While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

"You bastard! You're the one who's brainless! You're a bastard, a bastard, a bastard!"

Upon learning the truth, Jin Lingzhi was furious, her cheeks and buttocks burning with pain.

That was out of shame.

She never expected that the guy, who looked lecherous, would actually be so cunning.

[Great, Yuan Suiyun beat me to it; this little chili pepper is mine now.]

However, I just managed to calm Feifei down. It would be really inappropriate for me to make advances on another girl in front of her in room 307.

Feifei will be sad.

Just when I was thinking of putting the Golden Lingzhi aside for now, Feifei surprisingly suggested that we bring it to Mantuo Manor as well!

This kind of good thing doesn't have any "no-no" clauses at all!

So I agreed on the spot, to allow their sisterly bond to blossom.

[But then again, why do I feel like Feifei can tell I'm after the Golden Ganoderma?]

[If that's the case, why isn't she jealous and trying to stop me? Instead, it seems like she's deliberately creating opportunities for me.]

Yes! Why?

Jin Lingzhi also wanted to know the answer to this question.

In her original plan, she was to leave after meeting Jiang Sishui and had no intention of going to Mantuo Villa at all.

Bai Feifei's actions were completely outside the plan the two had agreed upon, and her actions left Jin Lingzhi completely bewildered.

Since Bai Feifei could see through Jiang Sishui's intentions, why did she still bring her to Mantuo Villa? Wasn't she just creating another rival for herself?

Jin Lingzhi couldn't understand, so she asked again.

This time, Bai Feifei didn't remain silent. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "That's because when he was holding me and making a vow to me, I suddenly realized something."

"what?"

"Not competing is the greatest competition."

133. Beautiful flowers blooming on piles of bones

"Not competing is the greatest competition..."

Jin Lingzhi was taken aback. After chewing it carefully, a look of understanding appeared in her eyes, and all her doubts were resolved.

She gave Bai Feifei a deep look, a slight smirk playing on her lips: "You're quite the good wife, helping your husband philander."

Bai Feifei smiled slightly: "Since I can't stop him, why should I cause more trouble? Isn't it a better choice to let him remember my kindness forever?"

Jin Lingzhi: "..."

Bai Feifei's straightforward answer left her stumped.

However, upon closer examination, Bai Feifei's actions, though seemingly inexplicable at first glance, actually have their own logic.

After all, she had an advantage that no one else had—

Jiang Sishui's first woman!

This undoubtedly puts everyone one step ahead.

It can be said that as long as she doesn't commit some irreparable and monstrous mistake later on, her position in Jiang Sishui's heart will be unshakable.

"So you dragged me into this just to please him?!"

The thought of this made Jin Lingzhi furious; she felt betrayed.

Bai Feifei turned to look at the sulking Jin Lingzhi and laughed, "Isn't it good to follow Brother Jiang?"

Jin Lingzhi scoffed lightly and replied without hesitation, "What's so good about following him? Is it that you can compete with a bunch of women for his attention?"

Bai Feifei's gaze was unfocused as she softly said, "Following him, you don't have to worry about entrusting yourself to the wrong person, being abandoned, or being used."

"Following him, you won't be forced to do things you don't like, and you won't be bullied."

"Following him, one can remain young forever, and may even have the chance to live forever or ascend to immortality."

"Aren't these the benefits of following him enough?"

Jin Lingzhi was speechless.

After a long silence, she said, "Is this why you offered yourself to him in the first place?"

Bai Feifei nodded slightly: "When everyone else was hesitating and watching, I made my choice first, which is why I became the first one."

"These are all about interests."

"Yes."

"Then do you love him?"

"When are you talking about?"

"Before, now."

“I did want to take advantage of him before, but I gradually realized that if I just played along, it would eventually become real.”

"But he loved many women."

"What can I do? If I could, I would of course wish he loved only me. But obviously, I can't do that."

Jin Lingzhi fell silent again.

Bai Feifei suddenly smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

"I think you can't escape his grasp."

"You...you...how dare you say that! If it weren't for you...I'd be furious!"

Jin Lingzhi was a little frantic.

In fact, after learning the truth about the "Bat Prince" and hearing Bai Feifei's words, her aversion to Jiang Sishui was not so strong.

However, she was strong-willed by nature and would not yield to force. The thought that she had been forcibly abducted by the two of them made her furious.

"You think you can win me over so easily? I'm going to do the opposite!"

Jin Lingzhi, driven by a rebellious streak, decided to defy Jiang Sishui.

She didn't want to learn Bai Feifei's ways, and with her fiery temper, she couldn't learn them either.

She felt that would be too unfair to herself!

Forget it, why think so much? Let's eat the good stuff first, and talk about the rest later.

So, without giving Jin Lingzhi a chance to object, I simply took her away.

The guards at Wanfu Wanshou Garden tried to give chase, but I used the "Water Control Bead" to manipulate the flow of Taihu Lake, sending them and their boat soaring dozens of feet into the air. I doubt they'll ever be able to recover from that fright.

"Water control beads? I see, it seems to be a new reward from the system."

Bai Feifei and Jin Lingzhi suddenly realized.

During the day, Huang Rong and the other four women also witnessed that scene from afar, and were equally shocked.

However, there were many people around at the time, and since Jiang Sishui didn't explain, none of them asked.

Only now do they know the truth.

As for the "water-controlling bead," its function is pretty much self-evident from its name.

After introducing Feifei and Rong'er, they finally arrived at Mantuo Manor.

Mantuo Mountain Villa is beautiful; the people are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful.

However, beneath this beautiful facade lay countless corpses.

[Because Li Qingluo, the owner of Mantuo Manor, is a true femme fatale.]

"A femme fatale!"

Wang Yuyan was shocked, never expecting Jiang Sishui to make such a comment about her mother.

However, she then fell silent again.

Because she recalled Li Qingluo's past actions, she vaguely understood why Jiang Sishui would say that.

In the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Li Qingluo met Duan Zhengchun in her youth and was captivated by this charming prince.

At first, Li Qingluo didn't know that Duan Zhengchun was a married man; she only learned the truth after she gave herself to him.

Li Qingluo was furious and ordered Duan Zhengchun to divorce his wife and then marry her.

However, Duan Zhengchun dared not accept the offer and refused.

Because Duan Zhengchun's legal wife, Dao Baifeng, was the daughter of a local Baiyi chieftain in the Dali Kingdom, their marriage was a political one, and therefore highly intertwined.

[When Li Qingluo saw that he refused, she left in anger and married into the Wang family while pregnant with her daughter Yuyan. Later, she became the mistress of Mantuo Manor.]

Because of past heartbreak, Li Qingluo's personality became cruel and extreme.

She herself had been the other woman in someone else's marriage, so ever since then, whenever she caught a married man having an affair, she would kidnap him and give him two choices—

[Either he goes to his death, or he goes home, kills his wife, and then, after all the formalities, marries the woman from outside the marriage.]
