Hands down, this is the wildest thing I've ever seen. Nothing else even comes close!
Right now, Ivy Shen is like—AV stars? Or those group party flicks? Child's play. This? This is next-level, boss-tier insanity!
Lanny saw Ivy still zoning out, so Yvonne Li, multitasking like a pro, hollered over.
"Mistress!" Lanny zipped over, grinning like a suck-up.
"Quick, grab a few top picks for Miss Shen!" Then shot Ivy a look. "When I'm done here, wanna be sworn sisters?"
"Uh, wait..." Sisters? With her? Ivy was not here for it! No way was she signing up to be besties with a lust demon—talk about tanking her social stats!
"Eh, forget it! You're my little sis now, period. Lanny, hurry up and pick out a few with real skills for Sister Shen!" Yvonne was already sold—this chick was bold, real, and totally unfiltered.
"Nope, I'm good!" Ivy waved her off like nope dot com.
"Oh c'mon, don't be shy! These guys are seriously OP—ahh, harder, harder!" Yvonne moaned, not a hint of shame, multitasking like a queen.
Ivy managed a super awkward smile. "Yinyin, for real, I'm good. My squad's all I need." She pointed at her own men for emphasis.
"Mistress, maybe she's just not into our flavor," Lanny said, eyeballing the guys. "But they're built, so I'm sure they'd rock her world." He giggled behind his hand. "But hey, if you want, I'll handpick a few hotties for you. Or heck, I'll jump in myself!" He even shot Ivy a flirty wink.
"Yeah, hard pass!" Lucian Vane swooped in, arm around Ivy's waist, shooting ice daggers at the actual snake-demon drag queen.
Yvonne Li just laughed. "Dang, Sister Shen's husbands are gutsy! You must spoil them rotten, huh?"
"Heh, guess I'm just a pushover."
"Hurry it up, you slowpokes!" Yvonne saw Ivy wasn't biting, so she just dove back into the pleasure zone, totally vibing.
Ivy watched, then said, "You all keep at it. We're gonna bounce for a bit."
"Wait for me, sis! I’ll wrap up quick!" Yvonne called, totally into Ivy.
"Cool!" Ivy nodded and led her crew out. First, gotta stabilize Yvonne—Li Manor is basically a loot box of secrets waiting to be cracked.
The second Caleb Miles and Butterfly Rogue heard 'outside,' they bolted like cheetahs—like there was a boss monster about to eat them.
Honestly, the other five guys totally got it. After Ivy’s savage roast, those two probably have new trauma unlocked!
"Uh?" Ivy Shen squinted. She glanced back and caught Nina Xu spacing out. Ivy waved the squad ahead; they ghosted out quietly. Then Ivy strolled up to Nina, who still hadn't noticed her staring—too busy watching Yvonne and her husbands go at it, eyes practically popping out.
Ivy followed Nina's gaze, then checked her out—Nina's face and neck were tomato red.
Ivy smirked, couldn't help herself. She leaned in, whispering, "Getting curious? Feeling some kinda way?"
"Wha—?!" Ivy's words jump-scared Nina back to reality. Her cheeks went even redder—like, cherry bomb level.
Ivy grinned for real. "See? Coming to Li Manor wasn't a total bust. You caught feelings, huh?"
"I dunno... I... I'm all weird inside. The weirdest part? Guys aren't as gross to me now." Nina peeked over at the squad again. She'd never done anything—first time was at Fire Valley, now here. Both times, it was wild. The sounds, the scenes... was it really that awesome?
"Means you're still normal," Ivy reassured her, smiling.
"Normal?" Nina muttered, totally shook. Was she actually normal?
"Yup! Deep down, you still like guys. I've heard your story—when you talk about it, didn't you notice you started hating men after that demon ruined your brother? But honestly, at your core, you're still a regular girl." Ivy was legit happy for Nina—she was a real one, and Ivy wanted her to win.
"I... I dunno." Ivy's words sent Nina into panic mode. Wait, does she actually like guys?!
"No worries! Seriously, this stuff takes time. You'll figure it out. Maybe one day you'll meet a guy who flips your whole script!" Ivy squeezed her hand, dropping an encouraging grin.
"Xin'er..." Nina's nose tingled, feelings all scrambled. What even was this vibe?
"C'mon, let's bounce!" Ivy grabbed her and headed out. Dongdong shut the door, looking like he'd just parted with his favorite loot.
Outside, Dongdong led them to a garden that smelled like a flower shop exploded. There was a cute little pavilion, so he parked the squad there and ordered up fancy wine, killer food, and top-tier snacks.
"You the butler or something?" Lucian Vane asked, clocking Dongdong bossing the staff.
Dongdong forced a smile. "Sorta. I help run things." But his gaze kept drifting back—dude clearly didn't want this gig. His heart was still hung up on Yvonne Li, hoping she'd take him back someday.
Ivy clocked that and grinned. Maybe she could use him to speedrun Li Manor's secrets.
"Dongdong!" Ivy called out.
"Miss Shen, need something?" Dongdong zipped over, bowing like a pro.
"Hey, chill out. Sit with us!" Ivy pointed at a stool, waving him over.
Dongdong looked at the squad chilling on the benches, hesitated, then plopped down too.
"Dongdong, how long you been stuck here?"
"Over two years."
"Dang, that's a grind. You lasted way longer than most."
"Not long enough," Dongdong shot back, voice loaded with epic sadness. "Bet you all think the Lady of Li Manor is just some wild party girl, huh? Truth is, she's nothing like that. She's kind, she's naive, and she's never forced any of her husbands. If you don't wanna sleep with her, she won't make you. She's not what you think—she's actually a good woman!"
Everyone froze, mid-snack, staring at him. Good woman?!
Sorry, but none of them could even begin to picture Yvonne Li as a 'good woman.'
"She legit saved me. Two years ago, my fiancée Qianqian got targeted by that dirtbag Liu Hu. He tried everything, but we were childhood sweethearts—no way was he splitting us up. But Liu Hu's dad was some bigwig, so he went full villain mode. When threats and bribes didn't work, he... he forced himself on Qianqian. She bit her tongue and ended it herself." Dongdong's eyes filled up. Pure heartbreak.
Ethan Chu sipped his wine, lost in thought as Dongdong spilled his story.
"Watching her die for nothing broke me. I wanted revenge, but I was weak—no skills, no weapons, just rage. I grabbed a knife and charged that jerk, but he had goons everywhere. They beat me senseless. Then he accused me of hurting Qianqian and causing her death." Dongdong clenched his fists, heart shattered.
"Can you even imagine how mad I was? I was about to black out when she showed up—Yvonne stopped her carriage, jumped in, and before I knew it, Liu Hu was down for the count. She tossed me a dagger and let me finish him off!"
"Did you do it?" Liam Willow blurted, feeling the pain—he knew all about being powerless.
