Chapter 698: Chapter 696: I Hope You Can Be Attracted to Me!
Yan Ze came out of the recording studio, donned a pair of grayish-blue sunglasses, and entered the guests’ lounge assigned to his group.
Sally was leaning against a cushion, half-reclining on a comfortable sofa longue, munching on a Divine Jade Clear Calabash. When she was hungry, her temper tended to become irritable, but now, having eaten her fill, she felt refreshed and energized. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Disgust level 0%, joy level 66%!
So, pregnant women absolutely must not go hungry… Yan Ze understood how to manage her moods now.
Right then, a bunch of golden grapes appeared in his hand, and he walked towards Sally.
Sally, with her keen nose, caught the scent of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and as soon as she saw the golden grapes in Yan Ze’s hand, the calabash in hers immediately lost its sweetness.
[Host! Eat the grapes!!] Xiaomei’s voice rang out.
Sally paused and asked, [Xiaomei, you’re done updating?]
Xiaomei replied happily, [Yes, host. The Main System gave me a substantial data packet, but upon opening it, I entered an updating state. After reading the data, the updating process ended automatically.]
[…It’s not related to Yan Ze? Wasn’t it him who forced you to update?]
[It’s not related, the data packet was a gift from the Main System to Xiaomei, 000 is just the Supervision System.]
[Is it such a coincidence? Right as you went into the update, he and I almost rolled the sheets.]
[Almost rolled? So, you didn’t roll?]
[Mm-hmm~]
[Is it because the host lacks charm? Let Xiaomei check if there are any elixirs that can enhance charm.]
[…Xiaomei, you’re insulting me!]
[Huh? Xiaomei insulting the host?]
[Saying I lack feminine charm, that is an insult to me.]
[…Does Xiaomei even need to insult you? The host can’t even handle 000, what charm is there to speak of?]
[I can’t handle him? Joking! I just haven’t exerted myself yet.]
[Let’s bet, host. If you can manage to handle 000 within two days, Xiaomei will pay out of pocket to return to Beast World. If you can’t manage to]
[There is no ‘can’t manage to’!]
[Alright, host. First, eat the golden grapes in his hand.]
Sally first cast her eyes down, then when she raised them again, they were as enchanting as a begonia that had not yet fully awoken, gazing at Yan Ze, “Give me the grapes!”
Yan Ze looked at Sally with surprise, seeing her joy level shoot straight up to 100%!
He took off his glasses, astonished by Sally, and then put them back on… still 100%!
Impossible!
Her emotion transitioned too quickly.
Was it real, or fake?
Seeing him stunned, Sally softly asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Yan Ze removed his sunglasses, “Yanyan, how do you interpret the saying ‘a woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets’?”
“Just as it sounds, the heart of a woman is unpredictable and unfathomable,” Sally replied.
Yan Ze crushed the pair of glasses in his hand, “Mmm.”
Sally looked at the ‘glasses’ ashes,’ “I just realized your glasses look a lot like Welly’s. Do you know him well?”
Yan Ze said, “We’ve had a few dealings. Back when he was Jian, I gave him several pairs.”
“So, you’re saying most of the time Welly wears glasses, it’s likely he’s Jian.”
“I can’t be certain. They share the same soul and it’s hard to tell apart.”
“Do all of your glasses have special functions?”
“Some do, some don’t.”
“First, give me the grapes.”
Yan Ze approached Sally and handed her the grapes.
But the moment Sally took them, she grabbed his wrist, forcefully pulled, and laid down… he was now lying on top of her, their pose suggestively charged with hormones surging.
Sally took a grape from the bunch in his hand, held it between her lips and teeth, and teasingly flicked it with the tip of her tongue.
Yan Ze’s sexy Adam’s apple bobbed, “Is playing with me fun for you?”
A ‘pop’—Sally’s mouthful of golden grape burst, a trail of gold liquid slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth…
Yan Ze could no longer resist and stooped to lick and kiss!
Yet, the more he licked, the thirstier he became!
Sally’s legs were wrapped around his waist, pulling him fiercely into herself.
“Aren’t you happy?”
A certain rise below made Sally’s eyes grow more entangling and flirtatious, [Xiaomei, isn’t this in the bag?]
Without waiting for Xiaomei to respond, she saw Yan Ze pull away and quickly step out, leaving the golden grapes on the armrest of the sofa.
[Host, the cooked duck has flown away!] Xiaomei giggled.
Sally chuckled, [I’m working, it’s fine to tease, but we can’t really do it, can we?]
She picked up the golden grapes and continued to eat, [Delicious! What kind of grapes are these?]
[Fruit of the World Tree!] Xiaomei replied.
[What did you say?] Sally was surprised, [The World Tree can bear fruit?]
[Yes, host. There are very few World Trees that can bear fruit, and each fruit can nurture a new World Tree. You can imagine how immense the energy contained within is, eat more!!]
[Such good things should definitely be eaten more. I have to eat him out of house and home.] Sally slowly narrowed her eyes.
Yan Ze stood in front of a corridor window, fiercely smoking, suppressing the restless blood within him.
He Cheng came out of the rest area, yawning, and upon seeing Yan Ze looking frustrated, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “Really can’t handle it, huh? Want me to give you a little something nice?”
