Chapter 35: Wei Yun in Agony! Shen Anyu in Delight!
Jiang Linlin stared at the evidence in front of her—at the image of the once-delicate Wei Yun standing coldly amidst countless corpses and rivers of blood.
She bit her lip, her eyes as clear as a lake now blazing with fury.
“Wei Yun… my parents adopted him out of kindness, and he caused their deaths. He’s done so many terrible things… how could someone be so evil…”
One teardrop after another fell from her beautiful eyes.
The more she thought about it, the more it tore her apart. Her kind-hearted parents took in a neighbor’s orphan, only to be repaid by betrayal and death. It was too cruel—she sobbed uncontrollably.

“Linlin, don’t cry. Someone like Wei Yun… he’s not worth your tears.”
Shen Anyu looked at her tenderly and reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks. Naturally, he pulled her gently into his arms, patting her softly as he comforted her with a warm voice.
But deep in Shen Anyu’s eyes was a glint of amusement.
What he told her was mostly true—except he changed the part where Wei Yun had been forced into it, making it sound like he had chosen everything out of pure ambition.
Besides, Wei Yun had already destroyed the Asura assassin organization himself. Even if he wanted to defend himself now, no one would believe him.
After all, who would trust a heartless traitor like Wei Yun over someone like Shen Anyu—handsome, righteous, from the prestigious Shen family of Yanxia, and the man who had just cured Granny Zhong?
Right now, Jiang Linlin was in emotional chaos.
First, she was overjoyed to see Granny Zhong recover. Then she heard the “truth” behind her parents’ deaths—a secret so heavy it shook her soul. She was at her weakest moment.
Shen Anyu’s warm embrace, his soothing words, and the sense of security he gave off made it easy for her to lean on him without realizing it.
To an outsider, it looked just like a scene between lovers.
And right then, Wei Yun arrived at Granny Zhong’s doorstep—only to witness it all.
His pupils shook violently. His eyes widened with disbelief and anguish.

“Lin… My Linlin…”
Wei Yun’s body trembled like thunder, his face twisted in pain, his breathing uneven, his heart shattering.
He never imagined he’d see such a sight.
When Jiang Linlin didn’t attend classes that afternoon and had even applied for leave, he was worried—worried she might have fallen ill, or something had happened to her.
Given her family’s financial state, the fact that she managed to get into one of the top universities in Yanxia was nothing short of extraordinary. She had always been diligent—never once had she taken a day off. Even in university, she never slacked.
Wei Yun, anxious and concerned, had rushed over to Granny Zhong’s house without a second thought.
But what did he see now?
He saw the girl he loved—the one he had cherished all these years, his untouchable moonlight—being held so closely by another man.
He couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept any of it.
For the past year, he had been thinking it over, tossing and turning in bed, haunted by dreams. In the end, his love for Jiang Linlin had overcome his inferiority complex and guilt.
He had made up his mind—to officially pursue her, take care of her for the rest of his life.
To atone for her parents, to make up for what she had lost, he had vowed never to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
But now?
“What… No. I must be mistaken. Linlin’s never been close with any guy. She’s always focused on her studies. How could she suddenly have a boyfriend?”
“Could it be… is that man harassing her?!”
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Wei Yun’s eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent—as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had descended upon the earth.
As the king of assassins in the dark world, he had climbed over the corpses of over a thousand souls and destroyed the infamous Asura organization.
To him, nothing mattered more than Jiang Linlin.
Everyone else was like ants—completely meaningless.
No matter who it was—powerful officials, wealthy tycoons, warlords—if anyone dared harm his Linlin, they would die.
They wouldn’t even leave behind a body.
Right now, Wei Yun was no longer the lazy, sunbathing security guard. He had returned to being the bloody god of death from the shadows—his eyes cold enough to freeze steel.
Shen Anyu felt that terrifying killing intent—but only sneered inwardly with disdain.
Though he had sent his guards away to avoid alarming Wei Yun, he didn’t take him seriously at all.
Wei Yun might be at the peak of the Innate Realm and had successfully assassinated Martial Arts Grandmasters before…
But so what?
Shen Anyu had a divine Steel Body. Even a Heaven and Man level expert couldn’t break through his defenses. Wei Yun could try to kill him, but it would be useless.
And even without his Steel Body, Shen Anyu’s late-stage Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation, combined with lightning powers and various other skills, could easily crush Wei Yun.
Right now, Shen Anyu felt nothing but pure thrill. This… was exhilarating!
Of course, that was the extent of it. He had no perverse interest in letting other men enjoy the beauty of his woman. He wasn’t into that sort of thing.
“Brother Shen… I’m sorry… I must’ve embarrassed myself…”
Just then, Jiang Linlin came back to her senses. Seeing the damp spot her tears had left on his shoulder, her face turned red. She got up, a bit flustered.
But as she left Shen Anyu’s arms, she felt a strange sense of loss. That embrace had made her feel a deep sense of comfort and safety. Her heart still beat rapidly, and her face was hot.

“Brother Shen? She called him Brother Shen?!”
As a peak Innate Realm assassin, Wei Yun’s hearing was razor-sharp. Even from more than ten meters away, he heard it all clearly.
His entire body shook. His face turned pale.
Linlin… his Linlin wasn’t forced into that. She was calling that man “Brother Shen” so sweetly and intimately?
“No!!!”
Wei Yun howled like a wounded wolf, then turned and fled into the distance.
He couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept what he had just seen.
“Brother Shen… what happened to that man just now? He looked… really sad.”
Jiang Linlin had heard the howl and turned toward the doorway. Seeing the fleeing figure in the distance, her face showed surprise.
Shen Anyu curved his lips into a faint smile. Looking at her confused and surprised expression, he explained softly:
“That was Wei Yun.”
