Chapter 135: Body Uncontrollable, Consciousness Unusually Clear?

“.”

As the coolness of the emerald ring settled in my hand, a flood of information rushed into Yan Huan’s mind.

【To reduce exposure risk, this ring has a delayed activation feature.】

【After contacting the modifier host with this ring, you can choose to activate it immediately or delay the effect.】

【The maximum delay time is 30 minutes. After the time limit, the ring must be used again to contact the modifier host.】

【1. Timing starts counting from the moment of silence activation; 2. This ring cannot be seen by the modifier host or other mortals.】

Yan Huan blinked, tightened his grip on the ring, and raised his gaze toward the demon in front of him, a shiver running down his spine.

This thing is definitely a good item, but to give such a precious thing right at the start—

It made Yan Huan suspect that the other goods sold by this demon would surely come at a steep price.

So, he blinked again and asked, “What else do you have for sale? Can I see?”

“Creepy~”

The black-robed demon let out a ghastly chuckle, and from within its robe emerged two orbs of light exuding an eerie glow.

【Five Elements Magic Eye】

【Price: At least one of any of your vital organs.】

【Twice a day, each lasting 15 minutes, allowing your line of sight to reach areas obscured by visible matter.】

【Additionally, depending on the organ you pay with, your magic eye will gain a special ability against a specific modifier.】

“.”

Staring at the text displayed above, Yan Huan couldn’t help but swallow hard.

He then turned his head to look at another item being sold by a different demon.

【Incomplete Finger Amulet】

【Price: Kiss Ye Shiyu, then within 5 minutes after that kiss, kiss another person of the opposite sex for thirty seconds in front of her.】

【Wearing the finger amulet, you will be completely immune to effects from other modifiers, and any fragments from the modifier obtained through any source will double.】

【However, whether or not you wear the amulet, Ye Shiyu’s modifier will have an inexorable 100% penetration capacity against you.】

“.”

Yan Huan looked at the two floating glows before him, the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

Clearly, neither option was good news—totally stuck.

Especially the second one; it felt like after payment, he would be under Ye Shiyu’s relentless control, completely entering a defeated scenario.

Did this thing’s price still seem tailored for me?!

The bad news was: the items sold by the demon were a scam, and not buying for a period would force a debuff.

The good news was: it handed him a decent initial gift, and it even restocked items every week, as long as he purchased at least once within two weeks.

How should I put it—

It’s a double-edged sword; at least it’s better than a teleportation spell that could drop me into various wilderness areas?

Yan Huan reassured himself like this internally.

He didn’t choose to refresh the demon shop’s inventory right away; instead, he decided to return to reality first.

As the thought crossed his mind, the surrounding dark ocean began to slowly retract toward the demon.

At the same time, the damp, distorted voice of the demon echoed,

“Silently repeat ‘Demon Shop’ three times to re-enter.”

“Ha ha ha.”

After stepping out of the demon’s shop, Yan Huan stared blankly at the emerald ring now in his hand.

With a thought, the ring bizarrely vanished from view.

Calling for it in his mind again, the ring instantly reappeared in his hand.

“Isn’t this amazing?”

“Meow?”

Beside him, Meow-chan curiously looked at the ring and was about to ask when Yan Huan excitedly scooped her up,

“Meow-chan, this time you’ve finally become a little useful! Just a few more strokes of luck, and you can shake off the title of useless Hakimi!”

“Meow?!”

In Yan Huan’s embrace, Meow-chan was still muddled, completely unaware of what role she played in all this.

Well, since Yan Huan praised her, it must mean she’s genuinely useful, right?

Thinking this, she proudly displayed her newfound confidence.

Though she didn’t do anything at all, she still worked hard.jpg

“Alright, the weekly variety show has ended; time to sleep.”

“Meow~”

Yan Huan tucked away the ring, stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and took off his shirt, preparing to sleep.

Meow-chan followed suit, bouncing ahead of him to jump onto the bed.

As soon as Yan Huan pulled back the covers, she burrowed right in.

