Ryan Ling couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at Angie Chen and heard her tone.
Angie Chen really was a knockout, with that electric vibe right down to her bones—a mix of high-class and wild. Scoring a girl like her was the ultimate win for any guy. Ryan couldn't help but remember her in a bikini, and suddenly his whole body felt way too hot.
Now, the two of them were alone in the room—no one would dare interrupt. It was the perfect setup for something spicy. Plus, after all that cultivation, Ryan still had a burning fire inside him that he couldn't shake off.
With a bombshell like this showing up right when he needed to cool off, even Ryan Ling was starting to lose his grip.
But even though Ryan Ling was feeling the heat, he wasn't the type to just go with the flow. He quickly said, "Thanks for the food, but you can go now!"
"No way!" Angie Chen waved her hands. "The Wang Family put this together special for you, as an apology. They said I have to watch you eat it myself or they won't be able to sleep!"
"What a hassle!" Ryan Ling muttered, unable to think of a good excuse to kick her out.
Just then, Angie Chen suddenly grabbed Ryan Ling's right arm, her voice pleading: "Master Ling, please, let me stay! I promise I'll take good care of you, really!"
Ryan Ling almost had a nosebleed—since Angie Chen wasn't wearing a bra, her chest was completely exposed, making his heart pound even harder.
But what really surprised him was that, the moment Angie Chen touched his arm, a cool, soothing energy suddenly flowed into his body, making him feel way more comfortable.
Suddenly, the Netherworld aura-absorption card Ryan Ling had been given started to tremble, slowly sucking in a faint stream of energy—from Angie Chen—straight into his body.
What the heck is going on?
Ryan Ling always thought this card was mysterious and would be super useful, but why was it suddenly reacting to Angie Chen? While he was still puzzled, the System piped up in his head.
Kid, you lucked out—Angie Chen's got a Yin-Maiden Constitution!
Yin-Maiden? What's a Yin-Maiden? Ryan Ling was totally lost.
A Yin-Maiden Constitution is a super rare fate. Angie Chen must've been born in a yin year, month, day, and hour. Her aura is a game-changer for cultivating the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Art. You really hit the jackpot!
Whenever he thought about the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Art, Ryan Ling got annoyed—he'd tried so many times to get lucky with Sophie Su, but always got blocked by this technique. Reaching the fifth level felt like a pipe dream. But now, hearing the System's words, he was pumped. He quickly asked, "So what's so special about it?"
Put it this way: Yin-Maiden aura is a super strong catalyst. Normally, training one level of the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Art takes half a year, but with her aura, maybe just a month. If you collect enough, you can even trade it for Merit Points—serious profit, right? What do you think?
No way, that's awesome! Ryan Ling was shocked—he never expected Angie Chen to be so valuable. He quickly asked, "So how do I collect it?"
The best way is to, um, sleep with a Yin-Maiden... The System finished, and Ryan Ling just about lost it.
Right then, Angie Chen was gazing at him with big, dreamy eyes. Ryan Ling's sudden reaction startled her. She quickly asked, "Master Ling, what's wrong?"
Angie Chen kept inching closer!
The System giggled, "Kid, this girl is really into you. If you sleep with a Yin-Maiden, her aura will protect you down there—nothing bad will happen. Go for it!"
Try my ass! Ryan Ling scooted away and nervously swallowed, then said to Angie Chen, "Miss Chen, could you please sit on the other side?"
As soon as she heard that, Angie Chen's face fell—she looked like she'd just suffered the worst heartbreak ever. Two big tears rolled down her cheeks.
What's wrong? I didn't bully you, did I? Ryan Ling was totally baffled.
You did bully me! I've never liked a boy before, never worn a bikini for anyone but you, never dressed up as a maid just for you. What else do you want from me? Am I not pretty enough? Is my temper too bad, too spoiled? I can change all of that, just please accept me—let me have your children!
Pfft! Ryan Ling almost coughed up blood—Angie Chen was dead serious!
After saying that, Angie Chen threw herself into Ryan Ling's arms—her soft body, sweet perfume, and killer curves almost made him lose his last shred of self-control.
And to make things worse, the System inside him was still egging him on, cheering for Ryan Ling to go for it!
Ryan Ling felt like this was the toughest test of his life. Angie Chen had totally ditched her principles—and even her shame. Right in front of him, she started stripping, and she'd barely been wearing anything to begin with. Ryan Ling couldn't even bring himself to look straight at her.
But just then, the image of Sophie Su flashed through his mind. She was the real goddess he liked—he couldn't give in now. He had to hold the line, or else things would get way too messy with Angie Chen.
That's enough, Miss Chen—show some self-respect! Ryan Ling steeled himself and shoved Angie Chen away. She couldn't handle the push and landed right on her butt, not sure if it hurt or if she was just heartbroken—either way, she burst into tears.
Outside, all the rich folks knew Angie Chen had wheeled the food cart in—and everyone knew why. Sure, she was bringing Ryan Ling some food, but mostly she was serving herself up, hoping he'd forgive the Wang Family.

Suddenly, a loud, miserable crying echoed from inside. The rich kids outside all tensed up, especially those with fists clenched tight—they figured Ryan Ling must've taken Angie Chen's virginity.
Angie Chen might've been spoiled and bratty, but she was famous for guarding her chastity. Nobody dared touch her, so everyone guessed she was one of the few real virgins among the rich girls—which is why she had so many admirers.
But hearing that heartbreaking sobbing, they all knew their goddess had lost her first time. Right then, it was like their dads had died—their hearts were shattered.
Back in the cabin, Ryan Ling felt bad seeing Angie Chen cry like that. He knew he'd been too rough, so he quickly got up and tried to help her. "Miss Chen, sorry I was too forceful. Let me help you up!"
No way... Angie Chen huffed, wiping her tears. "I don't want you to help me—I want you to carry me! If you don't, I'll just stay here forever!"
Ryan Ling was speechless. He'd never dealt with such a bold girl before, so he just picked her up.
Wait a sec—don't call me Miss Chen anymore. Call me Angie! Angie Chen insisted.
Fine, Angie, you win! Just get up already. Ryan Ling finally set her down on the edge of the bed.
Angie Chen smiled, instantly cheering up, while Ryan Ling just felt overwhelmed. She was like sticky taffy—hard to shake off, but if she disappeared, he'd miss her. Still, if he got too close, he'd lose control sooner or later.
System, you said the best way is to sleep with her, but is there any other way? Ryan Ling asked, suddenly inspired.
There are other ways—just getting close, touching her, or kissing her will let you absorb some. It's just not as strong!
Ryan Ling steadied himself. This was way more reasonable than before—he was only doing it to absorb her Yin-Maiden aura, nothing else.
But how was he supposed to ask for that?
