Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

"Young...Master...can you speak?"

“Aglaia, you wouldn’t want your mother to die of hunger, would you?” Lu Qingwei smiled slightly.

"No, young master. Just tell me what you want, and Aglaia will fulfill it." Aglaia's back teeth were practically grinding to powder.

"But seeing how determined you are, I don't want to help you anymore."

Having said that, Aglaia couldn't hold back any longer. Now that they'd thrown off all pretense of civility, she decided to go all out.

"Lu Qing, I've disliked you for a long time. You're clearly only a teenager, yet you're always wrapped in that white cloak. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to inherit Ohm's mantle. What are you so arrogant about?"

"However, I am a kind person. Even though I don't want to help you, I still intend to help you."

"Young Master, you look so handsome in this outfit~ Young Master Lu Qing is truly kind-hearted, with such classic charm, this style of clothing is simply made for you."

"But because you just insulted me, this puts me in a bit of a bind."

"I'm about to vomit from looking at your stinky face. Are all nobles this cold-hearted? I've been begging you like this, are you frigid or something?"

Lu Qing looked at Aglaia, who was going all out, and touched his nose.

That should be enough; they should hate me enough.

As for emotional debts, I can definitely avoid them this time. I did a good job in my previous life.

[Sai Fei: That was absolutely wonderful. (Gritting her teeth)]

[Star: My breath is blowing on it.]

[Fireworks: I need your love, send it!!]

[Fireflies (harmless to humans and animals): Yes, they can absolutely be eliminated.]

[Star (under duress): @Firefly, sister, where are you? I miss you.]

[Firefly: I'll definitely die if I come.]

[March 7th: @Star, if you're being threatened, just blink.]

[Star: Stop guessing!!!]

[March 7th: Guess? The first letter of "guess" in English is "g," so you've been kidnapped by a woman?]

Himeko: The Long Night Moon?

[March 7th: Huh? How did you figure that out?]

“Alright, Aglaia, I’ve decided to help you.”

"Eh..." Aglaia felt a little ashamed of her behavior just now, which made her crystal earlobes turn red.

She just had a good rant, and from what she said, she thinks she's successfully been selected?

Could it be that because they're used to being pampered, they've developed some peculiar traits, and can feel pleasure from being scolded?

It's truly impossible to fathom the thoughts of these young noblemen.

"Butler." Lu Qing looked towards the door. He knew that the old man had been eavesdropping there. That old rascal was so sneaky.

"Young Master." The gray-robed butler jogged over.

“Bring her mother to the manor.”

"Are you sure you want her?"

"Yes, although her background is a bit humble, she is still a Golden Descendant, so she won't lose face."

"I understand, Master."

Aglaia sat quietly to one side, feeling somewhat humiliated. She was being talked about like merchandise to be appraised, and her opinion of the white-clad youth in front of her plummeted.

[Sai Fei'er: Yes, yes, this development is the right one.]

[Hassey: This is sure to be a romantic story unlike any other.]

[Xi Lian: Wait, isn't that what I said?]

Lu Qing glanced at Aglaia's unpredictable expression out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Aha, you've miscalculated.

[Firefly: My notebook is almost overflowing.]

"Are you hungry?" Lu Qing's gaze followed the butler until he completely left the room.

However, Aglaia's stomach made an inappropriate "gurgling" sound.

"Is it... still... possible... for... reconciliation...?"

Lu Qing pointed to the meat on the table.

"Unlimited supply, eat up."

"This is... the flesh of an Earth Beast?! It seems that slaughtering such animals is forbidden in common households, right?"

"It died of illness."

"Why does it smell burnt?"

"It seems like he was struck by lightning and died, but I'm mistaken this time."

Aglaia fell silent. There weren't that many earth beasts that had died of disease; it was clearly the young master in white who had been craving them.

[That summer: People like that should be sent to prison.]

However, she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.

She is neither a great philanthropist nor a saint.

She wouldn't say anything like, "Why don't you open the granaries and release the grain?"

[Fireworks: This young lady has actually read a script.]

[Fireworks: A city is ravaged by monsters. A rescued boy says to his savior, "If you had come sooner, my father and mother wouldn't have died."]

[March 7th: And then?]

[Fireworks: His benefactor shot him dead, saying there was even a demon beast that could possess his soul.]

[Star: In chaotic times, killing the Holy Mother first is the right thing to do.]

Aglaia's mood quickly changed.

