Herrscher of the Void Authority: Can Anything Be NTR'd? / For a Homewrecker, Coercion Is the Worst Approach; Winning Her Heart Is Best
Kiana had witnessed Su Moqian's death right before her eyes in a dream, and the shock it had caused her was incomparable.
"I refuse! I'll keep a close eye on you and absolutely won't let you take any risks!" Kiana said with red-rimmed eyes and a forced smile.
Seeing how worried Kiana was for him, Su Moqian felt deeply moved. He smiled faintly.
"Alright, I promise. As long as you're watching me, I definitely won't take any risks."
Chapter 53: The Herrscher of the Void's Authority—Can Anything Be a Bull?
The next morning, just after Su Moqian woke up, before he had even opened his eyes, the system's notification sounded in his mind:
[Congratulations, host. Kiana's current favorability toward you has reached 80 points!]
"Favorability?" Su Moqian was stunned, then suddenly remembered.
Since this function couldn't be used on anyone other than a target he was pursuing, he had not used it for so long that he had forgotten the system could check favorability.
"I didn't expect her favorability to have already reached eighty." Su Moqian was slightly amazed.
During this period, he had never thought of checking Kiana's favorability.
So learning that it had risen so much all at once still surprised him.
[Since Kiana's favorability toward the host has reached the required standard, this system has successfully acquired the Herrscher of the Void's authority for you!] [However, the host must understand one thing: the Herrscher of the Void's authority still exists within Kiana. You have merely obtained the qualification to borrow it.] [Reminder: In the current world, Herrscher authority is fixed at one. In other words, the more authority the host borrows, the less authority Kiana can use.] [Warning: The Herrscher of the Void within Kiana is still dormant. If the host uses too much Herrscher authority, it will awaken the Herrscher of the Void!]
"Wait, what? Herrscher authority?"
Su Moqian had just woken up and was still dazed, unable to understand what was happening.
He naturally knew very well how terrifying the Herrschers were.
His mother had once told him that every Herrscher was the ultimate manifestation of some physical law. They possessed immense Honkai Energy, and the destructive power they could unleash was terrifying.
"Such a terrifying Herrscher is actually sleeping inside Kiana?" Su Moqian's brows furrowed tightly.
Compared with the Herrscher of the Void's authority the system had obtained for him, he cared more about Kiana's safety.
Someone like Kiana should have been able to live a happy life.
Yet a Herrscher capable of causing a major disaster at any moment existed inside her!
Su Moqian could hardly imagine what kind of ending awaited Kiana if the Herrscher within her awakened.
At the same time, this meant that his wish to protect Kiana in the garden had risen directly to hellish difficulty!
Even so, Su Moqian would not give up.
"Competing with a Herrscher for Herrscher authority... Can anything be a bull? You really are something, Blondie Simulator." Su Moqian chuckled.
He understood the system's notification at a glance.
At the same time, Su Moqian realized that he had to grow stronger as quickly as possible.
Only then could he firmly suppress the Herrscher of the Void when competing for authority and prevent her from borrowing Kiana's body to wreak destruction.
Moreover, he discovered that his system seemed to be slowly growing stronger as well. It was no longer as useless as it had been at the beginning.
This was a good start. If he and the system worked hard together, then Cocolia would be nothing to worry about!
"Mm, I'd better get up first."
After closing the system panel, Su Moqian opened his eyes and prepared to get out of bed.
However, he suddenly discovered that Kiana, still asleep, was clinging to him like an octopus.
She had been like this the night before. After experiencing that dream, Kiana had seemed afraid that he would run away and had pressed him firmly against the bed.
With no room to exert his strength, Su Moqian had been no match for Kiana's monstrous strength. In the end, he had no choice but to let her be and sleep beside her.
He had not expected that morning would come and Kiana still would not let him go.
Just how afraid was she that he would go and get himself killed?
Su Moqian helplessly pulled out one arm, then patted Kiana's face and said softly:
"Hey, Kiana, could you let go of me?"
"Mm~"
Kiana, still dreaming, did not seem to understand him and merely made an unwilling sound.
Seeing this, Su Moqian sighed, patted her face again, and said:
"Kiana, let go of me for now. I'm going to make you breakfast. Don't you want breakfast?"
At this, Kiana finally reacted.
Her arms around Su Moqian's arm slowly loosened, and he took the opportunity to escape her grasp.
Looking at Kiana, who was still asleep, Su Moqian shook his head helplessly before turning and heading to the kitchen.
However, he soon discovered that Kiana's kitchen was completely empty. There was nothing at all.
"This Kiana... Why is there nothing in the kitchen? Does she eat takeout every day?" Su Moqian frowned.
He had originally wanted to cook for Kiana himself, but with nothing available, he had no choice but to go out and buy something.
After leaving Kiana a note, Su Moqian walked out the door.
At that moment, Su Moqian suddenly wanted to try out this so-called Herrscher authority.
