After the Villainess Proposed to Me - Chapter 41

“Do you now feel any heat in your body, a dry mouth, or a desire to do something with me?”

Xia Yueyun licked her cherry-red lips, eyeing the half-empty bottle of ‘otaku happiness water’ that Wu Chen had consumed, and revealed a hint of a scheming smile.

“Ah?”

Wu Chen followed Xia Yueyun’s gaze to the bottle, and his heart skipped a beat.

Damn, did this girl put something strange in my drink?

He quickly checked his body but found no unusual symptoms.

His body felt great, his appetite was good, and he could easily climb five stairs in one go without breaking a sweat!

Strange. Given her reaction, I should have been affected, but why am I not feeling anything?

Wu Chen opened the system and glanced at his status panel, soon understanding what was happening.

【Wu Chen · Level 1 · debuff Burning Desire (Immune): Attack +10%, Stamina +10%, Sanity -50%, Social Security Value +100%】

Social Security Value? Is there such a stat in the game?

But Wu Chen roughly understood the situation.

Because this was a drug from Xia Yueyun, it was automatically classified as an attack from her, and thus was neutralized by his wedding ring.

Otherwise, judging by this debuff description, he would have been turned into an emotionless social security machine.

What should he do next?

Reveal to the witch that he wasn’t affected? No, that would be a waste of an opportunity.

The fact that Xia Yunyun used this trick on him clearly showed she hadn’t given up and still wanted to marry him to gain the Mother Goddess’s powers.

In that case, why not play along?

When it comes to acting, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!

“Ugh… I suddenly feel so strange. What… what did you do to me?”

Wu Chen’s eyes darted, and he began to act.

He pretended to lose control and let go of the bottle, causing the fizzy happiness to spill and drench Xia Yueyun’s cheongsam.

The wet silk clung tightly to her skin, revealing her alluring figure in a way that was both revealing and concealing.

“Pfft, looks like you’ve fallen for it after all.”

Seeing Wu Chen’s abnormal behavior, Xia Yunyun’s eyes lit up.

“Who cares if you’re some pure love warrior? Aren’t you still going to be captured by me?”

Xia Yunyun leaned forward slightly, her graceful figure arched seductively. One small hand hooked under Wu Chen’s chin.

“Xia Yunyun… I can’t hold on any longer…”

Wu Chen pondered how to make his acting more convincing while pretending to be unbearably hot, starting to tear at his clothes.

Honestly, I’ve read plenty of scripts, but I’ve seen too few situations where men are the ones affected.

Lack of experience means improvisation is necessary.

“You want me? No problem, but before that, you have to agree to one condition of mine.”

Xia Yunyun sat on the edge of the bed, her long, slender legs in white silk stockings crossed over each other, watching Wu Chen with a smiling gaze.

Meanwhile, countless illusions of Xia Yunyun sprang forth, wearing various outfits like those from maid cafes, moving teasingly close to Wu Chen, always just out of reach.

Whenever Wu Chen tried to grab one of the illusions, it would instantly dissolve into a mist and disappear without a trace.

The room was filled with chattering and flirtation, lively and bustling.

Every time Wu Chen pretended to handle things himself, he was surrounded and pushed back by the illusions, holding his hands down.

“Whatever conditions you want, I’ll agree! I’ll agree to all of them!”

Tsk, you think this little scene is enough to make me submit? You’re underestimating Earthlings!

“It’s simple. As long as you and I become sworn husband and wife and form a marriage contract, and you hand over the Mother Goddess’s inheritance rights to me, I’ll let you do whatever you want. Isn’t that a fair deal?”

Xia Yunyun narrowed her eyes, leaned in close to Wu Chen’s ear, and blew gently, her voice dripping with allure.

Hmph, once I have the Mother Goddess’s power, you’ll be at my mercy.

“I—I already have Litia…”

Wu Chen put on a defiant expression, glaring at Xia Yueyun with indignation.

“Whatever Litia can give you, I, Xia Yunyun, can give you ten times more!”

The Full Moon Witch said, and beautiful, alluring illusions of her began to appear around Wu Chen. There were young girls, mature women, and so on, but they all had Xia Yueyun’s seductive appearance.

“Marrying me means marrying millions of wives. Isn’t that exciting enough?”

Tch, you think I can’t tell these are all illusions?

Wu Chen looked a bit irritated.

If you want to seduce me, at least bring out some real effort.

That way, I might consider you sincere.

Trying to trick me with some illusions in exchange for my non-existent inheritance of the Mother Goddess? Do you really take me for a fool?

“Xia Yunyun, I… I will never yield!”

“Even if you get my body, you’ll never have my heart!”

The lack of experience meant he had to tough it out.

In his frustration, Wu Chen had no choice but to follow the script, reciting the lines meant for the female lead in such a situation.

“I only desire your body. If I want to inherit divine power, why would I need your heart?”

Seeing Wu Chen seemingly on the verge of losing control and surrendering, Xia Yunyun flashed a triumphant smile.

Alright, with the play reaching this point, she shouldn’t be suspicious of me anymore. Now it’s time to complete the most important part of my mission!

Wu Chen could be considered both immensely strong and extremely weak at this moment.

Strong because even the most terrifying beings in this world—like the Witches of the demn race—couldn’t harm him; they could only be subservient to him.

Weak because, aside from the witch, any demon beast, even the weakest slime, could kill him with a single strike.

Only by successfully renewing the marriage contract with the witch could he regain the witch’s power boost and undergo a complete transformation!

“I can’t take it anymore!”

Seeing the timing was right, Wu Chen tore off a divine-tier wedding ring from his “Lord of the Rings” necklace.

This ring was already connected with the Full Moon Witch, and once both parties agreed, it could be reactivated.

【Eternal Dragon Heart】: It is said that the heart of the Holy Dragon is eternal and immortal, passed down through the ages. To prove her true feelings, the Dragon Goddess shared her eternal life with her beloved in a special way. Unfortunately, she was tricked by the scumbag who used it to marry other women.

Enough already! I really didn’t mean to!

Wu Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.

【Wedding Ring Effect】: The Heart of the Holy Dragon has indestructible, infinite regeneration abilities. Its wearer gains strong defensive and self-healing capabilities. After death, there is one chance for revival on the spot, even if faced with a bad end, there is still hope to survive.

Wu Chen: I don’t want a bad ending!

【Innate Skill – Sacred Armor Removal】: The Holy Dragon, master of the world’s defenses, is the god of diamonds and armor. No matter how tough the defense, it can be removed by the Holy Dragon’s innate power. Players should not use such a legendary divine skill for strange purposes, or they will face title penalties!

“Xia Yunyun, I agree to your conditions! But… you better not go back on your word!”

“Don’t worry, even if I die, I will never go back on my word.”
