Chapter 188: Love Potion?

"All right."

"Here are the photos."

"Everyone, feel free to take one."

Shen Yu casually took the group photo.

His expression became oddly strange.

He remembered that back in Future Station, when he entered Door 7, he had seen three scenes.

The scene of himself sitting on the plane.

The scene of himself sincerely interacting with Sandy in the train carriage.

Those scenes had indeed all come true.

Then there was still one.

The scene of himself in the bathroom, bound by chains.

What was that?

Shen Yu vaguely felt repelled by it.

Yet at the same time, he was filled with anticipation.

"Do you want some dessert after the meal?"

Suddenly, after cleaning up the photos, Meilin asked.

Although she was cold as ice, when she took out three small cakes from her pocket, her face became unusually shy.

"I made these at home."

"You want to try?"

"Oh."

"You can make cakes too?"

Menloa teased and reached for one of the cakes.

Smack!

The next moment, his large hand was slapped away.

Meilin glared at him.

"Don’t take the red cake."

"That’s for Shen Yu."

"You eat the green one."

Among the three cakes, the most beautiful one was the red cake, decorated with dragon fruit.

The other two were a green cream cake and an ordinary black chocolate cake.

Menloa pouted.

Reluctantly, he grabbed the green cake and began eating it hastily.

"The taste..."

"It’s just okay."

He said it with a hint of resentment.

His eyes remained fixed on the red cake meant for Shen Yu.

Shen Yu smiled.

"It’s fine."

"I can’t eat too much."

"But you still have to eat."

When Shen Yu said this, Meilin immediately unwrapped the red cake and handed it to him.

Shen Yu gave her a suspicious look.

He directly touched the cream layer on the cake with his finger and put it into his mouth.

"Mmm."

The first taste was rich with cream.

But then an inexplicable alcoholic warmth spread through his mouth.

Shen Yu pressed his lips together.

A surge of heat spread through his body.

His head actually became a little dizzy.

"Ah..."

"I feel like I want to sleep."

"You guys keep eating and drinking."

"I’ll find a hotel to nap for a bit."

"Hahaha!"

"Shen Yu."

"Is that all the alcohol you can handle?"

Menloa mocked Shen Yu, his gaze still fixed on the red cake.

Meilin, on the other hand, suddenly wrapped her arms around Shen Yu.

A gleam of secret joy flashed through her eyes.

"I..."

"I’ll see you off."

"All right."

The man was supported by the woman.

The two swayed out of the booth and walked toward a hotel.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Once the two had walked farther and farther away, Menloa licked his lips.

He grabbed the remaining two cakes from the table and sent them straight into his mouth.

"Poof!"

"Meilin, your baking skills aren’t that great."

He continued complaining about Meilin’s cooking while eating.

Menloa burped and was about to lie down and savor the sweetness of the cake.

Suddenly—

A fire seemed to ignite inside his body.

It spread rapidly.

"Hot!"

A burning heat surged through his entire body.

"Damn!"

"Is this the legendary Valentine’s Day Fever Cake?"

"Meilin, you’ve really done it!"

"Damn it!"

In a hurry, Menloa rushed to the bathroom, clutching his throat.

On the other side, Meilin had delivered the unconscious Shen Yu to the hotel.

The moment they entered the room, the cold mask she had been wearing disappeared.

She leaned over Shen Yu, her face flushed with satisfaction.

The earlier coldness vanished completely.

In her eyes remained only an ecstatic desire to possess him.

"Finally..."

"I got him."

"Finally, Shen Yu."

"If I can’t have your heart..."

"Can I have your body?"

She opened her gray coat.

Underneath, she was wearing only a bikini.

It seemed she had planned this all along, deliberately wearing only an outer coat.

"Poof!"

"Today, let me taste this best dish properly."

"Shen Yu..."

"When the medicine kicks in, I hope you don’t treat me like a human."

She leaned closer.

She was about to continue when a sudden coldness struck her back.

The warm lights in the room flickered.

The atmosphere suddenly began transforming into something resembling a sick room.

"What?"

