Chapter 133: Possessive
Then Yin Suyi took his left hand.
Shen Yan took his right.
Shen Tian looked down.
"...This is still happening?"
Yin Suyi smiled.
"We aren’t fighting."
Shen Yan leaned lightly against him.
"We’re sharing."
The way she said the word made it clear that she hated every part of it.
They moved into the living room.
Shen Tian sat on the center sofa.
Yin Suyi immediately sat to his left.
Shen Yan immediately sat to his right.
The sofa was large enough for six people.
They used less than half of it.
Yin Suyi placed one hand on Shen Tian’s shoulder.
"You look tired."
"I’m not."
"You should lie down."
Shen Yan gently pulled him toward her side.
"He can rest against me."
Yin Suyi pulled him back.
"He used to sleep on my lap as a child."
"He isn’t a child."
"He will always be my child."
"He is my little Tian."
Yin Suyi’s gaze sharpened.
"Your little Tian?"
Shen Yan smiled.
"My younger brother."
The clarification did not make Yin Suyi look any happier.
Shen Tian resisted as both women attempted to pull him in opposite directions.
"Stop."
They froze.
He looked at his mother.
Then his sister.
Finally... He leaned backward into the center of the sofa.
"I’ll sit normally."
Yin Suyi looked disappointed.
Shen Yan looked equally disappointed.
For once... They agreed on something.
A maid entered carrying fresh tea.
Yin Suyi immediately reached for the tray.
"I’ll serve little Tian."
Shen Yan reached for it at the same time.
"I’ll do it."
The maid stopped.
Her hands trembled slightly beneath the tray.
Shen Tian noticed.
"I’ll pour it myself."
The maid looked at him with unmistakable gratitude.
"Of course, Young Master."
She placed the tray down and escaped.
Yin Suyi watched her go.
Then she looked toward Shen Yan.
"You’re frightening the staff."
Shen Yan stared at her.
"You frightened them first."
"I am the mistress of this household."
"And I am little Tian’s personal protector."
"That doesn’t give you authority over every servant."
"It does when they’re near him."
"They’ve served him since childhood."
"That doesn’t mean they’re trustworthy."
Yin Suyi smiled coldly.
"I selected them."
Shen Yan smiled back.
"Then perhaps your standards need improvement."
Another wave of tension filled the room.
Shen Tian poured his tea.
Slowly. Calmly.
As though refusing to acknowledge the silent war occurring on either side of him.
Xu Ning floated in front of him.
[Host.]
[Would you like me to create an emergency distraction?]
’What kind?’
[A fake intruder.]
’That would make everything worse.’
[A business emergency?]
’Mother would stay.’
[A cultivation crisis?]
’My sister would stay.’
Xu Ning thought for a moment.
[A sale at their favorite clothing store?]
Shen Tian stared at her.
’They’re yanderes, not cartoon characters.’
[The distinction is narrowing.]
Yin Suyi suddenly remembered something.
Her expression brightened.
"Shen Tian."
Shen Tian looked over.
"Yes?"
"I brought you something from my trip. I had forgot to give it to you..."
She reached into her handbag.
Shen Yan’s eyes narrowed immediately.
Yin Suyi removed a small velvet box.
Inside was an elegant golden wristwatch.
Its face was crafted from dark crystal.
A subtle spiritual formation had been engraved into the metal.
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
"A defensive artifact?"
Yin Suyi nodded.
"It can withstand three attacks... But it’s only against normal people."
Shen Yan stared at the watch.
Yin Suyi gently took Shen Tian’s wrist.
"I commissioned it for you."
She fastened it carefully.
"It suits you."
Shen Tian examined it.
"Thank you, Mother."
Yin Suyi smiled.
Shen Yan remained silent.
Too silent.
Then she stood.
"Wait here."
She walked out of the room.
Yin Suyi watched her leave.
"Where is she going?"
Shen Tian already knew.
"Probably to find something more expensive."
Yin Suyi gave a quiet hum.
"She won’t."
Three minutes later...
Shen Yan returned carrying a long black case.
Yin Suyi’s expression became guarded.
Shen Yan opened it.
Inside rested a silver necklace.
At its center was a small crimson stone surrounded by intricate runes.
Shen Tian immediately sensed the energy contained within it.
"This..."
Shen Yan lifted it carefully.
"I made it during my training."
"You made it?" She nodded.
"It tracks your condition."
Her voice softened.
"If your heartbeat becomes irregular, it alerts me."
