Chapter 721 - 717: Sucking Them Dry

Xu Wenwan was like a little lamb thrown into a wolf’s den, surrounded by a pack of hungry beasts.

Xu Wenwan feigned anger and slapped away a groping hand.

"You men are so impatient. You have no sense of romance at all."

These men didn’t understand anything about romance. All they knew was that they were desperate.

The second-in-command swept Xu Wenwan up and placed her on the table. As he pulled away, he took a deep breath. "You smell amazing."

Xu Wenwan fought back her disgust. These men reeked of sweat and were ugly to boot. Out of the dozen or so of them, only two were even remotely easy on the eyes.

But even they weren’t good enough to catch Xu Wenwan’s eye.

Seeing the man who held her about to pull his hands back, she grabbed them, her smile bewitching.

"You can’t just take advantage of me and then leave. There’s no such thing as a free lunch."

"I know what you’re all thinking. I have just one condition. If you agree to it, I’ll satisfy you all."

At this, the wolves’ blood began to boil.

As Xu Wenwan spoke, she was mentally counting the seconds. ’In five seconds, I’ll have the system start absorbing their luck. This time, I’ll have it figure out a way to keep them on their feet for a few extra seconds so they only collapse after I’ve left.’

The system agreed.

As long as there was luck to be had, it was an agreeable system.

And so, Xu Wenwan went through them one by one, letting them grope her as she did.

But she didn’t care.

Once the luck of the dozen or so men had been completely drained, Xu Wenwan ruthlessly shoved them away. The men, not knowing what was happening, suddenly felt as if all their strength had vanished, and they collapsed to the ground.

Without giving them so much as a second glance, Xu Wenwan opened the courtyard gate and swaggered away.

After she left, she got a potion similar to the Enchanting Fragrance from her system.

She hid by the road, lying in wait for men who were alone. Whenever she saw one, she would approach, spray him twice with the perfume, then guide him to the side to absorb his luck.

The man would be left in a daze as his luck was siphoned away.

Xu Wenwan was busy for the entire day.

The system ate very well; it was the most satisfying meal it had ever had. But the luck from all these men combined didn’t even come close to a fraction of Leng Yuan’s.

After all, luck had tiers. No matter how much low-tier luck you gathered, it was still low-tier; it could never become the kind of one-in-a-million luck that Leng Yuan possessed.

It couldn’t help but urge Xu Wenwan to hurry up and make her move soon.

Afraid the system would unbind from her, Xu Wenwan had no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, An Dongyang had gone inside and announced he was there to take Old Nine away.

The person he spoke to simply gave him a huge eye-roll and refused to release the man.

An Dongyang even brought up his status, but it was useless. The other party completely ignored him.

It was the first time An Dongyang had been publicly humiliated by people like this, and he was furious. "Do you have any idea who I am? My father is An Mingjiang!"

These words happened to be overheard by an official who was just walking in. He had originally come for an inspection, but upon hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and strode toward An Dongyang.

"What’s going on? Why is it so noisy in here?"

When the staff member saw who it was, his scalp tingled. He hurriedly explained the situation, and the official immediately barked at them.

"Nonsense! This is outrageous! Do you think this place is your home? How on earth does An Mingjiang educate his son? Call An Mingjiang right now and tell him to get over here immediately."

With the official’s order, the staff member didn’t dare to delay and immediately started looking up the phone number.

They might not have had much else there, but their records were exceptionally thorough. The staff member quickly found An Mingjiang’s number and dialed it directly.
