Chapter 40 – Young Lady’s Princess Syndrome



“But you can use it.” After Ye Xiaoye finished speaking, she no longer paid any attention to Xiao Chen. Instead, she began to fiddle around with earthenware pot to brew medicine, preparing to boil the medicinal stew.

Xiao Chen did not expect Ye Xiaoye to speak these words and could not help but gratefully say: “Thank you, for the next few days I will be learning how to cook. Therefore, we will have to eat instant noodles for a few days. Wait for when I finish learning, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Since Ye Xiaoye was magnanimous, Xiao Chen naturally felt a need to release some good intentions. After all, they were all living under one roof and Xiao Chen did not want to make their relationship so stiff.

“Oh…” Ye Xiaoye seemed to think little of it, faintly responding. She did not raise her head, but carefully fiddled around with her pot of herbs.

Very quickly, the hot water was ready. Xiao Chen infused it into two bowls of instant noodles, carried it into the living room and gave one bowl to Cheng Mengying, the other bowl to himself. He opened up the lid, then ate it up like a tornado sweeping through a city.

Cheng Mengying slowly opened up the lunch box lid and ate the noodles in small mouthfuls. It really didn’t need to be mentioned, but the taste of the instant noodles was good. However, hearing Xiao Chen eating the noodles with a ‘Hulu hulu’ sound, she suddenly was a bit angry: “Hey, in front of this Young Lady, can’t you act like a gentleman? No wonder the engagement was broken off. From your behavior, who would want to marry you?”

“Pu…” Xiao Chen sprayed out a mouthful of noodles and they directly went into the Young Lady’s lunch box: “Cough cough…you were the one to break off the engagement. Didn’t you just now know that I eat a meal well? Listening to your tone, it seems like the one who broke off the engagement was other people?”

“Xiao Chen, I want to kill you!” Cheng Mengying could not manage the matter of breaking of the engagement regardless. When she looked down at the lunch box in her hands, which hung out half of the noodles that Xiao Chen sprayed out, Cheng Mengying’s eyes sprayed out fire: “How am I going to eat this?”

“Eh……sorry……” Xiao Chen helplessly scratched his head, could this be blamed on him? If Cheng Mengying had not said those strange words, would he laugh?

“What use does sorry have?” Cheng Mengying had just been eating happily, feeling that the taste wasn’t bad. Now there was no way to eat, unless she wanted to eat Xiao Chen’s saliva.

“I’ll eat this, I’ll make you another bowl.” Xiao Chen had not eaten his fill. With his appetite, one package would not do. After he finished speaking, he took the lunch box out of the Young Lady’s hands and directly poured it into his bowl, then walked towards the kitchen while eating.

When Cheng Mengying heard that Xiao Chen was going to make her another bowl of noodles, much of the anger in her heart dissipated: “This Young Lady will give you a chance to make up for it. Do not put the vegetables package into the instant noodles, dried food is not delicious!”

Cheng Mengying happened to not like eating the vegetable package that came along with instant noodles, so this time he could save some trouble.

However, looking at Xiao Chen eat with relish, Cheng Mengying suddenly discovered something wrong and angrily said: “Xiao Chen, you are taking advantage of me!”

“?” Xiao Chen was a bit confused, thinking in his heart ‘how did I take advantage of you’: “I bought the instant noodles, so eat two bags can’t be said that I took advantage of you, right?”

“You……you you you you……” Cheng Mengying did not know how to explain and choked on words for a long time, then only said: “You want to indirectly kiss me!”

“Haa?!” Listening to the Young Lady’s marvelous explanation, Xiao Chen understood at that moment. ‘So eating the Young Lady’s leftovers is an indirect kiss?’ Xiao Chen immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“You go to a hotel to sleep, can’t you understand that many people go there to have sex?1” Ye Xiaoye happened to walk out of the kitchen, in order to go to the refrigerator to take out things. Upon hearing Cheng Mengying’s words, she suddenly coldly said: “Don’t use ignorance as personality.”

“You……you you you you!” After Cheng Mengying heard Ye Xiaoye’s words, she was immediately angered speechless: “Xiao Chen, explain for this Young Lady!”

“Beyond ordering other people, what can you do?” Ye Xiaoye took an unknown package from inside the refrigerator’s storage box, then removed a small fruit. After taking it out she put the package back inside the refrigerator and turned around back to the kitchen.

When had Cheng Mengying ever received such anger? This Ye Xiaoye was truly bad, ever since they had moved in, she was in direct opposition for everything for these two days. If it went on for a long time, Cheng Mengying really feared that she would be angered to death!

Xiao Chen finished eating the noodles, washed the Young Lady’s lunch box clean, heated up some water, and remade the Young Lady’s instant noodles. Just as Ye Xiaoye came back into the kitchen, Xiao Chen could not help but say: “Ye Xiaoye, I have no problems with Mengying’s commands. I am her servant and these things are what I should be doing.”

“Miserable wretch.” Ye Xiaoye’s eyes flashed with a trace of contempt: “There are still people who want to be the servant of others.”

Xiao Chen could not help but bitterly laugh, it wasn’t that he liked being Cheng Mengying’s servant, but rather, he did not have any other means! Moreover, if it wasn’t for Cheng Mengying sheltering him, he would not have any idea on what to do. But these secrets, Xiao Chen could not explain them to Ye Xiaoye, so he only shrugged and laughed: “Everyone has their own helplessness. You can’t change your life, only adapt to it.”

Ye Xiaoye’s expression slightly changed, but she did not say anything. Instead, she took the small fruit she removed from the refrigerator and threw it into the medicinal stew that was brewing in the earthenware pot. Almost instantly, the kitchen was filled with the smell of herbs.

The medicinal stew’s smell was naturally a strong bad smell. ‘If this Young Lady’s instant noodles is polluted by the medicinal stew smell, then the smooth and fragrant flavor from before will be gone.’ This made Cheng Mengying reveal some dissatisfaction. Throwing the lunch box out of her hands, she shouted towards the direction of the kitchen: “Some people truly do not have public spirit. This house is shared, but someone actually messes around and wants to give others a dirty flavor. Do you want to smoke others to death? If you want to boil medicine, go to your own house to boil, don’t affect others!”

But what made Cheng Mengying dumbfounded was that Ye Xiaoye actually walked out of the kitchen. She coldly looked at Cheng Mengying’s eyes, went back in to unplug the power from the earthenware pot and came out of the kitchen holding the earthenware pot……

Cheng Mengying was shocked. This Ye Xiaoye wouldn’t be crazy enough to soak her with that pot of boiling medicine, right? However, Ye Xiaoye did not stay. Not fearing any burns, she directly went to carry the earthenware pot upstairs. After a moment, there was a sound of a closing door upstairs. It was obvious that Ye Xiaoye had brought the medicinal stew to her room!

This move made Xiao Chen a little surprised, but now it seemed that Ye Xiaoye was not an unreasonable person. As long as it was wrong, she would modestly comply.

Just, this suffering hardships Young Lady Cheng Mengying, with great difficulty, had found a reason to attack Ye Xiaoye, but the result was like punching cotton. Ye Xiaoye really modestly complied. She went back to her room to brew medicine, but the Young Lady did not have even a little sense of victory.

“Hmph!” Cheng Mengying picked up the lunch box and continued to eat. However, Cheng Mengying was gnashing her teeth as if the noodles inside the box were Ye Xiaoye.

Xiao Chen felt that Young Lady Cheng at the moment was very lovable. If he had understood her at an earlier time, perhaps he would like her very much right? After all, this proud disposition was very lovable and Princess Syndrome could be understood……

But the current Xiao Chen was clear about his position. He wasn’t Xiao Family’s Young Master anymore and the relationship with Cheng Mengying was only the one between a master and servant, thus Xiao Chen could not have any improper ambitions.

He did not want to anger Cheng Old Master before making clear of the mastermind behind the scenes. That old man was still immersing in the pain of losing a child and although Xiao Chen’s treatment was a bit undeserved, it could be understood. Who could be calm with a dead son?

After the Young Lady finished eating the instant noodles, she looked at Xiao Chen’s eyes, then said: “I am going to go upstairs……to sleep, you can rest.”

“He he, okay.” Xiao Chen knew that Cheng Mengying feared thinking about last night’s matter, but Xiao Chen cleverly did not mention it. If it was before, when he was still Cheng Mengying’s fiance, then Xiao Chen would not mind being a bit ambiguous with Cheng Mengying, but right now, it would be asking for trouble.

After Xiao Chen brushed the Young Lady’s lunch box clean, he casually picked a room downstairs and put all of his clothes into the closet. Because he was not at home last night, Xiao Chen did not have any time to organize his luggage.

Of course, the room Xiao Chen picked was a room relatively close to the villa’s door. As long as the villa entrance had the slightest sign of trouble, Xiao Chen would discover it first. After all, Xiao Chen currently has a Spiritual Force that others cannot match up to.

After appropriately tidying everything up, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and started revolving the “Seizing Good Fortune War Mantra” mental mantra, beginning his cultivation for the night.

…………

Inside Songning City’s First People’s Hospital ward, Lou Zhenming and Shou Hou sat opposite to Ma Gangmen’s bed, anxiously waiting for Lei Dianfeng’s message.

All of the sudden, a rapid ringtone resounded from his cellphone. Lou Zhenming quickly picked up the cellphone: “Teacher Lei.”

“Young Master Ming, not good, Vicious Wolf died!” Lei Dianfeng voice was a bit anxious: “Just now, some news arrived. Vicious Wolf died in a small alleyway!”

“What?!Vicious Wolf died? How can this be? Didn’t he go to kill Xiao Chen? Could it be that Xiao Chen is an expert?” After Lou Zhenming heard this piece of news, he was suddenly very startled. He would have never thought that would Vicious Wolf die. How could a Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior not cope with an ordinary person that had strength less than a First Layer Inner Qi?

“It wasn’t Xiao Chen’s kill. The person who killed Vicious Wolf has an unknown identity, but evidently, his strength is about the same as Vicious Wolf because there are two bodies at the scene. From this scene, it should be that both people perished together. There are traces of fighting on the scene that perfectly match along with their injuries!” Lei Dianfeng said. After all, although Xiao Chen had dealt the last fatal blow, because Xiao Chen only punched once and due to these people’s impressions, they naturally ignored Xiao Chen’s presence.

“Who such minds other people’s business? Could it be that Xiao Chen has an expert on his side?” Lou Zhenming frowned. One has to know, Vicious Wolf’s strength was not weak. However, since this man perished along with Vicious Wolf, he was at least a Third Layer Inner Qi expert.

Moreover, Vicious Wolf had an underground boxing boxer background. He was an outlaw that dared to fight with his life on line. If one wanted to behead Vicious Wolf, anyone under Third Layer Inner Qi would be finished for!



 


  1. TLN: No idea…here’s what she says: “你去賓館睡覺,是不是可以理解為和很多人間接上床了?” 

Chapter 39 – That Kettle Is Mine



After speaking these words, the black-clothed man’s body heavily collapsed onto the ground. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood and died with his eyes open! He was unwilling! Not only did he not think that Xiao Chen had a bodyguard, but also did not think that Xiao Chen himself was a Warrior, moreover, a Peak First Layer Inner Qi!
Xiao Chen’s striking strength was truly the strength of a Peak First Layer Inner Qi!

“Hu….” Xiao Chen let out a breath of foul air and secretly thought that it was a close call. If he had been hit by the black-clothed man’s punch, even though he wouldn’t die, he would be seriously injured. There was no doctor nor medicine beside him, so he feared that he would not have been able to get up for several months!

If he didn’t recover well, then it would affect his future strength. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not regret killing the black-clothed man; he just regretted not determining whose person he was! But even if the black-clothed man didn’t die, it was to be estimated that he would still not say anything from seeing the black-clothed man’s reaction. It was obvious that he would die loyal, so Xiao Chen could only look for flaws on the man’s body.

However, what made Xiao Chen very disappointed was that this black-clothed man seemed to be a very cautious person. This could also be seen from his previous silence; he was a person who was ready to die. There was nothing on his body to find out his identity, not even a cell phone or ID card, the only other thing besides the clothing on his body was a photo!

Only, this photo was Xiao Chen’s photo. Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen thought that the man was probably afraid of mixing up mistaking someone else for him. Other than that, there was nothing and this is what made Xiao Chen very disappointed.

What made Xiao Chen have some doubts was the character behind him. Why did he hide his strength? Could it be that there were other people hiding strength?

“Tian Lao, if he hadn’t died, would you be able to use Spiritual Force to ask some things? Like hypnosis?” Xiao Chen asked somewhat regretfully because he suddenly thought of this possibility.

“It would not be possible. His body was too feeble and I am currently a Spirit, also very weak. Being able to influence that Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior from before was already not easy and you want to hypnotize?” Tian Lao categorically denied Xiao Chen’s idea: “If your strength was a bit higher, then you would be able to try, but you currently definitely cannot.”

“Fine.” Xiao Chen gave up looking for clues from the black-clothed man’s body and turned to the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior that had died before. This person looked like a fierce and ruthless person; there was a hideous scar on his face and from one look, it could be seen that he wasn’t a good person.

Xiao Chen bent down and began to search the man’s body for things. Only, what made Xiao Chen disappointed was that this guy also seemed to be useless; his body had no valuable things at all. After searching for a long time, Xiao Chen uncovered a card.

“Number 3 Boxer, Vicious Wolf.”

These were the only words on the card. This seemed to be similar to cards that an athlete would use to identify themselves pre-game; could it be that this man was an athlete? But seeing that this card was not too formal, it should not be that much of a large-scale competition, which virtually increased the difficulty of Xiao Chen identifying the man’s status!

After all, only a school, company, or unit would hold sports competitions. Even if this person was a game athlete, Xiao Chen did not even know where sports competitions would be held.

Of course, boxing, this sport, was rarely seen. Unless it was some school club community competition, companies and units would generally not hold this sport. Could it be that this person was a student from school?

Just as this idea came out, Xiao Chen immediately shook his head, denying the speculation! After all, this man looked around 30 to 40 years-old, how could there be a student that was as old as an uncle?

Moreover, this man’s face was ferocious. No one would think that he was a student from a look, especially, that long scar across his face. It was more likely that he was an evil tyrant.

As a result, could it be a gang inside the sports competitions?

Right! Xiao Chen suddenly thought of an underground movement within Songning City——Illegal Boxing! Previously, when Xiao Chen was Young Master Xiao, he would often go with Chen Jinpeng, Zhu Yingxiong, Zhao Yuliang to underground racing events. And similar to underground racing, there was also the underground movement of illegal boxing!

Although Xiao Chen had not partaken in it, he had heard of it. The methods that local gangsters used to amass wealth were betting on vehicles and betting on boxers! One has to know, there are many external spectators betting; if these numbers were added these up, it would be a very huge digit.

And this scarred face conformed with the image of a underground boxer. Xiao Chen feared that this card was his competition entry card and that the man probably did not think that this would be an important thing, therefore, he didn’t discard it.

Or perhaps this scar face originally planned to kill himself then afterwards go to the underground illegal boxing field to box, therefore he would retain this card! But he probably had not even dream that he would stay here forever!

Xiao Chen took the card and put it into his pocket. As for the picture on the black-clothed man’s body, he actually did not take it away. If he took it away, then it may arouse suspicion and make the mastermind know that this black-clothed man’s death was related to him.

Xiao Chen’s current goal was not to make clear of the two masterminds and their relationship, but to make the two people have a conflict, to create an accident that will make them mutually fight to the death.
But now it seems that Xiao Chen’s layout is very successful; no one would put the doubt on him!

After completing all this, Xiao Chen did not stop here for the slightest and turned around to leave. Although it had been a long time and this place had no people passing through, Xiao Chen could not guarantee that no one would come for a longer period of time. Xiao Chen did not want anyone to see him here!

Quickly leaving the inauspicious place, Xiao Chen let loose a sigh of relief. Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Force could perceive that no one was within the vicinity.

After leaving this deserted alley, he discovered that the outside had heavy traffic. Xiao Chen casually walked down the street to find a convenience store and went inside. He walked to a shelf with cookbooks and took one, then also took several bags of biscuits and instant noodles, in addition to lunch boxes and other things. After paying the expenses, he went towards the villa area.

Because Xiao Chen had previously been pretending to be a dandy, he normally could not find any opportunities to cook in the kitchen. Therefore, making him directly go to the kitchen to prepare a meal was truly not realistic. He had no choice but to buy some fast food for the first two days, learn how to make prepare food and dishes, and then go grocery shopping.

“Where did you go?” Just as Xiao Chen entered, Cheng Mengying asked this with a disgruntled face! ‘I have been at home being angered to death by Ye Xiaoye, that damn girl! Ye Xiaoye had made herself a bowl of instant noodles, making the living room smell fragrant and it made this Young Lady became increasingly gluttonous. With great difficulty, I put down face and asked Ye Xiaoye for a bag but the result was her cold sentence: Buy it if you want to eat it!’

This made Cheng Mengying fume with anger!

Cheng Mengying was very hungry or else she wouldn’t have a liking for a bag of instant noodles! After she got off of Jin Beibei’s car, she suddenly remembered that the villa had no food! Why did she go out out yesterday evening, moreover sleep on Xiao Chen’s body? Was it not to go get something to eat?

If Ye Xiaoye wouldn’t give any then she wouldn’t. Cheng Mengying was in the living room waiting for Xiao Chen, waiting for Xiao Chen to come back so that he could take her to eat something. However, after waiting for a long time, she did not even see a trace Xiao Chen’s shadow. She had thought about giving Xiao Chen a call, but actually discovered that she did not have Xiao Chen’s phone number, and was embarrassed to give Cheng Zhongming a call to ask. Thus, the Young Lady could only wait in the living room. Very quickly, just she was becoming a stone statue, Xiao Chen unhurriedly appeared.

