Chapter 509: Playing Games
When Sang Zhe returned home, he had just planned to check if Little Ying was feeling unwell today. However, as he approached, Aunt Yu quietly said, “Lady has already gone to bed.”
“She went to bed so early?”
“Looks like there’s no place for me again tonight.” Sang Zhe sighed heavily.
Yu Xia’s face turned a bit red as she whispered, “Do you need me to tidy up the bed first, my lord—”
Before she could finish, three little heads popped up from both sides, startling Yu Xia.
“Not happening tonight.” Si Jingzhu decisively shook her head.
“Sang Zhe has important business to attend to tonight,” Hua Jianglian said seriously.
“Aunt Yu, you can go to bed. Leave the husband to us three.” Long Huan interjected, pulling Sang Zhe’s hand without any discussion.
Sang Zhe: “…Huh?”
What important business? How come I don’t know anything about it?
Yu Xia looked at the three girls pulling Sang Zhe away in confusion and could only sigh with slight regret in the end.

In Hua Jianglian’s room.
The dimly lit room had no open windows or lights on.
On the large, soft bed, three girls and one boy sat in a circle, four pairs of eyes gazing at each other in the darkness.
“Is it almost time?”
“One more minute.”
“It’s about to start… three, two, one!”
“Original Immortal! Activate!”
As the three girls spoke in unison, three communication devices on the bed simultaneously lit up with white light.
A bunch of dizzying activity introductions appeared, and Sang Zhe finally understood that today was the start of the new version of “Original Immortal.” Not only was there a new character pool, but also a ton of new quest storylines.
Clearly, the three girls had prepared for this new character for a long time and now crowded around the communication devices, eager to start pulling.
“Here! First ten pulls!”
“Whoa! I got a hit! Pulled ten and got one!” Hua Jianglian nearly jumped up in excitement.
“Ugh… thirty pulls and got the Linghua Fairy instead.” Long Huan pouted, looking a bit gloomy.
“Ahhhhh, why do I always get the big pity pull?!” Si Jingzhu cried, holding her head in despair.
“I say.”
Sang Zhe said helplessly, “You’re having fun, why drag me into this?”
The three girls turned to look at him with eager eyes.
“I want to fill my luck, give me money.” Hua Jianglian unceremoniously reached out her hand toward Sang Zhe.
“My lord, my character is off, can’t you pity me a little~” Long Huan blinked at Sang Zhe with pleading eyes.
“Wah… why do I have to get the big pity pull again… I already spent hundreds on this, I’ve pulled out hair for three nights now,” Si Jingzhu lamented, nearly in tears. “If I keep this up, I’ll really go bald…”
Sang Zhe: “…”
Oh no.
The boomerang has come back.
When I was busy profiting off “Original Immortal,” I never expected it would one day come back to haunt me.
Now all three of my women have become hardcore players—what to do?
“Well, if it really comes to that, I’ll ask Bai Ming for three internal accounts for you—”
“No way!” The three girls responded in unison.
“How is that any different from cheating?”
“Exactly, if it’s always ten pulls that guarantee a character, we won’t feel the thrill of getting a gold pull!”
“We want to play on our own accounts!”
Sang Zhe’s mouth twitched. Who knew pulling cards in a mobile game could be so terrifying?
“Think carefully. This is just a game after all, but the real cash you guys put in is solidly given to that Bai Ming guy.”
“No problem.” Hua Jianglian said dismissively, “Her character belongs to you, so her money is yours too.”
Sang Zhe: “Huh?”
“Ahem… Lady Sect Leader means Bai Ming and my lord are like brothers, and she always helps him in difficult times. It’s just a little money; why be stingy about it?”
Long Huan laughed nervously, covered in sweat. “My lord, don’t be so petty.”
“It can be done, but you all better not get carried away.”
Sang Zhe helplessly took out his communication device and sent money to the three girls.
Once the three girls received the money, they immediately cheered and continued obsessively pulling.
“Woohoo~ Fifty pulls filled with luck! I’m the ultimate lucky player!”
“I was so scared; I thought I was going to get another dud. Thankfully, the last two hundred pulls were filled with luck.”
After pulling new characters, Hua Jianglian and Long Huan excitedly immersed themselves in the event story, while Si Jingzhu sat pitifully aside, watching her constant big pity pulls in despair, feeling jealous of the other two, with her corners nearly chewed off.
In the end, as Sang Zhe’s money was quickly squandered again, Si Jingzhu hesitated for a moment and quietly inched closer to Sang Zhe.
“Um, Sang Zhe…”
“Don’t even think about it.” Sang Zhe was focusing on his own “Original Immortal” daily tasks, not even looking up, “Even if you get carried away, there’s no money left.”
Si Jingzhu sulked and pouted. After a moment, she bit her lip and quietly slid into the blanket beside him.
Sang Zhe paused briefly as he played with the communication device.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
Si Jingzhu said nothing from under the covers.
She only began to slyly tug at Sang Zhe’s clothes.
Sang Zhe couldn’t help but shift positions, but he couldn’t prevent Si Jingzhu’s hands from inching closer to him.
“Little brat… don’t push me.” Sang Zhe lowered his voice.
From the blanket came the sound of Si Jingzhu triumphant.
“Are you scared? If you are, quickly give me money!”
Just then, Long Huan and Hua Jianglian leapt onto Sang Zhe from each side, hitting him snugly.
“Wow, this event is so tough! I can’t beat it with this level and team!”
“My lord, help me out~”
Sang Zhe was about to check their accounts when something suddenly pinched him from below.
His body tensed up instantly.
“…My lord?” Long Huan blinked curiously.
“N-no, it’s nothing.” Sang Zhe’s neck broke into a cold sweat, forcing a smile.
Hua Jianglian and Long Huan exchanged glances, seeming to notice the slight movement under the blankets.
Upon understanding the situation, Long Huan smiled and leaned closer to Sang Zhe, gently nibbling his earlobe.
“My lord… do you like playing games?”
“Eh, it’s… okay.”
“Is Si Jingzhu making you feel good while playing?”
“…”
Hua Jianglian, feeling a bit jealous, couldn’t help but protest, pouting as she leaned closer: “What’s up? Looks like someone wants to cheat!”
“I won’t give it to you.” Saying that, she gently hugged Sang Zhe’s head and bit down hard.
“You guys!”
Finally, Si Jingzhu erupted from under the blanket, fuming, “Aren’t you guys playing ‘Original Immortal’? Aren’t you going to grind the event? Why interrupt me? I’ve been working hard all this time to get that big pity pull!”
“What’s the rush?”
Long Huan pulled Si Jingzhu down into bed, chuckling as she began to take off her clothes amid her flustered protests.
“The night is still young. We can play with something even more fun!”
