Douluo Dalu (Soul Land): Villain Life Simulator

In the early morning, inside the luxurious room at the top floor of the hotel, Su Cheng sat shirtless on the spacious, soft bed, his eyes closed in deep thought.

Beside him, a beautiful woman with delicate features lay facing away, her long blue hair spread smoothly across the pillow. A thin blanket covered her graceful, fair-skinned body, with only her snow-white shoulders and slender neck exposed. Her skin still showed large patches of redness, along with clearly visible traces of messy kiss marks.

Ah Yin's eyes were tightly shut, seemingly in deep sleep, with a slight trace of moisture still at the corners, as if she had just cried.

It wasn't because anything forceful had happened—it was just her constitution.

Whenever they reached a crucial point, just a bit more intensity in their actions would easily push her beyond her limits. Under such nearly overwhelming sensory stimulation, her emotions would become uncontrollably chaotic, triggering various instinctive reactions.

After being apart for so long and reuniting in a hotel room, it was impossible for them to only talk about serious matters as they had claimed. Of course, they had to engage in some physical activity to rekindle their bond.

There's no better way than this kind of intimacy to restore their former closeness.

Su Cheng opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and glanced at Ah Yin, who was breathing steadily. He wasn't sure if she was pretending to sleep out of shyness. He didn't wake her but instead focused inward, sensing his own power.

Ah Yin's unique body, distinct from both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, along with the strange energy flowing within her that differed from soul power, had greatly benefited Su Cheng. This fact had already been proven in the real world.

After their physical union last night, the breakthrough he had expected to reach in at least three years had happened in just one night, allowing him to surpass the bottleneck imposed by his body's age and ascend to the divine level.

However, the benefits of last night's exercise didn't stop there.

He didn't like to divide his attention between pleasure and evaluating his gains. The union of Yin and Yang is a cosmic principle, not something to be desecrated by mundane cultivation matters.

Only after entering a "sage mode" did Su Cheng seriously examine his changes.

With a thought, a Martial Soul emerged.

It wasn't the Eternal Sword he usually used, but his seldom-used second Martial Soul: the Innate Formation Diagram.

Unlike the previously colorless energy array, this second Martial Soul now emitted a yellow-brown aura, radiating a strong sense of solidity and weight.

That was the power of the earth, drawn from the special energy within Ah Yin. It was tenacious, enduring, and inexhaustible.

"I see."

Feeling the immense weight and power, along with the changes his Martial Soul fed back into his body, a look of realization flashed across Su Cheng's eyes.

This time, when he entered the simulation, it wasn't like before where he could select his talents. Instead, he was directly given three initial talents: True Physique (Replicated), Trajectory Magic Eye (Half-Sealed), and Bloodline Purification (Awakening Energy Insufficient).

He already understood the first two.

The replicated True Physique gave Su Cheng the same True Power that he had once acquired through a fortunate series of events in the real world, saving him the trouble of obtaining it again and significantly boosting his growth rate and potential in this simulation.

As for the Trajectory Magic Eye, it currently existed in the form of the True Vision Eye, meaning it was in a "half-sealed" state. Even in this form, it had provided him great assistance.

Su Cheng had been able to study the unique aspects of dragonkind from the vast remains in the Dragon Tomb largely because of this special external soul bone, which could see the essence of energy. Later on, it also aided him in researching the Dragon God's mental core and delving deeper into the Dragon God's bloodline. True Sight had been instrumental in all of these efforts.

However, this wasn't the true Trajectory Magic Eye; using it felt no different from his regular True Vision Eye in the real world.

Su Cheng speculated that it would take a specific trigger to unlock the seal and grant him the actual power of the Trajectory Magic Eye. He already had some ideas about what this trigger might be.

The third talent, Bloodline Purification, had puzzled Su Cheng for some time.

He had previously thought it might relate to the Dragon God's bloodline within him and that perhaps, with the growth of the Silver Dragon King, he might be able to extract useful powers from the Dragon God bloodline with her help in the future.

But after last night's wild activities, Su Cheng finally understood that he had been mistaken.

The phrase "insufficient awakening energy" wasn't related to Su Yue at all. Instead, it required an alternative form of power beyond the world's typical soul energy—such as the earth and natural forces within Ah Yin.

Even the term "bloodline" didn't refer to the Dragon God's bloodline but rather to his own.

Su Cheng had long known that Martial Souls stemmed from one's bloodline.

And the purified bloodline's benefit directly enhanced his seldom-used second Martial Soul.

"…"

As Su Cheng released his Martial Soul, Ah Yin silently opened her eyes and looked at him.

Her gentle autumn-colored eyes shimmered with a watery light, forming a stark contrast with her soft and delicate face, making her appear extremely alluring.

Just one glance was enough to stir a reaction in Su Cheng.

At the same time, Ah Yin noticed the fleeting red glimmer in his eyes. Her expression became a bit panicked, and she quickly lowered her gaze, avoiding eye contact.

She tugged at the blanket, wrapping herself up tightly.

Whether it was intentional or not, she curled up her legs beneath the blanket, turning her graceful figure into a rounded, dumpling-like shape. Su Cheng could only watch in exasperation.

"What are you doing? You've hogged the entire blanket. What about me?"

"You don't need a blanket," Ah Yin muttered, not looking at him. She then glanced curiously at the energy array hovering above his right hand, which exuded an aura very similar to hers. "What's up with your Martial Soul?"

She was aware that Su Cheng had this second Martial Soul, but she also knew it was a support-type Martial Soul, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which lacked any offensive power. As a result, Su Cheng rarely used it.

