Silence.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie stillness.
The smile on Xu Mo's face froze.
He was utterly dumbfounded.
You were all chatting just fine.
Why did you suddenly throw the question at me?
I’m just a soulless foodie, for heaven's sake!!!
Yang Jingxuan was on edge.
Her little hands under the table couldn’t help but tremble nervously.
If Xu Mo lost the lead here,
then they would really have to investigate slowly.
It was a frustrating approach.
The city was so vast, and they didn’t have the time or manpower to investigate thoroughly.
In a matter of moments,
Xu Mo’s expression shifted in an instant.
He smiled and said,
“Cousin, you’re really good at joking. I’ve never even heard of these gang names before. I don’t even know what they do. But since you’ve asked, I’ll use my connections to look into it for you.”
“As for whether I’ll find anything, I can’t promise anything.”
Acting!!!!
Keep acting!!!
“Never heard of them”?
That’s not what you were thinking earlier!
And after all that talk,
you’re just setting up for that last line, aren’t you?
Yang Jingxuan and Zhang Naixi were utterly speechless!
What came out of Xu Mo’s mouth was just for show.
Anyone who took it seriously was a fool.
The important thing was to listen to what he was thinking.
“Here it comes!!!”
In an instant, the two women’s eyes lit up.
Their hearts were pounding like crazy.
【Hmph---------You think I’d just tell you if you asked? Am I that stupid?】
【Even if I did tell you, wouldn’t you think I’m some kind of freak?】
【I’ll never say it out loud, not in this lifetime.】
【But it’s fine to just think about it in my head.】
【Let me think about the exact locations of those gang hideouts under the Crooked-mouthed Dragon King. Ah, got it!】
【Since you’ve asked so sincerely, I’ll be generous and tell you.】
【The Mad Blade Hall is located at a port in the southwest.】
【The Green Dragon Den is on Nandan Road, disguised as a small foreign trade company called Long Qing. Seriously, they just reversed the name and added a few strokes to the characters. Anyone who doesn’t know would have a hard time finding it.】
【The White Tiger Hall-------------】
【The Loyalty Hall-------------】
······
Feeling the gazes of the two women on him,
Xu Mo was absolutely delighted!!!
No matter what they asked, he would find a way to dodge it.
He would never tell the heroines anything.
The only way he’d reveal anything was if they already knew!
As Xu Mo was reveling in his joy,
the system’s notification tone rang out.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 stamina.”
The cold, mechanical sound of the system’s reward notification instantly ruined Xu Mo’s good mood.
What the hell?!
What’s going on now?!
Damn system, please, for once, act like a human being.
If you keep stacking stamina like this,
I’m really going to die.
This is no joke.
Xu Mo cursed the system in his mind.
He tried to reason with the system.
But the system, as usual,
ignored him.
As if the reward notification hadn’t come from it at all.
The only proof Xu Mo had that he hadn’t misheard the notification
was that his stamina seemed to have increased slightly again.
Don’t underestimate this slight increase.
Over time,
small changes can lead to a massive transformation.
This was a reward Xu Mo genuinely didn’t want!!!
It wasn’t that he was being pretentious.
But being invincible is so~ so lonely!!
Being invincible is so~ so empty!
Well, being invincible doesn’t necessarily mean being empty.
Of course,
Xu Mo’s mental conversation with the system,
along with his colorful language directed at it,
was something the women couldn’t hear.
Right now,
Yang Jingxuan and Zhang Naixi didn’t care about any of that.
Because they had already gotten what they wanted most.
The two women remained silent
because they were still processing the situation.
It felt unreal, almost too good to be true.
They blinked in disbelief,
exchanging a glance.
Zhang Naixi: Did we really trick him that easily? So simple.
Yang Jingxuan: Right? He folded before we even put in any effort.
During their conversation,
the food arrived.
The table was filled to the brim.
Every dish looked and smelled delicious.
Zhang Naixi hadn’t ordered anything bizarre.
It was all normal, exquisite cuisine.
Zhang Naixi couldn’t stop smiling as she poured Xu Mo a drink.
“Cousin, come on, drink up today.”
Xu Mo looked like a clueless goose. “I still have to drive later.”
“I’ll call a driver for you.”
“Aren’t you going out later?”
“I can go out anytime. But the wine has to be drunk now. With such lovely company and a beautiful evening, how can you not drink?”
Zhang Naixi said with a carefree attitude.
She shoved the glass into Xu Mo’s hand.
Xu Mo chuckled helplessly.
“I can’t refuse such hospitality.”
After finishing one glass,
Zhang Naixi poured him another and asked An Youyi to switch seats.
She wanted to catch up with her cousin.
An Youyi nodded and agreed.
Then she sat next to Yang Jingxuan.
While Xu Mo was still processing the situation,
his glass was filled again.
“Come on, finish this one, and there’s another. After this, there are three more.”
“Cousin, aren’t you drinking?”
“Of course I am!”
“Then why haven’t you poured yourself a drink?”
“Oh, this? This bottle is yours. The other three are mine. And I don’t like using glasses. I prefer drinking straight from the bottle.”
With that, Zhang Naixi demonstrated in front of Xu Mo.
Gulp gulp gulp-----------
She downed an entire bottle of red wine in one go.
Xu Mo’s eyes widened in shock.
Holy crap.
This cousin is something else.
A true heroine among women!!!
Zhang Naixi acted like a rough, beer-guzzling dude,
but her stunning looks and incredible figure
made it all seem perfectly natural.
“Your turn, cousin.”
“Oh, right.”
Xu Mo hurriedly finished the wine in his glass.
Then he glanced at Zhang Naixi.
To his surprise,
this fierce cousin didn’t even blush.
Noticing Xu Mo’s gaze,
Zhang Naixi looked back and flashed him a smile.
“Come on, cousin, let’s fill it up again. I’m so grateful to you today.”
“Grateful? I didn’t do anything.”
“You didn’t have to do much. What you did was more than enough. Here, let me toast you… no, let me toast you with a whole bottle.”
“I’ll stick with the glass.”
By the end of the meal, Xu Mo was completely baffled.
It was just a meal.
Why were they acting so emotional?
Even Yang Jingxuan ended up toasting him.
Leaving Xu Mo utterly confused.

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.
