Chapter 2: The Sleeping Arch-Enemy The sound of trickling water from the bathroom broke the deathly silence in the room. Wen Jingheng’s bedroom included a rather spacious bathroom, and Shu Yijin was currently standing at the sink, meticulously washing the glaring rose-red stain from his fingertips. The cold water washed over his skin, carrying away the flower juice, and also carrying away the momentary, almost instinctive urge for destruction that had leaked out. He looked up at his reflection in the…

Chapter 19: Curse Transfer The golden light seeping through the crack in the door was almost tangible, illuminating the entire hallway as if it were midday. The holy and magnificent energy fluctuation, carrying undeniable majesty and wrath, seemed to freeze the air. Several men in black were startled by this sudden change and retreated repeatedly, their eyes filled with terror and disbelief. “This… is this Young Master’s power?” The voice of the leading man in black trembled, and the light from…

Chapter 18: Encirclement and Protection Shu Yijin’s “Prohibition” acted like an invisible barrier, turning Wen Jingheng’s room into an isolated island. The following days were unusually calm. Shu Qing never appeared again, and even the subtle, lingering gazes of the Wen Family seemed to vanish. But Shu Yijin knew this tranquility was merely the prelude to a storm. The Elder Council would never let the matter rest. Although he had managed to fend off their probing attempt that day, it had…

Chapter 17: The Silent Guardian Wen Jingheng’s consciousness drifted in the darkness, like a speck of dust lost in the boundless universe. Time lost its meaning, space dissolved into nothingness, and only eternal silence enveloped him. However, at some unknown point, a coordinate appeared in this deadly silence—a stable and warm presence, like the only North Star in the night sky, guiding his direction. That was Shu Yijin. Initially, it was just a faint voice, gently penetrating layers of…

Chapter 16: In the Heat of the Moment The Elder Council’s probing retreated like a tide, leaving only the rhythmic beeping of medical equipment in the bedroom. Shu Yijin slumped in the armchair, feeling as if all his strength had been drained. The heart-stopping confrontation he had just endured, though ending in his painful victory, had exacted a price far exceeding his expectations. Forcibly suppressing the Holy Energy erupting within Wen Jingheng was like using flesh and blood to block a mountain…

Chapter 15: Forced Test That energy fluctuation, carrying malice, was like a poisonous miasma silently spreading in the night, precisely locking onto the location of Wen Jingheng’s bedroom. It didn't attack directly; instead, it began to infiltrate and entangle in an extremely subtle manner, attempting to stimulate something dormant. Shu Yijin lay on the guest room bed, eyes closed, breathing steady, as if still sound asleep. However, his entire divine consciousness was highly concentrated, like the…

Chapter 14: Clouds of Suspicion The brief but fierce energy storm in the hot spring pool was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, the ripples quickly spreading to the most secretive corners of the Wen Family estate. Shu Yijin suppressed the churning qi and blood in his body and immediately locked himself in his room. He sat cross-legged in a corner far from Wen Jingheng, focusing entirely on regulating his breath and suppressing the backlash caused by the violent oscillation of the nearly…

Chapter 13: Shared Hot Spring Bath Shu Yijin’s investigation into the Wen Family’s internal secret forces was like weaving an invisible net in the dark, requiring immense patience and precise control. He was not eager for quick success; instead, like the most seasoned hunter, he laid out bait bit by bit, observing the prey’s reactions. Simultaneously, he never relaxed his main mission of breaking the Seal within Wen Jingheng’s body. The planting of the Black Rose mark established a stable energy…

Chapter 12: Undercurrents Surge The Shu Family’s not-so-clever attempt at causing trouble was like a stone dropped into a deep pool; after the ripples dissipated, the surface seemed to return to calm. But Shu Yijin knew deeply that beneath this tranquility, the undercurrents would only grow stronger. Shu Mingyuan’s cold gaze upon leaving clearly signaled that the Shu Family would not let the matter rest. And the Wen Family’s seemingly rule-abiding stance during the turmoil also conveyed a sense of…

Chapter 11: Renewed Turmoil The subtle ripple that had stirred in Shu Yijin’s heart while reading the poem that day was calmly categorized as a “phenomenon requiring observation.” He was an Ancient Existence; human familial ethics were like dust to him. The Shu Family, so-called, was merely a group of ants gathered around shared interests. He had possessed this body and inherited its karma, but he had never viewed himself as a son of the Shu Family. The constraints and demands based on blood ties…
