166: Qin Lan arrives, with six goddess-level teammates!

Just as the two were enjoying this rare ‘post-battle tenderness’…

“Ding-dong—”

Su Mo’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was a message from Qin Lan.

“Xiao Mo, I… I’ve already arrived in Chao City. Where are you?”

“That fast?” Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

It seemed the people under Scarlet Rose were quite efficient.

He replied to the message, then stood up and said to Scarlet Rose, “Let’s go, my good Scarlet Rose, it’s time to get down to business.”

“Mm.” Scarlet Rose nodded and also stood up from the bed.

When she saw Su Mo still looking full of Spirit, a deep shock and… frustration couldn't help but flash in her narrow, phoenix-like eyes.

What was this man made of?

She was practically falling apart from his torment, yet he was acting as if nothing had happened.

It seemed it would be impossible for her to defeat him in “bed” in the future.

But losing to such a man didn’t seem so shameful either.

Scarlet Rose silently comforted herself.

Then, she followed Su Mo out of the presidential suite, which was filled with amorous spring light… Ten minutes later, in the top private room of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.

Su Mo and Scarlet Rose arrived late.

When the two of them entered the private room, Li Xiaodong and the other Hongxing Society bigwigs were already waiting at the table.

However, this time, their faces no longer held the condescending scrutiny and disdain of last night; instead, they showed a genuine reverence and… fawning.

“Oh, Su Mo, my dear nephew, you’re finally here!”

The Third Uncle with a scar on his face was the first to stand up, greeting them with a broad smile.

“Please, have a seat, quickly, have a seat.”

“We specifically asked the kitchen to prepare the most premium ‘nutritional’ feast for you and Scarlet Rose, guaranteed to keep you ‘energetic’.”

As he spoke, he kept sweeping his gaze back and forth between Su Mo and Scarlet Rose with a look that “men would understand.”

The meaning was self-evident.

Scarlet Rose’s pretty face instantly flushed “red.”

She glared fiercely at the disrespectful scarred man, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Su Mo, on the other hand, had a calm and composed expression.

He naturally pulled Scarlet Rose to sit at the head of the table.

Then, he glanced at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.

Sea cucumber, abalone, large kidney, soft-shelled turtle soup… Good heavens.

These old guys were truly “well-intentioned.”

“Su Mo, my dear nephew, how did you rest last night?”

Li Xiaodong, sitting at the head of the table, looked at Su Mo with a benevolent smile and asked with concern.

His question was very skillful.

It not only expressed his concern as a “father-in-law” for his “son-in-law” but also subtly inquired whether his strong-willed daughter had done anything to him.

After all, he knew his daughter’s temper all too well.

When she got angry, she really would bite.

Su Mo naturally heard the hidden meaning in his words.

He glanced at the stunning enchantress beside him, who was pretending not to hear anything by lowering her head, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Then, he looked up at Li Xiaodong and said with a look of “deep understanding,” “I rested quite well.”

“It’s just that your ‘precious daughter’ is a bit too ‘passionate’.”

“I almost… couldn’t ‘handle it’.”

Su Mo deliberately emphasized the words “passionate” and “couldn’t handle it.”

His suggestive words made everyone present reveal a knowing, lewd smile.

It also made Scarlet Rose’s already slightly flushed face instantly turn a pig-liver color.

“Su Mo! What nonsense are you spouting?!”

She angrily stomped on Su Mo’s foot under the table.

“Hiss…”

Su Mo gasped.

This crazy woman really didn’t hold back.

“Hahahaha…”

Li Xiaodong looked at his daughter’s adorable, shy, and annoyed expression, and Su Mo’s pained yet happy face, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Alright, alright, stop messing around.”

“Quick, eat, quick, eat.”

“Nephew, come, eat more of this, it’s very nourishing.”

As Li Xiaodong spoke, he personally picked up a large, incredibly plump kidney for Su Mo.

The meal was finished in this harmonious yet bizarre atmosphere… After dinner, Su Mo was led by Scarlet Rose to a private estate under her name.

This was the real-world base of the Scarlet Rose guild, and also the common home for all of their female players.

As soon as he walked into the estate, Su Mo’s eyes went wide.

