Chapter 472: Yang Luoluo's Attack!
'Things are getting interesting now...'
Seeing his energetic and adorable little disciple, Yang Luoluo, suddenly stand up, her small small face flushed, Shen Anyu's eyelids twitched, and he had a subtle premonition in his heart.
"Little Senior Sister, why are you standing up?" Looking at Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo suddenly rising to her feet, Ye Linyuan was a bit stunned, but his initial confusion quickly gave way to a surge of eager anticipation and excitement. He leaned forward, his voice a conspiratorial whisper. "Little Senior Sister, are you going to denounce Brother Master for being such a philandering playboy? He's Second Little Senior Sister's boyfriend, but he also went and provoked Fourth Little Senior Sister! You're going to put him in his place, right?"
At this moment, Ye Linyuan was practically vibrating with exhilaration. The sight of Yang Luoluo's small small face, crimson with what he could only interpret as righteous fury, filled him with a triumphant joy. He felt certain she was about to unleash a torrent of condemnation upon Shen Anyu.
'Finally! Someone with integrity is going to expose him!' he thought, his heart pounding. 'What a despicable, scumbag!'
He was Second Little Senior Sister Liu Ruyan's acknowledged partner, yet he shamelessly flirted with and ensnared Fourth Little Senior Sister Ye Liyou. He had ignited a war between them, pushing the two sisters to the brink of a public, physical brawl. It was disgraceful.
But Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo was different. She was upright, brave, a bastion of martial virtue and energetic righteousness. She would never, ever tolerate a bastard like Shen Anyu. She would surely reprimand him, expose his character for all to see, and sever all ties with him in a glorious display of moral clarity.
Just the thought of Yang Luoluo breaking away from Shen Anyu made a wide, irrepressible grin spread across Ye Linyuan's small small face. The daily sight of the vivacious, adorable Yang Luoluo calling Shen Anyu 'Master Brother' with such intimacy had been a constant source of bitter jealousy, a thorn in his side that pricked him with every cheerful greeting he overheard.
But now, this was it. This was the moment of reckoning. Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo's tolerance had clearly reached its limit. She was going to cut him loose, and once she did... perhaps he could swoop in. He could be the one to comfort her, to offer a shoulder to cry on, to show her what a real, devoted man was like. The possibilities were intoxicating.
"Little Junior Sister, are you here to help me?" Liu Ruyan's long, adorable little fox eyes lifted, a glimmer of delight dancing within them as she looked at Yang Luoluo. She saw a powerful ally rising to her defense. "Your Fourth Little Senior Sister is being utterly unreasonable; she's actually trying to steal my man!"
"Little Junior Sister..." Ye Liyou pursed her vibrant red lips, her gaze fixed on the flushed, seemingly furious Yang Luoluo. A flicker of hesitation crossed her beautiful eyes, a momentary doubt, but it was instantly replaced by unyielding resolve. No matter who stood against her, no matter who tried to dissuade her, she would not back down. She absolutely had to be with her Senior.
And so, under the intensely focused gaze of every single person in the grand dining hall, the atmosphere crackled with unbearable tension.
Yang Luoluo stood frozen, her small small face a burning shade of scarlet, so flushed it looked as though steam might start rising from the top of her head. Her large, watery eyes were locked onto Shen Anyu, staring with an intensity that silenced the room.
For several long, agonizing seconds, she didn't utter a sound.
Her delicate body trembled.
To Ye Linyuan, this was a body shaking with pure, unadulterated rage. His excitement peaked, his anticipation reaching a fever pitch. Any second now, Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo would unleash hell. She would denounce Shen Anyu, the two-timing leech, and furiously break off their connection.
Liu Ruyan and Ye Liyou were also coiled with nervous energy, their postures rigid as they awaited the verdict.
Only Shen Anyu remained unperturbed. A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on his handsome small small face as he broke the suffocating silence, his voice a gentle, melodic current in the stagnant air.
"Luo Luo, what's wrong?"
Shen Anyu's soft inquiry was like a pinprick to a fully inflated balloon. The monumental pressure that had built up inside Yang Luoluo burst forth, but not in the way anyone expected.
She immediately lowered her head, her small small face somehow turning an even deeper shade of red, and stammered, her voice small but shockingly clear.
"Master Brother, Luo Luo likes you too, and… and is willing to wear Maidservant Attire for you."
Ye Linyuan: "..."
Liu Ruyan: "..."
Ye Liyou: "...Seriously?"
For a moment, the entire restaurant within Jiangjing Manor fell into an absolute, deathly silence.
It was as if someone had slammed a universal pause button. Everything froze. Every movement, every gesture, every half-drawn breath ceased in unison. The air became thick and heavy, each particle saturated with stunned disbelief.
Ye Linyuan, Liu Ruyan, Ye Liyou, the ever-watchful Ruan Lingshan, and every surrounding maid and female guard—all of them stared at Yang Luoluo. Their expressions were masks of shock, their minds refusing to process the words she had just spoken.
