Soon after, Chu Qiunan settled the bill and walked out of the bar chatting and laughing with Gao Yue.
"Damn? Is this guy really not coming back tonight?" Ji Bo stood up, looking toward the bar entrance as he spoke.
"Most likely he's not coming back," Zhang Ziming said with a laugh.
"Oh my god—"
At that moment, Tang Ziyun gently tapped her phone screen on the table. It lit up, showing the time: 10:40 PM.
"Want to leave?" Meng Qianyu asked, noticing her action.
"No, I thought it was already midnight. Didn't realize it's not even eleven yet. Let's hang out a bit longer~"
"Mhm, we'll leave exactly at twelve."
"Okay."
Having watched the entire bar for over an hour without any more so-called beauties appearing, Ji Bo was starting to lose hope. Liu Bo and Meng Wenzhou had even less expectation by now.
Just then, another message popped up in the guys' small group chat.
Su Yang opened it to look. It was a message from Chu Qiunan.
Chu Qiunan: @Su Yang, Old Su, thanks for tonight! I owe you one. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just say the word. I won't hesitate!
Su Yang: No need to be so polite. But judging by your tone, you really don't plan on coming back to the hotel?
Chu Qiunan: Hehe, probably, maybe, most likely not.
Ji Bo: [Throws watermelon rind emoji]
Zhang Ziming: Damn, impressive! Didn't you guys just chat for a little over an hour? Already heading to a room?
Chu Qiunan: It's not that blunt. She said she wants to go back to her hotel room to drink, and invited me along~
Ji Bo: Damn! Go back to the hotel room to drink? Can't you drink here?
Chu Qiunan: No wonder you're single.
Liu Bo: Old Chu, you should still be careful, man. Someone you just met inviting you back to her hotel room for drinks? Watch out for a honey trap.
Meng Wenzhou: That's true. The tricks for honey traps are getting more advanced these days. Be careful.
Chu Qiunan: Don't worry, I've got a handle on it. Alright, gotta go for now. Good luck with the rest of your night, bye~
Su Yang: You better come back early tomorrow, kid. We still have to hit the road~
Chu Qiunan: OK!
...
Ji Bo: Yang-ge, can you work your magic one more time?
Liu Bo: You really think my Yang-ge is a god or something?
Meng Wenzhou: Old Su was probably just lucky earlier. It can't be that miraculous. If you don't believe it, ask him to do it again. If it really happens this time, I'll make a move too.
Ji Bo: Meng-ge, don't compete with me for it~
Meng Wenzhou: We'll let our skills do the talking.
Su Yang chuckled to himself and typed: Alright then, I'll cast one more spell. The last one tonight. You guys figure out who's going in.
Zhang Ziming: The way you say it, I almost believe you.
Su Yang: Don't believe me? Fine. Wait for it. Let me think... same as before, count down from ten. This time, two beauties with looks over 80 will walk in together.
Meng Wenzhou: Two? That's pushing it a bit~
Liu Bo: I'm having a hard time believing it too now.
Ji Bo: I believe it!
Su Yang scratched his nose, holding back a laugh: Then you count down from ten and post it in the group.
Ji Bo: OK. Ten, nine, eight, seven... six, five, four, three, two, one!
After Ji Bo sent the message, the guys all turned to look at the bar entrance.
Just then, a group of customers near the door happened to push it open and leave. Just as the door was about to close, a hand from outside grabbed the handle.
Seeing this, their eyes widened instantly, hearts racing.
The girls, noticing their reaction, asked curiously, "What are you looking at now?"
"Could there be more beautiful girls?"
"Shh, don't talk! It seems like there really might be!"
Just as Liu Bo finished speaking, the door was pulled open, and a middle-aged woman in a high-slit black qipao walked in.
"Tch!!" Seeing who it was, the guys deflated immediately.
They thought it would really be two young beauties as Su Yang said, but it turned out to be a middle-aged woman.
"Whew—" Su Yang let out a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid it would actually happen as he said—that would have been truly godlike.
Everyone turned back, no longer watching.
However, Su Yang remained turned, still watching the entrance. A few seconds after the middle-aged woman entered, the door was pulled open once more.
Two beautiful girls walked in.
Su Yang's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "I???!! Holy shit?"
"What's up?" Liu Bo looked at Su Yang, saw his exaggerated expression, and turned to follow his gaze.
When he looked, he almost dropped the glass in his hand.
"God... a miracle!!"
At the same time, Meng Wenzhou and the others had also seen the two girls who entered the bar. From a distance, these two girls looked even prettier than that Gao Yue from earlier.
Maybe it was the makeup, maybe the lighting, but at first glance, they definitely fit Su Yang's description of "looks over 80."
One of them looked sweet and cheerful, the lively and cute type, wearing a white sheer long blouse with a pink-purple short skirt underneath.
The other wore a strapless champagne-colored bodycon dress, carrying a black leather purse. She was tall and slender with a curvy figure, giving off a goddess-like vibe.
"Yang-ge, you... you can really do it?" Ji Bo looked at Su Yang, his face full of shock.
At the same time, Su Yang was asking in his mind:
—System, was this you?
The system didn't answer.
"Do what??" Meng Qianyu asked, completely confused beside them.
"Nothing, nothing."
Ji Bo brushed it off with a laugh and changed the subject: "New targets are here. This time I can definitely do it!"
"What if they have boyfriends?"
"If they have boyfriends, I'll accept defeat. But you never know until you try."
Zhong Qing, nibbling on a snack, laughed: "Then go for it. We're all waiting to see you return victorious~"
"Wait, wait, let me think about how to start the conversation first."
As they were talking, Meng Wenzhou stood up first. "You think slowly. I'm making my move~"
Liu Bo also stood up: "Meng-ge, I'll go with you. I like the cute one."
"Perfect, I like the goddess-type one."
Seeing this, Ji Bo immediately panicked. He hurriedly stood up: "Hey, wait, Fatty, why are you going too?"
"Why can't I go? I'm single too~"
Watching the two of them start to compete, the girls covered their mouths, giggling.
Tang Ziyun laughed and said, "Why don't you all go together? Fair competition~"
"That works too. What do you think?" Liu Bo looked at Ji Bo.
Ji Bo nodded in agreement: "Fine, together."
Zhang Ziming called out then: "Don't you need me?"
"What do we need you for?"
"To play support for you guys! I've got plenty of moves up my sleeve, you know?"
"Then you come too."
Su Yang laughed: "Don't scare them off by going over as a group of four~"
"It's fine. With me here, I guarantee their success. Provided they don't have boyfriends, of course." Zhang Ziming was quite confident when it came to hitting on girls.
"Alright, alright, stop chattering. Let's go." Meng Wenzhou, unfazed, strode over quickly.
The remaining three immediately followed.
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
