The hotpot was finished.
If you were to ask Wan Xinyan for her assessment, aside from the high-quality ingredients and the excellent soup base, there didn't seem to be anything particularly special about it. In fact, the soup base was almost too good—it belonged to that category of being delicious but lacking a trace of that gritty, authentic street-side flavor.
Simply put, it wasn't rough enough...
It was like reading those trashy power-fantasy web novels; you had to read them on a phone screen. If you read them on an E-ink reader, it just felt too formal.
Hearing Wan Xinyan's theory, Su Bai laughed for a good while.
"Brother Su Bai, what are you laughing at..." Wan Xinyan lay on Su Bai, pouting slightly and acting coquettish.
"Nothing." Su Bai just smiled and didn't say more. Actually, it was normal to go through this phase. To put it simply, small hole-in-the-wall places went heavy on the seasoning, so expensive meals could indeed seem a bit bland in comparison.
However, Su Bai soon realized that Wan Xinyan wasn't just acting cute for the sake of it. She seemed to be trying to shift his attention to...
Ah, right.
Fed and watered, it was time to exchange some affection.
So, Su Bai decisively ordered Yueyue to drive, while he carried Yanyan to the back seat of the GLE.
The Jesko could be picked up tomorrow by whoever was free; there were plenty of people at home anyway.
...
...
By the time the Wan Sisters were completely drained of energy, Su Bai suddenly realized something.
This nanny's room... putting aside the abstract attribute of the "Wan Sisters having an inexplicable maid fetish regarding the nanny's room," actually had another advantage.
It had wet and dry separation.
Yeah, only those with experience would understand.
...
However, there was no place left for Su Bai to sleep in this room. No matter. He would just head back to the master bedroom and take a shower.
What a decadent life.
But just as he got to the bathroom, before he could start washing, a voice call came in from Yangyang.
"Su Bai, I'm finally done with the social event... Ugh, I'm so tired. Staying at home or exercising with you is definitely happier, hehe."
"What are you giggling about... It's getting late, look at the time. Go home and get your beauty sleep," Su Bai teased.
In reality, she was an eighteen-year-old girl, fresh and tender. Staying up late occasionally didn't matter; her metabolism recovered quickly.
Yangyang's daily lifestyle was actually quite healthy.
"I feel like I can't sleep. I drank a little wine with some old friends just now. Hmm... I only dared to hang out with them after you went off to do you-know-what with you-know-who. Su Bai, you were so handsome today. Wuu, if I were with you, I would definitely..."
Speaking of her reaction, Yangyang immediately became too shy to speak.
In traditional thinking, a girl having naughty thoughts was considered a bit improper, and at heart, Yangyang was still very traditional and maidenly.
"By the way, Su Bai, I heard you're starting a clothing brand? Count me in when you do, I want to play too~"
"What the hell? A clothing brand? Who told you that?" Su Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"My friends said so. Are they wrong?"
"It's not a brand. I just want to acquire a company to customize clothes for myself."
Su Bai figured the small circle he had just joined held him in too high regard, and as the word spread, it turned into him founding a clothing brand.
It was understandable; everyone was drunk, and talking nonsense was normal.
By tomorrow morning, the rumor might evolve into "Su Bai plans to restructure the clothing industry, punching Uniqlo and kicking ZARA."
He couldn't entirely blame them, though. After all, the image Su Bai projected was one of ridiculous wealth.
After chatting for a while, Yangyang's voice suddenly sounded a bit disappointed, mixed with a young girl's clinginess: "Su Bai, I can't sleep... I want to come find you."
"Sure, I'm not sleepy anyway." Su Bai thought about his body, which had undergone intermediate enhancement. An hour or so of sleep a day was enough. It would be a waste not to become a master of time management.
"Then, where should we go..."
"Come to Ascott. Haven't you always said you wanted to visit the Landscape Duplex? You wanted to see the gaming room and furniture I set up."
"Eh? But they are all there..."
"What are you afraid of? They're all asleep. Just attack in your Yangyang form. Come over, and I'll treat you to a bath."
"Pfft!"
What the hell kind of invite is "treat you to a bath"... On the other end of the phone, Liu Chenyang burst into clear laughter.
However, thinking about it carefully, it kind of made sense. The bathroom specifications at the Landscape Duplex were definitely high enough to be sold as a standalone spa experience.
And bathing with Su Bai... Mm-hmm...
The more Yangyang thought about it, the more excited she got. She decisively agreed, rushed back to her rental, changed into the dress Su Bai loved most and little goose-yellow cotton socks, let her hair down over her shoulders, put on a mask, and headed out.
She had seen the interior photos of the Landscape Duplex that Su Bai had sent her, and to be honest, she was quite interested.
Decoration was something Liu Chenyang found very interesting. It was just that at home, her dad had the final say on renovations. Since the elders paid for it, their aesthetic had to be respected.
This included most of the furniture and appliances, which were largely traditional models, whereas Liu Chenyang preferred things to be more smart and automated.
In this regard, her taste matched Su Bai's perfectly.
The villa Su Bai bought for himself in the future would definitely be something she loved, too. Hmm...
Liu Chenyang had always wanted to visit the Landscape Duplex, but there were always people there, and she was shy.
Now was indeed a great opportunity; the girls were asleep, it was late at night, and both she and Su Bai were wide awake.
Thinking about the various wonderful adventures that might happen in the bathroom with Su Bai, Liu Chenyang's body temperature couldn't stop rising. Combined with the effects of the alcohol, she felt a bit floaty.
Su Bai was the best.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

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.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
