"You?" Ryan Ling looked absolutely crushed.
But before he could finish his sentence, Tina Tian’s cheeks were already flushed. She whispered, "Don’t blame him, he’s just looking out for me. But I won’t force you!"
"You—you heard me talking to the Ghost Elder?" Ryan froze, his face turning pale.
Tina Tian nodded, her face growing even redder.
"How is that possible?" Ryan quickly looked over at the System.
"I told you ages ago, her body’s overflowing with spiritual energy—that’s why she gets this illness. And that energy is actually a kind of yin energy, so she’s always had a knack for communicating with spirits. Just now I cranked up that ability, so she overheard!" The System steadied itself, then added, "But let me be clear—I didn’t use any mind tricks. Everything was totally voluntary on her part!"
"Ms. Tian, you really want to do this with me?" Ryan swallowed, thinking about how soaked Tina had looked. If he said he didn’t feel anything, he’d be lying—but she was so traditional, and she was his teacher. He’d never even dared to imagine it.
"Ryan, chastity means a lot to me. The Tian Family is all about scholarship and tradition—I was raised to take it super seriously. But this illness is torture. I’ve tried everything and nothing works. Now that there’s a chance, I have to try, no matter what. Besides, you saved me. Consider this my way of repaying you." Tina spoke with total clarity—she’d really thought it through.
"But our relationship..." Ryan was so flustered by what Tina said that he couldn’t help glancing down at her.
"Don’t overthink it—it’s all for treating the illness. And actually, I just graduated from Normal University, so I’m not much older than you. Just think of me as your big girlfriend, and I’ll think of you as my little boyfriend. That way we’ll both feel way less pressure, okay?" As she spoke, Tina reached out her hand to Ryan, so proactive it was obvious she’d made up her mind.
"Ryan, what are you waiting for? Ms. Tian already said it herself—just help her out! Think of this as something totally sacred and noble. Honestly, it’s a major event for the continuation of human civilization, so quit overthinking and don’t make it dirty!" Seeing Ryan still hesitate, the System was spinning in circles with anxiety.
Ryan shot him a fierce glare. How could anyone spin it like that? Even Tina Tian couldn’t help but laugh.
"O-okay, as long as Ms. Tian doesn’t feel taken advantage of!" Ryan swallowed hard, grabbed Tina’s hand, and suddenly felt a wave of heat rush through his body. He realized Tina was already feeling it too, and judging by the way she swallowed, she was more than ready for a man’s affection.
"See that, Ryan? This is when her spiritual energy is at its peak—that’s why she’s acting like this. Hurry up and get moving, while she’s still fresh and juicy!" The System finished, then gave Ryan a shove, sending him stumbling right on top of Tina.
Tina blushed and quickly turned her head away, mumbling, "Ryan, I just have one tiny request. When we’re doing it, could you ask that old guy to leave? I—I really don’t want anyone watching my first time!"
"Old man, you heard her, right? Don’t even think about peeking—just get out!" Ryan snorted at the System.
"Kicking me to the curb, huh? Not even letting me watch! Fine, I’ll go, but for the record, I’m not old—I’m still young!" The System huffed angrily.
"Alright, grandpa, just go already!" Ryan hurried him along.
"Please, just leave! I’m begging you—I really don’t want anyone supervising my first time!" Tina was just speechless at this point.
The System’s face turned purple with rage, then stormed off in a huff.
"Ryan, come on, I’m totally a rookie at this—you’ll have to teach me!" Tina Tian said, hugging Ryan tight.
"Don’t worry, tonight I’ll be the professor. First, open your mouth..." Ryan said, and their hot lips met right away.
......
Meanwhile, as Ryan was passionately treating Tina Tian’s illness, far away in West City, the Ling Family was busy plotting how to deal with him.
"Damn, that little bastard really soared to the top! He’s so strong now—one punch and Scarface exploded! Looks like he’s at least a Grandmaster, and not just any Grandmaster!"
"That whole family’s always been trash. Ever since those two died, Ryan’s been a total orphan—I almost forgot he even existed. Who knew he’d show up in Jinling after all these years, and not only is his kung fu legit, he’s actually a student at Jinling University! What a surprise!"
"That brat used to be scared of his own shadow, hiding at home all day. Now he’s gotten clever, huh? Next time I see him, I’ll stomp that little shit to death!"
......
Right now, Peter Ling’s kids and cronies were chatting away, but Peter himself, face dark as iron, suddenly shouted, "Enough with the useless talk! We need real solutions! Look at what happened to Jing’er—he has to pay for this!"
"That’s easy—just send someone to beat him up!" a burly man chimed in right away.
"Just beating him up is pointless, and besides, he’s now a student at Jinling University. After that recent scandal, a lot of people are watching him. I suspect he’s got some powerful backing, and if we attack him for no reason, it’ll hurt our family’s reputation!" The young man with gold-rimmed glasses waved his hand to object. Although the Ling Family paid to settle the incident, Peter Ling was detained overnight, and Jing was implicated in gang activity. This has definitely affected our goal of rising to high society, so now isn’t the time for reckless revenge.
Old Zhou is right. Beating him up won’t work, and it’s not enough to save face anymore. We need a better plan—one that crushes his arrogance and helps our family climb the social ladder! Peter Ling paused, considering.
The young man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up and said, "I’ve got a clever idea. Given our family’s current status, connections, and wealth in Jinling, we’re basically a high-class family. But we’re missing a title, a bit of noble heritage, and the recognition of other elites. So, we should hold an ancestral memorial ceremony to establish our reputation in Jinling and gain acceptance from high society. At such a ceremony, since Ryan shares our surname, he’ll have to attend. Then we can punish him with family law—the charges are ours to decide, and no outsider would dare object!"
"Old Zhou’s idea is brilliant! We’ll invite the Tan Family, the Xu Family, and our friends in politics and the military. How could that brat act tough then? Even if he’s got some background now, I’ll crush him back to nothing and show him that as long as he’s a Ling, he’ll have to obey me like a dog!" Peter Ling clapped his hands in agreement.
"Exactly, this is what we’re missing. Outsiders think we’re just nouveau riche—we need to honor our ancestors and put on a show. And at the ceremony, we’ll display Ryan’s parents’ memorial tablets and tell him that if he doesn’t show up, their tablets will be kicked out of the Ling Family!" another man added.
"Damn, it’s a ruthless move, but it guarantees he’ll come. Once he’s here, what can a poor student who just arrived in Jinling do—even if he’s reached Purple Realm Grandmaster, we can crush him! He’ll have to wait until his next life to get revenge!" Peter Ling smiled smugly, clearly satisfied with the plan.
The spring night quietly passed, and Ryan and Tina’s affair was a success. Tina was nervous and inexperienced during her first time, needing Ryan’s help, but by the second and third times she became more confident. As a teacher, she learned quickly, and by the end she was in complete control, reaching her feminine peak.
Apparently influenced by the System’s words, the last time Tina insisted on using her mouth—and swallowed everything, leaving Ryan nearly overwhelmed with pleasure.
After their passionate night, Ryan suddenly received a message from an unknown WeChat account. It was a photo: his parents’ memorial tablets placed next to a toilet.
There was a message attached: "One week from now, the Ling Family will hold an ancestral memorial ceremony. If you don’t come, your parents’ tablets go straight into the toilet…"
