Seduced by Success It's a Lie

As the words fell.

Buzz——!

Yiyi's expression froze.

Her brain short-circuited for a brief moment.

Id... idiot??

What... what did he just say?

"You..."

"You actually dared to curse at me?!!"

Yiyi could no longer hold back. She looked at Qin Luo in disbelief and screamed, "You have the guts to say that again!"

How many years had it been!

Ever since she obtained the system, no one had dared to speak to her like this!!!

Hearing this, Qin Luo smiled and said, "Idiot."

"Brain-dead."

"Delusional."

"Lowlife."

"You still want me to curse at you again?"

"Are you really... a masochist? Does it feel good when I curse at you?"

Yiyi's face twisted into an ugly expression in an instant: "Ahhhh!!!"

She screamed, "Bastard!!!"

"Qin Luo! I'll remember you! You'll regret treating me like this!"

Qin Luo chuckled, "You're making it sound like there's something between us. You're not even worthy."

"Ahhhh!!!"

Yiyi could no longer contain herself.

She gasped for breath, her eyes filled with rage as she glared at Qin Luo, gnashing her teeth as she said, "Fine, fine."

"Very well."

"Qin Luo, do you know why I dared to come to Jiang City alone?"

Qin Luo, however, looked puzzled and said, "Didn't you have a simp following you? Where's that simp now?"

"!! Tsk!!"

Yiyi's face twitched. She took a deep breath, choosing to ignore Qin Luo's nonsense.

Instead, she tried to regain her composure. She coldly stared at Qin Luo and said, "This world is far more complicated than you think."

"Qin Luo, I'll give you one last chance."

"If you cripple yourself and kneel on the ground to kowtow and apologize to me, I might let you live a decent life afterward."

"Otherwise..."

Qin Luo glanced at the time, then looked at Yiyi and said, "Hurry up, I'm listening."

"......."

Yiyi's face darkened. She completely gave up on trying to reason with Qin Luo.

She clenched her fists, and a faint pink glow appeared in her eyes as she coldly said, "Qin Luo, I admit you're quite attractive."

"And loyal."

"But... there are forces in this world that neither you nor I can comprehend."

"Regret it, wallow in despair."

"Because you'll regret being so arrogant!"

With that.

Yiyi extended her finger, and a pink halo appeared in her eyes as she whispered, "Charm!!"

Buzz——!

As the words fell, the pink light entered Qin Luo's eyes.

In an instant, Qin Luo's body stiffened, and his gaze became vacant.

.......

.......

Su Family Villa.

After switching between multiple accounts to argue with people online and spending hours defending Qin Luo's reputation, more and more people spontaneously joined Qin Luo's side.

"Tsk!"

"I can't go on! I'm exhausted!"

Su Muwan gasped for breath as she collapsed on the sofa. After a busy day, Su Muwan finally put down her phone.

She checked the time, her eyes filled with worry.

The first wave of public opinion had been somewhat contained.

But what about the future?

If the other side didn't back down, things would only get worse.

Speaking of which...

Su Muwan closed her eyes to rest for a moment. Why hadn't Qin Luo returned yet?

Didn't he say he was going to resolve this matter?

Just as she thought this.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Whoosh!

Su Muwan's eyes snapped open. Something was wrong!

Her gaze turned panicked.

The mastermind behind this incident was none other than that little witch with her strange abilities!

It might be related to her techniques, but that little witch could forcibly charm others and turn them into her loyal servants!

That's right!

Su Muwan jumped to her feet as she realized something terrifying.

Why were they targeting Qin Luo?

Aside from thinking Qin Luo was easier to deal with than her, there was another possibility...

They had their eyes on Qin Luo!

Su Muwan suddenly understood!

In her past life, that little witch had charmed wave after wave of pretty boys!

Qin Luo was so outstanding; it was only natural that she would set her sights on him!

So when Qin Luo said he would handle it...

Did that mean... he was walking into a trap?!

Su Muwan's pupils trembled. If... if Qin Luo got charmed...

Then...

Then...

No! That can't happen!!!

Su Muwan immediately frantically dialed a number: "Hello! Zhu Lan?? Do you know where Qin Luo went?"

