The two icy beauties, who were innocently caught in the crossfire, frowned at the same time.
"Two?" Black Lily turned her head away coldly, while White Queen looked towards the sea and elegantly brushed away non-existent grains of sand from her skirt...
Chunli's face was ashen beneath the talisman, and her knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.
This crazy woman is really going to drag everyone down with her to the brink of destruction!
"Wait!" Helena suddenly stepped forward, her long golden hair flying in the sea breeze. "I am the CEO of 'Golden Beach'! I must set the date for the betting!"
"Of course, but no later than six o'clock the day after tomorrow~" Han Zhuli saw right through her thoughts, "Don't even think about delaying indefinitely, my dear boss~"
“Then tomorrow night!” Helena secured the most time for herself.
"Alright! The bet is settled! Hahahahahahahaha!" The wicked woman Han Zhuli, exuding a maniacal charm, laughed wildly again.
In an instant, the world changed color. The once azure sky was tinged with a strange peach-pink hue, and the sound of the waves was mixed with a faint, seductive melody. A golden light shot into the sky from the chips in her hand, outlining the emblem of the god of pleasure in the clouds.
"Those who break their promise will suffer the curse of 'Pleasure' for eternity!" Han Zhuli's figure gradually blurred in the distorted light, only her manic voice clearly rang out: "Tomorrow night, the construction site of the 'Golden Beach' East Continent cooperation project—we await your arrival!"
As she disappeared below the horizon, the strange phenomenon slowly faded. The White Queen, Chun-Li, Black Lily, and Helena exchanged bewildered glances, their faces etched with solemnity and anger.
"This is a huge problem..." Helena rubbed her aching temples. "A bet intervened in by the power of divine rules, even for the chosen one..."
Li Pu was somewhat bewildered for a moment.
He stared at the system panel, visible only to him, which clearly displayed a forgotten blessing:
[Blessing from the God of Pleasure: You will receive extra "luck" in all matters related to pleasure.]
You mean the betting scheme orchestrated by the 'Pleasure' seal artifact?
And then there's me, the participant...
Is it a blessing personally bestowed by the God of 'Joy'?
This looks like... something we can pull off!
Leave of absence: Requesting leave for one day on September 25th.
Please ask for leave as stated in the title, mwah~
Chapter 179 Goddess of the 3D Zone? Gambler of the 3D Zone!
Han Zhuli's figure disappeared on the horizon, and the beach fell into a heavy silence.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows on everyone, but there was no longer any sense of leisure or comfort.
This time, the entire firm was drawn into Han Zhuli's gamble.
The entire army was wiped out...
"Let's go back first," Chunli, the mature woman, took a deep breath and broke the silence first.
She reached out and gently peeled off the sweat-dampened talisman from her forehead, revealing a face flushed with anger. As she moved, the high-slit hem of her cheongsam swayed, revealing glimpses of her fair thigh in the twilight.
"Emma and I will figure something out, don't be afraid, kids."
With her mature and reliable aura fully unleashed, she took the lead in calming her four little ones, especially her beloved little apprentice.
But the four little ones in the family didn't seem as nervous or scared as she had thought...
Eve still wore that delicate, pretty face, her expression both serious and adorable. She was like that all day long, like a high-quality doll...
As for Alice and Tifa... they seem to have moved past their initial fear... and become... eager gamblers?
At this moment, Alice was sitting on the sand in a duck-like posture, carefully counting her "possessions" on her fingers:
"A teddy bear to sleep with, three dresses, this swimsuit I'm wearing, a blanket, a toiletries set, a pink washbasin, a pot of mint and a pot of lilies on the windowsill..."
She muttered to herself, then suddenly turned to glance at the handsome young man beside her, and added confidently:
"Yes, he's mine too."
"Why are you staring at me?" Li Pu felt uneasy under the little devil's gaze.
"I'm calculating when to sell you so I can raise money and run away! My darling~" Alice grinned, revealing her little tiger teeth, and whispered in his ear, her warm breath tickling his earlobe.
"..."
"Just kidding!" She suddenly smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. "If I win, you'll have to be my personal follower from now on—obediently follow me to save the world, and you can't go west when I point east!"
She wagged her index finger smugly: "Although this goddess is still recovering, I can still barely manage to protect both of us within the power of the 'Pleasure' rules~"
"So, losing to me is a sure-fire way to make money!"
She gently poked Li Pu's chest with her fingertip: "Think it over carefully, my little chosen one~"
After saying that, she skipped and hopped over to Chunli, the "patriarch," and gave her a sweet, affectionate look before fluttering away towards the hotel like a butterfly.
"..."
Li Pu watched the little devil's retreating figure, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Is this "after-sales customer goddess" taking advantage of my misfortune?
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed another gaze fixed on him with a half-smile.
He turned his head and saw Tifa with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.
"Tifa..."
He had a feeling that Tifa's eyes were... somewhat similar to Alice's just now...
At this moment, the sea breeze caressed Tifa's azure hair, and her usually gentle eyes now shone with a rare slyness.
A rare, disdainful expression appeared on Jerusalem's face:
"Someone—" she drawled, tapping her chin lightly with her fingertip, "as soon as we met, he ordered others to cut up a lady's clothes, take off a lady's stockings, greet a lady on QQ, and even played pranks on a lady's butt in his dreams..."
