evening.

After parting ways with Luo You, Wei Tianci returned to the villa.

He sat lazily on the courtyard chair, pondering the two pieces of information provided by Luo You.

Suddenly, the An family father and daughter called, then quickly hung up. When Wei Tianci tried to call back, he couldn't get through.

However, Wei Tianci already understood that An Muyue must have been forced to attend the engagement banquet at the Dragon Manor.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for her to go overboard and say she was doing it voluntarily when she made the call.

In this way, Wei Tianci's disruption tomorrow will be even more justified.

"Of course, regardless of whether An Muyue is forced or not, she cannot get engaged to Long Zongheng, a complete stranger."

"If the female lead's body has lost its purity, then what's the point of my efforts?"

Wei Tianci muttered to himself, then dialed Luo You's number.

"Xiao You, can you help me investigate Long Zongheng's connections in Zhonghai?"

"All relationships!"

Luo You readily agreed and then got to work.

Wei Tianci then showed a thoughtful expression.

"The system previously mentioned that if I manage to protect An Muyue, there will be a surprise reward. I wonder what that surprise is..."

{Ding, host, a new mission has been issued.}

Your next task is to advance the storyline of Leng Ruolian's advancement to the late Golden Core stage.

{Good luck.}

A sudden system voice entered Wei Tianci's mind.

Wei Tianci looked displeased: "Can we change the mission? I won't proceed with this one."

He has no masochistic tendencies.

To push that poisonous woman Leng Ruolian to advance in rank, and then continue killing him? Ha!

However, Wei Tianci's questions received no response.

The system has disappeared; it's pretending to be dead.

It seemed to realize that this mission had a serious flaw.

Wei Tianci then recalled the original plot with a serious expression.

After Dragon Emperor Ye Fan and Empress Leng formed an alliance, he gave Leng Ruolian cultivation resources to please her.

Then, Leng Ruolian used these resources to advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

But now this plot mission has fallen on my shoulders?

Wei Tianci's expression was very unpleasant.

If it were any other woman, he could take on a similar situation.

Just like how he helped Lisa find the cultural relics and get promoted.

And help An Muyue obtain the formula at the auction.

However, the current situation is that he already knows that Leng Ruolian and Ye Fan are colluding together.

Furthermore, this wicked woman's approach to him was not for pure motives.

The last time she was at the hospital was probably the first time she attacked someone.

However, she was coincidentally drained of her internal energy, which interrupted her mission.

Given this context, Wei Tianci was already being lenient by not killing Leng Ruolian for the time being, considering she was the female lead.

Help her advance? That's a pipe dream!

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Tianci settled on the basic tone.

We can use Leng Ruolian in the future to teach her a lesson.

I won't help her with anything; she doesn't deserve it!

Suddenly.

The villa gate slowly opened, and Leng Ruolian, dressed in a red dress and with white hair, gracefully entered the courtyard.

Wei Tianci frowned as he looked on.

This is truly a case of thinking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appearing.

Leng Ruolian narrowed her eyes after hearing the inner voice.

Wei Tianci indeed harbored ill intentions towards him.

He was actually secretly thinking about me? Disgusting!

Leng Ruolian then spoke calmly: "Wei Tianci, I have found the three-thousand-year-old ginseng."

"I have found both of the main ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Pill."

What additional materials do we need to collect now?

Wei Tianci suddenly stood up: "Where is it? Let me see!"

[As expected of the Cold Queen, her efficiency is quite high.]

Although I missed out on the ginseng from the Global Cruises, it didn't affect my material gathering speed.

Wei Tianci plotted to trick the ginseng into giving him a longevity elixir.

Leng Ruolian said calmly, "No rush, I'll give it to you all at once once I have all the materials."

She's not stupid.

The reason I gave Wei Tianci the Soul-Stabilizing Grass before was because I had no use for the main herb.

If the other main herb is easily taken out now, the variables will be huge.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tianci's lips twitched. Although this woman was cold and taciturn, she was quite cunning.

He then smiled insincerely and said, "Ruolian, I was just about to have a late-night snack, want to come together?"

Wei Tianci planned to take a roundabout approach, first bombarding the enemy with sweet words, and then slowly taking advantage of them.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruolian raised her eyebrows and said, "Are we that close? You should call me by my full name."

This guy is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing; he's really after women. What audacity!

Upon hearing this, Wei Tianci chuckled and said, "Ruolian, you're being too polite."

"If we're not familiar with each other, who is?"

"You'd just casually give away your precious internal energy?"

"Do you think I, Wei Tianci, would casually give away gifts worth billions?"

"Although feelings cannot be measured by value, our feelings are truly of high value!"

Leng Ruolian was taken aback, and was indeed somewhat constrained.

She was reluctant to give away the internal energy she had painstakingly cultivated; the last time was an accident.

Wei Tianci's act of repaying favors at the auction was also incredibly generous.

Even if she has no concept of money after she's gone cold, she still knows that 10 billion is not a small amount.

In a daze, Leng Ruolian was actually invited by Wei Tianci to sit down at the dining table.

Wei Tianci then went into the kitchen and busied himself with clattering and clanging.

When he brought several plates to the restaurant, Leng Ruolian was stunned.

All three vegetarian dishes were her favorites.

Celery and lily bulbs, braised four treasures, and tomato cauliflower are all delicious and visually appealing.

Even the only meat dish, the tomahawk steak, was the only meat she loved to eat.

This meal was practically tailor-made for us.

Wei Tianci handed her the chopsticks: "Eat up, don't just stand there."

Leng Ruolian took the chopsticks, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly remembered that Wei Tianci was a prophetic being, and his inner voice had previously revealed clues to him.

'He even remembers what I like to eat?'

This detail touched Leng Ruolian slightly.

She has always been a loner since she was a child.

The days when I was fed without being asked to eat went back to before I was three years old.

She lowered her eyelids and said, "Wei Tianci, all the dishes you made are my favorites."

Wei Tianci chuckled: "Then you eat more, and I'll eat too."

He used serving chopsticks to put a piece of food between them.

Of course it suits your taste! I made it exactly to your liking.

However, I'm in a worse situation; I'm a carnivore, okay?

I have no choice but to compromise today.

He ate the vegetarian braised four treasures with a bland taste.

[These are just button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated winter bamboo shoots, and fresh baby corn, yet they call them the Four Treasures? Seriously.]

I'll just order takeout after midnight; entertaining guests is really unpleasant.

Wei Tianci ate while complaining.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to trick Leng Hou into giving him the ginseng, he really wouldn't have been interested in playing along with her.

However, Leng Ruolian's eyelashes trembled as she stared at Wei Tianci after hearing his thoughts.
