First Encounter

“Yiyi, I heard there are many fun places in Jiang City. After we retrieve the vase, I’ll take you to explore.”

“Mhm.”

“By the way, two new movies just came out, starring the super popular actor Yan Qiuyue. I’ll buy two tickets, and we can watch them together.”

“Sure.”

“Do you like this cake? Yiyi, should I get you another one?”

“Oh…”

Yiyi was busy plotting how to charm Qin Luo into becoming her personal servant, but Wang Yun, like an annoying fly, kept buzzing around her, talking nonstop.

She felt disgusted. If only the abilities of a Transcender weren’t ineffective against other Transcenders.

She really wanted to shut him up forever and turn him into a puppet she could control.

Just as she was thinking this, a figure caught the corner of her eye.

The person only showed a side profile.

“Hey, two iced Americanos, please.”

“Coming right up.”

“Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to one of them.”

“Got it.”

“Do you have any shark keychains here?”

“Uh… no, we don’t…”

“You don’t even have that? How dare you run a coffee shop in Jiang City?”

“???”

“Stop with the question marks. Your shop will start selling shark keychains tomorrow.”

“???”

“I told you to stop with the question marks.”

Though she only saw his side profile and his words were a bit cryptic, Yiyi’s eyes lit up.

Wow, a hottie!

She turned to Wang Yun, clearing her throat to interrupt him. “Brother Wang Yun, I suddenly really want a cup of vanilla milk tea from the first floor. Could you go buy one for me?”

Wang Yun immediately nodded. “Of course! Wait here, Yiyi!”

He hurried off.

As for Yiyi, she straightened her collar and sat back down gracefully.

As the owner of the **Divine Charm System**, Yiyi’s main mission was to use the system’s abilities to charm all sorts of people.

To put it simply, as long as she made a move, there had never been a failure!

Just as she was thinking this, she noticed the figure turning and walking toward her.

She didn’t get a good look at his face but quickly averted her gaze, sitting upright.

She reached out and grabbed her coffee.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of footsteps approached.

Just as the person passed by her table—

Yiyi picked up her coffee but pretended to slip. Splash!

“Oh no!”

She accidentally spilled the coffee all over her clothes.

“Oh no… what should I do…?”

“My clothes… how could this happen…?”

She muttered anxiously, her eyes slightly red, exuding a mix of shyness and charm.

She lowered her head, letting a strand of hair fall perfectly by her cheek, enhancing her pitiful appearance.

As if noticing someone nearby for the first time, she quickly looked up and met the gaze of the man beside her.

“I-I’m sorry, could you help me, sir?”

But as soon as she looked up—

Yiyi froze.

He’s so handsome!

Then she froze again.

Wait… isn’t this the target?!

Perfect!

This is the perfect chance to charm him!

Just a handsome guy? There’s no one I can’t charm!

Wang Yun, you’re so useless. I don’t need a fool like you for this mission!

......

......

Meanwhile, on the first floor.

Wang Yun was holding the freshly bought vanilla milk tea, recalling Yiyi’s smiles and words. He couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Hehe, I’ve been so good to Yiyi. Maybe after the mission, she’ll even confess her feelings to me!”

Then he shook his head, looking a bit embarrassed. “No, no, that’s too shameless of me.”

“How could I expect a girl to confess first?”

Just then—

“Ah—!”

A panicked scream rang out.

Wang Yun turned and was stunned.

A woman in a white dress was standing there, holding a milk tea lid, looking helpless. A stain of milk tea had spilled on her dress.

The floor was a mess, and passersby whispered as they walked by. The woman shrank back, looking pitiful.

She glanced around, searching for help.

Finally…

Her eyes landed on Wang Yun.

He blinked.

Looking left and right, he thought, Me?

No, no, I have the vanilla milk tea. Yiyi is waiting for me!

Wang Yun shook his head. He vaguely remembered this woman from the coffee shop. Her name was Su Bailian, right?

Though she looked pitiful, you’ll have to find someone else.

He tried to avoid her gaze.

But then—

“Sir… could you help me…?”

Su Bailian’s eyes were moist, her voice soft and trembling, like a gentle breeze that could sway anyone’s heart.

Ugh!

Wang Yun stopped in his tracks. He turned and met Su Bailian’s gaze.

Her eyes were filled with innocence and panic, as if the accident had left her completely flustered.

The stain on her white dress only added to her fragile, pitiful image.

But no! Yiyi is waiting for me!

“Sir…”

No…

“Sniff… sniff…”

Seeing that no one was helping her, Su Bailian’s tears began to fall.

You—! You—! Ahh!!

Wang Yun walked over. “How can I help…?”

Seeing this, Su Bailian’s sobs softened slightly. She glanced at Wang Yun, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes.

Hehe.

Sorry, miss.

The guy you’re trying to reel in is mine now.

......

......

Back at the coffee shop.

“......”

Qin Luo held two cups of coffee, staring thoughtfully at Yiyi.

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.

He wasn’t stunned by her obvious “green tea” act.

Instead…

**[Detected a Divine Charm System user!]**

**[Special mission issued: Collect the Divine Charm System!]**

**[Reward: Eyes of Charm (Charm others into becoming your puppets. The higher their affection, the higher the success rate. Warning: Failure results in backlash!)]**

Hah…

So this is where we meet?

A faint smile appeared on Qin Luo’s lips as he looked at Yiyi’s pitiful expression.

He said, “Should I call an ambulance for your epilepsy?”

“Do you need this much drama over a cup of coffee?”

Yiyi’s expression stiffened: ?

With that, Qin Luo walked past her, heading toward the door. “Miss, your coffee and shark keychain.”

“Hehe, so cute, even though it’s black… Hey, did you make this with your powers?”

“Caught me, huh?”

“Hmph, who do you think I am? I’ve got sharp eyes!”

“You’ve been watching too much *Journey to the West*.”

“*Journey to the West*? Wasn’t that the game I played last time?”

“I’ll tell you the story of *Journey to the West* tonight.”

“Can’t wait!”

Listening to the conversation behind her, Yiyi’s cheek twitched. She glanced sideways at the two leaving the coffee shop.

When she saw the figure that matched the hologram she’d seen earlier, her smile faded, replaced by a dark expression.

How convenient…

Su Muwan… Qin Luo…

Looks like I’ve found you both!

Perfect!

She stared at Qin Luo’s retreating figure, a sly smile forming on her lips.

Man, you’ve successfully caught my attention.

The more you resist, the more I want to make you mine.

......

Speaking of which.

Why hasn’t that useless Wang Yun come back yet??
