Xia Zhiyun nearly laughed out loud when she heard her daughter's thoughts.

Her daughter's inner monologue was far too dramatic.

"Shengsheng was just having a normal conversation with a man. The Qing Dynasty fell ages ago. Don't be so old-fashioned," Xia Zhiyun said unhurriedly.

"What I mean is... it's unfair to Shengsheng's boyfriend." Gu Luoxi tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"That's called survival of the fittest. If Shengsheng can find someone better, we should be happy for her. Are you afraid your sister might be happy? Xixi, that's a very dangerous way to think." Xia Zhiyun's gaze sharpened.

Gu Luoxi took one look at her and was scared into silence.

Gu Luosheng giggled. "You're right, Mom."

"As it happens... I have someone I like to introduce to you, too..." Gu Luoxi had barely finished speaking when Ye Nanshen arrived.

Gu Luoxi stood up with a bashful look. "It's him."

Xia Zhiyun studied him carefully before commenting, "He looks presentable enough, but his taste leaves a lot to be desired."

He had actually fallen for Gu Luoxi.

"Sit wherever you like," Xia Zhiyun said coldly.

"Handsome~ come sit beside me," Gu Luoxi cooed.

But Ye Nanshen ignored her completely and walked straight to the opposite side. "This seat taken?"

"Huh?" Gu Luosheng looked up, making out Ye Nanshen's face in the firelight.

He was so handsome it was practically an outrage.

Once again, she lamented how unfair the heavens were.

"Mm..." She didn't dare say anything else.

"I'm Gu Luosheng's friend," Ye Nanshen volunteered.

After mentally going around in eighteen circles, Xia Zhiyun finally caught on.

So this man had come for Shengsheng.

She instantly beamed. "Good, good, good. I've just realized you have excellent taste."

Meanwhile, seeing the man sit across from her, Gu Luoxi pressed her lips together.

Then she reconsidered. Perhaps he wanted a better view of her.

With that thought, Gu Luoxi proudly raised her head again.

Men were all hers for the taking.

"Shengsheng, why didn't you invite your boyfriend? The one who dropped you off downstairs that day..." Gu Luoxi deliberately stirred up trouble.

Busy eating barbecue, Gu Luosheng gave a muffled reply. "He's not my boyfriend. Besides, he's busy."

He certainly was busy. He was sitting beside her right now, "keeping busy."

"What could a little thug possibly be busy with? You need to be more careful, Sis, or you won't even realize when a thug like that fools you... Still, since you've already gone that far, I suppose you'll have to settle."

Gu Luoxi spoke with feigned regret.

Hearing that, Ye Nanshen set down his chopsticks and asked with aristocratic composure, "How far?"

Gu Luoxi coughed. "You know, sleeping together."

Gu Luosheng nearly choked on her drink. "Gu Luoxi, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"It's not nonsense. Your clothes were so wrinkled that day, it was obvious you'd been forced into it. But you should reflect on your own part in it, too, Sis. Why were you the only one that thug took an interest in?"

With Ye Nanshen there, Gu Luoxi deliberately kept putting Gu Luosheng down.

Little did she know that Ye Nanshen's eyes were growing darker and darker.

She called him a thug in practically every sentence.

Wasn't she insulting him?

Gu Luosheng sneaked a glance at the demon king's expression and came up with an idea.

"I wasn't forced. You'd better stop making things up."

"So you did it willingly? I guess every pot has its lid..." Gu Luoxi covered her mouth and giggled.

"Sorry you had to witness this, handsome. My sister came back from the mountains and hasn't seen much of the world, so she falls for every man she meets. I'm nothing like her."

Afraid the man might misunderstand, Gu Luoxi hurried to explain.

Ye Nanshen scoffed. "Of course you're nothing like her. You think being ugly gives you free rein to run your mouth."

"I don't." Gu Luoxi hurriedly denied it.

Ye Nanshen raised an eyebrow. His expression remained calm, but the darkness in his eyes was terrifying.

Only Gu Luosheng knew this was a sign that the villain was about to lose his temper.

She swallowed. Is it too late to run?

Hmm... all the boats have left the island. Looks like it is.

"I'm the thug you keep talking about," Ye Nanshen clarified, enunciating every word.

Clatter.

Xia Zhiyun dropped her chopsticks.

She had imagined all sorts of twists, but never this one.

Now, Xia Zhiyun looked at Ye Nanshen with even greater delight, clearly sizing him up as her future son-in-law.

Her Shengsheng had such good taste.

Gu Luoxi was dumbfounded, too. "How... how is that possible?"

"My sister..." Gu Luoxi was too shocked to speak.

"You're quite good at twisting the truth," Ye Nanshen said sarcastically.

Gu Luosheng watched Gu Luoxi's little face turn white in an instant.

That felt good.

It really took Ye Nanshen stepping in himself.

Get her!

She could just sit back and enjoy the show.

"I didn't." Gu Luoxi bit her lower lip and shot Gu Luosheng an indignant look.

She hadn't expected Gu Luosheng to have a few tricks up her sleeve.

"There's nothing I hate more than being slandered," Ye Nanshen said, stressing each word.

Gu Luosheng could already feel the chill radiating from him. She quickly peeled a shrimp for him. "Try this. It's delicious."

Looking at Gu Luosheng's appeasing expression, Ye Nanshen actually felt some of his agitation ease.

She really was different.

"Yes, exactly. Don't be angry, young man. Some people aren't worth getting yourself worked up over. Have something to eat first."

Xia Zhiyun was one hundred percent satisfied with Ye Nanshen.

She had always loved a handsome face when she was young. Otherwise, she would never have fallen for Gu Jingsheng.

At her age, she was even more eager for her precious daughter to find a handsome man.

She absolutely couldn't let that disappointing daughter of hers, Gu Luoxi, scare him away.

Gu Luosheng remained on edge throughout, but fortunately, dinner was reasonably peaceful. Ye Nanshen didn't murder anyone.

After dinner, Ye Nanshen returned to his tent.

His tent was next to Gu Luoxi's.

He had barely sat down when he felt a faint headache.

He had drunk quite a bit that evening and was probably a little tipsy now.

Just then, Gu Luoxi came over wearing sexy pajamas.

"Handsome~ are you asleep?" Gu Luoxi asked in a trembling voice.

She had dressed like this on purpose. She refused to believe any man could resist.

At the sound of her voice, Ye Nanshen slowly narrowed his eyes and spat out one icy word. "Scram."

Just hearing a woman's voice made him feel sick now.

Gu Luoxi's face paled briefly, but she still shamelessly said, "My tent is full of bugs, and I'm scared to go inside. Could I rest in your tent for a little while, handsome?"

When Gu Luoxi heard no response, her face lit up.

She knew he was doing this on purpose.

He had probably been deliberately trying to make her feel threatened during dinner, too.

Since that was the case,

Gu Luoxi curled her lips into a smile and went straight inside.

[My host, stop sleeping. Ye Nanshen is about to get laid.]

Gu Luosheng was just drifting off when the system woke her.

[What's that got to do with me?]

Gu Luosheng rolled over, intending to go back to sleep.

[This is a great chance to watch some drama unfold. You can increase your luck points.]

Luck points? Not interested.

[Luck points can be converted into cash!]

[Where are they? I'll go watch right now. Holy shit! What did you just say? The villain is about to get laid?]