Meilin’s face changed in shock.

"Who?"

"Who is it?"

Boom!

Before she could finish, the bed beneath Shen Yu suddenly sank.

It enclosed him like a coffin.

The heavy bedboard pressed toward the floor, causing cracks to spread across the ground.

"Who?"

Boom! Boom!

Amid Meilin’s horrified screams, the walls of the hotel room cracked.

Dust began falling from above.

It was as though the entire room was about to collapse.

"Shen Yu!"

"Hey, Shen Yu!"

Meilin still wanted to drag him away.

Boom!

The ceiling suddenly collapsed.

"Ah!"

The next moment, the bedboard inexplicably shattered into two pieces, separating Shen Yu and Meilin.

One on the left.

The other on the right.

As the collapsing room shook, the bedboards were crushed beneath giant rocks, trapping them on opposite sides.

"Shen Yu!"

Meilin continued screaming.

At the same time, her Absolute Luck activated again.

The stone slabs falling from the ceiling strangely stacked into a triangle, trapping her safely in the corner of the room.

Yet she wasn’t injured in the slightest.

Boom! Boom!

On Shen Yu’s side, he lay still on the bed.

He remained motionless, letting the stones press down on the collapsed bed frame.

Grains of sand fell onto his face.

His face was flushed.

His breathing grew increasingly hot.

After a while—

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

The stones accumulated for some time.

Then, mysteriously, they vanished.

Yang Jin’s figure appeared inside the hotel.

She slowly picked up Shen Yu and looked curiously at Meilin, who was crouching in the corner.

"Oh."

"The illusion didn’t scare you to death."

"This woman..."

"She’s something."

"Jinjin, she’s Shen Yu’s friend."

"Isn’t it bad to treat her like this?"

A red figure also slowly appeared.

Yun Han was chewing on a skewer of hot meat.

"Tsk."

"Just because she’s Shen Yu’s friend, I can’t use the fully developed ghost trick on her?"

"The fox spirit who drugged him?"

"Scaring her is enough."

"Trying to steal my man."

"Does she even deserve it?"

Hugging Shen Yu, Yang Jin quickly left the hotel.

Not long after—

Boom! Boom!

As the illusion effect wore off, Meilin’s worried expression instantly turned into anger.

"Damn!"

"Is this the ability to create illusions?"

"Is this Shen Yu’s doing?"

"He hasn’t been asleep!"

"Damn, damn, Shen Yu!"

"You wait."

"I will eat you sooner or later."

"Sooner or later."

Night.

Dim like water.

In a high-end hotel on Ax Mountain, Yang Jin and Yun Han, exhausted, were lying in Shen Yu’s arms.

Both women admired his now rosy face.

"Shen Yu..."

"Why are you so amazing today?"

"Brother Shen Yu, you’re so exaggerated."

"Ha?"

"What?"

"What did I do?"

"You just fell asleep."

"But you still ended up on top of me and Jinjin three times."

"That’s three times for each of us."

"Ha?"

Just as Shen Yu was confused, Sandy’s voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Looks like someone’s plan has backfired."

"She’s made them her wedding dress."

Shen Yu’s mind suddenly jolted awake.

He finally realized what was going on.

He slapped his forehead in frustration and quickly sent a message to Menloa.

"Bro, I’m out."

"Tell MacKaylin we’ll meet again if there’s a chance."

The message was sent.

But there was no response for a long time.

Half an hour later—

"Damn."

"This woman’s got a wicked mind."

"She actually drugged the cake."

"I flew several times before I passed out."

"Shen Yu, are you okay?"

"Ah, sorry to disturb you."

"I’m fine."

"Ah, I get it now."

"You’ve let Sandy get away with it, right?"

"All right, all right."

"That’s how it should be."

Shen Yu ignored the situation with Menloa.

He simply held onto the two women and slept for a full day and night.

The day after the next, Shen Yu returned to Jochi City by the Han Kingdom cruise ship.

A few days later, after being repeatedly drained back at the base villa, he finally heard a familiar, solemn voice one night.
