After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 51:

Chapter 51: Light, Grant Me Divine Power!

Of course, she knew what it meant when someone’s eyes exhibited such a strange phenomenon. After all, she had been Chen Fan’s lover. A few years ago, they had spent several blissful months together in Mingyun City. 

During that time, when they ran into trouble, Chen Fan had used this same divine ability. After asking him about it, she learned that it was a cultivator’s divine sense—essentially similar to having X-ray vision.

Qin Ruoyun felt anger stir in her heart. Was this man spying on her?

She asked, “CEO Li, what color is my underwear?”

Li Wanji replied with a smile, “Miss Qin, there’s no need to test me. I’m indeed looking at your body. I must say, you’re quite the seductive beauty—not any worse than Qingning.”

“You!” Qin Ruoyun hadn’t expected him to admit it so directly. Utterly shameless.

Her body had only ever been seen by Chen Fan. Now, she was being openly and recklessly ogled by this man. She felt completely exposed and extremely uncomfortable. Yet she had no means of stopping it, which left her flustered and ashamed.

Fortunately, she had already made some preparations. Soon, this man would die, and she would finally vent her anger. With that thought, her fury eased slightly.

She stepped forward with a soft smile, took a sip of red wine, and gently traced her jade-like fingers across his chest as she said, “CEO Li really is as capable as the rumors say. Yesterday, everyone was talking about how the Liu family knelt outside your villa, begging for mercy. Looks like it was true.”

CEO Gu echoed, “Ruoyun, maybe you didn’t know—the Bai family was destroyed by this guy.”

Qin Ruoyun leaned in even closer to him, her body nearly pressing against his as she whispered, “CEO Li’s current cultivation might even be stronger than Chen Fan’s back then.”

Li Wanji took in the faint fragrance from her body and said, “Not bad. But I’m definitely not as strong as Chen Fan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be hiding from him.”

Upon hearing that, Qin Ruoyun’s beautiful eyes lit up.

Li Wanji lifted her chin and said, “Miss Qin, you’re so stunning—interested in having a child with me?”

Qin Ruoyun was stunned. “Have… a child?”

“You’re so beautiful, with such delicate features, flawless skin even without makeup, and a perfect figure. With such top-tier genes, wouldn’t it be a waste not to have a child?”

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around her waist and directly kissed her rosy lips.

“Mmph!” Qin Ruoyun’s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe she had been forcefully kissed.

Anger flashed in her eyes. But thinking of the plan ahead, she forced herself to endure it.

She kept hypnotizing herself, “This is Chen Fan… this is Chen Fan…” imagining Li Wanji as Chen Fan.

CEO Gu sat quietly to the side, watching with displeasure in her eyes, but said nothing. She walked over to the side and sat down, silently waiting.

Just then—click—the entire hall was plunged into darkness.

A woman wearing a butterfly mask appeared in the center of the hall. “Welcome to the masquerade ball. Now, please pair up with your partners and begin the night of waltz!”

“Wow!” The crowd cheered.

Under the ambient lights and music, the high-society men and women embraced one another and began to dance. In a dark corner, no one could see the couple kissing, which only made Li Wanji more absorbed.

Suddenly, Li Wanji opened his eyes. A faint golden light flickered within them.

He sensed something. A group of people was quietly approaching from all directions.

His divine sense swept over the crowd and landed on a woman—Iris. Her breathtaking beauty caused him to momentarily lose focus.

Her inner strength was incredibly pure, and her cultivation had reached the terrifying 1st stage Foundation Establishment Realm. He hadn’t expected anyone on Blue Star to reach such a level.

But that was already the peak for martial artists on Blue Star. At most, one could reach the pinnacle of the 1st stage Foundation Establishment Realm, just one step away from the middle stage. But with Blue Star’s limited resources, breaking through to the middle stage was impossible. Otherwise, Chen Fan wouldn’t have left so quickly.

Li Wanji was startled. “I actually can’t see through her dantian!”

“Either she’s protected by a rare treasure, has a special physique, or cultivates a unique technique.”

Even as he continued kissing the beautiful mature woman, his eyes stayed fixed on Iris.

Just then, Qin Ruoyun suddenly pushed him away with great force and ran back.

