Evil MC's NTR Harem

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282 Culture

While Ross remained seated comfortably in his chair, Miss Su was experiencing an entirely different situation.

She was still kneeling before him, her beautiful face filled with disbelief and frustration as she desperately tried to regain control of her body.

She tried moving her arms.

Nothing.

She tried standing.

Nothing.

She even circulated the spiritual energy within her dantian and attempted to forcefully break whatever mysterious restriction had been placed upon her.

Still nothing.

Her body simply refused to obey her.

It was as though every muscle, every nerve, and even her spiritual energy had been disconnected from her will.

She could think freely, she could feel everything happening around her, and she could clearly understand what was going on, but her body would only move according to Ross’s commands.

Just how strong is he?

Miss Su’s heart trembled.

How is he doing this?

She had cultivated for many years and had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Within Golden Fortune, she was considered a powerful cultivator, and even many of the guests who visited the gambling house had to show her respect.

Yet before Ross, all of that strength seemed completely meaningless.

She couldn’t even resist a single command.

Could he be in the Core Formation Realm?

That was the lowest possibility she could think of.

Perhaps he was even stronger.

The thought made Miss Su’s expression turn solemn.

If Ross was truly a cultivator several realms above her, then it explained why she couldn’t sense anything from him earlier.

His cultivation was simply too far beyond her own ability to perceive.

But there was another problem.

Ross had been sitting there so casually the entire time.

He wasn’t even paying attention to her.

It was as though controlling a Foundation Establishment cultivator was no more difficult than moving a finger.

Miss Su clenched her teeth inwardly.

Who exactly is this Jiang Chen?

She had originally thought that he was merely an arrogant young master who had somehow cheated the gambling house.

Now she realized that she had been completely wrong.

This man was far more dangerous than she had imagined.

And yet Ross himself seemed completely unconcerned about her thoughts.

He leaned comfortably against the back of his chair and looked around the luxurious chamber.

The confrontation from earlier appeared to have already been forgotten.

After a moment, he rubbed his throat.

“I’m thirsty.”

Miss Su’s eyes widened.

Ross casually pointed toward the collection of wine bottles displayed along the wall.

“Bring me your finest wine.”

The instant the command was given, Miss Su’s body moved.

She wanted to resist.

She wanted to remain where she was and demand that Ross release her.

But her legs moved anyway.

She slowly stood and walked toward the wine collection.

No!

Miss Su screamed inwardly.

Her mind desperately fought against the invisible control, but her body simply ignored her wishes.

She reached the shelves, selected one of the most expensive wines in the room, and returned to Ross.

She placed the bottle and a cup on the table with trembling hands.

Ross glanced at the bottle and nodded approvingly.

“Good. You have expensive tastes.”

Miss Su’s face twitched.

Of course I have expensive tastes! That’s one of the finest wines in Golden Fortune!

She wanted to shout those words, but no sound came from her mouth.

Ross picked up the bottle, poured himself a cup, and took a leisurely sip.

His expression immediately brightened.

“Not bad.”

Miss Su could only stare at him helplessly.

The situation was becoming more absurd by the second.

She had invited him upstairs intending to interrogate him, perhaps even force him to reveal how he had cheated the gambling house.

Instead, she was now standing obediently beside him, serving him wine in her own private chambers.

And the worst part was that she couldn’t do anything about it.

Ross took another sip and smiled.

“This place really does know how to entertain its guests.”

Miss Su’s heart sank.

She suddenly had a very bad feeling that the night was going to be much longer than she had originally expected.

From that day onward, Ross practically made the Golden Fortune Gambling House his second home.

He could often be seen on the second floor, casually sitting in Miss Su’s private chambers as though the place belonged to him.

Sometimes he would stroll to the railing and look down at the bustling gambling hall below, watching the gamblers come and go.

Strangely enough, he no longer participated in the games.

After winning an absurd amount of money, Ross seemed to have completely lost interest in gambling.

Instead, he behaved more and more like the actual owner of the establishment.

He would occasionally give an instruction, ask for something to eat or drink, or simply sit there enjoying himself while Miss Su remained nearby.

Naturally, this strange development did not escape anyone’s attention.

The patrons and workers of Golden Fortune began whispering among themselves.

“This can’t be happening!”

“Is Miss Su actually together with that Jiang Chen?”

“It’s hard to believe! Jiang Chen might be handsome, but everyone knows he’s a trash who can’t cultivate. How could Miss Su possibly choose someone like him?”

“Perhaps he used some kind of trick on her!”

“Nooooo!”

One young man clutched his chest dramatically.

“The goddess I’ve admired for years is actually with another man?! My heart can’t take this!”

Another patron sighed.

“Forget about your heart. I think the entire Golden Fortune is going crazy.”

Everywhere Ross went, people secretly watched him.

Some were jealous.

Some were confused.

Some were heartbroken.

And quite a few were simply curious about what had happened between him and Miss Su.

After all, Miss Su was no ordinary woman.

She was the manager of Golden Fortune and a respected Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Countless young cultivators had tried to win her favor over the years, yet she had never shown much interest in any of them.

Now, seemingly overnight, she had become inseparable from Jiang Chen.

To the outsiders, it was an unbelievable development.

But the workers of Golden Fortune were even more confused because they knew something was definitely wrong.

Miss Su’s behavior wasn’t normal.

She had always been decisive, proud, and incredibly difficult to approach. Yet whenever Ross was around, she seemed strangely obedient.

Among everyone watching the situation, Xue Lengyan was perhaps the most suspicious.

She had served Miss Su for a long time and knew her personality better than most people.

Something wasn’t right.

She quietly observed Ross for a while before her expression became serious.

I need to tell the young miss about this.

Xue Lengyan didn’t dare confront Ross directly. Whatever had happened between him and Miss Su was clearly beyond her ability to understand.

She hurried back to a private room, took out some paper and a writing brush, and quickly began composing a letter.

Her hand moved rapidly across the page as she recorded everything that had happened.

She finished the letter, folded it carefully, and sealed it.

“This matter is too strange…”

Xue Lengyan murmured.

“I hope the young miss can figure out what’s going on.”

With that thought, she immediately arranged for the letter to be delivered.
