Chapter 17: The Assertive Longyuan

Page (1/3)

Shi Chuchu hadn’t expected that before she even began to make a move, Long Yuan would start his own self-seduction.

For a moment, she felt quite pleased and cooperated by pulling the quilt up, wrapping herself tightly so that only her head was visible.

“All right, Marshal, start the story. Little Bao is waiting.”

The system sneered disdainfully: [I think the one who’s anxious isn’t the cub, but you.]

Shi Chuchu felt no guilt at all.

Hungry for two days, why shouldn’t she be eager to eat? It was only natural.

Meanwhile, Long Yuan had adjusted his mood and resumed telling stories to Long Xiao Bao.

His voice was deep, hoarse, and cold, but when speaking to the cub, his tone became calm and soothing, inexplicably creating a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.

That was why Long Xiao Bao loved listening to his father’s bedtime stories—

The hypnotic effect was truly exceptional.

Not only did Long Xiao Bao quickly drift into sleep, but Shi Chuchu also began to feel drowsy, her eyelids fluttering.

Long Yuan closed the storybook and fixed his heavy gaze on the woman before him.

Only then did he realize that even though Chu Shi was right in front of him, he still couldn’t remember her face.

It was a subtle feeling, difficult to describe accurately, and one he had never experienced.

After a moment’s reflection, he opened his terminal and sent a secret message to someone.

He was determined to investigate this woman thoroughly.

He refused to believe she had no connection to Chu Shi.

Having done all this, Long Yuan quietly rose, ready to leave.

Only then did Shi Chuchu awaken and hurriedly call after him before he fully departed.

“Marshal! Wait!”

Long Yuan’s eyes were cold and indifferent as he looked at her, silently urging her to continue.

Shi Chuchu cautiously released the cub from her arms, threw back the quilt, and, clad in her light nightgown, boldly strode toward Long Yuan.

Then, to Long Yuan’s stunned gaze, she stepped on his shoe, hooked her arms around his neck, tilted her head, and kissed his pale lips directly.

[Ahhh, host, what are you doing?! You haven’t hypnotized him yet!]

Shi Chuchu calmly nibbled on her little snack while chatting with the system in her mind.

“It’s okay. The first time I tried to seduce him, I kissed him like this all the time, testing his reaction when he was awake. Maybe it would lower his blackening value?”

The system was utterly shocked.

[...You can do that??!]

Soon, the change in Long Yuan’s blackening value confirmed Shi Chuchu’s guess—

[Ahhh, it really dropped! It dropped by 3 points again! Now it’s 75!!]

Shi Chuchu smiled proudly, silently applauding her own cleverness.

But the next moment, her smile vanished.

Long Yuan, shaken from his memories, suddenly grabbed her neck mercilessly and pulled her away.

Seeing his extremely gloomy expression, Shi Chuchu quickly activated her hypnosis skill, firmly controlling him before he could snap her neck.

Once the hypnosis took effect, Long Yuan’s expression soon became dazed.

Shi Chuchu nodded with satisfaction, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and led him to her room.

Her clear eyes gleamed mischievously as she glanced around the room, which had excellent soundproofing and privacy. Tonight, she felt like trying something different.

Rarely was the night so quiet, with no one to disturb them...

She pushed Long Yuan down onto the bed, straddled his waist, and swiftly tore open his sleepwear, delighting in caressing his firm, well-developed chest and abs with both hands.

Under her touch, Long Yuan’s breathing quickly grew rapid, soon turning into a seductive pant.

When the mood was just right, Shi Chuchu leaned down to kiss his earlobe and whispered softly,

“Want to feel even better?... If so, tell me where the key to the restraints is.”

Long Yuan’s dark eyes blurred, staring blankly at her face but remaining silent.

Shi Chuchu frowned.

After waiting a while, her patience wore thin, and she lightly tapped the handsome man’s face.

“Speak.”

Her touch wasn’t gentle, and a faint blush appeared on Long Yuan’s cheeks.

“It’s... in the safe in my bedroom,” he murmured softly.

Shi Chuchu thought: No need for that, big brother. A safe? Really?!

“What’s the safe’s password?”

As she pondered whether to hypnotize Long Yuan to retrieve the key himself, she suddenly felt his large hand clamp down on her ankle.

The world spun, and she found herself pinned beneath him.

Shi Chuchu was surprised; under hypnosis, shouldn’t she have no conscious control?

Before she could think further, Long Yuan’s kiss descended.

From lips to chin, then to the lover of his grandfather, and down to the lower abdomen…

Shi Chuchu’s appetite was quickly aroused, leaving no room for anything else as she immersed herself in Long Yuan’s fingers and lips.

Before falling into a deep sleep, she only managed to hypnotize Long Yuan to forget everything that happened tonight and then returned to her room to sleep.

Unaware, two strands of her hair had fallen onto Long Yuan’s sleepwear.

The next morning.

Feeling refreshed, Shi Chuchu was informed by the butler that this afternoon she would accompany the cub to meet a new friend.

Honestly, she wasn’t very keen.

She had heard that the cub on the other side wouldn’t have a nanny, so the task of caring for both little ones would surely fall on her alone.

Taking care of Long Xiao Bao was already exhausting enough; adding another was truly overwhelming.

But there was no choice. Seeing Long Xiao Bao’s eager expression, she reluctantly agreed.

Before leaving, the butler lowered his voice to warn her, “The visitors are the Frost Abyss priest and his only son. Miss Chu, you must be mindful of your words and behavior. Do not be as wild and unruly as usual.”

Shi Chuchu was eating breakfast with the cub and nodded perfunctorily, responding with noncommittal “uh-huhs” and “uh-uhs,” indicating she understood.

Only when the butler reached the doorway did her mind finally catch up.

Her expression instantly turned horrified. She dropped her utensils and sprinted after the butler.

“You just said... the visitor is the Frost Abyss priest?? The national master Frost Abyss?? The one whose beast form is the Purple-Patterned Sea Stinger Jellyfish???”

The butler was startled by her expression and nodded blankly.

Shi Chuchu shuddered all over.

Help! She knew that upon returning, she would have to tread carefully among several male leads, but she didn’t expect the love triangle to come so soon!!

Moreover, she always kept the system’s advice in mind—

Frost Abyss is a little weird; it’s recommended to seduce him last.

The system was also a bit uneasy.

[Frost Abyss’s blackening value cannot be checked on my side either.]

[Let’s hope... nothing unexpected happens then.]
