Genshin Impact: Villain Life Sim

Just as Lucas had said to Yelan earlier:

What's youth without a bit of recklessness?

And his recklessness was fully reflected in his interactions with Chuyi.

The maid, who was harsh and stern with outsiders, reserved all her gentleness for the young master who had saved her on a snowy night.

The dust settled.

Chuyi adjusted her clothing and patted Lucas on the back. "Young master, you should rest for a bit longer. I need to get back to work."

"You don't have to work so hard," Lucas said, still basking in the aftermath of their intimacy. "I mean, considering our relationship—"

"Young master, please don't misunderstand," Chuyi interrupted as she stood, smiling. "I'm a maid of the Yan Shang Teahouse. I work to earn my keep. What happens between us is by my choice, not for any other reason."

Watching Chuyi's figure as she walked away, Lucas's face showed a faint, helpless smile.

Yelan's attack was likely only the beginning. The Yan Shang Teahouse would probably face more trouble in the future. As a wayward young master, Lucas wondered how much longer he could enjoy his carefree life.

[Mission Complete: Defeat Yelan in Gambling]

[Reward Acquired: God of Gambling's Card Manipulation Technique]

Effect: In any card game, you can change one card into any card of your choice (usable once per round).

Impressive—a skill that effectively lets you print cards on the spot.

With this new skill and his previous Gambler's Prowess talent, Lucas felt certain that future Seven Saints Summon tournaments were practically guaranteed victories.

[Age 19]: Just as you expected, after Yelan's departure, the Yan Shang Teahouse experienced a series of minor incidents. Though none caused significant damage, they were troublesome enough to leave you and your father feeling uneasy.

Over the years, while the casino business grew bigger, so did the risks. Anticipating potential emergencies, you and your father had long prepared an escape plan. However, just as you were about to leave, two men appeared at the entrance, blocking your way.

One was dressed in black and wore a mask, while the other, an orange-haired young man who seemed only slightly older than you, smiled and said, "Master Li, I won't stop you from leaving, but before you go, at least settle your 'debts.'"

"F-Fatui?" Your father's expression turned to panic, but he quickly shouted, "How dare you trespass on private property! Guards! The Yan Shang Teahouse has its own way of dealing with guests. Attack!"

At his command, the teahouse's bodyguards, skilled fighters recruited from underground arenas, rushed forward with their weapons. Though they lacked Vision powers, they were formidable. However, the orange-haired man effortlessly summoned two bluish-grey daggers and took them all down with ease.

"Son, run!" Seeing the danger, your father charged at the orange-haired man, hoping to buy you some time. But he was no match. The bluish dagger pierced his chest, and blood sprayed everywhere.

You were filled with rage, but before you could react, a sharp pain erupted in your chest. The other debt collector had appeared behind you, stabbing you with a short blade. Darkness consumed you, and you lost consciousness.

When you regained consciousness, you were shocked to find yourself in an interrogation room. Sitting across from you was none other than Yelan!

"Yelan?" Lucas's head throbbed as he glanced around, frowning. "Where is this? What happened to my father?"

Yelan gave a cold smile. "The owner of the Yan Shang Teahouse colluded with the Fatui but fell out with them over profits. As a result, he was assassinated by their agents."

"What?" Lucas's eyes widened in disbelief. "He… is he dead?"

"Yes. You and your father secretly conspired with Snezhnaya, committing unforgivable crimes." Yelan threw a stack of documents onto the table. "The evidence is conclusive. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I knew nothing about this," Lucas shook his head. "Let me out of here—I need to see my father's… body."

"There's no need. Your father's body has already been disposed of," Yelan said with a faint smile. "As for you, technically speaking, you no longer 'exist.'"

"Don't exist?" Lucas murmured. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's simple. I'm in charge of this case. When I reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I declared that both you and your father were dead," Yelan said, crossing her arms. "In other words, you are now a dead man."

"I see…" Lucas chuckled bitterly. "You're using this opportunity to kill me and settle our previous score, aren't you?"

While the Ministry of Civil Affairs wouldn't condone such actions, Yelan certainly had the skills to fake his death and hide the truth.

"Kill you?" Yelan scoffed. "That would be far too easy. I plan to torment you instead, making you spend the rest of your life repaying me for the humiliation you caused me!"

With that, Yelan flipped the table over and kicked Lucas to the ground.

In reality, Lucas might have been more than a match for Yelan. But in this simulation, stripped of his Vision and combat abilities, he was no match for her.

Should've picked a combat talent, Lucas thought to himself.

Standing over him, Yelan kicked off her high heels, revealing her pale, delicate feet. She placed one on his face and smirked. "I told you I'd repay you tenfold for what you did. You made me lick one toe—now I'll make you lick all ten. Lick!"

"Fine, I'll lick."

Lucas nodded and, to Yelan's surprise, actually knelt before her and cupped her foot in his hands.

"Heh…"

Yelan's face lit up with a smug smile as she said, "Make sure to clean it properly, even between the toes. If you miss a spot, I won't let you off easily."

Lucas sneered coldly. Without warning, he opened his mouth and bit down on Yelan's toe.

A sharp pain shot through Yelan's foot, but her battle-hardened instincts kicked in. Without hesitation, she unleashed a powerful kick, sending Lucas flying. Despite that, her pale, delicate toe was left bloodied from his bite.
