What kind of man could possibly win the hearts of these three top figures of Liyue, making them willingly share the same husband?
"I heard that the Liyue General Affairs Department has two lists." Lu Lin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly:
"One is a list of people of special concern, which records those extraordinary individuals with great supernatural powers, such as those renowned immortals, and the leaders of powerful armed fleets, etc."
There is also a more classified list of secret intelligence, which records truly dangerous characters who could pose a threat to Liyue, such as Fatui Enforcers, powerful Abyss monsters, and even certain gods.
I know you compiled both lists yourself, but I don't know which list you put me in?
"Mr. Lu is joking. Mr. Lu is the hero who saved Liyue and has a close relationship with the Seven Stars. I would never consider you a threat." Ye Lan chuckled, but there was still no smile on her face.
"Then I'm relieved." Lu Lin raised an eyebrow. "How about it, one game to decide the winner, wanna play?"
Ye Lan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly, like a secluded orchid in a valley; this time, it was a genuine smile.
“If anyone else had dared to make such a bet with me, I would have broken their legs by now, but if it’s Mr. Lu, I think it’s worth taking the gamble!”
She didn't have a bad impression of Lu Lin; she was more curious about how he managed to win over both Liyue's twin stars and Gan Yu at the same time. Moreover, his relationship with the head of the Hall of Rebirth and the young female chef of the Hall of Ten Thousand People was also quite special...
And she is confident of winning!
"Let's begin!" Lu Lin was equally confident, and the two of them simultaneously picked up their dice cups and shook them vigorously.
After a series of clattering noises, the two simultaneously placed their dice cups on the table and checked the numbers they had rolled.
Lu Lin lost the last round, so he was the one to call out first: "Five sixes."
Ye Lan calmly added: "Six 6s."
"Seven 6s." Lu Lin continued adding calmly.
The two of them had a total of ten dice, and calling out seven was already a very high number.
But Ye Lan calmly continued to add: "Eight 6s."
She could only keep adding points, because she already had seven 6s in her hand, and choosing to open would mean certain defeat.
The counting rules for this game are as follows: the number 1 can be used as a wild card. For example, if you roll 66611, it can be considered as five 6s, which is called a "leopard". A leopard is counted as one extra number.
Therefore, when calculating the number of 6s in 66611, it is counted as six 6s.
Based on this, if you roll a number like 66666, it's called a "pure-color leopard," and you count two extra points, meaning it's counted as seven 6s.
Ye Lan rolled a solid-color 6, bringing the total to seven 6s.
As mentioned earlier, Ye Lan is a highly skilled gambler who can use techniques to roll the numbers she wants. This solid-color 6 of a suit was something she did intentionally.
In the first ten games, Ye Lan only wanted to engage in a psychological battle with Lu Lin and did not use this technique until the last game.
When Lu Lin adds up to seven 6s, if she chooses to open, she will have seven 6s herself, and Lu Lin will win by guessing correctly.
So she had no choice but to add another one!
If Lu Lin chooses to 'open' at this point, and he has one 6 in his hand, then he will have a total of eight 6s, and Lu Lin will lose!
Yelan's chances of winning are still very high, because the probability of rolling no 6s or 1s among the five dice is very small.
However, Lu Lin chose to 'open'.
He revealed the dice cup: [44555], not a single 6!
Yelan called out eight 6s at the end, and now there are only her solid-color leopard 6s left on the field, which counts as seven, so she lost.
"You knew I would roll a solid-color 6 of a suit?" Ye Lan asked in surprise.
Chapter 102 Yelan with M-attributes
Lu Lin smiled mysteriously: "I've long heard that Miss Ye Lan is a master gambler, able to roll any number she wants. I bet you'll roll a solid 6 to increase your chances of winning in such a crucial game."
In this game played by two people, getting six is already a very high number, and if you roll a pure three of a kind, it's very difficult to lose.
Because the probability of a solid-color leopard appearing under normal circumstances is too low, the opponent will generally not follow if they do not know that there is a solid-color leopard, and choosing to open it will result in a loss.
Yelan's plan is correct; under normal circumstances, it's difficult to lose if you draw a solid-color leopard.
But then she met Lu Lin, who knew her all too well.
He had planned to propose changing the bet after losing a round, because according to the rules, the game always starts with the loser of the previous round.
