Chapter 216: Chapter 216: For the 6 of Us, a Good Life Beats Everything

"Yes, just like that. The more you refuse me, the more excited I get. Hehehe."

"I just love your type. A little wildcat."

"Let’s be real. I don’t care if you’ve got the stomach for it. You’re going to live off me. You can do it the easy way, or you can do it the hard way."

"Bottom line, you have to."

The spurned young woman didn’t mind at all. In fact, her gaze on Qin Zhan grew even more feverish, as if he were already in the palm of her hand.

She planted her hands on her hips and declared domineeringly.

"Little beauty, hehehe, come with me."

"I’ll take care of you."

The young woman stared at Qin Zhan’s face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and fell even more in love.

’Yes, that’s it. That defiant, untamable look in his eyes fills me with the desire to conquer him.’

’Powerful women are born to conquer proud men like him. Sooner or later, I’ll have him lying beneath me, crying out.’

’All this talk about not wanting to... in the end, doesn’t it just mean the price isn’t high enough?’

’I refuse to believe there’s a man in this world who could resist the temptation of money.’

’Money? I have more than enough.’

Facing this unreasonable, domineering woman, and feeling the gazes of the onlookers enjoying the show, Qin Zhan wanted to die of shame and indignation.

He repeatedly shot glances at his terrible friend, hoping he would save him from this fiery predicament.

At another table, Jiang Yunhe slowly but firmly averted his gaze.

’I must have gone blind for a second. Didn’t see a thing.’

"You!"

Qin Zhan was grinding his molars so hard he could have shattered them. Seeing that he couldn’t count on Jiang Yunhe, he could only turn to Lu Wu for help.

"Ahem."

"This pastry is quite delicious."

Lu Wu stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, savoring it carefully. The cloying sweetness made her stomach churn. She raised her teacup to wash away the sickly taste, which also conveniently blocked Qin Zhan’s pleading gaze.

’Sorry, my hands are tied.’

’She really wanted to say, ’If you can’t fight it, just give in.’’

’Isn’t there a saying? "Youth is wasted on the young, who don’t appreciate a rich older woman or the sweet taste of a free ride."’

’Accept that bowl of "soft rice," and you can skip decades of struggle in life, my dude.’

Looking at the young woman’s attire—from her clothes to her jewelry and accessories—everything was a Spiritual Artifact, and high-grade, matching sets at that.

From Lu Wu’s shallow perspective, this was a genuine, bona fide rich woman.

"You guys!"

Qin Zhan went completely Hong Wen.

They had just left the Divine Spear Sect today, wanting to take this opportunity to gain some experience in the Southern State.

But who knew that the moment they found a place to rest their feet, this young woman would latch onto him.

To be fair, the young woman was quite pretty, but Qin Zhan really wasn’t in the mood.

Seeing that she was still cackling away, Qin Zhan glanced at his companions, who were clearly enjoying the show, and decided to drag someone down with him.

His expression shifted, turning sorrowful.

"Stop pestering me. It’ll never work out between us."

"To be honest... I don’t like women."

As he spoke, a blush crept onto his face, and he shyly lifted his eyes to peek at Jiang Yunhe.

His gaze was shy and ambiguous.

The affection within it rippled like endless waves.

"Pfft!"

Shan Hanzhi spat out his drink.

Beside him, Long Zhang wiped his cheek with a handkerchief, a wide smile on his face.

’Mhm, even my beloved’s spit smells fragrant.’

Jiang Yunhe, who had been comfortably enjoying the show, now had veins popping on his forehead. He shot a sinister glare at Qin Zhan for ruining his reputation and reached for his storage bag.

He was wondering what kind of gut-rotting poison he could use to grind Qin Zhan’s bones to dust.

"What!"

The young woman exclaimed, apparently not having expected this turn of events.

She looked from Qin Zhan to Jiang Yunhe, and then her gaze fixed on Jiang Yunhe, unmoving.

"You’re not bad looking either."

Her thoughtful gaze made Jiang Yunhe’s skin crawl.

