Inside the carriage—

Ziyue sat facing the front of the carriage alone, while Qi Qiu and Jiang Yu sat facing each other on either side of her.

Although the carriage was spacious enough that even with the three of them seated inside, it didn't feel crowded at all...

but! !! !!

They were both perfectly capable of riding horses, yet they insisted on squeezing into this carriage with her. It was really too much.

The place Qi Qiu mentioned for boating and flower viewing, Nanhu, is outside the city, about half an hour away.

The three of them were initially staring at each other blankly.

Later, Ziyue took out a deck of cards.

"Come on, let's play cards."

Don't just sit there doing nothing; it'll help pass the time.

The two looked at the thin, paper-like pieces that Ziyue had taken out, and asked in unison with curiosity.

"What is this?"

"How do you play?"

Qi Qiuyi and Jiang Yu turned their heads to look at each other, then simultaneously looked away.

"This deck of cards has 54 cards in total. Each person gets 17 cards, and 3 cards are left as the bottom cards. These cards range from 1 to..."

Ziyue first explained the rules and gameplay of Dou Dizhu to the two of them.

Both of them were extremely intelligent.

Otherwise, one wouldn't have achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations and become the Minister of Personnel, a position of great favor to the emperor, in such a short time, while the other would have made his fortune across the country and become almost the richest man in the world.

Ziyue led the two to try out a game, and they quickly mastered the rules.

"One against ten".

"One against two."

"It exploded."

"One five."

"One nine."

"One three."

……

"I won."

……

As a result, such sounds could always be heard from this carriage.

The journey of about half an hour passed quickly as the three of them played cards.

Apart from Ziyue, the other two still looked like they hadn't had enough.

After all, I've never played it before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the carriage came to a stop, they arrived at their destination—South Lake.

Qi Qiuyi and Jiang Yu were the first to get off the carriage, and then they both raised their arms to help Ziyue get off.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with a meaning only they themselves knew.

As soon as Ziyue peeked out from the carriage door where the curtain had been lifted, she saw the unspoken tension between the two men.

With a slight tremor in his heart, he ignored the outstretched hands of the two people and jumped off the carriage on his own.

The carriage is only this high, she doesn't need them to help her, she can manage on her own, okay?

No need, really no need.

Jiang Yu chuckled and withdrew her arm, flicked her sleeves, and quickly followed Zi Yue to her side.

Qi Qiu also casually withdrew her hand, lifted her foot, and followed the woman walking in front, leading the way for the two of them.

Ziyue felt cheerful as soon as she stepped out of the carriage.

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. Tall trees in the distance were lush and green, and the lake water, refracted by the sunlight, was like scattered gold on the surface, like tiny stars, a breathtaking sight.

Ziyue and Qi Qiuyi arrived at the lakeside.

Here, a passenger ship is already moored on the lakeside, waiting.

After several people boarded the boat, it slowly began to drift towards the center of the lake.

After crossing the deck and entering the ship's interior, you'll find a large hall with a round table sitting quietly in the center, surrounded by draped green gauze. Through the windows on both sides, you can see the beautiful scenery outside.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter came in and served them tea, several plates of snacks, and osmanthus cake, which Ziyue loved.

The group leisurely ate tea and snacks, chatted, and watched the colorful water and lotus flowers outside. Some boats occasionally passed by them. Ziyue felt that life was so pleasant and wonderful.

She really enjoyed this leisurely and comfortable feeling, free from worries and trivialities, where time seemed to slow down, making her feel very comfortable.

This inevitably made her think that it was the system's binding that gave her these experiences that were different from ordinary people, allowing her to see all kinds of people and things in different worlds. She gained immortality, but she did not want the loneliness of eternal life.

Besides, she has learned so much, and with Xiao Jiu'er's help, she has accumulated so much wealth that others don't have and can't even imagine.

If she can't live a carefree and joyful life in these worlds, then what's the point of her life in this small world?

So, no matter which life she lives in, no matter what world she's in, she wants to eat the most delicious food, wear the most beautiful clothes, see the most beautiful scenery, date the most handsome men, have the sweetest romance, and do whatever she pleases.

Therefore, if she meets someone suitable, someone she likes, someone she has feelings for, and someone who loves her in return, she won't miss the opportunity.

She remembered the first small world she entered, a small world on the verge of its own demise.

In that world, she, Shi Yu, Qin Zhan, and Qi Yuanyi were together.

However, that was because of the arrival of the apocalypse, which caused a severe imbalance in the male-to-female ratio, so situations where one woman had multiple men were common and were in accordance with the laws of the country at the time.

Knowing that Shi Yu, Qin Zhan, and Qi Yuanyi all loved her very much and would only ever have her, she felt no psychological burden at all accepting all three of them at the same time.

She knew what Qi Qiuyi and Jiang Yu thought of her. To her, these two men were talented, beautiful, had great figures, had power, status, and wealth...

He is a man who can absolutely be called a chosen one in this era.

She wasn't completely indifferent to these two people; after all, she's always been someone who's attracted to good-looking people.

Okay, to put it bluntly, she's just after their sex appeal.

To put it bluntly, she just wanted their bodies.

But what happened?

A graceful and beautiful woman is also sought after by gentlemen.

Why can't she like all handsome men?

Which law stipulates that a woman can only love one man?

In modern times, young women often say something like this—

My meager virtue as a woman is entirely sustained by poverty!

Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women have three husbands and four concubines?

It's all about who's stronger and who's right.

When a person has a high enough position and is powerful enough, then that person's principles become the truth, and all of their behavioral norms will be rationalized. Even if their behavior is unconventional, no one will dare to question it, and they will even actively find reasons to exonerate them.

In this ordinary little world, she was already strong enough, strong enough that she could do whatever she wanted.

Do whatever you want!
