Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 20: Zhang Wei is in trouble

As the small commotion died down, Leng Yan and Leng Mei gracefully made their exit. Zhang Wei watched them leave with a sense of suspicion gnawing at his mind.

Leng Yan had generously offered to create a new identity for Feng Xinyue, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder how she had such powerful connections in the capital.

He was certain that if he could get a hold of these two women, Song and Lin families would become nothing more than ants to him. With a desire to control an existing empire rather than building one of his own, Zhang Wei had his sights set high.

Thankfully, the next process was made easier with Leng Yan's help. As she had already interfered, no more formalities were needed. The orphanage only accepted children up to the age of fourteen, after which they had to leave and fend for themselves.

Leng Yan proposed an arrangement in which they wouldn't have to officially adopt Feng Xinyue but could simply take her away. She was going to arrange for an identification claiming that Feng Xinyue was over fourteen, which was the same arrangement suggested by Song Hu.

Now that Feng Xinyue was legally above fourteen, she could no longer stay at the orphanage, and Zhang Wei was free to take her away without any paperwork. However, Leng Yan would never have left a young girl in Zhang Wei's care if it weren't for Yu Lei's assurance. She still needed to dig more into Zhang Wei's past and existence.

As they said their goodbyes, Leng Mei invited them to their home, but Yu Lei politely declined, stating that they weren't yet familiar enough with each other. Leng Mei pouted like a young girl as she drove away.

After they had left, suspicion crept into Yu Lei's eyes as she whispered, "Are you sure she is Officer Leng Yan's mother?"

Zhang Wei chuckled, acknowledging that without the ability to see her age, he would have doubted it too. Leng Yan and Leng Mei looked like sisters, with Leng Yan appearing older and Leng Mei younger.

Zhang Wei's car had been delivered to the building's parking lot, so they hailed a cab to go home. However, another problem arose when little Nizi refused to sit alone with Yu Lei in the back seat. Eventually, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei had to sit in the back, while Feng Xinyue happily sat on Zhang Wei's lap, gazing out the window.

The driver awkwardly chuckled in an attempt to ease the tension, but it only added fuel to the fire. Yu Lei glanced at Zhang Wei and smiled, "She seems too attached to you, did you do something to her?"

The question had been bothering her for too long. She suspected that Zhang Wei might have been coming to the orphanage daily, and today was not his first visit.

As Yu Lei's eyes formed into a crescent moon shape, she thought about her lovely husband. She never knew Zhang Wei had a hidden caring side.

Zhang Wei wanted to clear Yu Lei's misunderstandings unfortunately his inner demons were in a fierce battle.

His mind was too clouded to think straight, and he felt like he was suffocating.

"Eh?"

Feng Xinyue turned to look at him in confusion, feeling a sudden poke against her bottom. Her large, innocent eyes blinked at him, but Zhang Wei could only laugh wryly and point outside, distracting her.

As she turned her head, her silky silver hair brushed against his face, and Zhang Wei found himself taking in a mouthful of her fragrance. He felt his consciousness slipping away, and if there was no one around, he might have pounced on her without a second thought.

This little nizi charms were far more frightening than he thought.

[Host, it's nothing. If she were in her adult form, you might as well get hypnotized by her mere sight. You are forgetting she is the Celestial Princess of the Divine Realm. You can't compare her to mortal women.]

The system's explanation caused some mental damage to Zhang Wei

He felt a sudden jolt of anxiety as the system's explanation sank in. Was it suggesting that he would lose himself at the sight of any woman, let alone one as powerful and alluring as the celestial princess? His pride and confidence took a hit, and he couldn't help but feel a bit insulted.

'Underestimating me, are you?' he muttered to himself, feeling the need to prove his own strength and control. But deep down, he knew that the system was right - he had already been captivated by the celestial princess's beauty and charm.

It wasn't entirely Zhang Wei's fault.

He had unwittingly placed himself on the maximum difficulty level by diving headfirst into the situation, rather than taking a more measured and progressive approach.

However, despite the daunting circumstances, he was still managing to hold his own.

In fact, one could argue that he was performing much better than expected.

If it weren't for the powerful illusion cast around Feng Xinyue, she wouldn't be able to roam so freely and manipulate those around her.

But unfortunately for her, the illusion didn't work on Zhang Wei and he was able to see her beauty in full glory.

Right then, Zhang Wei's eyes inadvertently drifted downwards and he caught sight of Feng Xinyue's breasts. They were larger than he expected for someone her age and were only partially covered, leaving some of her pale, milky skin exposed.

Zhang Wei's mind immediately began to race with thoughts about the size of her breasts if she were to revert to her normal form. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. His gaze was glued to her chest, his breathing shallow and erratic.

"Damn," he muttered under his breath as he sucked in a sharp breath. The sight of her ample bosom was having an unexpected effect on him. He tried to look away, but found it difficult to tear his eyes from her body.

He couldn't even begin to imagine how much bigger they might be in her true form. The thought made the blood rush to his lower half and he instantly forced himself to focus on something else.

[Host, you should focus on increasing your cultivation if you want to better resist her.]

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, realizing the truth in the system's words. He knew that if he wanted to stand a chance against powerful opponents like Feng Xinyue and Leng Yan, he needed to improve his cultivation.

The first thing he would do tonight was to explore the system more thoroughly and start cultivating.

It was good to be arrogant, but arrogance alone wouldn't get him far. He needed strength to back it up.

He was still seething with anger at Leng Yan for humiliating him earlier, and he was determined to get his revenge against her.

He also vowed to make Feng Xinyue pay for her torture today.

Yu Lei would be leaving for work in the morning, leaving Zhang Wei with plenty of time to plan and execute his revenge against Feng Xinyue.

The thought of teaching her a lesson filled him with a sense of satisfaction, and he found himself in a much better mood.

Taking a deep breath, he began to think about his future plans and how he could achieve his goals.

The unsuspecting Feng Xinyue had no inkling that she would soon fall prey to Zhang Wei's scheme of revenge the next day.

As a result, today's chapter will be shorter than usual.