To avoid being force-fed that "soft rice," Jiang Yunhe placed a hand on Lou Xiaotian’s shoulder and replied with a faint smile.

"Sorry, I don’t like women either."

He also shot Lou Xiaotian a look, signaling him to play along.

One moment he was watching the play, the next he was a character in it. Lou Xiaotian was dumbfounded.

But he reacted quickly, slinging an arm around Long Zhang’s neck.

"Sorry, I’m already in love with someone."

Squeezing his arm, Lou Xiaotian urged Long Zhang to pick up his cue.

"Huh?"

But alas, the Little Prince hadn’t been "on shore" for long and hadn’t quite learned the ways of the world. He didn’t understand such a subtle gesture.

"But I like women."

This natural retort made the corner of Lou Xiaotian’s mouth twitch.

’Who cares if you like women?’

’No, wait!’

’I like women too!’

Seeing this, Qin Zhan let out a sly grin.

’Diversion successful!’

"So, let me get this straight. This is a love pentagon: you love him, but he loves him, who loves another him, and that one loves a woman. Right?"

The young woman rubbed her chin, starting to get the gist of it.

Then, with a dismissive wave of her hand, she said, "No problem. I don’t care who you all like. My love is all-encompassing."

"Don’t worry, I’m not here to break you up. I’m here to join the family."

"The six of us will live a happy life together from now on."

What a loving and harmonious family.

The young woman’s brazenly open attitude was truly stunning. Even Lu Wu secretly gave her a thumbs-up.

’That’s a step beyond ruthless. That’s a Werewolf.’

THUD!

That was the sound of the teacup in Qin Zhan’s hand falling to the floor.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and straightened his clothes.

With a face like polished jade and a presence like a tree in the wind, Qin Zhan, based on looks alone, certainly had what it took to make women throw caution to the wind for him.

He gave the young woman a crooked, devilishly charming smile. And you had to admit, he looked damn good.

And just like that, the young woman’s eyes started to sparkle.

"Have you come around?"

The young woman was delighted, only to see Qin Zhan raise his head and point in Jiang Yunhe’s direction.

"Look, he’s agreed to your proposal."

"Really!"

The surprise came so suddenly. The young woman turned her head to look, only to see an empty seat.

Jiang Yunhe was gone.

Lou Xiaotian was gone too.

Not just the two of them; even Long Zhang had been dragged away by Shan Hanzhi.

"You tricked me."

The young woman stomped her foot, pouting.

There was no response.

She looked back again, and—well, what do you know—Qin Zhan was gone too.

What a brilliant feint to the east and attack to the west, with everyone scattering to the winds.

The "loving family" had fallen apart in an instant. Was it a distortion of human nature or a lapse of morality? Find out on the next three episodes of *Into the World of Science*.

Having had her fill of the drama, Lu Wu witnessed their flying escape, and her mouth twisted into a wide grin.

"I’m so mad!"

Being treated like this, the young woman was fuming.

Seeing that her targets had run off, she turned her gaze to Lu Wu.

’She’s... quite pretty and delicate. Maybe...’

When that appraising gaze landed on Lu Wu, a chill ran down her spine.

[Ding! A new mission has been issued.]

The System’s voice rang out at that exact moment. Lu Wu hadn’t even read the details yet when her eyes caught the large word: Teleport.

"Accept, accept! I’ll accept any mission! System, hurry up and teleport me away!"

She had her principles. She would absolutely not be the other woman... no, wait, the seventh wheel.

[...]

[Teleporting.]

WHOOSH!

Lu Wu vanished.

The young woman was silent for a moment, then finally looked at Zhang Yue, who was now all alone.

Zhang Yue: ...

"Actually, I don’t see any problem with your thinking."

Zhang Yue first expressed her support for the young woman, then snapped her fingers, and a ghost spirit appeared beside her.

"I can join you, but there’s one condition: you have to become a ghost spirit."

"Because I’m not interested in humans. I’m only into human-ghost relationships."

Crossing genders was nothing; she went straight for crossing species.

Who dared to challenge her?
