Chapter 25:
Chapter 25: You Scheming Devil, Your Year-End Bonus Just Doubled!
“Right, I still have over seventy thousand Destiny Points left. I’ll set aside thirty thousand for identification fees—let’s spend the rest on ten consecutive draws.”
Before leaving, Shen Anyu thought for a moment and decided to draw one more round of rewards.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve received a purple reward: Innate Realm cultivation!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve received a purple reward: Innate Realm cultivation!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve received a purple reward: Top-tier Bartending Skill!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve received a purple reward: Top-tier Dance Skill!]
…
“You trash system, ruining my youth!”
Shen Anyu couldn’t hold back anymore. Seeing he still had over thirty-one thousand Destiny Points, he muttered, “Single draws create miracles. System, give me something good!”
In the blink of an eye, a mysterious and profound divine light flashed before Shen Anyu’s eyes.
He was moved.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve received a divine reward: Storage Ring!]
“System—no, dear System—you’ve finally made me proud! Thumbs up for you!”
Shen Anyu was overjoyed. A storage ring was an absolute must-have for killing, looting, or traveling. At last, he had one.
With a single thought, a quaint, mysterious white jade ring appeared on his finger.
With his Grandmaster Realm cultivation, Shen Anyu could now barely use spiritual force to probe inside. A spatial area nearly a hundred meters wide unfolded within. Though it couldn’t store living beings, it seemed to be unaffected by the flow of time.
“I’ll stuff a batch of firearms in here later—just in case.”
Shen Anyu narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
“Also, some uniforms, stockings… gotta have those too!”
“System, open the panel.”
As he spoke, a waterfall of data appeared in front of him.

[Destiny Points:]
[Title: Supreme Villain of Destiny]
…
“Huh? Something’s off—why do I still have over three hundred thousand Destiny Points?”
Shen Anyu stared at the system panel, baffled.
He had estimated he’d be down to about thirty thousand points. Where did this extra two hundred seventy thousand come from??
Why does Ruan Lingshan have 80 affection?
When did that happen?
Did he lose his memory? He hadn’t even officially met her, right?
Shen Anyu immediately checked the system logs.
[Ding! Detected that Destiny Female Lead Ruan Lingshan’s affection +80. Plundering +Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Detected that Destiny Female Lead Ruan Lingshan’s total affection is now 80. Plundering +Destiny Points!]
“This was yesterday’s reward prompt… Yesterday I was…”
Shen Anyu rubbed his chin. What had he been doing yesterday?
No idea. Just remembered he was ‘down there.’
“Why would Ruan Lingshan have an affection rating of 80? I haven’t even met her. Could it be that He Ying already recruited her?”
He immediately called his female housekeeper, He Ying, to inquire.
Previously, when he went to Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company in the Magic Capital, he had instructed He Ying to recruit Ruan Lingshan as his private nurse.
On the other end of the call came He Ying’s respectful voice.
“Young Master, yesterday I recruited Ruan Lingshan as your private nurse in your name.”
“A monthly salary of 100,000, and we advanced her five million!”
“Her mother suffers from uremia and needs an organ transplant. The treatment costs are astronomical.”
“After receiving the five million and learning it was from you, she couldn’t refuse. In fact, she developed deep admiration.”
He Ying chuckled slightly and added, “Young Master, you may not know this, but you’ve become a national male idol online.”
“Countless girls now dream of Young Master Shen.”
“Ruan Lingshan is one of them. When she found out you personally requested her, she was beyond flattered.”
“She’s already reporting for work at the riverside mansion and is very eager to meet you—to thank you in person.”
However, hearing He Ying’s explanation, Shen Anyu raised an eyebrow and smirked.
“It’s not that simple, is it?”
Ruan Lingshan was a Destiny Female Lead—how could she so easily develop 80 affection?
Even if Young Master Shen’s reputation was blowing up online like a national heartthrob…
Ruan Lingshan wasn’t some lovestruck fool. How could someone who hadn’t even met him have 80 affection?
Most ordinary couples don’t even have 80. Having 60 would already be considered a lot.
An affection level of 80 meant she’d stay with you through poverty and wealth, never leaving.
Above 90 meant she’d live and die with you.
He Ying paused, then admitted,
“Young Master is truly wise—I couldn’t hide it from you!”
“I had the Magic Capital First People’s Hospital kick out her mother and fire her from her job.”
“At her lowest moment, I arrived carrying your will—like a savior descending from the heavens.”
Shen Anyu laughed and scolded, “You little schemer, playing tricks like this?”
“Your year-end bonus just doubled!”
After hanging up, Shen Anyu thought it over and decided to first meet Ruan Lingshan—the sweet girl-next-door childhood friend of Xia Liu—before visiting Su Hongmian.
He had seen her photo before: baby-faced, petite, only 156cm tall, like a giant plush doll, someone you’d want to hug all day.
Soon, Shen Anyu was driving his Rolls-Royce single-handedly back to his luxury riverside mansion in the Magic Capital.
As soon as he entered his villa, he saw a petite figure standing respectfully before him.
“Master, welcome home.”
A soft, shy voice greeted him.
Shen Anyu looked up and couldn’t help but praise the sight before him.
Standing there was the very definition of a top-tier maid!
She wore a black-and-white lace maid outfit with very little fabric up top.
Her slender, shapely legs were wrapped tightly in white stockings.
Especially that exposed ‘absolute territory’ above her thighs—paler and smoother than the stockings themselves—captivating beyond words.
Ruan Lingshan’s little face was blushing red, but she made no attempt to stop Shen Anyu from admiring her. Her pink lips parted slightly, and in a shy, sweet voice, she said,
“Master, let me help you undress and change your shoes.”
“Alright.”
As a top-tier aristocrat, Shen Anyu had no need to act reserved. He graciously accepted the maid’s service.
Once he had changed into a loose and comfortable outfit, Shen Anyu showed a warm, sunny smile and looked at Ruan Lingshan.
“Lingshan, how’s your mother’s condition?”
Ruan Lingshan looked at him with teary eyes, clearly moved, and said with a trembling voice,
“She’s very ill… But thanks to you, Master, we have hope now.”
“The five million is enough for the organ transplant and follow-up treatments.”
“It’s just that…”
At this point, tears spilled from her eyes.
“The doctor said the chances of success are very low. Less than one in ten…”
Shen Anyu gently patted her snowy-white back, comforting her warmly.
“Don’t worry. Even if it takes ten million or a hundred million, I’ll save your mother!”
“In the name of the Shen family of Yanxia, I can invite even the top divine doctors in the world!”
Ruan Lingshan looked up at him with glistening eyes, completely unfazed by the hand on her back, and asked tearfully,
“Master, why are you so good to Lingshan?”
Shen Anyu spoke gently, sincerely, with warmth and light in his eyes.
“Such a good girl like you—do I need a reason to be kind to you?”
“Be good, don’t cry. I hope you never shed tears for the rest of your life.”
As he spoke, Shen Anyu gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Master… sob sob sob…”
Ruan Lingshan trembled, then threw herself into Shen Anyu’s arms, crying uncontrollably.
Shen Anyu embraced her softly, his lips curling into a slight smile…
