As the saying goes, winning a woman's body is easy; winning her heart is another story.
Su Chen, a transmigrator, understood this truth deeply. He didn't want Chu Yanran turning on him someday, murdering him in his sleep. So, Chu Yanran and her disciple, Ye Fan, had to become enemies—no other option.
He pulled a Memory Stone from his robe and handed it to Chu Yanran.
"What's inside?" she asked, curiously examining the stone.
"Just look," he replied, then closed his eyes, pretending to nap.
"Oh." Chu Yanran nodded, gently channeling her spiritual energy into the Memory Stone.
A moment later, a clear image appeared in the air, projected within the room.
The scene showed the damp, dimly-lit dungeons of the Celestial Sword Sect. Ye Fan lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes vacant, his face expressionless. His cultivation was sealed, his legs were broken, with white bone peeking through—clearly, he still hadn't recovered from the humiliation he endured in the Hall of Affairs today.
In the past, no matter what trouble he faced, he could always rely on his luck and the remnant soul of Luo Shen residing in his ring to pull through. He was used to humiliating others, not the other way around. When had he ever been disgraced like this?
Watching Ye Fan in his pitiful state stirred something in Chu Yanran, his master. But wary of Su Chen noticing her expression, she turned away slightly and cast a careful glance at him. Seeing his eyes closed, she felt safe to continue watching the Memory Stone's display.
At that moment, the scene in the projection shifted.
The ring on Ye Fan's finger suddenly glowed, releasing a strand of spiritual energy. It materialized in front of him, forming a figure—the remnants of Luo Shen's soul.
Luo Shen was stunningly beautiful. Dressed in white as pure as snow, her skin gleamed like sculpted ice, smooth and radiant. Her eyes, seductive and enchanting, seemed to draw in souls with a single glance. A tear mole at the corner of her right eye only added to her allure.
Even Su Chen couldn't resist sneaking a peek, squinting one eye open from his pretend nap to admire Luo Shen's mesmerizing beauty in the image.
"Such beauty…" Su Chen couldn't help but marvel. "No man would pass up a woman like that."
Now he understood why Ye Fan would claim her so fiercely the moment she regained a physical body. Even as a mere soul remnant, she was this captivating. If she were fully alive... Su Chen couldn't even find words for it.
The projection continued.
Luo Shen looked gently at Ye Fan. "Little Fan, do not be hasty. Your heart has grown unstable."
"That bitch Chu Yanran! She broke my legs right in front of that trash Su Chen! How can I not be furious?" Ye Fan seethed, his temper flaring like a powder keg waiting to blow.
"I should've never listened to you! I should have given Chu Yanran that Forgetting Emotion Powder and taken her to bed ages ago! Now look what's happened. That witch's innocence went to waste on that useless Su Chen!" he fumed, his voice filled with bitter hatred and anger. "Damn it, Chu Yanran! And Su Chen, you worthless scum—I'll make you both pay!"
Chu Yanran trembled in anger as she listened. So this disciple she'd taken under her wing was nothing but a treacherous fiend? All along, he'd been eyeing her, his own master, with impure thoughts!
If not for Su Chen, she would've never known she had been raising a wolf in her midst.
The projection continued.
"Little Fan…" Luo Shen sighed at Ye Fan's rage. "You're still young. There will be many opportunities ahead."
"Luo Aunt, why didn't you answer me when I called for you before?" Ye Fan demanded, his eyes blazing.
Luo Shen hesitated, at a loss for words.
"Are you abandoning me, like that bitch Chu Yanran?" Tears rolled down Ye Fan's face, but a sly smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
Damn! Su Chen cursed internally. What a shameless act!
In the projection, Luo Shen's expression softened, both pained and regretful. "Little Fan, I was wrong. A powerful force descended upon the hall, and I could not appear. I am, after all, merely a remnant soul, far from my former power. Against a Great Saint expert, I couldn't guarantee success."
Hearing this, Ye Fan seemed to calm down slightly, his brows furrowing. "I didn't expect the Su family to have such depth, even sending a Great Saint to protect that trash Su Chen."
Facing such a behemoth of a clan, he felt powerless, lost.
Was he really supposed to give up on Chu Yanran and watch Su Chen humiliate her?
The image of Chu Yanran yielding to Su Chen gnawed at him, filling him with an intense urge to kill.
Seeing Ye Fan's reluctance, Luo Shen coaxed him gently. "Little Fan, remember, in this world, strength is the only truth. Women are like clothes—if you have enough power, you can have any woman you desire."
She continued, "I know you can't bear to part with Chu Yanran, but once your strength grows, you can return to the Su family and reclaim her as your own."
Ye Fan's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, but it quickly dimmed.
"But even if I get her back, she'll just be Su Chen's leftovers…"
It was clear he hadn't fully moved past his inner conflict.
"Heh…" Luo Shen chuckled softly.
"Oh, Little Fan, you're so innocent."
"What do you mean, Aunt Luo?" Ye Fan looked up, as clueless as a schoolboy.
Luo Shen looked at him with an amused smile. "While virgins are sweet, they're like unripe apples—sour and hard. Experienced women are the real treasures, ripe as a juicy peach, full of flavor and satisfying to the core."
"The stronger you get, the tighter they cling…"
Listening to Luo Shen's persuasive words, Ye Fan's eyes sparkled, as though he'd seen the light.
If Su Chen could openly claim Chu Yanran as his concubine and the entire Celestial Sword Sect didn't dare utter a word of protest, it was because of the Su family's power. If he himself could rise fast enough, one day, he could trample the entire Su family beneath his feet!
And then, the women of the entire Sky Profound Continent would be his for the taking.
With that thought, an unquenchable flame of ambition ignited within Ye Fan. He grinned, his resolve clear. "Chu Yanran, you vile wench, just wait! Someday, I'll make you submit beneath me!"
Seeing his renewed determination, Luo Shen's eyes sparkled. She was pleased to see Ye Fan's confidence returning. She owed this moment to Su Chen.
As someone who had lived through similar experiences, she knew how intoxicating a taste of power could be for a man. Once they took that first bite, they only craved more, sinking deeper.
A glimmer of cunning danced in Luo Shen's eyes, her lips curling into a sly smile.
After all, her rebirth still required Ye Fan's help.
And she was curious to see if this incident would change him entirely.