By the time Yan Huan lay down and intended to turn off the lights, she was already comfortably nestled on his warm, rising abdomen, yawning away.

“Goodnight, Meow-chan.”

“Meow~”

Another week passed just like that.

Monday, noon.

The remnants of the rainy day still lingered, leaving jagged dark clouds in the sky outside.

From the holes in the clouds, faint egg-shaped beams of light leaked through, thickening the prelude of an uncertain weather, creating a sight that caused sighs instead of joy.

“What terrible weather.”

Yan Huan had been staring at the sky for a while, finally letting out this verdict.

He stood in a corner of Far Moon Academy, in a circular glass structure filled with various greenery around him.

Surrounded by various plants, there were many potted plants tagged with names and times next to the freshly turned soil.

Yan Huan held a watering can, looking at a wilting pink flower in front of him, dejected.

The pot of the rose displayed its ownership and name:

“Class A, Year 1, 47th Session, Yan Huan, Rose.”

“.”

Just as Yan Huan was about to pour a bit more water onto the drooping rose, faint calling voices wafted in from outside the glass house.

“Miss Spencer! Are you around?”

“Come out, don’t hide!”

“Miss Spencer!”

Peeking through the gaps in the plants, Yan Huan caught a glimpse of several men in black suits with Golden Lion Group badges frantically calling out.

He ignored them and turned back to continue watering.

As he turned, a pair of clear, sky-blue eyes suddenly met his gaze.

Yan Huan blinked, just about to speak when the owner of those eyes showed a flustered expression and hurriedly stretched out her hand, trying to cover his mouth.

“Smack!”

Fortunately, Yan Huan easily grabbed her advancing right hand, stopping it in its tracks.

Of course, it was Spencer.

“Shh!!”

Though she didn’t cover Yan Huan’s mouth, that didn’t stop Spencer from hurriedly putting her finger to her lips, frantically shushing him.

After confirming Yan Huan wouldn’t betray their position, she cautiously glanced outside.

Squatting down beside Yan Huan, she hid among the greenery.

“Miss Spencer—”

As the shouts of those men moved further away, Spencer finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Finally gone! How annoying.”

Yan Huan shot her a side glance and asked, “Did your family find out you bought comics?”

“Hah? No way!”

Spencer instinctively wanted to refute, but her tone softened as she continued, “They sent people to evaluate my academic performance or something; basically, in case I drop out, they can help me find another school.”

“Why, not confident about winning the Club Battle?”

Hearing Yan Huan say this, Spencer huffed dismissively, crossing her arms while lifting her nose.

“I said ‘if’! Do you know what that means?!”

“Sure, I thought you backed down after losing to Owen earlier.”

At Yan Huan’s remark, Spencer’s expression suddenly looked a bit guilty.

In the second round, only eight specific clubs would compete for the championship, and the rules would change.

The likelihood of participating in events related to club activities would rise to about sixty percent.

Meanwhile, there were quite a few athletic events.

Moreover, due to the Comic Club’s activities being disqualified, the chances of drawing athletic-related events were very high.

When she competed with Owen, Spencer had indeed given it her all but still couldn’t outrun him.

If Spencer couldn’t outrun the Athletics Club president, the other members of the Comic Club would surely be no match for the trained athletes.

This meant that, without hijacking others, it would indeed be hard for the Comic Club to defeat the Athletics Club.

As this thought crossed her mind, Spencer glanced at Yan Huan beside her and recalled what he said earlier.

“.”

After a brief silence, she clenched her fists, revealing her signature tiger tooth smile, filled with self-confidence.

“No worries! An Le has devised a special training plan for us! Once we master those athletic skills, we’ll win!”

“.”

Stop setting flags, will you?

Usually, someone who says something like this will next be seen getting swiftly taken down.

However—

This girl actually wasn’t thinking about snatching others’ achievements for victory?

Seeing her silly grin, Yan Huan felt a bit surprised.

Thus, he sincerely said to her, “Good luck.”

“By the way, what are you doing here?”

