She never imagined that her father, who had always been upright, loving, and even strict in front of her, would have such a side to him behind the scenes.
At that moment, the girl felt her worldview crumble.
Obata Yui watched quietly until the two had completely disappeared before she looked away.
Immediately afterwards, she headed towards Lin Chuan's house, looking utterly dejected.
She didn't know how to face her mother when she went back; Lin Chuan was her only haven now.
As evening approached, seeing that Obata Yui had not yet returned, Lin Chuan told Obata Natsumi not to worry for the time being and then drove home.
Upon opening the door and entering the living room, one sees the girl curled up beside the sofa, her arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes vacant and unfocused.
Seeing her thoughts, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly and slowly walked to her side, saying softly, "Yui, what happened?"
One sentence snapped Xiaoyou out of her daze.
His pupils gradually focused as he looked at the girl he loved. Unable to hide the bitterness in his heart any longer, he threw himself into her arms and burst into tears: "Waaah~, Lin Chuan-jun, my dad, my dad has another woman outside, waaah~ Wan."
Chapter 175 Twenty Goddesses - Obata Yui
After a long while, when the girl had gradually calmed down, Lin Chuan put his arm around her waist, which was very flexible due to years of dance practice, and said softly, "Yui, I want to apologize to you for this."
Upon hearing this, Obata Yui looked at him with puzzled eyes, her red, rabbit-like eyes filled with confusion.
Reaching out to gently wipe away the tears on her face, Lin Chuan's tone became even gentler: "Actually, I already knew about this, but your aunt asked me not to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Obata Yui's body suddenly trembled, and she murmured in disbelief, "Mom knows?"
"Yes! I noticed that your mother seemed a bit off that day, so I specifically asked her about it..."
At the end, Lin Chuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Your aunt has had a tough time!"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once she did, Yui Obata's tears, which she had managed to stop, started flowing again like pearls from a broken string.
She had always thought her mother was very happy, but she never expected that her mother had suffered so much injustice in secret.
Her husband had an illegitimate child. If it weren't for her, they probably would have divorced long ago!
The thought of how often she had upset the other person made her cry even harder: "Waaah~"
As the sun sets, golden rays stream through the window, bathing the two of them in a beautiful yet slightly melancholic scene.
Lin Chuan didn't say much about it, but gently patted his back to comfort him.
After an unknown amount of time, Yui Obata, gradually exhausted from crying, nestled in that broad embrace and fell into a deep sleep.
Gently smoothing the stray hairs by her ear, Lin Chuan took out his phone and called Xiao Fan Natsumi to let her know he was safe...
As the moon rose above the willow branches, a sleeping girl was awakened by a rich and fragrant aroma.
Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Lin Chuan's handsome face and a golden, incredibly tempting pork chop rice.
"You're awake! Come and try my cooking! It's not as good as yours or your aunt's, but it's still pretty good."
Meeting that warm smile, as gentle as the winter sun, Obata Natsumi suddenly felt a lump in her throat and her eyes redden slightly.
He took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "Mmm!"
He then slowly stood up, took the chopsticks, and began to savor the food in small bites.
His smile widened, and he gently stroked the child's head a few times, asking softly, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious!"
"That's good! I've already let Auntie know I'm safe. Yui-chan, you can stay here with me tonight."
"Don't worry about the elders' affairs. I believe your aunt will handle it. Just be a..."
Hearing those gentle words, tears welled up in Obata Yui's eyes.
After a moment, she gently raised her head, her voice slightly choked with emotion: "Lin Chuan-jun, thank you~"
His movements became even gentler, and Lin Chuan said softly, "Silly girl, do we need to say these things between us? From now on, I will take care of you in place of your uncle!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the opponent was instantly killed.
Immediately, the girl put down her pork chop rice and threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms, her fair and jade-like arms tightly embracing his strong waist.
The next moment, a wisp of pale white light slowly emerged from above his head and then shot towards Lin Chuan.
The moment the light entered the body, the book icon in the lower right corner of the system interface shone with golden light!
Familiar formula, familiar taste.
With a rustling sound of pages turning, pictures of beautiful women, some innocent and lovely, others alluring and charming, flashed by.
She wore a deep purple V-neck dress, her face was charming, her brows were full of spring-like warmth, and her light purple eyes sparkled with a hint of brilliance.
Wearing a white sailor uniform with a red bow on top, brown JK uniform with white stockings on the bottom, and her orange hair neatly draped behind her head, Yui Obata slowly appeared with a faint smile on her lips.
The young girl's hands were like tender shoots, her skin like solidified cream, her neck like a cicada's, her teeth like melon seeds, her forehead broad and her eyebrows arched, her smile charming, and her eyes bright and beautiful.
