Realm of the Night God

From the moment Goatee Man stood up, he finally acknowledged Yang Haoran and the others.

In the pavilion, the four of them sat in different directions. Ye Zhiqiu was still drinking by himself, while Goatee Man ignored Ye Zhiqiu and his gaze seemed to be on Yang Haoran, but he was also looking at Bai Xue unintentionally.

"I don't know how to adress this big brother?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Goatee Man's face showed a surprised expression. He first looked at the drinking Ye Zhiqiu, then his gaze returned to Yang Haoran.

"Didn't he tell you about me?"

The "he" Goatee Man mentioned was of course Ye Zhiqiu.

"Elder brother Ye has mentioned you, but he didn't tell us your name," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Goatee Man seemed a bit unhappy.

"Hmph, either he has completely forgotten my name, or he has mixed me up with the other four brothers."

He had thought that Ye Zhiqiu had already told the two of them about himself, but the result was quite different from what he had imagined, making him feel a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable.

But at this time, he didn't even think about another problem - he also didn't know much about Ye Zhiqiu. If Ye Zhiqiu hadn't introduced himself before entering the manor, he would have also forgotten Ye Zhiqiu's name.

"Hehe, you know what kind of person Elder Brother Ye is. He's immersed in alcohol all day long, and his mind is never clear, so..."

Yang Haoran didn't continue the sentence, but he believed Goatee Man could understand.

"Forget it, I don't want to argue with a drunkard about this kind of thing. My friends call me Second Boss, you two siblings can also address me as such."

Goatee Man was afraid that the two of them wouldn't understand why his friends called him Second Boss, so he continued to explain, "I have five brothers who share the same aspirations as me. Although we are not blood brothers, our feelings are stronger than that of real brothers. I'm the second eldest, and I'm also the boss of this Cloud Mist Manor, so my friends call me Second Boss."

Yang Haoran's face showed an "I see" expression, and at this time, Bai Xue smiled at Yang Haoran and said, "Brother, can you not be so stingy and put your cigarettes on the table?"

Hearing this, Yang Haoran gave an embarrassed smile to this Second Boss, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. But before he could give it to Second Boss, Bai Xue snatched the cigarette from his hand.

"Second Brother, here, have a cigarette."

Bai Xue smiled as she took a cigarette from the pack and handed it to Second Boss. Second Boss had just put out his cigarette, and he didn't really want to smoke again, but hearing Bai Xue's alluring voice, he still smiled and accepted the cigarette.

Bai Xue's service was very considerate. After Second Boss accepted the cigarette, she immediately took the lighter and lit it for him.

Faced with this situation, Second Boss found it even harder to refuse. He accepted Bai Xue's service with a full smile and lit the cigarette.

Bai Xue only gave a cigarette to Second Boss, as for Yang Haoran and Ye Zhiqiu, she didn't intend to give them any.

"What about mine?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"You're not allowed to smoke. I hope you can live a few more years. If you die, what am I going to do?"

Bai Xue's tone changed, no longer the alluring and seductive one she used with Second Boss. Instead, she sounded a bit impatient, looking just like a sister who hates her brother smoking and forbids him from smoking too much.

"Come on, Shani sister, a few more cigarettes won't kill me. Although you two siblings have suppressed the fluctuations of your own power, I know you are not ordinary people. For people like us with special powers, smoking does have an impact, but the impact is not that great. Ordinary people dare to smoke, so why can't we?"

Second Boss said with a smile.

"Second Boss is right, a few cigarettes won't kill us. Don't worry too much."

Yang Haoran snatched the cigarette from Bai Xue's hand with a smile. Bai Xue was very reluctant, but still let Yang Haoran take the cigarette from her hand.

"Smoke and die, you deserve it!"

Yang Haoran didn't mind Bai Xue's angry words at all. He first took out a cigarette and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu, then lit one for himself.

