Qin Yang nodded slightly, acknowledging her thanks, but did not move, remaining between her and the living room.
As Chen Yuqi looked at him, the awkward feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Qin, isn't it inconvenient for you to stay here all the time?"
"Miss Shangguan might be unhappy if she finds out."
She carefully chose her words, mentioning Shangguan Wan.
She wasn't trying to sow discord; she simply felt that Qin Yang was Shangguan Wan's man, and it was inappropriate for him to be spending the late night in another woman's private villa.
She didn't want to cause any rift between Qin Yang and Shangguan Wan because of herself.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's gaze seemed to linger on her face for a moment, as if he were scrutinizing the meaning behind her words.
"She understands."
Those three simple words, conveying his usual confidence and assertiveness, immediately dispelled Chen Yuqi's concerns.
He seemed to completely disregard this as a question that needed to be explained or avoided.
Chen Yuqi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"Moreover, they will definitely come tonight." Qin Yang's tone suddenly turned serious as he changed the subject.
Chen Yuqi's heart sank: "Them? Or the seven great families?"
"The person who made the threatening phone call to you during the day was from the Ye family," Qin Yang said slowly, enunciating each word clearly.
"The Ye family?" Chen Yuqi frowned.
All she knew about this mysterious family was that it was one of the seven ancient families with a profound history, but she knew very little about its specific style of doing things.
“The seven major families each have their own strengths.” Qin Yang’s eyes deepened. “The Zhao family excels at winning people’s hearts and building networks of relationships; while the Ye family…”
He paused, his sharp gaze sweeping across the interior of the villa as if searching for something.
"The Ye family's greatest skill is illusion."
"Illusion?" Chen Yuqi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"A method that can directly interfere with and distort your five senses, and even invade your mind," Qin Yang explained, his tone unusually solemn.
"Their illusions are bizarre and unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against."
"Once you fall victim to their schemes, you may witness the most terrifying sights, hear the most vicious words, and even unknowingly act according to their wishes, ultimately leading to your destruction."
Qin Yang's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Chen Yuqi's head, instantly chilling her to the bone!
She never imagined that such a bizarre and terrifying attack method existed in this world.
This is even more terrifying than a real fight!
“So…” Chen Yuqi seemed to understand something, her voice becoming somewhat dry.
“Therefore, I must stay by your side.” Qin Yang finished her sentence with a resolute tone.
"Only when I am here can I detect the fluctuations in their illusions immediately and break them."
"If you leave my range of perception, even if it's just a wall away, you could instantly fall into their trap."
Chen Yuqi's heart suddenly raced.
She finally understood why Qin Yang insisted on following her to her villa.
It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of her, nor that he didn't care about Shangguan Wan's feelings.
Rather, it is a danger, an imminent one!
The Ye family's illusion magic requires his constant protection!
A wave of indescribable fear washed over her, making her glad she hadn't forcefully turned Qin Yang away.
But at the same time, another, even more embarrassing question also came to mind.
They must stay by my side, never leaving my side.
What about tonight?
Although the villa is not small, she only has one bedroom that she lives in.
Her cheeks flushed red instantly, as if on fire, and the redness quickly spread to her ears.
She could even feel her heart pounding in her chest like a drumbeat.
She instinctively lowered her eyes, not daring to look Qin Yang in the eye, her hands nervously twisting together.
"Then we..."
Her voice was barely audible, carrying obvious shyness and helplessness.
"Are we going to... tonight?"
She simply couldn't bring herself to say the words "sleep together".
A man and a woman alone together in a room, specifically in the bedroom.
This is simply...
Chen Yuqi's heart was in complete turmoil, her mind went blank, and all that remained was endless embarrassment and panic.
She lowered her head, waiting for Qin Yang's answer, each second feeling like torture.
Perhaps he'll suggest sleeping on the living room sofa?
Perhaps he will arrange another room?
However……
No answer came as expected.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The surrounding air seemed to have become viscous.
Before Qin Yang could speak...
Even before she had fully recovered from that extreme embarrassment.
Without warning, the scene before my eyes began to distort violently!
It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake, and the whole world began to shake and shatter!
The soft, warm yellow light in the living room was suddenly extinguished as if by an invisible hand!
dark!
An endless expanse of darkness!
Immediately afterwards, blinding blood light surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, instantly staining her entire field of vision red!
The soft, comfortable carpet beneath their feet had vanished, replaced by a cold, sticky pool of blood that reeked of a strong, pungent stench!
Illusion!
It really was an illusion attack from the Ye family!
This thought was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head, allowing Chen Yuqi to regain a sliver of her sanity amidst boundless fear, a glimmer of reason that was on the verge of collapse.