With a slender yet curvy figure, she exudes a youthful aura, like a green apple about to ripen, making one want to take a bite at first sight.
A moment later, after the last stroke was made, a detailed description of it appeared beside the painting.
Immediately afterwards, a pleasant system notification quietly rang in Lin Chuan's ears:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting your twentieth goddess—Obata Yui! Rewards from *The Chronicles of Beauties*: 60000 Story Points, Rare Item: Thunder Law Origin *1/9, Rare Item: Talent Enhancement Scroll (Saint) *1/9, Rare Item: Skill Enhancement Scroll (Epic), Space Marker...]
Hearing the system notification, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction; it was indeed feasible.
After learning about the operation mechanism of "The Record of Beauties", he gave each of the goddesses who had not yet been included in the record two yellow-rank secret pills to help them improve their strength.
If it weren't for their poor constitution, which prevented them from withstanding too much medicinal power in a short period of time, he would have liked to directly raise them to the Profound Rank or even the Earth Rank.
But things are not bad now; two Yellow-Rank Secret Medicines cost 1000 each.
After the goddess consumed it, not only did her own strength increase, but he also gained nearly 30000 more story points—a win-win situation!
After a while, Lin Chuan and Obata Yui finished their pork cutlet rice, with Lin Chuan gently holding her slender waist with his right hand, silently enjoying their time together.
In a single day, her once happy family was torn apart, a blow that left Obata Natsumi feeling utterly exhausted.
So soon, feeling increasingly tired, she nestled against that strong chest, inhaling its pleasant scent, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
After a moment, listening to the rhythmic breathing and watching the girl's chest rise and fall slightly, Lin Chuan smiled and checked the previous reward.
Most of them were old acquaintances. After glancing at the fragments of the Law of Thunder's origin, he couldn't help but nod slowly.
He has now collected six pieces, and only the last three are needed for him to master another law. That day is not far away.
After applying the epic-quality skill enhancement scroll to the Dragon Sword Technique, Lin Chuan gently put the girl down and returned home.
He wanted to spend more time with her, but he couldn't because someone else in the family needed tutoring.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Lin Chuan escorted Xiao Fan Youyi to the gate of Cheng Shen Academy.
As he watched the other person walk into the school gate and was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gao Fengcao's slender figure not far away.
Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
Chapter 176 Urban Legends - The Eight-Foot Man
In the secluded alley, the Panamera, which had been undulating, gradually calmed down.
Inside the car, nestled in Lin Chuan's arms, Gao Fengcao's cheeks flushed, and his eyes sparkled.
A moment later, the girl slightly raised her head, looked at the villain with a "despicable" smile on his lips, and said with a disgruntled tone, "You big bad guy~"
She's been late for class ever since, all because of him.
Gently smoothing the stray hairs from his forehead, Lin Chuan said with a faint smile, "Xiao Cao, how about we go soak in a hot spring?"
"No, I need to go to class."
As she spoke, the girl struggled to get up.
But as soon as Pu made a move, a strong force came from the hot hand around her waist, causing her to fall into that broad embrace again.
Ultimately, under Lin Chuan's insistence, Gao Fengcao had no choice but to agree, like a wronged wife.
More than an hour later, at a hot spring resort near the suburbs, Lin Chuan, who was enjoying a massage from a young girl's delicate fingers, was drawn to the conversation of several women next door.
"Have you heard? Several more people have died in Xiawan Village. Their bodies have turned into mummies. It's terrifying."
"It is said that before they died, the villagers nearby saw a very tall woman wearing a long white dress and a straw hat, who looked a lot like the eight-foot-tall man in ghost stories."
"What? Could it be that ghosts really exist in this world?"
"That's hard to say. Anyway, everyone should be careful lately. I heard that the Eight-Foot Master's favorite thing is to absorb people's yang energy."
"really..."
Ignoring their pointless remarks, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
An eight-foot-tall man? Interesting~
Upon hearing this, Gao Fengcao's delicate body trembled involuntarily.
Then, with a hint of fear, he asked Lin Chuan, "Lin...Lin Chuan-kun, is there really an eight-foot-tall man?"
"Yes! There should be some, but don't worry, Xiao Cao, I'll protect you."
"Lin Chuan-kun~"
Although he knew the other person was probably just trying to comfort him, Gao Fengcao still felt a warm feeling in his heart upon hearing this.
Seeing the girl's charming and lovely appearance, Lin Chuan lowered his head and captured her soft lips...
"Gulu~"
Around noon, the alarm clock rang precisely on time.
Meeting Lin Chuan's gentle gaze, Gao Fengcao felt a wave of embarrassment and couldn't help but lower his head to count the ants.
Holding her soft, white hand, Lin Chuan said gently, "Let's go get something to eat."
As he spoke, he emerged from the bathwater.