Xiao Chen was a bit bewildered about the Young Lady’s attitude; why was she so angry when there were no problems? But thinking about it, he had truly wasted a lot of time. However, there was the matter of being attacked on the road, but it wasn’t something that he was going to say to Cheng Mengying, so Xiao Chen had no better option but to raise up the convenience store bag and say: “I feared that we wouldn’t have anything to eat tonight, so I went to go buy some biscuits and instant noodles!”

“Ah? You went to buy…something to eat?”Cheng Mengying’s face reddened, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed. Originally, Xiao Chen had a reason for coming back so late. He had been thinking about her and buying something for her to eat! But, although Young Lady Cheng was thinking this inside her heart, due to her prideful personality, she put on the appearance of not caring about it: “Oh, instant noodles? This Young Lady has never eaten this kind of thing before, but since there is nothing to eat, this Young Lady will give you face and will reluctantly eat a bit of it!”

Previously, Xiao Chen had not discovered that Cheng Mengying was so proud, but now that he had more contact with her, he felt that the Young Lady was very fun to play with. He almost could not hold back his laugh, but Xiao Chen was afraid of Cheng Mengying becoming embarrassed, so he pretended that he didn’t know anything and said: “Many thanks for the Young Lady giving face!”

“Quickly go make the instant noodles, this Young Lady is very hungry.” Cheng Mengying sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the tv.

Just as Ye Xiaoye came downstairs to brew some medicine in the kitchen, she saw this scene, so she could not help but curl her lip, and disdainfully say: “Ability to command other people.”

“Who are you talking about?” Cheng Mengying already had a bias on Ye Xiaoye. Having that many bags of instant noodles and she still wouldn’t give her a bag? Now that Xiao Chen was making noodles for her, she was still running off sarcastic comments, truly hateful!

“The one who said it, did it.” Ye Xiaoye stated neutrally. After she finished talking, she ignored Cheng Mengying and minding her own business, entered the kitchen.

Young Lady Cheng was almost angered to stupidity, but she could not refute anything because Ye Xiaoye’s words were very clear. The person who said it, did it; if Cheng Mengying refuted, then would it be recognizing that the one Ye Xiaoye was referred to was her? Wouldn’t that be like asking for a scolding?

Ye Xiaoye, I’ll remember this! Cheng Mengying fiercely wrote down today’s matter in her heart.

Xiao Chen was in the kitchen about to use a kettle to boil water, but after entering the kitchen, Xiao Chen discovered that he had forgotten to buy a kettle. Fortunately, there was one in the kitchen, otherwise Xiao Chen would have had to run out to get one.

Ye Xiaoye walked into the kitchen and upon seeing that Xiao Chen was using a kettle to boil water, said: “That kettle is mine.”

“Ah?” Xiao Chen was surprised for a moment. ‘Thinking about Ye Xiaoye’s overbearingness yesterday, perhaps she will take back this kettle.’ He could not help but force a smile.


Chapter 38 – Both Dead



Of course, if someone started talking before the two people started fighting, then it would be possible for the flaws to be revealed. However, the two people couldn’t divert their attentions and talk at this moment. Whoever got distracted and talked would receive bad luck, so the two people tacitly sealed their mouths. ‘You come I attack’, fighting without playfulness!

And Xiao Chen, although he only had strength equivalent to a Peak First Layer Inner Qi, his battle experience was lacking. In school, even if he fought others, it was only fighting between students, not a brutal fight of military ‘if you don’t die I do’. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not depart and instead stood in the distance carefully watching the fight between the two men, watching their tactics and how they solved each other’s tactics, learning some experience. When it came time for when he had to fight an enemy, he wouldn’t be taken by surprise.

Although both people were going all out, the strength gap was very obvious. One had just became a Third Layer Inner Qi, while the other was a Peak Third Layer Inner Qi one step into Fourth Layer Inner Qi. Unconsciously, the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior started getting into a disadvantageous situation, but even though the other Peak Third Layer Inner Qi was getting the upper hand, he obviously wasn’t feeling any better because his body suffered not too few attacks. This caused his speed to suffer, but the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was in an even more worse situation!

Very quickly, both their strengths appeared to be weak due to the both people going all out and suffering severe injuries!

The Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior and Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior were complaining incessantly in their hearts. They did not think that the opposite party would be so difficult to deal with. This was practically putting another’s life before one’s own! The two people were forced to pull out all their skills. ‘Even if I am injured, I must clench my teeth to persist. Whoever shrinks back and waits a bit, then that person will be dead!’

The Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior’s heart became increasingly cold. The opposite party was extremely difficult to deal with; even though he was already going all out, he was still losing ground. He feared that the final result would definitely be him dying on the spot!

Thinking up to here, the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior’s eyes had a flash of ruthlessness! In any case he was going to die, so it would be better to pull someone with him into death’s door! That’s right, that Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was the wanted outlaw that Lou Zhenming asked for through Lei Dianfeng. He had long ago disregarded life and death, so since he would die today, then he might as well give his death some value!

“Die for me!” The Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior suddenly changed his previous attack and defense battle style and didn’t give mind to his weakness, fist suddenly pounding towards the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior’s head!

The Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior’s eyes flashed with horror. He didn’t think that the opposite party would use a last resort move to end the fighting! But thinking for a bit, the opposite party was Xiao Chen’s bodyguard, so protecting the master so loyally was reasonable!

Therefore, the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was also forced to fight recklessly. He knew that his strength and this “Xiao San’s” strength was about the same, so he absolutely wouldn’t be able to run away even if he wanted to. Once he showed a weakness, the opposite party would take advantage of it to obtain victory, and he would die miserably!

Now under the resolute risk of life, if there was a leeway, perhaps he wouldn’t die! Therefore the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi also made his move and in spite of his body’s lack of energy, his fist pounded towards the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior!

Seeing this scene, the not-so-far-away Xiao Chen was on the verge of laughter. These two people, they really thought that the opposite party was his bodyguard, unexpectedly fighting to death?

But just as Xiao Chen was happily excited, the voice of Tian Lao pouring cold water resounded near his ear!

“Little Chenzi, are you happy?” Tian Lao coldly asked.

“Yes ah, Tian Lao, could it be that you wouldn’t be happy if you escaped?” Xiao Chen asked confusedly.

“This time, indeed we luckily escaped unharmed, but did you ever think about what would happen if even one of them said something? Your display would break up, then what would happen at that time?” Tian Lao rhetorically asked.

“This…” After Xiao Chen listened to Tian Lao’s words and was scared endlessly! Right, if he wasn’t successful in stirring the two men into battle, then the dying person right now would be him!

“In fact, me saying these words is not to attack you, wanting to tell you that it’s true that crafty plots and machinations are important, but one’s own strength is the most important! If you were currently a Third Layer Qi-Training Truth Cultivator, you would have enough strength to fight, but your current strength is too weak.” Tian Lao said.

“I understand, I will cultivate assiduously.” Xiao Chen nodded.

“You are working hard enough, moreover your cultivation speed is quick enough.” Tian Lao said.

“Then what do you mean by the words you said before….” Xiao Chen couldn’t help but smile, so to speak, what Tian Lao was saying before was nonsense!

“The meaning was to cause you to make persistent efforts.” Tian Lao replied.

“Okay!” Xiao Chen shrugged and continued watching the battle situation. One has to say, Tian Lao’s words, although it was nonsense, it made Xiao Chen realize the importance of strength. It was just that Xiao Chen was somewhat regretful, how come he didn’t meet Tian Lao earlier?

If he had encountered Tian Lao earlier, then he would be a Fourth or Fifth Layer Qi-Training or higher Truth Cultivator by now. At that time, would he need to silently endure it? Perhaps during this time when his father was missing, Cheng Family wouldn’t break the engagement so easily!

After all, a young Fourth or Fifth Layer Inner Qi expert was a very outstanding presence in the Nine Aristocratic Families. Even if Cheng Family’s Old Master became angry, he would still handle the matter very clear-headedly and carefully, rather than put all the blame on Xiao Chen’s head!

It would be very unlikely for any family to kick a young expert out the door. This would be tantamount to allowing other Aristocratic Families to cheaply rein in Xiao Chen. Xiao Family, even if it was under immense pressure, would not drive out Xiao Chen from the Xiao Family!

This is the strength of benefits, but the current Xiao Chen would have to rely on his own efforts.

“Hong——” A loud noise resounded. The Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior and Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior collided at the same place, exuding a sound that caused Xiao Chen’s ears to deafen. The wind produced from the collision made Xiao Chen take two steps back.

The two Warriors simultaneously flew out of the destruction in opposite directions. The Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior heavily fell onto the floor, directly spitting out blood from his mouth, nose, ears also had blood. The seven orifices on his head were bleeding and it was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to survive. On the other hand, the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior, although he also fell onto the ground, couldn’t get up, and was incessantly spitting out blood from his mouth, it was evident that he could be saved. If he were rescued promptly, then he would at least he would have his life. As for receiving the heavy injury, being able to return to normal would not be easy to say, it depended on his own fortune.

“Tian Lao, does the living person have the ability to kill me?” Xiao Chen was very sensible and did not walk towards him, but instead asked Tian Lao first.

“No, you can kill him.” Tian Lao replied: “If no one treats him right now, he’ll be like a strung bow. He barely retained a layer of strength, only equivalent to a First Layer Inner Qi expert.”

Xiao Chen nodded and let out a sigh of relief. The Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior would greatly weaken if he did not die!

The Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was clearly surprised for a moment. He did not think that not only did Xiao Chen not run away, but also came towards him. Wasn’t this like coming to die? Although he was seriously injured, he had retained the strength of a First Layer Inner Qi. Killing Xiao Chen, this waste, would be a simple matter to do!

Could it be that Xiao Chen still had other helpers? Or did Xiao Chen think that he couldn’t move due to his injuries? This Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior naturally was the black-clothed man in the recreational vehicle in the afternoon. At this moment, he finally understood why the Old Master sent him to kill Xiao Chen; originally there was such a reason. It was reckoned that the Old Master expected that there would be a bodyguard by Xiao Chen’s side, but did not expect that the bodyguard would have the strength of a Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior, about the same as him!

But the black-clothed man didn’t suddenly kill him. Even though he had retained the strength of a First Layer Inner Qi, that was only strength-wise. If Xiao Chen turned around and ran, his physical strength would not be able to keep up with Xiao Chen.

“Who sent you?” Xiao Chen was absolutely not feeling well. Originally there was someone who wanted to kill him before. It was confusing enough that someone pushed him off a cliff, but now two groups of people went to kill him? These two groups of people, were whose people?

Was this person in the same group with the one that pushed him off the class, or not?

“You think that I will tell you?” The black-clothed person sneered at Xiao Chen: “I didn’t think that there would be a bodyguard by Young Master Xiao’s side, this is my wrong guess! But next time, you will not be so lucky!”

“Next time?” Xiao Chen slightly frowned.

“Yes, next time….exactly…” After finishing talking, the black-clothed man saw Xiao Chen coming closer, so he suddenly jumped off the ground, turned his hand into a fist and threw his attack towards Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen’s eyes faintly shrunk. If it wasn’t for Tian Lao’s reminder, then he would be caught off guard at this moment! However, Xiao Chen had made sufficient preparations at this time. When the black clothed man’s fist was coming towards him, Xiao Chen’s figure suddenly dodged, escaping the black clothed man’s fierce strike. Then, he threw out his own fist, pounding the black-clothed man’s chest!

This movement was done smoothly. In fact, Xiao Chen had been learning without sparing any effort when he was watching the black-clothed man and the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior fight before. Thus, Xiao Chen had slightly grasped the black-clothed man’s boxing style and this was also due to the black clothed man being gravely injured.
Although the black-clothed man had retained the strength of a First Layer Inner Qi, his speed and reaction response were significantly impacted. More importantly, the black-clothed man did not think that Xiao Chen, a waste who couldn’t cultivate Inner Qi, would be able to dodge his sharp blow, but also dare to counterattack!

This made him feel incredulous and unprepared. Watching Xiao Chen’s fist pound his chest and produce a ‘Peng!’ sound, the black-clothed man’s chest suddenly sank inwards. His whole body was sent flying away by Xiao Chen and his eyes flashed with a trace of horrified amazement: “You….you unexpectedly hid your strength….Peak First Layer Inner Qi!”



Chapter 37 – Quick-Witted In An Emergency



Songning City First High.

Inside the doors of a recreational vehicle, a young man was sitting in the car with a gloomy face and to his side was a person wearing black clothes, an ordinary appearance middle-aged man.

“Young Master, Old Master made me assist you!” The black-clothed man said with respect.

“Tonight, Xiao Chen must die!” The young man lightly spat out these words, then continued: “Do not leave any evidence; find a place with no people, then quickly start!”

“Yes, Young Master!” The black-clothed man nodded in agreement.

“En, go get prepared, I’ll leave first.” The young man did not stay any longer and directly got out of the car. He muttered to himself while feeling not too well: “Xiao Chen, I didn’t expect that you would survive after being pushed down a cliff. This time, let’s see if you can still survive!”

And that recreational vehicle, after the young man got off, quietly left, heading towards Songning City’s Second High. Although the black clothed man felt that killing a waste without any Inner Qi simply didn’t require him, a Third Layer Inner Qi expert, moreover a Peak Third Layer Inner Qi almost at Fourth Layer Inner Qi expert, go into action, he naturally could not say anything since this was the arrangement of the Old Master.

………….

“Isn’t this Chen Jinpeng?” Zhu Yingxiong’s plump body suddenly blocked Chen Jinpeng’s path. Zhu Yingxiong had already wished for an opportunity to scold Chen Jinpeng, but couldn’t even catch his shadow. Now that Zhu Yingxiong had seen him, how could he let him go?

“Zhu Yingxiong, what do you want to do?” Chen Jinpeng frowned. He didn’t think that he would meet Zhu Yingxiong on lunch break. Even though he was a Second Layer Inner Qi Warrior and Zhu Yingxiong’s was an average person whose Inner Qi hadn’t even reached First Layer Inner Qi, Zhu Family already wasn’t the past Zhu Family. Zhu Family’s Ancestor was present and it could be said that Zhu Family’s status was not inferior to Xiao Family’s. Even if Zhu Yingxiong was a waste, he could still walk sideways in school. Therefore, Chen Jinpeng did not dare to strike him!

“Chen Jinpeng, I have always heard that people grow larger bones from the back of their heads after rebelling. I wonder where the position of this bone is? I would like to dig and examine the shell of the head of such a person, what do you say?” Zhu Yingxiong coldly smiled as he stared at Chen Jinpeng.

“You….you better not act recklessly, this is a school!” Chen Jinpeng truly feared that Zhu Yingxiong would go crazy.

“Zhu Yingxiong, stop being so mystical.” At this time, Zhao Yuliang’s voice suddenly rang out. Chen Jinpeng turned around, just in time to see Zhao Yuliang come, so he immediately relaxed.

“Brother Liang, this fatty threatened me!” Chen Jinpeng gained some confidence.

“Stop it, Zhu Yingxiong. Chen Jinpeng gave up a wrong way of life to trade for a better one. When he followed me, the next Lord, Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, so why are you blindly creating a ruckus? This truly is ‘Emperor not hurried, court eunuch anxious’!” Zhao Yuliang coldly said. 1

“Seems like you have good luck.” Zhu Yingxiong, upon seeing Zhao Yuliang coming by, knew that he would be unable to teach Chen Jinpeng a lesson, so he could only shake his fat body as he trudged away.

Afternoon.

Xiao Chen steadily passed the time and when it was time to leave school, Xiao Chen did not go to find Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei. After all, he had already taken taxi money.

Tang Tang walked out of the classroom with Deng Xiaokun. Xiao Chen got ready to take the bus, but discovered at the bus stop that there was unexpectedly a sea of people at the station. From the look of it, everyone who got out of school was in the same place!

Thus, Xiao Chen didn’t bother to wait for the bus. He calculated that if he waited for the bus, he would have to squeeze in and if he waited for the next bus, he would have probably had enough time to walk back! Xiao Chen had already experienced how crowded this bus actually was in the morning; he almost didn’t squeeze in.

Therefore, Xiao Chen directly stepped out and walked towards the direction of the villa. From the side of the people’s racket, it wasn’t that much time before it became quiet. Very quickly, the people decreased, especially as he moved towards the direction of the villa area, and soon, it was only Xiao Chen on the roadside alone!
Going to the villa area, shouldn’t there be a few people walking? Like Xiao Chen’s walk, it shouldn’t be this weird.

There’s a person!

Xiao Chen suddenly found himself being followed! One has to say that a Truth Cultivator has a large pool of Spiritual Force, though it generally isn’t very strong. If it was still the Xiao Chen from before, it would be impossible for him to feel that there were people following him. However, the current Xiao Chen did not need to deliberately search; he could just feel that there was a person tracking him. Only, Xiao Chen didn’t know whether the strength of the tracker was high or not. If the tracker was powerful, would he also have this feeling?

“Not bad, the tracker’s strength isn’t that high. If his strength was high, not to mention you, it would be hard for even me to feel. After all, the strength in your body would not even be one ten-thousandth of the previous me!” Tian Lao’s voice suddenly resounded in Xiao Chen’s mind.

“One ten-thousandth? Can you not be so exaggerated?” Xiao Chen curled his lips, as he naturally did not believe Tian Lao’s words: “You can feel the tracker’s strength?”

“A Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior and a Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior almost at Fourth Layer Inner Qi.” Tian Lao replied. Not only was Tian Lao able to feel the tracking, but he was even able to feel the strength of the tracker.

