Chapter 152: Mary Sue Gets PUA'd, "Help Me Build a Harem; They're All Yours!" (1)
Things had improved significantly for Ella since Shia came into her life. He was someone who could share her burdens and bring warmth to her long-lonely heart.
Having been isolated for so long, she cherished the comfort he provided.
And besides… it wasn't betrayal.
Her eyes grew deep, her red lips moving slightly as she murmured to herself,
"You'll support me, won't you?"
"Teacher, what are you saying?"
The pleasant voice of a young girl pulled Ella back to reality.
She blinked, focusing on Lilith's face, and offered a soft smile.
"Nothing, just marveling at how thoughtful you are, Lilith. Your medicine works wonders."
Lilith's smile visibly widened, though she quickly followed up with a modest response.
"You flatter me, Teacher. It was nothing; it's what I should do."
Still, the praise from her mentor filled her with joy.
While it seemed like a trivial matter, this was a crucial step for Lilith. After earning her teacher's praise once, it opened the door to endless possibilities in the future.
Surely, Ella now appreciated and trusted her deeply—though she might be reserved and restrained due to her role as a teacher.
Lilith, completely misreading the situation, envisioned fireworks going off in her mind, basking in her self-perceived success.
She had no idea that she had unwittingly handed an assist to someone else.
Ella, watching the faint trace of pride on Lilith's face, couldn't help but admire her generosity.

After offering her care to Ella, Lilith was in high spirits as she moved on to the next phase of her plan: comforting her fiancé and healing his supposedly "wounded" heart.
"Teacher, Shia must have caused you a lot of trouble. As his fiancée, I'll make sure to discipline him properly so your teaching can proceed more smoothly!"
Lilith's determined proclamation was met with a faint sense of gratitude from Ella, though she doubted Lilith's promise could truly resolve Shia's boundless energy.
Not that Ella minded it herself.
"Your resolve is admirable, Lilith," Ella said with a gentle smile.
Lilith, however, didn't wait for the "but" that Ella had yet to say. With her chin held high, she spoke confidently.
"Don't worry, Teacher. I'll personally ensure he improves."
With that, she excused herself and left.

Lilith had made up her mind. This was the perfect time to provide her fiancé with some much-needed care and comfort.
If anyone suggested her approach might be manipulative, she'd dismiss it outright.
'Caring for him as his fiancée is my duty!'
Reflecting on Shia's recent distant behavior, Lilith realized that mere words of affection—oh wait, 'praise'—might have come across as too hollow.
To bridge the gap, she needed to combine words with actions, showing him both love and care.
The conclusion? Shia had to feel her love and devotion anew, securing his loyalty and willingness to give even more for her.
To achieve this, Lilith devised the perfect plan:
A combination of seduction and emotional appeal.
She would draw him into her warmth with her beauty, then strike the emotional chords to deepen his attachment.
Dressed for the occasion, Lilith ensured every detail of her appearance was flawless:
- Semi-sheer black stockings encased her long, slender legs, which swayed gracefully with every step.
- Soft red heels replaced her usual domineering footwear, exuding elegance and charm.
- A fitted beige knit sweater paired with a vibrant red skirt added a youthful vibrancy to her look.
Her golden hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, softening her usual bold demeanor.

She found Shia in the park, sitting on a bench and gazing at the scenery.
"Shia."
Her warm smile accompanied her soft greeting as she approached.
'He must be licking his wounds after that harsh reprimand from Teacher.'
Shia turned to look at her, nodding briefly in acknowledgment. His expression was calm, almost distant.
He wasn't ready to return home yet; Lilith mistook his hesitation for vulnerability.
As she walked toward him, her heels clicked delicately against the cobblestone path. Her face softened with a trace of pity.
Sitting beside him, she reached for his hands, her voice filled with tenderness.
"Are you alright?"
"Teacher means well. Her reprimand was for your benefit."
"I even spoke up on your behalf just now. That's why I took so long to find you."
"How's your… injury?"
Shia chuckled lightly, shaking his head without a direct answer.
Taking this as a sign of his pride, Lilith decided not to press the issue.
Instead, she sat down on the grass, stretching out her legs. Her already long, graceful limbs appeared even more striking.
'Legs for days,' as one might say.
"Come here," she said, patting her lap.
The soft black stockings shimmered slightly in the sunlight, her thighs appearing plump and inviting as they gently quivered.
Her delicate hand, fair against the dark stockings, enhanced the allure of her subtle movements.
Shia understood the offer immediately.
Resting his head on her lap, he closed his eyes, the filtered sunlight through the leaves creating a serene atmosphere.
The warmth of her lap and the cool breeze combined into a moment of pure relaxation.
As Shia sighed contentedly, Lilith smiled. Her plan was unfolding perfectly.
Her hand gently combed through his hair, her fingers massaging his scalp with just the right pressure.
The soft sounds of her touch and the soothing rhythm melted away his tension, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.
Lilith's satisfaction grew as she watched his peaceful demeanor.
Phase one, beauty and care, complete.
Now for the emotional appeal.
