Gathering at the Commercial Street

The next day.

"Shopping, shopping!!"

Su Muwan, dragging Qin Luo along, excitedly strolled down the commercial street.

Qin Luo followed behind, watching the enthusiastic Su Muwan with a smile. "Miss, slow down. You're now the face of Jiang City. You need to maintain some image."

"Hmph!"

Su Muwan turned her head and glared at Qin Luo, grumbling, "Qin Luo, what do you know? The weather changes every day, and so does the city's image with me!"

"Without even this much awareness, Qin Luo, I’m going to punish you by borrowing your arm as my pillow tonight!"

Hearing this, Qin Luo chuckled and shook his head. "As expected of the young lady. Alright, let’s go. Today, we’ll indulge—buy whatever you want!"

"Yay!"

Su Muwan was delighted, but after her excitement subsided, she frowned and glanced around suspiciously, muttering, "Qin Luo."

"What is it, Miss?"

"Well, according to the usual pattern, every time I go out, something unpleasant happens..."

She swallowed hard, her eyes hesitant. "Could it be the same this time?"

Qin Luo found this amusing. He patted Su Muwan's head and said, "Don’t worry, Miss. Once is a coincidence, twice is still a coincidence, and three times..."

Su Muwan protested loudly, "No, this has happened to me several times already!"

Qin Luo withdrew his hand, still smiling. "Anyway, it’s fine, really. Bad luck doesn’t chase people forever."

Su Muwan blinked. "Really?"

"Really."

"Okay then."

Su Muwan felt reassured.

Of course, there was one thing Qin Luo didn’t say.

Bad luck might not chase people, but Su Muwan might just be the exception.

As the two entered the mall, two figures emerged from behind them.

They were Yiyi and Wang Yun, sent by the headquarters of the alliance.

Wang Yun looked at Yiyi with joy and said, "Yiyi, this place is said to be the largest commercial complex in Jiang City. Whatever you want to buy, I’ll get it for you."

Yiyi, upon hearing this, felt disdain in her heart.

*Why does someone so foolish even have a system?*

But never mind.

She turned to Wang Yun with a look of surprise and said, "Really? But... no, Wang Yun, your salary should be spent on cultivation pills. Buying luxury items for me... that’s too wasteful."

"It’s not wasteful at all! It’s a rare occasion!"

"Then... let’s go in and look around. I really don’t want to buy anything."

......

......

Time passed.

In a coffee shop, Su Bailian sat by the window, gently brushing her smooth, long hair. The sunlight streaming through the window outlined her figure perfectly.

She wore a simple yet elegant white dress, the hem swaying gently around her legs like a blooming white lotus, pure and harmless.

The delicate lace edges complemented her fair skin beautifully.

A delicate ribbon was tied around her ankle, paired with a pair of fresh and elegant high heels, making her stand out even more.

Su Bailian’s makeup was natural, her eyes sparkling with a lively glow.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Ahhh..."

"Why aren’t there any good targets today?"

Su Bailian lazily leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly holding the coffee cup, her cute demeanor mixed with a touch of nonchalance.

Her expression seemed indifferent to everything around her, but in reality, her gaze kept scanning the people inside the café and those passing by outside.

*Tsk.*

Although she had made a fortune from buying lottery tickets last time,

But!

Su Bailian thought, who would ever complain about having too much money?

So,

She took a sip from her coffee cup, which only contained plain water.

She was here to find a wealthy target!

But... she had been sitting here all day, just drinking water and using the Wi-Fi.

Why hadn’t she found anyone yet?

Well, she’d stay a little longer before heading back to feed Boqi.

Just as she was thinking this,

Ding-ding~

The door opened, and a figure walked in.

"Boss, two iced Americanos, please."

Su Bailian glanced over.

*Hmph, not only does he look average, but he doesn’t seem wealthy either... huh?*

Her thoughts were interrupted as she noticed something.

The man who had just ordered the Americanos, though average-looking and poorly dressed,

Was carrying multiple luxury shopping bags in his hands.

*Hiss...*

Su Bailian quickly estimated that the items in his hands were worth at least a million!

Could it be?

Her eyes lit up with joy. Was he a low-key tycoon?

Also, two Americanos...

Did he have a partner?

Su Bailian pursed her lips. She had three rules when it came to her targets:

First, no minors.

Second, no old men or ugly ones.

Third, no one with a partner.

Well, it seemed like today was a bust.

Thinking this, she wiped the corner of her mouth and prepared to leave.

But then...

Ding-ding~

The door opened again.

A sweet-looking girl wearing a Lolita-style white dress walked in.

She stood at the entrance, looking around, and when her eyes landed on the man at the counter,

She smiled sweetly, waved, and walked over to him, saying, "Wang Yun!"

Wang Yun turned his head immediately, and upon seeing Yiyi approaching, he became nervous and stammered, "Yiyi..."

*Yiyi called me in front of so many people. She must really like me!*

Yiyi walked up and naturally took the Americano that had been placed on the table. She said with concern, "I waited outside for a while, thinking it might be inconvenient for you to carry so many things, so I came in to help."

Though she said this, she made no move to help Wang Yun with the bags.

Wang Yun was even more touched.

*Yiyi is so thoughtful, and she even agreed to come out on this mission with me...*

*She really treats me differently from others!*

"It’s fine, Yiyi. I found a seat over there. Let’s sit there."

Wang Yun awkwardly pointed to a spot near the restroom.

Yiyi glanced at it and paused before saying, "I don’t mind, but with so many things, that spot is a bit small, isn’t it?"

"Uh... yeah..."

Meanwhile,

Su Bailian’s lips curled into a slight smile.

*Oh~*

*So that’s how it is~*

With her experience, she could tell at a glance!

This woman!

Was just like her!

*Interesting...*

Thinking this,

Su Bailian stood up and walked toward the cashier. She handed over her membership card and said with a sweet smile, "Please check out for me, big brother."

The cashier was puzzled. "Uh..."

*Do I need to charge her for plain water?*

But since it was a beautiful woman asking, he decided to play along.

"Sure."

Wang Yun instinctively glanced at Su Bailian.

He was amazed that there could be someone with the same charm as Yiyi.

And her name was Bailian?

Such a beautiful name.

But he quickly turned back and said,

"Great, Yiyi, the window seat is free now!"

Yiyi nodded while glancing at Su Bailian, who had just finished paying and was leaving.

Her eyes showed a hint of mockery.

*Hmph, trying to act all innocent, you fake.*

With that, she turned back to Wang Yun and smiled. "Okay, let’s go, Wang Yun."

Ding-ding~

Outside the café, Su Bailian’s eyes gleamed with the look of a predator. She licked her lips.

With a sidelong glance at the two sitting by the window,

She thought, *The hunt begins!*
