Stepping out of the car, Han Lang couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion as he looked at the flashing neon sign above the Suprehouse entrance.
It was in this very bar that he had been beaten to within an inch of his life by Gou Tuizhi's bodyguards, even dragging his father into serious injury. If it weren't for the fortuitous acquisition of the memories of Shennong Tianyi and the Medicine Sovereign from another world, he and his father would likely be long gone.
"What's wrong, Brother Han Lang? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Jiaying noticed Han Lang's unusual demeanor and quickly stepped forward, asking with concern.
"Oh, no! Just recalling some past events. Let's go in!"
Han Lang offered a casual excuse, and the group entered the bar together.
For the several beauties who were experiencing a bar for the first time, the wild music and the crowds in the dance floor, who were letting loose, quickly infected them. They became exceptionally excited and animated.
"What would you like to drink?"
Han Lang, being an experienced driver, led everyone to a table, calmly took the menu from the waiter, and handed it to Luo Jiaying and the others, asking politely.
"Uh... this is our first time here, we don't know what to order."
The several beauties appeared a bit troubled.
"Yes, and it seems like everything on here is alcohol. I'm not much of a drinker."
"Me neither. Can we order drinks instead?"
To go to a bar and not drink?
Han Lang looked at them as if he had discovered a new continent, but he soon relaxed. After all, it was their first time out, and they were all girls. Their reaction was understandable.
This was the moment for Han Lang's extensive experience as an old driver to shine.
He patiently suggested.
"There are drinks, but I still suggest you order a little alcohol. Don't drink too much, just enough to feel a slight buzz, enough to relax and let yourselves go. That way, you'll dare to release yourselves freely and boldly, fully immersing yourselves in the atmosphere, and truly feel the excitement and pleasure of nightlife. Otherwise, if you remain so reserved, you'll just be watching others have fun and might not experience much yourself."
Hearing Han Lang's words, the several beauties hesitated.
Since they had decided to come, they naturally wanted to let loose and have a good experience, but...
"What if we get drunk? Isn't it said that places like this... have many men with ill intentions?"
Xiao Ru's voice grew softer as she spoke, appearing somewhat shy. Han Lang, however, smiled slightly and replied.
"There are indeed many men with ill intentions in places like this, but there are also no small number of women with impure motives, so let's view it rationally!"
"But rest assured, with me here today, you can indulge yourselves. However, in the future, if you don't have a trustworthy male companion, I still advise you to drink only until you're slightly tipsy, never to the point of unconsciousness, as it's easy to encounter those with ill intentions!"
Lulu and the other two beauties were still hesitant after hearing this, but after Luo Jiaying whispered some words to them with a giggle, they immediately agreed with shocked expressions.
"Alright, then we'll let loose today!"
"Brother Han Lang, please help us choose some good-tasting drinks. We want to drink to our heart's content!"
"Lulu, are you looking for a beating again!"
Choosing drinks was second nature to Han Lang, who had frequented such places for years. However, to accommodate the several beauties, he specifically selected drinks with lower alcohol content, good taste, and a smooth entry.
Before long, the vibrantly colored drinks were served. The women marveled at the brilliant hues as they began to sip them one after another.
As the alcohol gradually took effect, they began to get accustomed to the bar's clamor, their eyes becoming slightly hazy under the influence of the alcohol.
"Let's go, let's dance too!"
Lulu, being the most unrestrained among them, grabbed the others and prepared to enter the dance floor. Luo Jiaying was still a little worried and instinctively looked at Han Lang.
Han Lang nodded at her, and only then did she completely relax, following the others onto the dance floor to let loose.
Just then, a heavily made-up woman in revealing attire passed by inadvertently. The moment she saw Han Lang, she became exceptionally delighted and was about to throw herself into his arms with a sweet voice.
Han Lang dodged quickly, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you?"
The woman first gave him a flirtatious look that made his scalp tingle, then said with a pitiful demeanor.
"Brother Han, how long has it been since you last visited me? You don't even recognize me anymore! I think about you every day."
Brother Han?
Han Lang's skin crawled, but he seemed to recall something.
Before acquiring the memories of Shennong Tianyi and the Medicine Sovereign from another world, he was a notorious womanizer who frequented various nightlife venues. He didn't even know how many romantic debts he had! The woman in front of him was most likely one of his romantic entanglements.
"How could I have been attracted to such a person before? My taste was truly terrible!"
Han Lang inwardly scorned his past self while fending off the woman's disgusting, fiery red lips.
The woman sensed Han Lang's change and sat down not far away, looking wronged. Tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Brother Han, do you really not like me anymore? You used to say you'd visit me every few days, but then you'd be gone for over a month. Do you know how hard it was for me to wait for you?"
Han Lang looked at her awkward acting with disgust, while his eyes kept glancing at the faint white figure of Luo Jiaying on the dance floor. He was worried they might return at any moment, so he didn't want to get too entangled with the woman in front of him. Thus, he feigned ignorance.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know you! Please leave, okay?"
The woman seemed oblivious to Han Lang's disdain. Not only did she not move, but she continued her awkward performance.
"Brother, are you really this heartless? Were all those vows of love you made to me back then just lies?"
Han Lang felt like he was going to vomit, but what worried him more was that if this woman continued to pester him, and Luo Jiaying saw this scene when she returned, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a thousand mouths.
So, he forced himself to endure the nausea and said.
"Alright, my dear sister! Brother knows your feelings. However, Brother is really not in the mood today, so let's not pretend. Here's ten thousand yuan, considered a treat from your brother. Brother will look for you next time there's an opportunity, okay?"
The woman took the money flirtatiously, pouted her pink lips, and blew Han Lang a kiss from afar.
"Okay, Brother Han! Then you must remember to look for me next time!"
Han Lang gritted his teeth and nodded repeatedly.
"Definitely, definitely!"
Watching the woman leave, Han Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear. He couldn't help but feel fortunate.
"Good thing she's just a pleasure worker; a little money could settle it. If it were those other debts, I'd probably have to shed a layer of skin today, even if I didn't die! I can't come here again next time!"
As Han Lang was thinking this, a commotion suddenly erupted from the dance floor. Han Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran over.
Before Han Lang could push through the crowd, he heard a familiar voice say condescendingly.
"You come out to play without even figuring out whose territory this is. Are you girls too bold? If everyone who drinks my alcohol can just leave so easily, how can Gou Tuizhi operate in the future!"
Gou Tuizhi?
It was indeed him!
