nAs the small commotion died down, Leng Yan and Leng Mei gracefully made their exit. Zhang Wei watched them leave with a sense of suspicion gnawing at his mind.
nLeng Yan had generously offered to create a new identity for Feng Xinyue, and Zhang Wei couldnât help but wonder how she had such powerful connections in the capital.
nHe was certain that if he could get a hold of these two women, Song and Lin families would become nothing more than ants to him. With a desire to control an existing empire rather than building one of his own, Zhang Wei had his sights set high.
nThankfully, the next process was made easier with Leng Yanâs help. As she had already interfered, no more formalities were needed. The orphanage only accepted children up to the age of fourteen, after which they had to leave and fend for themselves.
nLeng Yan proposed an arrangement in which they wouldnât have to officially adopt Feng Xinyue but could simply take her away. She was going to arrange for an identification claiming that Feng Xinyue was over fourteen, which was the same arrangement suggested by Song Hu.
nNow that Feng Xinyue was legally above fourteen, she could no longer stay at the orphanage, and Zhang Wei was free to take her away without any paperwork. However, Leng Yan would never have left a young girl in Zhang Weiâs care if it werenât for Yu Leiâs assurance. She still needed to dig more into Zhang Weiâs past and existence.
nAs they said their goodbyes, Leng Mei invited them to their home, but Yu Lei politely declined, stating that they werenât yet familiar enough with each other. Leng Mei pouted like a young girl as she drove away.
nAfter they had left, suspicion crept into Yu Leiâs eyes as she whispered, âAre you sure she is Officer Leng Yanâs mother?â
nZhang Wei chuckled, acknowledging that without the ability to see her age, he would have doubted it too. Leng Yan and Leng Mei looked like sisters, with Leng Yan appearing older and Leng Mei younger.
nZhang Weiâs car had been delivered to the buildingâs parking lot, so they hailed a cab to go home. However, another problem arose when little Nizi refused to sit alone with Yu Lei in the back seat. Eventually, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei had to sit in the back, while Feng Xinyue happily sat on Zhang Weiâs lap, gazing out the window.
nThe driver awkwardly chuckled in an attempt to ease the tension, but it only added fuel to the fire. Yu Lei glanced at Zhang Wei and smiled, âShe seems too attached to you, did you do something to her?â
nThe question had been bothering her for too long. She suspected that Zhang Wei might have been coming to the orphanage daily, and today was not his first visit.
nAs Yu Leiâs eyes formed into a crescent moon shape, she thought about her lovely husband. She never knew Zhang Wei had a hidden caring side.
nZhang Wei wanted to clear Yu Leiâs misunderstandings unfortunately his inner demons were in a fierce battle.
nHis mind was too clouded to think straight, and he felt like he was suffocating.
nâEh?â
nFeng Xinyue turned to look at him in confusion, feeling a sudden poke against her bottom. Her large, innocent eyes blinked at him, but Zhang Wei could only laugh wryly and point outside, distracting her.
nAs she turned her head, her silky silver hair brushed against his face, and Zhang Wei found himself taking in a mouthful of her fragrance. He felt his consciousness slipping away, and if there was no one around, he might have pounced on her without a second thought.
nThis little nizi charms were far more frightening than he thought.
nHost, itâs nothing. If she were in her adult form, you might as well get hypnotized by her mere sight. You are forgetting she is the Celestial Princess of the Divine Realm. You canât compare her to mortal women.
nThe systemâs explanation caused some mental damage to Zhang Wei
nHe felt a sudden jolt of anxiety as the systemâs explanation sank in. Was it suggesting that he would lose himself at the sight of any woman, let alone one as powerful and alluring as the celestial princess? His pride and confidence took a hit, and he couldnât help but feel a bit insulted.
nâUnderestimating me, are you?â he muttered to himself, feeling the need to prove his own strength and control. But deep down, he knew that the system was right â he had already been captivated by the celestial princessâs beauty and charm.
nIt wasnât entirely Zhang Weiâs fault.
nHe had unwittingly placed himself on the maximum difficulty level by diving headfirst into the situation, rather than taking a more measured and progressive approach.
nHowever, despite the daunting circumstances, he was still managing to hold his own.
nIn fact, one could argue that he was performing much better than expected.
nIf it werenât for the powerful illusion cast around Feng Xinyue, she wouldnât be able to roam so freely and manipulate those around her.
nBut unfortunately for her, the illusion didnât work on Zhang Wei and he was able to see her beauty in full glory.
nRight then, Zhang Weiâs eyes inadvertently drifted downwards and he caught sight of Feng Xinyueâs breasts. They were larger than he expected for someone her age and were only partially covered, leaving some of her pale, milky skin exposed.
nZhang Weiâs mind immediately began to race with thoughts about the size of her breasts if she were to revert to her normal form. He couldnât help but feel a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. His gaze was glued to her chest, his breathing shallow and erratic.
nâDamn,â he muttered under his breath as he sucked in a sharp breath. The sight of her ample bosom was having an unexpected effect on him. He tried to look away, but found it difficult to tear his eyes from her body.
nHe couldnât even begin to imagine how much bigger they might be in her true form. The thought made the blood rush to his lower half and he instantly forced himself to focus on something else.
nHost, you should focus on increasing your cultivation if you want to better resist her.
nZhang Wei nodded in agreement, realizing the truth in the systemâs words. He knew that if he wanted to stand a chance against powerful opponents like Feng Xinyue and Leng Yan, he needed to improve his cultivation.
nThe first thing he would do tonight was to explore the system more thoroughly and start cultivating.
nIt was good to be arrogant, but arrogance alone wouldnât get him far. He needed strength to back it up.
nHe was still seething with anger at Leng Yan for humiliating him earlier, and he was determined to get his revenge against her.
nHe also vowed to make Feng Xinyue pay for her torture today.
nYu Lei would be leaving for work in the morning, leaving Zhang Wei with plenty of time to plan and execute his revenge against Feng Xinyue.
nThe thought of teaching her a lesson filled him with a sense of satisfaction, and he found himself in a much better mood.
nTaking a deep breath, he began to think about his future plans and how he could achieve his goals.
nThe unsuspecting Feng Xinyue had no inkling that she would soon fall prey to Zhang Weiâs scheme of revenge the next day.