The only time she remembered seeing him use it was during the battle at Spirit Hall, in front of the Pope's Palace, when he publicly displayed it to defend against Tang Hao's powerful attack using a self-fusion Martial Soul technique.

"I'll explain that later." Su Cheng dismissed the Martial Soul and moved closer to her.

Despite her protests and resistance, he boldly slipped his arm under the blanket and gently kneaded a soft part of her body. "You should be able to break through now, right?"

"Mm." Ah Yin struggled to suppress the sounds from her nose, trying her best to keep her voice steady. "As long as I can condense a Soul Ring, I'll be able to break through to the Title Douluo level."

"Good. My power has increased significantly too. With your help, we can now proceed with our major plans."

"You still haven't told me what's really going on here." Ah Yin bit her lip and murmured, pressing down on the hand wandering across her body. "Ugh, can you stop fooling around for a moment?"

"This place isn't the real world. Nor is it the rebirth you imagined. Our consciousness has entered another world. This world could be a real space-time or perhaps a fictional fragment, or even a flawed timeline waiting to be corrected. These are just my speculations. But this is definitely not the real world we used to live in, nor the main world."

Ah Yin froze at his words, her face full of confusion.

She didn't fully understand many of the concepts Su Cheng had mentioned.

What did he mean by "another space-time"? What was the "main world"?

Were there really multiple worlds coexisting?

And if so, would that mean there were multiple versions of herself existing at the same time?

She found it hard to believe.

Su Cheng glanced at her, quickly guessing her thoughts. He smiled and said, "I just mentioned that everything I said was merely speculation. The truth doesn't really matter. Plus, you are you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if there were another 'Ah Yin,' you are still the most unique one."

"Mm," Ah Yin pursed her lips, a gentle curve forming at the corner of her mouth.

"You can think of this place as a dream."

"How could a dream feel so real? Besides, who realizes they're dreaming while they're in the dream? If I wanted to wake up, how would I do it?"

"Think of it as a dream, but not an ordinary one. Everything that happens here will affect the real world. Maybe even your real body might experience some changes because of it."

At this point, Su Cheng's voice suddenly stopped.

He had just realized a problem.

As a mission executor, whether he lived or died didn't really matter, as long as the mission was completed. He could perform whatever actions were necessary to achieve his goal, and once the simulation ended, he would return to reality.

But for someone like Ah Yin, would it be the same for her? Could she, like him, endure sacrifice without any consequences?

What was the true nature of the existence of the Mental Core?

She had entered this simulation with her memories of reality, even carrying special energy and physical traits from the real world. If she were to die in this simulated world by accident, would it lead to irreparable consequences?

As this thought crossed his mind, Su Cheng's expression darkened.

It wasn't just Ah Yin—other people who had gained the Mental Core but hadn't awakened their memories yet might face similar risks.

However, Xiao Xue, from the first simulation world, had died once, yet she retained the relevant memories in reality. Moreover, she even awakened a negative soul. From that perspective, it might not be as serious as he feared...

"What's wrong?" Noticing Su Cheng's change in expression, Ah Yin asked, a bit puzzled.

"It's nothing," Su Cheng shook his head, not wanting to worry her. After all, this was just a guess, and he could avoid such scenarios. As the mission progressed, he was confident he could uncover more secrets.

"You said earlier that you'd tell me the whole truth."

"…Fine."

Su Cheng sighed helplessly and explained, "You and I are not the same. This special world can be said to exist because of me, and I need to conduct certain experiments here. This isn't the first time something like this has happened—my True Power was developed little by little during these processes. But the fact that you can carry over your consciousness from reality surprised me. Now, my concern is that if this world ends, it might have negative consequences for the real you."

"Because of you?" Ah Yin's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you really that powerful?"

Creating another world as real as this one—even if it was just a fragment or an illusion—was something incredible.

Even the most powerful deities likely couldn't pull off something like this, right?

"I'm not powerful. But when someone is entrusted with a mission, they're given certain advantages. And with every gift, there's always a price to pay."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that I'll have to work for others in the future." Su Cheng casually explained. Then he frowned and looked into her eyes. "Hey, why are you focusing on the minor details? Did you miss the point of what I said earlier? Waking up in this world could impact the real you. Aren't you worried?"

"No, I'm not." Ah Yin softly stretched out her arm, smoothing the wrinkles on his forehead with her gentle fingertips. She whispered, "I've always believed in you."

"…"

Su Cheng was silent for a moment before suddenly laughing, "You're so naive—how can I bear to deceive you in the future?"

Saying this, he suddenly lunged forward, pouncing on her with a grin. "It's still early; let's stop talking about useless things and continue training."

"Wait—no, hold on!"

But Su Cheng ignored her protests, diving under the blanket with a mischievous smile. "This is my first time in this world."

"Who wants to hear about that?" Ah Yin's face flushed red, but she was clearly unable to stop him from being so forceful.

She had always been like this—docile and easy to bully, which only made Su Cheng push his limits further.

He pulled her into his embrace, admiring the shy, contradictory look on her delicate face. Despite her apparent reluctance, there was a hint of desire as he lowered his head to kiss her softly.

There was something Su Cheng had never told Ah Yin.

Her reactions—clearly enjoying the experience but feeling embarrassed about her emotions—were the hardest to resist.

Her responses and gestures weren't just for show.

She truly felt shy about these things.

But in her shyness, she couldn't resist her body's instincts or her feelings. This created a series of conflicting actions that made her even more endearing.

Soon, the room was filled with soft, suppressed moans.

Rich waves of energy began to spread out but were contained within the room by a barrier, preventing anyone outside from noticing.

At the same time, faint multicolored halos flickered around them, confirming that Su Cheng hadn't lied—they were indeed training.
