8 PM.

The nightlife is just beginning.

Men and women from Moon City gather at various bars, dancing wildly amidst the bright lights and loud music, releasing the various pressures of work.

A dimly lit environment with multicolored flashes of light.

Under the filter that obscures the view, even a dog can be seen clearly. If a man and woman in the dance floor make eye contact, an extra private toilet stall will be opened, and more strange noises will be heard.

Ritz Bar.

"I want more alcohol... I want to drink more..."

At the bar counter, a woman dressed in a white dress with a cool and aloof demeanor kept ordering drinks from the bartender. The table was already piled high with all sorts of empty glasses, but she continued to slump over the table, drinking one glass after another until her face was flushed and she was completely drunk.

She just wanted to get herself completely drunk.

Drink until you forget your sorrows.

Not far from the woman's seat, several men with ill intentions, including blond hair, were staring at her intently.

"Brother, I've seen plenty of women like this."

"They're either heartbroken in love or frustrated at work, so they come to bars to drown their sorrows, seeking excitement and catharsis."

One of the thugs, sporting green hair, licked his lips, his eyes greedily sweeping over the woman's delicate face and slightly open neckline.

This kind of woman tastes the best.

He's infinitely better than those women on the dance floor who're darker than a man's mother; he'll even cry and struggle in bed, that feeling of conquest...

He would hardly even glance at a woman like that on a normal day.

But in this bar, there will always be one or two people who are so drunk they're completely unconscious, maybe once or twice a day.

Then it's their turn to step in and kindly guide these lost lambs home.

In the trade, this is called "picking up a corpse" (or "picking up a corpse").

Compared to his underling, whose mind was completely consumed by lust, the eldest brother was clearly much calmer. "Are you sure? What if she has accomplices nearby? It wouldn't be good if they caused trouble."

"Don't worry, brother, I've been observing for a long time."

Green Turtle confidently stated, "She's been drinking since this morning, and apart from us, no one has paid her any attention. This is the easiest to deal with; when she wakes up, she'll probably have forgotten even what her grandmother's name was."

After a moment's hesitation, Huang Mao nodded.

Such good quality items are rare; if another competitor snatches them up, they'll have nowhere to turn and will have nothing to complain about.

They had just stood up, but hadn't yet left their seats.

Suddenly, another person appeared next to the woman in white.

?

Some people are even picking up a hair.

The two who had just stood up sat back down.

"Didn't you say she didn't have any companions?" the blond-haired man asked in a deep voice.

Green Hair was also taken aback when he saw the person who suddenly appeared next to the woman. He stammered, "I don't know either. Maybe he's a deliveryman?"

"You can deliver food dressed like that?" The blond guy clearly didn't believe it.

The new guy's attire—all designer brands—clearly indicates he's no ordinary person; he looks like a rich kid.

"Let me take another look, let me take another look."

Green-haired Turtle laughed.

Having come this far and waited this long, he couldn't give up just because one person showed up. Suppressing his unease, the blond-haired man decided to observe further.

at the same time.

Luo Chen, standing next to Liu Ruyan, was very flustered.

"System, is this the mysterious mission you told me about? Come to bar counter number three at the Ritz Bar?"

He looked at Liu Ruyan, who was completely drunk, with a grim expression.

Doesn't this damn system want him dead?

Everyone knows that where there is a female lead, there is bound to be a dragon king. If he has even the slightest wicked thought, or even just touches the female lead, he will probably be torn to pieces.

"hehe.."

The system sneered from the shadows. How could a foolish host possibly understand its greatness?

Based on its experience in conquering so many universes.

After the female lead is rejected by the simp villain.

Often, one goes through the psychological journey of realizing that he was lying to me, that he doesn't love me, feeling empty and lonely without him, getting drunk, doubting oneself, and finally having an emotional breakdown.

Such moments are often the best time to reap the rewards.

After hearing the host's inner thoughts, the female protagonist will forcefully throw a tantrum to keep the host here, while the Dragon King can only watch from the sidelines, gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger, before silently leaving, heartbroken.

The host then wins the heart of the beauty.

This is the correct way to play!

[well...]

Luo Chen was caught in a dilemma as he looked at the completely drunk Liu Ruyan.

[Damn it, even though I know the Dragon King is likely nearby, what if he's absent this time? With Liu Ruyan in this state, those thugs will probably get away with it.]

[Tsk, upon closer inspection, she truly lives up to her title as the female lead; even drunk, she's still so beautiful.]

Drunk, Liu Ruyan slumped on the table, her eyes blurry with intoxication. Her hair was disheveled but still beautiful, adding a touch of fragility and messy beauty that she didn't usually possess.

Her delicate profile glowed with an alluring blush under the dim light, her lips slightly pouting as if she were murmuring something, and her long eyelashes seemed to be adorned with glistening...were they tears?

Hearing Luo Chen's thoughts, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but raise her head, glance at him, and recall the words her grandfather had spoken.

"Oh..."

She gave a bitter laugh, a bleak smile curving her lips. This laugh amplified the beauty of her brokenness to the extreme, sending a shiver down Luo Chen's spine.

[Mom, I think I'm falling in love.]

He instinctively reached out to help Liu Ruyan up.

"Hehehe... Just like that, everything is as I expected..." The system let out a strange laugh. However, the moment Luo Chen stretched out his hand, a strange sense of unease and fear enveloped him.

His survivor instincts told him this.

There is a Dragon King nearby.

"Holy crap! Time to get out of here!"

Without any hesitation, Luo Chen took off running, as if ten wild dogs were chasing him. He ran incredibly fast, wishing he had ten legs.

"???"

The system was completely baffled.

This script is wrong, isn't it?

What about the tug-of-war? The Dragon King hasn't even appeared yet!

Why are you running?!

The female lead hadn't even had a chance to reach out when he vanished without a trace?

Luo Chen no longer cared about the system; his survival instinct overwhelmed everything. He rushed out of the bar without looking back, blended into the crowd outside, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

You can go do that damn mission.

Is life more important?

Inside the bar, Liu Ruyan watched Luo Chen flee in disarray, a mocking smile slowly creeping onto her lips.

coward.

I must have been out of my mind to agree to the marriage proposal from the Luo family at the engagement banquet.

Ha, men are all big pigs.

She suddenly grabbed the wine glass and took another big gulp.

After observing for a long time, the yellow-haired and green-haired men felt their restless hearts heat up again when Luo Chen left.

"See, boss? I knew that kid was useless, a total coward!" Green Hair rubbed his hands excitedly. "Now that no one's in our way, boss, shall we go for it?"

The scarred blond man looked at Liu Ruyan, who was drinking alone and looking increasingly dejected, and his lewd light shone even brighter.

This kind of gem is truly irreplaceable once you miss it.

He nodded and was about to get up.

Before he could even get out of his seat, the bar door was kicked open, and a white figure, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, squeezed through the crowd.

The yellow-haired and green-haired people felt a blur before their eyes.

A young man wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans had appeared beside Liu Ruyan.

?

Not again?!

The blond and green-haired boys' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Don't worry, it's just a technical adjustment." Green Hair swallowed hard and sat back down to wait silently.

He refused to believe he couldn't wait any longer.

Ye Shu, who arrived late, grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand and looked at the empty wine glasses on the table with a heavy heart.

"Honey, how can you drink alcohol while pregnant?"

Liu Ruyan: ?
