Chapter 552: Chapter 26 Night at the Oasis

Ruan Feifei stood next to Tang Zheng, feeling very uncomfortable under his substantial gaze, and subconsciously twisted her body.

The feeling of being scrutinized, waiting for someone else to decide her fate, was terrible. Ever since she became a top-notch host, even when facing the station director, Ruan Feifei hadn’t been so submissive. At this moment, she felt deeply humiliated, but she did a good job bottling up these feelings and not revealing them.

"This is a battlefield, and I have to conquer it!" Ruan Feifei reminded herself, and then put on a smile again. She came here to flirt with him, didn’t she? She couldn’t back down. What if it gave him a little advantage?

"You really hate being at a disadvantage, don’t you?" Tang Zheng shook his head and called forth the priest girl.

"Phew, I’m finally out. Dad, are you trying to suffocate me?" The girl in the white robe, upon appearing, clung to his arm like a koala, then glared at Ruan Feifei, driving her away with her eyes. How hateful of her to disturb her alone time with her dad!

Ruan Feifei felt embarrassed and her smile froze. She tried to smooth things over, "Who is this?"

"You’re really lacking self-awareness, aren’t you? You see I’m not welcoming you, so why don’t you leave?" The girl’s tongue was even sharper than Lu Fan’s, completely disregarding the feelings of the host. After shooting Ruan Feifei a glare, she ignored her, "Dad, I need a name too. How about Platycodon?"

"A medicinal herb? Did you choose her because of your profession?" Tang Zheng moved the girl away. She was like an anthropomorphic air conditioner. Since her appearance, not only did the surrounding air become fresh and moist, it also rejuvenated him, feeling relaxed like soaking in a hot spring after a long run.

"Dad is so smart." The girl smiled, poked Tang Zheng’s ribs, and said, "Do you feel a new sort of strength starting to spread throughout your body?"

"How about Forsythia? I like that one." Tang Zheng teased the girl, "Help her lift the curse."

"That’s an ugly name. I’ll compromise and be called Daylily." The girl snapped her fingers, and a white halo enveloped Ruan Feifei, immediately driving out a puff of black mist.

Ruan Feifei was delighted and thanked her. She immediately unzipped her skin-tight suit, and sure enough, her rotten skin was visibly healing at a fast pace.

"Dad, this woman is so shameless, she’s undressing in front of you. Does she want to have sex with you?" Daylily suddenly stepped forward, poking her finger at Ruan Feifei, grumbling, "It’s just a C-cup, what’s so great about that?"

"Aren’t you the shameless one?" Ruan Feifei screamed in surprise, muttered in her heart, almost to the point of suffocation, but she dared not say it out loud.

"I just want to seduce him." Ruan Feifei didn’t rush to pull her clothes back on. She actually had this idea too, just to give Tang Zheng a sweet taste, and with Daylily there, she was not afraid that he would do something excessive.

Tang Zheng’s face darkened.

"You seem to think I’m easily fooled." Tang Zheng leaned forward, bringing his face close to hers, and warned in a low voice, "Put away your little tricks, if it happens again, you will definitely regret it."

"I wouldn’t dare." Ruan Feifei whimpered, quickly squeezing out a few tears, not arguing back, but retreating and apologizing to Tang Zheng.

"Go into the pickup truck. After your first activation of the Seed Ability, you won’t wake up until tomorrow noon." Tang Zheng threw the choice back to her, "If you’re afraid I’ll do something, go back to the tent to sleep."

"I’ll do it." Ruan Feifei gritted her teeth, opened the car door, and climbed into the pickup truck. She knew that such opportunities were rare and she needed to take a gamble. As for Tang Zheng’s character, she would give it a chance.

Bang, Tang Zheng closed the car door and ignored her.

"That woman is so annoying." Daylily pressed against the glass, watching Ruan Feifei activate the Seed, she pursed her red lips, and said with dissatisfaction, "Such a waste."

Tang Zheng didn’t care; it was just another low-level Seed.

"Dad, why don’t we strip her naked and hang her up for everyone to see, since she’s always playing smart? No? Okay, then we can at least spank her, right? After all, she won’t know." Daylily suggested.

"Who?" Tang Zheng didn’t pay attention to Daylily. Hearing faint footsteps, he frowned and asked.

"It’s me, Yu Manli." The mature woman nervously came, casting a glance at the pickup truck, "I have something."

