which was only used when facing one's beloved?!
She thought she was going to act on behalf of heaven to eliminate a scumbag.
Instead, she went to "give a gift"?
And the gift was the "Love-Binding Gu," something that, just by its name, was extremely ambiguous?
She had even "nourished" herself, making her whole body feel hot and her face flush, almost… This double loss of control, both physically and mentally, and the huge contrast, made her Taoist heart begin to waver at this moment…
It also made her completely unable to lift her head in front of Lu Cheng.
She was completely and utterly in his grasp.
