After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 50:

Chapter 50: Holy Master of the Church of Light, Iris

Just then, the phone rang.

“The sight of you approaching makes me feel so…”

Hong Yue was puzzled hearing the song. She enjoyed music too, but had never heard such a strange song before. The lyrics were bizarre—something about “chicken you’re too beautiful”… What kind of lyrics were those?

And from the voice, it actually sounded like Li Wanji singing it himself.

She searched the lyrics online but couldn’t find anything.

“What’s up, Miss Gu? Has it only been a few days without poker and you’re already missing me?” Li Wanji’s tone was full of suggestive intent. He really missed her body.

This woman had a stunning figure—the kind you’d only see in manga. No wonder Chen Fan had been so obsessed with her.

“Did you get the invitation I sent you?” Gu Qingning’s voice was calm and pleasant, the kind of voice that made people want to conquer her.

“Yeah, I got it. But I’m not planning to go,” Li Wanji replied.

“I’m discussing a partnership, and part of the condition is that I attend his ball with a male companion. I want you to go as my date,” Gu Qingning said in that same cold tone.

This woman had always been proud. Even though he’d had her a few times, she had never truly submitted to him.

“Why me?” Li Wanji asked.

“Because among the men closest to me, only you are currently around,” she answered logically.

“Fine, but if I don’t go, who were you planning to invite instead?” Li Wanji was curious.

“There’s someone who’s been pursuing me for a long time. He’s more handsome than you, and I think he’d be a good choice,” Gu Qingning said with a faint hum.

“Heh, that guy has guts. Daring to pursue you even when Chen Fan was still around?” Li Wanji sneered. He didn’t believe it one bit.

He remembered how he had once accidentally brushed her silky legs covered in black stockings and was immediately crippled by Chen Fan. If not for his father sacrificing his life in exchange, he’d probably have been reborn and walking on two short legs by now.

“Hmph, looks like you don’t believe me. That viral photo online—that was me.”

“That guy took it, and after that, he started pursuing me like crazy. I just never accepted him.”

“I’ll send it to you.” Gu Qingning, unusually talkative today, sent him a picture.

Li Wanji opened it. The photo was slightly blurry. It showed a woman riding a road bike in the rain, wearing a miniskirt. Her snow-white thighs were incredibly alluring.

“You wore something that revealing while biking? Were you one of those cycling influencers?” Li Wanji teased.

“You’re the cycling influencer! I was commuting and getting some exercise. Is that strange?” Gu Qingning was furious. She wished she could teleport to his house and bite him!

She was pure and clean, and this guy dared to slander her like that.

“Oh? That explains why you’re so good at pedaling a tricycle—you’ve got the foundation,” Li Wanji said, not doubting her anymore. He knew what kind of woman she was.

“8 p.m. tonight. Be there. After the ball, we’ll go to a hotel. Remember that position you mentioned last time? I… might consider it tonight.” Her voice softened near the end, with a hint of shyness that stirred his heart.

Li Wanji licked his lips. “Alright.”

…

“Well? He agreed, didn’t he?”

A tall, elegant woman walked over in a flowing blue gown. Her figure was graceful, and her long black hair cascaded like water—stunningly beautiful.

“Hmph, just a lustful dog. A little trick and he obeys like one,” Gu Qingning raised her chin proudly.

“You’re amazing. I need to learn how you handle men,” Qin Ruoyun gave her a thumbs-up.

“Is Iris here yet?” Gu Qingning asked.

“She should be here soon,” Qin Ruoyun replied, just about to make a call.

At that moment, two women entered the hall. One was a tall woman in an office-style skirt suit, leading a beautiful white woman inside.

The white woman had striking beauty—flowing white hair, dressed in a white dress like a holy angel, pure and untouched.

“My dear Gu, we finally meet. Chen told me you were beautiful, but I didn’t expect you to be this stunning.”

Iris approached with a smile and offered her pale hand.

“Hello, Iris. I’ve long heard of the Saintess of the Church of Light,” Gu Qingning shook her hand politely.

“Hehe, I’m the Holy Master now,” Iris brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“You’re the Holy Master? Since when?” The women were surprised.

“About two and a half months ago. Thanks to Chen seriously injuring the former Holy Master, I defeated him three months ago.”

“During the battle at the Alps, I won the Light Element Ability Lock. By triggering it, I awakened a stronger light ability—my power now far surpasses the former Holy Master,” Iris explained.

“So even Chen Fan can’t beat you now?” the women asked with excitement. If that was true, their chances of defeating the scumbag were greatly improved.

“Well… If I use the Ability Lock, probably, maybe, possibly… Chen might lose.” Iris wasn’t entirely confident.

Because Chen Fan’s methods were just too terrifying—secret techniques, treasures, strange powers—he didn’t feel like a Grandmaster at all, but more like a freakish old monster.

“Alright. Whether we win or lose, everything depends on tonight. If we’re going to escape the devil’s clutches, we’re counting on you!” Qin Ruoyun was a little nervous too. This was their only shot.

“Don’t worry. I’m not alone. We’ve got plenty of people—how could we not take him down?” Iris clapped her hands.

Clatter! A group of people entered from outside and bowed in unison.

“Greetings, Holy Master!”

Seeing this, Gu Qingning and the others were utterly stunned.

…

7 p.m.

Li Wanji was soaking in the bath with Guoguo in his arms. After soaking for over half an hour, he finally got dressed and left the house.

He arrived at Misty Rain Manor. Outside the gate, dozens of luxury cars were parked.

Li Wanji swept his divine sense across the area and quickly spotted Gu Qingning waiting at the entrance. Like a statue of loyalty, she stared at every arriving vehicle until she saw Li Wanji step out and approached him.

“Hurry up. The ball’s about to begin.” Gu Qingning held onto his arm. The two of them, looking so close, could easily pass for a real couple.

“This is Qin family’s estate, right?” Li Wanji wrapped his arm around her soft waist.

“Yeah, it belongs to Ruoyun. But now this manor is all they have left.” Gu Qingning glared at him. If it weren’t for this guy wrecking her company, the Qin family wouldn’t be suffering under the Mo family’s suppression.

The Qin family had fallen on hard times, or she wouldn’t have had to borrow money from him.

They entered the grand hall.

A woman in a red, elegant gown with seductive features and red lips walked toward them with a graceful smile.

“Didn’t expect that the next time we met, I’d be calling you CEO Li,” Qin Ruoyun said with a smile.

“Hehe, Miss Qin—do you regret not agreeing to work with me back then?” Li Wanji boldly looked her over.

She really was worthy of being one of the women a Child of Destiny had tasted—her body was flawless, with curves in all the right places.

Golden light faintly shimmered in his eyes.

His divine sense was scanning every part of Qin Ruoyun’s body.

To a cultivator, mortal clothing was like air. A sweep of divine sense could see through everything.

“Maybe a little,” Qin Ruoyun replied. Then, noticing the faint golden glow in his eyes, her heart tensed.

“Your eyes…”
