174: Chapter 174 Chu Yanran's Transformation!

Seeing the way Lin Yuan sliced his palm without a moment's hesitation, everyone was stunned.

How precious is the blood essence of an SS-Rank Expert?

That is a supreme treasure capable of bringing about a rebirth!

Legend has it that a single drop of an SS-Rank Expert's blood essence can allow an ordinary person to awaken a Superpower!

Yet now, Lin Yuan was doing it for Chu Yanran...

"Lin Yuan..."

Tang Shiyun watched this scene, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Was she jealous?

A little.

But more than that... it was touching.

A man willing to pay such a price for his woman...

Such a man is worthy of entrusting one's life to, right?

Drip!

Drip!

Bright red blood dripped onto the rune on Chu Yanran's forehead.

Hum, hum, hum—

The light of the rune grew brighter and brighter, and the entire space was trembling!

"Step back!"

Luo Qinghan hurriedly shouted:

"The energy fluctuation from the seal being released will be very strong!"

Everyone retreated one after another.

Only Lin Yuan, holding Chu Yanran, remained motionless.

He could feel a mysterious power awakening within Chu Yanran.

It was a very ancient and very powerful bloodline power.

"The Chu Family..."

Tang Zhentian muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect the Chu Family to still have bloodline descendants in this world..."

"Third Uncle, what kind of family is the Chu Family exactly?"

Tang Shiyun asked.

She had only heard the name of the Chu Family but didn't know the specifics.

Tang Zhentian's expression was solemn:

"The Chu Family is a hidden family even older than our Tang Family."

"They mastered a forbidden technique called 'Fate Interference'."

"It is said to be able to alter a person's fate trajectory, and even... reverse cause and effect."

"Twenty years ago, because of this technique, the Chu Family was besieged by major forces."

"Overnight, the entire family was wiped out."

"I didn't expect... there to be survivors."

Fate Interference?

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

This ability... is a bit heaven-defying.

No wonder they were wiped out.

Innocent people become targets when they possess rare treasures.

"However..."

Luo Qinghan suddenly spoke up:

"The conditions for the Chu Family's bloodline awakening are extremely harsh."

"Not only does it require powerful stimulation, but it also needs..."

She glanced at Lin Yuan:

"It requires encountering their fated person."

"What does that mean?"

Ye Qingxue asked with a frown.

Luo Qinghan explained:

"There is a legend in the Chu Family that every generation of Chu descendants has a fated person."

"Only by encountering this person can they truly awaken their bloodline power."

"The difficulty of this condition is also the fundamental reason for their downfall."

Ye Qingyue's eyes lit up as she listened:

"Wow, how romantic!"

"Just like the prince and princess in fairy tales!"

But the next second, she realized.

Wait...

If Chu Yanran's fated person is Brother Lin Yuan...

Then what about her?

There were already enough competitors, and now there's a "fated person" too?

How is anyone supposed to live like this?

"No way!"

Ye Qingyue said poutily:

"What fated person? I don't accept it!"

"Brother Lin Yuan is mine!"

Ye Qingxue looked at her sister helplessly.

This girl's possessiveness... is getting stronger and stronger.

Just then—

Boom!

A terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from within Chu Yanran!

A dark golden light shot up into the sky!

In the light, Chu Yanran's body slowly floated up.

She still had her eyes closed, but the changes in her body left everyone dumbfounded.

First was her hair.

Her originally ordinary black hair actually began to emit a faint purple glow.

Every strand of hair was as crystal clear as amethyst.

Then her skin.

Her skin, which was already fair, was now glowing white.

Like the finest mutton-fat jade, it looked as if it would break at a touch.

The most shocking part was her appearance.

That originally ordinary face was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Her eyebrows became more delicate, as if they had been painted on.

Although her eyes were closed, their shape had clearly become more perfect.

Her nose became more pert, and her lips became more rosy.

The contours of her entire face were being reshaped!

From ordinary... to beautiful... and then to stunningly beautiful...

"My god..."

Su Yuyan covered her mouth in shock:

"She... she..."

"Is she really this beautiful?"

Chen Hanyue was also stunned.

She had always thought her own appearance was top-tier.

But compared to Chu Yanran now...

She actually felt a bit ashamed of herself.

This kind of beauty was not just about delicate facial features.

It was a noble temperament that emanated from the inside out.

Like a princess born to be cherished in the palm of one's hand.

"97 points..."

Lin Yuan looked at the system panel, a smile curling on the corner of his lips.

Sure enough, Chu Yanran's true beauty score reached 97.

A peerless beauty.

Before the Apocalypse, she would definitely be a femme fatale capable of causing wars.

Hum—

The light gradually faded.

