Chapter 156: [A Crossbreed, Huh?]
"...Shut the hell up!!"
Chen Yan was getting irritated by Lin Xianyu's crying and whining, and couldn't help but shout at her.
"...Hic!" Lin Xianyu looked up, her eyes filled with fear and indignation, and tried to suppress her crying but ended up hiccuping instead.
"..."
"..."
The two locked eyes. Chen Yan took a deep breath, trying to maintain a stern expression, and said in a deep voice, "Stop making noise! Just answer what I ask, and if I don't ask, don't shout... And no more crying!
If you behave, I won't kill you!"
"...Ooh!" Lin Xianyu widened her eyes as she turned her gaze, her face showing a mix of fear and indignation. Hastily, she got up from the ground, her expression conflicted as if she had made some big decision.
Lin Xianyu timidly said, "I—I'll behave, I'll be good... Immortal, rest assured, I—I understand! I get it!"
She tried to brace herself as she slowly moved closer to Chen Yan, reaching out to grab his arm, clumsily embracing it against her chest...
"Immortal, rest assured, I understand, I understand!"
Chen Yan was taken aback, just great!
After a moment of silence, Chen Yan yanked his arm free, stepping back a couple of steps: "What are you doing!"
"I—I get it!" Lin Xianyu looked a bit flustered, "Didn't the Immortal want me to behave, I—I..."
What the hell do you understand!
Chen Yan cursed in his heart.
"Immortal, you look so majestic, incredibly handsome, one in a million, your aura is breathtaking... This little girl, though plain, fell for you at first sight and is willing to serve you with her life..."
Lin Xianyu quickly said, trying to get close again.
"Get away from me!"
Chen Yan pushed the demoness aside, pointing at her, "Stand still!"
"No! I really want to serve you willingly! I'm very obedient!"
Nonsense!!
Chen Yan rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Saying all these sweet words, yet your face looks as if you're enduring humiliation, like a martyr. What's that about?!
No way! What the hell am I even thinking! I have no such intentions!!
"Back off! Back! Keep backing! More back! Yes! Back to the corner! Squat down, hug your head!! Stay there and don't move!"
"Immortal, do you like this... position?" Lin Xianyu squatting in the corner hugging her head, looked up at Chen Yan with blinking eyes.
"Get lost!" Chen Yan glared and shouted angrily.
Don't come near me for crying out loud! You stink, didn't you realize you just peed yourself?!
Catching his breath, he sat back down on the sofa, shifting a bit further away from the puddle on the floor.
"How long have you been in this world?"
"...I was brought into this world right after I was born."
"So how old are you actually this year?"
"Sixty."
Chen Yan glanced at the demoness.
Sixty, already at retirement age!
If Lin Xianyu's fans knew that the one flaunting on stage with big white legs is a sixty-year-old granny, what would they think?
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Never!" Lin Xianyu teared up indignantly, "I never dared to hurt anyone."
Chen Yan nodded, he could tell this from her aura, there was no evil qi which indicated she hadn't committed any killings.
"Then... have you done any bad things?"
Lin Xianyu blinked her eyes, "Does tax evasion count?"
"It counts!" Chen Yan glared, then added, "But that's none of my business."
Tax evasion... It's rampant in the entertainment industry.
"Any other bad things?"
"Um, underhanded contracts?" Lin Xianyu continued to blink her eyes, "There were two films, the contracts stated ten million, but under a different name, I got thirty million for myself."
"Anything else?"
"And... money laundering? Falsified costs? Let me think..."
"No! Wait a minute! Those things are not my concern." Chen Yan sighed, staring at Lin Xianyu, "Have you ever used your cultivation to do something bad?"
Lin Xianyu looked timidly at Chen Yan, "Bad things... Bad things... Using cultivation for self-preservation, is that bad?"
"Self-preservation... depends on what extent you mean."
"When I first debuted, a big shot wanted to sleep with me. He was ugly, fat, and greasy, how could I ever fancy him? So I used some tricks."
Chen Yan looked at the demoness, "What tricks, what did you do?"
"He harassed me, so I put a spell on him, um..." Lin Xianyu stammered, "Made him have nightmares for days on end, bewitched by a spell... After a month of nightmares, he, he..."
"Then what happened to him?" Chen Yan asked.
"He turned. Now he's my bestie..."
Holy shit! Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
How vicious!
But then again...
Turning someone isn't that over-the-top—within the entertainment industry, it's pretty standard procedure.
"You can cast charm spells?" Chen Yan asked the main question.
While watching Lin Xianyu's performance today, he sensed an enchanting power as this woman's every move on stage radiated a compelling allure.
She's just like a succubus, with a buff.
Her human form is originally of the seductive type, with an exceptional face and body.
But tastes in beauty vary, some people may like her type, while others do not.
However, a charm spell could forcibly smooth out these differences—even if you don't fancy Lin Xianyu's appearance, once you see her performance and fall under her charm spell, you would find her appealing and be moved.
