"I disguised myself and went to the hospital for a checkup," Liu Shihua said proudly. "The doctor told me that I'm just a late bloomer and now, I'm hitting a growth spurt!" "This is all natural; you can't envy it!"

"Who's envying you? It's not like I don't have them, and even if you do develop again, you still won't compare to me!" Zhang Xinlan boasted.

"Hmph!" Liu Shihua snorted coldly, full of disdain.

"Shihua, do you have a man now?" Zhang Xinlan suddenly asked.

"Why would you say that?" Liu Shihua replied. "As a major star,.with natural beauty and stunning looks, which man in this world is worthy of me?"

"True, you're too picky. There probably isn't a man born yet who could catch your eye," Zhang Xinlan said. "But, I always feel there's an added scent to you, the scent of a woman!"

"..."

Liu Shihua's heart skipped a beat, frightened into silence. She feared she might accidentally give herself away and expose her relationship with Ye Chen.

Liu Shihua's intuition was very accurate, but now she realized that Zhang Xinlan's intuition was equally sharp!

"Your behavior is very suspicious. Are you sure you don't actually have a boyfriend?!" Zhang Xinlan finally sensed something was off.

"No!" Liu Shihua denied smoothly.

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be dealt with sternly!" Zhang Xinlan pressed.

"I already said no, you're really annoying!" Liu Shihua was exasperated. "Keep guessing if you want, but I'm going to take a shower."

"This Liu Shihua, she definitely has some secret she's keeping from me!"

After Liu Shihua left, Zhang Xinlan lay on the bed, thinking about Liu Shihua's business.

"Ah, Shihua's phone!" Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up as she grabbed Liu Shihua's phone from beside the bed. "If this girl has a boyfriend or is hiding some little secret, then just flipping through her phone will reveal it all!"

"Huh, there are video recordings?"

Zhang Xinlan had intended to look through Liu Shihua's photo album but inadvertently discovered some deeply hidden video recordings.

"So that's how it is, they've been together all this time!"

After a while, Zhang Xinlan suddenly looked toward the bathroom, a startling hostility surging through her.

"Liu Shihua, I treated you like a dear sister, but I never thought I was harboring a tiger!" Zhang Xinlan mocked sadly. "Ye Chen, you've disappointed me greatly. If you wanted to fool around, you could've found other women!" But you ended up with Liu Shihua, completely disregarding my feelings!"

Zhang Xinlan's love turned to hate, brewing a remarkable resentment.

"Ye Chen, Liu Shihua, getting to know you and even deepening our relationship was truly my blindness!"

Zhang Xinlan didn't cry out or confront Liu Shihua, nor did she do anything crazy.

Zhang Xinlan let out a long sigh, put Liu Shihua's phone back in its place, and then returned to her own room.

After a while, Liu Shihua finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom.

"Why is Xinlan gone? Could it be that Ye Chen has come back?" Liu Shihua wondered aloud.

Zhang Xinlan had just been in the room, but now she had vanished, leading Liu Shihua to believe Ye Chen might have returned.

"Bang!"

The room door was suddenly kicked open, startling Liu Shihua.

"Xinlan, what are you doing? How could you kick the door like that!"

Liu Shihua hadn't picked up on anything amiss and loudly scolded Zhang Xinlan for her bad behavior.

"Liu Shihua, how can you do this to me?"

Zhang Xinlan came charging over, a fierce look in her eyes as she brandished a kitchen knife.

"Ah!" Liu Shihua let out a shrill scream in fright.

"Zhang Xinlan, have you lost your mind? Why are you scaring me with a kitchen knife!" Liu Shihua exclaimed, still unsettled.

"If I don't chop you up with this kitchen knife, I would be the real idiot!" Zhang Xinlan nearly roared. "Liu Shihua, how could you do that with Ye Chen? How could you do this to me?!"

"What did Ye Chen and I do? Don't falsely accuse me!" Liu Shihua wasn't about to be intimidated.

"You're still trying to deny it?" Zhang Xinlan said with a mocking laugh.

"Xinlan, can you put the knife down first? There really isn't anything between Ye Chen and me!" Liu Shihua pleaded with a hint of cuteness.

"Liu Shihua, you're nothing but a sly little fox!" Zhang Xinlan spat out angrily. "I treated you like a sister, pampered you in every way, but in the end, you stole my man!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean," Liu Shihua replied, looking genuinely confused.

"Stop pretending, you and Ye Chen did that thing, and to make it worse, you shamelessly recorded a video. I've seen the video on the phone!" Zhang Xinlan said, tears uncontrollably began surging out of her eyes, the knife in her hand trembling as it threatened to chop down on Liu Shihua.

"You, don't get so worked up!" Liu Shihua finally began to panic.

"Not get worked up? You've been sneaking around with Ye Chen behind my back, how do you expect me not to be worked up?" Zhang Xinlan really wanted to split this temptress in two.

"..." Liu Shihua was at a loss for words, because she had no defense.

"I'll split you in two!" Zhang Xinlan brought the knife down, but clearly, she didn't really want to hurt Liu Shihua seriously; she just wanted to scare her.

"Ah!" Liu Shihua narrowly dodged the knife, but she looked utterly terrified.

"Scared?"

Zhang Xinlan, clutching the knife, forced Liu Shihua to keep backing up until she hit a corner with no way out.

"Xinlan, please don't do anything rash, okay?" Liu Shihua cried. "Ye Chen and I are truly in love!"

"Your so-called true love can go to hell!" Zhang Xinlan cursed coarsely, bringing down the knife towards Liu Shihua.

"Ah!" Liu Shihua screamed, holding her head.

"Bang!"

Liu Shihua was overtaken by boundless fear, afraid that Zhang Xinlan would really split her open with the knife, but the blade ultimately did not fall on her; instead, it struck the wall beside her fiercely.

"Still scared?" Zhang Xinlan asked, looking at Liu Shihua with an almost crazed smile.

"I'm scared!" Liu Shihua truly was frightened.

"Haha!"

In the end, under Liu Shihua's terrified gaze, Zhang Xinlan's knife came down, its sharp edge tearing flesh and blood, drips of blood fell on Liu Shihua's face, leaving her looking ashen-faced, the wall behind her stained red with blood.

...

"Hmm? Why do I suddenly feel so restless?"

The War King was battling a notable figure in the ring, Ye Chen sought to temper himself with such mighty momentum, but just as he was gaining deep insight, he was seized by an inexplicable, heart-stopping alarm.

"This sudden feeling of unease... could it be that something's happened to Zhang Xinlan and the others?" Ye Chen felt a chill, grasping at the essence of heaven and earth, his martial prowess at its peak, he knew such a premonition couldn't be baseless!

Ye Chen's foreboding arose from the void, something that only occurred in face of a great calamity.

With the Chaos King by his side, even if demons danced wildly, it wouldn't cause him a tremor, which meant that Ye Chen's foreboding must relate to someone deeply connected to him!

Currently, the three people deeply connected to Ye Chen were Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, and Liu Shihua—all three were his significant others!
