With the matter of Zhuoyuan settled, Lü Cheng and his group returned to Shanghai.
Ai Jiangtu and Zhang Xiaohou were both busy returning to the military region, and Mo Fan, who had obtained the Little Fire Dragon, also threw himself back into the hectic life of cultivating and making money.
"You two are already living together?"
Like a curious child, Jiang Shaoxu followed Lü Cheng and his group back home.
Upon hearing the words "cohabitation," Mu Nujiao and the other women reacted differently.
The only thing missing was the shyness that Jiang Shaoxu had hoped to see.
"Hmm?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lü Cheng with some surprise.
"Is your harem so harmonious? I didn't realize it."
Is Lü Cheng really that capable?
“Harmony?” Lu Cheng looked puzzled.
Ding Yumin was alright. Because of her status as a victim, she considered herself as someone she had sold herself to him. Most of the time, she was just watching his love life. In other words, she didn't have any intention of "competing" for him. That's why she had the best relationship with Ye Xinxia.
But Mu Nujiao was different. At the beginning, the atmosphere between her and Ye Xinxia was extremely strange!
Despite their seemingly close sisterly bond, it sent chills down his spine time and again!
If it weren't for Ai Tutu, that silly girl who can't read the room, often acting as a peacemaker at home, the atmosphere here wouldn't be so harmonious!
Fools are often lucky; no one in this family considers Ai Tutu a rival, so this girl has indirectly helped him resolve the conflicts within his harem.
Moreover, conflicts are generally caused by unequal distribution of benefits.
The only "conflict of interest" in this family right now is him!
"Oh~" Jiang Shaoxu's expression was subtle.
"Wow, you really are an expert!"
Having lived together for so long, this guy hasn't touched a single one of them, yet he's been so good to them. This one-sided devotion makes these girls subconsciously feel indebted to Lü Cheng, so none of them are willing to do anything that would make things difficult for him.
As a spiritual mage, she probably doesn't know much about the actual situation regarding relationship problems.
Just like doing business, you need to invest to get a return.
Some people make a fortune with a small investment, while others lose everything.
Foresight and luck are extremely important, perhaps even the most important. Secondly, the method and timing of investment will also have different effects.
The same applies to relationships. Those so-called "simps" are just like idiots in the stock market who are delusional and think that their efforts will be rewarded. They deserve no sympathy no matter how badly they die.
Reality doesn't show leniency to those who lose badly or who are pitiful.
Therefore, people who are successful in the business world simply don't have the kind of romantic mindset that's portrayed in movies and TV dramas.
They can handle both overt and covert attacks in the shopping mall with ease, how could they possibly not be able to deal with a little girl?
Even if they are, it's all an act, just a way to add some spice to their relationship.
Like Lü Cheng, he knew very well how to perfectly resolve these emotional issues, but he didn't scheme too much; playing dumb at the right time was also very important.
After all, Lü Cheng was a powerful mind mage, and he knew exactly what these young girls were thinking and feeling. There was nothing he couldn't handle.
His apparent clumsiness and shamelessness were all intentional on Lu Cheng's part.
Because he knew how to make these girls helpless against him, yet unable to let go of him.
"I don't know if they were lucky or unlucky," Jiang Shaoxu said inexplicably.
"What do you think?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Me?" Jiang Shaoxu picked up the Dark Moon Demon Dragon in her arms.
"I'm not sure what they think, but I'm not at a loss."
Relationships need nurturing and maintenance; otherwise, they will fade and disappear at the slightest setback.
Lu Cheng was clearly good at manipulating emotions, making these girls gradually become emotionally dependent on him.
If you call him a scumbag, he really is a scumbag.
But there's no denying that this guy is a good person.
Because he understands respect.
Unlike the playboys she had met before, Lü Cheng was not frivolous, nor did he intend for these girls to lose everything without him, or even be unable to achieve the most basic independence.
On the contrary, he supports their independence and respects their choices, just like an elder in the family, providing them with guidance and assistance.
It's a really strange feeling; he's a jerk that's hard to hate.

……
time flies.
Since Zhuoyuan returned, Mu Nujiao has been further provoked. Her already diligent cultivation has become even more frantic. In the past few months, she has only appeared occasionally, and always to spar with Lü Cheng.
Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumin are in similar situations to before, after all, their circumstances are special.
Ai Tutu was unusually diligent, not for the academy competition, but because Lu Cheng would only help her hatch the dragon egg she had after she reached a high level.
It must be either a mind-based ability, allowing direct mental communication, or a summoning ability, allowing communication through a contract. Otherwise, no matter how small this little dragon cub is, it's still a dragon!
An accident could happen if you're not careful.
Finally, there are the newly joined sisters, Liu Xian and her sister.
After Lü Cheng's explanation, Xin Xia and the other girls learned about the tragic experiences of the two sisters and accepted their existence. Lü Cheng also used his connections to give the two sisters a new identity, which can be considered as a farewell to their past human identities.
Moreover, with Ximu's help, Liu Xian and Liu Ru obtained a large number of demon souls and have now successfully advanced to the commander level.
Then, there's the monarch-level soul that Lü Cheng needs.
This is a bit troublesome, because monarch-level demons have too many ways to protect themselves. Although the Silver Sky Lord under Ximu can easily defeat ordinary monarchs, defeating them and killing them are two different things.
Monarch-level demons aren't stupid. Once they realized they were no match for the Silver Sky Lord, they simply ran away and didn't bother to confront him head-on.
Finally, with the help of the Holy Lord and Zhou Lan, Xi Mu, along with the Silver Sky Lord, managed to kill a legitimate monarch.
Zhou Lan was tricked into going to the Dark Dimension by the Holy Lord!
Or rather, it's not exactly a lie. After all, Zhou Lan likes quiet, and the Dark Dimension is indeed quiet. Moreover, in the Dark Dimension, Zhou Lan can quickly restore his power by absorbing and transforming dark energy.
Most importantly, thanks to the contract with Lü Cheng, Zhou Lan can return to the magic plane at any time!
Although once back in the magic plane, the demon's power will be restricted by the contract, returning him to the same level as Lü Cheng, the power restored in the dark plane can be briefly brought back to the magic plane!
Simply put, Lü Cheng opened a dark portal in the magical dimension, allowing the Holy Lord and his allies to launch attacks from the other side of the portal!
The demon can't come over, but the demon's attacks can!
……
Pearl Academy.
The nomination competition for the World University Competition is in full swing. Although Mo Fan did not receive votes from Hangzhou and Zhu Meng, he still participated in the nomination competition after Lingling told him that the University Competition could obtain rare resources that money could not buy.
"Dean Xiao, do you think I can participate in the nomination competition?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked.
Dean Xiao was taken aback. "You? The nomination contest?"
"Don't think I don't know. You're already the designated captain of the national team, and you have more votes than you can use. What's the point of you fighting for this?"
“It’s not enough,” Lü Cheng shrugged.
Dean Xiao's eye twitched. "You don't mean to bring Yu Mian along, do you? Her situation is special; she can't participate in this kind of competition."
“It’s not Yu Mian.” Lü Cheng shook his head.
“She can’t perfectly control her power yet, so I don’t plan to expose her, and she doesn’t want to either.”
Ding Yumin didn't want to cause him any trouble, so she just wanted to stay quietly at home, work hard to cultivate, and strive to master her own mental magic as soon as possible.
"That is..." Dean Xiao asked in confusion.
“Jiang Shaoxu contacted me before and said she was one vote short, asking if I had any spare votes. I gave her some. Now Mu Nujiao has won one vote at school, and her family will try to get her another vote, so that's two votes. I need to give her two more votes,” Lu Cheng said.
"Is that enough?" Dean Xiao said.
Lu Cheng has eight ballots. Besides the four he needs, he has three that he has already sent out, so he still has one left.
"I also need to get two votes for my wife in the capital, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate," Lü Cheng said seriously.
"..." Dean Xiao.
People say that all men are brothers, but do you think all men are wives?
……
The nomination competition proceeded as usual, and Dean Xiao finally agreed to Lü Cheng's inclusion. After all, he knew very well that if he hadn't agreed, Lü Cheng would probably have resorted to some special means.
For example, Ding Yumin could participate!