On the spacious, football-field-like lawn, dozens of stunning beauties with hot figures and scantily clad were frolicking.

Some were swimming in the pool in bikinis.

Some were doing various difficult yoga poses on the grass in yoga outfits.

Others were playing beach volleyball in simple sports vests and hot pants.

Those dazzlingly white long legs.

Those perky, round peach-like buttocks.

Those clear, melodious giggles.

This scene was truly too alluring and too stimulating!

Su Mo felt as if he had accidentally stumbled into a kingdom of women.

Every woman here, though not as beautiful or elegant as the few exceptional ones beside him, made up for it in sheer numbers!

And each one was young, pretty, and had a hot figure.

If he were to collect them all… Su Mo silently calculated in his heart.

“Hey! Have you stared enough?!”

Just as Su Mo was feasting his eyes and letting his imagination run wild, Scarlet Rose’s jealous voice rang in his ear.

“Cough cough.” Su Mo cleared his throat twice, withdrew his wandering gaze, and put on an upright smile.

“I’m appreciating beauty.”

“What do you know?”

“Pah! I don’t believe a word of it!” Scarlet Rose rolled her eyes at him.

“You big pervert, I bet you want to collect all my sisters too, don’t you?”

“Why? Can’t I?” Su Mo’s face showed a matter-of-fact expression.

“Anyway, you’re already my woman. What’s yours isn’t mine?”

“You… you’re shameless!” Scarlet Rose was so angered by Su Mo’s bandit-like logic that she couldn’t speak.

She had never seen such a brazen man!

Just as the two were bickering, a gentle, somewhat timid voice came from not far away.

“Xiao… Xiao Mo?”

Su Mo looked over at the sound, only to see Qin Lan standing uneasily under a large tree not far away.

She was accompanied by several female bodyguards in black suits.

Today, she had changed into a very ordinary white dress and wore no makeup.

But the gentle, intellectual, and mature charm emanating from her bones still made her stand out among this flock of beautiful women.

“Sister Lan!”

Su Mo’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

He released his arm from around Scarlet Rose and strode towards Qin Lan.

Under Scarlet Rose’s surprised and puzzled gaze, he naturally pulled Qin Lan into his embrace.

“How are you doing? Sister Lan, are you getting used to it here?”

“It’s… it’s alright.” Qin Lan leaned against Su Mo’s broad chest, feeling his familiar scent, and her anxious heart miraculously settled down.

She looked up at Su Mo’s handsome face, so close to her, and her gentle eyes were filled with reliance and adoration.

On the other side, Scarlet Rose watched the intimate scene before her, and a complex light flashed in her narrow, phoenix-like eyes.

She was the “newcomer” Su Mo said he needed her to guide?

A mature beauty who looked delicate and spoke softly?

Su Mo’s taste was truly unique.

“Alright, Sister Lan, don’t be afraid.” Su Mo patted Qin Lan’s back and comforted her softly,

“From today on, you are a part of this family.”

As he spoke, he opened his team panel and sent team invitations to both Qin Lan and Scarlet Rose.

【Ding! Player ‘Qin Lan’ has joined your team!】

【Ding! Player ‘Scarlet Rose’ has joined your team!】

【Ding! Detected a new “Goddess” level companion in the team — Scarlet Rose!】

“Holy crap! A six-hundred percent boost!”

Su Mo looked at his dazzling attributes, which had once again surged by a large margin, and his heart blossomed with joy.

Two hundred and fifty thousand HP!

Three thousand six hundred Strength!

It seemed his decision to forcefully claim Scarlet Rose, this thorny rose, by spending four pieces of legendary betrothal gifts, was correct.

At this moment, Scarlet Rose’s attention was not on her own attribute changes at all.

Her gaze was fixed on Su Mo’s team channel.

When she saw the long string of female avatars on it, she was completely stunned.

Shen Yufu, Xiao Wu, Samantha, Luo Xiaorou, Qin Lan… Including herself, Su Mo’s team already had six women?!

And when her gaze fell on the cute pink twin-tailed loli avatar, her pupils constricted!

Long Kui’er?!

The little demoness from the Long family in the capital?!

How was she also in Su Mo’s team?!

What was Su Mo’s background?

He even dared to lay hands on someone from the Long family?!