“What?! One Third Layer and one Peak Third Layer, there are two people tracking? And this strength isn’t even considered high?” Xiao Chen had a scare. His current strength was only equivalent to a Peak First Layer Inner Qi and although he was one step into Second Layer Qi-Training, even if he was Second Layer, he would not be the opponent of the two people!

Moreover, Xiao Chen could only feel that there was a person tracking. Now that he carefully feeling around, there indeed was two people! Only, what Xiao Chen felt was strange was that the two people weren’t together. Rather, one was to the left and one was to the right, tracking in both directions. From what it seems, these two people shouldn’t be a group?

“Not bad Little Chenzi. Now, you should be thinking about how to solve this!” Tian Lao’s voice this time wasn’t in a joking tone like before, it could be assumed that he attached great importance to this.

“Do you have a solution?” Xiao Chen’s heart went cold as he quickly asked.

“I have to say, your body is too weak. Even with my strength, I can only help you by controlling one person, and that person is probably that Third Layer Inner Qi expert. There is basically no hope in controlling the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi expert, only if you were a Second Layer Qi-Training Truth Cultivator!” Tian Lao seriously said: “Therefore, you must still think of a solution, think about how we can escape. Who made you go to such a secluded place?”

“This is my fault? This is the road I take to go home!” Xiao Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart was actually racing, thinking about how to deal with the two people! ‘There is a solution!’ Xiao Chen’s mind moved and quickly said it to Tian Lao: “Tian Lao, wait for my order in a moment. When I say so, take over my body to make that inferior Third Layer Inner Qi fight the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi!”

“Okay.” Tian Lao readily agreed. After all, if Xiao Chen had any bad matters, there would be no advantage for him.

“Following for so long, how about you come out?” Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and tranquilly talked towards his backside: “Xiao San, help me out with this stalker!”

Originally, upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, that Third Layer Warrior and Peak Third Layer Warrior were both ready. They did not take his first words too seriously, as they did not believe that Xiao Chen, a waste unable to cultivate Inner Qi, would be able to discover them. Not to mention Xiao Chen, an ordinary person, even a Third Layer Inner Qi to Fifth Layer Inner Qi would not be able to detect them. They would be discovered only if they were careless, otherwise, they were undiscoverable.

A Warrior’s Spiritual Force was very limited!

It was just that after hearing the latter half of Xiao Chen’s words, their hearts went cold simultaneously! Who is Xiao San? Xiao Chen’s bodyguard? These words made the two of them release their Spiritual Force and during the probe around them, they discovered each other’s existence!

This made the two people surprised at the same time. Xiao Chen wasn’t a liar; he really had a bodyguard following him! Now that things had reached this stage, the two people no longer hid and simultaneously jumped out.

These two people probably did not think that the opposite party was not Xiao Chen’s bodyguard and that Xiao Chen was completely bluffing. But these two people didn’t open their mouths.

They didn’t start fighting, as the two people felt that the strength of the opposite party was about the same as their own. Thus, they dreaded each other a bit and the hearts of both these two had the intention of killing Xiao Chen, not of fighting the bodyguard on the ‘opposite side’.

“Tian Lao, make that Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior attack the other Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior!” Xiao Chen requested Tian Lao.

“Okay!” The next moment, Tian Lao took over control of Xiao Chen’s body and started to use Spiritual Force from Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Knowledge to impact the Third Layer Inner Qi expert’s mind. Although the time of influence wouldn’t be too long, it would be enough to make the two people fight, Tian Lao had seen through Xiao Chen’s crafty plot; one has to say, this plan was a bit wicked. Making the two people who were against him fight each other was like kicking the two into a pit.

That Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior suddenly started attacking that Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior without warning! The Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior immediately stared blankly. He did not think that the opposite party, whose strength was weaker than his, would start to get rid of him. Even if the opposite party was Xiao Chen’s bodyguard, wasn’t this a little too tigerish?

But since “Xiao San” started, that Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior could only meet it. In a split second, the two people started fighting!

Xiao Chen’s strength was truly too weak. He only had enough to control Chen Jinpeng with some to spare, but trying to control a Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was a little too difficult. After just a moment of effort, the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior was back to normal!

Only, the Third Layer Inner Qi couldn’t understand; why did he suddenly attack Xiao Chen’s bodyguard ‘Xiao San’ whose strength seemed higher than his? But since they were already fighting, he could only passively continue to fight. There’s no turning back from what one has already started; if he shrunk back at this moment, he would die miserably!

Therefore, the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior could only brace himself and fight with the Peak Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior in the manner of ‘you come to fight I come to fight’. He didn’t think that the other side would let him off if he begged for mercy upon looking at the appearance of the opposite party. The opposite party obviously wanted to slaughter him, so the Third Layer Inner Qi Warrior could only go all out!

As a result, the two people thought that the other party was Xiao Chen’s bodyguard and were locked in battle!



 


  1. TLN: Pretty sure this should be a reference to many Chinese dramas about the ancient times. 

Chapter 36 – Not Just Anyone Can Work As A Servant



“Fine, I’ll treat you to either a buffet, roadside noodle shop, or twisted bun roll! This should suffice!” Xiao Chen replied.

“Pu….” When Tang Tang heard the first half of Xiao Chen’s words, she was quite happy. But after hearing the latter half, she directly spurted out laughter; how much does a noodle bowl cost? But she wasn’t a picky person and knew that saving up money wasn’t easy for Xiao Chen, so she didn’t exploit him: “Then it’s settled!”

Tang Tang and Xiao Chen walked together into the classroom laughing and talking, making Cheng Mengying knit her eyebrows. ‘Could it be that Xiao Chen coming so late was to find Tang Tang?’ Thinking that Xiao Chen took her money to find someone else, Young Lady Cheng felt a burst of unhappiness!

‘Hmph, what person. Tomorrow, this Young Lady will be buying a car for which you will be the driver! Let’s see how you can go find Tang Tang! This Young Lady’s anger also has reason! Previously, when you were Xiao Family’s Young Master, you pursued Shen Jingxuan and Lin Ke’er, but that was no problem. However, now you aren’t! Now, you are this Young Lady’s exclusive servant! You don’t curry favor with me nor do you stay near me, but actually went to fool around with Tang Tang?’

Although Tang Tang’s current appearance was hard to make people jealous, the Young Lady seen the previous Tang Tang!

Ultimately, it was just Young Lady Cheng’s lovable prideful flaw manifesting itself.

Deng Xiaokun also saw Xiao Chen and Tang Tang come through the door, causing his eyes to contain a trace of being stunned. But when he saw the fried bread sticks and soybean milk in her hands, he immediately showed a greedy expression: “Tang Tang, do I have a share?”

“Of course, both you and Xiao Chen have a share!” Tang Tang put the fried bread sticks and soybean milk on the table and said: “Eat while it’s hot; don’t make me run over in vain. It’s just that, how come I don’t lose weight when I run?”

“This is quite good. If you become a slender beauty, then I wouldn’t dare to eat your things.” Xiao Chen said laughingly.

This sentence wasn’t loud, but the not-so-far-away Cheng Mengying had actually heard it. She suddenly angrily curled up her hand into a fist.

‘Indeed, you don’t pay attention to me because I look too beautiful? But that’s not right, this kid had pursued Lin Ke’er and Shen Jingxuan before! Right, you definitely must be deceiving Tang Tang. Hmph, this Young Lady will definitely look for opportunities to expose you!’

Deng Xiaokun had already eaten breakfast, so he only ate half a fried bread stick and one package of soybean milk. On the other hand, Xiao Chen saw Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun dumbfounded as the remaining food all went into his stomach, .

“Dude, how is your appetite so good?” Deng Xiaokun said with astonishment. A normal person could not eat this much for breakfast, but Xiao Chen was simply a rice bucket!

Xiao Chen was also a bit embarrassed. In the past, he would not be able to eat this much. However, ever since he started Truth Cultivating, his food intake drastically increased. But this couldn’t be exposed, so he frankly said: “Right ah1, yesterday noon, I didn’t eat my fill when I ate Tang Tang’s 4 or 5 steamed buns. I also ate a large meal from Lou Zhenming.”

“Cow.” Deng Xiaokun only had one phrase for this, ‘can eat well’.

However Tang Tang felt that Xiao Chen’s appetite had no problems. In her opinion, boys should be wolfing down food when eating, so the way Yun Shaoqun ate, eating things in a mannered way, was hypocritical. It make Tang Tang feel that it was very false.

Looking over to where Xiao Chen was wolfing down food, Lou Zhenming’s eyes flashed with a hint of malice. ‘Eat, eat. I’ll let you feel proud for a while, but in the evening, you’ll die without a burial place!’

Just a moment ago, Lei Dianfeng had just sent a text message, ‘The wanted outlaws are already in place, they can be moved at night to kill Xiao Chen’, which caused Lou Zhenming’s original hazy mood to improve a lot.
The morning time quickly passed by.

What made Xiao Chen a bit surprised was that Lou Zhenming truly did not find any trouble with him. It seemed like last night’s matter had passed! In the past, Xiao Chen was also a dandy, so he sort of understands the thoughts of a dandy. Eating that much loss yesterday and then saying to forget it, Xiao Chen found it hard to believe!

If it were an honorable gentleman, then it would be considered as finished. However, Lou Zhenming obviously was not one; he was not even a dandy caring about face. Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that Lou Zhenming definitely would not let this go, that he was just temporarily holding it in.

But since Lou Zhenming didn’t cause trouble to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen naturally was happy with being at leisure.
At noon, Deng Xiaokun turned around and looked at Xiao Chen: “From what I heard from Tang Tang, you’ll be treating at noon and taking us to a buffet?”

Tang Tang had told Deng Xiaokun that Xiao Chen would treat to a buffet, but did not say what to eat. Therefore, Deng Xiaokun was a bit excited. Although Deng Xiaokun’s family background was unusual, to be honest, Deng Family was controlled by martial might. Generally, the family education was very strict, so all that Deng Xiaokun ate was all in the Martial Building. He had very little pocket money and usually could not eat any delicacies. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so excited when Xiao Chen brought the bag of abalone back into the classroom yesterday.

“En, shall we go together?” Xiao Chen asked laughingly.

“Okay, not taking advantage of this would be foolish.” After Deng Xiaokun finished speaking, he got up to go out of the classroom together with Xiao Chen and Tang Tang.

It was hard for Cheng Mengying to imagine how Xiao Chen, an influential son that lost his power, won Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun’s favor. Sure, Tang Tang’s situation was similar to his, but Deng Xiaokun’s situation was not. Although Deng Family was currently tolerating it, they hadn’t been beaten. Yet yesterday, Deng Family’s Young Master stuck up for Xiao Chen which made Cheng Mengying feel that it was very weird.

“Two beautiful girls, may this Lou have honor to dine with with the two?” Lou Zhenming was very intelligent in asking in a roundabout manner. He didn’t say treat; he only asked if he could have the honor to dine with them.

Cheng Mengying looked at the glue-like Lou Zhenming with a bit of frustration. She suddenly discovered that having Xiao Chen as a fiance in name from before was actually a good thing! Although Zhao Yuliang had openly and covertly showed his love for her, he had never done it so obviously.

After all, Xiao Chen wasn’t to be trifled with at that time. Even though he didn’t care about his fiancee, if others pursuing her in front of his face, Xiao Chen would definitely bring Chen Jinpeng and Zhu Yingxiong to rush in. Even Zhao Yuliang would not dare to do this kind of thing, after all, there are rules between the aristocratic family juniors.

If no one being the owner of the precious flower, then she could be pursued. However, if she was another’s fiancee and you blatantly pursued her, it would not only be a provocation to the parties involved, but also provocation to the families behind the parties.

Therefore, after Cheng Family broke off the engagement, Zhao Yuliang began to court her and try to gain her favor, but didn’t think that on the second day Cheng Mengying would transfer.

“Sister Mengying, when we eat, we need a servant to pour us tea on our side. Since Little Louzi said it would be his honor, then how about we give him a chance?” Jin Beibei grinned towards Lou Zhenming with evil intentions as she spoke to Cheng Mengying.

Lou Zhenming’s whole body immediately shook. ****, how can this big milk girl be so harmful? Dining has the meaning of sitting together on one table to eat, but you actually arranged me the role of a servant?

But Lou Zhenming didn’t dare to say anything. Thinking about it, being able to serve Cheng Mengying as she ate was also fine; others would willingly serve but could not serve!

“Forget it Beibei, we don’t need a servant.” Cheng Mengying slightly frowned as she replied with rejection: “Lou Zhenming, you do your own thing. Beibei and I have some private matters to speak of, so when we’re eating, it’s not good to have others nearby.”

“So it’s like this….” After Lou Zhenming heard what Cheng Mengying said, he could only give up and walked out of the classroom with Shou Hou.

“Cousin Mengying, why didn’t you let Lou Zhenming work as a servant?” Jin Beibei asked.

“Seeing him makes me lose my appetite and not just anyone can work as a servant!” Cheng Mengying very much hated Lou Zhenming’s kind of person. Although Xiao Chen was also a dandy in the past, he didn’t bully and extort the new students. However, Lou Zhenming wasn’t a dandy, he was an underworld evil force.

Unconsciously, Cheng Mengying had actually made a comparison between Xiao Chen and Lou Zhenming. After this idea came out, Cheng Mengying was surprised at herself. But thinking about it, Cheng Mengying always had these dandies by her side. Thinking about it even harder, it seemed like Xiao Chen is a little normal? ‘Hmph, dead Xiao Chen, unexpectedly getting expelled from your family! Now you aren’t this Young Lady’s shield!’

“Oh well, only Xiao Chen brother-in-law can be a servant.” Jin Beibei said.

“Beibei, didn’t you mention that Xiao Chen can die?” Bringing up Xiao Chen, Cheng Mengying became more angry: “You know I didn’t mean that!”

………….

Deng Xiaokun’s face showed surprise while sitting in a noodle shop as he pointed at the steamed buns in front of him and said between laughter and tears: “Xiao Chen, you brought us one kilometer away just to eat this? This is a buffet?”

“Yes, take the stuff on your own, eat as you please and eat as much as you want, I have enough.” Xiao Chen said as he nodded.

“Heavens, I looking forward to this!” Deng Xiaokun’s face was depressed: “If I knew this earlier, I might have as well have gone home to eat lunch!”

Deng Family’s Martial Building provided boxed lunch every afternoon, and although Deng Xiaokun was Deng Family’s Young Master, there were no privileges in the Martial Building. The master and disciple ate boxed lunches together, and Deng Xiaokun also ate the boxed lunch.

“Okay, stop complaining, aren’t there noodles? Or do you not eat noodles?” Tang Tang grabbed a steamed bun and the free small brined vegetables that matched with it.

“You look down upon me! You guys eat, I don’t think this is particularly special!” But after Deng Xiaokun saw Tang Tang eat, he also grabbed a steamed bun to eat: “Fine, I’ll just regard yesterday’s meal as eating too much. Today I’ll eat something light.”

One meal later.

The three people ate their fill and this only cost Xiao Chen 10 RMB, plus he also brought some scallion fried pancakes2 for the evening study time! This staple food, how could it cost a lot of money to eat?

On the way back, Deng Xiaokun suddenly said: “Right Xiao Chen, watch out for yourself. Lou Zhenming, this person, is a bit sinister. I fear that he won’t let go of Ma Gangmen’s matter. Even though he guaranteed that he would let it go yesterday, I fear that he will settle the score later on!”

“En, I know, I also thought about this.” Xiao Chen deeply considered as he nodded: “But if he doesn’t raise his hand, then I can’t take the initiative to look for him and can only wait passively.”

“That’s also true, but it’s really hard to understand. Yesterday night Tang Tang and I analyzed it for a long time, but we weren’t able to analyze the reason. It can only be said that Lou Zhenming wanted to bully newcomers….” Deng Xiaokun was unable to figure out why Lou Zhenming felt that Xiao Chen was unpleasant in his eyes.

“Hehe, regard this as me having bad luck then.” Xiao Chen helplessly shrugged.

Chapter 35 – Drinking Your Papaya Yogurt



Harsh, unreasonable, and not afraid of death, Old Master Jin was exactly one that did not fear death. When the family inquired about Jin Family’s doings throughout the years, they immediately gave up. Not only did they give an apology to Old Master Jin saying that it was a misunderstanding, but they also compensated Jin Beibei a car. However, Jin Beibei threw this car into the garage because she liked her Beatle. She felt that a girl driving a Beatle was quite lovable.

Although she looked lovable, her disposition wasn’t lovable at all.

Anyway, that dead influential son was nothing more than a collateral and that Ancient Martial Family would not fight to death just for a collateral because Old Master Jin was a lunatic. He was exactly this, so as a result, the Head of the family put the blame on the parents of that influential son for not teaching him properly and their family industries were taken back.

As a result, Jin Beibei’s ‘little demoness’ title spread like wildfire. Lou Zhenming did not think that his own family was as formidable as the Ancient Martial Family. Lou Family was taking time to recuperate and build up strength and if they got into trouble with Jin Family, then they would be finished.

“Then your invitation to cousin Mengying for a meal, that is to say, is just cheating us?” Jin Beibei unhappily looked at Lou Zhenming.

“This….eating a meal doesn’t require 100,000 RMB. I meant that I don’t have 100,000 RMB, but I have enough money to eat breakfast.” Lou Zhenming quickly explained as he got a scare.

“Oh, then give it to me.” Jin Beibei extended out her somewhat chubby little hand.

Lou Zhenming cursed his bad luck, but actually took out his meal card and handed it over to Jin Beibei: “There’s about 7 to 8 thousand RMB in here, so it’s definitely enough for breakfast….”

