The venue here was not only spacious but also exuded an extremely high-end atmosphere.
Many guests held wine glasses, engaging in sophisticated conversation.
Those attending this dinner party were either wealthy or noble; even those usually high-and-mighty tycoons would choose to attend such gatherings.
Having money was one aspect.
Socializing in these circles was another.
When assets reach a certain level,
Money alone can't solve everything.
The focus needs to be on networking.
After all, the money you offer might be refused,
But when it comes to connections and relationships,
Even if you offer no benefits,
Just a word from the right person can open all doors.
When your influence reaches a certain height,
You don't need to go around greeting others.
Instead, people come rushing to greet you,
Eager to establish connections.
This was precisely the situation with Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Even though they tried to maintain a low profile
By choosing a secluded seat,
They were still recognized by others.
It's hard for such an attractive couple to go unnoticed!
After turning away yet another wave of people,
Xu Mo sat in his chair, wearing an unapproachable expression.
It wasn't that he was arrogant,
Nor was he unfriendly,
He was just exhausted.
Line up and come one by one?
Enough already.
Just go home, everyone, just go home.
"Some notable heirs from the Capital City have come, and you're not even bothering to acknowledge them. They have business dealings with our family, you know~" Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
In truth, she didn't care about these things.
She was just trying to find topics to pass the time with Xu Mo.
"You know I don't care about such things."
Xu Mo shook his head.
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes and counted on her fingers as she asked, "What about those young ladies who came to greet you? The ladies from the Capital City are so fresh and lovely, even I'm a bit envious."
You? Envious???
You're the female lead among the antagonists!
You're worlds apart.
Put you next to them,
They'd be the ones feeling inadequate.
Xu Mo knew the demoness was joking, but instead of exposing it, he teased her back.
"Would you be jealous if I pursued them?"
"Go ahead! Don't just talk about it, do it. The more the merrier."
Zhou Qiaoqiao said meaningfully, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Xu Mo rubbed his nose - don't stir up trouble, demoness!
I know I'm quite--------
Never mind, let's not mention it, it's unlucky.
"It's not that I don't want to pursue more, I'm just afraid you might change your mind and turn on me,"
Xu Mo said after some thought.
Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head, looking straight into his eyes with utmost sincerity.
"I couldn't be happier about it."
"As for why, don't you know in your heart?"
Towards the end,
The demoness's tone became quite plaintive.
As the person involved, Xu Mo
Couldn't help but understand her implications.
Xu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This time he had no way to argue back.
He had always wanted to be a faithful man,
Both in body and mind.
But that darned system wouldn't let him be!!!
It kept stacking buffs on him.
Until finally,
Xu Mo found himself invincible.
If it wasn't nerfed,
He might just take off into the sky.
Xu Mo picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine,
Trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Big Brother Xu!!!! It really is you!!!"
A familiar, slightly effeminate voice rang out.
Xu Mo knew immediately it was the old trainee.
He would recognize that voice
Even if it were turned to ashes.
Xu Mo's brow had started to furrow,
But upon hearing this voice,
His furrowed brow relaxed.
"Xiaoyi, you've been doing well these days!!!"
Xu Mo smiled.
"No, no, not at all." Tao Xiaoyi chuckled, and just as he was about to greet the woman beside Xu Mo,
He realized it wasn't Shen Manni.
His expression froze for a moment.
Xu Mo raised his hand and coughed twice.
"This is your sister-in-law!! Quick, greet her!"
Tao Xiaoyi came to his senses.
He quickly nodded and smiled at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"Hello, sister-in-law, hello."
Last time at the bar,
The sister-in-law seemed to be Shen Manni.
This time the sister-in-law had changed,
And she was even an heiress of one of the four great families.
Tao Xiaoyi had indeed been living quite freely these days.
And quite comfortably too.
He did nothing but good things,
Though not to the extent of murder or arson.
At most, he just satisfied his personal desires.
He wasn't stealing or robbing.
What's wrong with living off his parents?
What's wrong with being born into a good family?
Is that against the law?
"Hello."
Zhou Qiaoqiao replied with a dignified and graceful smile, maintaining politeness.
Tao Xiaoyi didn't dare to look too long.
People from the four great families
Were all formidable characters.
He couldn't stay away fast enough.
Let alone touch them.
Take someone like Han Zhiqi, for instance.
Tao Xiaoyi felt that even if he were tied up like a dumpling and thrown into the river to feed the fish,
His own father wouldn't just not avenge him,
He'd probably applaud in front of the Han Family!
'Well done! I've long been irritated by this brat, the Han Family has done a public service today!'
Just thinking about it gave Tao Xiaoyi goosebumps.
"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, where's Little Shi? I don't see her anywhere?"
A clear, melodious voice like a skylark rang out.
"She should be here soon. Little Feng, you've grown even prettier lately."
Xu Mo smiled, not forgetting to give a compliment.
While Tao Xiaofeng's looks couldn't compete with the female protagonists,
She couldn't match the extraordinary ones,
But among the pleasantly beautiful women,
Tao Xiaofeng could definitely rank among them.
Hearing Xu Mo's praise,
A smile appeared on Tao Xiaofeng's face, revealing shallow dimples on both cheeks.
"Hehe-------- Brother Mo, you're not bad yourself-------------eh eh eh you you----"
After getting a clear look at Xu Mo's face,
Tao Xiaofeng began to stutter.
The little girl's small head was filled with big questions.
The last time she saw Xu Mo at a party,
Was her Brother Mo this handsome?
It didn't seem so.
Did he go get plastic surgery?
Or was there something wrong with how she was looking at him?
Was she seeing things wrong?
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
