The woman before him was Su Mei'er, a maid meticulously trained by Qin Xinran specifically for Su Chen.
Originally, she was meant to "awaken" him when the time was right. Now that Chu Yanran had seemingly succeeded in this endeavor, Qin Xinran was quite pleased with the results.
Seizing the moment, she decided to press on, hopeful that further efforts might yield even greater surprises.
Su Mei'er possessed the rare Heavenly Charm Physique, a unique and potent constitution suited for refining spiritual energy.
Aware of her son's particular tastes, Qin Xinran had chosen Su Mei'er with care. Eight years older than Su Chen, Su Mei'er was a formidable cultivator at the later stage of the Grand Saint Realmāan unmatched presence in the Eastern Continent. It made her the ideal candidate for Su Chen's personal guardian.
From a young age, she had been instilled with unwavering loyalty to the Su family, and her devotion to Su Chen was absolute.
Today, under Qin Xinran's orders, Su Mei'er had come to his room to serve him.
But she hadn't anticipated stumbling into such an intimate scene between Su Chen and Chu Yanran. A flush of embarrassment colored her delicate features, though she quickly composed herself.
"Young Master, the Lady instructed me to attend to you..."
As she spoke the last three words, Su Mei'er's blush deepened.
She stole a glance at Su Chen, who was staring intently at her, making her hastily lower her gaze.
"Ahemā"
Noticing her entrance, Su Chen coughed lightly, hoping to mask his own unease. He looked at the flustered Su Mei'er standing by the door. "Mei'er, help me with a shoulder massage."
An opportunity like this, why let it slip by?
Blushing, Su Mei'er closed the door softly and took small, tentative steps toward him, her delicate hands beginning to knead his shoulders.
"This rascalā¦ how can he be like this?"
Chu Yanran, nestled in Su Chen's arms, felt her face flush as well. She could already guess what Su Chen intended and silently grumbled about his shamelessness.
Su Mei'er's fingers were deft, moving expertly across Su Chen's shoulders, massaging with gentle, practiced strokes.
Her touch was meticulous and soothing.
Su Chen closed his eyes, savoring the rare comfort, a contented smile gracing his lips.
With a personal maid of Grand Saint-level strength, even the so-called 'Children of Destiny' with their protagonist halos were insignificant in comparison.
Su Mei'er's figure was undeniably alluringāher curves ample in all the right places, her bosom full and round. She was a rare beauty.
And the natural allure of her Heavenly Charm Physique only heightened her enchanting presence.
Unable to resist, Su Chen reached out, brushing a hand against her cheek.
The touch sent a shiver down Su Mei'er's spine as she felt Su Chen's intentions. She was suddenly filled with apprehension.
Ordinarily, anyone who dared act so presumptuously toward her would be dispatched without hesitation.
But now, she dared not resist.
Because it was Su Chen, her master.
Defying his commands was not an option. Besides, she owed a debt of deep gratitude to his mother, who had nurtured her, making her willingly loyal.
Even if it meant giving her life, she would accept it willingly.
"Mei'er, Yanran, let'sā¦ begin our cultivation."
Su Chen's eager expression was unmistakable, his hands rubbing together in anticipation as he made his way to the bed.
Seeing this, Su Mei'er and Chu Yanran had no choice but to obediently follow. They knew there was no escape.
Two hours laterā¦
"The Heavenly Charm Physique really is incredible!"
Su Chen could feel his spiritual power brimming within him, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
He had broken through, advancing from the seventh level of the Dao Palace Realm to the pinnacle of the realm, just a step away from reaching the Divine Ability Realm.
Gazing at Chu Yanran and Su Mei'er, their faces flushed and lips parted with labored breaths, he could tell they had put immense effort into their training.
The saying goes, "Only an ox will exhaust itself to death in plowing, never the field itself." Yet, with Su Chen, the opposite seemed true.
Even so, both women had gained considerable benefits as well.
To her astonishment, Chu Yanran realized that Su Chen possessed the Yang Flame Physique. After all, just yesterday, when she'd assisted in his enlightenment, he had seemed like an ordinary mortal.
Could it be that Su Mei'er's Heavenly Charm Physique had somehow awakened Su Chen's own Yang Flame Physique?
Pondering this, Chu Yanran was full of speculation.
Yet, her guess was mistaken. It all stemmed from the Demon God's legacy within him.
"Young Master, this servant will take her leave now."
After assisting Su Chen with some final touches, Su Mei'er respectfully excused herself.
Watching her retreating figure, Su Chen's lips curved into a smug grin.
Being born into an elite family was indeed satisfyingāable to indulge in any desire, with rare beauties like Su Mei'er obediently at his side.
In the original story, the idiotic author had stripped him of his intelligence, forcing him to play the fool, a servile lackey repeatedly humiliated by Ye Fan. And in the end, he was even killed.
Absurd! Now, he was here to show the readers that villains could crush protagonists as easily as stepping on a bug.
Hah! Cursed author!

The Next Day.
In the Xia Residence.
Since her return yesterday, Xia Qingxue had secluded herself in her quarters.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
Sitting at her vanity, she propped her chin on her hands, anxiety and frustration consuming her thoughts.
Memories of yesterday's confrontation on the bustling street flashed vividly in her mind, impossible to ignore.
Su Chen had slapped her in public over another woman and had even declared he'd personally come today to annul their engagement. Her reputation was in shambles; she had become the laughingstock of the capital.
She was livid. Why had Su Chen suddenly stopped fawning over her?
Did he find her unattractive?
But she was undeniably beautiful!
Looking into the mirror at her flawless, delicate face, Xia Qingxue felt an overwhelming sense of grievance. Gritting her teeth, she muttered, "Su Chen, you bastard! Just what about me isn't good enough for you? How dare you reject me!"
Her voice, tinged with the sobs of wounded pride, made her appear even more vulnerable, like a heartbroken young woman abandoned by love.
Just then, her maid Xiaohuan burst into the room, her face pale with urgency.
"Young Mistressā¦"
Gasping for breath, Xiaohuan stammered, "Master asked me to fetch you. He wants you in the flower hall."
"What's going on?" Xia Qingxue asked in alarm.
"It'sā¦ the Su family's young master. He's here."
"Su Chen!"
At the news, a glimmer of hope brightened Xia Qingxue's eyes. "I knew it. He wouldn't abandon me."
This had happened countless times before. She would anger Su Chen one day, and the next, he would come in person, begging her forgiveness.
While his groveling irritated her, making her look down on him even more, there was also a satisfaction in seeing him reduced to such a pathetic state. It meant he valued her; otherwise, he wouldn't humiliate himself to such an extent.
She reveled in the power to make him grovel.
"Xiaohuan, fetch me my best dress and style my hair beautifully."
Standing up, she instructed her maid, before sitting back at her vanity, inspecting her stunning reflection.
Yes, she was confident in her beauty.
She believed she surpassed all the young ladies of the capital by several degrees.
"Young Mistressā¦"
Xiaohuan hesitated, looking as though she had more to say.
