Seventeen times, how fast are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the crowd’s chants were tinged with obscenities, but most of them were made in a joking tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong gave an ambiguous smile to the crowd’s heckling, an angry blush appearing on her enchanting cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys are becoming more and more outrageous, I am an innocent girl. Midnight liaisons are just pure exchanges with those who support me. It’s not as vulgar as you think. If you keep talking nonsense, I might get angry and not sing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was mostly joking, no one would rudely ascribe any labels to Qu Lianghong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was just here for fun, a bit of joking around was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If taken seriously, it would ruin the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, no one could say for sure whether Qu Lianghong was actually performing the indescribable transactions behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, none of the ones chosen ever came back to the bar, and no one knew what the midnight liaisons were really about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people Qu Lianghong chose were peculiar and baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t transactions be based on money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were truly selling herself, then she would naturally pick those who looked rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qu Lianghong always chose those who looked penniless, there was never an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this bizarre affair, many people came out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was confirmed that Qu Lianghong was doing what they suspected, would there be so many patrons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who came to the bar to have fun always held some hope for an unforgettable romantic encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren’t all undemanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong picked five or six in one night.

He couldn’t say for certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qu Lianghong’s high-profile behavior was somewhat excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human-shaped demons hide in the world to live a better life among humans. They do involve themselves with various occupations to support their livelihood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Ji Qing, who ran a hot pot restaurant for a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a big deal if Qu Lianghong simply wanted to be the resident singer at the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had created such a huge gimmick, which was against the principle of human-shaped demons living inconspicuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she was really engaging in those kinds of transactions or not, is beside the point for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such blatant gimmicks to attract customers, it won’t be long before she will have to face official inquiries and investigations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she really fearless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side, Li Jing was perplexed, while Qu Lianghong surveyed the entire place and her gaze finally landed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes locked, and Li Jing was taken aback once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Qu Lianghong flashed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome, come on stage. Tonight, I’ll announce you first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was I really chosen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated and looked at Qu Lianghong’s health bar, which stood at a whopping 3312. Then, glancing at the envious eyes around him, he put on a smile and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in front automatically made way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the corner in the bar, Lu Yangcheng watched Li Jing become the first \"lucky one\" of the night, his eyes widening in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our king was chosen, what do we do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a good thing, let’s wait and watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Xiuzhu said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were talking, Li Jing had climbed on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong took the initiative and had already walked towards him before he even got on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing’s stiff smile as he came up, she laughed seductively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome, you seem a bit nervous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nervous isn’t the right word, just didn’t expect to be chosen suddenly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing seized the words and quickly adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his expression quickly go back to normal, Qu Lianghong gave him the microphone, a smile playing on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name? Would you mind telling us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing blinked at the microphone that had been thrust at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Yangcheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yangcheng, who was watching the stage, was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Xiuzhu, who generally had a cool demeanor, didn’t react other than a small twitch at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, when Qu Lianghong heard Li Jing’s response, she looked down and chuckled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone heard that, my first date for tonight is this handsome guy named Lu Yangcheng. Remember him, he might be the one who gets free drinks for a month at the bar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words were met with a chorus of cheers and all kinds of remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some thought Li Jing couldn’t make it, while others cheered him on and urged him to come again tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yangcheng gritted his teeth in anger at the variety of comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not worried about his name being spread online; what would it matter if his name became known?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was to spread his name, they would definitely have to spread his picture first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the picture doesn’t match with the name, it wouldn’t concern him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that instead of help, Li Jing was clearly try to sabotage him! It was a ruthless move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong kicked up the atmosphere again with an invite, and motioned him to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome, sit over there for a while. The show will end in around three hours, please wait till the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded and took a seat at the empty spot on the side of the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he settled down, the melodious music began, and Qu Lianghong, holding the microphone, returned to the center of the stage. Her eyes half-closed, swaying gently in tune with the music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise in the area quieted down, and the crowd grew silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spotlight, Qu Lianghong’s enchanting stature was hard to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the overture ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong’s lips parted, and the clear sound of singing rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the song, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Lianghong’s singing skills were really good, even comparable to a professional singer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was ready to listen carefully, his Clothing Protection Spirit suddenly reacted. Spiritual power, originally evenly distributed within his body, concentrated around his ears, blocking some invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling this sudden change, Li Jing’s eyes shot to Qu Lianghong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time his Clothing Protection Spirit had reacted on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this did not prevent him from realizing that there was something fishy about Qu Lianghong’s singing; it contained a hidden method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman, was a big problem!\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdad465c393936b79af15bf23a9876a21448c19427dc7c62d4accfd00ac27439","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-63","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-61",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