Spencer, squatting nearby, shifted closer to Yan Huan, peering curiously at the watering can he was holding.

“Watering flowers.”

“Watering flowers?”

“Ah.”

Yan Huan glanced around at the greenery, explaining, “This used to be the Greenery Club’s flower house, but ever since the last few seniors graduated, no one has joined the Greenery Club again.

“So this place was returned to the school and converted into a public space, which is now maintained by the Student Council.”

Spencer curiously turned her head, examining the plethora of plants sporting name tags. Upon a glance, most were indeed left by past seniors.

Many belonged to students who were still in school, with the least conspicuous being the poor, wilted rose right in front of Yan Huan.

Turning back, Spencer looked at Yan Huan, innocently asking, “Why are all the flowers people raise so beautiful, while yours is so limp?”

Hearing this, Yan Huan’s face darkened instantly as he retorted, “While others completed Angry Birds in elementary school, you’re still stuck in the middle in high school!”

Upon hearing this, Spencer’s face flushed, and she flailed her arms, trying to explain.

“I-I completed it before! It’s just that I switched phones, so the save data… got lost, yeah, that’s it!”

“Ha ha.”

Yan Huan couldn’t be bothered to point out her face, which blatantly wrote “lying,” and just turned his attention back to the rose.

Unlike the stubborn Spencer, he admitted:

He truly couldn’t keep this flower alive.

But it wasn’t because his skills were lacking or he didn’t care; mainly, this rose seemed to have a grudge against him.

No matter how he raised it each time, it always looked like it was about to die.

He had even tried video calling experienced seniors from the Greenery Club to guide him remotely.

The attempts still yielded the same result; it never flourished, lasting only a short while, leaving the experienced seniors baffled.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Yan Huan’s face, Spencer couldn’t hold back her smile.

It seemed that she was pleased to see him struggle after his constant nagging earlier and wanted to mock him.

“Yan Huan, didn’t expect you to fail at such a simple task, tsk tsk~”

“Ha ha, you do it then.”

At his words, Spencer’s smile stiffened slightly.

She had no experience growing potted plants at all.

She kept herself alive solely through junk food like potato chips—she couldn’t substitute potted plants with cola and chips, right?

But this idiot Spencer was still stubborn.

With her hands on her hips, her smile was both confident and a bit forced, exuding an adorably awkward charm.

“Humph! I’ll do it! Believe it or not, I’ll definitely take care of this—what’s it called again?”

“Rose.”

“Right, the rose!”

“Ha ha.”

Yan Huan scoffed. He’d rather believe that this girl would give up on her modifier than actually take care of the rose well.

“Rattle rattle~”

At that moment, a rustling sound came from behind the greenery.

Spencer’s ears perked up, and she immediately turned around to shout, “Who’s there? Come out!!”

The next second, after her shout, two figures stumbled out from the bush.

The first to catch the eye was You Anli Na, holding a brand-new camera.

Behind her was a girl in a black long skirt school uniform, looking a bit shy.

The girl’s face was pale, clearly not in great spirits, with evident dark circles under her eyes.

“It’s me, Spencer!”

Just as she finished scanning them with her eyes, Spencer suddenly saw You Anli Na and the other girl morph into two small, pig-like silhouettes.

“Huh?”

Hearing the sound, Yan Huan also turned to look.

He recognized the girl following You Anli Na; on her uniform’s chest hung a school badge resembling a qilin’s head.

Clearly, she wasn’t a Far Moon student.

Instead, she came from another prestigious school renowned in Linyi Gate: Xiuzhi Academy.

After taking in the view, Yan Huan asked You Anli Na, “You Anli Na, who’s this?”

“Hello, President Yan Huan, I’m Jiang Nuan Nuan from Xiuzhi Academy.”

The girl blushed slightly as she looked at Yan Huan, shyly introducing herself.

“Hehe, Nuan Nuan is my middle school classmate; she’s my good friend.”

“.”

With so many points to ponder, Yan Huan momentarily struggled to process everything.

