Such a Two-Faced Little Man (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

[Check-in successful. Reward: one level of Spirit Power, one point of Stamina, and one centimeter of length.]

The next morning, Lu Mingchuan woke up to the sound of the check-in notification.

Hearing the reward announcement in his ears, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

More Spirit Power again; he already had plenty of that sitting in his inventory.

"System, the previous script should be finished by now, right?"

His performance was only meant to last for that one day.

If it was over, it was time to switch to a new script.

[It is finished...]

Lu Mingchuan said with dissatisfaction, "What is wrong with you? I finally managed to follow your script to the end, where is the respect for a Best Actor like me? Where is the trust? You aren't usually like this."

This was his first time successfully completing a scripted performance, yet this damn System was so indifferent.

Did it not know what talent was?

A firework went off in the air, and colorful streamers drifted down from the sky.

[Congratulations, congratulations.]

"Tch~"

Lu Mingchuan waved his hand; this guy was truly boring.

"So, the Spirit Hall arc for Lu Mingchuan has wrapped up?"

This was a particularly important matter. Previously, his scenes had always followed his own whims, and he had no idea what was supposed to happen after a script ended.

The reason he had always wanted to retire to the mountains was precisely because the scripts this bastard gave him were too trashy. If there were a fun script, he certainly wouldn't have developed such thoughts.

"Give me a script with a longer plot!"

Lu Mingchuan began to examine his rewards.

[If you possessed the ability to make any part of your body longer, which part would you choose to use it on?]

What the hell?

Bibi Dong, who had just finished a night of cultivation, and Tang Yuehua, who had been up for quite a while, both froze in place upon hearing Lu Mingchuan's voice.

[To think there's such a good thing; of course I would... hehe.]

Bibi Dong clutched her head, black lines appearing on her forehead.

Is this guy such a closet pervert? How did I not notice that when we spent time together before?

[It seems I don't have any scenes today, but Dongzi, given that obsession of Gangzi's, if he doesn't achieve his wish, he's going to pester you for a lifetime.]

[With that tenacious body of his, Gangzi will definitely be able to show up today. Protected by the Halo of Luck, what kind of serious injury could he possibly sustain?]

[Sigh, having to wait several days to switch scripts is truly unbearable.]

[But I feel like my luck is good; it should give me a normal script this time.]

[Even though Dongzi's brain has become more flexible, this is your destiny, and it is inescapable.]

[But Tang Yuehua told me last night that she would come to find me in person. I wonder if she has arrived yet?]

[Although your figure is truly amazing, please, I beg you not to come and disturb me.]

Bibi Dong let out a cold snort.

Even though she had become more quick-witted in Lu Mingchuan's eyes, she still felt incredibly annoyed.

Why was that loser Yu Xiaogang only fixated on her?

And what did he mean by "no scenes"? Just wait and see if I don't give you a scene, you dog of a man!

However, hearing Lu Mingchuan praise Tang Yuehua made Bibi Dong feel truly uncomfortable. Where was she inferior to that woman?

Aside from that old woman having a slightly better figure and a more "generous" chest, what else was worth mentioning?

The maid currently serving Bibi Dong lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze.

She was terrified that the moody Saintess would vent her anger on her.

It was clear that the Saintess had been in a very good mood when she returned yesterday.

Lu Mansion.

After tidying up, Lu Mingchuan prepared to fake an illness to avoid Tang Yuehua, who was coming to tutor him today.

He had only just taken off half his clothes when his bedroom door suddenly opened.

Tang Yuehua, wearing a warm fur coat, pushed the door open and entered the room, staring straight at him as he changed.

Lu Mingchuan raised an eyebrow at her.

Yet, the woman opposite him acted as if she saw nothing, her gaze fixed intently on him.

"Teacher, do you want to touch these six-pack abs?"

He had assumed that Tang Yuehua would back down, considering that yesterday, she had lost her composure after just a light hug.

Who would have thought that Tang Yuehua would stride over with her long legs and sit on the edge of his automatic massage bed.

Those cool, small hands slid directly under his quilt.

She gave a charming smile and said, "It's very cold in the morning, and even your sister can't stand it. I wonder if my little brother would be willing to let me warm my hands."

What the hell?

Did she evolve after just one night?

Tang Yuehua looked at the shocked Lu Mingchuan, her eyes hiding uncontrollable amusement.

Her main purpose in coming today was to shock Lu Mingchuan.

Of course, it wasn't because of her current actions that she wanted to shock him, but rather her attitude toward that guy Yu Xiaogang.

She knew she could never be the kind of woman Lu Mingchuan truly desired, so she had to prove herself, and the first step of that proof was to use Yu Xiaogang as a sacrificial lamb.

Lu Mingchuan looked at her with a bitter smile: "Are you really going to class today?"

His current script had no scenes left; what was the point of going to class?

Tang Yuehua covered her face and chuckled: "It's just that your sister wants to buy some real estate, but I can't quite make up my mind, so I wanted to ask my little brother to give me some advice."

After returning yesterday, she had been thinking about one thing.

In this world, strength was ultimately supreme, and with her current innate soul power of level nine, she was nothing but a snack in anyone's eyes.

Since she could hear Lu Mingchuan's inner thoughts, she had to use these opportunities to change her own destiny.

[Buying a house in Spirit City?]

[Huazi, this isn't like you, is it? Even if you were sitting on a mountain of gold later on, you wouldn't do anything related to business, let alone buy property.]

[Don't tell me some unscrupulous merchant is running a scam on you? You finally managed to squeeze ten billion in subsidies out of Spirit Hall; don't go and waste it all like this.]

Tang Yuehua slowly retracted her hands.

It was rare for this kid Lu Mingchuan to still have a conscience and know how to care for his sister.

However, wasn't the reason she came to find him today to make up her mind?

Lu Mingchuan propped up his chin and feigned ignorance: "Then I think it should be somewhere closer to Spirit Hall, right? After all, there are many Title Douluo there."

When he played this script before, he had pulled off such scams himself, though the final debts were always shouldered by that scapegoat, Gangzi.

Gangzi was still quite valuable; the money he exchanged from his father covered the losses of those soul masters. As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, how much money did they lose? That, he didn't know.

[You asked the right person for this.]

[You definitely shouldn't buy a house in Spirit City.]

???

Tang Yuehua was stunned, looking at this two-faced little man. His mouth was suggesting she buy near Spirit Hall, yet his inner thoughts were telling her not to buy property in Spirit City.

Could it be that her surprise attack this morning had made him that unhappy?

[Why are you looking at me? I'm trying to warn you, aren't I? Don't tell me you didn't understand what I meant?]

Lu Mingchuan looked at Tang Yuehua's bewildered expression and felt that he had overestimated her.