“Okay, I understand. I kindly accept this offering.” Jin Beibei smiled with curved squinted eyes as she put the meal card away: “You can go but you still owe me 93,000 RMB.”

Hearing Jin Beibei’s first half of her words made Lou Zhenming let out a sigh of relief, but after hearing the latter half of her words, he almost staggered and fell onto the floor! So there was this kind of trap! Just by saying hello, he somehow already owed a debt of more than 90,000 RMB!

“Puchi….” As Cheng Mengying watched Lou Zhenming deflate before Jin Beibei, she immediately could not help but laugh.

But upon hearing Cheng Mengying’s laugh, Lou Zhenming thought that he had successfully won the beautiful girl’s laugh! He felt that his 100,000 RMB was spent well. In the past, there were fights with fire between princes and the purpose was to win the beauty’s smile, but he didn’t have to set himself on fire. All he had to do was spend 100,000 RMB, so he felt that it was worth it! Thinking up to here, Lou Zhenming’s mood balanced out.

He returned to his seat no longer depressed, but first thing he did was dial his father, Lou Siwen’s, phone.

“Zhenming, you don’t seem to be studying well in school; why the **** are you giving me a call?” Lou Siwen was collecting debts in the gathering place as he answered Lou Zhenming’s call. He immediately became a bit unhappy due to this. Although he was called Lou Siwen, the way he spoke to children wasn’t gentle 1. However, he could not change this, so he very much hoped that Lou Zhenming would be successful.

“That….dad, I want to apply to you for some money to chase a girl!” Lou Zhenming had been tricked out of 200,000 RMB by Xiao Chen the day before and tricked out of 100,000 RMB by Jin Beibei today, thus suddenly making his economic status unable to make ends meet, so he had to seek help from Lou Siwen.

“Chase a girl? You’re not studying well at school, chase my ***!” Lou Siwen was furious! ‘This daddy2 sent you to school to make you study, but you dare to chase girls?’

“That….dad, don’t be angry, hear me out…” Lou Zhenming forehead immediately became full of cold sweat: “Dad, this time the girl I’m chasing is not an ordinary girl, but rather a top quality one….”

“**** your ***, what chasing a top quality girl? Hurry and study well for this daddy!” Lou Siwen angrily said.

“Dad, don’t get stirred up! This girl, I plan to marry her, she is Cheng Family’s Chang Mengying, the one that broke off the engagement with Xiao Family!” Lou Zhenming was afraid that Lou Siwen would hang up, so he quickly explained what he meant.

“Oh?” Although Lou Siwen gave him an education for his future career, he wasn’t a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to coordinate with Old Master Lou to turn Lou Family into an Aristocratic Family. When he heard that the girl Lou Zhenming was chasing was Cheng Mengying, he immediately became interested: “Do you have any confidence?”

“Can’t say that it’s 100%, but there’s at least a 50% chance because I discovered that Cheng Mengying seems to like violent boys. Moreover, she and Jin Beibei, this overbearing over, play together, so it may be assumed that she likes bullying people and bullying people is our strength!” Lou Zhenming stated his analysis.

“That’s fine, how much do you want!” Lou Siwen actually didn’t meddle this time. If Lou Zhenming actually managed to successfully pursue Cheng Family’s Young Lady, then Lou Family and Cheng Family would be related by marriage. Though it wouldn’t be said that they would acquire help from Cheng Family forever, however, for the next few years, at least Lou Family would run smoother.

“Then how about giving me 1 million?” Lou Zhenming asked as a probe.

“Okay, I’ll make someone put it into your card in a moment.” Lou Siwen had no hesitation this time as he directly replied.

Lou Zhenming immediately felt some regret upon seeing that Lou Siwen didn’t argue and directly agreed to his request. Wouldn’t he have gotten 2 million if he asked for it?
…………

Jin Beibei was not in Third Year First Class, but she sat on the edge of Cheng Mengying’s seat. She didn’t fear anything because even the school principal would say nothing upon seeing it because Chen Family wouldn’t want to offend Jin Family over a trivial matter like this.

However, Lou Zhenming was a bit in a bad mood. Having this kind of young demoness sitting at Cheng Mengying’s side simply increased the difficulty of his pursuing! If he didn’t know about Jin Beibei’s character, Lou Zhenming would have been very happy about her arrival. This kind of cow girl at Cheng Mengying’s side, if possible, having a threesome with them would be very refreshing, but obviously this was not possible. Only if Lou Zhenming had a head filled with water, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a ridiculous idea in his head.

“How come Xiao Chen hasn’t come yet?” Young Lady Cheng looked at the time on her watch. It had been half an hour, but Xiao Chen still wasn’t here: “This guy wouldn’t have gotten lost when riding a taxi right?”

“Cousin Mengying, you’re worrying about brother-in-law?” Jin Beibei said while drinking papaya-flavored yogurt.

“Why are you drinking your papaya-flavored yogurt. Even though your chest is almost at soccer ball size, you still want to drink?” Cheng Mengying naturally would not admit that she was worrying about Xiao Chen and that she was just afraid that Xiao Chen had become lost.

“Cousin Mengying is definitely jealous of me.” Jin Beibei intentionally threw out her chest: “If you don’t believe then ask brother-in-law whether he likes my breasts or cousin Mengying’s poor breasts.”

“Who has poor breasts? Mine aren’t small, they’re B-cups!” Cheng Mengying was unwilling to show any weakness.

“Just a B oh. When I was 10, I had a C-cup.” Jin Beibei said.

“Sooner or later, you’ll have to hold them with your hands.” Cheng Mengying was defeated. To be honest, she was a little jealous.

“No problem, in any case you have a servant, I’ll just make him hold them for me.” Jin Beibei said indifferently: “Right, Cousin Mengying, you won’t be jealous if I make brother-in-law hold my chest for me right?”

“I wouldn’t care if he died!” Cheng Mengying replied: “But Jin Beibei, don’t you understand that men and women can’t be too intimate? Why would you ask him for help?”

“I was just joking!” Jin Beibei really was joking. Who would go out with someone holding their breasts for them? But as she looked at her own size and the papaya-flavored yogurt at her hand, she really feared that there would be such a day. Thus, she directly swapped her own papaya-flavored yogurt with Cheng Mengying’s original flavored yogurt: “Let’s switch drinks.”

Cheng Mengying didn’t say anything. In any case, she didn’t mind drinking what Jin Beibei drank out of. Before, she actually wanted to buy papaya-flavored yogurt, but she was embarrassed to do so in front of Jin Beibei lest Jin Beibei think that she wanted to make her breasts larger. Therefore, she brought the original flavor so the exchange right now fine with her.

This was Xiao Chen’s first time taking a bus and he felt that the smell on the bus wasn’t so nice, especially the leek boxes3 and meat bun smell and the fragrances of many different foods. However, the beautiful girl holding a fried bread stick4 was quite attractive, making Xiao Chen feel ashamed….and hungry….

However the position Xiao Chen boarded the bus was outside the villa area, naturally it was impossible for this kind of place to sell a breakfast like this, and the shops named “Jewel Congee Shop” and the like looked like really domineering places. Xiao Chen did not have the desire to go in and thought: ‘Shouldn’t the kinds of food in these shops cost a few hundred?’ Xiao Chen simply didn’t have the money.

When he got off board, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered Tang Tang happening to walk from the opposite direction. She was carrying a bag of fried bread sticks in her hands and probably a soybean milk, causing Xiao Chen’s eyes to light up, his eyes giving off a green ray5.

“Tang Tang!” Xiao Chen waved his hands at Tang Tang.

Tang Tang looked up and saw Xiao Chen get off of the bus. Seeing that he had not coming together with Cheng Mengying, she immediately became a bit astonished! It was seen from yesterday that Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying had gone home together, thus the two should come to school together too, but why was Xiao Chen coming by himself?

Tang Tang could not help but admire Xiao Chen’s ability to adapt. Able to crowd into public transportation? But thinking about how Xiao Chen wolfed down the steamed buns yesterday, Tang Tang knew that Xiao Chen’s character was good. At least he hadn’t been badly influenced too much by his dandy attitude.

“You haven’t eaten breakfast yet right? I brought you some fried bread sticks and soybean milk. Go eat it in the classroom.” Tang Tang shook the bags in her hand as she talked to Xiao Chen.

“Thank you!” Xiao Chen grinned. He originally wanted to bear his hungry and eat at noon and did not expect Tang Tang to bring him breakfast: “Generous, sorry for making you spend money!”

“It’s not a big deal.” Tang Tang indifferently waved her hand: “It’s self-made and sold so it costs nothing. Right, why did you come from a bus? What about Cheng Mengying?”

Xiao Chen was about to ask what she meant by self-made and sold, but was interrupted by Tang Tang’s question, so he instead said: “She and Jin Beibei came in a car, while I went to public transportation.”

“They came in a car?” Tang Tang became a bit angry after she heard this: “Isn’t this just bullying? Even if you’re her servant, you don’t need to deal with this right? How could a car not have enough space to not accommodate you?”

“I was given the choice to come by either car or taxi and I chose to take a taxi, thus earning 100 RMB, so I feel that it was worth it.” Xiao Chen explained with a smile. The Young Lady’s heart was very good. Although she was a bit prideful, her character wasn’t bad, so Xiao Chen helped explain her.

“That’s more like it, then every day you’ll be earning 100 RMB. This month you can make a lot of money!” Tang Tang nodded her head after hearing this: “Having so much money, you’ll have to treat me to lunch!”

Chapter 34 – Jin Beibei



“Didn’t you want to rest yesterday? The result of you taking a break was that you fell asleep. Later on, you laid down on my legs and due to me fearing that I would disturb your sleep, I didn’t wake you up….” Xiao Chen explained with a bitter smile.

“Then how did you….” Cheng Mengying thought for a bit. ‘Seems like it indeed is this matter. Yesterday, I had gotten tired of walking and wanted to take a break on the bench on the side of the road. Afterwards, I remember nothing so it seems that I was asleep.’

However, after Cheng Mengying took a glance at Xiao Chen’s crotch, she scrunched her eyebrows together and said with a hmph: “You were afraid to disturb me? Do you dare to say that you had no dirty thoughts?”

“This is a normal phenomenon called ‘morning wood’….” Xiao Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “That’s enough. Next time I’ll wake you up then take you home.”

At this moment, Jin Beibei had finally understood what had happened, but her mischievous eyes swept between Xiao Chen’s legs, then she talked to herself: “How is it this big? It doesn’t seem to be the same size it says in the textbook? Luckily Sister Mengying broke off the engagement, otherwise when it’s time, wouldn’t she be X’d to death!”

In the beginning, Cheng Mengying didn’t understand the meaning of what Jin Beibei was saying. What thing was so big, and wasn’t the same as it is in the textbooks? But hearing the words that came after it and looking at what direction Jin Beibei’s gaze was in, Cheng Mengying angrily stared at Jin Beibei’s eyes and ill-humoredly said: “Beibei, why is your mind so complex? All day long thinking about dirty things. Are you not thinking about giving blowjobs, only wanting to put the blame on me?”

“Of course not….but having the chance to do it is also fine. I’ve tried it with bananas, but there wasn’t anything special. It was like eating a popsicle in my childhood….” Jin Beibei muttered.

“You….” Cheng Mengying was made somewhat speechless by Jin Beibei, but suddenly remembered that Xiao Chen was also standing at the side. Thinking about the word ‘*******’ that had popped out of her mouth, she immediately blushed and coughed twice, then looked towards Xiao Chen: “Hey, what did you hear?”

“Ah?” Xiao Chen was confused for a moment: “What did you say?”

“Hmph, seems like you’re sensible!” Cheng Mengying nodded to deceive herself and others. No longer paying attention to Xiao Chen, she immediately looked towards Jin Beibei: “Beibei, why are you here so early in the morning?”

“Uncle said that you had transferred to Second High. Yesterday, I didn’t see you, so I planned to take you to school today in the early morning,.” After Jin Beibei spoke up to here, she looked at Cheng Mengying with a weird complexion: “Cousin Cheng Mengying, you’re really weird oh. You are unexpectedly on good terms with Xiao Chen? Didn’t you dislike him before?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! I’ll tell auntie about what you do to bananas if you talk more. Watch how she deals with you!” Cheng Mengying angrily replied: “He’s only this Young Lady’s personal servant. If this Young Lady wants to sleep, then he has to turn into a bed! If this Young Lady wants to eat, then he has to become a table!”
“Crap, Xiao Chen brother-in-law is a transformer?” Jin Beibei said with astonishment.

“….” Xiao Chen looked at Jin Beibei’s innocent look with a dumbfounded face. However, if he really thought that she was innocent, then he would have fallen into the trap. From infancy until now, her innocent look had swindled many dandy’s that wanted to gang up on her. They were met with bad luck and taught a lesson until they were hovering between life and death!

Therefore, Xiao Chen decided to stay away from this young demoness in order not to suffer! Previously, when he was Xiao Family’s Young Master, he did not go provoking this young demoness, but he also wasn’t afraid of her revenge. However now it’s different, he was Cheng Mengying’s servant. If this little girl didn’t see him as pleasing to the eyes and put out an order for him, then it would be a sudden and unexpected disaster.

“He’s also a Ninja Turtle….what brother-in-law? Stop speaking nonsense!” When Cheng Mengying heard how Jin Beibei addressed Xiao Chen she became shocked: “I already said that he and I don’t have any relationship!”

“Oh, Xiao Chen former brother-in-law, hello oh!” Jin Beibei nodded as she continued to talk.

“…..” Cheng Mengying was to lazy to correct her, but when Xiao Chen heard Jin Beibei calling him brother-in-law, he felt a strange feeling.

“Okay, Xiao Chen, I want to go to school with Beibei. Will you sit in the back or go to school by yourself?” Cheng Mengying asked while pointing at the back of the Beatle.

Xiao Chen glanced at the car’s small and narrow back seat and could not help but smile bitterly: “I’ll take a taxi, but you have to give me money for it.”

“I don’t have any money.” Cheng Mengying said without hesitation. How could she not know that Shen Jingxuan had given Xiao Chen 10,000 RMB before?

“Then I’ll let myself in.” After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he got ready to get on the car.

“Stingy miser! Take this as this Young Lady’s reward for you!” Cheng Mengying wanted to have an intimate conversation with Jin Beibei, so she didn’t want Xiao Chen to listen in. Otherwise, Jin Beibei would shoot off her mouth, thus making her lose face by talking about her ‘*******’ and such pop up. Therefore, Cheng Mengying pulled out her wallet, took out a 100 RMB bill and handed it to Xiao Chen: “This should be enough for when leaving school too right?”

“It’s enough.” Xiao Chen nodded. It was only 30 RMB when they were leaving on the taxi yesterday.

“Beibei, let’s go.” Cheng Mengying opened the co-pilot’s door and boarded the car with Jin Beibei.

Xiao Chen gazed after Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei leaving, pocketed 100 RMB, then walked to the bus stop! Xiao Chen wasn’t exactly a real gentleman, he was very clear on his situation. The core of this work was no salary! 10,000 RMB truly had to be saved for later use.

“Cousin Mengying, did you really make Xiao Chen brother-in-law into your servant?” Jin Beibei asked while she was driving.

“Not brother-in-law, it’s former brother-in-law….not right, he wasn’t that either. He was just fiance before! Dead Beibei, making me turn stupid!” Cheng Mengying was unbearably angry: “You know that even though I dislike him, I also feel that he is pitiful. My grandfather, due to uncle’s matter, vented his anger on Xiao Family. That means that there has to be someone to turn into the scapegoat right? This person could only be Uncle Xiao’s son. In order to make him survive, father made him my servant.”

“Uncle isn’t afraid that you’ll fall in love over time?” Jin Beibei asked mischievously.

“How is that possible? This Young Lady doesn’t have a liking for him!” Cheng Mengying’s face turned a little red, but said without hesitation: “What this Young Lady likes is a true great hero! He’s only a waste!”

But Cheng Mengying had to admit that she was mistaken before, as seen from Xiao Chen and Ma Gangmen’s duel from yesterday. Although Xiao Chen hadn’t reached the strength of a First Layer Inner Qi, as an average person, his strength was already at the limit. If not for his innate constitution problem, it was feared that he would have been a master of First Layer Inner Qi or even higher long ago!

Xiao Chen did not have Innate Divine Strength. Other people weren’t clear on this, but as Xiao Chen’s former fiancee, Cheng Mengying was very clear on it. Not only did Xiao Chen not have Innate Divine Strength, but he was also frail and sick from childhood. Being able to have this present strength was only for Xiao Chen to go through many sufferings!

It was very difficult for Cheng Mengying to imagine Xiao Chen, this dandy Young Master, suffer through exercise!

But these words, she didn’t say out loud.

“Oh, cousin Mengying is blushing!” Jin Beibei observed.

“Drive carefully! I don’t want to be killed.” Cheng Mengying said.

Jin Beibei spit out her tongue and started to drive with devotion.

The villa area wasn’t too far away from Second High, so the car quickly arrived at the school gates. Afterwards, Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei entered the school together.

……….

Lou Zhenming’s complexion was very gloomy. Ma Gangmen’s injury was very heavy and he was currently lying down on a hospital bed. He also didn’t know whether Lei Dianfeng had found any people to teach Xiao Chen a lesson. In short, his mood was very gloomy. Originally, what should have been a good day to pick up girls, had unexpectedly turned into a day of suffering setbacks.

He would definitely make Xiao Chen pay a blood price! Although he had said that he would forget this matter in front of Deng Xiaokun yesterday, he would never consider such a matter as finished. Him not raising his hands, did not mean that he wouldn’t hire other people to raise their hands in secret!

If Xiao Chen was killed by wanted outlaws from the outside, then the only explanation would be that Xiao Chen had bad luck, and he, Lou Zhenming, had no relationship with it.