For instance, why wasn’t Jiang Nuan Nuan attending class on this Monday that should be for lessons, but instead showed up at Far Moon Academy?

And what on earth were they doing sneaking about with a camera?

“What are you two doing here?”

Unexpectedly, it was Spencer who stepped in for Yan Huan, asking.

Upon hearing Spencer’s query, You Anli Na giggled, crossing her arms.

“Since you genuinely asked—”

She paused for a moment, glancing at Jiang Nuan Nuan beside her.

Realizing something, Jiang Nuan Nuan’s face turned even redder.

But hesitating for a second, she decided to step up and say, “Then, we’ll generously tell you.”

“Hah?”

Spencer glared at the two, then shot a glance at Yan Huan, pointing at them as she said, “Are they idiots?”

“.And you still dare to call others that?!”

Yan Huan shot a glare at Spencer, who returned a pouty glare in defiance.

Meanwhile, You Anli Na smiled mischievously at Yan Huan and said, “Actually, we’re here to seek refuge.”

“.Why is everyone here seeking refuge? Are you also going to get expelled?”

“No, no! Nuan Nuan is here to help me uncover who the president truly likes! We’ve just discovered some key evidence!”

You Anli Na looked at Yan Huan, whose face was twitching, and whispered, “Actually, President, you like senior Ye Shiyu, right?”

“.”

Hearing this, Yan Huan almost instantly wanted to roast this idiot You Anli Na with flames.

Spencer blinked, glancing at Yan Huan. “President, just admit it, is it?”

In the next instant, both Yan Huan and Spencer spoke,

“Not.”

“Is!”

Yan Huan turned back to Spencer, and she responded with a cheeky grimace.

“Before that, how did you guys come to think I like Shiyu?”

“Because we just discovered key evidence!!”

You Anli Na raised her index finger, smiling at Yan Huan.

“Right now, Senior Ye is probably plotting to confess to you!”

“Confess?”

Yan Huan blinked, while Jiang Nuan Nuan nodded and explained, “Mainly, just now, we saw that Ye Shiyu looked really troubled.

“Her face was slightly flushed, holding a doll that You Anli Na said had your name on it, muttering to herself while counting on her fingers.”

Spencer thoughtfully stroked her chin, providing a serious analysis, “Muttering to herself, huh?”

“Yeah, saying things like ‘Maybe I should try approaching Xiao Huan’ and ‘No way, Mom wouldn’t agree to it.’”

You Anli Na’s eyes brightened slightly, a hint of gossip glowing within, “Aha! A forbidden romance between a step-sibling! Parental opposition! The enmity of noble families… Hehe, I can smell the sour scent of love, President~”

“.”

While everyone else appeared to be analyzing thoroughly, the only one swallowing hard was Yan Huan, sensing the impending disaster.

This didn’t seem like a forbidden romance among nobles at all—

This was the countdown to a hypnotic disaster!!

Yan Huan’s expression turned stiff as he couldn’t help but ask, “Did she say anything else?”

“Eh? As expected, the president is also experiencing youthful passions!”

You Anli Na chuckled, shaking her head, “Unfortunately, while we were listening in, she discovered us eavesdropping!”

“Exactly! At that moment, the expression on Senior Ye Shiyu’s face was terrifying! Thank goodness she didn’t see our faces,” Jiang Nuan Nuan explained.

Despite this, You Anli Na waved dismissively and said, “Ah, it’s normal for someone to feel shy after their secret crush is discovered.”

“.”

They’re still talking about shyness?

You believe she absolutely intended to stab you both, didn’t you?

Lucky for you two that your bodies understood the instinct of self-preservation better than your souls, allowing you to flee at that moment.

Had you not escaped, you might have been brutally controlled by Ye Shiyu.

But—

Why did Ye Shiyu start acting strange again?

Previously, Ye Auntie Ye Tiandi’s suppression had clearly been effective; otherwise, You Anli Na wouldn’t have overheard her in such distress.

So, there might have been some variable that compelled her rising desire?

Yan Huan didn’t know, but he couldn’t help but recall that day when she inexplicably declared war on Spencer.

