The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 47: The Master’s Teachings

“Would you sacrifice ethics, law, and life for him? Your love for him has reached such depths, is there still a need to ask me?”

An spoke softly:

“You just need to follow your own heart, don’t you?”

“Follow… my heart?”

Ailuka murmured in confusion:

“Miss An means… for me to give up? Just as I said earlier?”

“Oh? Is that what your heart is telling you?”

“Um, when… of course.”

“Is it really?”

An suddenly leaned down, getting very close.

Her gaze was like a spotlight, piercing through Ailuka’s clear eyes, shining deep into her heart.

As if wanting to capture all her secrets within sight.

Ailuka suddenly felt a bit flustered, like a bug in the dark being exposed to sunlight, her inner defenses being breached inch by inch.

Without the shelter of darkness, what filthy and foul things would be revealed under the sun?

“Wait, Miss An, I…”

“Answer my question.”

An leaned in closer.

Ailuka could feel An’s breath, could feel their eyelashes brushing against each other, could feel those eyes that seemed to see through everything, pulling out the unspeakable thoughts hidden deep within her heart.

“Do you really… want to give up? Ailuka.”

“I…”

Do I really want to give up?

Am I really willing to let them have their way?

Do I really…

…

What a joke.

I don’t want to at all.

If Rod were with anyone other than me, I would be mad with jealousy.

Especially that b*tch; it would be better if she were dead.

…

“It seems you’ve understood.”

An released Eluka.

Seeing the completely different look in Eluka’s eyes, An smiled with satisfaction.

“The so-called love is something you have to pursue yourself; how could you possibly give up?”

“But… I still don’t quite know what to do.”

Eluka gripped An’s hands tightly, like a drowning person clutching a life-saving straw, and sincerely asked, “Miss An, no, Master, from now on, you will be my master. Can you teach me what I should do? How can I win Rod’s heart?”

“Isn’t that simple? A person’s heart is actually inseparable from their body.”

An extended her finger and pointed at Eluka’s chest.

“So to win the heart of the one you love, you naturally have to win their body as well, although this may not happen overnight and will require a long time.”

“Win… their body…”

Eluka’s heart skipped a beat.

She might have had this thought long, long ago, but unfortunately…

“But… but Rod is so amazing, I…”

“That magic you used just now was quite good.”

“What?”

“The Charming Magic.”

An rested her cheek on her hand, speaking with a hint of regret:

“Too bad I’m not good at magic; otherwise, I would definitely learn it.”

With that magic, there would be no need for the trouble of using drugs.

“Charming Magic…”

Ailuka’s breathing was somewhat heavy.

Indeed, since the enchanting magic was effective even on the lake master.

Then what about on a person…

Or rather, on Rod…

“But…”

Ailuka swallowed hard:

“That doesn’t seem right.”

“Indeed, it doesn’t. But have you forgotten what you just said?”

An smiled gently:

“For love, weren’t you willing to disregard life, ethics, and law? Would you still care about these?”

“Ah.”

Right.

For love, she could disregard life, ethics, and law, but would she still care about these?

Wasn’t it just… using it a little on Rod?

Perhaps, she had unconsciously learned this magic just for this day.

Perhaps, her heart had already rotted away long ago.

“I understand now! I get it!”

Clearly aware of her own corrupted essence, a bright light shone in Ailuka’s eyes:

“Thank you, Master. I know what to do now.”

“Well, that’s good.” An nodded reassuringly.

“However, there’s just one last question I’m unclear about.”

Ailuka asked seriously:

“What if Rod remains stubborn and refuses to acknowledge my love? After all, the enchanting magic has a time limit, and I only excel at supportive magic. If he truly wants to escape, I might not be able to hold him back.”

“Hehe, since you’ve already called me Master, let me share a secret with you.”

An leaned closer to Ailuka’s ear, speaking in a gentle tone:

“No matter how strong a man is, if you break his limbs and put a sturdy collar on him, he will turn into a pet that can only bark.”

……

……

An left.

The rain also stopped.

Ailuka stood alone by the lake, lowering her head to gaze at the surface.

The water reflected her image, clear and distinct.

Her smile was sweet, her appearance charming; the previous gloom had long since vanished from her delicate face, and her eyes sparkled like the lake at this moment, crystal clear.

“Truly worthy of my master, it’s like a revelation.”

“Why have I never discovered this? This true self of mine.”

Ailuka touched her cheek, feeling as if she had changed something, yet also as if nothing had changed at all.

But in any case, her thoughts were clear, and she felt much lighter.

She knew what she needed to do.

“I’m so curious about what kind of person could capture my master’s heart.”

“But now is not the time to discuss that.”

Ailuka withdrew her gaze.

“Let’s go back; Ade is still waiting for me.”

……

Tonight, she would confess her feelings to the one she loved in a romantic place meant for just the two of them.

If it fails…

Heh, it won’t fail.

……

From noble mtl dot com

……

Creak.

The heavy metal gate opened with a jarring, teeth-grating sound.

An entered the cage with a puff of steam.

“Young master, I’m back.”

“Finally back.”

Mu En opened his eyes, hiding the weariness that lay beneath, and feigned a complaint:

“I thought I was going to die without seeing you.”

“Ah, has the young master finally been moved by me, willing to give all of himself to me?”

An looked touched, her cheeks slightly flushed:

“Then please, young master, give me a loving kiss first.”

“I’m going to starve! Starve to death!”

“Tsk.”

—

An’s expression instantly returned to calm, making Mu En marvel at how this woman’s ability to change her demeanor was faster than a Sichuan opera face change.

“Here, young master, the fish you wanted.”

An opened the food box in her hand, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the small cage.

Perhaps it was due to having been hungry for too long; even Mu En, who was used to delicacies, couldn’t help but salivate uncontrollably at this moment.

“The cooking methods are steaming and charcoal grilling. Which one does the young master want to eat first?”

“Steamed, I suppose.”

“Then, ah—”

“Ah—”

As the fish meat was placed in his mouth, the tender texture instantly stimulated the nerves in his mouth.

Though there was an ulterior motive, Mu En still had to exclaim, this fish is just too delicious.

“Be careful of the fish bones, young master.”

“I know, I’m not a child, how could I possibly… ah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“…I think I really got a fish bone stuck.”

“Is that so? Then there’s no helping it.”

Suddenly, An crawled towards Mu En like a little cat.

“Eh? An, what do you want to do?”

“I want to kiss the young master.”

“Now?” Mu En’s eyes widened.

“Didn’t the young master say he got a fish bone stuck? I thought if I pinched your nose and sucked hard while kissing, with my lung capacity, I might just be able to suck the fish bone out.”

“Eh? Wait, that’s not okay.”

“…”

“Well… actually, I was joking.”

“…”

“Are you serious? An, no, that could be deadly, woo woo woo…”