So he asked aloud:
"System, without disturbing the Herrscher of the Void, how much Herrscher authority can I use?"
[After detection, the host's safe range of usable authority is within ten percent.]
Hearing this, Su Moqian frowned slightly. "Only ten percent? Isn't that a little too little..."
His understanding of the Herrschers was limited to a few descriptions from Schicksal, so Su Moqian had no clear idea of how powerful they actually were.
Regardless, ten percent did indeed seem somewhat insufficient.
"Forget it. One should be content with what one has. At the very least, this is Herrscher authority, which means I have one more trump card."
To people from Shenzhou, combat was not merely a contest of strength and skill. Most important of all was the battle of intelligence.
The less the enemy knew about you, the greater your chances of victory.
And why did traditional martial arts often suffer when facing mixed martial arts? To a large extent, it was because those "masters" were too arrogant and looked down on their opponents.
Even elementary school students knew that before a match, they should memorize their opponent's moves!
It was like certain Soulslike game players, who understood a boss's skills more thoroughly than the boss itself!
If the martial arts masters of the past learned that someone wanted to challenge them, they would spend that very night memorizing the enemy's fighting style until they knew it by heart, simulating every possible situation in their minds. They would practically uncover every secret the opponent had!
As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you would never lose a battle.
That was also why people from Shenzhou always liked to keep five, six, seven, eight, or nine moves in reserve.
"Oh dear, my thoughts have wandered again. I'd better go buy breakfast for Kiana first." Su Moqian shook his head.
After thinking it over, he decided to suppress his curiosity and wait until he returned home to try it. That would be the safest option.
A short while later, Su Moqian arrived on the street.
As he considered what to buy for Kiana, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts:
"Good morning, Mr. Su."
"Hm? That voice...?"
Su Moqian looked toward the voice and saw a young, beautiful married woman walking toward him. It was Mrs. Hayaki, whom he had met before.
Today, she wore a dress that accentuated her figure. Her mature, voluptuous body made every passerby glance at her twice.
Chapter 54: For the Blondie, Threats Are Inferior; Attacking the Heart Is Superior
"So it's you, Mrs. Hayaki. Good morning." Su Moqian raised a hand in greeting, then asked:
"How is your daughter resting at home?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Hayaki smiled faintly.
"She's resting very well. She should be able to return to school normally in a day or two. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for helping her that day."
"It was nothing. We're classmates, after all."
Facing Mrs. Hayaki's gratitude, Su Moqian waved his hand indifferently.
"You can't say that. To save my daughter, you put yourself in danger as well. I have to repay you properly, or my conscience won't let me rest."
Mrs. Hayaki shook her head, then suggested:
"How about we find somewhere to discuss how I should repay you?"
Su Moqian forced a smile. "No need, Mrs. Hayaki. I still have something to do."
With that, Su Moqian turned to leave, but Mrs. Hayaki grabbed his hand.
"Mr. Su, please. This is really important..."
Su Moqian turned back in surprise and saw the pleading look in Mrs. Hayaki's eyes.
Su Moqian hesitated for a moment. Considering that she might have some special purpose, he eventually nodded helplessly.
"Alright."
A short while later, Su Moqian stared pensively at the couples' hotel before him.
Wasn't she supposed to discuss how to repay him?
He understood the reasoning, but what was the meaning of coming to a couples' hotel?
While Su Moqian stood there in a daze, Mrs. Hayaki had already booked a room.
With one hand holding the key card, she impatiently pulled Su Moqian into the hotel with the other.
Watching Mrs. Hayaki's increasingly hurried steps, Su Moqian could not help feeling puzzled.
"Could she really be that desperate?"
After thinking it over, Su Moqian silently took out his phone and turned on the recording function.
After all, Su Moqian was not some improper person. If Mrs. Hayaki truly harbored ill intentions, he would simply turn around and leave.
Although he did like older women, there was still a hungry Kiana waiting at home. He could not possibly leave her there alone.
After entering the room, Mrs. Hayaki quickly closed the door.
Next, she went to the window, pulled the curtains shut, and switched on the hotel lights.
"Mr. Su, come sit down."
As she spoke, Mrs. Hayaki swayed her hips and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly lifting her long skirt to reveal the garter straps beneath it...
With a seductive expression, she said, "Let's properly discuss how you should be repaid~"
Seeing this, Su Moqian's expression darkened.
"Mrs. Hayaki, you didn't bring me here for this, did you?"
Hearing this, the seductive look on Mrs. Hayaki's face froze, but she quickly recovered and continued:
"Mr. Su, this is exactly why I called you here. Don't you want to have a little fun?"
After saying this, Mrs. Hayaki's eyes sharpened, and she shook her head.
Su Moqian: "?"
Just as Su Moqian was wondering what was going on, Mrs. Hayaki pointed at her mouth and shook her head again.
