Chapter 79
It’s unrealistic to expect a psychologically twisted person to feel guilt. Yu Xunhuan had already decided to take the initiative and expose the matter. While he didn’t expect Su Yitong to feel indebted to him, at the very least, it would make her less brazen in venting her anger at him, right?
“I said, turn around and talk to me! Did I ever tell you not to turn your back on me?” Su Yitong’s voice rang out sharply from behind.
Ignoring the mixed looks of mockery, disdain, and amusement from the Su family’s subordinates, Yu Xunhuan calmly turned around to placate Su Yitong.
Su Baige and Su Jinxuan watched the scene unfold, too afraid to speak—after all, if she scolded your husband, she wouldn’t dare scold us.
Though Yu Xunge didn’t witness this moment, she could guess the gist of it. Su Yitong usually appeared easygoing, but when she was in a bad mood, her temper could be even more terrifying than Liang Yuchuan’s.
Liang Yuchuan had a quick temper that flared up and faded just as fast, while Su Yitong was the type who rarely lost her cool, but when she did, it lasted a long time and was particularly frightening.
Feeling wronged, Yu Xunhuan became increasingly diligent in cooking for the Su family. Perhaps he truly had a gift for cooking, a talent bestowed by the gods, for even though he had never cooked before, the meals he prepared were genuinely delicious.
Moreover, Yu Xunhuan was particularly cunning. He didn’t absorb much luck, but each time he would quietly murmur about which ingredients in the dish he had spent a fortune to acquire, ensuring they wouldn’t go to waste. The Su family didn’t seem to suffer any obvious misfortunes in their daily lives; they just found themselves increasingly unlucky when it came to finding good loot after eating his meals.
Correspondingly, the drop rate of monsters after Yu Xunhuan’s final blow increased significantly. In comparison, the Su family began to value him more and more, creating a positive feedback loop for Yu Xunhuan.
By April, Yu Xunhuan had reached level 1 with 53% experience. Although he hadn’t made it onto the leaderboard, this pace was already better than 19% of players. After all, for many, just being able to queue up for a dungeon once a day was impressive.
However, at this point, Yu Xunge had already reached level 2.
Yu Xunhuan had tried to gather information a few times, and Yu Xunge didn’t hide it from him anymore. She directly told him that there was a level 3 dungeon upstairs in the villa, rented out to the Special Affairs Bureau, but she had reserved some time for him. When he reached level 3, he could bring his firearms to her dungeon for a solo run.
This made Yu Xunhuan feel a twinge of jealousy, but then he remembered that the Su family had over a hundred dungeon resources at their disposal, and that jealousy quickly dissipated. After all, Yu Xunge was only taking advantage in the early stages; once her level increased, she would struggle to find better dungeon resources, and her leveling speed would soon slow down.
Still, he shared this news with Yu Qingshan, urging them to seek out Yu Xunge and ask her to help them level up.
When Yu Xunge received the call from Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, she immediately knew it was about Yu Xunhuan. Even if Yu Xunhuan trusted her in this life, deep down, he still had that same old nature. While she didn’t think he harbored any ill intentions towards her, she also didn’t expect him to wish her well.
Yu Xunge had long wanted to give Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo a taste of hardship, so she readily agreed, “Sure, but you need to stick close to me. If things go south, just run.”
Once they entered the dungeon, they first put on a dramatic display of extreme monster-fighting under the onslaught of creatures, their health dropping to 10% several times before being pulled back up. Yi Qiuguo gasped loudly in fright, and during the second monster pull, she “accidentally” let slip a mage. The mage chased after Yi Qiuguo and Yu Qingshan, causing them to scream and flee the dungeon, only to be hit by a fireball on their backs, barely escaping with their health hanging by a thread.
After Yu Xunge leisurely finished off the remaining monsters, she stepped out to “comfort” the two, explaining that every time she ran a dungeon, it was a life-or-death situation, which was why she couldn’t bring them along.
When Yu Qingshan returned and relayed this situation to Yu Xunhuan, he felt that this was more like it…
It wasn’t as if Yu Xunge could just sweep through the dungeon unscathed.
But he didn’t mention his plans to help the two level up.
However, if Yu Xunhuan was stirring up trouble, Yu Xunge naturally had to retaliate.
She directly sold the news of the Su family’s son-in-law contracting AIDS to Baozi, who then resold it to the Liang family for a profit.
She didn’t expect Yu Xunhuan to pass this illness on to Liang Yuchuan. Given the relationship between Liang Yuchuan and Su Yitong, along with Yu Xunhuan’s current SB-level divine talent, unless Liang Yuchuan suddenly gained a skill that allowed him to absorb luck while sleeping, he would never sleep with Yu Xunhuan again. Moreover, she had a hunch that with Yu Xunhuan’s mindset and luck, he might even manage to bluff his way through this.
