Manipulative Harem God

Fifteen minutes had melted into the quiet night...

Just as Chen Yulan's breaths found their rhythmic dance, heralding her descent into a realm of dreams, the unexpected sound of Zhang Wei's voice tugged her back to the shores of wakefulness, "Yulan..."

A pair of bewildered eyes fluttered open, "?" Chen Yulan's voice was a whisper, heavy with sleep, "What is it?" She murmured, her hands moving to gently rub the vestiges of dreams from her eyes.

That simple, innocent action seemed to momentarily steal the words from Zhang Wei's lips.

He inhaled deeply, a slow smile spreading across his face as if to anchor himself in the moment, "It's nothing," he finally managed, his voice a soft echo in the dim room.

Chen Yulan offered a nod, her understanding as fleeting as her wakefulness; her eyes closed once more, surrendering to sleep's gentle pull.

But peace proved elusive, shattered again within minutes by Zhang Wei's voice, a soft yet insistent whisper, "Yulan."

Her eyes, heavy with sleep, opened once more, a soft "Hm?" the only sound she made.

Zhang Wei, in a tender gesture, took her hands—soft and delicate as the finest jade—and placed them with careful intention, inside his pants. "Just like this," he murmured, his voice laced with a smile, "Hold them — I find comfort this way."

Chen Yulan found herself caught in a moment of utter stillness, her heart a fluttering bird within her chest.

The warmth that radiated from their intertwined fingers against his slumbering dragon stirred a tempest of emotions within her, leaving her speechless, her mind racing with evil thoughts.

Half an hour later, just as the night deepened and a tranquil silence enveloped the room, a familiar voice shattered the peace.

"Yulan."

Chen Yulan's patience, worn thin by the night's earlier disturbances, finally snapped. "What now...?" she demanded, her voice soft yet her tone laced with irritation and a hint of exasperation.

Zhang Wei turned towards her, his movements deliberate. He reached out, his hand gently caressing her face, a soft contrast to the tension between them. Then, with a suddenness that took her off guard, he announced, "I want to eat you."

"..."

Chen Yulan was rendered speechless, her mind too tired to untangle the meaning behind his words.

It wasn't until she felt an unexpected sensation, something akin to a bite on her cheek, that she jolted awake.

!!

Her eyes snapped open in alarm, only to find Zhang Wei, his lips pressed against her cheeks, mimicking a gentle nibble.

The sensation, unexpected yet oddly unsettling, left her in a state of bewildered shock.

In that moment, Chen Yulan came to a resigned realization: sleep, that elusive sanctuary, would likely remain just beyond her reach for the remainder of the night.

As the afternoon light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, Zhang Wei finally awakened from his restless slumber.

The events of the night lingered in his mind, a vivid mix of shadows and whispers. His hand, which had borne the brunt of his confrontation with Long Tian, felt unusually heavy.

However, as he gently coaxed his qi to flow through his meridians, the weight began to lift, returning his hand to its normal state.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but reflect on the stark difference between the supreme body and the diamond body.

The diamond body, while formidable against physical projectiles, faltered against the intangible force of qi attacks.

It was this weakness that had caused his hand to crack under Long Tian's first assault.

The supreme body, however, boasted a resilience that could nullify the impact of qi to a certain extent, a fact that Zhang Wei had come to appreciate deeply.

In the quiet of the room, Chen Yulan sat perched on a stool near the bed, her presence a silent vigil.

As Zhang Wei moved, her heart skipped a beat, a soft blush creeping across her cheeks.

The memory of sharing the room, the close proximity throughout the night, brought a warmth to her face, even as she reminded herself of her brother's presence downstairs.

The realization that they had passed the night undiscovered brought a mix of relief and embarrassment.

The risk of discovery had been high, yet fortune had favored them with secrecy.

"It's already one?" Zhang Wei's voice broke the silence, his gaze drifting towards Chen Yulan as he reached for his phone to check the time, the digital display confirming the late hour.

"Here," Chen Yulan said, her voice a soft whisper as she extended the neatly folded clothes towards him, placing them at the edge of the bed.

The gesture, simple yet intimate, drew a puzzled frown from Zhang Wei as he sat up, the remnants of sleep still clouding his eyes.

"Do you want to go downstairs to eat, or should I bring the food up here?" she offered, her tone meticulously neutral, a veneer of formality masking the turmoil of emotions within.

"Hm?" Zhang Wei, grappling with the fog of sleep, regarded her with a slight frown. "Do you expect me to start shoving food down my throat the moment I wake up?" he retorted, the words sharper than intended.

"..." Chen Yulan found herself momentarily speechless, her mind scrambling for a response. 'I didn't mean it like that...' she thought, feeling a pang of injustice.

What did she even do wrong here?

As her lips formed a subtle pout, Zhang Wei had a sudden realization that he had scolded her without a valid reason, but he wasn't inclined to backtrack. With a forced smile, he declared, "Before we head to lunch, there are other matters to attend to."

!?

Chen Yulan's intuition sent shivers down her spine.

Zhang Wei lifted the blanket, revealing the bulge in his pants. "Handle this first, and then we can enjoy lunch downstairs. And, if you haven't already, we could even share a bath..." His voice dripped with a wicked edge, leaving Chen Yulan momentarily speechless.

She sat there, wordless, her eyes fluttering. Finally, she stammered, "How?"

Zhang Wei raised an intrigued eyebrow, his curiosity piqued as he pondered whether she was merely feigning innocence. "Go beneath the sheets, of course. Don't pretend you're unfamiliar with the concept... Just try not to faint again this time."

!!

Chen Yulan's cheeks flushed with color as she emitted a soft, approving hum. "Hmm..." She gracefully moved beneath the blanket, her movements exuding sensuality as she approached his legs.

Zhang Wei leaned back and let out a contented sigh. "Now, this is living..."

[Host, don't tempt fate.]

Zhang Wei retorted, "Hush."
