Lin Anyi couldn't help but imagine whether Yae Shenzi would transform into a charming fox and take him away from this place quickly. However, just as he was immersed in this conjecture, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of metal colliding. At the same time, he felt a cold touch on his wrist.
"What is this?" Lin Anyi was startled, and his instinctive uneasiness made him open his eyes instantly.
The first thing he caught sight of was Yae Shenzi's face, which was filled with a smug smile that was completely different from before. Then, he looked down and saw a pair of silver handcuffs shining with cold light fastened around his wrist.
At this moment, Lin Anyi's face turned pale instantly. The shock and betrayal in his heart left him almost speechless.
"Sister Shenzi, why are you...?" Lin Anyi's voice trembled with disbelief, his eyes full of disappointment and pain. He couldn't believe that the lifesaver in front of him would treat him like this!
Yae Shenzi smiled without saying a word. Her hand suddenly exerted force, pushing Lin Anyi to the cold ground. His back hit the floor with a dull thud, pain and surprise intertwining in his expression. His eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
"Speaking of which, Anyi, you don't know where this is yet, do you?" Yae Shenzi's tone was strangely relaxed, as if she were talking about something trivial.
Lin Anyi painfully climbed up from the ground and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is this?"
Yae Shenzi smiled gently. "This is a basement I just bought in Fontaine, specially prepared for you~."
Lin Anyi's heart sank, his worst fears confirmed. His voice was filled with confusion and anger. "Why? Why would you do this?"
"Sorry, Anyi," Yae Shenzi's voice suddenly softened, though it carried a hint of fanaticism. She continued, "Since Funina can't protect you, isn't it reasonable for me to monopolize you now?"
As she spoke, she leaned over and gently lifted Lin Anyi's chin. Her eyes flashed with an unyielding determination as she slowly approached his face.
Lin Anyi looked into Yae Shenzi's eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. His pupils gradually widened in deep fear. Even in despair, Lin Anyi tried to struggle.
"Calm down, Sister Shenzi. Stop it, no!" he pleaded.
However, Yae Shenzi's smile only grew stronger. "You know, Anyi, when a boy says no, it means yes~," she teased. "You were shouting so loudly just now; are you looking forward to what I'll do next?"
As soon as these words left her lips, the atmosphere in the basement grew overwhelmingly tense. Lin Anyi panicked and attempted to defend himself. His voice was eager and filled with anxiety.
"Wait a minute! I don't mean that at all! Sister Shenzi, calm down and listen to me—"
But before he could finish, Yae Shenzi quickly closed the distance between them, giving him no chance to react. Her lips sealed his words. Lin Anyi felt a cool, soft touch covering his lips, followed by the intrusion of a hot tongue exploring his mouth without hesitation.
Yae Shenzi's usual elegant demeanor was now replaced by inner fierceness and unrestrained enthusiasm. She seemed determined to completely conquer Lin Anyi under her charm, giving him no opportunity to resist as she maintained control of their intimate contact.
Although Lin Anyi instinctively wanted to resist, Yae Shenzi's approach was like a vortex of ice and fire. Passion and coldness intertwined, persistently eroding his will. Her wave after wave of fervent advances gradually sapped his ability to resist.
Seeing Lin Anyi beginning to waver, Yae Shenzi seized the opportunity. She took his hand and guided it to herself. Feeling her guiding his palm to the softness and warmth of her body, Lin Anyi's heart raced uncontrollably, and his mind became muddled. For someone used to Funina's tablet-like physique, this new sensation was undoubtedly a fatal temptation.
As time went on, Lin Anyi's struggles weakened. His body grew limp, his mind blurred, and Yae Shenzi's influence enveloped him like a chronic poison, trapping him inescapably and drawing him deeper into her grasp.
In the storm of chaos and overpowering sensations, Yae Shenzi's triumphant laughter echoed through the basement. Lin Anyi was utterly overwhelmed by the sudden passion, and his consciousness gradually faded into obscurity...

"Ah!"
Lin Anyi, who had fallen on the sofa, suddenly sat up. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead. His face flushed unnaturally, and his eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
Looking around, he realized that he was still in his own living room, not in the cold and damp basement. This realization only deepened his inner confusion.
"What's going on? What just happened..." Lin Anyi muttered to himself, his voice trembling. Recalling the experience of being toyed with by Yae Shenzi, his eyes reflected his growing panic and disbelief.
At that moment, Yae Shenzi's gentle voice broke the silence:
"An Yi, are you okay?"
Her tone was filled with concern and worry, and her eyes held a sincere sense of pity.
Startled by her voice, Lin Anyi's body retreated instinctively. His eyes flashed with vigilance as he exclaimed, "Don't come any closer!"
Yae Shenzi appeared surprised, her brows furrowing slightly. A subtle, complex emotion flickered in her gaze before she responded softly:
"An Yi, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
She continued, her tone soothing: "Didn't you say you were going to get me a drink? But for some reason, you suddenly fainted, so I helped you to the sofa."
Lin Anyi was stunned for a moment by her explanation.
"So... is that what happened?" His voice carried a mix of doubt and incredulity. He touched his forehead, trying to make sense of everything, but his thoughts remained chaotic.
Yae Shenzi approached him lightly, her expression filled with concern. She gently reached out to touch his shoulder, her voice calm and comforting:
"An Yi, you really scared me just now. I thought that bad woman Alechino had left some kind of hypnotic influence on you."
Her words seemed to provide Lin Anyi with a plausible explanation. Slowly, a look of relief replaced his earlier panic.
"So that's how it is. What I just experienced might really just be an illusion caused by hypnosis," Lin Anyi whispered, his voice filled with tentative acceptance as his eyes gradually regained their calm.
"If it was really an illusion, that could explain those bizarre scenes," he continued to reason to himself. "Appearing in the basement without any signs and then suddenly returning home— all of it was too unreasonable."
