146: Chapter 146 Unexpected Gain, Su Wan'er!

The door was pushed open.

Su Waner closed her eyes, her whole body trembling, prepared to see a disgusting scene.

The sound of footsteps drew closer and closer.

She could hear her own heart beating violently.

"Look up."

A man's voice rang out—deep, magnetic, and carrying an unquestionable authority.

Su Waner bit her lower lip and slowly raised her head.

Then, she froze.

The man before her was not the fat, greasy middle-aged uncle she had imagined.

Instead...

He was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

His features were clean-cut, and he had a tall, slender build.

While he might not be called a peerless handsome man, he was definitely the type that grew on you, especially those eyes—deep as the starry sky, exuding a dangerous charm.

Su Waner was completely petrified.

This... this was that "Master"?

Though he wasn't a super-handsome guy...

At least... at least he wasn't the ugly, greasy man she had imagined!

"Phew..."

Su Waner breathed a sigh of relief, and the psychological pressure instantly lessened by more than half.

At least, to be with a man like this...

It should be acceptable, right?

If he was strong, she might even feel a bit of anticipation for being disciplined...

Lin Yuan looked at the woman before him, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

[Ding! Collectible Goddess target detected!]

[Name: Su Waner]

[Age: 23 years old]

[Identity: Former corporate white-collar worker]

[Beauty Score: 94 (Gentle and lovely)]

[Measurements: 90-61-89]

[Physique: 110]

[Spiritual Power: 95]

[Superpower: E-rank Light of Healing]

[Trait: Inexperienced]

94 points!

Another top-tier beauty!

And she has a Healing Superpower; that's a rare ability!

Lin Yuan carefully sized up Su Waner.

She had an extremely gentle face.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, a small delicate nose, and tender pink lips.

Her entire face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

She exuded an air of fragile beauty that made one want to protect her.

Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, shimmering softly under the light.

Her figure was even more perfect—curvy in all the right places, a golden ratio body. Dressed in a simple white dress, she appeared even more gentle and lovely.

The most lethal part was her eyes.

Watery and expressive, as if they could speak.

They were filled with weakness and helplessness, making one want to bully her upon seeing them.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "Han Yue, you really found me some good goods this time."

Chen Hanyue stood at the door, a smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"As long as Master is satisfied."

Xia Bingli stood to the side, looking at Su Waner with a complicated expression.

Is another woman going to submit to Lin Yuan's tyranny?

And it seems...

This woman is much weaker than she is.

Lin Yuan walked up to Su Waner and reached out to lift her chin.

"What is your name?"

"Su... Su Waner..." Su Waner replied in a small voice, her tone as soft as a marshmallow.

"Su Waner."

Lin Yuan repeated playfully. "A very nice name. Do you know why you are here?"

Su Waner bit her lower lip and nodded, her eyes reddening slightly.

"Leader Chen said... I am... I am your plaything..."

As she said this, her face instantly turned as red as an apple.

Lin Yuan laughed. "Plaything? That term is quite fitting. However..."

He let go of her and turned to look at Chen Hanyue.

"Tell me about her background."

...

Chen Hanyue stepped forward and began to introduce Su Waner's origins.

"She was originally a white-collar worker at a large company, working overtime when the Apocalypse broke out."

Chen Hanyue said indifferently.

"She has a weak personality, but extremely good luck, having awakened an E-rank Healing Superpower."

Lin Yuan nodded. "A Healing Superpower, a rare ability."

"Yes."

Chen Hanyue continued.

"In the early days of the Apocalypse, she and several female colleagues hid in the company building, struggling to survive. Unfortunately, the Apocalypse was too cruel; her colleagues died one after another—some killed by Mutated Beasts, some harmed by survivors, and some... starved to death."

Hearing this, Su Waner's tears couldn't help but flow.

Those sisters who used to work, eat, and chat with her were now all...

"When my people found her in the ruins, she was already the last survivor."

Chen Hanyue looked at Su Waner, her gaze somewhat complicated.

"All alone, shivering, hiding in a corner of the company building. If we had been one day later, she might have starved to death."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Survived alone for so long?"

"Yes."

Chen Hanyue nodded.

"She relied on her Healing Superpower to treat her own wounds, carefully avoiding various dangers. Because she had seen too much of the darkness of human nature, she never dared to contact other survivors, only daring to live in hiding in various abandoned buildings."

These words made Lin Yuan look at Su Waner in a new light.

She looked weak.

But to be able to survive alone in the Apocalypse for several months was not something an ordinary person could do.