This energetic, adorable, martial arts-obsessed beauty… had just said that?
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan is dumbfounded. Plundering +9999 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Linyuan is speechless. Plundering +9999 Destiny Points!]
...Ye Linyuan was stunned. He was completely and utterly dumbfounded. His mind, which had been racing with scenarios of glorious victory, screeched to a halt, the gears grinding with a painful, metallic shriek.
He had expected a denouncement. He had fantasized about a breakup. He had been preparing his comforting words.
He never, ever, in his wildest, most paranoid nightmares, expected Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo to declare that she also liked Shen Anyu and was willing to debase herself by wearing Maidservant Attire for him.
How... how was this possible? The world tilted on its axis, colors bleeding at the edges of his vision. For a long moment, Ye Linyuan couldn't recover. He felt dizzy, bewildered, dazed, as if the floor had dissolved from beneath his feet.
"Little Junior Sister… also fell for Senior?"
After a long, breathless pause, Ye Liyou was the first to find her voice. Her usual cold and elegant demeanor had completely vanished, shattered into a million pieces. Her phoenix eyes were wide with astonishment.
However, as the initial shock subsided, a strange sort of logic began to form in her mind. She didn't find it too strange. Senior was simply too exceptional. It was practically inevitable for any woman to fall for him. He was devastatingly handsome, impossibly powerful, gentle and considerate when he chose to be, and hailed from an illustrious family. Even in that aspect, he was impeccable, flawless.
It had to be said, Ye Liyou's perception of Shen Anyu was filtered through the thickest, most rose-tinted lens imaginable.
'It's just that… Senior has attracted far too many romantic entanglements.'
At this thought, Ye Liyou's gaze toward Shen Anyu soured slightly, now tinged with a fresh layer of resentment and jealousy.
Liu Ruyan stared at Yang Luoluo with a shocked expression, her mind reeling in disbelief. She leaned forward, her voice urgent and sharp. "Little Junior Sister, what did you just say? I don't think I heard you clearly."
Ye Linyuan also shuddered as if doused with ice water, snapping back to reality. He fixed his gaze intently on Yang Luoluo and pressed on, his voice strained. "Little Senior Sister, did you say it wrong just now? You must have."
He refused to believe it. He couldn't. The Little Senior Sister Yang Luoluo he knew, the one who lived and breathed for the martial path, could not possibly like Shen Anyu. She must have misspoken. It had to be a slip of the tongue.
After making her confession in front of Second Little Senior Sister Liu Ruyan and Fourth Little Senior Sister Ye Liyou, the immense nervous tension in Yang Luoluo's heart eased slightly. The familiar, energetic smile returned to her small small face, brighter than ever.
"I didn't say it wrong," she declared, her voice ringing with newfound confidence. "Luo Luo likes Master Brother. I've liked him for a very long time."
She took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over her two Little Senior Sisters before locking back onto Shen Anyu.
"Even earlier than when Second Little Senior Sister and Master Brother got together."
"If Second Little Senior Sister and Master Brother hadn't gotten together, Luo Luo would have already become Master Brother's girlfriend."
"And now," she concluded, her eyes shining with admiration for Ye Liyou's earlier audacity, "Luo Luo also wants to be as brave as Fourth Little Senior Sister."
As she spoke, a whirlwind of memories flashed before her eyes, a revolving lantern of moments centered entirely on him: her initial shock and boundless admiration for his martial strength, the shy delight she felt during his patient guidance, the warmth that bloomed in her breasts every time he smiled at her. Yang Luoluo's clear, black-and-white eyes looked firmly at Shen Anyu, and she enunciated each word with profound gravity:
"Once, in Luo Luo's heart, there was only the Dao of martial arts. But now, in Luo Luo's heart, Master Brother is even more important than the Dao of martial arts."
"Master Brother, Luo Luo wants to be with you, for all eternity!"

[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's total favorability has reached 100. Extra plunder +300,000 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Yang Luoluo's total favorability has reached 100. Commencing cashback rewards...]
...Shen Anyu's expression was moved.
Even he hadn't expected Yang Luoluo's favorability to directly reach max level.
No heroic rescue, no unique strategy; it just reached max level directly.
For a simple-minded martial arts fanatic beauty, to utter such words carried immense weight.
To some extent, Fourth Little Senior Sister Ye Liyou's actions also gave Yang Luoluo courage.
Once the obstacles in her heart were broken through, everything fell into place naturally.
A smile spread across Shen Anyu's small small face, and his peach blossom eyes looked at Yang Luoluo with tenderness, giving his response:
"Master Brother likes Luo Luo too."
Upon hearing this, Yang Luoluo's small small face bloomed like a flower. She was so happy she almost jumped, hugging Shen Anyu's arm and cheering with joy.
