Chapter 604: The Bad Woman Who Plays with People’s Hearts
After the live stream ended, Young Master Sang and Nian Nian couldn’t help but click their tongues in astonishment.
“Pretty lively, huh?” Young Master Sang chuckled, “That Chen Zhang must be furious by now.”
“How’s Bai Ming’s side preparing?”
“Already all set.” Nian Nian lazily leaned into Young Master Sang, stretching like a little kitten. “The reporters are waiting down the mountain, and they’ll start the interview as soon as they see Chen Zhang.”
“But honestly, even if they don’t do the interview, the press release has already been written. Tomorrow’s headlines on all social media will be dominated by this cheating scandal.”
“All that’s left is to wait for it to simmer for a few days.”
Young Master Sang nodded.
The first step of this plan was surprisingly easy. The tricky part was how to lure the remaining Primordial Deities to take the bait.
But there was no rush; Young Master Sang believed that when it came to creating public opinion and setting up opposition, Bai Ming’s team was the best.
He just needed to let them get caught.
“The next few days should finally be a bit more chill.”
Young Master Sang stretched and softly said, “Time to continue pursuing Senior Sister Yan.”
Nian Nian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him in disdain.
“Wow, you really are a stud. After all that time in the Falling Red Realm, and you still can’t get your fill, now you’re back thinking about swooning women.”
“Pursuing Senior Sister Yan is a vow I made.”
Young Master Sang said earnestly, “I’m a man of my word—”
He suddenly paused.
For some reason, a few phrases popped into his mind.
…Brother won’t leave me, right??
…He’ll be with me forever, right?
…I promise you.
Feeling inexplicably agitated, a trace of gloominess appeared in Young Master Sang’s eyes.
Fortunately, Nian Nian didn’t notice his mood swings and continued to mock him: “Tch, stupid host. If anyone actually believed what you said, they’d be a real idiot.”
Young Master Sang moved his lips, wanting to retort, but he ultimately held it back.
“By the way, how’s your progress with Yan Rouwan?”
“Not too great, I suppose.” Young Master Sang shrugged helplessly. “Ever since she awakened her versatility, she’s been keeping a distance from me, playing hard to get.”
“Sometimes she’ll intentionally act very intimate, like she’s teasing me, but other times she’s cold and distant, like a stranger.”
“I can’t quite figure out what she really thinks of me.”
He sighed, “Now Senior Sister Yan feels like a bad woman playing with hearts, while I’m just a toy in her hands.”
Nian Nian blinked, a crafty glimmer crossing her beautiful eyes.
“If you want to pursue her… I have a suggestion~”
Young Master Sang sat up straight immediately, but then he felt suspicious: “Is it reliable? You’re not trying to trick me again, are you?”
“Of course it’s reliable! Just trust me, and it’ll be fine.”
Nian Nian eagerly leaned into Young Master Sang’s ear and whispered, “Right now, isn’t Yan Rouwan putting on an act, pretending to be aloof and keeping her distance from you?”
“In this case, you should do the opposite—intentionally distance yourself and act like you’ve given up on pursuing her.”
“Who knows, it might work wonders~”
After hearing Nian Nian’s words, Young Master Sang fell deep in thought.
“Hmm… that does seem to make some sense. But what if this angers Senior Sister Yan and makes her lose all interest in me?”
“Oh, you don’t understand that woman at all.”
Nian Nian waved her hand disdainfully: “I’ve known her for years. I know this little girl too well.”
“She’s the type who can’t appreciate what’s in front of her, always thinking she’ll realize your worth only after she loses you.”
“Just follow my advice, and trust me, in a few days she’ll be crying and begging for you to pursue her again.”
After listening to Nian Nian, Young Master Sang felt a bit tempted.
“Well… I’ll give it a try?”
Nian Nian patted Young Master Sang’s shoulder: “Perfect timing! Didn’t she go shopping with Little Ying just now?”
“You still have time to catch up.”
Young Master Sang nodded, quickly changed his clothes, and got ready to leave, throwing back over his shoulder, “Then it’s up to you, okay?”
Nian Nian: “? Up to me for what?”
“Watch the kid.”
Young Master Sang smiled brightly, “Make sure to get along well with Little Ying You, okay?”
With that, he turned and left, leaving Nian Nian without a chance to respond.
“Not like…”
Nian Nian stood there stunned for a moment, then glanced back at Little Ying You, who was blinking at her.
Nian Nian: “…H-Hello there!”
Little Ying You bit her finger, seemingly sizing Nian Nian up.
Then, she sweetly said:
“Want… to milk…”
Seeing those tiny hands reaching towards her chest, Nian Nian’s scalp went numb, and she turned to run.
“Help!!!”

Zhe Sang Town was no longer the small town it once was.
Thanks to the Demon Cultivators and Young Master Sang’s fame, the town had grown two or three times its original size, bustling with a myriad of residents and a much more vibrant market.
Not only had various trading halls of Floating Splendor Commerce opened branches here, but small vendors from north to south also established their stalls. Many had come just to visit because of Young Master Sang’s reputation.
Even as the lights began to shine, the entire town was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Though it wasn’t the peak time for the market yet, the streets were already packed with people, bustling and jostling.
Amidst the vendors calling out their wares and tourists browsing around, even internet celebrities were live-streaming with Communication Devices in hand, Zhang Xiaoying and Yan Rouwan walked arm in arm, drawing quite a few gazes like celestial beings descending to earth.
“Actually,” on the road, Yan Rouwan hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, “I don’t really need any new clothes.”
“Hey, even if you don’t need them, what’s wrong with buying a few nice outfits?” Zhang Xiaoying winked mischievously. “What girl doesn’t like pretty clothes?”
Yan Rouwan looked at Zhang Xiaoying with complex feelings and sighed lightly, “Did I… not fool you at all?”
“What do you mean, Senior Sister Yan?”
“Ever since I awakened my memories, I’ve been intentionally pretending to be unapproachable, and even Senior Sister Shi and the others have been fooled by me. Why is it that only you still believe I’m the same Yan Rouwan?”
Zhang Xiaoying tilted her head, thinking for a moment: “Well… I guess there isn’t any particularly special reason.”
“To me, Senior Sister Yan is still Senior Sister Yan. I don’t even feel like you’re pretending at all. In my eyes, you’re still the same as before.”
Yan Rouwan was about to say something more, but then she helplessly drooped her gaze: “…sigh, never mind.”
“However, can we negotiate a little… at least don’t tell Young Master Sang about this for now?”
Zhang Xiaoying paused for a second before quickly understanding: “Oh~ I see.”
Seeing Yan Rouwan’s slightly flushed and awkward expression, Zhang Xiaoying smiled and linked her arm with her: “Don’t worry. I won’t tell your husband.”
“Just enjoy a little bit more of your husband’s affection, okay~”
