Was she more angry with Han Lie or Pan Ge? Definitely Pan. After all, that scoundrel had just spent so much money on her, and it was all perfectly to her liking.
"So what now?"
Xi Luting cast a sidelong glance at the scoundrel, giving him a chance to speak.
Brother Lie was overjoyed. As long as she was willing to listen, that was enough!
Instigation and deception kicked into high gear, and a rotten idea imdiately ca to him.
"Right now, she’s getting a bit too cocky, not taking you seriously at all. That expression just now, TSK TSK, it’s as if she’s got you wrapped around her finger. Even I, the beneficiary, am feeling pissed off just by seeing it."
Han Lie cleverly implicated himself as well, instantly fostering a sense of shared indignation.
Observing Xi Luting’s expression, Brother Lie continued to embellish the story.
"We can’t go on like this; we must teach her a profound lesson. Otherwise, she’ll keep getting more and more audacious."
Xi Luting gritted her teeth fiercely. "What do you suggest we do?"
"Here’s the plan. Tonight, we’ll coax her to the hotel. Then you can interact with her more. Finally, pretend to be so carried away you forget yourself, and use all the tricks you used on Fang Feifei on her—like this, and that..."
Xi Luting’s ears turned bright red, yet she didn’t explode imdiately.
What did that an? HEH HEH HEH...
Brother Lie continued with his sweet talk, "I’ll coordinate with you then. Together, we’ll give her an unforgettable lesson, letting her know that once she’s in bed, she’s still just that slutty pushover she always was. She shouldn’t take herself so seriously..."
Xi Luting’s eyes suddenly sparkled.
She had to admit, the little toy that Ham Brother previously gifted had played a decisive role in shaping her interests.
Not only did she not dislike it, but she was also a tad extra interested.
So, even though she knew full well this scoundrel was up to no good, the most shaless bastard of them all, she was still tempted.
Pan Ge, that bitch! She’s clearly trying to bury with money, wanting to turn into a re tool. Fine, I’m no match for you in wealth. Or in talking, scheming, or playing mind gas. But... I excel at... playing rough! If you dare give a chance, and I don’t COUGH COUGH COUGH you into submission, then all my experience writing those porn stories will have been for nothing!
Xi Luting sent Han Lie a deep look, neither consenting nor objecting, then without saying a word, scanned Han Lie’s abdon.
She pursed her lips with a hint of mockery.
Damn it! Brother Lie exploded.
What kind of look is that? Do you really need to get rough before you understand?
Brother Lie decisively opened the system panel to check his attributes and experience points.
He had just spent 450,000 on Xi Luting, smoothly reaping a full 900,000 experience points.
If he added the upcoming 2.88 million × 2—a total of 5.76 million in experience—his total experience would amount to a whopping 6.92 million.
It was 200,000 EXP per attribute point, so he could add a full 34 points.
Brother Lie didn’t hesitate to add another 2 points to ’Special,’ bringing it to 79 points, achieving maximum excellence.
Then he pointed at Xi Luting, jabbing his fingers twice. "You just wait!"
Xi Luting tilted up the corners of her mouth in response.
Good for you! Now no one can save you! I decree it!
By the ti Pan Ge returned, the two had resud their normal state, not revealing any flaws.
Damn, this is like a modern-day Romance of the Three Kingdoms—everyone scheming against each other, then occasionally forming alliances... Thrilling!
「Next, they went to dine at Utsusemi, and nothing unexpected occurred.」
Utsusemi, as the Magic Capital’s oldest kaiseki restaurant, had always maintained its high standards. Even over a decade later, it would remain a must-visit destination for young influencers and foodies.
In his past life, Han Lie had never been to Utsusemi, but he had freeloaded als at Sushi Ichi. The vibe seed pretty similar—both emphasizing a full ceremonial experience with ticulously prepared and presented dishes, yet the kind of al that always left n feeling hungry.
Xi Luting, however, was quite happy, her mood visibly improved, laughing and joking with Pan Ge as usual.
They directly ordered the winter-thed set nu, four portions.
Then Xi Luting happily snapped photos, including so with Pan Ge.
Pan Ge was very lively too, continuously handing out complints.
"Mmm, this is tasty, Ting, hurry and have a taste!"
"The lobster is so-so, but it gets quite a kick with wasabi."
"The tempura is fried just right, 9 out of 10!"
"Right? I like it a lot too!"
TSK TSK. If you said they were actual sisters, people would definitely believe it...
Halfway through the al, the chef arrived. As soon as he entered, he dropped to his knees with a sharp movent, startling Xi Luting.
"Oh, is that really necessary? I’m truly..."
She was utterly speechless.
Pan Ge, used to such sights, complinted the dishes, which sent the chef away happy as a lark.
When it ca ti to pay the bill, Xi Luting was again astonished by the amount.
They spent over 13,000 yuan, and she and Pan Ge had only eaten to about 80% fullness, while Han Lie himself had downed two portions and wasn’t even 70% full.
"You two lead a life that is... terrifying."
She avoided using the term ’luxurious,’ which made her comnt seem particularly genuine.
So Pan Ge laughed and said, "This will also be your future life. Better get used to it quickly!"
Xi Luting pursed her lips and didn’t respond, but once again gave Han Lie a deep look.
Han Lie failed to grasp the aning behind that look.
But then, she nodded slightly, and Brother Lie understood.
Xi Luting had agreed to teach Pan Ge a lesson tonight; she had made up her mind.
The reason was clear: Pan Ge’s blatant intention to drag Xi Luting down into her world. If one truly grew accustod to such a luxurious lifestyle but lacked the personal ans to sustain it, the outco would inevitably be tragic.
