Peaceful Farm Life - Chapter 2006 - 2007: Playing for Such High Stakes?

He’s her stepbrother, her sin and her biggest mistake waiting to happen.Catherine Brown thought moving in with her mother’s new husband couldn’t be harder until she met the cold, arrogant and sinfully attractive Julian Vaughn, her stepbrother.He hates her, teases her and gets under her skin everyday. He’s everything she should stay away from, off-limits and untouchable.But when his anger turns into something darker and hungrier, when he looks at her like he wants to ruin her innocence, Catherine realizes danger has a new name.And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop wanting the one man she’s not supposed to have.When hate turns to desire, who’s really in control?EXCERPT✨“You’ve never had sex before?” Julian asked, disbelief flickering in his eyes.Catherine hesitated, then nodded, staring at the floor instead of him.He bit his lower lip, trying to rein in the thoughts crowding his mind. Goodness, she was too innocent for her own good.“So all you did with your previous boyfriends were just kisses and smooches?”She immediately stood, her cheeks flushed. “There are no boyfriends,” she blurted. “I’ve never even been kissed. Please don’t laugh at me.”Laugh? Hell no. Julian wasn’t laughing. He was fighting the urge to pull her close. Knowing she’d never been touched only made his hunger worse.She didn’t realize he’d moved until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping low and dangerous.“Catherine, just say the word and I’ll show you what it means to be touched by a man.”Her heart stuttered in her chest and he could hear every beat.

When she opens her eyes again, she is in a strange world, a new continent.

Born in the declining Yun family and being beaten to death by the son of a powerful family—this is her identity this life.

Her father and brother, who had protected her as if their lives depended on it, becomes her strength to continue living.

The great family fortune attracts a fatal disaster from greedy people.

Since she is reborn as Yun Feng, no one can touch the Yun family!

Whoever steals the Yun family’s assets would pay back five times the amount!

Whoever plots against Yun family’s lives would pay back ten times the amount!

If there are still people who dare to touch the Yun family, she would definitely return the favor with all her strength. She would not rest until she’s dead!

Therefore, she chooses to stand up without any hesitation! From then on, the continent would lose a good-for-nothing and gain an exceptional genius!

Is it very difficult for a warrior to advance? Sorry, I have a secret treasure to temper my body. I can advance two levels in three days.

Is a mage very powerful? I’m sorry, I don’t care. She senses the five elements, and an all-elemental mage is quietly born.

Is a summoner very rare? I’m sorry, I’m a summoner that appears only once in a thousand years. Moreover, I’m a five-elemental summoner. Magical beasts and so on are not a problem. There’s also a meatball that seems to be a ten-thousand-year magical beast~

With such a mysterious treasure in her possession, the Yun family’s Old Ancestor personally guides her cultivation path. Beside her is a strange meatball that seems to be an ancient magical beast. As a summoner that is hard to come by in ten thousand years, as well as a warrior, mage, socket master, refiner, and so on, she has always been very low-key—arrogant in a low-key manner!

Let us witness how this formidable lady starts from the beginning and scales to the top of the pyramid! From now on, she will rule the world!

The actress Liu Qingqing entered a book about the future in which all human beings have only seen AI robots as actors.
