During this time, Su Ruoxue was abroad, Gong Jiaojiao took leave for urgent family matters, and Lilian Grace hadn't shown up—she only sent Shawn occasional flirty texts, her intentions always ambiguous. As for Shawn Young, he was basically running over to Raina Tang’s place every night.
Ever since Shawn tasted the wonders of women, he was hooked. Every night, he and Raina Tang tangled in wild passion, with Raina constantly inventing new tricks that left Shawn pleasantly "surprised." They’d go a few rounds of steamy action, then practice the Twin Spirit Rite, finally falling asleep in each other's arms. The Twin Spirit Rite worked its magic—Raina Tang became even more radiant and alluring, her skin smoother and softer than ever, her curves more tempting. She truly was the definition of "juicy and delicious"—their nightly battles were so intense, she’d end up breathless and drenched, soaking the sheets so often she had to buy several new sets just to keep up.
Shawn was also reaping the benefits of the Twin Spirit Rite. With the pure yang energy of the Glass King Serpent fully merged into his body, this mystical practice suited him far better than any other method recorded in the Codex of Ascension. After dual cultivation, yin and yang harmonized, and Shawn’s powers steadily increased. He felt more energetic and dashing by the day, his looks and aura growing more striking. Walking around Southern University, he was starting to turn a lot of heads—especially among the ladies.
This made Shawn even more excited—and more determined to keep chasing beauties. The Twin Spirit Rite had a special shortcut: by absorbing the pure yin of a virgin during dual cultivation, his powers would skyrocket. After the battle with the Blackblood Sewer Fiend, Shawn realized how crucial it was to be strong, so he was desperate to level up.
After a few days of carefree bliss, Raina Tang suddenly rushed out of Nanming City. The reason? A major gas leak and explosion at a provincial coal mine had left many injured. The entire medical system was mobilized, so Raina, as a nurse, joined the hospital’s emergency team and headed to the site—it was her duty, after all.
With Raina gone, Shawn was left without a "target." He could only chat online with Rainie Cheng in Hong Kong to ease his lovesick heart. After two days without a woman’s touch, Shawn found himself listless, unable to get excited about anything. Only now did he realize just how badly he needed female company.
Soon enough, the weekend rolled around. After class, Shawn returned to the dorm, only to watch his three animal roommates rush to shower, change, and dig out their stashed condoms. With wicked grins, they dashed out the door, eager to get laid.
Shawn, meanwhile, was still without a target and feeling pretty glum. Just as he was pondering which beauty to pursue, his phone rang—it was Lilian Grace, the campus queen herself! Instantly, Shawn perked up. Lilian had only been sending him flirty texts lately, never calling or showing up in person. Now that she’d reached out, tonight was looking promising.
Just thinking about Lilian Grace’s stunning looks and her past "special services" had Shawn itching with excitement. He calmed himself, then eagerly answered the call, trying his best to sound gentle: "Hey—it’s Shawn Young. Lilian, you called me?"
On the other end of the line, Lilian Grace’s voice came through, a mix of urgency and embarrassed annoyance: “Uh—Shawn, you—you need to come to the back gate right now. I’m waiting for you outside the ‘Jiaozi’ mini-mart—hurry up!”
“What’s up? Did something happen?” Shawn could tell from her voice that something was off.
“Uh—ugh, I can’t explain it all over the phone. Just come out and help me, okay?” Lilian sounded genuinely anxious.
“Oh! Okay! I’m heading out now, wait for me—” Shawn quickly changed into the outfit Rainie Cheng had gifted him, checked himself in the mirror, decided he looked “so handsome he could shock the government,” and dashed out of the dorm.
Shawn soon arrived at the commercial street by the university’s back gate. It was dusk, the lights were coming on, and since it was dinner time, the whole street was even busier than usual—students everywhere, youthful faces everywhere, the place was buzzing.
Shawn hurried toward the ‘Jiaozi’ mini-mart at the prime spot by the intersection. The store was famous for its wide range of women’s products—affordable, good quality, and popular among Southern University students, so Shawn knew exactly where it was.
Around the intersection, the crowds were even thicker. When Shawn got there, he saw a big group gathered outside the ‘Jiaozi’ mini-mart—looked like something interesting was happening.
Shawn squeezed through the crowd and finally saw the scene: parked outside the mini-mart was a brand-new, stylish red Ferrari convertible. Next to it stood a tall, handsome young man with long, “artistic” hair, dressed in Italian Prada casual wear, holding a bouquet of fiery red roses. He was smiling at Lilian Grace, who looked both shy and embarrassed, saying something Shawn couldn’t hear.

But Lilian Grace wasn’t paying him much attention. Her cheeks were red as she frowned at her phone, while the young man kept trying to impress her, even offering her the bouquet. Lilian clearly wasn’t interested—she blushed and kept shaking her head, refusing to take the flowers.
Damn—so this guy’s trying to steal my girl! Hang in there, Lilian, I’m coming to rescue you! Shawn instantly understood the situation. Still, he felt pretty pleased—when Lilian Grace ran into trouble, she thought of him to play the “knight in shining armor.” That meant he held a special place in her heart.
Seeing the young man offering roses, some busybodies in the crowd started cheering, “Wow, beauty, just take them! That guy’s obviously loaded, you two look perfect together—what are you waiting for?”
“Ugh, she’s only a tiny bit prettier and taller than me, but my boobs are way bigger! Why, oh why doesn’t Young Master Ling go for me?! Am I not sexy enough? I can’t take it anymore!” wailed a girl standing next to Shawn, her voice full of jealousy and frustration. Shawn glanced at her and nearly jumped—yep, she was a classic “dinosaur” with a huge chest.
Noticing Shawn “seriously” checking her out, the dinosaur’s eyes lit up and she quickly changed tactics: “Hey there, handsome, don’t you feel like we’ve met before? Maybe we should slip away somewhere private and discuss life and dreams together, hmm?” She batted her eyes at Shawn, practically throwing sparks.
Shawn felt his scalp tingle from her flirting and hurriedly waved her off, “Uh, gorgeous, you’re overthinking it. I really don’t know you, I don’t feel that connection, and honestly, you’re way out of my league. I’ve got stuff to do, so… bye!” With that, he squeezed into the crowd, heading straight for Lilian Grace.
“Hey, don’t rush off, handsome! I just fell for you at first sight, and I’ve finally decided to give up on Young Master Ling. I think you and I have real potential! Come on, you know I’m a beauty—we could start fresh!” the dinosaur called after him, sounding heartbroken.
Oh crap—the star of Jurassic Park is chasing me! Shawn broke out in a cold sweat and dove deeper into the crowd, making a beeline for the ‘Jiaozi’ mini-mart.
Lilian, what are you doing here? What’s so urgent? Is something wrong? Uh—who’s this guy, and what does he want?” Shawn called out loudly as he strode over to Lilian Grace.
Lilian turned to see him, her embarrassed face lighting up with delight. She let out a sigh of relief, then naturally slipped her arm through his, teasing, “Took you long enough! Now you see the trouble I was talking about—this guy trying to give me roses is Ling Jieming, the rich heir from Xixiang Jewelry. He’s a classic trust fund prince! See the situation now? Don’t you get that your girlfriend’s in trouble?”
