Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

These words, coupled with his actions, sounded like a helpless tenderness to Lu Tiannan, implying that he was just trying to coax him and get him to behave.

Being treated like a child... but it didn't feel so bad.

Lu Tiannan smiled innocently and kindly, "How could worrying about my brother be a matter of doing whatever I want? There are too many things eyeing my brother, and I can't rest easy about it."

After saying that, he slowly tried to find reasons to persuade Shen Yi.

"How can you be so sure that William isn't Mrs. Campbell's lover? There's nothing wrong with him having an affair with her in that capacity."

Xi Mingzhu lifted her eyelids and stared straight at Lu Tiannan, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only calm.

"Lu Tiannan, is it William and Mrs. Campbell having an affair, or are you trying to have an affair with me?"

His tone was calm and even, as if he were chatting casually.

A pair of eyes devoid of desire, pure and innocent.

Lu Tiannan raised an eyebrow and gazed at Shen Yi with a smile.

Even though I know the other person doesn't have any ulterior motives, I'm inexplicably drawn to them and want to make it official.

“I want to steal it… but my brother has to agree, right? The dress is pretty, those old men have good taste. It’s just that there are too many onlookers—” Before she could finish the word “annoyed,” Lu Tiannan suddenly grabbed Shen Yi’s arms and then quickly tilted his head to bite down on her fair neck.

Lu Tiannan had a childish thought: once he left a mark, he was someone else's person, and no one could touch him.

Xi Mingzhu's struggles were far less powerful than Lu Tiannan's restraining force. He winced in pain, his lips slightly parted as he gasped for breath.

It was time to kick, but the skirt held me back. Ever since entering this instance, I've been restricted in every way.

Lu Tiannan licked the tooth mark he had made with his tongue. It hadn't broken the skin, only left a deep indentation of his back teeth.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but such a trace would soon disappear; it wasn't enough.

"If it weren't for Gu Junbai's talent, I guess the traces that should have remained here would be the same?"

Xi Mingzhu recalled that Lu Tiannan had obediently handed over the room card before the reset, and even after the reset, he still handed it to him without taking a bite out of it. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

At that time, he said they were even, and Lu Tiannan neither refuted nor agreed. Like a wolf cub, he'd pounce and bite back at the slightest provocation.

Xi Mingzhu broke free from Lu Tiannan's loose grip, half-closed his eyes, and said coldly, "It's different. Your teeth were much sharper back at the hotel than they are now."

It's blatantly saying you're useless.

If anyone else had provoked him like that, Lu Tiannan would have immediately remembered it. But since he had just bitten the person in front of him, he couldn't help but feel smug and pleased.

The smile in his eyes was hard to hide.

Her tongue licked her lower lip in an ambiguous way, and she said in an unusually gentle tone, "Brother, remember to think of me even on nights when I'm not around."

After Lu Tiannan left, Jiang Yuzhou didn't return immediately. Shen Yi changed out of the cumbersome dress on her own.

0561 stared at the reddening marks on its host's neck, furious that the villain had gone too far, biting its host twice already! Without a second thought! This was outrageous!!

I feel so sorry for them all!

0561 said with absolute certainty: "Host, next time we meet, I'll bite Lu Tiannan to death to avenge you!"

"..." Xi Mingzhu stared silently at the angry sphere in front of him, hoping that the little thing would calm down and be a good-for-nothing.

0561 is so weak in Xi Mingzhu's eyes that even if you give it a chicken leg to gnaw on, it will break two of its teeth.

Bit Lu Tiannan to death? Anything can happen in a dream.

Xi Mingzhu lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling. This role-playing game restricted him, and he was always the weaker party.

The past is repeating itself, and everything that Mrs. Campbell, who was not redeemed, experienced will be repeated in his life.

Items and soul fire cannot cause damage. In terms of brute force alone, he can only fight two NPCs at a time without getting hurt or tired, and he may not even be able to last until the end of the storyline.

Difficult to handle.

Jiang Yuzhou turned back after receiving Lu Tiannan's message. Lu Tiannan, without any hesitation, ordered him around, telling him to keep an eye on Shen Yi.

Are you optimistic about Shen Yi? How could someone so grown up get lost?

Lu Tiannan hummed a little tune as he returned home, but when he opened the door and saw Zhai Mingxu still chewing on a lollipop stick, he couldn't be happy at all.

Zhai Mingxu stared blankly, having witnessed this lightning-fast change of expression, and was not very happy about it.

With a candy stick in his mouth, he mumbled, "What are you doing? I didn't do anything to you."

Lu Tiannan remembered something and decided to do some accounting.

"Shen Yi did not join Shence."

Zhai Mingxu was puzzled. "Yes, there isn't."

Lu Tiannan's dagger gleamed coldly, his smile both wicked and sinister.

"Shouldn't you properly explain why you went around in circles and played me for a fool?"

Zhai Mingxu jumped up suddenly, almost dropping the candy stick.

The candy was all gone, only the stick was left, and I just wanted to keep it in my mouth.

After all that, he looked around, trying to find a good place to hide.

"Don't be unreasonable! I told you to ask him yourself. I'm just respecting his privacy."

Lu Tiannan raised an eyebrow. He had only meant to scare the other party, but he didn't expect such a strong reaction.

"If that makes sense, what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhai Mingxu opened his eyes wide, "I'm afraid you'll be unreasonable."

With a chuckle, Lu Tiannan lazily replied, "You're right, I'm just unreasonable."

Zhai Mingxu opened his mouth as if to say something but then hesitated, which amused Lu Tiannan. Why was the vice president of Shence so afraid of him?

"Tell me, how did you manage to persuade Shen Yi to come in?"

Zhai Mingxu looked at Lu Tiannan suspiciously. Why not just ask Shen Yi himself? Why go through all this trouble?

Faced with the threat, Zhai Mingxu didn't want to fight Lu Tiannan; fighting would only waste his energy and bring him no benefit.

So, he told them about Shen Yi's plan to refine pills.

I thought Lu Tiannan would laugh it off as a joke, but to my surprise, Lu Tiannan listened with a serious expression and muttered to himself, "Alchemy, huh..."

There is no further content.

Zhai Mingxu ignored him and, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be going to make a move, climbed into bed to rest. Tang Gun was finally free.

That evening, Jiang Yuzhou received a message from Lu Tiannan: "[Go out of the dungeon and get some herbs, I'll buy them no matter how many points you give.]"

[? ? ? ]

Saying something like that late at night makes it hard not to suspect that the other person's account has been hacked.

You can't be possessed by an NPC, and the Duke can't accept herbs either; it would be too embarrassing if word got out.

Lu Tiannan assumed the other party had a problem with the three question marks, and said rather rudely: [I didn't ask you to spend points.]

Jiang Yuzhou didn't know what was wrong with Lu Tiannan, so he looked at Shen Yi, who was lying on the sofa for a long time staring blankly at the ceiling, and sighed.

They just randomly put together one or two things, it's all a matter of whimsy.

As night fell, Jiang Yuzhou lay in bed and began to feel sleepy, quickly drifting off into a deep sleep in complete darkness.

Lying on the sofa, Xi Mingzhu couldn't think of a solution and could only wait and see. He'd deal with whatever came his way.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Xi Mingzhu immediately sat up. Standing in the doorway were Duke Russell and his entourage.

Come again?

Xi Mingzhu immediately turned over and got off the sofa, and the other attendants rushed up and surrounded him.

Strangely, Jiang Yuzhou was sleeping as if he were dead.