“Tap tap tap.”

While Yan Huan had a storm of thoughts brewing within, an indistinct sound of footsteps drifted from outside the greenery house.

“Whew~”

Once again, let’s stress—the weather was terrible today.

Thus, the howling winds outside battered against the glass, the noise particularly jarring.

It created a sense of oppressive tension, as if a storm was brewing.

Yan Huan blinked; Spencer’s expression slightly darkened, and Jiang Nuan Nuan’s face also paled.

Only You Anli Na, the idiot, remained giggling.

Yan Huan looked outside, squinting and could vaguely see a tall, icy figure from the gap between the plants.

It was Ye Shiyu.

Jiang Nuan Nuan glanced outside and quickly covered You Anli Na’s mouth, preventing her from making a sound.

Feeling the chilling aura from outside the room, Spencer wasn’t frightened at all; instead, she appeared spirited.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to jump to her feet, radiating a vibe of “I don’t care about life or death; bring it on!”

Yan Huan cast her a side-eye, quickly reaching for her mouth to shush her.

But this time, it was Spencer who easily grasped Yan Huan’s hand.

“Hey~”

She chuckled, leaving Yan Huan speechless, who then urgently whispered, “Shh~”

Outside the greenery house, Ye Shiyu gripped her phone, the shadows on the ground resembling a reaper brandishing a scythe, menacingly ominous.

Her face wore a blank expression as she scanned the surroundings, her lips murmuring faintly,

“Where did they run off to?”

“.”

Nonetheless, aside from the whistling winds, there was no response.

She couldn’t help but sneak another glance at her phone, the interface displaying the hypnotic app was glaringly clear.

【The mission to ambush Spencer has been completed.】

【Congratulations, you have received the following reward: Unlock special hypnosis ability.】

【Special Hypnosis Ability: Coercive Hypnosis.】

【Once a week, lasting for 20 minutes each time; the usage method is consistent with conventional hypnosis, but can only be released through your phone screen.】

【The target will retain awareness but not have control over their body, which will obey your commands unconditionally.】

【Once the effect wears off, the target will completely forget the memories of the time, with rationalization for the memory loss.】

Ye Shiyu gazed at the newly acquired hypnosis ability, her heart subtly stirring.

She couldn’t help but fantasize about what expression Yan Huan would have if she slowly claimed him while maintaining his usual demeanor.

He’d definitely feel sad; he’d surely be angry, right?

But if she made him feel good, would he between them gradually obey and show other more depraved expressions?

And more importantly, once it ended, he would forget everything.

Simply.

Too convenient.

What was even more tempting was another interface that emerged after adjusting the app.

【Mission Theme: Yan Huan.】

【Successfully use the special hypnosis ability on Yan Huan to have him, retaining full awareness, say ‘comfortable’ to complete.】

【Upon success, you will receive extensive additional rewards.】

“.”

So-called “having the tools leads to murderous intent.”

Having such a convenient tool and this kind of fully rewarding mission—

Only a divine being could remain indifferent.

After all, Ye Shiyu was completely unable to resist.

But she was indeed hesitant.

She remembered what her mother had said that day; she also understood the right thing to do, but—

She just couldn’t help herself.

It was like knowing that if things continued down this path, her body wouldn’t be able to take it anymore; still, upon seeing the suggestive images or a specific string of codes sent by friends, her little head dominated over the big head.

Yet afterward, entering that moment of regret was immensely painful.

Desire truly is humanity’s greatest enemy.

“.”

Ye Shiyu clenched her phone, staring at the grim sky, unable to help but murmur,

“What should I do, mother—

“Xiao Huan.”

Outside, Ye Shiyu’s murmur could clearly be heard in the flower house.

Jiang Nuan Nuan was so scared she didn’t dare to move, while You Anli Na quietly chuckled at Yan Huan.

Yan Huan expressionlessly responded, while beside him, Spencer blinked, looking over at him.

Yan Huan also looked at her, into her sky-blue eyes.

“.”