Doubt Lu Qing, understand Lu Qing, become Lu Qing.

"Don't eat too much. Your stomach won't be able to handle it if you don't eat for a long time."

Lu Qing couldn't help but offer a reminder to his old friend, Aglaia.

“I… know…” Her cheeks puffed out, like a squirrel.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I won't touch you. You just need to deal with my parents."

"You have a secret lover?" Aglaia was confused; she thought she was going to be interrogated tonight.

What do you mean by looking slightly disappointed?

Lu Qing felt that the timeline was going a bit crazy, but little did he know that it was that sentence he just said that earned him a bit of favor from Aglaia.

"Don't worry about that," Lu Qing said, not intending to say anything more.

The room fell silent, with only the rustling and gnawing sounds of teeth chewing food remaining.

The girl had a graceful figure, but she was actually quite thin, so she must have been hungry for quite some time.

Aglaia's beautiful golden eyes met those unchanging golden eyes, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Putting aside his words, he seems to be a good person."

[Firefly: The beginning of my descent, it's getting to me.]

[Crydella: I really have you under my control.]

Chapter 139 Scratching Chin

"Master?" The gray-robed butler knocked on the head of the family's door.

"What is it? Young Master has already made his choice."

“Aglaia, the daughter of the Golden Weaver.”

"It's good that he can choose. I'm really afraid he'll like men. Over the years, I've never seen him get close to any woman."

When Aglaia was mentioned, Lu's father had some impression of her. She seemed to be a very pretty young girl. Her status wasn't high, but in the entire Ohm, apart from Krydela, no one's status could surpass theirs.

That doesn't matter.

This is the source of confidence for super-noble families.

"Please arrange for us to have dinner together tonight, housekeeper."

"Yes, sir."

After the brief conversation ended, the man referred to as "Master" began to ponder some things.

“It’s definitely not okay for my little Qing to continue eating, drinking and having fun like this. I have to find a way to send him to school for further education. I didn’t have the money to go to Shuting for further education when I was a child. I don’t want my child to spend his whole life without any knowledge.”

It just so happens that Aglaia is about the same age as him, so she can be his study partner. Moreover, since she was born into an ordinary family, Aglaia must be very good at taking care of people.

She meets the eligibility criteria, making her an ideal partner.

Anacharath of the Divine Tree Garden is renowned, and it's time to send him for further studies. However, before that, he decided to test the true nature of this young golden-blooded girl with his wife.

Aglaia sat obediently next to Lu Qing, constantly looking at the handsome young man in white with pleading eyes.

The questions from Mr. and Mrs. Lu kept making her dizzy.

It feels like every question has a trap.

How should I answer?

Can I make Zisha teapots?

Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

There's an old saying that goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself." If I dare to join the conversation, the topic will shift to me, and I'm not going to do something so stupid.

Then he recalled the insults the blonde girl had hurled at him during the day.

You've finally met your match, Aglaia.

Just as Lu Qing was watching the play, he felt his sleeve being tightly gripped. Looking down, he saw a small, white hand, as white as wax.

Lu Qing turned his head slightly and looked at the girl's golden eyes, which were about to burst into tears.

He chose to continue dealing with the meat on his plate.

Seeing that Lu Qing ignored her, Aglaia became angrier and angrier. She pressed her small feet, encased in white socks, firmly against Lu Qing's slippers.

Lu Qing subconsciously looked down, and out of the corner of his eye, he could inadvertently catch a glimpse of the girl wearing rabbit ear slippers, her pearly toes exposed, smooth and soft.

Her meaning was clear: if you don't help me, I'll crush you.

"No, are you a child?"

[Star: @Aglaia, so why did you reward him?]

[Aista: Don't let him step on you and hurt you, it hurts me.]

[Aglaia: Lu Qing, you're just so self-centered.]

"Aglaia, you stepped on my foot."

"Ah! Young master, I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Despite saying that, Aglaia showed no intention of putting her small feet down; instead, she pressed them down even tighter. Feeling the stinging pain in her feet, Lu Qing raised her head.

Made up my mind.

"What are you two old men doing? Are you interrogating a prisoner? Eat properly, don't talk while eating or sleeping, don't you know the rules? This dish has too little salt. If you can make it, do it; if you can't, have a professional chef make it."

Clearly, Lu Qing's words directly shifted the focus of the attack.

Lu's mother covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, how can you talk like that?"
