"Perhaps it's because you're pretty, and the person who imprisoned you took a liking to you?" Ye Zi said.
"I didn't even get to see what the person who imprisoned me looked like before I was locked up. My teacher once warned me not to come here, saying it was a magical country where unbelievable things could happen. It's all my fault for being greedy; I believed Tom's nonsense just to earn a bit more, and ended up offending someone I shouldn't have."
Ye Zi found Joanna's words quite relatable. She herself had come here and couldn't go back. She still didn't know how Guo Xu Yang had figured out a way to keep her. Time would tell, and there was no rush; she would eventually know the truth.
Guo Xu Yang was woken up by Yu'er. After sleeping for a while, his drowsiness wore off, and he felt much more comfortable. Seeing Yu'er dare to lie on his stomach while he was fast asleep, he simply flipped over, pinning her beneath him.
"Comfortable?"
"Comfortable. Just a bit tired."
"Then enjoy it to your heart's content. I'll take over from here."
Guo Xu Yang channeled the spirit of a hardworking ox, immersing himself wholeheartedly, unwavering in his resolve. He sent Yu'er soaring to one cloud after another. Finally, with a muffled groan from Guo Xu Yang, they both ascended to the peak of bliss.
Regaining his senses, Guo Xu Yang suddenly overheard the conversation between Ye Zi and Joanna. In such a short time, the two had become friends who talked about everything. It had to be said that Ye Zi's social skills were quite good.
"Master, what's wrong?" Ye Zi asked, noticing Guo Xu Yang seemed a little lost in thought.
"Nothing. Ye Zi, were you chatting with someone else inside?"
"Ye Zi?" Yu'er suddenly recalled what she had just done with Guo Xu Yang, and her face turned crimson. She had forgotten that Guo Xu Yang had absorbed Ye Zi into his mind.
"What were they talking about?"
"Ye Zi was digging into the other person's background."
"I know about that; I've already communicated with Joanna."
"Huh? How come I didn't know?"
"You were too busy flirting with others outside to pay attention to me?"
"That's a mistake men make. Haven't you heard? Women love bad boys."
"You're going too far! Look at how many women you have. If you had one each day, you wouldn't repeat the same one in a week. I'm relatively alright, but can you control those other women? Aren't you afraid they'll leave?"
"None of my women have ever left. I know that for sure."
"Master, you shouldn't hypnotize your girlfriends. That way, they have absolutely no privacy. It's better not to know now, but if they find out, they'll definitely leave you. By then, you might regret it too late."
Guo Xu Yang felt that what Yu'er said made a lot of sense. Although hypnosis allowed him to know these people's secrets and control them subconsciously, it was also a ticking time bomb. Sooner or later, it might explode and drive all the women around him away. Contentment brings happiness. From now on, he truly shouldn't fall for every woman he sees.
With this thought, Guo Xu Yang actually released Joanna.
"You can go now."
"Who are you?" Joanna asked impatiently. Suddenly, she cried out in excitement, "Oh my god, I'm free! I'm out! Did you save me?"
Guo Xu Yang was a bit speechless. Joanna actually thought he was her savior. This was a classic case of mistaking the enemy for a father.
