Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 474 Ungrateful women! Taught lesson! Pegged Underwater! (1)

Zhang Wei's realization dawned with the clarity of a breaking dawn, recognizing the situation at play.

A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, unable to contain his amusement.

He had to begrudgingly acknowledge Lin Ruoxi's prowess, despite his reservations about her cold personality.

She wielded influence with surgical precision, exploiting vulnerabilities with the finesse of a master strategist.

Just as she had manipulated Wang Haroan, now Ye Mengying found herself trapped in Lin Ruoxi's intricate web, pushed towards a corner with no escape in sight.

Lin Ruoxi was merely breaking one leg before attempting to engulf them whole!

________

"So she is your wife, then..." Seeing no hint of dishonesty, Ye Mengying couldn't help but acknowledge the fact, though she chose not to press the issue further. Instead, she settled back into her seat, her mind racing to devise a new strategy.

"Since you're heading to Xianghui and if you find yourself without accommodation, you're welcome to stay with us. And this offer isn't tied to any deal; consider it a gesture of our hospitality," she proposed.

Zhang Wei, however, shook his head in decline. "Just drop me off outside Jade Court."

"!"

Ye Mengying's eyes widened in shock. "Jade Court!?"

He nodded, seemingly unaffected. "Is there a problem with that?"

"Are you aware of what lies there?" Ye Mengying pressed, her tone a mixture of concern and contempt.

Afterall — The new born calves are really not afraid of tiger!

Zhang Wei's eyebrows arched in curiosity; as far as he was aware, it was merely an enclave inhabited by a collection of women.

Observing his perplexed look, Ye Mengying hurried to explain, "The Jade Court is located to the north of the city, isolated from the industrial zones and ensconced in a typically serene setting, surrounded by forests on three sides."

"The entire northern territory is under the dominion of the Iron Syndicate!"

"And yet, they wouldn't dare to lay a finger on that place. Do you think that's just a coincidence?" She added, her tone conveying both worry and a hint of disdain for his apparent recklessness.

Zhang Wei's smile turned knowing, and he cast a glance around as if he were about to divulge a secret of monumental importance. "Do you know who really controls the Jade Court?" he inquired, his tone laced with intrigue.

"!"

Ye Mengying's eyes narrowed with curiosity. "Isn't it managed by a woman?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Wei displayed a mix of disappointment and amusement at her lack of insight. "You lack wisdom. Have you never heard of the Prince standing behind her?"

"!!"

"You are the—" Ye Mengying began to piece things together, only for Zhang Wei to swiftly close the gap between them and press his hand over her mouth.

!!

A gust of wind brushed against her face, marked with astonishment, just as Su Beibei turned around, her expression morphing into one of suspicion at their clandestine behavior.

"What are you two whispering about—eh, what?"

"!"

The scene that greeted her—Zhang Wei and Ye Mengying in a seemingly compromising and unexpected embrace—appeared more like an abduction than an innocent interaction.

!!

"You beast! Let her go!" Su Beibei exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic and concern for Ye Mengying.

"Haaa... Beibei, you are completely misunderstanding us!" Ye Mengying gasped, her voice laced with urgency as Zhang Wei finally released her.

"What misunderstanding? He was clearly forcing himself on you!" Su Beibei's tone was sharp and accusatory.

As Ye Mengying spoke, Zhang Wei couldn't help but entertain dark thoughts. 'Your days are numbered, chirping bird. Just wait until I seal your mouth with duct tape,' his mind seethed with omnious threat.

"Hey, is there no way for us to secure a supplier contract?" Ye Mengying's frustration was evident as she voiced her doubts about the seemingly reliable yet intentionally unreliable man.

Her words struck a chord within Zhang Wei, snapping him back to full attention.

The anticipation in his eyes was evident, as if he had been waiting for this moment all along.

Lin Ruoxi may have aimed to control their group, but Zhang Wei had bigger plans.

He envisioned completely dominating the situation, leaving nothing behind in his wake.

He enjoyed the idea of reducing her to begging, for this very moment!

"There is indeed a way," he finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of superiority.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ye Mengying's eyes. "What way?" she asked skeptically, her doubt shadowing her curiosity.

