The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 185: John’s Secret

What a self-controlled gentleman, Alice thought.

Feeling the same sort of baffled sympathy, Alice said kindly, "Miss Wood, don't be sad. I already gave this little bastard a good beating for you. And honestly... I support your relationship with him."

"...What?"

Emily and John both stared at her in shock.

Wait a minute.

The plot just went off the rails.

"You're serious?" John asked, wide-eyed.

"Of course." Alice blinked her seductive eyes and said, "There are already seven of us anyway. One more won't make a difference."

"...Alice, your mindset is way too progressive. I can't keep up."

"Cut the crap. I want results tonight! Accumulate some experience already... Miss Wood, be bold. Do whatever you want with him. I don't believe this little bastard would dare resist!"

Emily was completely dumbfounded.

Her mind went blank.

Even if John didn't resist, she didn't have the courage to act! Especially not with someone else standing right there watching!

The room fell into an awkward silence.

But Alice wasn't done. She escalated the situation by pouncing on John, which scared him so much he curled up like a terrified kitten, trembling in the corner of the sofa.

"Alice! Tonight's a perfect opportunity... for cultivation!" he stammered, trying to redirect the situation.

"You coward. We're two beautiful women right in front of you, and all you care about is cultivation? Little John, I'm starting to suspect there's something seriously wrong with you!"

God help him—even this deflection didn't work on Alice.

Just as she started tugging at his clothes again, John gave in.

"Alright! I get it! You're doing this on purpose! I'll tell you the truth, okay?"

John had always known what Alice was up to. He also knew he couldn't hide the truth from her forever. Before mastering the Nameless Divine Skill, he couldn't afford to let his kidney yang leak out. That was the core reason behind his restraint.

As expected—

When Alice heard this, her expression shifted.

Then a triumphant gleam lit up her eyes.

"I knew it," she said. "I'm too irresistible for you not to be affected. Ha! So that's the real reason, huh..."

She grinned wickedly, slowly approaching him. Her pink tongue lightly traced her rosy lips in a sensual motion.

"I knew it!"

John's face darkened.

This was exactly why he had been reluctant to tell her. He understood Alice's nature far too well—she'd never stay quiet about a secret like this. Now that she knew, she'd feel free to push boundaries even more, because she knew he couldn't retaliate.

"You're playing with fire," he warned.

He shoved her away and ran to the bathroom, dousing himself with cold water.

After being pushed away, Alice wasn't upset at all. Instead, she burst into laughter, clutching her belly as she howled on the sofa without an ounce of grace. After laughing herself breathless, she turned to Emily and said, "Miss Wood, see that? This is the trick you have to use to deal with this little bastard in the future."

Emily was stunned.

For the first time, she felt sympathy for John.

His cultivation method came with such a bizarre restriction, and on top of that, he had to deal with an elder sister as beautiful and seductive as Alice. It must be torture.

But somehow, after everything, the sense of loss in her chest quietly faded.

Now she understood: John's rejection hadn't been because she wasn't attractive enough.

It was because of his cultivation.

That revelation made her feel a whole lot better.

A little while later—

John emerged from the bathroom.

Alice shot him a smug look, eyes full of mischief. "Little bastard, I know your secret now. From this point forward, you have to listen to me. Anytime I need help with cultivation, you must help me. Otherwise, I'll crawl into your bed every night and seduce you in every position I can think of."

John was speechless.

Hadn't she already been doing that?

But he wasn't going down without a fight. He replied coolly, "Alice, you and I cultivate the same technique. If I've got a problem... do you really think you can escape unscathed?"

After cooling off in the bathroom, he'd finally come up with a countermeasure against her antics.

"...What do you mean?" she asked warily.

"Heh..."

John gave a strange laugh but didn't move.

In the next second—

Alice jumped up from the sofa as if her butt had been scorched, screaming, "What the hell?! My life energy?! Where's my vital energy?! Why did it disappear?! You bastard!!"
