Chapter 468 - Selection (2/2)

”Aaagh~” Yang Xin yawned in an unladylike manner. Her arms stretched up high in the air, tugging on her robe to push her large bust in tandem before she collapsed on the desk once again. Behind her was a small alchemical pot, or a cauldron if defined by a more traditional term. With the cauldron still giving off slight steam, Yang Xin pulled out a mirror and gazed her face through the reflective surface. Unable to find any blemish on her face, including the accursed eye bags, the lilac-haired woman smiled in satisfaction.
”This alchemical concoction... if spread wide could cause our revenue to soar. I'll let the president know that we need to buy all the Purple Haze Grass present in the market~” Yang Xin muttered in a chipper tone before recalling the contents of the letter sent by the youth named Nie Li.
”Well, once he enters the Alchemist Association through recruitment drive, we can try and make contact with his master. Well, if he doesn't have the talents required to attract an alchemical expert, we will have to move with the assumption that the kid gained a fortune in terms of other recipes that he may be hiding... hehe,” Yang Xin giggled, ”Good thing we could get on good terms with the strongest within the city~”
She definitely wasn't annoyed by Nik's constant ignorance of her existence. Well, they did have a good time the other day, but after that, they still needed to have a good chat at the very least. And with the rumors spreading within the main half of the city... she needed to do something before such rumors affected the Alchemist Association, too.
”Well, we can clear things up in the auction tomorrow.”

”You all are a bully! Every single one of you!”
Nie Yu complained as she sat on the chair. Her unruliness knew no bounds as aside from Nik behind her butt, acting as the cushion of her chair, the twin milfs knelt on the ground. The two were aware of Nie Yu's antics. Well, a part of it was Xiao Yun's act of constantly spoiling her niece and diverting from their mother's teaching. Had Xiao Ming gotten her hand on Nie Yu completely, she would have turned into another Xiao Yun. Now, Nie Yu was an unleashed monster that was already appreciative of Nik's touch, much to Xiao Ming's distress.
”Well, hmm, as long as my man didn't force himself on you two... but now that I understand what happened, it would have been a good thing if he did turn you into sex-crazed—”
”Now, now,” Nik chuckled. He didn't have the best of the family since his origins were absolutely fucked due to his blood parent's doings, but Nik did know that a mother like Xiao Ming, in some cases, is a godsend fortune that needs to be treasured. She is the kind of mother who would teach her son all about sex ed and then place a pack of condoms in his hands before ordering a hooker. Of course, if she were to be a single mother, she might have taken the role of a hooker, too.
”But—”
Nie Yu wished to vent her entire self as Nik leaned to kiss the nape of her neck and whispered softly, ”Why don't you save some for tomorrow? As my disciple, we'll be traveling in a different carriage completely. How about I help you vent there?”
”What about now?” Nie Yu frowned as Nik smiled and hugged her from behind and stood up before letting her down with a peck on top of her head.
”Now, as they say, the man of the household needs to fulfill certain responsibilities. These two are my responsibilities now~” Nik helped Ming and Yun up as they both instantly embraced him from each side.
”B-but... dad and uncle will come soon!”
”Oh, they won't ask anything about the two. And why should we care about them anymore?” Nik inquired with a shrug. Still, Nie Yu had received much love from her father but the moment Ming smiled and gingerly pecked Nik's jaws, Nie Yu snorted and bolted out of the room.
”Well, she does get teased quite easily... but yeah, I have to take your family into consideration before taking the three of you away... good thing, I have quite a few ways.”
Nik smiled devilishly. Although he had planned to take Ming and Yun as his women instead of any other excuse, he was still scheduled to stay in this world and instead of hanging onto a stupid thread of pride, Nik fully intended to push the blame for the trio's leaving to their husbands' heads instead. It would also serve to deeply scar Nie Li's mind and pull the last bit of important information from him. His plans about Nie Li were obviously hidden from Xiao Yun since he had practically arranged the best healer to mend any psychological scars— Ray, the Succubus.
