Soon, the sound of rushing water filled the bathroom.
Ahri took off her clothes and stood expressionlessly under the spraying warm water.
The air was thick with moisture.
She obtained the Pangu inheritance from Xiao Jin.
She also went back to see her seed, which had grown tall and leafy, forming a large, round little world.
The countdown progress bar above has reached 80%, and it will be successful soon.
She didn't stay in her own little world, waiting for it to be released, because she still needed to get the protagonist's halo.
The protagonist's halo in this world seems to favor those who dare to break the rules.
They may not have exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, but their eyes always burn with an untamed flame.
While everyone else was still following the rules, they had already stepped barefoot onto a new, thorny path, their skirts covered in mud, yet their smiles were triumphant.
Their stories contain no glass slippers or magic, only the ruthless force of crushing shards of glass into tiny pieces.
They turned what the world saw as a disadvantage into a medal, like camel thorns in the desert, blooming bright red flowers the driest it gets.
However, the protagonist's halo in this world almost went out.
Because the female protagonist was given to a powerful figure by her own father.
The powerful figure imprisoned her, broke her wings, and invisibly cut off the path she was about to take, leaving her like a puppet, trapped in a small room.
Ahri's mission is to protect the female lead, save her, keep her away from the powerful figures, and make her halo shine even brighter.
The sound of water stopped.
Ahri changed into the black shirt, opened the bathroom door, and went out.
Sheng Wuji was still in the room. There was a hairdryer and a towel next to him. He looked at Ah Li.
"Mr. Sheng, are you going to blow-dry my hair?" Ah Li walked towards him happily.
The extreme white and black drew ever closer, causing Sheng Wuji's vision to darken momentarily, before shifting and dodging.
Ah Li took the towel from next to Sheng Wuji and laid it on his lap. Then she sat on the ground and rested her freshly washed hair against Sheng Wuji's lap.
A natural intimacy made Sheng Wuji freeze.
This was the first time he had been so close to a woman since that incident.
That incident... left him with a psychological trauma regarding women.
So, at a cocktail party...
Sheng Wuji was drugged. While he was sending someone to find a doctor, someone opened his door. It was a woman who wanted to get into his bed and become Mrs. Sheng.
Although the medicine was very potent, Sheng Wuji remained fully conscious.
He called the police, saying that someone broke into his room and tried to rape him.
That woman, who should have been fierce and eager to rise to power, was unbelievable and incomprehensible.
How could a man, a powerful and influential figure, call the police for something like this? Doesn't he care about his reputation at all?
Security personnel arrived at the party, and the police arrived shortly afterward.
Under the heavy protection of security personnel and police, Sheng Wuji was sent to the hospital.
Everyone at the party fell silent; no one dared to utter a word of gossip.
Big shots have their own rules and reasons for doing things.
That woman was sentenced for attempted burglary.
Sheng Wuji was implicated in the scheme and sentenced to several years in prison.
There were also the mastermind and accomplices who drugged Sheng Wuji. Sheng Wuji also called the police, and they were all arrested and sent to keep that woman company.
He is rich and a man, but he is not the domineering CEO in those novels; he will use the law to protect himself.