"Activating the Seed?" Tang Zheng, seeing her nod, explained a few things and had Daylily help her lift the curse. He then pointed to the pickup truck, "Sit in the front passenger seat, alright?"

"No problem." Yu Manli was overjoyed. The more abilities she had, the more chances she had to survive.

Daylily was too clingy and Tang Zheng had no choice but to take her back in.

"Tang Zheng." Seeing that there was nobody in sight, Yu Manli stepped out of the car again. Knowing she was at middle age and wouldn’t get a glance from Tang Zheng if she wouldn’t be proactive, she suddenly hugged him.

Tang Zheng was taken aback.

"Thank you." Upon realizing that Tang Zheng didn’t react, Yu Manli let out a sigh and swiftly let go of him, speaking before he could, "Don’t mistake this. It’s just gratitude."

"What’s going on?" Tang Zheng wiped his mouth corner, annoyed, and opted to hide in the shadow under the pickup truck to avoid being found.

Everything was uneventful that night. After breakfast, the fleet hit the road again. Because he gained two women in his pickup to sleep with, there was only room for Chen Hong to sit.

Tang Zheng was incapable of protecting three women, so Aima had to temporarily leave, and Pang Meiqin - her driving skills too precious to waste - was recruited by Qin Yan.

"Will they really not wake up?" Chen Hong felt an urge to slap their faces, jealously asking, "Is it because they used a seed?"

"Yes." Tang Zheng didn’t hide it.

"They didn’t go back to sleep in the tents last night." Chen Hong looked at Tang Zheng and boldly inquired, "Did you..."

Tang Zheng frowned and before he could answer, Chen Hong sneered, "Even a middle-aged woman like Yu Manli, you made a move on. Quite an acquired taste."

"You’re crazy." Tang Zheng shut his mouth, ignoring her.

Chen Hong launched into a tirade of ridicule towards Tang Zheng, and, realizing he didn’t care at all, she got even angrier.

"I also want a seed." Chen Hong didn’t back down.

"Your clothes are too obstructive." Out of petty reasons, Chen Hong spoke up. Seeing Tang Zheng ignored her, she felt extremely embarrassed. Feeling wronged, she then leaned forward and began to cry.

"Are you playing the victim? It’s pointless, you’re better off familiarizing yourself with firearms." Tang Zheng was frustrated, was this the curse that came with being too nice?

"I’m not that bad, why do you keep ignoring me?" Chen Hong lifted her head and stared at Tang Zheng with her tear-filled eyes, demanding an explanation, "Is it because I am not a virgin?"

"Can’t you just shut up." He should’ve just left her behind when she was the first one who rushed towards his pickup in the morning.

"I’ll tell them you slept with me, but didn’t give me a seed." Chen Hong was firm in her decision to cause a scene, she wanted a superpower, she didn’t want die.

Tang Zheng felt like vomiting blood. Facing a woman like this, he felt completely helpless. Even if everyone didn’t believe her, it would still taint his image.

"What’s wrong with dating a rich man? Even though I’m a washed-up star, I still have some savings." Chen Hong could only tempt Tang Zheng with this, she couldn’t conjure up much else with her frivolous mind.

"I’m not your toy boy." A twitch formed at Tang Zheng’s lip corner, "Do you think I lack money now?"

"Why did you sleep with Yu Manli then? Apart from having a bit more to offer, what’s so good about her? Do you have a thing for mature women?" Chen Hong was confused and straightforwardly asked, convinced that he had something going on with those two women.

Tang Zheng felt like crying. This woman was so dense, it was no wonder with such a figure and face yet could only barely hold on in the industry. Not only couldn’t she become a superstar, but she only had a short-lived time of fame.

"So you admit it, huh? I knew it, no man can resist a beautiful woman." Chen Hong straightened her clothes, grumbling, "I was the first one who listened to your order and took the protective clothing, it counts as the main force, right? Why can’t you treat me a bit better?"

Tang Zheng decided to stay mute. Actually, what Chen Hong said was not wrong, she was fairly obedient and easy to control.

"Don’t be fooled by Ruan Feifei claiming she’s innocent. These kinds of women are the most cunning. They can con you out of everything without you noticing. As for these two women in the back," Chen Hong continuously chattered, her lips moving up and down complaining and bad-mouthing them, "They just want to sell for a better price. Once you’re of no use, you’d be kicked aside without them sparing a glance."

"You should stop acting like Liu Xiahui. They are needy now, so you should openly make demands and mistreat them. In the end, deny everything and infuriate them."