Yin Suyi’s eyes narrowed.
"It tracks him?"
"It also creates a shield."
"How strong?"
"Enough to stop any attack!"
Yin Suyi looked down at her own gift.
Then back at the necklace.
Shen Yan smiled sweetly.
"I spent four months making it."
Yin Suyi’s smile tightened.
"How thoughtful."
"I thought so."
Shen Yan moved behind Shen Tian.
She fastened the necklace around his neck. Her fingers lingered against the back of his collar.
"There."
She returned to her seat and admired it.
"It suits you."
Shen Tian touched the crimson stone.
"Thank you, Big Sis."
Shen Yan smiled triumphantly.
Yin Suyi immediately spoke. "Tian."
"Hm?"
"The watch is more practical for daily wear."
Shen Yan looked over.
"The necklace is more powerful."
"The watch is discreet."
"The necklace protects his heart."
"The watch protects his entire body."
"The necklace allows me to find him."
Yin Suyi stared at her.
"That isn’t the advantage you think it is."
"It is to me."
Shen Tian looked at the watch.
Then the necklace.
He sighed.
"I’ll wear both."
The competition ended instantly.
Yin Suyi smiled.
Shen Yan smiled.
Both had won.
More importantly... Neither had lost.
Xu Ning nodded.
[Diplomatic solution.]
[You may survive after all.]
The front doors opened again.
Several voices carried through the entrance hall.
Ling Shuangxue.
Bai Xue.
Qin Ruobing.
Li Lian.
Ruan Yizhen.
Chu Zijin.
Chu Mei.
Chu Chuchu.
Chu Luoshen.
They had arrived after hearing about the attack.
"Shen Tian!"
Shen Yan turned toward the entrance.
Her affectionate gaze transformed into open suspicion.
The women entered the living room.
Then stopped.
Yin Suyi held one arm.
Shen Yan held the other.
The atmosphere around them was so territorial that even Bai Xue hesitated.
"...Are we interrupting something?"
Shen Tian answered immediately.
"Well..."
"Yes." Both Yin Suyi and Shen Yan turned toward him.
He corrected himself. "You see how it is..."
Ling Shuangxue looked at Shen Yan.
"So you’re Shen Tian’s older sister."
Shen Yan stared back.
"And you’re Ling Shuangxue."
It wasn’t a question.
Ling Shuangxue noticed.
"You know me?"
"I investigated everyone around little Tian before returning."
The room became quiet.
Bai Xue raised an eyebrow.
"Everyone?"
"Everyone." Shen Yan’s gaze swept across them.
Pure evaluation. Cold. Suspicious. Disapproving.
Then Shen Tian spoke.
"Big Sis."
She immediately smiled.
"They all seem wonderful."
The transformation was so sudden that several women blinked.
Yin Suyi noticed their reactions.
She sighed. "Don’t mind her. She dislikes everyone."
Shen Yan looked toward her mother.
"Not everyone." She leaned against Shen Tian’s shoulder. "I like little Tian."
Yin Suyi immediately pulled Shen Tian slightly toward her.
"So do I."
The women exchanged glances.
Bai Xue covered her mouth.
"Are they..."
Qin Ruobing whispered back.
"Competing."
Ling Shuangxue watched silently.
Then... The corner of her lips curved upward.
This was going to be troublesome.
And incredibly entertaining.
Shen Tian finally stood. Both women reluctantly released him.
He looked around the crowded room.
"Everyone came because they were worried."
He turned toward Yin Suyi.
"Mother."
Then Shen Yan.
"Big Sis. Please behave."
Yin Suyi placed one hand against her chest.
"I always behave."
Shen Yan smiled innocently. "As do I."
Every woman in the room knew that neither statement was true.
Shen Tian looked unconvinced.
But he had survived protagonists... Assassins... Cultivation tournaments...
Surely... He could survive one afternoon with his mother and sister.
Then Yin Suyi took his left arm again.
Shen Yan took his right.
Both began leading him toward the dining room.
"You need another meal."
"You barely ate breakfast."
"I already ate."
"Not enough."
"You need more protein."
"And fruit."
"And tea."
Shen Tian allowed himself to be dragged away.
Behind them... Xu Ning floated after the group.
[Host.]
[Correction.]
[I must say again... This may be the greatest danger you have ever faced.]
Shen Tian closed his eyes.
’I know. Yanderes can be dangerous... I’ll need to be smart about this.’