"Uh, Miss Su... according to Shen Fei, Qin Luo is at Jiangyun Pavilion."

Jiangyun Pavilion!

"Got it!"

Su Muwan hung up the phone without further explanation after getting the information.

Her figure then flickered, transforming into a streak of light as she rushed out of the house.

Qin Luo, ahhhhhh!!!

....

....

Jiangyun Pavilion.

"Tsk... tsk... ha..."

"Damn it, as expected of an ultra-SSS-grade puppet. It drained all my charm energy."

Yiyi's face was pale, and her body was weak as she reached out to support herself on the table.

The Charm System had two methods of charming people.

One was to rely on her own charm to win over her enemies.

The other was to use charm energy to forcibly charm them.

She looked up at Qin Luo, who was now in a daze. This single attempt had completely exhausted all the charm energy she had accumulated over the years.

[Congratulations, Host! Charm successful!]

The system's notification rang in her mind.

This made Yiyi feel slightly better, and she became quite pleased.

She walked up to Qin Luo and looked at him with satisfaction: "Serves you right! This is the price for provoking me!"

"Hahaha! Ahahaha!!"

Yiyi couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.

She had overthought things. This guy was just a small-time follower. How could he possibly stand up to the system?

"Now... you're mine."

"I'll train you well and teach you what it means to be humble before your master."

"Also... I'll need you to retrieve the bronze cauldron from Su Muwan."

As Yiyi spoke, she reached out to touch Qin Luo's handsome face.

After all, this was the most perfect being she had ever charmed.

He was on a completely different level compared to her other puppets.

However, before she could touch Qin Luo.

In the next second.

Something unexpected happened.

Whoosh!

"!!!"

Qin Luo, who had been in a daze, instantly regained his clarity. He tightly gripped Yiyi's wrist, a slight smirk on his lips as he looked at Yiyi, whose pupils were trembling in shock, and mockingly said, "Just kidding."

"You—!!"

Yiyi's face changed drastically. She was about to speak.

But before she could, Qin Luo's movements suddenly accelerated, like a beast breaking free from its cage.

His hand, like an iron clamp, swiftly grabbed Yiyi's neck, forceful and decisive.

There was no hint of mercy, leaving her with no time to react.

Bang!!

Under the sudden force, Yiyi's body was slammed onto the dining table by Qin Luo, producing a heavy thud.

The table shook slightly from the impact, and the dishes on it clattered to the floor.

"You... how... how could..."

Yiyi struggled to speak, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She looked up with difficulty at the man before her. Her once confident and triumphant mood was shattered in an instant, replaced by fear and unease.

Why!

Why did the system's ability fail?

How is this possible?

Didn't the Charm System say it was successful?!

In the next second.

Qin Luo's expression also became unusually pleased. His lips curled into a slight smirk, carrying a hint of mockery and disdain. His sharp gaze, like a blade, pierced directly into Yiyi's shocked eyes.

The flickering candlelight on the table cast shadows on his face, accentuating his dominance and oppressive aura.

His chilling words then reached Yiyi's ears.

"This is the Charm System? Pathetic."

Qin Luo let out a soft chuckle, his tone filled with mockery and contempt for Yiyi.

His fingers tightened slightly, and Yiyi felt the terror of suffocation. Her face quickly turned pale, and despite her struggles, it was futile.

"You wanted to control me?"

Qin Luo leaned in slightly, his voice low and sarcastic as he spoke near Yiyi's ear.

"Too bad. You never stood a chance."

Buzz——!

Yiyi's brain was now completely shut down.

How... how did he know about my Charm System?

But before she could figure it out.

Qin Luo continued, "Checkmate, Miss Yiyi."

"By the way, I brought you a gift. Come on, try to glance out the window like a hardworking little bug," Qin Luo's words pierced Yiyi's heart like a sharp blade.

She suddenly realized that she might have underestimated this follower of hers.

Instinctively, Yiyi turned her gaze toward the floor-to-ceiling window.

And that single glance shattered her completely.

No... no, no...

What she saw was beyond belief.

The walls of the building, even every screen in sight, were broadcasting her deepest, darkest secret!

It was a past she never wanted to revisit, a memory she had buried forever.
