Chapter 144

Yan Chuyao said all the nice things, but the goddess still refused to reappear.

He looked at the blank painting again and again, repeatedly confirming that he had really encountered a supernatural event, and that the protagonist of the event was the goddess who drove him crazy. Finally, he left the scene with a mixture of excitement and helplessness.

Yan Chuyao went to Lu Yichen's room again. "Tell me! What exactly happened?"

Completely different from his gentle and sunny demeanor with the goddess, Yan Chuyao's face turned stern and aggressive.

"What? What's going on?" Lu Yichen asked, completely bewildered.

Yan Chuyao instantly grabbed Lu Yichen by the collar and pulled him off the bed. "Stop playing dumb with me! The goddess in the painting can come out? Was that the goddess giving you a hickey just now?"

At this point, Yan Chuyao looked jealous. He could now accept that ghosts and gods really existed in this world, but he couldn't accept that the goddess in the painting had taken a liking to Lu Yichen and had done intimate things with him.

"How is this possible?" Lu Yichen was shocked, speechless, and incredulous. "Are you sleepwalking? That's just a painting? How could the people in the painting possibly appear?"

"I think you're so obsessed with your goddess that you're hallucinating, aren't you?"

The two had already tacitly agreed to call the beauty in the painting a goddess, and no one else was worthy of calling her goddess in the same way.

Lu Yichen looked at Yan Chuyao with the eyes of someone looking at a madman, trying to cover up what had just happened and not wanting Yan Chuyao to know about the existence of the goddess.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Rong Rong had already given herself away.

"Stop pretending. You should really go see the beauty in the painting, and how cute she is when she loses the rabbit and then disappears instantly."

Yan Chuyao grinned maliciously, his smile tinged with smugness.

He was the only one who saw such a lovely goddess, shouldn't he be proud of it?

Lu Yichen finally stopped making exaggerated expressions, helplessly rubbing his forehead, and sighed that he should have thought of it sooner. Goddesses are so easy to fool. Didn't he just trick her?

“That’s right, just like you thought.” Lu Yichen calmly sat back on the bed with his arms crossed.

"Are there really ghosts in this world? Is the goddess a ghost in the painting?" Yan Chuyao's breathing quickened as he tried to confirm the truth of the matter once again.

"She's a fairy from a painting!" Lu Yichen emphasized, coldly watching Yan Chuyao become so excited that he lost his usual cool and aloof image.

One can't help but wonder, was he like this before?

"Yes, yes! A fairy in a painting!" Yan Chuyao smiled broadly again.

At this moment, he wished he could roar to the sky and run ten or eight laps outside to vent his excited and exhilarated feelings.

But then he remembered something, and Yan Chuyao's joy vanished instantly.

"So, the goddess wanted to replenish her yin with yang energy, and she chose you?" Yan Chuyao's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen remained silent. Although he knew that absorbing yang energy to replenish yin and what the goddess did to him were completely different—one involved deep communication to absorb yang energy, while the other was just simple contact—Lu Yichen did not intend to say anything more. He deliberately wanted Yan Chuyao to misunderstand.

His tacit agreement indeed ignited Yan Chuyao's fury. Yan Chuyao growled, "Why? Are you stronger than me?"

After saying that, Yan Chuyao rolled up his sleeves, looked at Lu Yichen's slender arms, and then looked at his own arms, which were well-proportioned, strong, healthy and sexy.

He's right. If Lu Yichen is a refined and handsome young man, then Yan Chuyao is a sunny, handsome, and athletic cool guy.

Lu Yichen spends most of his time in the library, and his fair complexion is astonishing. Yan Chuyao sweats on the court every day, and his body is full of explosive power, with a unique kind of tough sexiness that belongs to boys.

Yan Chuyao stuck out his neck, his face full of indignation. He was no less impressive. In the past, there was a long line of girls pursuing him. Why did the goddess choose a weakling like Lu Yichen?

Lu Yichen smiled slightly, ignoring Yan Chuyao's almost punching gaze, and casually said, "Perhaps you're too rude, not gentlemanly enough, impolite, and don't know how to cherish women?"

"Commonly known as, 'steel straight man'?"

At this moment, Lu Yichen was only focused on mocking Yan Chuyao and had no idea that he was also one of those men who were called straight. However, compared to Yan Chuyao, he simply didn't have the word "steel."

Yan Chuyao gritted his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't refute it. It was indeed the truth. It was just that he was too arrogant and unwilling to waste time and energy on unimportant people. He also liked to argue with everyone and everything, which made the people around him keep their distance.

Thinking back to how Lu Yichen had always been more popular and likable than him since childhood, whether it was teachers, classmates, neighbors, or strangers, everyone always seemed to favor Lu Yichen.

It seems that everyone prefers a well-behaved, refined, handsome, gentlemanly, and studious boy, while he is the worst example of what not to do, and is always disliked and criticized.

If Yan Chuyao was already used to the different treatment people gave to the two of them, then at this moment, the unprecedented anger, grievance, and jealousy almost made him lose his mind.

He clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly until Yan Chuyao finally regained his cold demeanor.

"Hmph, hypocrite." Yan Chuyao sneered, "It's better if you don't come looking for me, I don't care! I can live two more years!"

"Look at you, so weak from kidney deficiency! You might kick the bucket tomorrow!"

Yan Chuyao looked Lu Yichen up and down with disdain, and under Lu Yichen's dark expression, she left Lu Yichen's room in a huff.

Back in his room, Yan Chuyao grew angrier the more he thought about it.

He had never suffered such injustice in his entire life! He was the one who first discovered the portrait, and he had personally and meticulously prepared everything the goddess owned.

He considered himself more handsome and considerate than Lu Yichen (considerate? Questionable!), so why didn't the goddess choose him? Why did she go after that weakling instead!

Finally, unable to contain his anger, Yan Chuyao quickly got up and went up to the third floor.

Seeing that the portrait had been restored to its original state, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the goddess didn't go to Lu Yichen's place again.

After hesitating for a long time, his lips opening and closing several times, Yan Chuyao finally closed his eyes, blushing, and said, "If you like absorbing yang energy, you can come find me!"

Once you get started, the rest will be much easier.

Yan Chuyao quickly rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders, showing off his biceps. "I'm much stronger than that skinny guy."

As he spoke, he clenched his right fist and pounded it twice on his left chest. "Suck as much as you want, plenty, as much as you want!"

This was the first time Yan Chuyao had ever been so reckless as to offer himself as a concubine; his desire for the goddess overcame his sense of shame.

He even forgot that he had just told Lu Yichen that he didn't care, and then turned around and started flirting and trying to woo a woman.

Rong Rong remained silent, genuinely surprised by Yan Chuyao's actions. Instead of reacting, she simply exclaimed "666!"

"Actually, absorbing Yan Chuyao's yang energy isn't bad either!"

"What do you mean?" Rong Rong asked in surprise.

666 laughed and explained to Rong Rong, "Because Yan Chuyao also has accumulated merits from past lives, and he also has a pure yang constitution!"

"Compared to the male lead, her physique is a bit weaker, but she has the advantage of sustainable development!"

In other words, the more you inhale, the more you get! Unlike the male lead, you don't have to worry about him dying all the time!