She suddenly took a half-step closer, her swimsuit strap slipping down slightly with the movement, her honey-like lips curving into a dangerous smile:
"They haven't even offered an apology yet."
Li Pu's ears burned from her sudden approach, and he subconsciously took a half step back.
She's still holding a grudge?!
Taurus woman, that's enough!
Weren't you just showing us the game so openly?
How could you turn your back on us so quickly?!
Tifa chuckled at the boy's reaction, reaching out to gently brush the talisman from his forehead. Her fingertips lightly brushed against Lip's cheek, her movements as tender as if she were caring for a child, but her words sent a chill down Lip's spine:
"So I was thinking—" her earring swayed gently as she tilted her head, "how am I going to make you pay back your debt after you lose to me at the gambling table, you little rascal?"
Tifa's smile grew increasingly wicked...
She had meticulously planned the "hand-stirred lemon tea" that corresponded to the "greeting on QQ Space"!
He even had a "rehearsal" with this little rascal in his dream beforehand.
Before, I had to wait for him to be alone, but this time... I can finally take care of this little thing openly!
Thinking of this, Tifa hummed softly, turned around and walked towards Chun-Li in a good mood, whispered a few intimate words in the ear of this "patriarch", and even helped her tidy the hair at her temples that had been ruffled by the sea breeze.
Before leaving, she turned back and winked at Li Pu, then walked briskly toward the hotel.
Watching Alice and Tifa's departing figures, Lip felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him.
These two clowns didn't take the dangers of the "pleasure" betting game to heart at all—
One or two of them were already thinking about how to torment him...
These two girls only see the glory of the winners, but they can't see the price the losers have to pay.
But what casino offers a sure-fire way to make money?
You're eyeing that small profit, but they're eyeing your entire fortune and your life!
Li Pu sighed, fearing that before the gamble even began, he would already be half-dead from being ruined by these two incompetent teammates.
Just as I was feeling mentally exhausted, a familiar, light fragrance suddenly approached.
Chunli had walked up to his side without him noticing. Her eyes, visible beneath the talisman, showed signs of fatigue, but she still reached out to tidy his messy hair.
She had just finished comforting the other three children, and now her hair was a little loose, with a few strands of sweaty black hair sticking to the side of her neck.
Perhaps because she had been squatting for a long time, the hem of her cheongsam rolled up slightly when she stood up, revealing a faint indentation on her plump thigh.
To be honest, Chunli's maternal and wifely demeanor unconsciously stirred up thoughts of "Cao Cao" in Li Pu's mind.
"Don't be afraid, my disciple." Chunli's voice suddenly softened, her fingertips gently stroking the stray hairs on his forehead. "Actually, my disciple... you can... lose to your master."
As she finished speaking, the sea breeze brushed past her sweat-dampened temples, making her mature and sweet fragrance even stronger.
Li Pu was taken aback when he heard this.
Only then did I realize that Chun-Li's eyes were exactly the same as Tifa's and Alice's earlier, all harboring some kind of burning ambition.
You thirsty old auntie!
So he also uses his own apprentice as a prize!
An unnatural flush rose to her cheeks, and her breathing became slightly rapid: "Master promises... he will never treat you like a little slave..."
“From now on, you will call me master, and I will call you disciple. We will each have our own roles.”
"..."
"Master, let's go back first..."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Eve coldly replied to the "sexually apathetic" Marica on the communication channel:
"The mission details are understood: win over the young crown prince and trade him to you as a slave..."
……
Not far away, Black Lily stood with her arms crossed, coldly watching Li Pu and Chun Li's receding figures, a hint of impatience flashing in her purple eyes.
"As expected, it's that kid again... There's no peace wherever he is."
She was frowning inwardly when a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Do you... know that corpse-driving child?"
The woman who had been following him all this way while pretending to be stupid finally spoke.
Black Lily slowly turned around, her gaze scrutinizing the tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman before her—the White Queen.
The other person was wearing an elegantly tailored but surprisingly "conservative" two-layered maternity swimsuit. The loose pleated design at the waist and abdomen cleverly concealed her true curves, making it impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
That kid's current guardian... a fifth-order 'Law' chosen one...
She recognized the White Queen, but the White Queen did not recognize her.
And ever since the mind-reading ability failed on this person, the White Queen was almost certain:
The tall, purple-skinned woman before him was, like himself, a 'witch from another world'.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
Black Lily merely withdrew her gaze indifferently, a barely perceptible cold smile playing on her lips, and strode towards the hotel—since she was already involved in this gamble, she might as well start calculating in her mind:
Everything and property of the rest of you is fine.
Only that brat, the little slut who humiliated her at the hotel!
I'm going to win that kid over and get my revenge! I'll train him into my own lowly slave!
As for her "good sister" Ada Wong?
Let her be envious~
Black Lily walked away aloofly, but the White Queen remained calm and composed, maintaining a perfectly respectful distance as she followed.
As for this unexpected bet, she was not in a hurry at all; on the contrary, she felt a little excited. Once she got back, she only needed to coax him a little and make him willingly lose to her. Then, with the help of the power of the god of pleasure, she could possess him forever!
Even if her darling disagrees, she is absolutely confident that she can beat him at the gambling table.
The thrill of betting your loved one and everything you have on this gamble is terrifying.
She almost wanted to praise Han Zhuli as a genius...
