The King of Black Fog

Li Qianxia nodded, not sure whether she was affirming she understood or agreeing that "the key is being handsome".

"But it won't work," she said as if remembering, "the kind of girl my brother likes... anyway, your smiley face when meeting people won't even get a glance from him. Only someone as delicate and elegant as Qing Lan, who loves reading and even maintains a distance from others, would—"

"I'm a virgin," Chun Emperor said softly.

"Hmm?" Li Qianxia looked at her incredulously. This woman had such a good figure, at least a D, and was still a virgin? How could that be!

"I'm very innocent," Chun Emperor said, a bit shyly, under Li Qianxia's gaze.

Clearly an act.

"Even if you're a virgin, it won't work if you've dated men," Li Qianxia added a condition.

"I keep myself pure, never dated, never even held hands. Just because I like to smile, it can't be that it isn't possible, right?"

That sounded very familiar.

"Are you playing me?" Li Qianxia realized.

Chun Emperor looked at her, her eyes brimming with laughter, "I'm serious."

These four words gripped Li Qianxia's heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

She had an intuition that the other person wasn't lying.

"I would be happy to collaborate with your brother. After returning to reality, we could try a kiss, meet once, and genuinely get to know each other," Chun Emperor said softly.

Li Qianxia heard her own heart pounding.

"Where do you guys live?"

"Ming..."

"Qian Xia." Li Changzhou suddenly spoke up.

The faint mist from the coffee cup suddenly dispersed.

Li Qianxia came to her senses as if she finally emerged from a heavy fog. Sweat slid down her temple,a strand of hair sticking to her pale face.

Li Changzhou hadn't heard his sister's voice and saw her "busily eating," so he called out to her, only to find the mist dispersing and her chatting with Chun Emperor!

"What have you done to my sister?" Li Changzhou stood up, his eyes cold as he stared at Chun Emperor at the head of the table.

Chun Emperor crossed her arms, her chest puffed out.

"It's nothing bad," she said, her lips curving into a sly smile, "I wouldn't want to turn blood into gold."

Li Changzhou stared deeply at her and said, pausing after each word, "I advise you to not play any tricks, come at me with fights and killings if you must."

"Oh? What if I insist?" Chun Emperor asked curiously.

Li Changzhou didn't reply.

The dark mist sensed something, lowered its "head," aligning its "face" with Chun Emperor's, so close that when the dark mist rolled, its waves gently brushed against her cheek.

It stared at her.

Chun Emperor slightly furrowed her brow, feeling a chilling thrill throughout her body.

She instinctively stood up and left her seat.

With terror inside but barely maintaining a facade of control, she smiled and patted Li Qianxia's shoulder, "I'll come visit you in Ming City after I go back."

After she left, Li Qianxia covered her face with her hands and mumbled, "Brother, it's over."

"What happened?" Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan quickly approached, looking at her with concern.

"I've been seduced by beauty."

"..."

"I actually fell for a Beauty Trap!" she stomped her foot, disgruntled.

"..."

"You fell for Qing Lan's Beauty Trap before, and I even secretly laughed at you. Today I realized that indeed no beautiful woman is a good thing!"

"Qian Xia." Yang Qinglan put a hand on her right shoulder (Note: this isn't comforting).

Li Qianxia suddenly looked up and said to them both, "Sorry, brother, Qing Lan, I gave her our real address, but luckily, I also got some intelligence on her."

"What?" Li Changzhou asked curiously.

"She's a virgin."

"..." Li Changzhou placed a hand on her left shoulder, "Sister, 'she's a virgin' isn't intelligence, 'she must be a virgin' is."

"Hmm?" Yang Qinglan looked over.

"For example, for example!" Li Changzhou hurriedly explained.

Yang Qinglan let it go and comforted Li Qianxia, "It's okay to know. In the real world, 'Honey Trap World' can be opened anytime and as long as she dares show up, your brother can have Wang Donghua lock her down."

Li Changzhou also nodded in agreement, not comforting, but really feeling so.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing to enter the tiger's den to catch the cub," he said.

"So you mean—" Li Qianxia perked up, "It's not that I fell for a Beauty Trap, but she fell for my brother's Beauty Trap?"