Seeing Yang Haoran and Ye Zhiqiu both smoking the same cigarettes as him, Second Boss seemed quite satisfied, and his vigilance gradually began to decrease.

Moreover, the more Second Boss looked at Yang Haoran, the more he liked him. Although Yang Haoran's appearance was ordinary, he gave Second Boss a very good impression.

The reason for this change in Second Boss's attitude towards Yang Haoran was not only because of Bai Xue, his sister. Although he hadn't seen Bai Xue's appearance yet, just hearing her alluring voice was enough to make him infatuated.

Another reason was that Yang Haoran had taken a very humble posture in front of him, like a servant, which satisfied his vanity.

Just as this Second Boss was starting to develop a fondness for Yang Haoran, something unexpected happened that Yang Haoran didn't anticipate.

The sorcery enchantment technique Yang Haoran had cultivated had been dormant for a long time, but at this moment, it was unexpectedly triggered by the presence of this Second Boss!

Not only did he not suffer any backlash, but his enchantment technique had also improved further, which meant that the target in front of him, Second Boss, had fallen for the enchantment.

Although everything was going according to Yang Haoran's plan so far, the fact that the target had triggered his cultivated enchantment technique was completely beyond his expectations.

Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged, still maintaining his kind and amiable smile, but he was a bit surprised inwardly.

This step was not part of his plan, because the enchantment technique was not something the cultivator could control, the chance of triggering it was extremely low, so he never even considered including it in his plan.

However, the target triggering the enchantment technique was a good thing for Yang Haoran, because once the target fell under the enchantment, their vigilance towards him would decrease, making the next step of the plan easier to carry out.

"Tell me, what exactly are you here for? I don't believe you're just here to wish me a happy new year, that's too childish a lie," Second Boss said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yang Haoran gave an embarrassed smile.

"Well... hehe, I didn't expect Second Boss to see through it so quickly."

Second Boss looked pleased with himself. "If I didn't have this keen eye, all these years would have been a waste. Shani has good judgment, she saw through me at a glance."

As he said this, Second Boss shifted his gaze to Bai Xue, his smile now carrying a more suggestive meaning.

"Hehe, Shani, your brother is a bit shy. Why don't you tell me, what exactly are you two here for? Is there something your big brother can help with?"

As Second Boss spoke, he deliberately leaned towards Bai Xue's direction. The canonical source for this content: M|V|L2EMPYR.

Seeing Second Boss lean in, the corners of Bai Xue's mouth under her mask curved up into an alluring smile, but her body shifted slightly towards Yang Haoran's position.

Bai Xue's reaction displeased Second Boss a bit. If he hadn't been under the influence of Bai Xue's enchantment technique, he might have already expressed his displeasure towards Yang Haoran.

"My brother and I did come to wish Second Brother a happy new year, but... besides that, we do have a small matter to discuss," Bai Xue said with a smile.

"Hehe, just as I expected. Go on, tell me what it is," Second Boss said after taking a drag of his cigarette. Although he still had a smile on his face, it was noticeably less bright than before.

Bai Xue noticed the change in Second Boss's expression. A trace of disgust flashed imperceptibly in her eyes, but the smile on her lips became even more seductive.

"Before coming here, we heard from Elder Brother Ye that Second Brother's strength is quite formidable. In the entire New Yang City, Second Brother is among the top elite. I admire Second Brother greatly."

Bai Xue did not state their purpose directly, but first lavished praise on Second Boss, her smile alluring and her eyes filled with adoration.

The slightly displeased Second Boss now felt his mood lighten up upon hearing Bai Xue's words.

"Your admiration for me is a bit too obvious. You can try to be a little more discreet," Second Boss said.

Hearing this, Bai Xue replied with a coquettish smile, "Why should I be discreet? Your strength is worthy of my sincere admiration."

Second Boss laughed happily at this, and Yang Haoran also smiled. The solitary drinking Ye Zhiqiu seemed to be getting a bit tired of it, but he still maintained his composure and simply increased the pace of pouring his drink.
