211: Chapter 211 How could I possibly do as you wish?
Fatty Han felt as if he had been granted a grand pardon and didn't dare to linger for a second longer.
He scrambled away with his followers, slinking through the crowd in a sorry state, not even daring to look back.
The surrounding onlookers clapped and cheered at the sight, loudly praising Lei Han for his righteous intervention.
However, the Dark-styled beauty on the ground struggled to get up. She didn't even spare Lei Han a glance, as if the person who had just resolved the crisis wasn't him at all.
She walked straight up to Chen Yi, her eyes brimming with tears as she thanked him pitifully, "Mr. Chen Yi, thank you so much! If it weren't for you—I really wouldn't have known what to do today—"
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi sneered inwardly, becoming even more certain of his suspicion.
"As expected, her target is clear—it's me! And Fatty Han's loss of control just now definitely has something to do with her! It was probably that Fragrant Charm skill at work, wasn't it?"
Now that he knew the cause and effect, how could Chen Yi let her have her way?
He decisively pulled Lei Han over from the side, patted his shoulder, and said to the beauty, "You're thanking the wrong person! The one who actually helped you out of trouble just now was my brother here, the great Young Master Lei Han. If you're going to treat someone to a meal, you should properly thank him."
Only now did Lei Han take a careful look at this Dark-styled beauty. He found that although her face was pale, her features were extremely delicate, and her figure, wrapped in a Gothic dress, was curvaceous—a top-tier temptress.
With a bit of dressing up, she would definitely be a beauty on the same level as Yun Zhiyao!
Seeing that Chen Yi truly seemed uninterested in this beauty.
Lei Han immediately leaned forward with a grin, showing a row of white teeth: "Haha, no need to be so polite, beautiful! Helping those in need is what we Beast Tamers should do! I'm Lei Han, Lei as in lightning! I'm familiar with the dining spots around here. I know a top-tier private kitchen with a great atmosphere and amazing taste. I guarantee you'll like it!"
As the beauty looked at Lei Han, who had suddenly leaned into her face, a tiny flash of impatience flickered deep in her eyes.
"This damn playboy! Ruining my plans time and time again! My target is Chen Yi! Chen Yi!"
But on the surface, she had to maintain her pitiful, frightened persona. she forced a smile at Lei Han: "So... so it's Young Master Lei. Thank you for your help, Young Master Lei! It's just... I'm still very scared right now... Mr. Chen Yi's aura makes me feel more at ease... I wonder..."
She still wanted to pull the conversation back to Chen Yi.
But Lei Han was a straightforward guy and didn't catch the subtext at all.
He waved his hand grandly: "Hey! What's there to be afraid of? If that dead fatty dares to come back, I'll break his legs! Come, come, let's eat to calm your nerves! Brother Yi, want to join? My treat!"
Chen Yi smiled and shook his head: "You guys go ahead, there are really too many people on my side!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the group of girls behind him, whose gazes had started to become more amicable.
Wait, he just contracted Yun Zhiyao last night, and today he runs into another stunning beauty?
Did his luck with women really have to be this good?
Clearly, without the system, The girls couldn't tell this was a scripted act at all.
Or rather, if Chen Yi hadn't known beforehand that this beauty was a Demon Emperor, he couldn't guarantee he would have seen through it either.
Seeing this, the Dark-styled beauty knew that she probably wouldn't get her way today.
But she quickly resumed her weak appearance and nodded gently to Lei Han: "Then... then I'll have to trouble Young Master Lei!"
Thus, under Lei Han's enthusiastic invitation, the beauty—the incarnation of the Demon Emperor—looked back at Chen Yi every few steps as she was half-invited and half-pushed away by Lei Han.
It gave off the impression that she had already taken a liking to Chen Yi.
Watching their receding figures, the smile on Chen Yi's face gradually faded.
He stared at the blurring back, his mind racing as he pieced together the events that had occurred at Lin Qingyang's Double Wrath Gods location.
In almost an instant, he understood the whole sequence of events.
Despite the major upheaval in the Lin family, Lin Qingyang had insisted on waiting a few more minutes for Chen Yi to finish speaking. The reason for this was likely exactly what he had first guessed!
Most likely, he wanted to use the opportunity to confirm whether Chen Yi could truly see through these incarnations of the Demon Emperors.
The woman who came to deliver the news was also an incarnation of a Demon Emperor, yet Chen Yi hadn't shown any reaction.
Combined with Chen Yi's previous words, where he didn't explicitly state he could identify the true forms of the Demon Emperors, Lin Qingyang had hurriedly reported the situation to the higher-ups.
As such, the appearance of this third Demon Emperor incarnation was very likely a final test, or even a last resort!
"They want to use this 'hero saving the beauty' act to get close to me. What exactly is their motive?"
"Could it be that their goal is to control me?"
"System, can I block that Fragrant Charm with my physique? Or rather, can I sense it before I'm hit?"
[Unable to block!]
[The Fragrant Charm skill is quite special; it is the core power of the Rose Spirit. It is estimated that 1200 points of Physique are required to successfully block this move!]
[However, after being controlled, the Host can consume 10 Enhancement Points to clear the control effect without the opponent noticing!]
Hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes immediately lit up.
Then wouldn't this be like playing Infernal Affairs?
You think you've controlled me, but in fact, you haven't. On the contrary, I can even provide false guidance!
Damn, that's pretty slick!
Just then, the system sent another prompt.
[The Host can consume 500 Enhancement Points to convert a Demon Seed Contract into a normal Spirit Beast Contract, unlocking the Affinity cultivation and favorability interface!]
[With a Spirit Beast Contract converted from a Demon Seed Contract, the Host possesses the right to perfectly control their life!]
[The Host can also obtain favorability rewards by 'conquering' a Demon Emperor!]
"What the hell? System, are you kidding me?"
Chen Yi was completely stunned!
Converting a Demon Seed Contract into a Spirit Beast Contract?
And a favorability interface?
Doesn't that mean he has to do 'that kind of thing' with a Demon Emperor?
Even though those Demon Emperors have human forms and are indeed very beautiful, they are still Demon Emperors!
They are demonic beasts, they are beasts!
Chen Yi groaned inwardly.
He wasn't some guy from India; he didn't have that kind of special fetish!
However, the system remained silent at this time, seemingly waiting for Chen Yi to make his own choice.
Chen Yi scratched his head helplessly, his heart full of resignation.
Isn't it better to contract a beautiful human woman?
Why must I do this sort of thing—
He turned around, clearing away those messy thoughts, and said to The girls, "Let's go. The show's over, time for us to eat too! We'll need to step up our safety education later."
His words carried a hidden meaning, and The girls understood, nodding one after another.
They then followed Chen Yi to a nearby food stall, sat down, and began eating their late-night snack.
