You Took On a Divorced Dad?

The plants beside them swayed as if alive, directly encircling the two of them.

"Ivy knows we're here."

Harley Quinn wore a smile.

Sure enough, all the greenery parted, opening a path for Harley.

But when Li Ang tried to follow, the plants blocked his way.

"Ivy, he's with me. Let him through."

Seeing this, Harley Quinn immediately called out.

The plants hesitated for a moment, but soon moved aside.

Li Ang and Harley Quinn walked in. The place looked like an exhibition hall, except there was nothing else on display—only all kinds of plants.

With Li Ang's shallow botanical knowledge, he naturally couldn't recognize more than a few of them.

"Dear Harley, I thought you'd finally come to your senses and realized that men can't be relied on. It seems you're still hopelessly obsessed."

A soft, mature female voice drifted over.

"Haha, Ivy, Li Ang is different."

"How is he different?"

"He makes my heart race."

Harley Quinn looked completely lovestruck, leaving Pamela, Poison Ivy, who had yet to appear, speechless.

Still, she was used to it. Harley Quinn had always been like this, the type who would give everything for the person she loved.

Poison Ivy, who prided herself on being an independent, environmentally conscious woman, looked down on that.

Then she heard Harley Quinn continue, "And... Li Ang has an adorable daughter. Don't you think that's interesting?"

"What!?"

Poison Ivy, who had been taking her time until now, could no longer keep her composure and immediately appeared.

It turned out she had not been elsewhere at all. She had been inside a gigantic "flower."

At that moment, the enormous "carnivorous flower" opened its petals, revealing an exceptionally beautiful woman reclining within it, staring at Harley Quinn with an utterly shocked expression.

"You took on a divorced dad?"

Poison Ivy asked Harley Quinn in disbelief.

She had a beautiful face and a graceful figure. She wore a strapless, high-cut bodysuit made entirely of green ivy leaves, along with long gloves, thigh-high boots, and bright green pantyhose.

Her wavy red hair and scarlet lips gave her a dangerous yet deadly allure.

Judging by looks alone, she was no less striking than Harley Quinn.

"Are you crazy, Harley? Did he put you under mind control or something?"

Seeing the usually calm Poison Ivy like this, Harley was not surprised at all. Instead, she said smugly, "You don't understand, darling. You just don't understand!"

"Of course I don't!"

Pamela stared at Li Ang in disbelief. "Other than being handsome, he has nothing going for him!"

"Ivy!"

Harley Quinn was displeased. "He's not just handsome, he's also huge!"

"And he's very skilled too!"

Though it was praise, Li Ang was not pleased.

Wasn't he supposed to be funny, charming, and full of character?

"I don't believe it!"

Poison Ivy drifted over to Li Ang's side, grabbed his shoulders, and was about to kiss him by force.

But Harley Quinn stopped her.

"Hey!"

Harley Quinn said unhappily, "Ivy, I came here because I need something."

"You need something?"

Poison Ivy carefully looked Harley Quinn over, then suddenly said, "Wow, Harley, you look so pretty now."

"You're not dressed like a circus performer anymore!"

"Yes!"

Harley Quinn became excited as well. She hopped up and down. "I'm even better now, and it's all thanks to Li Ang."

She hooked her arm through Li Ang's, looking like they were deeply in love, which made Poison Ivy somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Ang once again marveled at how impossible it was for him to understand women's thought processes.

Was this really such an important matter?

Still, he had the feeling that Poison Ivy was somewhat hostile toward him.

After being happy for a while, Pamela immediately said, "Go on, Harley. What else do you need?"

She had calmed down. With her "green" makeup, she resembled a deadly poisonous vine.

She no longer paid attention to Harley Quinn and Li Ang's relationship.

Because she simply could not understand it.

How had a man who was merely handsome, and possibly a divorced father with a child, managed to captivate Harley Quinn?

Could it really be just because he was big?

Harley Quinn also calmed down, no longer looking as crazed as before.

Holding Li Ang's arm, she said, "Ivy, Li Ang and I are planning to make something of ourselves!"

"What?"

Before Poison Ivy could respond to Harley Quinn's words, Li Ang hurriedly said, "Harley, that's impossible. I'm a good person."

"Oh, darling, are you really going to make me struggle on my own? Those vicious men won't cherish me the way you do."

Harley Quinn described her fate if she were captured in a pitiful tone.

Her imagination ran wild. "A beautiful woman like me definitely wouldn't have a single uninjured spot left if I fell into their hands..."

"Maybe they'd do that first, then that..."

"Harley."

Li Ang helplessly cut her off. "For Kara's sake, she needs a stable life."

Poison Ivy understood. Kara was his daughter.

She had thought Harley Quinn would fly into a rage.

After all, Harley Quinn was easily jealous, even when it came to a daughter.

But unexpectedly, Harley's maternal instincts immediately overflowed.

"You're right."

Harley Quinn bit her finger and began to think. "But if we don't make a name for ourselves, we'll be hunted down like before the moment we show up."

"Are we supposed to hide forever?"

Li Ang answered, "Then just make them too afraid to chase you. Beat the fear into them."

"That's it!"

Harley Quinn snapped her fingers and smiled. "Ivy has a way to help us!"

How could Li Ang not realize that Harley had set him up?

But Pamela said, "I never agreed to help you."

"Ivy, do you want to see me get captured?"

Harley Quinn was not worried in the slightest and immediately began pleading with Poison Ivy.

Sure enough, after hearing her out, Poison Ivy's heart softened.

"Do you remember the serum I gave you last time?"

Pamela asked.

"Of course. Is there a new one this time?"

Harley Quinn smiled. "After using the serum last time, my body felt amazing."

"That serum enhanced your strength and speed, and also gave you a degree of poison resistance. You can now resist most toxins."

Pamela explained, then glanced at Li Ang.

As if to say that they were not the same kind of people.

Li Ang suddenly understood.

No wonder Harley Quinn's physique did not seem ordinary. She had been enhanced.

As expected, the rich relied on technology, while the poor relied on mutation.

"What does this serum do?"

Harley Quinn immediately asked.

"Control. Anyone who absorbs the drug will fall under your control and act for you involuntarily, though there's a time limit."

"Wow, then Li Ang and I can play something different."

Harley Quinn's eyes lit up.

Poison Ivy: ...
