Su Bai is truly emperor material.

When Su Bai returned to the Shanshui Villa, it was practically midnight.

Wan Xinyan was in the middle of cooking a late-night snack.

After taking a quick lap around the house and failing to spot Senior Sister Lu, Su Bai asked Wan Xinyan about her whereabouts. She explained that Senior Sister Lu had gone over to help Lu Yuning tidy up her room, taking some bedding and daily necessities with her. The house was well-stocked with these supplies, many of which were big-name brands that were hard to find in regular supermarkets.

Since she was one of their own anyway, she just took them straight over to her.

"Not bad, meow," Su Bai nodded. "Wait, so where did Lu Yuning end up renting?"

"Right at the Ascott, but in the next building over. That side has smaller units. Lu Yuning said she didn't dare live in a big house all by herself."

"How come?"

"She said she's afraid of ghosts."

"..."

What a refreshingly unconventional reason!

Su Bai was amused to the point of exasperation. To some extent, among the circle of girls around him, Lu Yuning might psychologically be the youngest, even though she was actually the oldest in age.

Well, not that much older. A twenty-three-year-old woman was still very much in her prime.

In comparison, eighteen-year-old Wan Xinyan's body was still youthfully invincible, yet she was completely fearless of ghosts. This was a good thing, but perhaps not entirely a good thing.

When it came to innocent charm and naivety...

Wan Xinyan seemed to be on the same wavelength as Su Bai. She wrinkled her cute little nose and said with a hint of jealousy, "Sister Yuning's personality is indeed very cute. Boo hoo, Brother Su Bai's new flame is indeed... aiyah~"

Su Bai curled his finger and flicked her forehead, grumping, "What new flame? It's currently still a strictly professional relationship."

"Yes, yes, yes. Oh my, did Brother Su Bai also go work out today with Sister Xia Lin, with whom you also have a strictly professional counselor relationship? When will you go to the gym with us? My sister and I will keep you company doing aerobics."

"Isn't that stuff a bit hard to learn?"

"Hehe, with Brother Su Bai's physical specs, it's very easy to learn. When the time comes, we can try some complex and magical moves..."

As she spoke, Wan Xinyan's expression turned mischievous.

Su Bai suddenly realized—holy cow, is this aerobics routine she's talking about actually wholesome?

Is it the kind of sport that gets you a scholarship to the capital's top university?

To be fair, Su Bai's initial impression of the Wan sisters really did stem from aerobics. Their appearance in aerobics gear that day had left a deep impression on him.

That kind of outfit really hit Su Bai's sweet spot. How should one put it? The soft, silky fabric, tightly hugging...

"Is the snack ready?"

"Almost, just five more minutes of steaming..."

"This steamer has an automatic timer, right? Go change into an aerobics outfit quickly. I've got a craving."

"Su Bai..." Wan Xinyan let out a startled cry, followed by a flush of joyous red rippling across her cheeks.

It was obvious that Su Bai hadn't been fully satisfied over at Xia Lin's place. This couldn't help but make Wan Xinyan feel a little proud. In the end, no matter how much Su Bai played around outside, he still had to come home for a family meal.

As the saying goes, wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic ones, but that's not necessarily true. Rich people value safety; what if you catch a disease? What if there's a dispute or you get blackmailed?

Home-cooked meals are the ones suitable for the long run.

So, Su Bai entered the Wan sisters' maid's room. About an hour later, the three of them finally sat down at the table for their late-night snack.

By this time, Senior Sister Lu had returned. Looking at the complexions of the Wan sisters... Senior Sister Lu looked at Su Bai, her eyes shimmering like water: "Junior Brother..."

Before she could get to the specific content of her sentence, Su Bai cut in, "Don't rush, it's your turn in a bit. Tonight, Senior Sister, you're up."

...

This phrasing made Senior Sister Lu chuckle. Junior Brother really was something; he truly treated himself like an emperor.

But there was nothing wrong with that. With Su Bai's conditions, his stats, and his character model, he was meant to be an emperor!

However, Senior Sister Lu looked at the two sisters who were earnestly eating steamed cake at the table and teased with a hint of curiosity, "You girls didn't let Lord Su Bai enjoy himself to the fullest?"

"Um... mm-hmm." Wan Xinyan was momentarily tongue-tied.

Wan Xinyue, on the other hand, admitted bluntly, "Brother Su Bai has become even more powerful. We couldn't handle him at all. If we hadn't begged for mercy in advance, we probably would have passed out until tomorrow morning."

"...Junior Brother, you didn't secretly... take something, did you?" Senior Sister Lu clicked her tongue. That was terrifying.

"No way, these are the results of pure, natural fitness," Su Bai bullshitted casually, his face not even turning red.

Let me ask you, is my head pointy?

No.

So, it's natural fitness.

"It seems Junior Brother has a natural-born Harem Protagonist Physique. Ordinary people can't withstand it; now it's us who are finding it hard to cope," Senior Sister Lu said with a look of realization. "No wonder you went looking for Lu Yuning..."

"Haha."

Su Bai wondered why they all felt he had designs on Lu Yuning. Although it was true, was it that obvious?

It could also be that, as fellow women, their eyes were sharp, and they could see Lu Yuning's appeal.

It wasn't just her looks and figure; her personality and lifestyle were key factors too.

After eating, the Wan sisters took a quick shower and immediately dragged their exhausted bodies off to sleep.

Their "musical discussion" with Su Bai was practically an extreme sport.

It definitely wasn't their illusion. The current Su Bai... anyway, he was strong beyond human limits.

It was a good thing the Wan sisters had already adapted to Su Bai's style. If it were a girl on her first date with Su Bai, she'd probably be crying within minutes.

Truly outrageous.

As for Senior Sister Lu, she didn't notice much difference because she was weak to begin with. The initial version of Su Bai could already crush her combat power.

It was like a top student raising their score from 680 to 700; a student with 500 points could clearly see the top student's progress.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister Lu was at the 300-point level...

"Whoa, whoa, show some mercy, Junior Brother! I still have to take Yuning shopping tomorrow morning to buy some things..."

As Su Bai carried her princess-style to the shower, Senior Sister Lu begged playfully.

"Senior Sister, you really are a responsible housekeeper."

"You bet. Junior Brother is so excellent, of course I have to manage every aspect of the household for you."

"But I think you're engaging in factionalism," Su Bai teased. Senior Sister Lu really did like forming cliques; she was close with Sheng-sheng, and now she was using her warmth to rope in Lu Yuning.

Oh wait, not big sister warmth. Actually, Senior Sister Lu was younger than Lu Yuning.

It was quite amusing.
