Rejected time and again, the smile on Sister Xin's face was beginning to slip.
She took a deep breath and decided to tackle the last one, the iceberg maiden whom she believed had the most potential.
However, the moment her eyes met Xie Yuling's, all her prepared pitches got stuck in her throat.
Those eyes were too cold, too still.
Without a single ripple, they just looked at you indifferently, as if they could see right through all your fake enthusiasm and rehearsed tricks.
Xie Yuling didn't say a word, but her silence was more powerful than any verbal rejection.
The air temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.
Sister Xin's sales pitch, which worked like a charm on ordinary customers, completely failed in this instant.
Cai Junhuang looked at the alternating pale and green expressions on Sister Xin's face, feeling both amused and helpless. She took a half-step forward, seamlessly shielding her friends.
I'm sorry, Sister Xin, but they all have their own plans.
Her tone remained polite, but it carried an unquestionable finality.
After speaking, Cai Junhuang didn't wait for a response and turned directly toward the locker area.
Wait for me outside for a moment. I'll grab my things and we'll leave.
Jiang Yunlu and the others immediately turned and left the dance studio. Overly enthusiastic sales pitches were honestly quite uncomfortable.
Watching their retreating backs, the professional fake smile on Sister Xin's face finally collapsed.
She curled her lips, leaned back in her chair, and muttered under her breath.
Honestly, they're all so good-looking, but they have such big tempers... What a waste of talent.
However, when her gaze fell upon Cai Junhuang's back again, a playful smirk curled at the corner of her mouth.
Birds of a feather flock together. This Caicaizi really doesn't make friends with anyone simple.
A short while later, Cai Junhuang came out.
The six people who were originally waiting for her by the elevators were now blocked at an angle by two figures.
It wasn't an aggressive blockade; rather, it felt like two exquisite but thorny folding screens.
The newcomers were two women dressed in well-tailored professional attire. They wore perfect, commercial smiles, but their gazes were highly aggressive, as if evaluating goods on a shelf.
Cai Junhuang immediately recognized them as the bosses of the modeling agency across the hall.
Though called bosses, they were actually both young and beautiful women.
This modeling agency had two bosses: one was the manager in charge of business.
The other was the head model responsible for training the others.
She was both a boss of the company and its top promoted model.
And now, these two bosses were blocking everyone's path.
Cai Junhuang knew that her three friends wouldn't even join a dance studio, let alone take on public-facing modeling work.
But just as she lifted her foot to step forward, she heard the more professional-looking woman speak, and her target was completely unexpected.
Hey there, young man.
Her voice was enthusiastic yet professional. Your head-to-body ratio is perfect, especially with this cold and aloof temperament. It's very rare in the market right now. Are you interested in coming to our company to shoot a few sets of photos to try it out? We can negotiate the pay. Our Lidi Agency never mistreats promising newcomers.
Lin Mo raised his hand and waved it dismissively, replying politely.
No, thank you. I'm still a student, and my studies should be my priority.
Before he even finished speaking, the woman with the alluring figure, who looked more like the chief model, leaned over with a smile. She reached out with her slender fingers, painted with eye-catching bright red polish, and went straight to pinch the muscles of Lin Mo's arm. Her movements were practiced and carried a hint of undeniable dominance.
Lin Mo's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as he leaned back, causing her fingers to grasp nothing but empty air.
His movement was as smooth as flowing water; he avoided the intrusion without looking flustered.
Missing her grab, the female model wasn't annoyed. Instead, her smile grew even more radiant.
She pulled a gold-embossed business card from her exquisite little leather purse. Without even looking at Lin Mo, she casually shoved it into the hands of a bewildered Fang Jun standing nearby.
Handsome, do me a favor.
Fang Jun caught it instinctively. He looked at the card, then at her, his face full of question marks. Huh?
The female model winked at him, her voice sweet and cloying. If I give it to him directly, he definitely won't take it. Your friend is shy, so I'm counting on you.
After saying that, she turned her gaze back to Lin Mo, shooting him a captivating, flirtatious look.
Little guy, big sister will be waiting for your call.
That little guy acted like a switch, instantly igniting an invisible fuse in the air.
It was incredibly coquettish.
Cai Junhuang felt the air pressure around her suddenly drop.
After speaking, the two bosses turned and walked back toward their own company.
Jiang Yunlu, who had been as bright as sunshine just a moment ago, now had a completely dark expression, her lips pressed into a stiff, straight line.
Chu Miaomiao's soft, cute face puffed up with anger like a steamed bun. Her cheeks were round and bulging like an irritated pufferfish, and she let out a faint hmph.
And the usually aloof Xie Yuling was now radiating a freezing aura. Her eyes were as still as a frozen lake, staring directly at the swaying backs of the two departing women.
As soon as I get back, I'm going to have my dad buy out this trashy company! Jiang Yunlu gritted her teeth, squeezing the words out.
I'll have my mom pay for half! Chu Miaomiao immediately followed up, chiming in angrily.
The two exchanged a look, as if reaching a major alliance, and gave a heavy, synchronized Mm!
Alright, have you been reading too many web novels?
Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and gave each of them a light tap on the head. Cai Junhuang is out. Let's go.
Xie Yuling, who perfectly avoided the buyout topic due to her poverty, merely cast a cold glance at the company's sign and silently noted in her heart: Once this lady's divine martial arts are perfected, I'll come smash your place first.
The group turned toward the elevator. Fang Jun, who had been completely out of the loop the whole time, pinched the perfume-scented business card, caught up with Lin Mo, and whispered with a conflicted expression:
Old Mo, what should I do with this thing?
Lin Mo casually took it, and then, under the watchful eyes of the three girls, tore the card into four pieces and tossed it straight into the trash can next to the elevator.
This made the dark, stormy expressions of the three girls clear up slightly.
They had genuinely been worried that Lin Mo would stuff the card into his pocket.
Ding!
The elevator arrived, and Lin Mo raised his hand, saying, Let's go. Get in.
Two figures walked out of the door of Lidi Modeling Agency, staring toward the elevator area.
Oh my, your invitation was looked down upon.
If he looks down on it, so be it. The world isn't short on people.
Inside the elevator, Lin Mo finally turned his head to look at Cai Junhuang.
Caicaizi, did you find the exchange card?
Don't call me that name, or I'll beat you to death, Cai Junhuang clenched her fists.
I think Caicaizi sounds pretty nice. It has a very Japanese vibe.
Just as Fang Jun finished speaking, he received a vicious elbow strike.
One could only say that this was a day accompanied by elbow strikes.
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.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