Seeing Cheng Mengying walk into the classroom holding bread and yogurt, it was as if Lou Zhenming had a loaded spring under his ***. He immediately got off his seat with a ‘Sou’ and trotted over to Cheng Mengying while smiling: “Mengying, you came. This yogurt and bread, although the nutrition isn’t bad, the taste isn’t that good either. How about I treat you to some porridge at the school cafeteria?”

“Little Louzi, you seem to be very rich. How about you load 100,000 RMB into my meal card?” Jin Beibei laughingly said as she jumped out from Cheng Mengying’s back. The melons on her chest jiggled, making Lou Zhenming feel a bit dizzy.

Lou Zhenming’s eyelids opened, but he didn’t dare to appreciate the beautiful scene. Cold sweat went down his forehead: “That….Jin Beibei, I didn’t bring that much money today. How about we talk about it another day?”
Lou Zhenming understood Jin Beibei very well. This young girl, in Second High, although she was Second High’s flower, Lou Zhenming had never thought of ever pursuing her. This kind of young demoness was one who gave bad luck to those who knew her!

One has to know, Jin Beibei is Jin Family’s Old Master Jin’s treasure. Old Master Jin, Jin Maoshiwang, was not a joke; he was simply a lunatic. Forty years ago, with his bare hands, he rushed into JiangHu and made a name for himself, laying down the foundation for Jin Family’s family property.

This kind of person, Lou Zhenming didn’t want to have a connection to. Whoever bullied Jin Family’s little princess, the old man go personally go to his or her house to kill. He would dare to play around with his own life and use the fighting method of making both sides perish.

Among the various families, there indeed was infighting, but it was extremely unlikely that the families would exhaust themselves just to compete to see which side was better. This kind of killing 1,000 at the loss of 800 method, harmed others but didn’t benefit oneself, Old Master Jin dared to use!

Once there was an influential son of an external Ancient Martial Family who took a fancy to Jin Beibei and wanted to forcefully do indecent things to Jin Beibei. However, the result of that was that influential son being cleaved in half by Old Master Jin.

That external Ancient Martial Family got angry and the Head of that family ordered Jin Family to hand over Jin Beibei in a set amount of time and hold a marriage between that dead influential son and Jin Beibei!

But Old Master Jin did not accept this and instead carried a machete and went ready to kill. He directly went and told the Head of that external Ancient Martial Family, ‘If you want a fight then let’s fight! Jin Family may be inferior to you, but we will use all our power and make your family damaged by half!’



Chapter 33 – Waste, Not Talking About You

Hey look, it’s another one~! Third day in a row! – raltzero



“Don’t worry about where the news came from, it is definitely accurate!” Zhao Yuliang suddenly poured himself a glass of wine, wanting to release his steam: “Xiao Chen, this kid, really has good luck. He unexpectedly turned into Cheng Mengying’s servant! Is this not giving them an opportunity to foster love?”
Zhao Yuliang really didn’t understand how the people from Cheng Family agreed on this matter! Was Cheng Family not afraid of anything happening?

“Brother Liang, I think you’re a little overly anxious right?” Chen Jinpeng shook his head and said: “Brother Liang, think about it. Originally, Cheng Mengying was Xiao Chen’s fiance and there was nothing between the two. Now that Xiao Chen has been kicked from Xiao Family, moreover has already broke off the engagement, how could Cheng Mengying have a liking for Xiao Chen this waste! I think Cheng Family should purely want to humiliate Xiao Chen!”

“Oh?” Zhao Yuliang nodded. What Chen Jinpeng had talked about, he had not thought about. It was just that he didn’t feel at ease in his heart because he sincerely liked Cheng Mengying. Although there were some ulterior motives mixed in, it couldn’t be helped. Cheng Mengying was the first girl to make Zhao Yuliang sincerely moved: “Cheng Mengying being over there is definitely is no problem, but my fear is Xiao Chen’s beastly nature!”

“Leave it, how would he dare?” Chen Jinpeng disdainfully said: “He thinks that he’s still the beforehand Young Master Xiao? Since he can compromise before Cheng Zhongming, choosing to lower his head, then it represents that he admits defeat! Besides, what love is there between a Young Lady and servant? That’s the plot of a novel! You and I are from respected families; have you ever seen any family children marry a servant?”

“That’s true….” Zhao Yuliang nodded while deep in thought.

“It is this all along! You think Xiao Chen is like Deity Lin in 《School Beauty Personal Bodyguard》? He’s a cultivator/practitioner, cultivating ‘Xuan Yuan Controlling Dragons Secret Art’. A cultivator/practitioner is a high-end and flamboyant occupation, how could Xiao Chen be worth a fart? A waste unable to cultivate Inner Qi, how would he be able to obtain Cheng Mengying’s favor?” Chen Jinpeng said in comfort, but after he finished his words, he felt that he had said too much: “That Brother Liang, I was referring to Xiao Chen as waste, not you….”

“It’s okay. Although I can’t cultivate Inner Qi, I’m stronger than Xiao Chen.” Zhao Yuliang waved his hands, not getting angry towards this topic. Instead, he nodded and said in an approving manner: “What you said isn’t wrong. It is I who had thought too much. Cheng Mengying would never look upon Xiao Chen that waste!”

“Right ah, Brother Liang, I respect you one cup!” Chen Jinpeng raised his glass towards Zhao Yuliang.

“Okay, ganbei!” Although Zhao Yuliang said this, a flash of subtle frostiness appeared in his eyes for a moment before disappearing…

Yuan Qi revolved over and over in a fixed path in Xiao Chen’s body and with each revolution, Xiao Chen’s Yuan Qi within his body became a little denser. This situation, although Xiao Chen hadn’t felt anything, Tian Lao had felt it and was very surprised: “I say Little Chenzi, something’s wrong ah!”

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Chen quickly asked as Tian Lao’s flustered voice made him frightened.

“Your Yuan Qi is increasing rapidly right? Each revolution has made it increase, but this shouldn’t be!” Tian Lao was puzzled. Logically speaking, this was an urban area and though it was the villa area with trees and a better environment, it was a far cry from a paradise dedicated to cultivation. Furthermore, even in a paradise, Tian Lao had never heard of a cultivation speed this fast!

“Is this a bad thing?” Xiao Chen thought in his heart, ‘Fast isn’t good?’ What he currently wanted the most was strength! If it was possible, he wanted to become a Seventh or Eighth Layer Inner Qi Master!

“Nothing has been discovered temporarily. However this phenomenon on the surface looks good, but if it isn’t made clear why, who knows what kind of impact it will have on your future?” Tian Lao’s voice was a little hesitant and actually didn’t sound like he was cracking a joke with Xiao Chen.

And Xiao Chen’s heart slightly shivered with fear. Right, although he hadn’t come into contact with Truth Cultivators, he had seen them within similar novels or television shows! Generally, it was either an Evil Cultivator or Demon Cultivator who had the fastest cultivation speeds. However the side-effects were great. Initially there wouldn’t be any, but later on they would be eaten up by their own Heart Devil and troubles would come one after the other!

“Then what have you discovered?” Xiao Chen asked.

“Nothing temporarily.” Tian Lao replied.

“How about….I stop cultivating now? And talk about it after you find the issue?” Xiao Chen was currently a bit hesitant. He didn’t dare to crack a joke about his own life and future.

“How would I be able to observe if you stop?” Tian Lao ill-humoredly replied: “Who told you to cultivate backwards? Forget it, continue. For the time being there isn’t an issue. If there is one, I’ll remind you.”

“Alright.” Xiao Chen actually did not want to suspend his cultivation, so upon hearing Tian Lao’s words, he felt relieved and prepared to revolve his mental mantra.

But before Xiao Chen started revolving, Xiao Chen felt a soft tender body relying upon his own body!

Xiao Chen subconsciously opened his eyes and unexpectedly discovered that it was Young Lady Cheng using his body with her head on his own legs! This feeling made one feel like an intimate couple, causing Xiao Chen’s heart to slightly speed up!

Although he was clear that Cheng Mengying was sleeping and that it was probably due to the seat back not being too comfortable, thus causing her subconsciously lay down, making this not her intention, however, Xiao Chen inevitably still had fantasies.

Xiao Chen by no means was a gentleman, but he also wouldn’t take advantage of people. The Young Lady had helped him when he was in a time of difficulty, so how could he do matters of overstepping his boundaries?

It was just that Xiao Chen wanted to lift the Young Lady up, but was afraid to wake her up. Thus, he weighed it in his mind of a long time and finally, Xiao Chen decided to continue cultivating. Putting it down in his heart and calming his mind would naturally create a conscience.

Due to Xiao Chen’s meditative strength being exceptionally strong, very quickly, Xiao Chen once again entered his cultivation state and continued to revolve “Seizing Good Fortune War Mantra”….

When the first ray of early morning sunshine smeared the earth, Xiao Chen faintly touched upon the barrier on Second Layer Qi-Training. This cultivation speed made Tian Lao speechless. It made people think that it was simply unthinkable, even though Tian Lao currently could not be considered a person.

It was the early morning and the originally quiet villa area street began to have the occasional car drive by. Of course, almost no one noticed Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying on the bench, after all nowadays, who hadn’t seen lovers on a street bench before.

A red Beetle car passed by in front of Xiao Chen, but after going not too far away, it came back and stopped in front Xiao Chen. The Beetle’s car window opened slowly, revealing an immensely shocked small face!

“Cousin Yingying? Xiao Chen?” The young girl inside the Beetle opened the door, looking stunned at the inconceivable scene: “What are….you guys doing?”

Xiao Chen became a bit embarrassed. He hadn’t expected to encounter an acquaintance here. Moreover, the person who came was Zhu Yingxiong’s cousin, as well as Cheng Mengying’s cousin, Jin Beibei!

Although this girl had a somewhat petite stature, her chest was huge. This made her seem uncoordinated and the only one phrase could describe it was ‘large-breasted loli’.

Regarding Jin Beibei, Xiao Chen didn’t know too much. Jin Family’s Little Princess, although she was Zhu Yingxiong’s cousin and Cheng Mengying’s cousin, in reality, the Nine Aristocratic Families more or less had some form of relationship via marriage. This relationship via marriage could only be maintained for one generation, or even only a few years. Therefore the juniors of the Families, were basically relatives of each other more or less, but this could be ignored.

Xiao Chen’s impression was that Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei’s relationship was not bad. It was just that there weren’t many contacts with Xiao Chen.

Cheng Mengying had been sleeping soundly but was awakened by Jin Beibei’s cry out in alarm. She opened her eyes in confusion, but didn’t immediately raise her head from Xiao Chen’s lap, only turning her head to the side, wanting to make clear who was calling her.

“Crap, I haven’t seen anything wa….” Jin Beibei, upon seeing Cheng Mengying’s appearance, immediately jumped in fright. She covered her surprised eyes with her hands: “Sister Mengying, you’re too open! Unexpectedly giving Xiao Chen a blow——job on the sidewalk! But I haven’t seen anything.”

Cheng Mengying had just woken up and on the corners of her mouth were hanging two saliva strands. By coincidence, Xiao Chen previously had feared that Cheng Mengying would be cold, so he covered Cheng Mengying’s body with his school uniform. Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Chen’s thighs were also covered by his uniform. This kind of scene would inevitably make one’s imagination run wild.

After all, many XX videos online had situations similar to this. Being covered with a uniform, then starting XX.

 “What? Blow….blow….job?!” Cheng Mengying immediately sobered up from confusion! She immediately discovered that she had lain asleep on Xiao Chen’s lap and by coincidence, her mouth happened to hang some saliva, so it wouldn’t be strange if this was misunderstood!

 Cheng Mengying suddenly became anxious, how could she do that with Xiao Chen? Even if she was Xiao Chen’s former fiancee, it was impossible ah! She subconsciously took off the school uniform off of her and Xiao Chen’s legs, seeming to want to show Jin Beibei that she hadn’t given Xiao Chen ‘that’.

Just, even though the school uniform was taken off, however, under the uniform at Xiao Chen’s crotch section of his pants, there was a tower wanting to pierce the heavens!

Xiao Chen was a normal boy, so the Young Lady lying on his legs, made it very difficult for him to maintain his composure. Moreover, it was currently early morning and Xiao Chen hadn’t urinated yet, so this was a normal psychological phenomenon. But in Jin Beibei’s eyes, it wasn’t the same. She thought, ‘It is definitely Xiao Chen zipping up the zipper in confusion, but the crime tool has betrayed him!’

“Hee hee, Sister Mengying, covering it up makes it worse. All right, Beibei didn’t see anything.” Jin Beibei smiled mischievously, giving an ‘I understand’ look.

Cheng Mengying was madly angered and suddenly stood up from the bench, glaring at Xiao Chen: “You….you you you you….what did you do to me?”


Chapter 32 – Temptation

Wow, didn’t expect this to be coming. – raltzero



“You you you you….!!” Cheng Mengying became angry and wanted to kick Xiao Chen: “I don’t care! You’re this Young Lady’s servant, so think up a solution!”

“I’m not Doraemon….” Xiao Chen became somewhat silent: “How about we go out for a walk?”

“Let’s go!” Cheng Mengying also didn’t have a solution. When she couldn’t walk anymore, couldn’t she just make Xiao Chen to carry herself?

Thus, the two walked out of the villa area. Although the villa area had street lights, they were very dim. Cheng Mengying didn’t want to walk so closely with Xiao Chen, but she was a bit scared. After just separating, she couldn’t help but get closer to Xiao Chen….

Cheng Mengying’s heart was jumping, accelerating a bit. Today was her first time walking together with a boy during the evening. Moreover, this boy was her former fiance! Saying that Cheng Mengying wasn’t nervous was impossible.

‘He’s my servant now! A servant is nothing, where I go, he also has to go.’ Cheng Mengying comforted herself in her heart.

It was just that halfway, Young Lady Cheng somewhat could not bear it anymore. At noon, she didn’t eat too much in order to go watch the strange matter between Xiao Chen and Lou Zhenming. At night, she was tense and frightened as she stood in the gym for a long time and subsequently she went back home to the villa cold and hungry. When had Young Lady Cheng ever gone through this before?

She wasn’t a Martialist. Walking two kilometers made her really tired so she pointing at a bench at the side of the road and said: “Dying, tired to death, this Young Lady needs a break. Xiao Chen, wipe it for me!”

“Oh….” Xiao Chen bitterly smiled and conveniently took out a pack of napkins, simply wiping the bench.
The Young Lady was obviously very tired. When sitting down on the bench, she comfortably groaned and did not want to leave. However, when Xiao Chen heard the young lady’s languid groan, his lower body had a shameful reaction. The frightened Xiao Chen quickly sat next to the Young Lady, not daring to let the Young Lady see any flaws. If he did, it would be a bit disgraceful ah!

Although Xiao Chen seemed like a person who bullied men and stole their women in First High, he was, in fact, still a young virgin!

A gust of the night wind blew by and the Young Lady’s nice-smelling fragrance blew onto Xiao Chen’s face. Xiao Chen could not help but take a deep breath and heart started jumping, slightly accelerating….
Xiao Chen quickly changed his focus to the night sky lights, not daring to pay attention to the young lady again.
The villa area’s night was tranquil and silent. Most of the villas already had their lights off. Only a handful of villas in the distance still had their lights on. Looking at all that was present, Xiao Chen had the feeling of being one of the previous generation.

Being driven out of Xiao Family, becoming a cultivator of true virtue, then becoming the young lady’s servant. All of this felt so long, but in reality, it was only two days.

He originally believed that transferring to another school and being low-key while slowly cultivating and investigating the manipulator behind-the-scenes would be an easy matter. Only, he didn’t think that on the first day of the transfer, he would become enemies with a junior of the Lou Family!

However, Xiao Chen was not afraid of getting into trouble. In Tian Lao’s words, ‘Why would a Truth Cultivator be afraid of others? It was others fearing a Truth Cultivator!’

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen suddenly heard an even snoring sound near his ear. Turning his head, he found that Young Lady Cheng had fallen asleep!

The Young Lady was lying down on the roadside bench, sleeping.

On Cheng Mengying’s delicate face were two dimples from the tranquil smiling face, causing Xiao Chen to be spellbound upon seeing it.

This was Xiao Chen’s first close contact with the Young Lady. He suddenly discovered that the young lady was really beautiful and lovable. The previous him had his eyes on Lin Ke’er and Shen Jingxuan, so he had ignored the Young Lady.

Of course, this was just Xiao Chen’s survival strategy. But Xiao Chen’s heart, at this moment, really moved a bit.
Taking off his school uniform shirt, he covered the Young Lady’s body with it. The night air was cool, so Xiao Chen was afraid that the Young Lady would catch a cold. He was indifferent about it because ever since he had become a Truth Cultivator of First Layer Qi Training, Xiao Chen found that his physique was obviously better than before by manifolds….

In fact, Xiao Chen wanted to hug the Young Lady. But thinking about it, she no longer was his fiancee and there couldn’t be direct contact between men and women. What would he do if the Young Lady woke up tomorrow and got angry at him? Therefore, Xiao Chen decided to accompany the Young Lady here.

Moreover, Xiao Chen could now cultivate anywhere. Being on the bench made no difference….

“Small Chenzi, tempted?” Tian Lao’s wretched voice rang in Xiao Chen’s ears.

“How can I be tempted? Currently, she already isn’t my fiancee….” Xiao Chen bitterly smiled while replying.

“You really have no ambitions! Don’t forget what you are right now: a Truth Cultivator. An extremely flamboyant Truth Cultivator, do you still care about these?” Tian Lao responded disapprovingly due to Xiao Chen not being able to have a far vision.

