When Betty and Muxi heard Su Yang agree, they immediately stood up and led him toward the middle of the bus.
“What the hell? What are they doing?” Liu Bo turned his head and asked.
“They’re calling Old Su over to get to know them.”
“No way? We’re sitting right here, and they treat us like air? Not even inviting us?”
Before Mengwenzhou could answer, Zhuang Mengli popped her head out from behind his seat and giggled, “That’s because Su Yang is handsome~”
“This... fine, fine! I’m being bullied, totally bullied!” Liu Bo grumbled, baring his teeth.
Mengwenzhou turned to Zhuang Mengli with a smile. “Mengli, what do you mean by that? Am I not handsome?”
“You’re handsome too, but still a tiny bit behind Su Yang, hehe.” Zhuang Mengli finished speaking and cheerfully pulled her head back.
“Damn! If it’s just a tiny bit, why didn’t they call me? That’s way too biased!”
“Bro, if you want to go, just go yourself. You’ve got thick skin anyway, so why worry?” Meng Qianyu suddenly chimed in from across the aisle.
“Hey? Are you even my sister?!” Mengwenzhou stood up and shot her a sideways glare.
Meng Qianyu grinned. “I’m just telling the truth! I love telling the truth!”
Pan Ning chimed in, “I agree.”
“Fine, I didn’t say anything.” Mengwenzhou couldn’t be bothered to argue with his two troublesome sisters. He turned around, sat down, and debated whether he should get up and chat with those girls to make a better impression.
By now, Su Yang was sitting next to Betty and Muxi. Even though there were only two seats, the tour bus was spacious, and the seats were wide enough that two girls and a guy could fit comfortably.
Across from them, Winnie and Jiali kept staring at Su Yang after he arrived.
After they all introduced themselves, Su Yang took a moment to check the system.
— System, scan all four of them.

【Figure: 95】
【Number of relationships: 1, Not single】

— Holy crap! 95 points, that figure is something else. And those traits are interesting too. But she’s got a boyfriend, so why is her body count 0?
【Just started dating, haven’t had the chance yet】
— Oh, I see. So should I lend a hand?
【Do as you wish, Host】
“Su Yang? Why’d you go quiet?” Winnie asked from across the way.
“Huh? Oh, nothing. I’m just a bit shy, surrounded by all you beauties. Don’t know what to say.”
“Haha, don’t be shy. We’ve all got great personalities.”
“True, I can feel that.”
“You’re so handsome, Su Yang!” Winnie suddenly complimented him.
“Oh, you’re too kind. Just a little handsome.”
“Haha, you’re pretty funny.”
“Not really. So, how many days are you planning to stay around here?” Su Yang changed the subject.
“Not sure. It depends. We can stay as long as we like.” Betty said.
“Ah, okay, cool. Are you all students?”
“Muxi and Jiali are college students. Winnie and I are working.”
“So how did the four of you meet?”
“We’ve known each other for a while. About four or five years ago, in France.”
“Oh, you all look pretty young,” Su Yang said with a smile.
“Yeah, we’re all around 20.”
“Nice, four gorgeous ladies. Awesome!”
“You’re pretty handsome too~” Betty nudged Su Yang with her shoulder and winked.
“Hey, can we exchange numbers?” Winnie asked.
“Sure, but my current SIM card is temporary, so I won’t be able to use it back home. How about we add each other on WeChat? Do you use it? Or Instagram works too.”
“We all have WeChat.” Betty laughed.
“Really?”
“Yeah, that app is super popular. Or TikTok too.”
“Alright, let’s add each other on WeChat. I don’t use the international version of TikTok.”
“Sure.”
Su Yang pulled out his phone and added all four girls on WeChat.
“Now it’ll be easier to stay in touch.”
“That’s right~” Muxi smiled happily.
They chatted for a while longer, then Su Yang glanced at them and asked, “Girls as pretty as you must all have boyfriends, right?”
Hearing this, all four shook their heads at once: “No!”
‘Damn? So everyone just makes up their identity when they’re out and about.’
“You’re all so beautiful and you’ve never dated?”
Betty shook her head decisively. “No, we’re still young anyway. None of us have ever been in a relationship.”
‘Seriously? You’ve had the most relationships, and you’re saying you’ve never dated? If it weren’t for the system, no one would ever know.’
“What about you, Su Yang?” Betty asked curiously.
Su Yang was sitting a few rows away from Pan Ning and the others, so he didn’t deny anything. Instead, he smiled and said, “Me? I don’t have anyone fixed.”
“What?” Hearing this, the four of them were stunned.
“No one fixed?”
“Oh, I get it, haha. With how handsome you are, it makes sense you don’t have someone fixed.” Winnie bit her lip, looked at Su Yang, and winked with a smile.
Time flew by as they talked. After about twenty minutes, the bus exited the highway and arrived in Tobetsu Town.
In Japan, a “town” is roughly the same administrative level as a “town” in China.
Tobetsu Town wasn’t big, but it had a unique charm. There weren’t many cars on the road, and pedestrians strolled slowly along the sidewalks, giving it a relaxed, slow-paced vibe.
Everyone looked out the windows for a while before the bus soon left the town and drove onto a winding mountain road. This road circled a mountain called Little Gold Mountain.
Traffic gradually thinned out, and the scenery began to grow more beautiful.
Not long after entering the winding mountain road, large stretches of maple forests appeared on both sides. Everyone suddenly felt like they had stumbled into a fairyland.
This mountain is called Little Gold Mountain because every autumn, the hillsides are covered in a sea of maple trees. In the early morning, a faint mist spreads across the entire mountain. When the sun rises, its rays pierce through the mist and illuminate the forest within. From a distance, the whole mountain reflects a soft red-gold light, which is how it earned the name Little Gold Mountain.
"Wow, the scenery outside is so beautiful!" Lu Yun rolled down the car window and stuck her head out to look around.
"Look! There are deer!" Ren Lingxi suddenly called out, pointing toward the woods.
Hearing her shout, the other tourists on the bus curiously turned their heads to look. Several people quickly pulled out their phones and cameras to capture the magical moment.
After driving along the winding mountain road for about ten minutes, the bus turned onto a side path. Following this path for a few more minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Little Gold Mountain Hot Spring Hotel.
At this point, everyone was roughly at the halfway point of Little Gold Mountain. The hotel was surrounded by maple groves, making it feel as though they had stepped into a secluded paradise.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

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.