"By the time she was rescued by my people, she was already extremely weak."

A smile curled at the corner of Chen Hanyue's mouth.

"However, she still maintains her... pure body."

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Oh? In this Apocalypse, she could still remain pure?"

"Yes."

Chen Hanyue nodded. "Because she always lived alone and never contacted other survivors. After I brought her back, I nursed her body back to health and told her... she is Master's woman."

Su Waner lowered her head, her face so red it looked like it was about to drip blood.

When she first heard the news, she was absolutely desperate.

But what could she do?

In this Apocalypse, the weak have no right to choose.

...

Lin Yuan looked at Su Waner, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

This woman was weak but not stupid.

To survive alone in the Apocalypse for several months required not just luck, but also wisdom and caution.

"Su Waner."

Lin Yuan spoke. "Do you hate me?"

Su Waner was startled and looked up, her gaze complicated.

"I... I don't know..."

"Don't know?" Lin Yuan laughed. "Then look at them."

He pointed at Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingli.

"Chen Hanyue, the leader of Hanyue Shelter, cold and powerful. Xia Bingli, the top assassin of the Shadow Organization, cold and beautiful. They are both my women."

Su Waner looked at the two in shock.

These two peerless women... were both his?

And...

She looked at Chen Hanyue; this cold goddess actually took the initiative to scout women for Lin Yuan?

She looked at Xia Bingli.

Although there was hatred in this cold assassin's eyes, there was even more... submission?

"Are you afraid of me?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

Su Waner bit her lower lip and nodded. "Afraid..."

"Then do you hate me?"

Su Waner fell silent.

After a long time, she shook her head. "I... I don't hate you..."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because..."

Su Waner's voice was as small as a mosquito's. "Because you are at least... at least better than I imagined..."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly.

"What did you imagine I was like?"

Su Waner's face turned beet red, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Could she say that she had pictured an ugly, fat middle-aged uncle?

"Interesting."

Lin Yuan shook his head with a smile, walked up to her, and reached out to stroke her cheek.

"You are very smart. In this Apocalypse, smart women are the ones who live longer."

Su Waner trembled all over, not daring to move.

"I won't mistreat you."

Lin Yuan's voice was deep and magnetic.

"As long as you are obedient, I will give you endless supplies, powerful protection, and even... let you live better in this Apocalypse than you did before."

Su Waner raised her head, a flash of complicated emotion in her eyes.

She looked at Lin Yuan's clean-cut face and saw the confidence and dominance in his eyes.

She knew that she no longer had a choice.

"I... I understand," Su Waner said softly. "I will... be obedient."

Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingli.

A flash of realization crossed Chen Hanyue's eyes; this weak woman had already chosen to submit.

Xia Bingli bit her lower lip, her gaze complicated.

She thought about how she had been the same back then, forced to submit to Lin Yuan.

But now...

Her feelings toward Lin Yuan were no longer just pure hatred.

Lin Yuan observed Su Waner's reaction, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Disciplining this weak woman should be quite interesting.

Lin Yuan reached out his hand. "From today on, you are my woman."

Su Waner looked at that hand.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally reached out with a trembling hand and placed it in his palm.

The warm touch made her heart skip a beat for some reason.

Although he wasn't ugly, she knew she was about to lose her freedom and her purity.

But in this Apocalypse, having a powerful man's protection was already a luxury.

At least...

At least he wasn't as terrifying as she had imagined.

Lin Yuan gripped her hand, feeling the soft texture, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.

Another top-tier beauty obtained.

The sky of the Apocalypse was still gray, but Lin Yuan's harem had gained another fragile flower.

And this flower would slowly bloom in his hands.

Chen Hanyue stood to the side, watching this scene with a complicated gaze.

She knew that Su Waner's fate had been rewritten.

Xia Bingli bit her lower lip, her heart a whirlwind of emotions.

Another woman had joined...

And she herself was merely one of them.

Lin Yuan turned to leave the room, leaving behind a sentence as he went:

"Get some rest. Tomorrow... I will come to take you."

Su Waner trembled all over, her face turning red like a ripe apple.

She knew what that meant.

The room returned to silence.

Su Waner sat on the bed.

At this moment, her heart was not as desperate as she had imagined.

Because at least...

That man seemed quite alright.

Besides, a man who could make goddesses like Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingli submit must have his own charm, right?

Thinking of this, Su Waner's face turned red again.

She shook her head, forcing herself not to let her thoughts run wild.