“Hehe….” Xiao Chen laughed and didn’t say anything. He directly revolved the ‘Seizing Good Fortune War Mantra’ in his body, cultivating once more.

In the Anorectal Ward of First People’s Hospital in Songning City.

Ma Gangmen lay on the bed with his whole body constantly shivering. His anus that was almost kicked to **** by Xiao Chen had just been stitched twice. However, after the anesthesia wore off, what followed was a piercing pain!1

“Gangmen, how is it? Are you fine?” Lou Zhenming’s gloomy face asked Ma Gangmen after the operation finished.

“Brother Ming, I’m fi….ne!” Ma Gangmen replied with a pale face.

“Brother Ming, this matter can’t be forgotten! We have to avenge Gangmen now that he’s been beaten into this ah!” Monkey said while gnashing his teeth.

“Damn, today I was mistaken! This kid isn’t a Martialist, but he has some brute force. If it were I who raised my hands today, it would have been over!” Lou Zhenming was very confident towards his own strength: “It was just that now that I want to raise my hands, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be that easy. Deng Xiaokun, that kid, definitely is staring at us. At least for a short period of time, we can’t use this pretense to deal with Xiao Chen!”

“Then we just let off that kid like this?” Monkey was unwilling in his heart.

“Let off?” Lou Zheming cloudily said: “How can we let him off? Though we can’t raise our hands, we can find someone else to do it! Don’t forget what my family does, we can casually look for a few people. How wouldn’t we be able to torment him to death?”

“Makes sense, but if we use Lou Family’s helpers, won’t it be found out by Deng Xiaokun?” Shou Hou’s was very intelligent as he immediately discovered the flaw.

“You’ve got a point. If this is known by Deng Xiaokun, that guy would definitely incessantly pester us!” Lou Zhenming nodded: “We’re Daoists, so we have the follow the rules of Daoism. Him holding the information can make our lives miserable! How about I check if I can hire some outsiders!”

“En, this is the best way. When it’s time that he’s dead, you’ll be clean!” Monkey said with approval.

Lou Zhenming nodded and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Monkey’s words had reminded him. If Lou Zhenming wanted to teach Xiao Chen a lesson before, then right now, Lou Zhenming already wanted to kill Xiao Chen.
Although there were only a few people that knew today’s matter, however, as long as he saw Xiao Chen, Lou Zhenming couldn’t help but think about what happened in the gym today. Only if Xiao Chen disappeared from his eyes would he be able to swallow his fears.

Growing up in an underworld environment made Lou Zhenming more sinister than other Aristocratic Family juniors. Killing, to him, was nothing out of the ordinary. Only, at school, due to school rules, he hadn’t killed anyone. At most, it was severe injury and this, under the cover of Lei Dianfeng, had not been exposed.
After thinking for a moment, Lou Zhenming pulled out his cell phone and dialed Lei Dianfeng’s phone number.
“Young Master Ming, the gym has been cleaned up. Today again it’s another person who doesn’t have eyes entering the hospital right?” Lei Dianfeng had just cleaned up the gym. Upon seeing a pool of blood, he thus asked while taking pleasure in others misfortunes.

‘Today’s person has been hit quite hard. There being so much blood, this person at least should be in the hospital!’

“Damn, drop it. The one in the hospital is Ma Gangmen!” Lou Zhenming replied in a bad mood: “Today, he fell headfirst in front of the country bumpkin!”

“Ah?” Lei Dianfeng was confuzzled for a moment, then immediately became somewhat stunned. Lou Zhenming’s strength, he knew. Although it wasn’t as good as him, it wasn’t weak either. How could he suffer a disadvantage in the hands of a country bumpkin? Isn’t this unscientific? But, Lei Dianfeng still asked with a bit of nervousness: “Young Master Ming, do you have any complications?”

If Lou Zhenming had any complications, he Lei Dianfeng wouldn’t be able to explain it. His presence in this school was to take care of Lou Zhenming!

“I have no problems because I didn’t raise my hands. If I had raised my hands, then the one lying in the hospital would be the country bumpkin!” Lou Zhenming had total confidence in his own skill: “Before, I was careless and thought that for a country bumpkin, Ma Gangmen was enough So I let them fight a round, but who would know that the country bumpkin had Innate Supernatural Strength? He absolutely had no Inner Qi, but Ma Gangmen totally did not have the strength to hit back! It really makes me angry!”

“So that’s how it is….” Lei Dianfeng let out a sigh of relief: “Young Master Ming, tell me what should be done next!”

“Teacher Lei, I want to murder him!” Lou Zhenming ferociously replied.

“Murder….” Lei Dianfeng frowned and carefully said: “Young Master Ming, this person, how to say, is the school’s student. If he died after having just had a conflict with you, then suspicions would be on you….”
“Of course it wouldn’t be our people raising their hands.” Lou Zhenming replied: “Teacher Lei, you often box in the underworld with the wanted criminals in the other cities, so you should know some of them, right? As you know, money makes the world go round….”

“Understood! Young Master Ming, I know how to do!” After Lei Dianfeng listened to it, he thought, ‘Lou Zhenming is really clever ah! If it were the wanted criminals in other cities, then the blame wouldn’t be pulled onto him and Lou Zhenming’s bodies.’

At the same time, in a private box in a bar near First High, Zhao Yuliang’s face darkened as he bumped cups with Chen Jinpeng.

“Cheng Mengying transferred and Xiao Chen was given to her as a servant?” Chen Jinpeng thought that it was inconceivable, where had this news come from?

Chapter 31 – You Won’t Be Hungry If You Fall Asleep

Wow, a new chapter after a month and 10 days of inactivity. – raltzero



As a result, the lost Young Lady began cursing Xiao Chen at the school gates. She treated the stone under her foot as Xiao Chen and kicked it to death!

Xiao Chen actually didn’t waste too much time. He ran fast and had already pursued her to the school gates, where he happened to hear the Young Lady ruthlessly curse him out. He could not help but break into sweat on his forehead! Kick his little brother….she can’t be that ruthless ah?

Usually Cheng Mengying isn’t this kind of vicious girl. Apparently, you can’t judge a person by their cover!
“Cough cough!” Xiao Chen coughed twice and stood behind Cheng Mengying.

“Who?” Cheng Mengying jumped in fright. She quickly turned around and discovered that it was Xiao Chen. She let out a relieved breath, but immediately tensed up again. The words that she had said in anger just before shouldn’t have been heard by this guy right? ‘If he heard it, then I’ll die of shame! I even talked about his…little brother!’

“Xiao Chen, you scared me! Appearing and disappearing so unpredictably, when did you come?” Though Cheng Mengying said these words, the last sentence was actually the most important.

“Just now, why?” Xiao Chen pretended to be nonchalant. He clearly understood in his heart that Cheng Mengying wasn’t here to hear his jokes. Moreover, she probably wanted to seize the opportunity to plead mercy for him to Lou Zhenming. Although Xiao Chen didn’t know the specifics, it could be seen from Cheng Mengying’s attitude.
However, Xiao Chen wasn’t curious. He knew that the young lady had a reason for doing so. It was nothing but sympathy towards him and in addition he was her servant, so she didn’t wish for him to have an accident. However, sympathizing with him and secretly liking him were two different matters, and Xiao Chen wasn’t so narcissistic either.

During the time he had not been driven out by Xiao Family, the Young Lady could stand him, not to mention now. Therefore, Xiao Chen didn’t bother to question her. Questioning too much would create awkwardness like misunderstanding that she liked him. Just knowing the Young Lady’s goodwill was enough.

“Nothing, I thought you were going to give up.” Cheng Mengying snorted: “This Young Lady can’t find her way home, so I’ll give you a chance. Take this Young Lady home!”

“Uncle Cheng didn’t come?” Xiao Chen felt that Cheng Mengying being so proud was funny. To be frank, Xiao Chen’s memory was good, but he knew that the villa wasn’t close to the school. Although it was only 10 minutes by car, if it was by walking, it was at least half an hour!

“Of course he didn’t come. If he came I would have gone early! Do you think that I would wait for you?” Cheng Mengying coldly replied. Of course, even if Cheng Zhongming came, Cheng Mengying would still wait for Xiao Chen but how could she openly admit it?

“Let’s see if there’s a taxi around here, so that we can ride a taxi back. If we walk from here, it would take at least half an hour. Do you have a car?” Xiao Chen used to drive to and from school, but the car has been taken away now so it suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar.

“No, before, I used to live in the school, so why would I have a car?” Cheng Mengying rolled her eyes, hmphed and said: “Do you think I’m like you, Young Master Xiao, coming and leaving school with a car every day? Using a fancy sports car to pick up girls?”

“Cough cough….not having a car is not having a car….” Xiao Chen’s thick skin turned red. It was very hard to explain.

“This Young Lady has decided to buy a car and afterwards you’ll be the driver!” Cheng Mengying thought for a bit. Not having a car was inconvenient. Formerly in First High she had lived in a school dormitory. However, Second High didn’t have such an accommodation. All of the students were commuting students, therefore a car was very important.
As they were speaking, a taxi drove over and stopped in front of Cheng Mengying and Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen skillfully boarded in the copilot seat, leaving the Young Lady sit in the back row.

The taxi driver felt that it was a little weird. ‘Isn’t this boy and girl a couple? Why aren’t they sitting together? Are they having a fight?’

Xiao Chen stated the address of the villa. The taxi driver, upon seeing that they were going to the same place, realized that it was evident that they were living together. It was estimated that they were having a fight, so the driver said while driving: “Young fellow, it seems that you and your girlfriend are having a fight?”

“Hehe….” Xiao Chen didn’t express an opinion because the relationship between him and the Young Lady was really hard to explain. How could he say that he was the Young Lady’s servant? Who would believe it? They weren’t in front of a member of an Aristocratic Family, so it would be very hard to believe that someone would have a study companion and servant….

“Don’t laugh. Having such a beautiful girlfriend, but not knowing how to appreciate and instead fighting! Don’t blame me for talking too much, I’m an experienced person!” The taxi driver sighed and said: “When I was young, I also quarrelled a lot with my wife because of some trivial stuff. We were always fighting, but when she became sick and lied on a bed unconscious, then turning into a vegetable, I could only regret endlessly….”

“Now I only regret not treasuring every moment I had, ai! But it has passed. Don’t think that I’m making a fuss, I just want to tell you this: Young people must understand how to treasure, treasure your happy times together!”

Xiao Chen was silent. Happy times? He, from infancy to now, felt that he had no happy times! From the start he was intelligent. Just because he couldn’t cultivate Inner Qi was hard and painful. Every night he would exercise, and then keep a smile the next day while pretending to be a dandy in order to reduce others hostility towards him!
However, even so, it still bought in others harassment. Saying that the families breaking their engagement was to be expected!

Would he promise to live for himself? The answer is no! Xiao Chen’s regret was that he would go back home every day just to exercise nonstop, leaving no time for him to talk to his father to chat for a bit. Thinking about it now, Xiao Chen really regretted it. His father was missing and he didn’t know when he would see him again….

“Young fellow, figured it out?” The taxi driver, upon seeing that Xiao Chen wasn’t speaking, thought that Xiao Chen had figured it out and then said: “Then I’ll stop right now so that you go to the back and sit together with your girlfriend!”

“Eh….” Xiao Chen’s bad temper disappeared after the preaching, it was really undeserved ah!

“Pu….” The young lady could not help but laugh out loud, then helped Xiao Chen out: “Shifu, thank you, but we aren’t a couple. I’m a bit tired, so I’ll lie down on the seat for a bit….”

After she finished talking, Cheng Mengying, perhaps in order to prove her words, laid her body down on the seat.
“Unexpectedly sleepy! Young fellow, you should step out and make your girlfriend lay in your arms!” After the taxi driver finished talking, he stopped the taxi. Stopping it at the roadside, he greatly forced Xiao Chen to get off, sticking with his position.

Xiao Chen couldn’t find a way out, so he could only get off to sit to the back seat. But when getting on, Young Lady Cheng actually glared at Xiao Chen’s eyes, ‘If you dare to touch me, then I’ll never forgive you!’

Fortunately seeing that Xiao Chen got off the car to go to the back, the taxi driver didn’t say too much, because they would arrived at the destination soon.

After getting off, Xiao Chen wanted to pay the fee but the young lady had given the fare first. Apparently, she had taken into consideration Xiao Chen’s economic status and didn’t force him to pay!

‘Buy a car, have to buy a car!’ The Young Lady had made up her mind. If this were always misunderstood, what would they do afterwards?

The sky had already turned dark, but the first floor villa light was open. Obviously, Ye Xiaoye was on the first floor.

Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying entered the villa together and saw that Ye Xiaoye was working on something in the kitchen.

‘She should be making dinner!’

Then the young lady suddenly realized that she hadn’t eaten dinner! When she was in her previous school, she had always eaten at the school cafeteria, but today, because she went to check up on Xiao Chen, she missed the dinnertime cafeteria. Now that she had returned home, she found herself hungry!

“Xiao Chen, go order something to eat.” The Young Lady ordered Xiao Chen.

‘Order something? Where would they order something at this time?’ Xiao Chen actually wasn’t hungry because prior to the evening self-study class, he had eaten the steamed rolls that Tang Tang had bought and the remaining lobster and abalone. However, it seems like the Young Lady had not eaten anything.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Xiao Chen went towards the kitchen to see if he could talk it over with Ye Xiaoye, so that he could bring something to eat to the Young Lady.

The glass door to the kitchen was slid opened and what made Xiao Chen frown was that he didn’t smell the scent of cooking food, but rather a heavy smell of medicinal herbs smell. Smelling this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but choke and sneeze!

Ye Xiaoye turned her head and coldly looked at Xiao Chen’s eyes then said: “I’ll immediately go up when I finish, wait a bit!”

“Well, I just wanted to ask a question: is there any food in the villa? Or do you have any extra left from your dinner?” Xiao Chen thought in his heart, ‘Not sure if this cool little girl has any illness, unexpectedly brewing a pot of traditional Chinese medicine.’

“No.” Ye Xiaoye coldly pointed at the clay pots on the kitchen top and said to Xiao Chen: “These are my medicinal pots. Don’t use fish and meat in it. If you want to make food, go buy your own cooking utensils.”

After she finished talking, Ye Xiaoye no longer paid any more attention to Xiao Chen. After she closed the fire and poured the medicinal soup into a bowl, she proceeded to carry it out of the kitchen and directly went upstairs.

Xiao Chen shook his head. Living together with such an indifferent neighbor really was a dull matter. However there was no food in the villa and there was nothing Xiao Chen could do about it. Thus, he turned to the Young Lady and said: “There’s nothing to eat. How about we go out and eat something?”

Although Cheng Mengying didn’t want to go spend more time outside, there was nothing in the villa and there was nothing that she could do about it as well. Hatefully staring at Xiao Chen’s eyes, she replied: “How come you didn’t leave me some of the seafood banquet at noon!”

“E….” Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart, ‘If I offered some to you, would you want it?’ With Young Lady Cheng’s disposition, would she be willing to eat his leftovers?

But when the two people walked out of the villa, they became dumbfounded!

Why? Because the villa area simply didn’t have any taxis passing through! The ones living in this area were mostly rich people with cars and besides, this district had very few taxis passing through, not to mention the villa area!
However, walking to the district entrance from the villa was a good three to four kilometers. For Xiao Chen, it wasn’t a problem, but for Cheng Mengying, it was a bit far.

“How about….you bear it?” Xiao Chen didn’t have a solution. The villa area was full of villas and didn’t even have a snack bar.

“How can I bear it? Being hungry when going to sleep will keep one awake!” Cheng Mengying glared at Xiao Chen’s eyes.

“You won’t be hungry if you fall asleep.” Xiao Chen said.


Chapter 30 – Proud Lovable Young Lady



“Okay Xiao Chen, this time we admit defeat!” Lou Zhenming didn’t think that this matter would turn out like this. Ma Gangmen’s strength, among the non-Fighters, was around the top. In Lou Zhenming’s opinion, as long as he exercised for some time, he would be able to successfully break through to First Layer Inner Qi Fighter. However, he didn’t think that Xiao Chen, who they had thought to be a country bumpkin without the strength to fight back, would be such a fierce figure!

Moreover, according to Lou Zhenming’s watching perspective, Xiao Chen was not a Fighter because his kick did not have Inner Qi. Him being so fierce could only be attributed to his strength being huge and his bodily reactions being more agile!

Therefore, Lou Zhenming’s loss wasn’t willingly. If it was Deng Xiaokun who had beat him up, then he wouldn’t have any ideas. Then, it would be that Ma Gangmen’s strength was not as good as the opponent, so being beat up was just beating up. On the other hand, Xiao Chen….an ordinary person, was unexpectedly powerful!

Ma Gangmen obviously had no opportunity to make a comeback and continuing would only bring disgrace, so Lou Zhenming simply admitted defeat.

“Admitting defeat? Before when we wanted to admit defeat, you disagreed. Now, according to your rules, it’s only been five minutes and there are still five more minutes. It hasn’t even been ten minutes, so how can you admit defeat?” Deng Xiaokun unrestrainedly stated Ma Gangmen’s rule from before.

Lou Zhenming looked at Deng Xiaokun’s eyes resentfully, feeling incomparable fury in his heart. ‘Damn you Ma Gangmen for not being sure of victory! You made so many rules and now it’s like picking up a rock just to drop it to your foot right? It’s like boasting that you’re a genius when you’re a trash!1

“Bang[Peng]!”

Kick!

Xiao Chen once again kicked Ma Gangmen’s anus. Previously, Ma Gangmen decided not to spare person, so how could Xiao Chen let him off easily now? Hitting halfway and letting him off wasn’t part of Young Master Xiao’s disposition. Moreover, even if Xiao Chen let Ma Gangmen off, how could Lou Zhenming consider it as finished?

