"Is my ambition that big? I don’t think it’s big at all."

Situ Luoyun’s red lips curved slightly, and she smiled enchantingly, overwhelmingly charming.

"With Miss Situ’s half-step Innate strength, plus the renown of Zhonghai’s Zhu Yeqing, becoming the underground queen of Zhonghai shouldn’t be too difficult."

Ye Luo said indifferently.

"This place is divided into four districts. The underground power of the Eastern District currently lacks a leader, not enough to be a base, the Southern District is controlled by Nie Yuntian’s Yuntian Gang, the Western District is under the control of the Fang Family’s Wolf Gang, and the Northern District is under my control. However, the strength of the other powers is no weaker than mine, so just relying on my sister’s strength alone is not enough to deal with them."

Situ Luoyun detailed, her eyes sweeping toward Ye Luo.

"You think I can help you take them down?"

Picking up his glass, Ye Luo poured another drink, leisurely sipping.

"I believe you have the strength. What do you think? Is it a good deal?"

"Trading the underground world of Zhonghai for a beauty who compares to Daji in the flesh seems quite worthwhile."

Ye Luo downed the red wine in his glass in one go.

"Young Master Ye is agreeing, huh."

"The Fang Family and I have a score to settle, so I can help you out on that front. But I have a good relationship with the Nie Family, I’m not going to lay a hand on them."

"I know. Those two beauties of the Nie Family are very close to you. You have taken a fancy to the sisters, haven’t you?"

Situ Luoyun smiled seductively.

Ye Luo smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"I called you here for another matter as well," Situ Luoyun’s red lips parted again.

"What’s up?" Ye Luo’s gaze swept toward Situ Luoyun.

"The Wu Family has already sent the Poisonous Scorpion to Zhonghai, to take your head back to pay tribute to Wu Yingxiong."

"Poisonous Scorpion?"

Ye Luo was taken aback.

"The Poisonous Scorpion is an old figure in the underworld of a certain city, relying on the Wu Family to survive. This person is very strong, rumored to be a master of the Innate Realm, with extraordinary strength. Moreover, this person is cunning and ruthless, with plenty of underhanded moves. Countless people have died at his hands. He has now arrived in Zhonghai with his subordinates, clearly intending to make a move against you."

Situ Luoyun spoke calmly.

Hearing Situ Luoyun’s words, Ye Luo’s eyes rolled, shimmering with light.

"Can you find where they are?"

"You want to make the first move!"

"Since they’ve come all the way to Zhonghai to find me, I naturally have to give them a proper reception."

Ye Luo said, his lips curving into a cold smile.

"Once I find them, I’ll inform you. Do you need my help?"

"No need, Miss Situ. I’ve got other business, so I’ll be leaving first."

Putting down his glass, Ye Luo got up and walked towards the exit of the villa.

"The deal I mentioned before still stands, Young Master Ye. Won’t you consider it?"

"I will consider it, rest assured. This beauty here is definitely going to be mine."

Ye Luo walked up to Situ Luoyun, revealing a confident smile, then wrapped an arm around her head, bent down, and kissed her on the lips, chuckling evilly, "By the way, Miss Situ, your red wine is not bad."

After uttering these words, Ye Luo’s figure disappeared within the villa.

Situ Luoyun touched her red lips, her eyes sparkling with a lively expression, and a blush surfaced on her face.

Leaving Situ Luoyun’s villa, Ye Luo muttered the name "Poisonous Scorpion" under his breath, a cold look overtaking his face.

Zhonghai University.

It’s the biggest and most famous university in Zhonghai, housing tens of thousands of students.

At this moment, outside the Chinese Department building of Zhonghai University, a large crowd had gathered, consisting of students from other departments of the university.

Among the crowd were a dozen luxury sports cars, arranged into a huge heart shape, covered with bright, blooming red roses, numbering in the thousands.

On the ground in front of these cars, the roses were arranged to spell out the words: Han Li loves Liu Xiner.

In front of these words stood a young man in a white suit, hair slick and shiny, wearing a smile. His entire outfit was worth at least several hundred thousand—a clear sign of a rich young master. This was obviously a scene of a confession, and such an extravagant display shocked the entire Zhonghai University.

In an instant, thousands of Zhonghai University students gathered, with many female students becoming entranced by the luxurious and romantic spectacle, fantasizing about being the girl being confessed to, while male students looked on with envy.

"Xin’er, I, Han Li, like you!"

The young man in the white suit yelled through a megaphone at the classroom building.

At that moment, heads popped out of every window of the entire building, looking at the scene below and buzzing with discussion.

In one of the classrooms of this building, a group of students were glancing out the window, then at a girl in a school uniform seated at a desk. It was Liu Xiner herself.

"Xin’er, Han Li is declaring his love for you! Aren’t you going to take a look?"

"Yeah, it’s so romantic. I’m actually a bit jealous. That Han Li is really smitten with you, isn’t he? He’s been pursuing you for half a year at school."

"I heard that Han Li is the young master of the Han Group, a perfect match for you, Xin’er. I think the two of you are really well suited."

At this moment, a group of girls surrounded Liu Xiner, chattering nonstop, each of them wearing a look of immense envy.

"Alright, stop it, I don’t like that guy Han Li at all. He’s just delusional."

Liu Xiner frowned, a displeased look on her face.

"But Xin’er, the whole school is probably alarmed by Han Li’s confession by now. He’s down there waiting for you; you should at least go respond. Otherwise, Han Li might lose face."

A girl said, looking at Liu Xiner without being able to help herself.

"What do I care about his face? I didn’t ask him to stand down there. It’s so annoying."

Liu Xiner held her head, looking extremely distressed.

"Xin’er, ever since I saw you six months ago, I felt my heart skip a beat. I knew I had fallen deeply in love with you. Throughout the past half-year, the image of you has constantly haunted my mind. My love for you has reached the point where I can’t think of anything else. Without you, the rest of my life as Han Li would have no joy. Xin’er, be my girlfriend, and I will protect you with my life."

Han Li, holding the megaphone, launched into a passionate confession. His voice, amplified by the megaphone, echoed throughout the entire teaching building and entered Liu Xiner’s ears quite clearly.

"Ah... this is infuriating."

Liu Xiner pouted, speaking with a hint of headache.
