Chapter 226: Lustful Inner Voice

Bai Xue nodded.

Then toward Shen Yan.

"You stay close."

She smiled.

"Very close?"

"Normal close."

Her smile dropped slightly.

"...Fine."

Gu Qingya folded her arms.

"And me?"

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"You stay behind the security line."

Her eyes narrowed immediately.

"No."

Shen Tian smiled.

She frowned.

"What?"

"You sound like me."

"I am not staying in a car."

"I didn’t say car."

"Then?"

"You come inside..."

Shen Yan turned.

"Tian."

He looked toward her.

One look.

That was enough.

She closed her mouth.

Gu Qingya noticed.

Shen Tian continued.

"But you stay behind me."

Gu Qingya considered.

That was different.

Not...

You aren’t allowed.

Not...

I decide.

He was giving her a condition for entering an active combat zone.

A reasonable one.

She nodded.

"Fine."

Shen Tian smiled.

"Good."

The vehicle stopped.

He opened the door.

Then paused.

Xu Ning appeared directly in front of him.

[Host.]

"What?"

[Before you enter...]

A golden panel appeared.

Host: Shen Tian

Current Cultivation: Domain Initiation Realm

Accumulated Fate Rewards: Significant

Available System Conversion: Cultivation Enhancement

Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed.

How much?

[Enough.]

His smile slowly changed.

Xu Ning immediately became suspicious.

[Host.]

Do it.

Her eyes widened.

[Here?]

Right now.

[Your body will...]

Xu Ning.

He looked directly toward her.

Do it.

For a second...

She stared.

Then sighed.

[You’re becoming extremely arrogant.]

Shen Tian smiled.

Becoming?

Xu Ning covered her face.

Then...

The system activated.

[Ding!]

Converting accumulated Fate rewards...

Shen Tian stepped from the vehicle.

The night air changed.

At first...

Nothing obvious happened.

Then...

His Domain expanded.

Ten meters.

Twenty.

Fifty.

One hundred.

Shen Yan immediately froze.

Bai Xue’s smile disappeared.

Ling Shuangxue felt pressure against her skin.

Gu Qingya took one involuntary step backward.

The pavement beneath Shen Tian’s shoes cracked.

Golden Qi appeared.

Not wildly.

Controlled.

Condensed.

It wrapped around him like heat distortion.

His cultivation rose.

Domain Initiation.

Peak Domain Initiation.

Then...

Something broke.

Not physically.

A barrier.

A threshold.

Shen Tian closed his eyes.

His perception expanded.

The docks changed.

He could feel...

Everything.

Heartbeats.

Footsteps.

Weapons.

Qi.

Movement inside warehouses.

Lu Chen.

That aura stood out immediately.

Strong.

Dark.

Violent.

But...

For the first time...

Shen Tian smiled.

Because it no longer felt overwhelming.

Xu Ning’s system flashed.

[BREAKTHROUGH SUCCESSFUL]

Host Cultivation: Spirit Perception Realm

Shen Tian opened his eyes.

Golden light flashed through them.

Shen Yan stared.

"Tian..."

He looked toward her.

"What?"

Her expression shifted from shock...

To pride.

"You broke through."

"Yeah."

Bai Xue whispered...

"Just like that?"

Shen Tian looked toward the warehouse.

"Got tired of being weaker."

Gu Qingya stared at him.

She understood cultivation only partially.

Enough to know what had happened was ridiculous.

One moment...

Shen Tian had been suppressing his strength.

The next...

The entire dock seemed to revolve around his presence.

Shen Tian smiled.

Then...

His aura vanished.

Completely.

Not suppressed poorly.

Gone.

Gu Qingya blinked.

Shen Yan’s eyes widened again.

Perfect concealment.

Spirit Perception.

And Shen Tian had already adapted.

He looked toward the warehouse.

"Now..."

His smile became arrogant.

Very arrogant.

"Let’s go ruin his night."

. . .

Inside Warehouse 17...

Lu Chen stood surrounded by bodies.

Red Scorpion members covered the floor.

Some unconscious.

Others unable to stand.

Tables had been overturned.

Weapons scattered everywhere.

One wall had a man shaped dent in it.

At the center...

Lu Chen held a muscular man by the throat.

Red Scorpion Lieutenant: Ma Kun

Lu Chen smiled.

"Where is Zhou Kang?"

Ma Kun struggled.

"Go..."

Lu Chen tightened his grip.

"...to hell."

Lu Chen laughed.

"I’ve been."

Then slammed him against the table.

CRASH!

The wood shattered.

Nearby...

A young woman sat bound to a chair.

She looked approximately twenty-four.

Long auburn hair.

Elegant features.

Expensive clothes now dirtied.

Her name...

Tang Meilin.

Daughter of another wealthy family.

Kidnapped after accidentally witnessing a Red Scorpion transaction.

She had been inside the warehouse for twelve hours.

And according to Fate...

Lu Chen was supposed to rescue her.

She stared at him.

At first...

She had been relieved.

Someone had broken in.

Destroyed the criminals.

Saved her.

Then...

Something strange happened.

A voice entered her mind.

Not spoken aloud.

Not Lu Chen’s physical voice.

Something else.

[Not bad.]

Tang Meilin froze.

Lu Chen hadn’t moved his mouth.

[She’s pretty.]

Her eyes widened.

What?

Lu Chen threw Ma Kun aside.

Then looked toward her.

Their eyes met.

Tang Meilin heard it again.

[Long legs.]

Her expression stiffened.

[Good figure too.]

She stared.

Lu Chen smiled toward her.

"You’re safe."

His spoken voice sounded calm.

Reassuring.

But...

Inside his head...

[Another rich beauty.]

[This trip back to China keeps getting better.]

Tang Meilin’s relief disappeared.

What...

The hell?

Lu Chen approached.

[She’ll probably fall for me after this.]

Her face changed completely.

He stopped.

"Are you injured?"

Tang Meilin stared at him.

Then...

Slowly...

"No."

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

She sounded colder than expected.

Fate shifted.

Xu Ning, outside, immediately noticed.

. . .

Shen Tian reached the warehouse perimeter.

Then stopped.

Xu Ning’s eyes widened.

[Host.]

"What?"

[Something activated.]

A system message appeared.

SPECIAL WORLD EFFECT

Heroines connected to protagonist Fate may now hear Lu Chen’s internal voice.

Shen Tian stared.

Then...

A grin appeared.

"Oh."

Xu Ning smiled.

[Yes.]

"All of them?"

[Major heroines.]

"Gu Qingya?"

[Yes.]

Shen Tian slowly looked over his shoulder.

Gu Qingya was walking behind him with Shen Yan.

Her expression suddenly changed.

She stopped.

Her eyes widened.

Shen Tian immediately knew.

She heard it.

Inside the warehouse...

Lu Chen thought...

[Qingya is probably angry I left.]

Gu Qingya froze.

Then...

[She’ll get over it.]

Her face slowly hardened.

[Once she sees what I can do, she’ll understand why a woman like her needs a man like me.]

Gu Qingya’s eyes became icy.

Shen Tian almost laughed.

She looked toward him.

"You..."

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Did you hear..."

She stopped.

How could she explain that?

A voice.

Inside her head.

Lu Chen’s voice.

Shen Tian looked toward Xu Ning.
