Chapter 47: The Divine Eye Awakens! A Heroic Beauty in Danger!
Shen Anyu waited with anticipation for the second [Divine Rank] reward, holding his breath. The air in the study seemed to vibrate with potential.
Soon, a mysterious, seven-colored glow flashed before his eyes, blindingly bright and filled with ancient power.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Divine Rank pupil technique: Void Breaking Divine Eye!]
Information flooded his mind. Using the [Void Breaking Divine Eye], one can see through all objects, including the Meridians, acupoints, internal organs, and bones within living beings.
It can clearly see the traces of [Martial Dao True Essence] and internal energy circulation within strong practitioners, identifying their weaknesses, flaws, and even predicting their next moves by watching the energy flow!
Moreover, his vision is excellent, comparable to a human telescope. It was capable of seeing things ten miles away with crystal clarity, even ignoring obstructions like walls or mountains.
"666! This Void Breaking Divine Eye is amazing!"
Shen Anyu gasped, his eyes widening as the new power settled in. With this [Void Breaking Divine Eye], his strength would more than double! He wouldn't just be strong; he would be omniscient on the battlefield.
This reminded him of the Byakugan in a certain anime, which had a similar effect, but this was far superior.
As for simple X-ray vision? It couldn't even be compared to this.
Of course, this [Void Breaking Divine Eye] did have the function of X-ray vision.
Shen Anyu tried it out immediately. He looked at the wall. It dissolved into transparency, revealing the steel beams and wires inside, then the garden beyond, then the street... and even walls couldn't block his vision, let alone anything else...
He smirked. "Very useful."
He checked his updated status.

...Just then.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
A heavy, respectful knock sounded on the study door.
Aunt Xiao's voice came through, tinged with urgency. "Young Lord! Three Female Police Flowers are here, and Lu Yan is among them!"
She naturally knew that if it weren't for Lu Yan, the "associated heroine" Shen Anyu had taken an interest in, there would be no need for Young Lord Shen Anyu to personally appear.
Even the head of a relevant department wouldn't have that qualification. But for Lu Yan, the rules were different.
"Let them in. Entertain them in the main hall. I'll be out shortly."
Shen Anyu smiled faintly and slowly stood up. He adjusted his suit, ensuring he looked every inch the noble young master.
After about ten minutes, Shen Anyu slowly appeared at the top of the grand staircase.
Seeing Shen Anyu's handsome face and calm demeanor descending like a king, Lu Yan and the three Female Police Flowers all brightened up.
The reputation of the Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family had been spreading like wildfire. With the booming sales of the [Ginseng Nourishing Heart Pill] from the Magic City Renxin Hall Pharmaceutical Company, his name was on everyone's lips.
Countless people were discussing and speculating: what kind of demeanor did this top nobleman possess? Was he arrogant? Cruel?
When Lu Yan saw him today, she felt that he was indeed worthy of his reputation. He was truly handsome and free-spirited, like a banished Immortal descended to the mortal world. He carried a natural nobility yet was without the stifling arrogance of typical rich heirs.
His first impression was excellent.
[Ding! Detected destined heroine Lu Yan's favorability +10! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
Shen Anyu smiled slightly, walking down the last few steps.
"Aunt Xiao," he said, his voice smooth. "You take these two police officers to the morgue to retrieve the body of Death God Wei Yun! Ensure all protocols are followed."
"I have some more things to discuss with Officer Lu Yan privately."
When Shen Anyu finished speaking, the two Female Police Flowers next to Lu Yan both looked strange. They glanced at Lu Yan with a knowing, teasing look, but didn't say anything more. They saluted and left with Aunt Xiao, leaving the pair alone in the vast hall.
Lu Yan felt a bit shy under his gaze, but she maintained her professional composure. She gracefully said to Shen Anyu:
"Young Master Shen, thank you for helping me transfer my job to the Serious Crimes Unit in the Central District... and for giving me this good assignment. Catching a Level 1 Wanted Criminal is a huge merit."
Shen Anyu sized up Lu Yan.
It could only be said that she was indeed one of the destined heroines of the "Country Divine Doctor" plotline. Her looks were naturally beyond reproach.