Once he starts, he can control the pace of the game and make sure that the phrase "seven sixes" comes out of his mouth, leaving Yelan with no choice but to follow suit.
Of course, he didn't have the ability to control the numbers he rolled like Ye Lan.
So he cheated.
The moment the two shook the dice cups, he activated time stop to peek at Ye Lan's numbers, confirming that they were the same as he had guessed. Then he just needed to change all the 6s and 1s in his own dice cup.
Because he only used his own points, Ye Lan couldn't find any evidence that he cheated.
Even without using time stop, Lu Lin's winning rate is very high because he knows Ye Lan too well, while Ye Lan's understanding of him is very limited, and there is a huge information gap between the two.
Using time stop is just to ensure that you are 100% guaranteed to win.
For a moment, Ye Lan was stunned by the defeat. She realized that the man in front of her had been laying the groundwork for his victory from the moment he proposed changing the stakes.
She realized that she was completely caught in his scheme, which made her feel threatened.
But then came a strange sense of excitement. She had a premonition that this mysterious man would bring unexpected excitement to her life.
“Mr. Lu is truly a pleasant surprise.” She gracefully spread her hands. “Shall we go upstairs and have a chat?”
"I can't ask for it."
......
Upstairs in the teahouse is a quiet room that belongs exclusively to Ye Lan, where she usually rests. It has excellent soundproofing.
The two entered the quiet room. Ye Lan closed the door, and the instant the door closed, a bright blue thread shot out from her fingertips and wrapped around Lu Lin's hands.
Faced with her sudden attack, Lu Lin remained calm. His hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, deftly avoiding the entanglement of the threads, and even grabbing the end of the thread with his other hand.
The silk threads, called Life-Binding Threads, are a common spell used by Ye Lan to defeat her enemies. They are threads formed from pure water elemental power. In her hands, they are like living things, nimble and powerful.
But today she did meet her match. The usually invincible Luo Ming Si posed no threat to Lu Lin. He even began to compete with Ye Lan for control of Luo Ming Si.
However, Lu Lin has the bonus of the "skillful" attribute, which gives him a greater advantage than he imagined when it comes to skill competition!
The two men moved swiftly and agilely in the confined space of the quiet room, exchanging blows and blurring their figures, leaving behind afterimages...
A minute later, Ye Lan's constantly flickering figure stopped, and she almost fell, but Lu Lin caught her firmly in his arms.
She saw that the life-binding threads that originally belonged to her had completely escaped her control and instead bound her tightly.
The deep blue silk thread passed through several key areas such as her armpits and neck, then through the magnificent peaks of her chest, and finally tied horizontally at the foot of her breasts, perfectly highlighting the two key features.
Lu Lin's binding technique is truly remarkable!
Her bodysuit already accentuated her figure, and with the tight binding, the threads slightly dug into her flesh, instantly creating a sense of fullness that was incredibly alluring.
Lu Lin, who was holding her in his arms, was completely captivated, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
"It seems Miss Yelan is trying to renege on her debt?" Lu Lin blew a breath into her ear, which tickled her a little.
In fact, Lu Lin knew in his heart that it would be difficult to restrain someone like Ye Lan with just a bet, so he never lowered his guard against Ye Lan from the beginning.
Ye Lan hadn't expected Lu Lin to be this strong. Although she hadn't gone all out and hadn't used many of her killing moves, Lu Lin's calm demeanor clearly showed that he wasn't taking it seriously either.
"Hehe, Mr. Lu, you misunderstand. Ye Lan was just curious about your strength and was only testing you. As the saying goes, you have to accept the consequences of your bet, and Ye Lan will not renege on her promise."
Even though she was being controlled by others, Ye Lan did not panic. Instead, she smiled gently, possessing a captivating beauty.
She slightly tensed all her muscles, but it didn't seem to be to break free from the life-binding silk threads binding her. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
hiss~
Seeing her behavior, Lu Lin couldn't help but think of another piece of information about Ye Lan, information that he had never paid attention to before and had subconsciously ignored.
She craves pain!
This is a certain innate attribute, which is a very good breakthrough point!
Lu Lin, quick-witted, came up with another idea.
"If you won't renege on your promise, then you're willing to become my woman, right?" Lu Lin said, as one hand reached for the magnificent breasts that were highlighted by the Life-Binding Silk and pinched them hard!
Even through clothing, the pain from that pinch was considerable.
