The venue here was not only spacious but also exuded an extremely high-end atmosphere.
Many guests held wine glasses, engaging in sophisticated conversation.
Those attending this dinner party were either wealthy or noble; even those usually high-and-mighty tycoons would choose to attend such gatherings.
Having money was one aspect.
Socializing in these circles was another.
When assets reach a certain level,
Money alone can't solve everything.
The focus needs to be on networking.
After all, the money you offer might be refused,
But when it comes to connections and relationships,
Even if you offer no benefits,
Just a word from the right person can open all doors.
When your influence reaches a certain height,
You don't need to go around greeting others.
Instead, people come rushing to greet you,
Eager to establish connections.
This was precisely the situation with Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Even though they tried to maintain a low profile
By choosing a secluded seat,
They were still recognized by others.
It's hard for such an attractive couple to go unnoticed!
After turning away yet another wave of people,
Xu Mo sat in his chair, wearing an unapproachable expression.
It wasn't that he was arrogant,
Nor was he unfriendly,
He was just exhausted.
Line up and come one by one?
Enough already.
Just go home, everyone, just go home.
"Some notable heirs from the Capital City have come, and you're not even bothering to acknowledge them. They have business dealings with our family, you know~" Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
In truth, she didn't care about these things.
She was just trying to find topics to pass the time with Xu Mo.
"You know I don't care about such things."
Xu Mo shook his head.
Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes and counted on her fingers as she asked, "What about those young ladies who came to greet you? The ladies from the Capital City are so fresh and lovely, even I'm a bit envious."
You? Envious???
You're the female lead among the antagonists!
You're worlds apart.
Put you next to them,
They'd be the ones feeling inadequate.
Xu Mo knew the demoness was joking, but instead of exposing it, he teased her back.
"Would you be jealous if I pursued them?"
"Go ahead! Don't just talk about it, do it. The more the merrier."
Zhou Qiaoqiao said meaningfully, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Xu Mo rubbed his nose - don't stir up trouble, demoness!
I know I'm quite--------
Never mind, let's not mention it, it's unlucky.
"It's not that I don't want to pursue more, I'm just afraid you might change your mind and turn on me,"
Xu Mo said after some thought.
Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head, looking straight into his eyes with utmost sincerity.
"I couldn't be happier about it."
"As for why, don't you know in your heart?"
Towards the end,
The demoness's tone became quite plaintive.
As the person involved, Xu Mo
Couldn't help but understand her implications.
Xu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This time he had no way to argue back.
He had always wanted to be a faithful man,
Both in body and mind.
But that darned system wouldn't let him be!!!
It kept stacking buffs on him.
Until finally,
Xu Mo found himself invincible.
If it wasn't nerfed,
He might just take off into the sky.
Xu Mo picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine,
Trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Big Brother Xu!!!! It really is you!!!"
A familiar, slightly effeminate voice rang out.
Xu Mo knew immediately it was the old trainee.
He would recognize that voice
Even if it were turned to ashes.
Xu Mo's brow had started to furrow,
But upon hearing this voice,
His furrowed brow relaxed.
"Xiaoyi, you've been doing well these days!!!"
Xu Mo smiled.
"No, no, not at all." Tao Xiaoyi chuckled, and just as he was about to greet the woman beside Xu Mo,
He realized it wasn't Shen Manni.
His expression froze for a moment.
Xu Mo raised his hand and coughed twice.
"This is your sister-in-law!! Quick, greet her!"
Tao Xiaoyi came to his senses.
He quickly nodded and smiled at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"Hello, sister-in-law, hello."
Last time at the bar,
The sister-in-law seemed to be Shen Manni.
This time the sister-in-law had changed,
And she was even an heiress of one of the four great families.
Tao Xiaoyi had indeed been living quite freely these days.
And quite comfortably too.
He did nothing but good things,
Though not to the extent of murder or arson.
At most, he just satisfied his personal desires.
He wasn't stealing or robbing.
What's wrong with living off his parents?
What's wrong with being born into a good family?
Is that against the law?
"Hello."
Zhou Qiaoqiao replied with a dignified and graceful smile, maintaining politeness.
Tao Xiaoyi didn't dare to look too long.
People from the four great families
Were all formidable characters.
He couldn't stay away fast enough.
Let alone touch them.
Take someone like Han Zhiqi, for instance.
Tao Xiaoyi felt that even if he were tied up like a dumpling and thrown into the river to feed the fish,
His own father wouldn't just not avenge him,
He'd probably applaud in front of the Han Family!
'Well done! I've long been irritated by this brat, the Han Family has done a public service today!'
Just thinking about it gave Tao Xiaoyi goosebumps.
"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, where's Little Shi? I don't see her anywhere?"
A clear, melodious voice like a skylark rang out.
"She should be here soon. Little Feng, you've grown even prettier lately."
Xu Mo smiled, not forgetting to give a compliment.
While Tao Xiaofeng's looks couldn't compete with the female protagonists,
She couldn't match the extraordinary ones,
But among the pleasantly beautiful women,
Tao Xiaofeng could definitely rank among them.
Hearing Xu Mo's praise,
A smile appeared on Tao Xiaofeng's face, revealing shallow dimples on both cheeks.
"Hehe-------- Brother Mo, you're not bad yourself-------------eh eh eh you you----"
After getting a clear look at Xu Mo's face,
Tao Xiaofeng began to stutter.
The little girl's small head was filled with big questions.
The last time she saw Xu Mo at a party,
Was her Brother Mo this handsome?
It didn't seem so.
Did he go get plastic surgery?
Or was there something wrong with how she was looking at him?
Was she seeing things wrong?
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
