Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

"Actually, what you mean is easy to understand. Our frontal assault is complete, and continuing with a direct attack is definitely not going to work. Since we can't progress on the main quest for the time being, we can try to push through the side quests."

"For example, we need to find a suitable person or create a suitable opportunity to take over and amplify Tang San's current anxiety that has nowhere to go."

"However, this process must not appear deliberate, nor even a trace of coincidence. It must be a forced situation!"

Na'er leaned forward slightly and explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Or to put it more bluntly, what happens next must be driven by Tang San himself, based on his own subjective will! Make him feel that he is the one in control of the situation and the one who is looking for the answer."

Seeing the still somewhat confused looks on everyone's faces, Na'er tilted her head and gave a relatable example:

"It's like... when your brother gives you a full-body massage in the room."

The atmosphere at the table instantly became awkward after these words were spoken.

Na'er, however, acted as if nothing had happened and continued her analysis in a serious tone:

"Every time, my brother would first use his techniques to tease your emotions and bodies until you were neither too excited nor too upset, and then at the most crucial moment, he would suddenly stop and back away."

At this point, you'll definitely feel empty inside, and might even feel angry and dissatisfied because of his irresponsible pause.

"Just when you're about to get angry, your brother will immediately lower his stance and put on an innocent and ingratiating look to admit his mistake. This is actually deliberately satisfying your desire to dominate!"

"This will subconsciously give you the illusion that the services he continues to provide are things you actively asked him to do, and that you are in control of the whole process!"

Furthermore, in your sense of satisfaction from wielding power, your subconscious perception of your brother's slightly offensive probing and transgression will become insignificant, even taken for granted.

Na'er crossed her arms and rested them on her chin.

"But ultimately, if you step back and think about it carefully, you'll find that the initiative in this matter has been completely and utterly in the hands of the older brother from beginning to end!"

"He simply used a clever tactic to make us mistakenly believe that we were the ones who truly held the power of decision-making."

Simply put, in the older brother's theory, this method of controlling people's minds is called "pulling and tugging"!

"If I pull you, your instinctive reaction will definitely be to pull back in the opposite direction. You think you have successfully resisted and that you have taken the initiative."

But in fact, the very act of pulling back, and even the force with which you pulled, was entirely under my precise control!

After hearing Na'er's vivid, even "revealing" firsthand account, the area around the table fell into a deathly silence.

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, the girls who had been "served" by Xuan Hao, had strange and interesting expressions on their faces.

Even Tang Yuehua, who had been sitting to the side with an air of seniority, pretending to be invisible, began to dart her eyes away.

She stared intently at the teacup in front of her, two suspicious blushes appearing on her fair cheeks without her noticing.

Depend on!

Everyone cursed in their hearts at the same time.

Thinking back carefully to all the little things I did with Xuanhao in the past, it seems...

It really is true!

Every time it comes to a crucial moment, this bastard uses this shameless tactic of playing hard to get to completely control me!

That bastard Xuan Hao… He's really gone to such extremes, using all this scheming and psychological manipulation in every aspect of his daily interactions with them, even in their intimate moments?!

Seeing the women's eyes gradually shift from shock to embarrassment and anger, and even a hint of gritted teeth, the surrounding air seemed to freeze because of this rising "killing intent".

Sensing the anger rising among everyone after learning they had been tricked, Xuan Hao remained completely calm.

He put down his teacup, shrugged innocently, and spread his hands:

"Please, can you guys be reasonable? With so many people of such different personalities living together all day, there's bound to be all sorts of emotional friction and ulterior motives in our daily interactions."

"If I don't go to such lengths to carefully plan and guide your emotions, what if your negative emotions accumulate and suddenly explode?"

Xuan Hao looked at them and said, "Moreover, deliberately giving in on those matters and satisfying your desire to take the initiative, isn't it all ultimately to make you happy and make you feel safe?"

Hearing this frank and even somewhat "aggrieved" analysis, the girls' anger faltered, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural.

Thinking about it carefully... it seems that's really the case.

In fact, Xuan Hao's all-encompassing "scheming" can be seen from another perspective as him going to great lengths to please them and take care of their feelings!

After all, it's impossible for so many proud and outstanding girls with different personalities to live under one roof without any competition or minor conflicts among them.

But looking back over the past few years, there has never been any uncontrollable arguments at home.

Whenever the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, it was Xuan Hao who acted as a "lubricant," subtly mediating between them. He skillfully resolved their negative emotions and eliminated the conflict by using various jokes or playing hard to get.

He was actually very attentive and cared a lot about their relationship and everyone's feelings, unlike his usual casual attitude of "letting things take their course."

Chapter 302 Turning the Tables: From Accusations to Collective Reflection

……

Thinking of this, the resentment that had just risen in everyone's hearts because of being "tricked" not only dissipated quietly like a punctured balloon, but also uncontrollably transformed into a faint sense of heartache.

Yes, it's exhausting for one person to consider the sensitive feelings of so many girls at the same time, to be considerate of everyone, to constantly monitor their emotions to prevent trouble at home...

Even if Xuan Hao is incredibly smart and talented, this kind of extreme internal consumption day after day is absolutely exhausting!

The girls exchanged glances, and each saw the guilt in the other's eyes.