Chu Yanran slowly landed, still unconscious.

But the seal... had loosened by half.

"Why wasn't it completely removed?"

Lin Yuan asked Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan thought for a moment:

"Perhaps the seal is too strong and requires multiple sessions of guidance."

"Or..."

Her eyes were a bit strange:

"It requires more intimate contact."

"What do you mean?"

"It means..."

Luo Qinghan blushed slightly:

"It might require... that..."

She didn't finish, but everyone understood.

Ye Qingyue instantly bristled:

"No! Absolutely not!"

Ye Qingxue grabbed her sister:

"Qingyue, don't make a scene."

"But sister..."

"Chu Yanran's life and death are more important than your petty thoughts."

Ye Qingxue's voice was stern.

Ye Qingyue lowered her head, feeling aggrieved.

She knew her sister was right, but she just wasn't willing to accept it...

Lin Yuan ignored their argument.

He picked up Chu Yanran and turned to head back to the villa.

"Wait!"

Tang Zhentian suddenly shouted:

"Your Excellency, our business isn't finished yet!"

Lin Yuan stopped, turned back, and looked at him coldly:

"You're still not leaving?"

Tang Zhentian gritted his teeth:

"The young lady must come back with me!"

"This is the command of the family head!"

"And the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has already sent the betrothal gifts!"

"If the young lady doesn't go back, both families will be furious!"

Lin Yuan sneered:

"Furious?"

"Then let them come find me."

"I'd like to see who dares to touch my people."

My people?

Tang Shiyun's heart raced wildly.

He said... I am his person?

"You..."

Tang Zhentian still wanted to say something.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down!

It exploded right beside his feet!

A large crater instantly appeared on the ground!

Tang Zhentian was so scared that his face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Next time..."

Lin Yuan's voice was cold:

"The lightning won't miss."

"Get lost."

Tang Zhentian didn't dare say another word and scrambled back to the car.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The motorcade fled like a pack of stray dogs.

Before leaving, Tang Zhentian looked back:

"You have offended the Tang Family and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; you will definitely regret this!"

Lin Yuan didn't even look at him.

Regret?

What a joke.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was from the Tang Family, he would have killed him already!!

In his life, Lin Yuan had never known the word "regret".

"Shiyun."

Lin Yuan suddenly called out to Tang Shiyun, who was about to turn back.

"Huh?"

Tang Shiyun's heart rate accelerated.

"Come with me."

Lin Yuan held Chu Yanran and walked towards the villa.

Tang Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

The other women looked at each other.

What's going on?

Lin Yuan is taking two women back to the room?

Ye Qingyue stamped her feet in anxiety:

"Sister! Brother Lin Yuan, he..."

"Shut up."

Ye Qingxue glared at her:

"Lin Yuan knows what he is doing."

Although she said that, she felt a bit bitter in her heart.

After all, watching the man she loved treat another woman well...

Anyone would be jealous.

...

Master bedroom of the villa.

Lin Yuan placed Chu Yanran on the bed.

Even while unconscious, her beauty was still breathtaking.

That flawless face was like God's proudest masterpiece.

"So beautiful..."

Tang Shiyun sighed in genuine admiration.

She considered her own appearance quite outstanding, but compared to Chu Yanran...

She was still a little lacking.

"You don't need to feel inferior."

Lin Yuan suddenly said:

"You have your own beauty."

Tang Shiyun was stunned, then blushed.

He... he is complimenting me?

"Um... you called me here..."

"To help me take care of her."

Lin Yuan said:

"The seal hasn't been completely removed, she needs someone to look after her."

"Oh..."

Tang Shiyun felt a bit disappointed.

So he just wanted her to be a nanny...

"Also."

Lin Yuan looked at her:

"Don't worry about the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

"With me here, no one can force you."

Tang Shiyun's eyes brimmed with warmth.

This man...

Even though he has nothing to do with her, he is willing to offend two major forces for her.

Why?

"Lin Yuan..."

She gathered her courage:

"Why are you helping me?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment.

Why?

Because of the system?

Because she is a goddess who meets the requirements?

No, it's more than that.

"Because you are my person."

He said calmly:

"No one can bully my people."

Tang Shiyun was completely stunned.

I... I am his person?

When did this happen?

How come I don't know?

But...

It seems she doesn't hate this idea either.

"I'm going to prepare some medicinal herbs."

Lin Yuan said and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Tang Shiyun suddenly called out to him.

Lin Yuan turned back.

Tang Shiyun took a deep breath and gathered her courage to say:

"Thank you... Lin Yuan."

"I... I won't let you down."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly:

"I know."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Tang Shiyun watched his back, her heart beating like a drum.

It's over...
