Bai Zhi ran wildly, her heart pounding frantically in her chest.
She moved like a slippery loach, weaving through gaps in the crowd.
At this moment, she didn't dare to look back, always feeling that Lu Cheng's smiling eyes were firmly fixed on her back.
Finally, she ran out of Antique Street and turned into a relatively quiet alley, planning to circle around from here to completely shake off that devil.
She leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, her chest heaving from the intense run.
"Should... should have shaken him off, right?"
Bai Zhi patted her chest with lingering fear, just about to let out a sigh of relief.
However, just then...
At the other end of the alley, two small figures blocked her path.
The one on the left, dressed in pink with twin pigtails, was glaring at her angrily, hands on her hips, like a puffed-up kitten.
The one on the right, wearing a simple white dress, was also about her height, with a gentle demeanor, but her eyes, too, held a hint of unfriendliness when she looked at her.
It was Lu Xuan and Song Zhiyi, who had come to flank her from another route.
Bai Zhi's brain froze for a moment.
Who were these two... little ones?
Lu Xuan was the first to attack. She walked aggressively to Bai Zhi and spoke in the tone of interrogating a prisoner.
"Hey! You sneaky bad woman! Why are you following my brother?"
Song Zhiyi also walked over slowly, her voice not as harsh, but still carrying a sense of pressure.
"You also deliberately caused trouble, making Brother Cheng miss out on a treasure!"
Bai Zhi's brain raced.
Brother?
And Brother Cheng?
Are they Lu Cheng's... sisters?
Or something else?
And the height of these two little girls... What kind of combination is this?
Bai Zhi stammered, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation.
"I... I didn't... I was just passing by..."
"Liar!"
Lu Xuan's volume instantly rose, her small finger pointing at Bai Zhi's nose.
"We've been following you the whole way!"
"And you ran as soon as you came out of Antique Street! A guilty conscience!"
"Are you trying to plot against my brother? I'm telling you, with me here, you can forget about it!"
Bai Zhi was scolded with a finger pointed at her nose, her face instantly flushed crimson.
When had she ever suffered such injustice?
Just as the three parties faced off, and the atmosphere was extremely tense...
A smiling voice came from the alley entrance.
"Xuaner, Zhiyi, don't be so fierce. This young lady might not necessarily be a bad person."
Lu Cheng's figure slowly appeared.
He had a gentle smile on his face. He walked closer, first affectionately ruffled Lu Xuan's and Song Zhiyi's heads, comforting the two little ones.
Then, he turned his gaze to Bai Zhi, who was completely petrified.
His smile remained gentle, but what he said made Bai Zhi feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Isn't that right? Miss Antique Expert who loves picking up bricks and talks nonsense?"
It's over!
He really knew everything!
Bai Zhi's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
She looked at the man in front of her, who smiled harmlessly but was actually more terrifying than a devil, and then looked at the two little girls glaring at her.
Today, she was probably really going to meet her end here.
Since that's the case... then she might as well go all out!
A surge of desperate courage rose from the bottom of Bai Zhi's heart. She suddenly raised her head, puffed out her not-so-ample chest, and decided to turn the tables!
"Oh? You care about me that much?"
Bai Zhi's tone suddenly became sharp and mean.
Her gaze deliberately swept over Lu Xuan's and Song Zhiyi's petite figures.
"Look at your two women, they also have loli figures."
"You're not a loli-con, are you?"
"Disgusting! Pervert!"
These words were earth-shshattering!
Lu Xuan and Song Zhiyi were both stunned. They hadn't expected this seemingly timid woman to have such a venomous tongue!
And in Bai Zhi's mind, the cold system prompt unexpectedly sounded at this moment!
[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully stirred the emotions of the destined great villain!]
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden function: "Villain Emotion Value Shop"!]
[Current Villain Emotion Value: +10!]
[Emotion values can be exchanged for various items and skills in the shop!]
What?!
Bai Zhi's eyes instantly lit up!
Scolding him... could get her rewards?
Such a good thing exists?
She immediately looked at Lu Cheng and found that although the smile on his face stiffened for a moment, it quickly returned to its calm and composed appearance, with no sign of anger.
What's wrong? Not enough force?!
Bai Zhi took a deep breath, deciding to increase the dosage!
"Scum!"
"You perverted loli-con!"
"Pah! Disgusting!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Lu Xuan finally reacted, her small face flushed red with anger, and she stomped her foot.
"My brother is not a loli-con!"
"He likes the cool, older sister type! Everyone in our family is like that!"
Song Zhiyi also quietly echoed from the side.
"Indeed..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi not only didn't back down but seemed to have found an even bigger handle, the light in her eyes growing brighter!
"Oh!? So that's how it is!"
She pointed at Lu Cheng, her voice rising eight octaves.
"You actually have so many women? Do you know that's illegal?"
"Disgusting! Scumbag! The dregs of society!"
[Ding! Villain Emotion Value +20!]
[Ding! Villain Emotion Value +30!]
A series of system prompts made Bai Zhi feel as if she had found the highway to financial freedom!
She looked at Lu Cheng, ready to continue, pouring out every curse word she had ever learned!
Although Lu Cheng's emotions were unstable internally, he still maintained a gentle expression on his face.
Having been a villain for so long, could he still get angry over these two insults?
He looked at Bai Zhi, who was spewing insults with spittle flying, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and then at the two little ones beside her.
For the first time, he felt what it was like to have a headache.
Bai Zhi scolding him, he could understand, she should be getting rewards, right?
But these two girls... were they really speaking up for him?
How did it feel like they were handing a knife to the other side?
