Willow Yilin unconsciously walked to the riverside, a place where she had once come with Ning Beichen. Whenever she was troubled, Ning Beichen would like to bring her here to feel the breeze.
However, Ning Beichen had been gone for a long time, with no news. Willow Yilin didn't even know if he would return.
Her mother, on the other hand, actually thought Ning Beichen was after her money. If it weren't for Ning Beichen, Tianmei Technology Group would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Although Willow Yilin was a genius, genius couldn't solve all problems. It could be said that Tianmei Technology Group's current success was at least half due to Ning Beichen's efforts.
What was laughable and pathetic was that her own younger brother actually wanted to reap the benefits without putting in the work.
If her brother truly had the capability, she, as his elder sister, would never refuse him. In fact, she would willingly hand over the company for him to manage.
This was because after following Ning Beichen to cultivate, Willow Yilin discovered that she had higher aspirations. Tianmei Technology Group was merely a passing phase in her life; she would not spend her entire life focusing on it.
However, her brother, Liu Yizi, lacked the necessary skills. Let alone innovation, even if he possessed the ability to maintain the status quo, Willow Yilin would not hesitate to groom him as his successor.
Life is often unsatisfactory, and Willow Yilin felt agitated. She stared blankly at the river flowing before her.
At this moment, not far away, a man with an oddly seductive appearance set his gaze upon her.
"What incredible luck. I never thought there were still such beautiful women in this world. You are my target for today."
The strangely seductive man walked towards Willow Yilin with excitement.
"Hello, miss. May I get to know you?"
The strangely seductive man approached Willow Yilin and spoke.
Willow Yilin turned to look at him, her expression one of disgust. She ignored him and turned to leave.
However, the strangely seductive man did not give up. He followed her, wherever Willow Yilin went, he followed, persistently.
"Miss, I am genuinely sincere in wanting to get to know you. My name is Wang Yulang, and I own a publicly listed entertainment company. Have you heard of streamers? I can make you a big streamer."
The strangely seductive man kept talking to Willow Yilin.
Nowadays, if one were to promise to make someone a big star, no one would believe it. On the contrary, if it were about streamers, it would attract the interest of many young women.
"Not interested."
Willow Yilin had no interest in becoming a streamer. Moreover, the so-called listed company he mentioned probably had assets less than a fraction of Tianmei Technology Group's.
"Miss, you don't have to refuse so quickly. We can talk."
The strangely seductive man pestered Willow Yilin.
"I said I'm not interested. If you continue to pester me, I'll call the police."
Willow Yilin was already in a bad mood. Now, with a fly buzzing around her, it only made her more irritable.
At this moment, a soul-captivating light appeared in the strangely seductive man's eyes. He looked directly into Willow Yilin's eyes and thought to himself.
"I didn't want to resort to these methods, but you're forcing me."
A stream of soul-captivating light entered Willow Yilin's eyes, causing her mind to reel. She felt dazed and disoriented.
But soon, a trace of Azure Lotus energy instantly flowed through her limbs and bones. It was the Yin Xing Jue automatically protecting her, allowing her to instantly regain clarity.
"What are you doing?"
Willow Yilin took a few steps back and questioned him sternly.
Seeing that Willow Yilin was not affected by his soul-captivating technique, Wang Yulang was a bit surprised. However, he did not believe that Willow Yilin possessed cultivation that could resist his soul-captivating art. He merely thought she had coincidentally avoided it.
Soon, Wang Yulang shot another beam of soul-captivating light towards Willow Yilin's eyes, attempting to control her again.
But Willow Yilin was already wary of him. When Wang Yulang used the soul-captivating technique on her again, Willow Yilin immediately judged that the man was acting deliberately.
"How dare you!"
Willow Yilin let out a fierce shout. A blur appeared on her arm as she lunged towards Wang Yulang.
This was the Xiao Zhe Mei Shou taught to her by Ning Beichen. After Ning Beichen simplified it, it became a single move, a technique to defeat the enemy in one strike.
Wang Yulang had no idea that the woman before him knew martial arts. He was caught off guard and instantly, his arm was grabbed by Willow Yilin.
However, Wang Yulang quickly reacted and responded.
Willow Yilin's cultivation was not high, and her combat experience was limited. Her Zhe Mei Shou was immediately repelled by Wang Yulang.
"You know martial arts!"
Wang Yulang was greatly surprised.
"It's too late for you to know now."
Willow Yilin was not afraid. After her Zhe Mei Shou was repelled, she kicked towards Wang Yulang with lightning speed.
However, Wang Yulang was no ordinary person. He was unfazed by Willow Yilin's kick and even counterattacked, grabbing her leg.
"Such a beautiful leg. Tonight, let me, your master, pamper you well."
Wang Yulang sneered, grabbed Willow Yilin's leg, and dragged her towards him.
Although Willow Yilin had revealed her secret of knowing martial arts, Wang Yulang did not take her seriously. She was just a woman; how much strength could she have? At most, it was some rudimentary self-defense skills.
"You're asking for death!"
Willow Yilin's Yin Xing Jue erupted, and she pushed Wang Yulang back a few steps with a kick. Her previously ordinary attack suddenly became powerful.
Although Wang Yulang was pushed back, he was not injured. Instead, his interest in Willow Yilin grew.
This was the type of woman he desired the most, not as a wife, but for his cultivation.
He had a cultivation technique that required him to cultivate with a woman's body. Willow Yilin was not only beautiful but also possessed considerable martial arts skills, making her the best cauldron.
After repelling Wang Yulang, Willow Yilin felt a sense of excitement rather than fear. This was the first time she had fought a martial artist alone since Ning Beichen's departure. The thugs her brother hired earlier were not martial artists.
When Ning Beichen was around, she never had a chance to act. A guy like Wang Yulang was probably no match for Ning Beichen's single punch.
"You have some skill, but that's all. I happen to need a woman. I'll give you a chance to follow me."
Wang Yulang said with a lecherous smile to Willow Yilin. Regardless of who interfered, he, Wang Yulang, was determined to have this woman today.
"Disgusting!"
Seeing his lascivious expression, Willow Yilin, enraged, launched an offensive.
Wang Yulang was initially at ease.
However, as they fought, his brows gradually furrowed.
He realized that this woman's strength was not weak, and he couldn't subdue her easily.
