Chapter 477: Li Yuan’s Fantasies

At the First Peak, in Qian Anning’s courtyard.

The mother and daughter were chatting when an “uninvited guest” arrived—

“Junior Sister.”

“Haoran!”

The moment Qian Anning saw Wang Haoran, she immediately jumped out of Qian Wanyi’s arms.

She ran over and hugged Wang Haoran, blinking her big eyes as she asked, “Haoran, why are you here so early to see me?”

Wang Haoran replied smoothly, “Because I missed you, Junior Sister!”

“I had nothing else to do, so I thought I’d come see you!”

“Really! I missed you too, Haoran!”

“I was just about to come find you!”

Qian Anning beamed with joy, snuggling into Wang Haoran’s arms with a blissful smile.

Seeing her precious Anning so easily deceived, to the point of forgetting her “mother,” Qian Wanyi sighed deeply.

Then she glared fiercely at Wang Haoran—

This scoundrel, hitting so hard last night!

She was still feeling the pain even now!

Yet this bastard acted as if nothing had happened!

Hmph, what a great actor!

No wonder Anning was so easily tricked by him!

“Truly infuriating!”

As Qian Wanyi silently cursed in her heart.

“Good morning, Auntie!”

Wang Haoran “politely” greeted her.

Qian Wanyi: “……” NM, good morning!

You really think I don’t know it was you last night?!

—For some reason, just thinking about this despicable mother-son duo made Qian Wanyi lose her composure, reverting to her old, fiery temper as a spoiled young lady.

She couldn’t help but retort sarcastically at Wang Haoran:

“Haoran, your master treats you so well—”

“Nishang treats you so well!”

Mocking him with a passive-aggressive tone about his “two masters”—one of whom was supposedly a legendary realm expert, and also just a persona he had created. Did Nishang know about this?

Hearing this, Wang Haoran was momentarily stunned.

But then he smiled, “Of course!”

He then patted Qian Anning’s head, “Junior Sister, are you going home for the New Year?”

If Qian Anning was going back to the Qian family, the two of them wouldn’t see each other until after the holiday.

Hearing the question, Qian Anning immediately nodded—

“That’s right, I’m going home for the New Year!”

As she spoke, she looked up, her face shy as she gazed into Wang Haoran’s eyes:

“Haoran, wherever you are, that’s my home!”

“……”

“……”

So cute!

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but kiss her forehead, “Then I’ll take you home with me!”

“Mm-hmm!” Qian Anning happily agreed.

This scene of affection between the young couple made Qian Wanyi grind her teeth audibly!

After a few more exchanges between the two.

Qian Anning finally left Wang Haoran’s arms to go pack her things in her room.

Meanwhile, Wang Haoran sat across from Qian Wanyi.

“Quite the charmer!” Qian Wanyi huffed, glaring in the direction her daughter had gone.

“Tricking an innocent girl until she’s completely infatuated!”

—Unfortunately, Wang Haoran ignored her words and instead stared at her.

Then, with a pointed tone, he asked:

“Auntie, last night, did you… change your clothes in the middle of the night?”

“……!” Hearing Wang Haoran bring it up directly, Qian Wanyi was immediately startled, “What do you mean?!”

“What do I mean? Oh, nothing.”

“I just think sleeping in wet clothes must be uncomfortable.”

“So I was curious and wanted to ask if you changed your clothes last night!”

Wang Haoran shifted his gaze, looking at a certain part of Qian Wanyi’s clothing:

“Or did you just keep them on and use Qi to dry them?”

“You…!”

This was clearly a confession!

Although Qian Wanyi had brought up last night’s events herself earlier, now that it was out in the open, she suddenly felt flustered.

Seeing her retreat, Wang Haoran used his original voice and let out an eccentric laugh—

“Kehehehehe!”

He clenched his right hand:

“Good texture!”

“Auntie, I really don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

“After all, I truly like Junior Sister and don’t want to upset her.”

“So, you’d better behave—otherwise, I might have to pay you another visit!”

“……Ugh…” Qian Wanyi lowered her head, not responding.

Seeing that hand, the same one that had tormented her last night, the “shameful” memory resurfaced, filling her with humiliation and anger—

You scoundrel, even worse than your mother!

Just you wait!

I’m already a Grandmaster, and soon I’ll reach the legendary realm!

And my Qian family is wealthy, with all the resources I could need! If I wanted to, I could surpass you in no time!

When that happens, I’ll seal your strength, hang you up, and whip you with a saltwater-soaked lash!

For deceiving my Anning!

For hitting me, rubbing me, and mocking me!

—And so, until Qian Anning finished packing and came out.

The imaginary Wang Haoran in Qian Wanyi’s mind continued to suffer a relentless beating.

***

Meanwhile, also at the First Peak.

In another room, unlike the lively atmosphere around Wang Haoran.

Qian Anning’s senior brother, Li Yuan, sat alone, deep in thought.

He no longer followed the “plot.”

However, he still remembered the “plot” well and planned to use it to his advantage—

(At this point in time…)

(The naive girl, Junior Sister, and Master have all fallen head over heels for the protagonist Wang Haoran…)

It was nearly impossible for him to “steal them back.”

(However, Martial Aunt Zhao Nishang hasn’t… she and the protagonist are still just family—)

Thinking of Zhao Nishang, Li Yuan naturally recalled—

(The “no-seg-no-go” room…)

(Maybe… I can use it to my advantage!)

If Wang Haoran could experience it, why couldn’t he?

(As long as I wait until next year’s Three Holy Lands Joint Trial… then…)

(When we explore the ruins together… maybe I can…)

Replace the protagonist, seizing his opportunities and “romantic encounters.”

Currently, neither his strength nor his “influence” could rival Wang Haoran’s.

After all, Wang Haoran had two legendary realm experts backing him!

(But if… I can win over Martial Aunt Zhao…)

Once this thought emerged, Li Yuan couldn’t suppress it.

His master was taken, An Buyu was taken… these blows made him want to “fight fire with fire.”

He wanted to use the same methods to retaliate against Wang Haoran.

And the best target to “steal” was none other than the legendary realm “War Goddess,” Martial Aunt Zhao—

(Haha, Wang Haoran, when you face me…)

(Calling me ‘Uncle-in-Law,’ I wonder if you’ll be able to say it!)

By then, Wang Haoran’s expression would surely be priceless!

(Haha!)

(I can’t wait to see that look on your face!)