Her short hair reached her shoulders, giving her a heroic and capable appearance. Her face was pretty and beautiful, with sharp, determined eyes. Her skin was wheat-colored from sun exposure during training, which didn't look bad at all; rather, it shone like healthy maltose.
She radiated vitality and justice.
Looking at the healthy and beautiful Female Police Flower Lu Yan in front of him, Shen Anyu smiled slightly and said:
"No need to thank me. Police and civilians are one family. Supporting justice is what I should do!"
Speaking of this, Shen Anyu looked at Lu Yan closer. He activated his [Void Breaking Divine Eye] for a split second, scanning her body.
A look of regret appeared in his eyes as he sighed softly, shaking his head.
Lu Yan frowned slightly, looking at the handsome nobleman in front of her with surprise. She asked directly, her curiosity piqued:
"Young Master Shen... why are you sighing when looking at me? Is there something wrong?"
"I am sighing... that a heroic beauty like you will not live long!"
"What?"
Hearing Shen Anyu's words, Lu Yan's expression changed instantly.
She had a good impression of the nobleman who had helped her twice, and she knew he wasn't someone who spoke idly or made cruel jokes. But how could she not live long? She was in peak physical condition!
Shen Anyu chuckled inwardly.
This was all a routine. A classic villainous hook.
The destined heroine of the "Country Divine Doctor" genre often had an illness herself or a family member who was ill. If there was no illness, how could the Child of Destiny of the Country Divine Doctor show off his miraculous skills?
However, the Child of Destiny of the Country Divine Doctor, Xia Liu, had been dealt with by Shen Anyu. He was still rotting in the detention center, being tormented to death by Wu Gui, and had not yet been released, with no end in sight.
Therefore, the role of the savior was vacant.
Su Hongmian, Lu Yan, Qin Ningbing, Ruan Lingshan, and other relevant destined heroines naturally needed Shen Anyu to tirelessly treat their illnesses and save them.
Shen Anyu also readily accepted. He was willing to be this Divine Doctor, and take on a part-time job of "healing" beautiful women.
"Young Master Shen, can you elaborate?"
Seeing Shen Anyu's regretful expression, Lu Yan had an ominous premonition. She pressed him for details, her police instincts telling her he knew something.
After building up the suspense, Shen Anyu slowly said:
"Lu Yan... have you Cultivated an internal martial art?"
Lu Yan did not hide anything from Shen Anyu. She nodded frankly:
"Yes. My family has inherited internal martial arts, which started from my great-grandfather's generation. It has been Cultivated for generations, and most of my family members have joined the army or become police officers because of it!"
Shen Anyu, however, shook his head. His expression turned serious.
"Don't practice that internal martial art of your family anymore. It's a self-mutilating skill that kills people!"
"What?!"
Lu Yan was shocked. Her family's ancestral internal martial art was extremely powerful! Many people had envied it! It was the source of her family's pride and strength.
Yet in Shen Anyu's words, it was merely a self-mutilating skill that kills people?
However, as if remembering something, Lu Yan's expression suddenly changed. A cold realization dawned on her.
And Shen Anyu continued to speak, his voice striking like a hammer:
"Your great-grandfather... your grandfather... both had short lifespans, didn't they? Dying around the age of fifty?"
"Your father's health is also very poor, and he already needs a cane to walk, right?"
"Everyone in your family who Cultivates this skill has a lifespan far shorter than others, right?"
This was not only seen by Shen Anyu's [Extraordinary Medical Skill] and [Divine Eye], but also investigated by the intelligence network Shen Anyu sent. So it was absolutely accurate!
Indeed, Lu Yan's expression completely changed. The blood drained from her face. Even her firm and heroic physique, which stood straight like a javelin, trembled.
"Yes... Young Master Shen, everything you said is correct!"
After Shen Anyu's reminder and recalling her family's situation—the early deaths, the mysterious ailments—Lu Yan suddenly realized the truth.
After understanding, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Was she also destined for such a fate? To die young?
Shen Anyu smiled faintly. He looked at her with a gaze that was both pitying and predatory.
He said leisurely:
"Lu Yan... you don't want to perish prematurely, do you?"
