Chapter 232 - 225: Gold-Rimmed Glasses are a Man-Slayer

Chapter 232: Chapter 225: Gold-Rimmed Glasses are a Man-Slayer

While Brother Jingfu stormed the Celestial Wolf Base alone, wreaking havoc...

Back in the RV...

Mengde stared at the woman before him, still reeling after what felt like an eternity.

’The resemblance... It’s uncanny!’

Delicate features, a slender figure!

A full bosom and a perky rear!

Her legs weren’t wrapped in alluring black stockings.

Instead, she wore a pair of very form-fitting jeans, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.

On her feet was a pair of high heels, perfect for some... exercise from behind...

Standing there, she radiated an aura of both aloofness and maturity!

She sparked an intense desire to conquer!

If Aunt Cheng hadn’t gently tugged at him from the side...

...there was no telling what impulsive act he might have committed toward this woman who was at once both familiar and a stranger.

A single sentence from Aunt Cheng was like a bucket of cold water dumped straight over his head.

It snapped him back to reality in an instant.

"Darling, is your little friend... getting restless again...?"

Uh...

Mengde felt a little awkward, having been found out.

But thankfully, Cheng Ying knew how to help her husband save face.

Otherwise, he would have been utterly embarrassed in front of her good friend, Lina...

[System Evaluation: A rare, top-tier specimen of a mature and sophisticated woman!]

[Meets system requirements. Host, please add this Goddess to her exclusive catalogue as soon as possible!]

That’s right. The woman standing before Mengde was none other than...

...Lina’s good friend, Gao Lan!

The very woman he had just rescued from the Celestial Wolf Base!

For a mighty Tier Eight Superpower User like him, breaking into a minor base guarded by a mere Tier Six Superpower User...

...was a piece of cake!

So he made his move at the crack of dawn.

He didn’t even need anyone else to lift a finger.

He handled it all by himself!

What’s more, he rescued Gao Lan without alerting a single soul.

In fact, if it weren’t for Da Mimi and the other three women’s overwhelming desire to "relax"...

...he could have rescued Gao Lan even sooner.

Luckily, after he completely satisfied the four women, he didn’t let it delay the important business of the rescue.

It just took quite a toll on his studly hips!

Those four women were just so... relentless!

After rescuing Gao Lan, Mengde sent Brother Jingfu to deal with the Celestial Wolf Base.

’Did they really think they could get away with imprisoning one of my women?’

’How could I let that slide without making them pay a price?’

And a small base like Celestial Wolf didn’t require him to personally wipe it out.

Brother Jingfu alone was more than enough!

As for Mengde himself... he had more important things to do!

But then again, he truly never expected to see that iconic "man-killer with gold-rimmed glasses" type of woman in the Otherworld.

If the name of the Gao Lan before him wasn’t just one character different from the name of that sophisticated beauty from his past life...

...he might have actually believed she was the very same woman he knew!

While Mengde was lost in thought, Gao Lan, across from him, was also observing the man before her.

The man who had saved her from a living hell.

To be honest, last night, when Gao Lan had overheard the three from Celestial Wolf planning to use her to threaten her two brothers...

...she had truly fallen into despair.

It wasn’t despair for her own fate, but worry for her two brothers!

The only people she had ever truly cared about were her two brothers.

Especially her eldest brother, who had worked so hard to raise her.

The last thing she ever wanted was to see her brothers come to harm.

She didn’t want them to worry about her, either.

Unfortunately, she had failed.

She was even about to become a burden to them.

That was why last night, Gao Lan had seriously considered suicide.

But by sheer coincidence, just as she was about to end her own life, Mengde had come in.

And he saved her on the spot.

So now, Gao Lan was filled with immense gratitude toward the man before her.

Most importantly, this man was going to continue helping her.

"Mengde, thank you!!!"

Gao Lan said with great sincerity.

Mengde could see the emotion welling up in the sophisticated woman’s eyes.

If she weren’t being so reserved and holding back in front of her good friend...

...he suspected she might have thrown her arms around him in a hug.

"It’s nothing. Rescuing you was what Lina asked me to do."

"She went to a lot of trouble to persuade me to save you..."

"Right, Sister Lina?"

Mengde’s words were laden with hidden meaning.

Never mind Da Mimi, Cheng Ying, and Fei’er, who had been "communicating deeply" with Mengde for a long time.

Even Zhao Lina, who was just called out, understood in an instant, despite having only been "communicating" with him for a few days.

The man might have said "persuade," but he was actually referring to how the four of them had "battled" him together last night.

Thinking back on it now, even she thought it was insane.

She felt that after their "communication" was over, she was... a little swollen down there...

Fei’er and the others were right.

This man’s Level 8 Tornado was truly more than any single woman could handle!

Fei’er and the other three women understood, but that didn’t mean the newly joined Gao Lan could.

Even though this sophisticated woman was "ripe to bursting," having never "communicated" with Mengde, she couldn’t yet grasp the deeper meaning...

She subconsciously took his words at face value.

She shook her head.

"You know that I’m not just thanking you for saving me."

"I’m also thanking you for your willingness to help my brothers."

Mengde fell silent.

That was right. The reason Mengde had chosen to let Brother Jingfu handle the Celestial Wolf Base alone...

...was partly because Brother Jingfu was indeed strong enough for the task.

The other reason was that time was short.

Mengde had learned about her two brothers from her.

And at the pleading of both her and Lina, he had to immediately take Gao Lan back to the South District.

Otherwise, her two brothers would likely be in danger.

If it were just Gao Lan on her own, it would probably be impossible for her to make it back to her brothers’ side.

Mengde understood all this, which was why he was accepting her thanks now.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay you when I get the chance in the future!"

Gao Lan said with determination.

Mengde didn’t doubt her tone in the slightest.

Because he had already seen the system notification that popped up before him.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Gao Lan’s Affinity toward you has increased by 10!]

[Current Affinity: 40!]

Mengde smiled faintly.

’Looks like once I rescue my two future brothers-in-law, it’ll be about time for the main course... hehehe...’

And just as Mengde was driving toward the South District...

...over at Gao’s Base...

...Gao Qiang and his brother were also making their final preparations...

"Xiaolan, we’ll definitely save you!!!"