"Ugh!" Her vital spot was attacked, and the pain traveled to her nerves. She groaned involuntarily, but there was also a strange sense of pleasure between her brows.
Seeing that it was effective, Lu Lin felt more confident and began to knead it vigorously.
When he's being intimate with other girls, he's usually quite gentle. Even when he's being a bit wild, he's never as forceful as he is now.
This time, they really used all their strength without any mercy.
Yelan herself is also very magnificent, the kind that you can't see her feet when you look down. She is soft and plump, with an excellent feel. Lu Lin found that the more he used force without any pity, the better his experience became.
Despite being pinched like that, Ye Lan not only didn't stop him, but instead wrapped her arms around his waist with a kind of infatuation, occasionally letting out a groan or something else between her lips.
This was an unprecedented experience for her.
She knew she had a slight pain craving, and the treatment was the most enjoyable time for her after each mission when she was injured. She liked the dull pain of pressing on bruises and also enjoyed the stinging sensation of applying herbs to wounds.
But she had never tried rubbing or abusing her private parts before, so this was a completely new experience for her.
Now that Lu Lin has opened this new door, she finds that the pleasure she can get from it far exceeds the minor discomfort of pressing bruises.
Lu Lin was no longer satisfied with just pinching it with his hands. He lowered his head, put a red bean in his mouth through the fabric, and bit it slightly. It was a bit chewy.
Chapter 103 Ye Lan: Put in a little more force!
"Ugh~" An unprecedented experience kept exploding in Ye Lan's mind. She tilted her head back, and the feeling of being simultaneously impacted by pain and pleasure fascinated her.
She was completely lost!
Gradually, Ye Lan even felt that just being separated by clothes was like scratching an itch through a boot.
Lu Lin hadn't tied her up properly; her hands were still free to move.
So she deftly loosened the life-binding silk binding her, unbuttoned her bodysuit, and voluntarily revealed her flawless upper body.
Pure white as snow, majestic as a mountain, crimson as blood...
Lu Lin took the life-binding silk again and used it to bind her up. This time, however, he only wrapped it around her upper body twice. He also thoughtfully wrapped it under her armpits, leaving her hands free.
Two azure silk threads, one above the other, tightened around the majestic, snow-white mountain peak. The threads were so tight that the soft, white flesh was divided into pieces, revealing a blood-red bean protruding from the center.
Lu Lin lowered his head again. This time, without the fabric obstructing his view, he could savor the moment.
He used considerable force, even leaving deep teeth marks, but Ye Lan still felt it wasn't enough.
She forced out a few words through clenched teeth, her voice trembling slightly: "Yes...a little more force..."
......
After an unknown amount of time, the quiet room finally fell silent with a scream from Ye Lan as she reached her peak.
Ye Lan seemed to have all her strength drained away. She lay on the soft couch for a while before getting up to tidy up her mess and get dressed.
It was indeed quite intense just now; Ye Lan even had quite a few bruises on her body. However, Lu Lin has the "Miraculous Healing" skill, so it won't be difficult to heal these minor injuries afterward.
Lu Lin leisurely brewed two cups of tea and handed one to her.
The two sat facing each other again. Ye Lan's pretty face flushed red. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not that kind of person!"
These words, coupled with her still-youthful and captivating appearance, were honestly hard to be convincing, but Lu Lin nodded earnestly: "I know."
Ye Lan is indeed not promiscuous. She has never been interested in any man since she was a child, and her love life is still a blank.
She accepted Lu Lin's bet because she was curious about him.
She had been studying Lu Lin for a long time as an intelligence agent and had a pretty good impression of him. Moreover, she herself was somewhat fond of seeking thrills.
Most importantly, she believed she could win, which is why she accepted the bet.
But she didn't expect Lu Lin to know her so well, perfectly predicting her actions and setting a trap for her.
After losing the bet, she naturally wanted to renege on the bet. As an intelligence agent, there was no need to talk so much about integrity and morality. As long as she did not betray her position, what was wrong with renege on a bet?
They lost!
Although this clash of life-binding threads looked a bit like a farce, neither side went all out. Lu Lin tied people up but not their hands, and she didn't even use her elemental power.
But you can see the whole picture from a single spot. She is not lacking in insight. In a brief exchange, she knew that she was no match for him. Since they were on the same side, there was no need to make things so awkward.