At most, he would admit defeat in the short term and afterwards, he would definitely be thinking about revenge. Therefore, Xiao Chen might as well be ruthless towards beating Ma Gangmen up. Creating a psychological shadow within him from abusing him would be best.

“Ao….” Screaming like a slaughtered pig, Ma Gangmen felt that his anus wasn’t his own. His anus had already split open, blood stained his pants….

Cheng Mengying somewhat could not bear to keep watching. Xiao Chen was very vicious, but Cheng Mengying also knew that if Xiao Chen hadn’t knocked Ma Gangmen onto the floor, then the one howling on the ground now would be Xiao Chen.

Apparently, although Xiao Chen was a waste because he wasn’t able to cultivate Inner Qi, his physical quality was very good. At least, it was much better than the average person.

Ma Gangmen didn’t think that when he previously set the abuse time for 10 minutes with Xiao Chen, it would become his own nightmare. Ten minutes, which had seemed to be an instant for Ma Gangmen, became incomparably slow!

Ma Gangmen was kicked from behind once again and his entire body became numb. He could only pray in the heart, ‘hurry up, hurry up’….

At last, the unendurable ten minutes passed and Ma Gangmen felt like he had come from the execution grounds. He was like a dead dog lying on the ground, gulping in air heavily!

“Kneel and lick my shoes!” Xiao Chen looked at Ma Gangmen, eyes without the slightest sympathy, and coldly said.

“Xiao Chen, leave it!” Lou Zhenming couldn’t bear it anymore: “Let’s write it off today’s matter and leave it at this, okay?”

“Okay, then in that case, forget it.” Xiao Chen nodded. Ma Gangmen’s situation now made it impossible for him to lick Xiao Chen’s shoes. He had been kicked by Xiao Chen on the ground until he couldn’t move! In addition, Xiao Chen didn’t want to force Lou Zhenming to become too anxious!

At least Lou Zhenming had clearly stated that today’s matter would be written off. Although his words weren’t so credible, within a short time, it was assured that Lou Zhenming wouldn’t find him for trouble. That alone was enough!

What Xiao Chen currently lacked the most was time! If one day he had Tian Lao’s level of strength, and the time came to face even the entirety of Lou Family, then what would there be to be afraid of?

And what happened today would probably not be spread out due to Lou Zhenming being a face-saving person. How could he tell others about this face-losing matter? Deng Xiaokun didn’t know about his identity and young lady was estimated to not speak irresponsibly, therefore Xiao Chen was very reassured.

Regarding Xiao Chen’s action on letting off Ma Gangmen, Deng Xiaokun nodded in approval. Before, when he was teaching Ma Gangmen a lesson, he didn’t make Lou Zhenming completely lose face. Being flexible was one of the characteristics of a great person.

In Deng Xiaokun’s opinion, 5 minutes and 10 minutes, although it was a large difference for Ma Gangmen, made no difference for Lou Zhenming. The person suffering was Ma Gangmen, not Lou Zhenming.

However, if Ma Gangmen kneeled and licked his shoes, the one losing face would be Lou Zhenming! Even if he endured it today, he wouldn’t let it go tomorrow. However now, the matter had passed.

“Shou Hou, open the door and deliver Gangmen to the hospital. I’ll send Young Lady Cheng home!” Lou Zhenming’s complexion was gloomy. Today’s matter was beyond his control, so he needed time to cool down.

“Yes, Brother Ming!” Shou Hou quickly ran and opened the gym door, but didn’t expect that when he opened the door, he would actually see Tang Tang standing at the doorway!

Shou Hou was confused for a bit, but didn’t say anything, thus allowing Tang Tang to rush in!

“???” When Tang Tang saw Xiao Chen’s perfectly fine appearance and the one lying on the floor with status unknown was Ma Gangmen, she immediately froze. Looking a bit startled, she looked at Deng Xiaokun: “Did you beat him up?”

“It was Xiao Chen….” Deng Xiaokun wryly smiled: “I was just buying soy sauce.”2

“Don’t say that! Today’s matter, thank you!” Xiao Chen patted Deng Xiaokun’s shoulder, seriously said.

Shou Hou walked over and lifted up Ma Gangmen, then quietly walked out of the stadium. Formerly, he often did this matter: carrying away the people that were beaten and throwing them into the hospital. But today, he was carrying his brother Ma Gangmen.

“Cheng Mengying, it’s very late. How about I take you home?” Lou Zhenming earnestly asked after he took a deep breath and used the hand gesture to invite towards Cheng Mengying.

“No need, a car will pick me up.” Cheng Mengying shook her head.

“So it’s like this ah….” Lou Zhenming didn’t have any doubts. After all, considering Cheng Mengying’s identity, if there wasn’t a private car to pick her up or she didn’t drive home herself, it would be weird. Therefore, Lou Zhenming didn’t force it. Instead, he nodded and replied: “Then see you tomorrow!”

After Lou Zhenming finished speaking, he quickly hurried towards Shou Hou’s direction to catch up. He had methods on winning over people’s hearts over. Since he wasn’t able to send Cheng Mengying home now, he naturally accompanied Ma Gangmen to the hospital. As for the gym door, there really wasn’t a need to pay attention; the night guard would come to close it.

“What’s the matter ah? How could it be that the one lying on the ground was Ma Gangmen?” Tang Tang looked at Xiao Chen with a bit of shock: “You did it?”

“En, I come from the mountains. Having enormous strength is normal because I often fight with wild animals for practice.” Xiao Chen smiled and said: “Just a bit of brute force!”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Deng Xiaokun nodded: “No wonder you’re so powerful and have such quick reactions, so it was like this!”

“But if it wasn’t for your social status, I’m afraid that it would be a 3 versus 1, and the one on the ground would probably be me!” Although Xiao Chen had confidence in dealing with a 3 people, now wasn’t the time to expose his strength, so on the surface he was grateful: “Xiaokun, I recognize having your kind of brother!”

“Haha, we already are good brothers! Us two and Tang Tang can be like the three sworn brothers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!” Deng Xiaokun said laughingly.

Cheng Mengying stood alone, not knowing why, but at this moment when seeing Xiao Chen, Tang Tang, and Deng Xiaokun chatting, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Perhaps those three were worldly people and she already wasn’t on the same level as him….

‘However, you’re still this young lady’s servant right? Being so cold to this young lady, what a *******! Actually, Xiao Chen is innocent ah. I told him not to publicly announce our relationship in school. Thinking about it, no one wants a loser fiance right?’

“What are you still doing here? Xiao Chen hasn’t been beaten, are you disappointed?” Tang Tang saw Cheng Mengying and her original smiling face turned cold.

“You guys….” Cheng Mengying stomped her foot and briskly walked to the entrance of the gym….the young lady’s chest angrily rose and fell, that’s right, she was about to explode!

Xiao Chen watched Cheng Mengying run away and faintly sighed in his heart. He wanted to catch up to her, but due to Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun, it wasn’t good to directly leave. Apparently, Tang Tang had misunderstood the young lady!

“Xiao Chen, do you have any matters in the evening? How about we find a place to drink two cups?” Deng Xiaokun asked.

“Next time. I’m a bit tired today, so I’ll go back….” Xiao Chen hesitated before rejecting the offer. Who knows what would happen to the young lady?

“Fine, then next time!” Deng Xiaokun didn’t care. Many things had happened today and it was only Xiao Chen’s first day transferring over, so being tired was normal.

However, Tang Tang felt pensive. Her cheeks swelled and she wanted to say something, but eventually didn’t say it. Instead, she said: “Xiao Chen, go back early, see you tomorrow!”

“En.” Xiao Chen nodded and quickly ran out of the gym, running towards the young lady’s direction.

Deng Xiaokun didn’t think too much about it. He thought that Xiao Chen feared Lou Zhenming’s retaliation. But Tang Tang knew that Xiao Chen was definitely chasing after Cheng Mengying!

‘How is Cheng Mengying any good, for you to be so foolish? Didn’t you see that she came to see the excitement?’ Tang Tang felt that Xiao Chen was stupid for not seeing this! However, she also understood. After all, Cheng Mengying was Xiao Chen’s former fiancee, so he definitely still had some feelings….

“Dead Xiao Chen, rotten Xiao Chen, why didn’t you tell me you were powerful earlier. You made this young lady worry in vain and made me talk so much rubbish to Lou Zhenming! Wait for this young lady, this young lady has also learned your moves. Next time I’ll kick your little brother, kick your butt….” Cheng Mengying went to the door and found herself dumbfounded. It was midnight and she could not find the way home. Her father also hadn’t come to pick up herself, so how would she be able to go home?

Chapter 29 – Guessing The Beginning, Not Guessing The Ending



“Okay, don’t get mad.” Xiao Chen patted Deng Xiaokun on the shoulder. Deng Xiaokun helping this far today had made Xiao Chen feel very grateful: “I agree to your condition. I’ll fight a round with ‘Horse ***’.”

“Good, you’re very good!” When Lou Zhenming heard Xiao Chen unexpectedly call Ma Gangmen “Horse ***”, he was happily enraged: “In a moment, I’ll see if you can say the words of ‘Horse ***’!”

“Keep in mind kid, you call me, Grandpa Ma, Ma Gangmen!” Ma Gangmen started moving his body, getting ready to fight. In his opinion, though Xiao Chen wasn’t admitting his mistakes right now, in a moment, he would be on his knees crying.

“Understood, Anus(gāngmén), Horse *******(pìyǎn er).” Xiao Chen nodded.

“Ma Gangmen, let’s start. It’s useless to argue with him!” Lou Zhenming waved, directly commanding Ma Gangmen.

“Heihei, okay!” Ma Gangmen coldly snickered twice, then walked towards Xiao Chen with his iron tower-like body. In his eyes, Xiao Chen had the physique of a small chicken, thus beating him up was going to be a breeze!

Deng Xiaokun was watching this with his eyes, feeling anxious in his heart. If Ma Gangmen really started, ten minutes was enough to make Xiao Chen paralyzed. At that time, everything would be too late! If Xiao Chen had any problems, how would he explain himself to Tang Tang ah! How would he be able to say that his guarantee was worth anything when the time came!

“Wait!” Deng Xiaokun clenched his teeth and made his decision. This decision was for Tang Tang! He could see that Tang Tang was very worried for Xiao Chen, therefore in order for him not to see Tang Tang sad: “I can kneel, but this kneel only represents me….”

Deng Xiaokun’s words made all the people present shocked. Lou Zhenming was shocked, the Young Lady was shocked, and even Xiao Chen himself was shocked!

Lou Zhenming really didn’t think that Deng Xiaokun would compromise for an outsider! Young Lady did not expect that Xiao Chen’s personal relations would be so good to this degree! Only Xiao Chen seemed to faintly understand. Although Deng Xiaokun had a sense of loyalty, however, it definitely wasn’t to the extent of sacrifice for a meal at noon! All of this was perhaps due to Tang Tang!

But whether or not it was, Xiao Chen was very grateful. He was very moved! Deng Xiaokun, Deng Family, he wrote it down in his heart! This favor would never be forgotten! In his most dire straits, when he became an ordinary person, Deng Xiaokun had helped himself.

“Too late! The fight has already started, whatever anyone says is useless now!” Lou Zhenming wasn’t stupid. Though Deng Xiaokun said that he would kneel, it only represented himself and did not have a relationship with Deng Family. This meant that his kneel was only worth a fart! Lou Zhenming naturally wouldn’t comply. But in order to avoid Cheng Mengying feel that he didn’t have any inconsistencies, he used the excuse that the fight had already started.

“Thank you!” Xiao Chen smiled at Deng Xiaokun and said: “In a moment, the one who kneels, begs for mercy and licks the other person’s shoes is uncertain….it’s just a pity that I’m wearing sneakers today. Licking this clean would be a little difficult!”

“Pu….” After Deng Xiaokun listened to Xiao Chen’s words, he could not help but laugh. He didn’t expect Xiao Chen to be so optimistic. However, he decided that if Xiao Chen was in a tight spot in a moment, he would forcefully take him out.

“Don’t say these useless words, quickly begin!” Lou Zhenming was looking forward to Xiao Chen’s bloody scene, thus, he could not help but impatiently shout.

“Bang[Hong]!”

Ma Gangmen’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirst! His fist maliciously punched out, ruthlessly pounding towards Xiao Chen. Ma Gangmen’s punch was done unflinchingly. As long as his punch connected, he would beat Xiao Chen to death! Daring to give him, Ma Gangmen, a nickname? Really didn’t want to live!

“Pa!”

It was just that after Ma Gangmen swung his fist, he discovered that something was wrong. He didn’t feel the usual refreshing feeling of knocking someone down, but rather felt like he was hitting an iron sheet!

Ma Gangmen took a closer look at his own fist and saw that it was unexpectedly caught by Xiao Chen!

‘****, this kid’s reaction speed is quite fast, he could unexpectedly catch my fist!’ Ma Gangmen had underestimated him in his heart. ‘This kid’s strength is pretty strong to use only a palm to block my fist.’

But Ma Gangmen didn’t care. Sometimes fighting required skill, not just brute force. ‘Xiao Chen probably prepared himself when I was previously getting myself ready, but there won’t be a next time!’

Thinking up to here, Ma Gangmen immediately retracted his fist. He wanted to once again attack Xiao Chen and batter him to the left and right, wanting to see if he could resist it!

Only, Ma Gangmen was a bit anxious in the next moment. This was because his fist was still held by Xiao Chen’s hand! Though he wanted to pull it out, he actually couldn’t pull it out!

“Release me!” Ma Gangmen suddenly increased the amount of force used to pull his hand, wanting to take back his fist. However, he found that his fist was still inside Xiao Chen’s hand, unexpectedly motionless!

Seeing that he couldn’t pull out his right hand, Ma Gangmen didn’t move. He was forced to use his left fist. In his opinion, if Xiao Chen guarded his left fist, he would relax his vigilance and he would take the opportunity to take his right fist out.

The idea was fine, but reality is cruel. When Ma Gangmen’s left hand punched out, it was also held by Xiao Chen. He found out that the idea had become the Titanic! With both hands caught, how would he be able to hit?

“Ma Gangmen, why are you playing around? You think this is an Inner Qi fight between families?” Lou Zhenming had not experienced it personally, so it was very hard for him to think that Ma Gangmen had fallen prey to Xiao Chen, therefore he frowned and said: “Quickly push him to the floor, stop playing around!”

Not far away, Deng Xiaokun’s lips curled up into a smile. ‘This Xiao Chen has hidden quite deeply….oh, I shouldn’t say ‘hidden too deeply’.’ This was because of what Deng Xiaokun saw. Although Xiao Chen was fiercer than Ma Gangmen, Xiao Chen definitely wasn’t a Fighter. He didn’t use Inner Qi, so that is to say, he wasn’t even a First Layer Inner Qi.

This meant that Xiao Chen probably had a physique such as Innate Supernatural Strength. If such a person practiced Inner Qi, then that person’s future would be limitless ah….

Ma Gangmen was going through an unspeakable bitter suffering. He wanted to say that he had been held by Xiao Chen, but wouldn’t it sound like a joke? He was Lou Zhenming’s dignified subordinate. If it was spread that he was held by a transfer student, then Ma Gangmen would not only lose face, but also Lou Zhenming’s face.

“Bang[Peng]!”

Just as Ma Gangmen was thinking of ways to turn this around, Xiao Chen started his elimination. To be exact, Xiao Chen used his foot and kicked at Ma Gangmen’s crotch, making Ma Gangmen shout “Ao!”. Ma Gangmen’s whole body felt the pain and he jumped up, then started sweating profusely on his forehead.

Although Xiao Chen was a First Layer Qi-Training cultivating true virtue, the method of teaching others when he was a dandy was retained; directly greeting the opponent’s weakest point! But during those times it was usually Chen Jinpeng beating the opponent up, then Xiao Chen striking once more.

After kicking Ma Gangmen’s lifeblood, Xiao Chen took the opportunity to let go. Ma Gangmen directly kneeled on the floor in pain with his hands over his crotch, suffering terrible pain!

This scene, except for Deng Xiaokun who already expected it, made Lou Zhenming, Shou Hou and Cheng Mengying all open their eyes wide. Lou Zhenming also didn’t think that the one kneeling on the floor would be Ma Gangmen, moreover so rapidly!

Cheng Mengying actually knew Xiao Chen’s method of giving others a hard time: kicking the little brother of the opponent. Formerly, Cheng Mengying felt that this was shameless. She felt that Xiao Chen was completely relying on Chen Jinpeng’s, thus allowing him to oppose his opponent. Not to mention kicking the little brother of the opponent, she estimated that he wouldn’t even be able to touch the enemy’s body!

But today completely subverted Cheng Mengying’s awareness! Xiao Chen unexpectedly forced Ma Gangmen to fall on the floor? ‘This guy is so formidable and fortunately has me to worry about him, thinking up ways to help him. If not for him, I and Lou Zhenming wouldn’t have talked so much nonsense! Made this young lady infuriated! Xiao Chen, wait for this young lady….this move, this young lady has learned, wait for this young lady to kick your little brother….’

Just, after thinking up to here, Cheng Mengying’s face immediately turned red….

Although Lou Zhenming had been focusing on Ma Gangmen and Xiao Chen’s body the entire time, he had also been paying attention to Cheng Mengying from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Cheng Mengying’s face turned red after watching Ma Gangmen being knocked down, he thought that Cheng Mengying was excited to see the sight of a bloody scene!

‘Originally, Cheng Mengying really did like hot-blooded violence ah! But unfortunately, the one knocked down today is my, Lou Zhenming’s, subordinate. Thus, doesn’t this mean that my, Lou Zhenming’s, status will plummet in Cheng Mengying’s heart?’

