Chapter 168: Chapter 154: King Heng’s List, an Influencer’s Glory

"It’s finally over..."

Inside the cabin, the two sisters glanced at each other, a shared sense of relief visible in their eyes.

"Are you going to take a shower?"

The older sister, Shuyue, kicked her younger sister Shuyu’s butt and asked.

"Of course I am."

"How am I supposed to sleep without showering?"

Shuyu sat back up, her voice tinged with resignation.

"You go first, then I’ll go."

Shuyue didn’t say a word, because she was in no better shape than Shuyu.

"I’ll just rinse off quickly. I’ll be fast."

Shuyu stood up unsteadily. She pulled back the curtain and peeked outside. "It’s past three in the morning. The sun will be up in a little while."

Muttering to herself, she headed for the cabin’s bathroom.

Hearing a sound, the twin sisters stared at each other in utter disbelief.

"How..."

"Is it starting again?"

"Is he ever going to stop?!"

"Oh, come on!"

"Oh my god!"

The younger sister Shuyu’s expression shifted rapidly—she even blurted out a classic line from a Huang Bai movie. She was truly on the verge of a breakdown.

"Shhh..."

"Listen carefully. Does that sound... different?"

The older sister, Shuyue, suddenly shot up from the bed and hurried to the cabin door. When she reached it, she bent down and peered through the peephole.

"OMG!"

"OMG!!"

"OMG!!!"

Shuyue gasped three times in a row, her eyes instantly widening into perfect circles.

"What is it?"

Seeing her sister’s dramatic reaction, Shuyu rushed over to look.

"Chairman Gu is in the living room..."

...

At noon, the azure sky was clear and deep, without a single impurity.

The blazing sun poured down without reservation, like millions of golden threads dropping straight from the heavens, plating everything in the world with a dazzling golden edge.

"BLAAARE—!"

The yacht’s horn blared. Having cruised the Huangpu River all night, the Princess X95 flybridge yacht returned to the vicinity of The Bund, slowly heading toward Sixteen Piers Wharf.

When Wang Yan emerged from the master cabin with heavy, dark circles under his eyes, he saw Gu Heng sitting at the dining table not far away, looking energetic and refreshed as he enjoyed a hearty breakfast. He couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

He first thought he was seeing things, but it really was Gu Heng.

"Yo?"

"Brother Yan, you’re awake?"

Seeing Wang Yan, Gu Heng immediately greeted him. "Come have some breakfast."

At that moment, Wang Yan was staring at Gu Heng as if he’d seen a ghost.

"Little brother, you were going at it from two in the morning until seven this morning. The fact that you can sit here calmly eating breakfast right now... you’re a goddamn beast!"

Wang Yan’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

Thinking back on last night, it had been sheer mental torture for him, and a massive blow to his pride.

If he could choose again, he absolutely would not have stayed overnight on the yacht. He would have definitely gotten off with Yuanyuan, Deng Zhihong, and the others.

Gu Heng was just too much of an animal!

He had thought Gu Heng would sleep like the dead, but not only was Gu Heng up before him, he also looked exceptionally energetic.

"Brother Yan, aren’t all young people like this?"

Gu Heng pulled out a chair from the side and replied with a chuckle, "Standard procedure. No need to be so shocked."

"Cut the crap!"

"I was 18 once, and all my friends were 18 once."

"When we were 18, none of us were as ridiculous as you."

Wang Yan sat down, holding his lower back.

"It’s a feature."

Gu Heng took a sip of coffee. To Wang Yan, his smile was infuriatingly smug.

"Holy shit!"

"You really had to flex on me like that again, huh?"

Wang Yan was genuinely envious. Forget about now, when he was approaching middle age; even in his hot-blooded youth, he’d never possessed that kind of power.

"Little brother, be straight with your big bro."

"Do you have some kind of exclusive secret formula?"

Wang Yan suddenly lowered his voice. "You’re so strong it’s freakish!"

"Brother Yan, I won’t keep secrets from you."

"I really don’t have a secret formula. It’s all-natural talent."

Gu Heng spread his hands. "If I really had a secret formula with such a heaven-defying effect, I could just open a pharmaceutical company and I’d be making money hand over fist."

"That’s true, I guess."

Wang Yan scratched his head, thinking what Gu Heng said made sense.

After all, just look at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, which holds the gospel for men worldwide. It’s a global biopharmaceutical giant worth hundreds of billions of US dollars.

If Gu Heng really had an exclusive secret formula, with his immense financial resources, he would have commercialized, scaled, and industrialized it long ago.

"Little brother, I’m truly envious of your talent!"

Wang Yan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Gu Heng just smiled and didn’t reply.

’Gloating after coming out on top is just obnoxious.’

’To be honest, Gu Heng himself hadn’t expected last night to turn out like that. It was mainly because after the [Eternal Day Engine] buff was upgraded, the energy it provided was a bit too immense for his body to fully absorb. If he had to go for five hours straight without a break again like last night, he probably wouldn’t be able to pull it off. He’d need to take a short rest in between, at least.’

The two men sat at the round table eating breakfast. About ten minutes later, Yuanyuan was the first to emerge from the master cabin, followed by Bingbing, Xinxin, and the others, who trickled out from the living quarters.

As far as the eye could see, every girl was practically glowing. Their faces looked as if they’d had a hydro-lift facial—fair, translucent, and radiant.

As their eyes met, the girls all looked a bit shy.

But despite their shyness, each girl would steal glances at Gu Heng from time to time, the deep adoration in their eyes completely unconcealed.

Before last night, who could have imagined that behind such a delicate and handsome face hid a wild beast? The mere thought of its ferocity was enough to make their legs go weak.

Gu Heng sipped his coffee, looking at the seven radiant beauties before him. He opened his TikTok account and started following them one by one, beginning with Bingbing. After he had followed them all, the "Following" list on the [Prince Heng] account went from zero to seven.

"I’ve followed you all on TikTok."

"If you need anything in the future, just send me a private message on TikTok."

Gu Heng put away his phone and said to the seven girls.

’At the same time, he inexplicably recalled Wang Yan’s TikTok collection groups: "White Moonlight," "Cinnabar Mole," and "The One That Got Away." He suddenly felt that his own "Following" list could be used in a similar way.

From now on, he would only follow the female influencers he’d been with.

Years from now, looking back on it would probably be quite a spectacular sight.

Don’t these female influencers often use titles like this for their livestreams?

A wife’s exhibition hall, a husband’s glory.

His "Following" list now had a similar ring to it.

Prince Heng’s list, an influencer’s glory.’

"Thank you, Chairman Gu~"

Hearing this, the girls were all delighted.

Just as Xinxin had said: once a woman has experienced a marathon, how could she ever settle for a sprint again?