Zhang Wei's voice echoed with a touch of knowing smile, "I've recently found myself in need of a masseur..."

"..."

Ye Mengying's face darkened , a mixture of concern and disbelief etched on her face.

System, [How many masseurs do you need, host? She's the 17th one this week.]

"!"

Su Beibei's lips tightened, her eyes betraying her worry.

His words struck Ye Mengying like a sudden gust of wind, causing her to purse her lips in contemplation.

"What kind of masseur...?" She hesitated, her mind racing.

Little did she realize, in that fleeting moment, that escaping to a remote island might have been her best option to avoid her brother's eyes!

Zhang Wei's eyes sparkled mischievously, relishing the opportunity.

He had yet to resort to manipulating a woman in the name of business, finding the prospect strangely exciting, "The kind of masseur you think it is."

"..."

Ye Mengying's expression soured as Su Beibei's brow furrowed.

"Cousin, you can't possibly consider selling yourself like this. The contract isn't worth it," she protested, her voice tinged with frustration.

But Ye Mengying was already lost in thought, her silence a sign of her internal struggle.

Su Beibei shot a stern glare at Zhang Wei, only to be met with a range of indecent gestures that sent her scurrying away in disgust.

________

Fifteen minutes later!

"Your destination is here..." Ye Mengying finally announced, her voice heavy with resignation, as they came to a halt before an ancient, weather-worn pavilion, shrouded in mystery.

Click!

With a flourish, Zhang Wei swung open the car door, his excitement growing as he stepped out onto the pavement. "The offer is always open—"

Whoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence, the car sped away, leaving him standing there, his eyes narrowing in annoyance.

"What an ungrateful woman..." Despite his grumble, a smirk played at the corners of his lips. He knew all too well she wouldn't be returning.

And that, to him, was the most exhilarating part of the game.

Didn't these young masters revel in such playful exchanges all day?

"[Host, host! The Jade Court is your destination; let's save the Pink Court for later!]" The system's urgent reminder snapped Zhang Wei back to his mission, sensing his distraction.

Zhang Wei cleared his throat, regaining his composure. "Ahem, right... The Jade Court..."

Glancing ahead, he took in the medieval pavilion, its ancient charm juxtaposed against the sprawling bamboo forest behind it. The scenery was like something out of a painting, making him begrudgingly admit that Tang Lifen had some taste after all.

_____

Jade Court!

Tang Lifen stood in front of her indoor pool, the warm glow of lantern light casting soft shadows across the intricately designed wooden floors and pillars that surrounded her.

Rustle...

With a sigh, she gracefully slid her dress off her shoulders, letting it pool at her feet before stepping into the inviting water.

She needed this time to cool her mind before facing anything else!

The prince's demands weighed heavily on her, pressing down on her like a heavy cloak of expectation.

She knew he deliberately set her up for failure, continuously assigning her impossible tasks to complete.

Fueled by frustration, she simmered with anger.

As she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the calm water, she closed her eyes and focused on taking slow, deep breaths to soothe her racing thoughts.

"Haa..."

With a fluid motion, she released her hair from its confining bun, letting it cascade down her back like a vibrant waterfall.

The magenta fabric of her bra and panties clung to her curves, barely concealing her form against the rippling pool.

Her pulpy red lips brushed by her slender fingers, before trailing down to her own impressive mounds.

As she admired their size, she couldn't help but wonder, "Did they grow again...?" Her chest now overflowing, she felt a surge of surprise.

A flush of red crept up her neck as she prepared to bathe, momentarily forgetting about her evolving body.

But then, out of nowhere —

Splash!

"!"

Before Tang Lifen could even speak, she felt a cold grip around her neck from behind, sending a chill down her spine.

Suddenly, her sight was consumed by water.

Glub!

Glub!

Glub!

"Uughh!?"

Her nostrils flared underwater, struggling for air as the suffocating pressure crushed her. Water began to seep into her mouth, drowning her in its icy embrace.

Glub!

Glub!

Glub!

"!!"

In a final, desperate attempt, she thrashed and kicked violently in an effort to shake off the bone chilling grip of her assailant, the realization dawning upon her that all her efforts were futile as a cold dread gripped her heart!
