Chapter 307 - 155: Experience Game of the Tyrant

Chapter 307: Chapter 155: Experience Game of the Tyrant

Su Ran: "Let’s squeeze through."

The group pushed their way out of the crowd and waited by the roadside for Shan Weizi to emerge after removing her makeup.

Su Ran used the time to log into the game on his phone.

The game had a classic imperial court art style. Su Ran’s character was the Tyrant, and his chibi-style avatar was currently reviewing memorials to the throne. There was also a lot of boring scripted dialogue. Since he hadn’t invited any female players yet, the game hadn’t officially started, and he couldn’t view any quests.

"What game is this?" Lou Shishi asked, looking at Su Ran’s phone.

"Er, it’s nothing. I just downloaded it on a whim. I rarely play games."

Su Ran brushed off the question. ’He couldn’t just invite his grandaunt to play along, could he?’

"Is it a palace simulation game? What’s it called? I love these kinds of games," Liu Piaopiao chimed in, peeking over with a curious expression.

"It’s a pay-to-win game. Just a cash grab."

Su Ran quickly locked his phone and shoved it into his pocket. Otherwise, Sister Piaopiao would have definitely snatched it from him.

’He could invite his grandaunt to play, but he could absolutely not invite Sister Piaopiao. Wouldn’t that just throw everything into chaos?’

"I’ll go see if Weizi is done."

Su Ran went to the outdoor backstage area and saw Shan Weizi, still in her gorgeous Imperial Consort Yang costume.

Sitting at the vanity mirror to remove her makeup, she outshone all the other beauties, making every other woman in costume seem dull in comparison. Many people envied this woman, Shan Weizi, for her exceptional dancing. She was the kind of woman other women couldn’t help but envy.

Su Ran always said she was a talented woman, a genius who could do anything. What most people didn’t know, however, was that she spent even more time shut away in her courtyard, working tirelessly through the tedious moments day and night. To perfect today’s dance, she had researched extensively, consulted numerous experts, put in an immense amount of effort, and rehearsed at home no less than a hundred times. Her talent was forged in sweat.

Her face, still covered in heavy stage makeup, broke into a contented smile when she saw him in the mirror’s reflection.

"You’re here..."

Her smile, as she turned, was utterly enchanting.

She wasn’t boisterous like the "four little ones"; she was just a simple, proper young woman.

A woman who believed in destiny and trusted that heaven would arrange her marriage.

She steadfastly pursued her passion for traditional Chinese culture. She would take the stage to perform on a bitterly cold night without a second thought, unafraid of the chill. As long as the person she loved understood and supported her, and she could contribute her part to spreading Chinese culture, it was all worth it.

Traditional Chinese culture is the coolest.

Su Ran deeply admired her ambition and was very supportive of her career.

She was Shan Weizi: a thoughtful, ambitious, independent, and self-reliant young woman.

Su Ran walked up to her and, as if by magic, produced a rose from behind his back.

"For you."

"Thank you~"

"Your performance was amazing. I recorded the whole thing. Let’s go, I’ll play it for you when we get home."

"Mm-hm."

Shan Weizi reached out and took Su Ran’s hand, leaving the backstage area under everyone’s watchful eyes.

She didn’t need grand romantic gestures. This quiet, simple, everyday life was exactly what she yearned for.

「By West Lake.」

Su Ran gave Shan Weizi a piggyback ride, and Shan Zhentian did the same for Liu Piaopiao. Lou Shishi and Shan Changqing were left to walk on their own. Six people, four skewers of candied hawthorn, with the two women on piggyback in charge of feeding them to the men.

Lou Shishi said with a hint of envy, "Sigh... Must be nice to have someone to carry you."

Su Ran said casually, "You could ask your brother-in-law to carry you."

"Him?" Lou Shishi pointed at Shan Changqing. "With that frail frame of his? He’d probably fall to pieces before we even got home."

"Hahaha..." Shan Changqing roared with laughter. "Shishi, have you forgotten? When you were three and stayed with us, wasn’t I the one who carried you on my back every day, coaxing my little sister-in-law and buying you candy all over town?"

"Hehehe... Now that you mention it, I remember! Weizi was a brute even back then, she made me cry several times. When passersby asked why I was crying, I told them my granddaughter hit me."

Pfft...

Everyone burst into laughter.

Shan Weizi, munching on her candied hawthorn, laughed. "Haha... I remember that, too! You got your revenge by snatching my candy, which made *me* cry. When people asked why I was crying, I told them my grandaunt stole my lollipop. They all got so angry, ’What kind of grandaunt has no heart, stealing a toddler’s candy! That’s outrageous!’ Then you jumped out and said you were my grandaunt. Everyone was dumbfounded. Their reaction was, ’A three-year-old kid is her grandaunt?’ Hahaha..."

The air was filled with laughter and happy chatter as they reminisced about those innocent childhood moments. Before they knew it, they were home.

They skipped the late-night snacks and drinks that evening. Everyone just washed up and went to bed.

Since the three women of the family—Lou Shishi, Liu Piaopiao, and Shan Weizi—were having a girls’ night and would be chatting up a storm, Su Ran wouldn’t get a chance to be with Shan Weizi and experience the firmness of the Ancient Beauty.

’There was always tomorrow. No need to be impatient.’

Su Ran returned to his own cottage and could hear the sounds of joyful laughter coming from the other one.

The three women were soaking together in the oversized bathtub Shan Weizi had bought, flower petals floating on the surface of the water.

"Oh, come on, Weizi. Your man is just in the cottage across the way. If you have something to say, just shout. Why bother texting? Right, Piaopiao?"

Lou Shishi and Liu Piaopiao were soaking in the bathtub.

"Just a second."

Shan Weizi sent a reply to Su Ran: [Sleep alone tonight. I’ll come wake you up tomorrow. ??]

She put down her phone, undid the towel wrapped around her, and slipped into the tub. The hot, petal-strewn water rose to her chest.

"Weizi... you have such a great figure. What’s your bust size?"

"36D."

"So jealous. You really inherited Piaopiao’s superior genes."

"But of course~" Liu Piaopiao said, confidently puffing out her chest.

"Oh-ho~ Look at Piaopiao, showing off! Now I’m going to have to tickle you."

"Ahhh~ No, stop, I’m ticklish~"

"Hehehe~"

The three women splashed playfully in the cottage’s bath.

「In the cottage opposite.」

After washing up, Su Ran flopped onto his bed and opened the game, ready to invite some female players to experience the Tyrant’s favor.

’Tonight wasn’t a good time to invite Shan Weizi. He’d wait until tomorrow.’

So Su Ran shared the link with @Liu Jinyu, @Xiao Wanqing, @Xie Yiren, and @Aina.

He also sent a message: [Get in the game. It’s the closed beta. Complete a quest and get 1 Gold Coin + 1 yuan. Come on! I’m waiting for you.]