They felt like they had lost countless brain cells and were even somewhat exhausted just from setting up a scheme to deal with Yu Xiaogang all night.

But what about Xuanhao?

He usually spends every day dealing with them, tolerating their occasional unreasonable demands and temper tantrums, building a huge career outside, and working hard to improve himself under immense pressure...

The more they thought about it, the more guilty they felt, and they even began to reflect on whether they were sometimes too emotional and immature, and whether they had caused their brother too much trouble.

Seeing how the girls' initially fierce gazes softened in less than a minute, transforming into eyes full of guilt, heartache, and gratitude...

Tang Yuehua, who had been sitting quietly watching the show, suddenly trembled as she held her teacup, almost spilling the tea.

She widened her gentle, beautiful eyes, her gaze shifting unnaturally between Xuan Hao and the girls who were almost in tears.

It's a ghost!

Tang Yuehua gasped inwardly, a chill running down her spine.

Your methods, you brat, are outrageous and terrifying!

With just a few words, he not only completely washed away his scumbag-like scheming and calculations, but also instantly turned the tables, moving these smart girls who were originally about to confront him to the point of frantic self-reflection!

Only at this moment did Tang Yuehua truly realize just how terrifyingly skilled this lawless little rascal was at manipulating people's hearts.

No wonder he is surrounded by so many amazing girls with amazing backgrounds and different personalities. He can still maintain a calm and even harmonious situation in this chaotic scene!

These incredibly clever young girls, admired by countless geniuses, have had their minds completely under your control, leaving not even a trace of their bones behind!

……

The sumptuous late-night snack was quickly devoured by everyone.

As he walked out of the grand restaurant and stood on the bustling street, Xuan Hao looked at the large group of beautiful women around him and was momentarily at a loss.

On one side was Tang Yuehua, the owner of Yuexuan, and on the other side were Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the other two maids.

It's the middle of the night, so it doesn't seem appropriate to send anyone home first.

Seeing Xuan Hao standing at the intersection looking somewhat troubled, the sensible Ning Rongrong was about to speak up, suggesting that Xuan Hao take Aunt Yuehua first, and they could go back to the hotel by themselves.

But before she could speak, Xuan Hao waved his hand and made the decision directly:

"Forget it, all this fuss is too much trouble. Let's all go back to the hotel together tonight."

"Oh? I'm going too?"

Tang Yuehua was stunned upon hearing this, and pointed to herself in confusion.

This place wasn't actually too far from her Yuexuan, and she thought that Xuanhao would take her back after finishing his meal.

"Yes, you'll come with us."

Xuan Hao looked at her and said, "It's the middle of the night. I'm really worried about letting a weak woman like you go back alone."

Similarly, I can't just leave those little girls on the street. I can only feel completely at ease when they're all within my sight.

"But bringing such a large group of people to your Moon Pavilion in the middle of the night would be too conspicuous and inconvenient. Going to the top-floor suite of a hotel would be the most suitable option."

Tang Yuehua still felt it was inappropriate. After all, it was their territory, and what was the point of an elder like her going along to join in the fun? Just as she was hesitating and about to politely decline...

Xuan Hao subtly winked at Na'er, who was standing to the side.

As someone who could read Xuan Hao's mind, Na'er understood her brother's meaning almost instantly. She immediately stepped forward, affectionately took Tang Yuehua's arm, and gently shook it, saying coquettishly:

"Sister Yuehua, why don't you come with us to rest for the night? Tomorrow morning at daybreak, your brother will definitely send you back to Yuexuan safely as soon as possible."

Na'er blinked her clear purple eyes, her tone full of concern: "You don't want your brother to run back and forth between the two places and be scared on the road, do you? It's the middle of the night in Tiandou City, so it's definitely safest for everyone to travel together."

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and the others didn't want Xuan Hao to be troubled by such a small matter, so they all came over and offered their advice.

"Yes, Aunt Yuehua, there are plenty of empty rooms in the suite, please make do for the night!"

“It’s so late, we’re worried about you going home alone.”

Faced with this group of girls whose enthusiasm was irresistible, and coupled with Xuan Hao's "high-sounding" safety reason, Tang Yuehua sighed inwardly and had no choice but to nod in agreement:

"Well... alright. I'll only bother you for one night."

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Hao and his entourage headed towards the Tian Dou Royal Hotel in a grand procession.

When they arrived at the luxury suite on the top floor of the hotel, Tang Yuehua looked out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor and was surprised to find that the lights of the Tiandou City Night Market below had begun to fade in large areas.

In the distance, on the eastern horizon, a faint glimmer of dawn was already appearing.

This means that it's almost dawn.

"Did we... wander around outside all night?"

Tang Yuehua looked out the window in a daze, and then she truly felt the deep fatigue coming from her body.

"Everyone is exhausted after a whole night of running around."

Xuan Hao stretched and yawned. "Alright, let's not linger here. Go back to your rooms, wash up, and go to sleep."

After saying that, he turned around and left, returning to his master bedroom and leaving the spacious living area to Tang Yuehua and Na'er.

It was only at this moment that Tang Yuehua truly saw the scale of this penthouse luxury suite.

This isn't a hotel room; it's practically a luxurious palace built in mid-air!

A dozen or so spacious, bright, and uniquely styled small rooms surround the huge central living room.