Crash!

The surrounding curtains were lifted, revealing a circle of people in white robes standing in neat formation.

Each of them held a small stone coronet in their hands.

And in the center stood a stunning woman in white, holding a gleaming Sword of Justice.

“Dawn of Judgment!” the beautiful woman shouted as she swung her sword, unleashing a blinding white light.

At the same time, the white-robed followers raised their coronets, which emitted piercing rays of light.

The beams converged, their energy powerful enough to pierce through a 1-meter-thick steel plate instantly.

Guided by Iris’s Sword of Justice, the intense rays shot toward Li Wanji.

“Damn!” Li Wanji was startled.

He immediately summoned the magical treasure he had recently acquired—Thousand Thread Guide!

Threads wrapped around his ten fingers. With a flick of his hand, countless fine needles shot toward the white-robed followers.

“Zzzzz…”

But before the needles even got close, they were instantly melted by the intense light and turned into pools of molten metal.

“Motherf—!” Li Wanji cursed loudly.

This was a magical treasure just awarded by the system! Though only a low-grade item, on Blue Star, it was worth a fortune.

Seeing all the needles dissolve, he quickly released his true Qi to defend himself and looked for an opportunity to leap out of the array’s range.

“Light Prism Refraction!” Iris commanded.

The coronets quickly repositioned in a crisscross pattern, and a laser beam suddenly swept across toward Li Wanji!

He dodged quickly.

“Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!”

The cement walls of the villa were cleanly sliced through by the beam, and large chunks crashed to the ground.

Li Wanji didn’t bother with them. He flew erratically around the room like a headless fly.

“You can’t escape!” Iris shouted. “Reveal yourselves, my followers!”

Shua shua shua…

White light erupted all around the estate. Over a hundred followers, each holding a small coronet, beamed out rays of light, forming a cage around the entire manor.

“Escape? Why should I?”

After circling once, Li Wanji finally stopped, then snapped his fingers.

Snap! A boom echoed as small flames lit up around him.

“Candles?” Iris looked confused as she saw eight candles placed around the area.

“No. These are Drakefire wax sticks.” Li Wanji smirked.

As the wax sticks burned, thick black smoke filled the surroundings, making the whole manor look like a blazing fire scene.

Buzz—

A formation lit up on the ground.

In an instant, the world changed. The estate transformed into a black mist-filled purgatory.

“What is this place?!”

“This is hell!”

“No… impossible. I worship light. How could I go to hell?!”

Panic erupted among the followers.

Li Wanji leaped through the air, brandished his flying sword, and began the slaughter.

“I am the god of death… and I’ve come to reap your lives!”

Slash!

Slash!

Blood splattered. Heads rolled.

“Urgh!”

“Ahhhh!”

Screams echoed endlessly.

“No! Please!” Even Iris panicked.

She backed away, looked around desperately, trying to raise her sword to unleash light. But the black mist was too dense. Her light couldn’t pierce it at all.

“Holy Lord, save me!” she cried. “Aaaah!!!”

In less than a minute, over a hundred followers were all slaughtered by Li Wanji.

Only Iris remained, clutching her Sword of Justice tightly, scanning the surroundings in fear.

“The pleasure of slaughter… indescribable.” Li Wanji stood beside her, wiping blood off his flying sword with a tissue.

“You!” Iris turned and raised her sword in defense.

“No need to fear. This is just an illusion array. I’m dispelling it now.”

Li Wanji raised his hand. The candles went out.

The black smoke faded quickly, and the formation on the ground slowly dimmed and vanished.

Everything returned to normal.

“This is…” Iris asked in a daze.

“These are my Drakefire wax sticks.” Li Wanji collected the remaining candles and stored them in his storage pouch.

Drakefire wax sticks were made from the fat of flood dragons mixed with hallucinogenic herbs. When burned, they released thick black smoke that could be used to create illusion arrays.

When Iris saw him put the items into that tiny pouch at his waist, she was stunned.

But even more, she was frightened by his terrifying abilities.

Her expression flickered with uncertainty. After a moment’s hesitation, she decisively pulled out a bracelet and put it on her wrist.

“Light, grant me divine power!”
