An old man?
Forget it.
The reason Yun Yanlan could come and go freely in the Desolate Sea's Heavy Prison, and sneak into Zhou Yu's room every night, was all thanks to the old man!
Because as long as the old man gave the word, the prison guards would never allow the demoness to run rampant.
Zhou Yu had complained to his master countless times.
But the old man remained unmoved!
He allowed Yun Yanlan to use all sorts of seductive tricks on him, this teenage boy!
Once, Zhou Yu woke up in the morning and found the demoness in his bed, her hands not behaving!
At that moment, he almost thought he had done something excessive to Yun Yanlan last night…
Because when this woman woke up, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked so pitiful that no one could feel any anger towards her.
However, after that incident, the demoness never snuck into his room again.
Zhou Yu found it strange but didn't think much of it.
He just assumed the demoness had a change of heart and left him, this growing youth, alone.
"Whether you're a philanderer will be revealed in the future. Men who accomplish great things are always surrounded by women, as it's also a symbol of power for them," Yun Yanlan said.
Those in power hold high positions and interact with all sorts of people daily.
And among these people, not all of them are men.
Women also play a significant role in connecting various factions.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many socialites active in these circles.
"It seems Sister Yanlan has predicted about eighty to ninety percent of my future," Zhou Yu sighed.
Although he wanted to explain, given the current situation, it was pretty much in line with what Yun Yanlan had described.
That's right.
The powers of various prominent families were intertwined.
Once involved, it was impossible to simply wash one's hands clean.
Take Zhao Ruyue for example, Zhou Yu's current relationship with her was ambiguous and difficult to explain.
"But! Even though I know that will happen, I still find it hard to accept you registering your marriage with Su Yuyan! The first person you should have registered with is me!"
Yun Yanlan raised her apricot eyes, looking like she was about to settle accounts with Zhou Yu.
Fortunately, this was only a video call!
Zhou Yu let out a sigh of relief.
If it were in the past, seeing Yun Yanlan in such a state, he would have found an excuse to slip away.
"Ahem… Although I registered my marriage with Yuyan, we haven't done anything yet. Sister Yanlan, please don't misunderstand me… We are a couple by agreement, just on the surface, not to the extent of a true married couple."
"You really haven't done anything?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Can I trust you?"
"You must trust me!"
"Then tell me, are her hands soft?"
Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Yu's forehead.
When the demoness got serious, she was a big trouble.
How could her intelligence network not find out that Zhou Yu had held Su Yuyan's hand several times in front of many people?
Yun Yanlan was clearly starting to settle the score!
She was remembering everything, one by one.
The final reckoning would come the next time they met.
"Sister Yanlan, that's not fair. If we're acting, we have to go all the way. Isn't it normal for a married couple to hold hands?"
Zhou Yu felt the need to change the demoness's perspective.
It was just acting!
Please don't dwell on the detail of holding hands, okay?
Of course, he wouldn't dare say these thoughts aloud to Yun Yanlan.
"She asked you if her hands were soft, and you kept emphasizing that you and she are just acting. Is she questioning you about something? Xiao Yu, Sister is just concerned about you, don't misunderstand Sister."
Yun Yanlan's expression instantly changed.
She was now exhibiting a completely girlish demeanor.
But Zhou Yu knew this was just one of the demoness's little tricks to manipulate people.
He had been manipulated like this many times before.
"No, no, how could that be! Sister Yanlan, you are the most beloved person in this world to me!" Zhou Yu said sincerely.
At the same time.
He added inwardly: Old man, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you for now.
Yun Yanlan placed her fair fingers on her red lips, pouting and saying, "Then what about your master? If I'm the most beloved, what about him?"
"..."
This time, Zhou Yu was truly embarrassed.
The most dreaded thing was sudden silence.
If it were another thirty-year-old woman video-calling Zhou Yu, he might have punched through the screen.
And added, "You're thirty years old, what are you trying to be cute for!"
But Yun Yanlan, even at thirty, looked perfectly natural when she acted cute.
Her innate charming physique was that formidable.
She could transform into any feminine posture she had seen, easily changing her appearance.
Instantaneously, without any casting animations.
Those who didn't know would find it hard to believe, but this was indeed the truth.
And when she performed these actions and spoke these words, she was even more "girly" than those who feigned cuteness…
Seeing Zhou Yu fall silent, Yun Yanlan said again, "Hehe, it's okay, I know you're lying to me, but I just love hearing these words."
"Sister Yanlan, can we talk properly?"
"What if I can't? Do you want to hit me?"
"..."
Zhou Yu certainly couldn't hit her; if he did, the old man wouldn't let him off easily.
Moreover, Yun Yanlan was actually very good to Zhou Yu and took great care of him.
If they were to truly settle things, Zhou Yu actually owed the demoness a lot.
If he were an ordinary person, encountering a woman like Yun Yanlan would be an incredible stroke of luck.
Of course, this was all based on Yun Yanlan truly having feelings for Zhou Yu.
Despite the demoness's current demeanor, only she knew what was truly on her mind.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to make any assumptions.
"Xiao Yu, you're being so perfunctory with me today."
Yun Yanlan squatted in front of the screen, her eyes seeming to well up with tears.
She looked like a kitten, making one want to hug and pet her.
However, Zhou Yu finally sighed, "Alright, Sister Yanlan, I know it's been three months since we last met, and you have a lot you want to say to me, but for now, let's get back to the main topic. When we meet next time, I will cooperate with you."
"You said it, Sister remembers!"
Yun Yanlan immediately returned to her previous demeanor.
Zhou Yu's expression slightly froze.
Women changed their faces faster than flipping a book, and Yun Yanlan was undoubtedly the one who changed her appearance as if she were changing personalities.
"Xiao Yu, are you going back on your word?" Yun Yanlan asked softly.
"Not at all." Zhou Yu patted his chest, making a promise.
He always kept his word.
"Compared to your seven fiancées, I was the first beauty you met, wasn't I?"
"..."
"Am I not beautiful?"
"Of course you are beautiful, Sister Yanlan, you're bubbling with beauty."
"Tch, very perfunctory. Listening to that makes me unhappy."
"Sister Yanlan, are we going to continue like this? Can we..."
"Yes! Come on! As far as I know, Shadow is coming to Yunhai to choose one of the local prominent families to become their power base in Yunhai. Which family do you think will become their target?"
Yun Yanlan immediately became serious.
