It's normal for a villain like me to subdue a corrupted female protagonist, right?

"Is it...is it that kind of...secretary?"

"This little girl knows quite a lot."

"I...I'm not young anymore..."

Zeng Xueting paused for a moment, then suddenly looked towards the entrance to the reception room.

There, He Qinzhou slowly appeared, leading another woman by the hand. The woman's face was still flushed, and her eyes were filled with infatuation as she walked towards He Qinzhou...

Yet another woman!

Chapter 424: Zeng Xueting Admits Her Mistake

When Zeng Xueting turned her gaze to Ning Qing, Ning Qing naturally saw her as well.

Ning Qing was only surprised for a moment, and after marveling at the other person's looks, which were in no way inferior to her own, she returned to normal.

He Qinzhou put his arm around Ning Qing and slowly sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs, his face full of admiration.

Including He Ningyao...

Three women, each with their own unique charm, sitting together is a truly delightful sight!

Actually, there were more than just the three women in the penthouse, but before meeting Zeng Xueting, He Qinzhou specifically instructed the remaining women to stay quietly in the room for a while and not disturb him and his guests' discussions.

Faced with He Qinzhou's order, the beautiful women naturally agreed, and each of them huddled in their rooms doing their own thing.

“He Qinzhou, I’m here today because I have something to make clear to you.”

Zeng Xueting was shy and her voice was barely audible; she was too embarrassed to go see He Qinzhou.

However, her words caused He Ningyao and Ning Qing to feel puzzled, and they both turned to look at He Qinzhou.

“After you left when you came to see me that day, Han Feng called me again… I’ve already explained everything to him. I’m sorry, I know I was wrong.”

Zeng Xueting lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs.

He Qinzhou glanced at her before saying, "Alright, stop playing the victim. Not every time you admit your mistake, you'll be forgiven."

He Qinzhou shrugged and said dismissively, "The people you should apologize to are not me, but those killed by Han Feng..."

"Find some time and have Ningyao take you to the Xia family to offer condolences to the families of the deceased!"

"Okay, okay..."

Zeng Xueting did not refuse, but nodded heavily twice, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"Is there anything else? Just say it."

"He Qinzhou, our Zeng family will soon be hosting a martial arts summit. Are you... interested in participating?"

He Qinzhou nodded thoughtfully, recalling the plot of the script.

He knew Han Feng would also be there, and in order to suppress him, it seemed he had no choice but to attend this so-called martial arts summit.

"When?"

"It starts in six days. Can I stay here with you for a while and go with you?"

There's nowhere else to go...

He Qinzhou found it somewhat amusing, "Are you planning to present yourself as an invitation?"

"No, no... The invitation will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. I... I just want to go with you."

"Kyoto is so big, isn't there anywhere you can find a place to stay?"

Sensing the sarcasm in He Qinzhou's words, Zeng Xueting felt extremely wronged and simply pursed her lips, refusing to respond.

"Stay here. Anyway, this place is like a recycling center. It lacks everything except women."

He Qinzhou turned his head and looked at his villa. "There are still quite a few rooms on the second floor. Pick one to sleep in. But I can't let you stay for free. You have to work for me."

"Work? What work?"

"Take care of the yard, clean, do laundry and cook—you choose."

As he had more and more women, He Qinzhou simply dismissed all the servants, leaving only Lu Zhiyun to handle the daily maintenance work.

The penthouse was huge, and there were more than a dozen people in it, including them...

If everyone shares the housework, we can save money on hiring a maid.

"I... I can cook."

After much thought, Zeng Xueting realized with dismay that besides cooking, she was basically incapable of doing any other chores...

Moreover, I learned how to cook from Song Rongzhi, who is my best friend.

"Then let's cook, we can go now."

He Qinzhou waved his hand, since it was almost lunchtime anyway, and told her to go cook.

"Ningyao, you will be in charge of taking care of her for the next few days."

He Qinzhou patted He Ningyao's buttocks and gave the order.

"Okay, boss."

She gave He Qinzhou a knowing look, then led Zeng Xueting away.

After the two left, Ning Qing sat down next to He Qinzhou again, her tone somewhat reproachful: "Qinzhou, I think that girl was young and didn't know any better, so please don't blame her anymore."

"Am I, He Qinzhou, such a petty person...?"

"Then why are you making things difficult for her?"

"I didn't do that. She had nowhere else to go, so I kindly took her in. But I can't just support her for nothing, can I? Besides, cooking is nothing, is it that hard?"

Ning Qing thought for a moment before nodding solemnly and saying shyly, "...Difficult!"

“You are different; your hands are meant to contribute to the Dragon Kingdom.”

He Qinzhou took Ning Qing's hand and played with it in his own, saying seriously, "Your Dragon Academy of Sciences bears a heavy responsibility. Whether our Dragon Nation can become strong depends on whether you academicians can do your job!" "I understand. Then I'll go back to the Dragon Academy of Sciences now to continue the research and development of new weapons!"

Ning Qing was about to get up with a grin when He Qinzhou suddenly pulled her into his arms and made her straddle his lap.

He Qinzhou grinned mischievously and said, "You, Ning Qing, are you trying to rebel? You even know how to play hard to get with me?"

"How can I not!"

After receiving a slap on her round buttocks, Ning Qing blushed and gently pushed He Qinzhou's chest, saying with a coquettish hum, "Well, I'll be going back to Longke Academy sooner or later anyway..."

He Qinzhou snorted coldly, "Hmph, if it were before, I wouldn't have said anything if you left, but now you are my woman, and I will not let you leave me."