Before doing all this, to witness the unfolding drama firsthand, she took advantage of the night to sneak outside the Su family’s estate, releasing three little undead spiders. Climbing several kilometers on their spider legs, she made her way into the three villas where the Su family head, Su Baige, and Su Yitong lived.
For good measure, she also placed a spider in the Liang family estate and another in Yu Xunhuan’s apartment, ensuring multiple angles for her gossip.
Baozi’s efficiency rivaled that of social media influencers. On the 2nd, she acquired the news, and by the 3rd, she was verifying it. Although she didn’t find any evidence, she had a divine skill that allowed her to confirm whether the information she heard was true or false, which was the best evidence. By the morning of the 4th, she sold this news simultaneously to the Liang family and Su Yitong, casually contacting Yu Xunhuan during lunch.
She sent him a message: “The news about your AIDS has been leaked. Want to know who knows? If you do, send me 5 gold coins.”
Making money three times from one piece of news—who could beat that?
When Yu Xunhuan received this message, he thought it was a prank. But upon seeing the letters “AIDS,” he sent over 5 gold coins, only to learn the shocking news: “At 11 AM today, both the Liang family and Su Yitong found out you have AIDS.”
He nearly choked on his breath and collapsed.
Although he could modify the information on his character panel, he couldn’t change his blood. If they drew blood for testing, nothing could be hidden.
There’s still hope! There’s still hope! If Su Yitong didn’t want the Su family to know she had the same illness, she would definitely help him!!!
Hiding in his studio, Yu Xunhuan didn’t return home. With trembling hands, he directly messaged Su Yitong.
【Yu Xunhuan】: Did you find out?
【Su Yitong】: Wait for me at the apartment.
Those six words felt like a ghost demanding a life. Even though Yu Xunhuan prided himself on his mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but shiver.
【Yu Xunhuan】: I want to know if you got this from me.
【Su Yitong】: Heh.
【Su Yitong】: How do you know I have it? Did you investigate?
【Su Yitong】: You investigated and still dared to have relations with me?
【Su Yitong】: Because you were so confident, you infected me.
Yu Xunhuan realized that in his panic, he had inadvertently exposed a flaw. Through the window, he saw Su Yitong’s car parked downstairs. The door opened, and not only did Su Yitong step out, but also two of her highest-level players with the strongest divine talents.
【Yu Xunhuan】: I have a way to help you hide the information about the unknown curse. My divine talent can absorb the luck of others in the Su family. I can help you gain the Su family’s favor; we can make a pact.
【Yu Xunhuan】: My talent skill is called “You Want to Get It for Free?” It’s a passive skill; no one can enjoy my cooking for free. Unless I explicitly state that I’m treating, anyone who eats my food without paying will have their luck used by me for a period of time.
【Yu Xunhuan】: I contracted this illness during surgery; I only found out recently. You can have the butler give me a lie detector test; I didn’t do it on purpose.
【Yu Xunhuan】: I can also help you take revenge on the Liang family. I can pass this illness to Liang Yuchuan!! To your brother, your father, anyone! Even the butler!!
If all went well, this would be the fastest he had ever typed in his life.
Su Yitong, who looked ready to kill, nearly lost her composure at the mention of “even the butler,” almost tumbling down the stairs.
The doorbell rang, and a voice from outside called, “Who is it?”
【Su Yitong】: Open the door, I won’t kill you.
**Chapter 103: Everyone Has It, No Need to Panic, We All Have It**
Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong sat face to face in the study of the apartment, both at a loss for words.
Once, they had shared a bit of genuine affection for each other, but somewhere along the way, that tiny spark had been worn away.
Perhaps it was because Su Yitong hadn’t shared the information about the game’s internal testing right away, or maybe it was because Yu Xunhuan had hidden his injuries from her. Perhaps it was because Su Yitong never allowed Yu Xunhuan to participate in Su family meetings, or because Yu Xunhuan hadn’t honestly disclosed his divine talent. Or maybe it was the mutual scheming that arose after discovering the “unknown curse”…
No one knew who had taken the wrong step first, and neither would admit it.
Both had witnessed the darker sides of each other, just as Yu Xunhuan had once thought—they were a perfect match. On the surface, they appeared glamorous, but inside, they were darker and more disgusting than anyone else.
Yu Xunhuan no longer begged for mercy, and Su Yitong’s failure to kill him indicated that she was intrigued by his proposal.
As for Su Yitong, on her way there, she had already thought of hundreds of ways to humiliate and torment Yu Xunhuan. She wanted to strip him of his pants and castrate him completely, then hang him in the city center. She wanted to chop off his limbs and force him to drink the healing potion, turning him into a dog in the estate…
But now, she decided to endure.
Just as Yu Xunhuan had said, he was very useful.
Not just his luck, but also his talent, and his illness.
All of it was useful.
