"You!!"
"What, you thinking of reneging?" Greg Jensen was starting to get upset too.
"Fine, go ahead and renege if you want, but then you should take yourself off wherever you're supposed to be, and I wont interfere with your hotel's business, and you can forget about taking even one Dragon fish."
"You..."
Lois Abbott's eyes seemed capable of spouting fire as she glared at Greg Jensen, her face a picture of anger.
Right now, she really wished she could walk away and leave this bastard far behind.
But the thought of the Reverie Inn's precarious situation made her deflate like a punctured ball, and her body suddenly went limp.
And for some reason, seeing Greg Jensen's indifferent gaze made Lois Abbott's eyes redden, and she felt increasingly aggrieved in her heart.
Seeing her look like this, Greg Jensen too felt a peculiar discomfort, feeling that he was coming across like a big villain.
But he was not skilled in sweet-talking, nor was he the type to coax women with honeyed words, or it would not have come to this point.
"Fine! I'll sleep with you right now! It's not like we haven't slept together before anyway!" Lois Abbott seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, storming into the room in a huff.
Relieved that she had finally agreed, Greg Jensen quickly shut the courtyard gate and followed her in.
Lois Abbott had an attractive figure, and her pert buttocks swaying as she walked made it hard for Greg Jensen to look away.
The thought of soon cultivating with this top-grade beauty and having to use those positions from the "Yin Yang Harmony Sutras" made him feel his body heat up...
Greg Jensen took a deep breath and, mustering his courage, hugged Lois Abbott from behind, "Let's get started."
Lois Abbott's body trembled, instinctively wanting to break free, but feeling it was somehow improper, she said weakly,
"Look at you, all sweaty, why don't you take a shower first?"
"All right."
Greg Jensen thought it made sense; he had sweated a lot during his Qi Refinement, and the kitchen work had left him smelling of cooking fumes, so a wash was indeed in order.
He quickly fetched a bucket of water and began to wash in the courtyard.
Lois Abbott, hearing the noises outside, couldn't help but peek through the doorway, where she saw Greg Jensen in just a pair of shorts, his muscles on full display.
"Tut, have you no shame!"
Lois Abbott's face turned a shade of red, and after spitting disdainfully, she found herself unable to leave, continuing to watch through the crack in the door.
His handsome face, sharply defined muscles, and the pronounced bulge...
Lois Abbott's face grew redder at the thought of what was to come, her heartbeat quickening.
In the courtyard, Greg Jensen washed diligently, drying his body with a towel before walking inside the house.
Lois Abbott, her face still flushed, had hidden herself in a corner.
Greg Jensen chuckled softly, walked up to her, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Let's begin."
"How do we... begin?"
Greg Jensen lifted her chin and kissed her red lips.
"Mmm..."
Lois Abbott struggled for a moment but soon her body softened.
Greg Jensen was elated, about to continue, when Lois Abbott's phone suddenly rang.
She quickly pushed Greg Jensen away, answered the call with only a few words spoken, her expression changing drastically, she said to Greg Jensen,
"Could you... could you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Pretend to be... my boyfriend."
Greg Jensen was stunned.
Lois Abbott, blushing, said nervously, "You... you don't want to?"
"Ah, of course I want to, why wouldn't I?"
Greg Jensen came to his senses and laughed, "But aren't I already your boyfriend? Why pretend?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lois Abbott's pretty face turned cold, but feeling she had been too harsh, she softened her tone quickly,
"Don't be mad, and besides, this might be a little dangerous, you... if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Haha, no worries."
Greg Jensen chuckled and said, "Alright, let's hurry up."
Lois Abbott had just taken a phone call, and he overheard some of it. There seemed to be a ruckus at her home, as if someone was causing trouble.
Greg Jensen was now at the first level of Qi Refinement; five or six strong men couldn't get close to him, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
However, to continue Dual Cultivation with Lois Abbott, threats and promises alone weren't enough; he also needed to win her heart.
If he wanted to win her heart, how could he leave her in a time of danger?
Lois Abbott was clearly very anxious, not saying a word along the way, and soon led Greg Jensen down the mountain to her car.
It was a black Crown, quite old-looking, and the interior smelled of smoke, probably her father's car.
It seemed that Lois Abbott wasn't as wealthy as he had imagined.
"Tell me what's going on, so that I can brace myself."
After a moment of silence, Lois Abbott explained the situation.
After listening for a while, Greg Jensen raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the reason Lois Abbott ended up doing 'that' with him last time was that Brandon Brent had drugged her.
"So this guy is like our matchmaker?"
"Matchmaker?"
Lois Abbott looked at him blankly.
Greg Jensen said with a sly smile, "Yeah, if he hadn't drugged you, how would you have become my girlfriend?"
Lois Abbott instantly realized what he meant and, with frost on her pretty face, glared at him: "Who is your girlfriend? Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hey, why aren't you keeping your word? You just said I could ask you to do anything."
"..."
Lois Abbott was really annoyed. If it weren't for Greg Jensen's tall and robust figure, and if she hadn't been unable to find anyone else at the moment, she really would have liked to kick him out.
"Don't want the Dragon fish anymore? Or don't want to learn about medicinal cuisine?"
"I..."
Greg Jensen glanced at her, "Alright, continue."
With a sigh, Lois Abbott continued, "Ever since that incident, Brandon Brent has been forcing me to be his girlfriend.
He also said that if I didn't agree, he'd make sure our hotel couldn't continue to operate..."
Lois Abbott, being attractive and capable, naturally couldn't agree.
However, this Brandon Brent really was quite despicable.
That very afternoon, officials from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Fire Department, Health Department, and other departments showed up and closed the hotel down.
Having no choice, Lois Abbott had to inform her father about it.
Fortunately, although her father was seriously ill, he still had some friends who smoothed things over, and they managed to reopen the hotel the next day.
But unexpectedly, when Brandon Brent couldn't use official channels anymore, he brought a so-called Divine Doctor to treat Lois Abbott's father's illness.
Without needing to think much, it was clear that Brandon Brent was up to no good, which is why Lois Abbott was in such a hurry when she received her sister's call.
After listening to the whole story, Greg Jensen thought it was quite troublesome as the other party had a significant status and ordinary means wouldn't work.
But all the trouble stemmed from Lois Abbott's father being ill. What if he could cure her father's illness?
Would that solve all their problems?
Seeing him silent, Lois Abbott thought he was scared and hastily said:
"As long as you can help me, I will do whatever you ask, even if it means being your mistress, I am willing."
"Really?"
"Absolutely, I swear."
"Really anything?"
Greg Jensen said with a grin, purposely emphasizing the word "anything."
Lois Abbott's face turned red, and she nodded gently, "Yes, anything..."
"Alright, then let's hit the road."
Greg Jensen was very pleased. Now that Lois Abbott had said those words, wouldn't it mean she was at his beck and call in the future, ready to sleep with him whenever he wished?