Hearing this, Ning Qing was deeply moved. To receive a promise from the person she loved was every woman's wish.

Ning Qing gently rubbed He Qinzhou's handsome, angular face, her eyes filled with adoration. "Once the combination lock is found, I'll have to go back to Longke Academy. I won't be able to stay with you all the time. Besides, as a scientist, I might be assassinated by a foreign spy one day. With so many sisters by your side, I feel at ease."

I never expected her to have thought of so much; she's such a caring older sister!

He Qinzhou hugged Ning Qing with some emotion, but put on an angry face. "What do you mean by 'die'? You're not allowed to say that word again. So now, I'm going to punish you!"

"Huh? What punishment are you going to give me?"

"Of course, you'll have to endure the humiliation of crawling between my legs..."

It must be said that Zeng Xueting is quite skilled at cooking.

At least……

It tastes much better than most of the women around He Qinzhou!

After enjoying a delicious lunch with the women, He Qinzhou went straight back to his room to practice his martial arts.

He Qinzhou continuously practiced the various martial arts techniques in the hands of the practitioners, including Martial Arts Exploration, Yin-Yang Killing Technique, One Punch Shocks the Heavens, and Bajiquan Manual. He studied them all.

While I was thinking about it, five days passed by quietly!

Chapter 425: Zeng Xueting's Repayment of Kindness

The search for the Temple of the Gods in the Northern Theater has made no progress.

Han Feng seemed to have vanished suddenly; even Tian Xin couldn't find him!

However, the relationship between He Ningyao and Zeng Xueting has grown significantly. The two now call each other "sister" and "brother," which is quite harmonious.

Moreover, Ning Qing, Li Qingqing, Mu Yuxin, and the other women seem to have been working on Zeng Xueting's mindset during this period...

In short, every time He Qinzhou went out to eat, Zeng Xueting would stare at him with a very strange look.

"He...Qinzhou, I...I've figured it out!"

The night before the martial arts tournament, Zeng Xueting finally mustered up the courage to push open the door to He Qinzhou's training room.

"Ok?"

He Qinzhou was sitting cross-legged on the ground reading a book when he heard this. He looked up and saw Zeng Xueting wearing only a thin gauze nightgown with nothing underneath. He was extremely surprised.

"It was all my fault before, I shouldn't have protected Han Feng!"

Zeng Xueting walked in stiffly, closed the door behind her, and locked it. "You meant well, but I've never given you a kind look. I... I'm so sorry..."

He Qinzhou closed the book, awaiting her continuation.

Seeing this, Zeng Xueting became even more nervous. She quickly took several deep breaths before continuing, "These past few days, Sister Ningqing, Sister Qingqing, and Sister Yuxin have told me a lot. I... I've thought about it for a long time. And Sister Ningyao, she also told me about her experiences... For a woman, it's really not easy to meet the right person..."

"What do you want to say?"

"I……"

Zeng Xueting bit her lip lightly, walked up to He Qinzhou, and slowly took off her gauze dress. But she was stopped halfway through, and he looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Don't take it off, this dress suits you very well, you should keep it on."

"Uh……"

Zeng Xueting obediently put the gauze dress back on, composed herself, and then knelt down in front of him, looking directly into He Qinzhou's eyes: "Thank you for making me face reality, and thank you for taking care of me during this time... Without you, I really don't know where I would have gone!"

He Qinzhou raised an eyebrow: "It was just a drop of kindness, so are you planning to repay me a thousandfold now?"

"what?"

Zeng Xueting looked at him blankly.

But the next moment, He Qinzhou pulled her into his arms, and amidst her gasp, he said with a wicked smile, "You are indeed wrong, and very wrong... But what can I do? I'm a kind and generous person. Today, let me impart my wisdom to you and teach you how to be a woman!"

"Well……"

In the penthouse, in He Qinzhou's training room, low cries for mercy echoed until late into the night.

Early the next morning.

He Qinzhou, full of energy, pushed open the door to the practice room. Behind him stood Zeng Xueting, her face still flushed.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, they were met with flirtatious glances from the women.

After sending Zeng Xueting to make breakfast, He Qinzhou sat between He Ningyao and Ning Qing, exchanging smiles with the other women.

Zeng Xueting was hit where it hurt by He Qinzhou's sharp words and was kept up until the wee hours of the morning. Now that her legs were weak, she could only manage to make a simple meal.

While eating, He Qinzhou suddenly teased, "Tingting, did you have some ulterior motive for choosing to repay me yesterday? Look at me today, my legs are weak and I feel powerless... How am I going to attend the Martial Arts Summit later?"

"Huh? I...I didn't!!"

Zeng Xueting glared, but quickly deflated, saying aggrievedly, "I...I forgot..."

"So tell me, what do we do now? I'm going to play today too, what if we lose?"

"Eat two more eggs to replenish your energy!"

Zeng Xueting quickly fed the egg from her bowl to He Qinzhou, saying apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Qinzhou, I really forgot... But you're so strong, you should be able to win the first round of the auditions!"

"Here, you can have my egg too."

Ning Qing chuckled and placed her own egg into He Qinzhou's bowl as well.

"And mine!"

He Ningyao's face was also full of sarcasm.

"And ours too!"

Li Qingqing followed, then Mu Yuxin, Lin Wan'er, Que Ming, and other women.

"Are you trying to choke me to death? There are so many eggs, and they're so dry. How am I supposed to eat them without water?"

He Qinzhou said irritably.
