168: A project worth hundreds of millions, Qiangwei fights again!

“Alright, Sister Lan can rest assured now,” Su Mo said softly, looking at Qin Lan’s pretty face, which still held a hint of bewilderment.

“With Fim here, even an Overlord-level BOSS won’t be able to harm a single hair on you.”

“Mhm.” Qin Lan nodded heavily.

The immense power emanating from the shadow was like the warmest harbor, dispelling all her unease and apprehension.

For her, Su Mo had practically revealed one of his trump cards.

This trust was more profound than any words.

She absolutely must not disappoint his expectations!

“Scarlet Rose.” Su Mo turned to look at the enchanting succubus who had been observing him with a complex gaze since earlier.

“Sister Lan is in your hands.”

“Don’t worry.” Scarlet Rose raised her chin, her beautiful face regaining its usual confidence and pride.

“She’s practically half one of us now in ‘Scarlet Rose.’ No one can touch her on my turf.”

As she spoke, she stepped forward with an elegant cat-like stride and naturally took Qin Lan’s hand.

The warm touch made Qin Lan slightly startled.

“Sister Lan, right?” Scarlet Rose’s red lips curved. “My name is Scarlet Rose. From now on, we’re sisters.”

“You… hello, Sister Scarlet Rose.” Qin Lan looked at the powerful, aggressively beautiful woman before her, still a little unaccustomed to it.

“Don’t call me sister,” Scarlet Rose shook her head, a hint of mischief in her smile.

“According to that scoundrel Su Mo’s harem ranking, I’m at least your senior.”

“Just call me Sister Scarlet Rose.”

Qin Lan: “…”

She subconsciously glanced at the man next to her who was winking at her, then looked at the surprising and avant-garde Queen Alliance Leader before her, whose thoughts she couldn’t quite keep up with.

Queen Scarlet Rose was in full command of her aura.

She opened the guild panel, her slender fingers swiftly gliding across the virtual screen, selecting seven female players, all around level ten.

She also called over two personal female bodyguards who had been following her, their auras composed, equipment excellent, and levels already reaching twenty-five, having completed their first advancement.

“The nine of you, starting today, will be a squad.”

“You have only one mission: to escort this Sister Qin Lan and safely clear her first novice dungeon.”

“Remember, it must be absolutely safe! No matter what happens, she must not suffer any mishap!”

When her words fell.

The nine female players whose names were called all trembled, no longer daring to be negligent in the slightest, and immediately knelt on one knee, responding in unison:

“Yes, Alliance Leader! We guarantee to complete the mission!”

“Alright, off you go.” Scarlet Rose waved her hand.

The nine female players immediately stood up, surrounding Qin Lan, who was still a little dazed, and walked to an open space in the manor.

The next second, they all silently chanted in their hearts: “Enter Gaia Space!”

Buzz—!

Eleven dazzling white lights shot up into the sky!

As the light dissipated, Qin Lan and her ten “personal bodyguards” instantly vanished from their original spot.

And the ferocious bull-head shadow beneath her feet also disappeared along with the bright white light.

“Done.”

Su Mo watched the eleven disappearing white lights, a satisfied smile on his face.

With Fim, this Lord-level “super tank” with 410,000 HP, plus two first-advancement experts and seven support players, this luxurious bodyguard lineup was more than enough, not to mention a novice dungeon; it would even be sufficient for pioneering mid-to-low-level dungeons.

Now, he could finally go about his “proper business” with peace of mind.

He turned his head and met the playful phoenix eyes that were watching him.

The next moment, he extended his arm, giving the other party no chance to react, and pulled the alluring figure into his embrace.

“My dear Scarlet Rose, now it’s just the two of us left at home.”

Su Mo wore a devilishly charming smirk, his nose nuzzling her hair, lightly sniffing the intoxicating fragrance.

“Shouldn’t we go back to the room and have a deep discussion about that multi-million project?”

“You…” Scarlet Rose looked at Su Mo’s eyes, which were already starting to become somewhat heated, and her beautiful face inexplicably flushed.

She was about to retort with a few defiant words.

But then she heard an irrepressible snicker from nearby.

“Pfft…”

“Look, look, the Alliance Leader is being ‘bullied’ by that man again.”

“That man is too domineering, isn’t he? Even our Alliance Leader, such a proud woman, is like a kitten in front of him; he just hugs her whenever he wants.”

“Exactly, exactly, and haven’t you noticed, that man seems very young, even younger than us.”

“Young, handsome, and incredibly strong… Who can resist such a top-tier man?”

“Ah, if only I could be hugged by him like that, I’d die happy.”

The female players of Scarlet Rose whispered among themselves while secretly watching, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and undisguised admiration.

These audacious words drifted into Scarlet Rose’s ears, every single one.

With a “boom,” her already rosy face instantly turned crimson all the way to her ears.

Being held and teased like this by that scoundrel in front of so many of her subordinates, what about her prestige as the Alliance Leader?!

She glared fiercely at the culprit who was looking at her with a smug expression.

Then, she steeled her heart, gritted her teeth, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, actively pressing a heavy kiss onto Su Mo’s lips!

“Let’s go! To the room!”

She grabbed Su Mo’s hand in return and walked quickly towards her bedroom without looking back.

Su Mo was momentarily stunned by her sudden initiative.

Immediately, the smile on his face became incredibly brilliant.

This woman was truly becoming more and more captivating.

He liked it!
