Villain Saving System (BL)

It had been too long— Lu Yizhou could no longer remember the last time a stranger willingly got close to him. His reputation and history had been a large part of the reason and usually, those people ought to survive under his gun first before they could get close within five meters of his personal space.

Yet currently, he had two female courtesans wearing thin, gauzy dresses that looked even more indecent than being naked, sitting on both his sides. One of them was pouring wine while the other draped across the table like she had lost her spine, batting her lashes coquettishly at him as she studied him up and down. "Gong-zi, you’re a cultivator, aren’t you?" She slurred seductively. The scent of wine and perfume wafted to him and his nose crinkled ever so slightly.

"Of course, duh." The other gave a tiny chuckle and offered him the wine cup, her body edging forward at the same time. "Look at how fit his body is. Tall, handsome and muscular. He must be a very good cultivator. And that sword. I have never seen such an elegant sword before. How should this lowly one addresses you, Gong-zi?"

Lu Yizhou didn’t expose the fact that he was currently wearing a thick glamour so his face would look ordinary at best. Well, he didn’t know the extent of the beauty filter’s effect though, so he might have been a bit better than average. Lu Yizhou passively accepted the cup and the woman took the opportunity to grope his hand. "Oh my, your palm is so broad and warm—"

Heimo slammed his wine jar to the table, hard. Abrupt silence reigned in their table as Heimo’s lips tilted into a tipsy smirk, contrary to his eyes which looked dark and dangerous. "Uh, it seems like I have drunk too much. My apology, ladies."

The chatters and laughter returned in full force. "Aiyah." The woman beside Heimo exclaimed in an amused gasp. "How can that be? Hei-gongzi hasn’t even finished one jar tonight. Usually, he can drink up to five!"

"Oh?" Lu Yizhou cocked his brows in interest. "Hei-gongzi must have been a regular here then."

Heimo’s eyes snapped up to him, wide and flustered before he hastily looked away and gulped the wine again. The movement was so subtle that Lu Yizhou would have missed it if he didn’t put all his attention on the man. It was the Pink Dress who answered in a chirp. "He is! Hei-gongzi has been coming here regularly for the past two weeks. He’s very generous and charismatic. Alas," she sighed and pouted petulantly. "He has only drunk and chatted with us even though we have convinced him again and again to stay the night."

Heimo laughed, too loud and high. "Ahaha, ladies, you are flattering me! I am no one but a traveler seeking some companions to talk and drink with. How can I disturb your much needed rest?"
