Chapter 654: The Temptation of Picking Cards

It's well known that Bai Liang is genuinely easygoing.

But the Evil Kitten never expected him to be "easygoing" this far.

After jokingly saying, "How about we spice things up?" the other party simply replied, "Do it," leaving the Evil Kitten herself momentarily stunned—this was just too perverted~

If anyone caught this on camera, she and Bai Liang could literally "ascend to heaven" right now!

They might even rival the scandal caused by Teacher Chen in Xiangjiang back in 2008.

Of course, maybe not~

After all, Teacher Chen fell so hard and so fast mainly because he exposed too many female guests at once, causing massive backlash.

The Evil Kitten figured that if she and the Fox were alone, even if caught, she'd still be completely done for!

For a female celebrity to pull something like this, isn't it just career suicide?

Unless the two were doing it "openly and legitimately," say, under camera lenses.

Because then it wouldn't be a scandal—it'd be art.

Isn't that exactly how Tang Wei and Hao Lei did it?

Of course, theirs was fake—at least, everyone claims it was fake—it's just acting, right?

As for Bai Liang, the impact would be limited; at his level, a scandal of this kind wouldn't bring him down—not when it's not even illegal.

Even fixing it would be simple: the best move? He gets a real girlfriend.

That was the entirety of the Evil Kitten's inner monologue.

Now she was pondering whether to go all out.

Previous moves—stirring up CP rumors, buying trending topics—were just "warm-up," meant to make her appearance as "girlfriend" feel natural, not jarring.

Trying to follow the same path others took to overtake them was too hard; to stage a true comeback after falling so far behind, she needed something unconventional.

Evil cultivation is still cultivation; the Way of Zu is still the Dao.

This would be a career-risking overtaking maneuver!

"Your eyes seem off today."

The first words out of Bai Liang's mouth startled the Evil Kitten—damn, when did the Fox become this perceptive? Didn't he usually act like he was drugged, completely oblivious? Otherwise, how could he last so long?

Luckily, the Evil Kitten wasn't some amateur—she waved her hand and said, "What's all that gibberish? I don't get it. Come on, pick a card!"

"Pick a card?! What new trick are you pulling now?"

Bai Liang stared in surprise at the three cards she handed him—he was genuinely intrigued—but just as he reached to flip one over, the Evil Kitten stopped him.

"Hey, pick one first—no peeking!"

"Tell me what's on the back first!"

"It's a person~" the Evil Kitten purred, voice dripping with allure.

Paired with her curved brows and twinkling eyes, she looked utterly intoxicating.

"A person?"

Brilliant!

Bai Liang's gaze toward the Evil Kitten shifted—wait, how did you even get the other two to cooperate? Are you really giving me an Emperor's experience?

Their eyes met; the Evil Kitten grinned and nodded, as if saying: Exactly what you're thinking!

"I've chosen—the middle one!"

"Then flip it over~"

The card slowly turned—there, clearly printed, was the Evil Kitten's own signed photo.

"I knew you'd pick me!"

The Evil Kitten beamed, launching herself into Bai Liang's arms like a real kitten, rubbing her cheek frantically against his chin, cooing endlessly.

Only then did Bai Liang recognize it—this was just the little bonus card that came with fashion magazines.

These days, print fashion magazines had hit severe limits, nearly becoming pure fan merchandise.

So many now bundled "celebrity merch" with their sales, and these little cards were among the most popular with fans.

Bai Liang's own magazine shoots had handed out plenty of these—essentially a major driver of high sales.

So…

Bai Liang grabbed the Evil Kitten's head—this move, "Powerful Skull Splitter," was devastating when your palm was large enough!

But one thing she did well: she didn't insist Bai Liang go to the bathroom to "counterattack"—a wet wipe would do just fine.

But the next second, she froze—not because of the smell, but because the other two cards she'd secretly slipped into her pocket had somehow appeared in Bai Liang's hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk—I knew all three were you. Trying to trick me like this?"

Bai Liang was genuinely amused—he'd always wondered how Li Yitong could possibly get the other two to play along. Turns out she'd just been blowing smoke.

Plus, her props were poorly prepared—all three cards had identical backs, clearly from the same magazine set.

". Oh come on, just teasing you~ You don't want to pick me?"

Seeing her scheme exposed, the Evil Kitten immediately pouted, putting on a pitiful "rejected" expression.

If she hadn't been acting while sneaking glances at Bai Liang, her performance might've scored an 80.

"Not at all—but why go through all this?"

"To make you happy! Wasn't it exciting?"

". Yeah, a little exciting~" Bai Liang admitted honestly—who could resist the temptation of picking cards?

"Then… how about something even more exciting?"

The Evil Kitten's words now sounded like a demon's whisper, as if trying to drag Bai Liang into the abyss.

"What's more exciting? Did you bring new props?" Bai Liang's eyes lit up.

This "great inventor" of the entertainment industry always came up with something new—irresistible!

"No, I told you before, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Bai Liang's expression turned slightly strange: "You're serious?"

"If we're going to chase the thrill, then we go all the way!"

Seeing the other person acting as if Ellie had possessed them, Bai Liang had no choice but to likewise choose to "invite a spirit to possess him"!

"You're so wild~"

Because of Teacher Chen's lesson, fewer people took photos; because of Lin Dan's lesson, everyone started drawing the curtains.

However, Bai Liang actually wasn't afraid of these things at all.

He felt that even if he did something shady right under a surveillance camera, the camera would conveniently break down.

The reason he didn't take photos was simply because he genuinely had no hobby of photography.
