Chapter 896: Innate Talent Defying the Rules! The Man Who Was Stifled at Home!

Their gazes met, and time seemed to freeze.

The moment she heard those words, Wen Ran subconsciously sniffed.

The result moved her.

A warm current flowed through her heart, and a flash of emotion flickered deep in her eyes.

In a world full of deceit, Su Yang genuinely considered her.

With such words and behavior, Wen Ran actually felt as if she were living in a fairy tale.

For a moment she forgot her current situation.

She slowly brushed the large hand on her cheek, her delicate body trembling.

Her eyes became a bit moist.

She...

She smelled sincerity.

"Th... thank you." Wen Ran's voice no longer trembled, nor resisted.

She had already activated her Fragrance Sense Innate Talent when she entered.

The reason is simple—

She not only wanted to grab a Shortcut, but also to test Su Yang's attitude with this act.

If doing so would drive Su Yang into madness.

Then she would simply go with the mistake.

But if she were rejected…

In fact, Wen Ran never considered being rejected.

She hadn't at all considered the outcome of another direction.

As Su Yang said, while a player evolves, the levels of hormones and hormones also rise.

And "indulgence" is also one of the synonyms for the world in her eyes.

Regardless of gender, the vast majority of Ascend God Seeds vent pressure during the Buffer Period stage.

What courtesy, righteousness, integrity, and shame.

What ethics and moral standards?

It's merely a fleeting illusion.

Living in the present is truly the wise thing to do.

However…

Tonight Su Yang's behavior and words once refreshed her Cognition.

From start to finish, his Cixian did not change at all.

Those deep eyes were not tainted with any evil thought.

For a moment, Wen Ran wondered whether Su Yang liked men.

But the body's subconscious reaction does not lie.

Wen Ran caught a glimpse of an iceberg's tip.

As Su Yang said, those who can control instinct and Desire—are truly human!

Not beasts.

Finally, add his heartfelt words.

The grievance and melancholy in Wen Ran's heart seemed to find an opening.

They poured out in one rush.

No one had ever told her these.

Never before.

"Swish!"

"Here."

A tissue appeared before her.

Wen Ran reached out, took it, and whispered thanks.

Su Yang just watched quietly, then tossed the used tissue into the trash can.

He then said, "Your displayed resistance shows that deep down you resist this unequal 'transaction'."

"Everyone's Survival path differs; I don't think there's a hierarchy."

"It just doesn't apply to me."

A sudden impulse surged in Wen Ran's heart, and she blurted out, "Actually, Lin Jin never did anything to me."

Su Yang narrowed his eyes, "Is that so?"

Wen Ran hummed and said seriously, "He doesn't lack desire, he just lacks courage."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Yang asked.

Wen Ran fell silent, a deliberative look appearing in her eyes.

It seemed she was weighing pros and cons.

Seeing this, Su Yang did not disturb, and simply sat quietly at the bedside.

Moonlight streamed into the room, as if salt were scattered across the floor.

From time to time, the sound of waves crashing on the shore could be heard.

It washed away some of the gloom.

Finally, at the instant the clock froze at 1 a. m.

Wen Ran opened, "I heard about your Plunder Plan!"

Su Yang's face showed surprise, but he quickly regained calm, "When?"

"Two hours ago, while chatting in the backyard, I heard Ximen Zhirou mention it," Wen Ran said.

Su Yang shrugged, "You'll eventually learn of this plan."

Wen Ran hesitated a moment, then mustered courage and asked, "Will you act against us?"

"What?" Su Yang thought he misheard and asked again.

"You have Wan Shi Tong; you know what I'm talking about," Wen Ran stared fixedly into Su Yang's eyes.

Su Yang caught on, curiously asking, "You mean Rare Talent, right?"

"Instead of waiting for you to ask, I'll tell the truth now," Wen Ran inhaled, then said, "Among the six newcomers, one meets the criteria!"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

He was not surprised by this.

Because long before the gamble with Lin Jin began, Zhuge Chen had Investigation into the opposing team's details.

Among more than ten people, a total of two possessed Rare Talent.

Besides Lin Jin, there was one other.

He had intended to let the truth surface gradually.

He never expected Wen Ran to state it outright.

That saved a lot of effort.

"It's that frail girl, right?" Su Yang said softly.

"Yes," Wen Ran nodded, continuing, "I only now realize that the Talent that needs unlocking is Rare."

Su Yang recalled the scene when he entered.

Compared with Wang Defa's fierce exterior and timid interior, that seemingly wind‑fragile girl was the calmest.

Thus, Su Yang deliberately revealed the Demon's eye, giving her a warning.

Now hearing Wen Ran's words, he didn't expect he was actually correct.

"May I ask you to elaborate?" Su Yang asked.

"Even if I don't say it, you'll go ask yourself," Wen Ran blinked.

Su Yang smiled without taking a stance.

Wen Ran let out a light hum, tightened his nightgown, and said in a gentle stream‑like voice, "I don't fully understand the specific effect of her Talent."

"The night I first joined Lin Jin's team, he tried to do me wrong."

"Although I was unwilling in every way, I couldn't break the Life‑Death Contract."

"Compared with death, I'd rather swallow all grievance."

"I originally thought of it as just a dog bite, but I didn't expect Lin Jin to be suddenly repelled by an inexplicable force."

"Later Qing He arrived, and she bluntly forbade any such act toward any team member."

"Otherwise she would make Lin Jin regret it."

At those words, Su Yang furrowed his brow.

One Talent could make a wayward, violent person like Lin Jin submit?

Wen Ran glanced at Su Yang and explained, "Lin Jin was furious; he intended to execute Qing He outright."

"But when he invoked the Life‑Death Contract, that force reappeared."

"Lin Jin failed, and he was at a loss."

"Later I heard he reached some agreement with Qing He."

"As long as he doesn't move us, he can sit peacefully on the Ascend God Seed position."

"Since then, Lin Jin never allocates any Faith Value to us; he fears missing the throne."

"Perhaps he also knows that if the Ascend God Seed is taken, the outcome cannot escape a death."

After listening, Su Yang had a vague notion of the Talent called Qing He.

"How utterly stifling," Su Yang shook his head and laughed wryly.

Being restrained to this extent.

No wonder the naturally brutal Lin Jin is so Crazy.

Surely that's why he vents all his anger on the women he meets in the Death Game.

For example—

Yan Ke!

A man who suffers humiliation at home.

Will find ways to vent outside.

Even the right to give or take life has been stripped.

To become the Ascend God Seed to this extent.

Across the world, this is a unique family.