“Scram!” Yan Ze violently stubbed out his cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.
“This boring variety show, if it weren’t for you forcing me to come, I’d be frolicking in the land of beauties right now.” He Cheng leaned against the windowsill, looking out at the distant blue sky. He took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it in his mouth, “How come my team got switched to Han Yi, and Hua Siqi and Gu Yizhou paired up together?”
Yan Ze remained silent.
With the lollipop in his mouth, He Cheng puffed out his cheeks,”Could it be you’re not able, and you can’t stand seeing your buddies happy?”
“You’re able, yet how come you haven’t left any progeny behind till now?” Yan Ze replied and then walked toward the rest area.
He Cheng looked incredulous, “That’s because I’m skilled; I haven’t knocked anyone up until now!”
Yan Ze didn’t look back as he said, “Exactly, it proves that you’re not able!”
“You’re able, you’ve got the guts, let’s see if you can manage to have one.” He Cheng crunched the lollipop in his mouth to pieces with a ‘crack, crack.’
…
After finishing a bunch of golden grapes, Sally felt sleepy and simply lay down to rest.
When Yan Ze came in, he paused to look at Sally’s sleeping form.
Nian Fang had just finished a meeting and rushed over with some documents in her hand, “Sister Su”
She abruptly stopped speaking!
Yan Ze waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Nian Fang glanced at Sally on the couch, still decently dressed, and said to Yan Ze, “In twenty minutes, I’ll come to call Sister Su for makeup and changing clothes.”
Yan Ze sat down on a single sofa, opened up the system’s light screen, and began to quickly deal with the backlog of messages.
A string of text materialized in the air—[Why have you invalidated the host’s talents?]
Yan Ze didn’t even look, “My world, my rules.”
Xiaomei—[If you continue like this, you’ll push the host further away. She hates being forced, except during sex; the more she says no, the more it means yes.]
Yan Ze finally raised his eyes to the text in the air, “So, all of her Beast Husbands are just spoiling her, even if she’s wrong, they go along with her.”
Xiaomei—[The sole purpose of a male pursuing a female is to reproduce. The same is true for a female.]
Although Yan Ze was talking to Xiaomei, his fingers never stopped moving on the light screen, “If that’s the case, how do you explain He Cheng’s behavior?”]
Xiaomei—[He’s innately sterile! Not even the Offspring System can save him.]
Yan Ze glanced at He Cheng, who was peeking through the doorway, “You really don’t have what it takes!”
He Cheng: “…” He really was just excess baggage here!
…
After a short nap, Sally found her talents had also recovered.
Divine Power roamed through her body, and that sense of freedom of controlling power returned; she couldn’t begin to describe how comfortable it felt.
[Xiaomei, did Yan Ze seal my talents?]
[It wouldn’t be accurate to say sealed, more like temporarily invalidated.]
[Invalidated? How is that done?]
[It’s like positive and negative poles; only when connected they form a circuit that has electricity. If disconnected, it leads to a short circuit. Using energy, 000 has created a temporary block inside the host’s body, preventing the host’s Divine Power from connecting to her Spiritual Sense, thus creating a short circuit, making it appear as if the talents have been sealed.]
[Amazing!] Although a bit annoyed, she had to admit, 000 was indeed a very capable and powerful system host.
Nian Fang entered again and asked Sally, “Sister Su, it’s time to change and put on makeup.”
“Okay,” Sally replied.
The “First Sight·Candlelight Dinner” segment wasn’t filmed yesterday due to the live broadcast crash, and Sally went to sleep afterward.
The segment was made up for at the racecourse.
Everyone attended the dinner in the same attire as the day before.
At the long dining table, a man and a woman sat across from each other, with each team clearly set apart.
Sally’s opposite was Yan Ze.
He had taken off his jacket, and was just wearing a shirt, looking somewhat lazy as he spoke with He Cheng by his side.
Facing He Cheng was Han Yi.
Sally greeted her proactively, “Hello, my name is Sally. You’re very pretty; you’re all-natural, aren’t you?”
In this world, artificially beautified women had become the norm, making natural beauty a rarity.
This topic was explosive!
Suddenly, cameras zoomed in on Sally, particularly on Han Yi, shooting a close-up.
Looking into the camera, Han Yi’s face, with its delicate makeup, revealed a confident and flawless smile, “Of course, it’s natural. My mother taught me from a young age that beauty is not in the face but in the heart. It’s better to refine the heart than the face.”
Admiration filled Sally’s eyes, completely winning over Han Yi. After that, the two of them got along much more comfortably, at least Han Yi wouldn’t give Sally the cold shoulder. She even shared some shrimp patties from her plate with Sally, which she didn’t like.
Sally happily accepted them since she had a big appetite.
Yan Ze poured Sally a glass of wine and then picked up his own. Everyone’s eyes turned to him.
As if immersed in the glow of stars, his eyes tenderly met Sally’s. “I hope you’ll be moved by me!”
Though the words were somewhat cheesy, they were a mandatory line in every episode of “Heartbeat Explosion.” But coming from Yan Ze, they were exceptionally deep and heartfelt, as if one could hear the beating of a heart.
Sally was speechless for a moment, [Xiaomei, his acting is so good! I almost believed him for real!]
Xiaomei replied: [Host, is it possible that he’s being sincere?]
