Chapter 283 - 284: Sudden Upheaval

Chapter 283: Chapter 284: Sudden Upheaval

He didn’t expect that in just one or two months, he had gathered six of the seven rare main ingredients.

However, there was still no information about the final Bodhi Liuli Heart, and he didn’t know when it would appear. It seemed that he had to use his connections to find out information about it.

Suddenly, Lu Rugao sat directly on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Darling, which room are you going to tonight? You wouldn’t be tired of me so soon, would you? If you don’t spoil me a little, I’ll be bullied to death by the two sisters."

Her tone was coy, her hands playfully teasing Chen Xiao, her soft, curvaceous body pressing against his intentionally. Her gaze, full of provocation, looked towards Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing.

Since these two women wanted to play, she didn’t mind playing with them.

Lu Rugao wasn’t someone who liked being at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, she saw a hint of jealousy in Luo Qingli’s clear eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

But before she could enjoy her triumph for long, Chen Xiao slapped her rear firmly!

The force was great and heavy.

"Ah!"

Lu Rugao jumped up reflexively.

Her butt still hurt from before, and now with another slap, she couldn’t take it.

"Get lost with your act of affection here," Chen Xiao shrugged.

Lu Rugao suddenly willing to lower her stance to seduce him was merely to make the two women jealous.

How could he let fires start within the harem?

Moreover, he knew Lu Rugao’s tsundere nature very well.

If you showed weakness to her, she’d immediately turn around and ride on your head. The more you ignore her, the more unwilling she becomes, wanting to conquer you!

To gain an upper hand in this game with her, there could be no mercy.

Sure enough, anger flashed in Lu Rugao’s eyes as she sat down furiously to the side.

How embarrassing!

She had proactively put aside her pride to seduce Chen Xiao, only to be treated like this by him.

And it was right in front of Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing.

Zhang Yaqing laughed coyly, "Third sister, your beauty trap didn’t work."

Luo Qingli added with a hint of mockery, "She might not know, but our dear Lord Chen here never gets close to women, especially when he’s in saint mode."

Lu Rugao felt indignant inside. Did she really have no appeal to this beast, Chen Xiao?

How could he be so harsh to such a top-quality beauty like her?

She noticed how Chen Xiao was very doting towards Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing.

Why was he so heartless to her?

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became!

How was she any worse than these two women!?

The men she encountered before, let alone being seduced coquettishly like this, would be eager to serve her just by being given a slight smile.

Lu Rugao refused to believe it, looking pitifully at Chen Xiao, "You’re biased!"

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "Go ahead with your show."

"Forget it, I can’t keep up the act." Lu Rugao broke character first, coldly sneering in anger, "I hate you, this beast. I can’t pretend to have enduring feelings for you!"

"Between us, it’s just a transaction. Who will remember you when it’s over?"

"Your type will only be a stain in my life, Lu Rugao’s life!"

"And don’t think you’re that impressive."

"I just treated it like acupuncture, I genuinely felt nothing at all!"

Chen Xiao laughed playfully, "I like watching you go from stubborn to begging for mercy, and then calling out for thirst. By the way, remember to put in some effort tomorrow, or if the transaction doesn’t reach ten billion in a day, it will be voided."

If Lu Rugao were that docile, she wouldn’t be Lu Rugao, and it would lessen the thrill of conquest for him. Without her stubbornness, he’d find it less interesting.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you give in and voluntarily hand over ten billion! I hope you can hold out!" Lu Rugao stormed upstairs furiously.

Chen Xiao just smiled calmly, knowing Lu Rugao would eventually acquiesce.

Because she had no way out.

Plus, the sunk cost was too high; she couldn’t just give up now. So she would undoubtedly do as he said!

Thinking of noble Lu Rugao forced to wear a bunny girl or stewardess uniform to please him, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.

"They’re gone, yet you’re still looking."

Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt a pain in his ear as someone pinched it.

He glanced up, seeing Luo Qingli in front of him, her pretty face full of undisguised jealousy.

"Come up here with me!"

Luo Qingli bit her silver teeth, releasing his ear, and swayed her hips as she went up.

She now, after being nourished, had some added femininity to her aloof and detached aura, making her even more alluring and harder for a man to resist.

Chen Xiao had no choice but to obediently follow her.

Luo Qingli sat on the edge of the bed, her long legs crossed elegantly, appearing both graceful and sexy, naturally drawing the eye to the curves beneath her short skirt.

She let out a cold laugh, jeeringly, "With so many sisters now, are you still able to supply us with good ’food’?"

"Or should I just find someone else?"

"Give you less of a burden."

Even though Chen Xiao knew it was a provocation, as a man, he couldn’t bear it.

Luo Qingli might be underestimating his prowess too much?

The time had come to assert his dominance!

In the first round, Luo Qingli merely commented disdainfully, "It’s just acupuncture scratching an itch."

In the second round, Luo Qingli gritted her teeth, "That’s... that’s it?"

In the third round, Chen Xiao gave it his all, leaving Luo Qingli struggling under the burden.

At the start of the fourth round, Luo Qingli immediately surrendered, clinging to his neck while pleading, her eyes pitifully appealing, wanting to drag Zhang Yaqing into it.

"I understand your feelings, but I don’t approve," Chen Xiao said solemnly, looking smug, "Now, are you satisfied? I’m not yet."

The negotiation ended.

Luo Qingli’s pretty face was still flushed with satisfaction, her enchanting eyes seemingly able to spin a thread, clinging to the sheet wrapped tightly around her delicate body, keeping a distance from Chen Xiao.

She now had only one thought: find more people to share the responsibility.

Otherwise, she would soon be dehydrated to death.

"Tonight, go to Lu Rugao, don’t come bother me and Yaqing with our girl’s talk." She glared at Chen Xiao, "She should suffer a bit more, let’s see if she stays proud."

Chen Xiao’s lips curled up, "Weren’t you just jealous earlier? How come now you’re not?"

"Get out, get out!" Luo Qingli said disdainfully, "I’ll begrudgingly deem you qualified."

"Being begrudging isn’t good enough," Chen Xiao chuckled, grabbing her thigh, "How about I try harder for a perfect score?"

"No way, hurry and leave, let me enjoy my own beauty!" Luo Qingli retracted her leg in fright.

Chen Xiao chuckled contentedly, satisfied at heart.

Just then, his phone suddenly received a message.

He picked it up to read.

It was a message from Xu Yanran, with only a few words—

"Fragrant City, there’s a trap, don’t come!"

Those words made his pupils narrow, and his heart gave a sudden leap.

Previously, Xu Yanran had messaged him saying she was about to enter the auction.

But now something had suddenly happened?

He immediately called Xu Yanran’s phone, but couldn’t get through.

Leng Baiyu’s phone was also turned off!

Both were out of contact.

In an instant, his heart sank to the bottom.
