Shawn Young had no idea how long he’d slept. As he groggily woke up and moved his head, he felt a soft, springy sensation beneath him, along with a familiar scent. Then, he heard Lilian Grace’s voice right by his ear: “Oh! You’re finally awake. Your head is so heavy! My legs are about to go numb—”
Shawn was startled, suddenly remembering that he’d been using Lilian Grace’s thighs as a pillow. Hearing her gentle complaint, he silently cursed himself for being selfish—he’d enjoyed himself without considering how long she’d been his human pillow.
He quickly scrambled up from the sofa, saw Lilian Grace looking at him, and hurriedly apologized: “Oh—Lilian, I’m sorry. I was just so tired before—I made you—”
“Oh! It’s fine—as a reward for helping Aunt Vivian and Yvonne, I won’t blame you! By the way, you’re actually pretty well-behaved when you sleep, hehe—” Lilian Grace said, rubbing her aching thighs. Her fair, beautiful legs swayed back and forth, making Shawn’s mouth go dry just watching.
Shawn glanced around, saw no one else nearby, and immediately leaned closer to Lilian Grace with a cheeky grin: “Are you uncomfortable? Let me give you a massage, okay?”
“Get lost! I just said you were well-behaved, and now you’re back to your pervy ways the moment you wake up! You’re so bad—” Lilian Grace teased, rolling her eyes at him.
Seeing her shy, beautiful expression, Shawn couldn’t help himself. He plopped down beside her, scooted closer, and whispered like a pig rooting for cabbage: “Come on! I just mastered a new massage technique, guaranteed to make you feel good—”
“Ah—You’re so bad! Go away, Aunt Vivian and Yvonne are coming down any minute.” Lilian Grace quickly pushed Shawn away.
Shawn quickly asked, “Oh, where are the mother and daughter?”
"They've already showered and gone to bed! But they woke up a bit earlier than you did, came downstairs and saw you still asleep. Aunt Vivian went to make lotus seed soup for you, and Yvonne went to change clothes. It should be ready soon!" Lilian said, her voice full of cheerful energy.
"Hehe, it's already done and still hot. Yvonne's in the kitchen serving it up right now, she'll bring it down for you guys in a sec!" Vivian's voice echoed from upstairs, sounding warm and motherly.
Shawn looked up and saw Aunt Vivian slowly making her way down the stairs, dressed in a striking red, low-cut qipao. Her tall, slender figure, shapely shoulders, and perky hips were on full display, making her look absolutely irresistible. The side slit showed off her flawless, creamy thighs, and she wore elegant white leather heels. Her glossy black hair was pinned up, revealing her graceful neck. The mature charm she radiated was something no young girl could match—Vivian was like a blazing flame, drawing Shawn’s eyes and stirring up a fire inside him. He clenched his legs together, feeling his body react, and gulped hard.
"Wow—Aunt Vivian, you look absolutely stunning today!" Lilian couldn’t help but gush.
"Oh, come on—I’m getting old! How could I possibly compare to a fresh, young beauty like you, Lilian?" Vivian sat down beside Lilian, her smile a little shy. Her gorgeous phoenix eyes sneaked a glance at Shawn, and when she saw his lovestruck, goofy face, she couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted.
Just then, footsteps echoed from upstairs, and a graceful figure appeared at the top of the stairs. Shawn looked up and saw Yvonne, still in her flowing white dress, her long hair cascading down, carrying a steaming tray of lotus seed soup. Her cheeks were noticeably rosier now. When she caught Shawn’s gaze, Yvonne flashed him a sweet, dazzling smile—her cool, aloof vibe had melted away, and she looked as radiant as a goddess stepping out of a painting. Shawn’s heart skipped a beat; he knew Yvonne rarely smiled at men, but today, she smiled at him. Heh, that meant she really liked him—and that’s always the best start.
Shawn noticed that after most of the curse had been expelled from Yvonne and Vivian, both their spirits and temperaments had changed—Yvonne seemed more lively, and Vivian looked younger than ever. The mother and daughter now looked more like sisters. Clearly, his efforts hadn’t been wasted; he’d helped this knockout mother-daughter pair regain their vitality!
"Come on, try my mom’s lotus seed soup—it’s absolutely delicious!" Yvonne brought over several steaming bowls and sat right next to Shawn. A gentle, sweet fragrance wafted his way—her unique scent was different from Lilian’s, but just as intoxicating. That’s the special magic of a virginal beauty.
Yvonne handed Shawn a bowl herself, giggling softly. "Here, give it a taste—careful, it’s hot!"
Shawn quickly took the bowl and tried it with a porcelain spoon. The mix of goji berries, red dates, snow fungus, and lotus seeds was fragrant and sweet, with a lingering aftertaste—truly amazing. He couldn’t help but polish off the whole bowl in one go.
Yvonne laughed, "Hehe, I told you it was good! Here, have some more!" As she spoke, she scooped another bowl for Shawn, watching him eat with a soft, loving smile—the kind of look a wife gives her beloved husband.
Lilian watched from the side, a wave of jealousy washing over her. She put down her own bowl and said, "Oh, my stomach’s not feeling so great. I think I’ll skip dessert."
"Are you okay, Lilian? Want to rest for a bit?" Vivian asked, her voice full of concern.
"I’m fine. Uh—it’s getting late, I think I’ll head back to campus," Lilian said, sounding a bit down.
"Wait for me, Lilian! I’ll go back to school with you!" Yvonne piped up eagerly.
"Hold on, don’t rush off yet. I need to break the evil array in the villa first, then I’ll go back to school with you guys!" Shawn jumped in confidently.
"Oh! But Shawn, don’t you still need to keep massaging Aunt Vivian and Yvonne to clear out the curse completely?" Lilian asked, her eyes wide.
"Yeah, that’s right! The blood link of the Soul-Stealing Mother-Daughter Curse is already broken, so I can take my time with the massage to clear out the rest of the poison. Right now, I’ve got to break the Five Vicious Hidden Snake Poison Array in the villa, otherwise the bad feng shui will keep causing trouble! If I don’t break it soon, disaster will keep striking. Plus, the mastermind behind all this is about to show his true colors! Hu Wanli will get hit by the backlash from the array too! Heh—even if the law can’t punish him, he’s definitely in for a world of pain!" Shawn said with a wicked grin.
