Manipulative Harem God



Lin Ruoxi's residence stood as a modern villa, boasting two imposing automatic front gates and a garage filled with an array of exotic cars.

Many of these luxurious vehicles had been bestowed upon her as gifts, now languishing in the confines of the garage, covered in a thin layer of dust.

Zhang Wei's attention was momentarily captivated by the gleaming silver Aston Martin, but for the time being, he parked the Bentley and followed Lin Ruoxi inside.

She was not particularly talkative, only speaking when necessary, her fatigue from the day's events apparent.

Not wasting any time, Lin Ruoxi led the way inside, her footsteps echoing in the spacious hallway.

"Xiaomei, please show Mr. Zhang to the guest room. He'll be staying the night," she instructed, her voice tinged with weariness from the day's events.

"Hm?" Zhang Wei's surprise was evident when Lin Ruoxi instructed a middle-aged woman named Guo Xiaomei to show him to the guest room.

Stepping forward, Guo Xiaomei greeted him with a warm smile. Her face bore slight wrinkles, and strands of gray hair were scattered amidst her locks. Though not particularly striking, her appearance carried a charm of its own.

Guo Xiaomei, with a warm smile, shook her head slightly, understanding Lin Ruoxi's demeanor. "Please don't mind Madam's mannerisms. It's just her way... She didn't mean any offense," she offered, struggling to find the right words to describe Lin Ruoxi's peculiar personality.

With a polite gesture, she asked if Zhang Wei would like something to eat before retiring for the night. Zhang Wei kindly declined, expressing his gratitude.

As Guo Xiaomei diligently cleaned the guest room, her eyes couldn't help but linger on Zhang Wei.

She couldn't ignore the fact that Lin Ruoxi had never brought a man home before, and his remarkable appearance only heightened her curiosity.

However, she kept her thoughts to herself, not daring to pry into matters that were not her concern.

With a polite smile, she gracefully made her exit from the room.

Zhang Wei found himself pleasantly surprised by Guo Xiaomei's impeccable service.

It was as if he had stepped back in time to the era of emperors, where every action and word held significance.

The maid's refined demeanor and old-world charm felt out of place in the modern setting, adding an unexpected layer of intrigue to the atmosphere.

Intrigued by Guo Xiaomei's background, Zhang Wei couldn't resist his curiosity and decided to inquire further before she departed. "May I ask, Guo Xiaomei, how long have you been in service to Lin Ruoxi and her family?" he inquired with genuine interest.

Guo Xiaomei's eyes twinkled with a hint of nostalgia as she paused before answering. "I had the honor of serving Lin Ruoxi's grandmother in the past, and now I have the privilege of serving Lin Ruoxi herself. I have been with the family for quite some time, as you can see," she replied, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy.

This revelation intrigued Zhang Wei further, prompting him to check Guo Xiaomei's status as she prepared to leave.

=====

======

Instantly, Zhang Wei's expression shifted, a hint of skepticism in his eyes. 'System, are you certain that these are her true stats?' he questioned, a tinge of doubt creeping into his voice.

[Host, have faith in my abilities. This woman possesses great strength. Normally, when encountering such an individual, you should abandon your plans and seek refuge in the mountains. However, rest assured, her spiritual roots have been damaged, rendering her unable to use her cultivation. Her vitality is gradually waning. Proceed with your plans without concern for her existence.]

'Hm? Interesting. So, what brings her here?' Zhang Wei inquired, his curiosity piqued.

[Given that her spiritual roots have been damaged by an external force, it is likely that she is being pursued by enemies and sought shelter in the city. If you require more information, host, it will cost you only one thousand villain points.]

Zhang Wei's lips quivered as he held back a curse. 'A thousand points? Isn't that unusually high?'

[*Wink* To obtain detailed information about her, the host would need to possess various interrelated knowledge that is currently unknown to the host. Hence, the total cost is set at one thousand points.]

'So, you're essentially raising the price to prevent me from knowing about her, even if I wanted to? Is that correct, system?' Zhang Wei remarked, a touch of amusement lacing his words.

[Bingo, host! But remember, there would be no reward for you.]

Zhang Wei nodded, deep in thought. 'You do realize that you're digging your own grave, don't you, system?' He hadn't forgotten that the system still relied on his assistance, and sooner or later, he would come face to face with the spirit of the system.

Continuously provoking him seemed to be a dangerous path for the system to tread.

When the time came, Zhang Wei vowed to make the system regret its audacity, leaving its metaphorical backside as red as a swollen tomato.

[The system is a bit of a masochist :P]

"..."

"Add shameless to that list," Zhang Wei suggested with a sigh, his gaze sweeping across the guest room.

It held a simple setup, a bed in the center adorned with a crisp white quilt. While it appeared like an ordinary room, Zhang Wei had not come here to sleep.

Well, he had indeed come here to sleep, but certainly not alone.

Inside the lavishly decorated master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Lin Ruoxi emerged from the steam-filled bathroom.

Droplets of water clung to her flawless skin, creating a shimmering effect that accentuated her natural beauty.

Her long, wet hair cascaded down her back, revealing the nape of her neck, while a delicate pink towel loosely wrapped around her curves, teasingly hinting at the seductive silhouette beneath.

As Lin Ruoxi moved gracefully across the room, the towel threatened to unravel, barely containing her generous curves.

Her slender legs, sculpted and alluring, glowed under the soft glow of the bedroom's ambient lighting. She exuded an irresistible allure, a potent combination of elegance and sensuality.

In a swift motion, Lin Ruoxi shed the towel and slipped into a nightdress, her body now adorned in a whimsical ensemble of a cute panda-themed pattern.

The unexpected sight of the usually composed and serious Lin Ruoxi wearing such a playful attire added an intriguing layer of complexity to her persona.

This hidden side of her personality, a fondness for cute and endearing things, was a well-guarded secret that only a select few were privy to.

Just as Lin Ruoxi completed her transformation and prepared to settle into bed, a distinct 'click' shattered the calm ambiance of the room.

Her body flinched, a mixture of surprise and alarm flooding her features.

Despite the door being securely locked, it was forced open, intruding upon her sanctuary. Her eyes darted towards the door, anticipating the unexpected arrival of her maid, Xiaomei.

"Xiaom—!" Lin Ruoxi began, her voice catching in her throat.

But before she could utter another word, her entire being stiffened, her expression frozen in a mixture of disbelief and shock.