Thinking up to here, Lou Zhenming had a fit of agitation for no reason. He cried loudly at Ma Gangmen: “Are you dead or alive?! If you’re alive, then get up for daddy and severely beat him!”

Actually, Lou Zhenming did not need to state it so clearly. Ma Gangmen already was raving mad! He had never suffered such hardship ah! He hated it ah!

‘How could it be? How could Xiao Chen be so powerful?’

Ma Gangmen bore the pain and put his hands on the ground. He prepared to get up, but didn’t expect that Xiao Chen had gone around to his back at an unknown time and used his foot to kick his *** crack!

“Bang[Peng]!”

This kick of Xiao Chen’s directly kicked Ma Gangmen’s anus with the tip of his shoe. Before Ma Gangmen had even tried to get up, he cried “Ao!” once more and his whole body flew forward, heavily skidding on the floor of the gym. His nose also started bleeding, flowing everywhere.

“Waaaah!” Ma Gangmen’s intestines were almost kicked out of his anus by Xiao Chen. As he painfully struggled on the floor, both his eyes turned red. He wanted to kill Xiao Chen, but he couldn’t even get up!

“Bang[Peng]!”

Another kick!

Just as Ma Gangmen was about to raise his head, Xiao Chen directly stepped on his head. Ma Gangmen directly had some intimate contact with the ground and this time, not only was Ma Gangmen’s nose bleeding, even his mouth was full of blood! His teeth knocked on his lips, not only scraping his lips, but also knocking out a couple of teeth!

“Brother ***, oh, no, Brother *******, how do you feel?” Xiao Chen’s shoe sole was rubbing back and forth on Ma Gangmen’s face, making Ma Gangmen unable to speak a word and only able to issue a “wu wu” sound.


Chapter 28 – Young Lady Also Spectates



“Nevertheless, call me Cheng Mengying or Young Lady Cheng. Right now, we aren’t very familiar with each other.” Cheng Mengying lightly said on the surface. In her heart, she was feeling incomparable loathing and feeling even more hateful towards Xiao Chen!

‘You *******, giving this young lady trouble on the first day, then making this young lady pretend to have affection towards Lou Zhenming. You infuriate this young lady! If not for seeing that you’re very pitiful due to Cheng Family, this young lady would be disinclined to manage your life! Hmph, do you still think that you’re the beforehand ‘Young Master Xiao’? Going to school to provoke Lou Zhenming and making this young lady plead for you after he beats you up a bit can be considered teaching you a lesson!’

“Okay, then I’ll call you Cheng Mengying!” Lou Zhenming was thinking that Cheng Mengying’s meaning was that only after they were familiar with each other would he be able to call her ‘Mengying’. Thus, he was immediately feeling very joyful.

One afternoon quickly went by and what will come, will always come.

After the evening self-study, Lou Zhenming once again went to Xiao Chen.

“Xiao Chen, this time you don’t have any arguments right? Currently, there are no lessons and school has ended, so you can come along with me right?” Because Cheng Mengying was going to be spectating, Lou Zhenming was in a very happy mood. Therefore, his tone of voice towards Xiao Chen wasn’t as bad as it was previously.

“Okay, where are we going?” Since Xiao Chen had made the decision, naturally he didn’t talk bullshit with Lou Zhenming and directly stood up.

“Even if I say it, you wouldn’t know because you’re a newcomer. Just follow me!” Lou Zhenming naturally did not say that they were going to the gym. There were a lot of people in the classroom and if other people knew that he was going to the gym, he was afraid that someone would suspect how he, Lou Zhenming, would be able to get the gym keys.

One has to know, besides the occasional after school sports clubs using the gym, the gym is always locked.

“Isn’t it just going to the gym? Being so mysterious, I understand. Just go!” Deng Xiaokun lazily stood up and followed behind Xiao Chen!

Deng Xiaokun’s move made Xiao Chen a bit moved. Regardless if it was because of Tang Tang’s words or the seafood that he had eaten during lunch time, at the very least, Xiao Chen took down Deng Xiaokun’s human sentiment! Originally, Xiao Chen thought that since he had fallen, only Zhu Yingxiong would never betray his side. He didn’t expect that after just transferring to Second High, he would actually meet two like-minded friends, Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun.

“Deng Xiaokun? Are you following to create trouble?” Seeing Deng Xiaokun also standing up, Lou Zhenming immediately frowned, and said: “This matter doesn’t concern you, stay on the side!”

“Lou Zhenming, isn’t this about the meal at noon? I also ate!” Deng Xiaokun replied: “If you think you spent a lot, then how about I treat you to a banquet some day?”

“Damn, your treat? Who do you think you are, huh?” Lou Zhenming immediately became a bit angry. If it was as usual, he would give face to Deng Xiaokun. Although Deng Family went down in the world, Deng Xiaokun was said to be a Fighter with strength higher than Lou Zhenming by a bit. Therefore, in the school, Lou Zhenming tried to not have any conflicts with Deng Xiaokun. Rabbits are quick to bite, it wasn’t worth it even if he could beat up Deng Xiaokun.1

But today, because Cheng Mengying was spectating, Lou Zhenming wanted to show off in front of Cheng Mengying. Even if this was superficially, where would he ever find another good opportunity?

If a man doesn’t step on people, how can a man show off a man’s domineering side?

“Lou Zhenming, have you eaten a gun? Apparently, it seems that even my, Deng Xiaokun’s, face is worth nothing. I kindly offered myself as the peacemaker, but since you don’t appreciate it, then I’ll take a look along with Xiao Chen. Let’s see if you can play any tricks!” Deng Xiaokun coldly replied. Although his Deng Family had declined, it was still enough to make other people wary.

Deng Xiaokun’s words immediately made Lou Zhenming knit his eyebrows! Although Lou Family is currently strong, if Deng Family went all out, then Lou Family wouldn’t feel any better! Originally, if not for Deng Family’s Deng Dao being injured and Deng Family wanting to save strength thus leaving their domain and Aristocratic Family seat on their own initiative, and instead wanted to recklessly fight it out to the end with Lou Family, although Lou Family would eventually win, it certainly would be this kind of scene right now. Not even mentioning the Aristocratic Family seat, Lou Family wouldn’t even be able to maintain their current territory! After all, to fight to the bitter end with Deng Family, Lou Family would also lose a lot of strength. By then, why would those small gangs take orders from Lou Family?

However, even though Lou Zhenming was upset, it wasn’t a good idea to get angry with Deng Xiaokun directly. He could only take a deep breath and think up countermeasures of how to stop Deng Xiaokun from interfering.

Lou Zhenming was in the front guiding with Xiao Chen and Deng Xiaokun following, and behind them were Ma Gangmen and Shou Hou. Not far away, there were even more following people, namely, Cheng Mengying and….Tang Tang!

While Tang Tang didn’t directly follow, because she worried, she followed from far away. Cheng Mengying was going to watch Lou Zhenming teach Xiao Chen a lesson, so she naturally was following in the back.

Tang Tang had discovered Cheng Mengying and Cheng Mengying had also discovered Tang Tang, but both of them weren’t familiar with each other so they didn’t talk. Because Tang Tang became friends with Xiao Chen, she had no good feelings for Cheng Mengying who had broke off an engagement with him.

Very quickly, the group arrived at the northeast corner of the school where the gym was. At that moment, the gym was very dark. Ma Gangmen took out the keys and skillfully opened the door, then opened the lights of the gym.

After Tang Tang saw Cheng Mengying also going into the gym, then unexpectedly stand on Lou Zhenming’s side, she could not help but knit her eyebrows! From the looks of it, it seemed that Cheng Mengying was a group with Lou Zhenming?

‘Could it be that it was actually Cheng Mengying finding Lou Zhenming to teach Xiao Chen a lesson? She wouldn’t be that horrible right?’

Thinking up to here, Tang Tang started disliking Cheng Mengying even further.

‘Seems like the most poisonous thing is a female’s heart, that was your former fiance!’

However, Tang Tang had forgotten that she was also a female and that she also hated her fiance Yue Shaoqun. If there was a chance, she would not hesitate to beat up Yue Shaoqun!

It was just that, in Tang Tang’s opinion, Yue Shaoqun was a hypocrite with a bellyful of dirty tricks and Xiao Chen was more genuine.

“Clang!” The gym doors closed.

Because the gym windows were very high, Tang Tang could only see the lights in the gym and couldn’t see anything in the gym. She could only lie on the door of the gym to eavesdrop, but unfortunately, she couldn’t hear anything!

Actually, seeing that Deng Xiaokun and Tang Tang following along, Young Lady Cheng was a bit surprised. She didn’t think that Xiao Chen’s interactions with people would be so good, making Tang Family’s Young Lady and Deng Family’s Young Master speak for him.

Only, these two people’s identities were even comparable to Xiao Chen’s. All of them had gone down.

“Xiao Chen, do you know why I called you here?” Lou Zhenming looked at Cheng Mengying from the corner of his eye, then began to act like he was powerful. He pulled out a toothpick and held it in his mouth, looking like a mafia boss from the movies.

“Enough Lou Zhenming, stop pretending. If you have the capability to put a cigarette in your mouth, then don’t play around with a toothpick to look cool!” Xiao Chen had not even said a thing before Deng Xiaokun started speaking: “Haven’t I already said it? If you want to say something, I’ll accompany you. Is this not about the abalone and lobster at noon? I’ll treat you on another day!”

“You….” Lou Zhenming was unbearably angry. It was not that he didn’t think of smoking, but rather that he had stopped smoking. One has to know, smoking, regarding a fighter, is very harmful. He, in order to cultivate, changed it to using toothpicks. Deng Xiaokun unexpectedly wanted to make him smoke, was this not making fun of him?

“Good! Then, let’s consider the matter at noon as finished. However, this morning, Ma Gangmen’s matter, how should we calculate this?” Lou Zhenming took a deep breath. He knew that Deng Xiaokun would pester him endlessly if he didn’t relent, but he could do nothing. Who made Deng Xiaokun also eat the meal at noon?

“How about you scold Ma Gangmen.” Deng Xiaokun made it clear that he was there to make the water muddier.

“****, scold? If you want to kill me, can I also kill you? Saying this is useless, moreover, Ma Gangmen was already scolded and it wasn’t me. How we teach him will be Ma Gangmen’s decision!” After Lou Zhenming finished talking, he looked at Ma Gangmen to his side, giving a meaningful glance to him.

“How about this, Xiao Chen. I, Grandpa Ma, don’t want to make things difficult for you. Just us two will fight one round and no matter who wins or loses, today’s matter will be forgotten, how about it?” Ma Gangmen said: “The standard outcome is this: the opponent has to kneel, beg for forgiveness, and lick the other person’s shoe. Of course, in order to prevent either side from immediately kneeling, begging for forgiveness and licking the other person’s shoe, there will be a time rule. It can only be ten minutes later, that one can surrender! Otherwise, even if one gets down, they have to suffer a beating. How about it?”

“Lou Zhenming, you think that this is fair?” Deng Xiaokun asked rhetorically: “How about this, I go up and fight one round with Ma Gangmen?”

“Get lost! Deng Xiaokun, I already gave you enough face!” Lou Zhenming cold grunted: “Is this even your business? The one who scolded Ma Gangmen in the morning is Xiao Chen, not you. However, if you kneel on the floor and give daddy three kowtows, then lick off the dust on daddy’s shoes cleanly, then daddy will let Xiao Chen off how about it? Okay?”

“You….” Deng Xiaokun’s anger from Lou Zhenming wasn’t light. This was naked humiliation! Although Deng Xiaokun was very worried for Xiao Chen, however, making him kneel was impossible. If he kneeled, it would be represented as Deng Family’s compromise to Lou Family. From then on, Deng Family’s only domain would also have to be given away!

Lou Zhenming had good calculation. If Deng Xiaokun kneeled today, Lou Family would obtain something very important. Although he, Lou Zhenming, wouldn’t get to teach Xiao Chen a lesson, failing to win Cheng Mengying’s affection, in comparison, he would rather stall his plans.

“Me, what me? I have been very fair. Xiao Chen provoked Ma Gangmen, so he and Ma Gangmen will fight a round. There aren’t any additional people bullying him, what else do you want?” Lou Zhenming turned around to Cheng Mengying after he finished saying that and asked: “Goddess Cheng, you think that I’m fair right?”

“Fa….ir.” Cheng Mengying had no other choice, she could only brace herself and say that it was fair. However, she had already decided that the moment that Xiao Chen fell on the floor, she would step forward to interfere.

“Did you hear that, Deng Xiaokun, Xiao Chen? Cheng Mengying also transferred over today, so it isn’t possible for her to be a group with me. If she says that it’s fair, then it’s fair!” Lou Zhenming said.



 


  1. TLN: Probably something about Deng Family attacking over Deng Xiaokun being beat up if he were beat up 

Chapter 27 – Greatly Hopeful



“It’s like this….” Tang Tang said the circumstances in the afternoon to Deng Xiaokun once more, then said afterwards: “Okay Deng Xiaokun, you don’t need to worry about this. This isn’t your problem!”

“****, Xiao Chen, you’re amazing!” After Deng Xiaokun heard the whole story, he immediately gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up: “Tricking Lou Zhenming of 200,000, you’re really daring! However, these abalone and lobster were really delicious.”

“Deng Xiaokun, are you taking pleasures in others’ misfortunes? This is amazing?” Tang Tang frowned and then turned to look at Xiao Chen, saying: “Xiao Chen, after school ends, don’t listen to Lou Zhenming and don’t go with him. I’ll take you home! Let’s see if he can do anything then!”

“Tang Tang, although your method doesn’t have an issue, avoiding it once doesn’t mean one can avoid it forever!” Deng Xiaokun interfered and said: “Dude, what you should be doing right now is to figure out how you offended Lou Zhenming. First find out why, then act appropriately to solve the problem.”

“How would I know?” Xiao Chen wryly smiled: “This morning, Ma Gangmen wanted me to pay up 10,000. However, I didn’t have the money. Then in the afternoon, they asked to treat me to a meal and as for the following matters, Tang Tang has already told you. Tell me, how did I offend him?”

“That’s true!” Deng Xiaokun couldn’t help but frown after hearing Xiao Chen’s words. Indeed, if it was according to what Xiao Chen said, there was no hatred between the two people. If anything, the hatred was just created during lunchtime.

But Lou Zhenming had no reason to treat Xiao Chen to a meal. Just for 10,000 protection money, there was no need to go to war. Treating Xiao Chen to a meal, then trying to make Xiao Chen pay for the meal was just plain stupid. Xiao Chen couldn’t even pull out 10,000 for protection money, so where would he have the money to pay for the meal?

“All right, I’ll just go along with them after school ends.” Xiao Chen indifferently said: “Deng Xiaokun, what you said is right. Avoiding them once doesn’t mean that it’s avoidable forever. It just so happens that I want to question them on why they want to bully me.”

“Xiao Chen, it’s not that I’m looking down upon you, but if you follow them tonight, it’s predicted that you won’t come in tomorrow!” Deng Xiaokun racked his brains, then said: “Xiao Chen, do you know what Lou Zhenming’s family does?”

Previous, during the morning class, Xiao Chen and Tang Tang had spoken in low voices, so Deng Xiaokun didn’t hear anything. Therefore, he didn’t know about Xiao Chen’s background. Thus, he thought Xiao Chen didn’t know about Lou Zhenming’s Aristocratic Family background.

“What do you mean?” Although Xiao Chen already knew about what Lou Zhenming’s family did, he could only pretend to not know! Truth to be told, Lou Zhenming, Ma Gangmen and Shou Hou, these three, Xiao Chen paid no attention to. He had strength equivalent to a First Layer Inner Qi! If he wanted to, he could send Lou Zhenming’s group of three to experience Western Paradise!

“Lou Zhenming belongs to Lou Family, the Lou Family of the Nine Aristocratic Families. Moreover, Lou Family has origins with the underground, occupying three-fourths of the underground land in Songning City. Such a son of a gigantic underworld enterprise, do think that going along with him will end up with a good result?” Deng Xiaokun said: “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. In the school, several students have been beaten up to the point that they had to drop out!”

Drop out? They must have been seriously hit to drop out! Xiao Chen didn’t think that this Lou Zhenming was this ruthless! When he was ‘Young Master Xiao’, he had also bullied others, but it was never so serious.

“Then tell me, what should I do?” Xiao Chen asked. Although he didn’t know why, Xiao Chen felt that Deng Xiaokun wasn’t so simple. Perhaps it was the vision of an aristocratic family junior or perhaps it was due to his intuition from cultivating true virtue.

“Speak no more!” Deng Xiaokun replied: “Since you didn’t do anything to offend him, then just ‘talk it out’. After you ‘talk it out’ openly, there won’t be any more problems.”

‘Talk it out’ was an underworld gang’s jargon for negotiation, so Xiao Chen naturally understood.

“Then what do I do if they don’t want to talk with me?” Xiao Chen asked in return.

“Sigh, one is partial to those whom presents have been accepted…who made me eat so much of that abalone and lobster at noon?” Deng Xiaokun sighed somewhat helplessly: “After school ends, I’ll go along with you.”

“You?” Xiao Chen counter-questioned.

“Dude, don’t look down on me! I am the ‘Brother Kun’ in this school and am also very famous!” Deng Xiaokun proudly stated as he patted his chest.

Tang Tang pondered for a moment, then said: “Xiao Chen, what Deng Xiaokun said is right. Get a chance to talk it out with Lou Zhenming. It isn’t an option for this to continue, so I’ll also go with you guys.”

“Come on, monitor Tang! If you go, I’ll also have to take care of you. The you right now is not Tang Family’s Young Lady Tang, okay? I, alone, will be enough for the talk in the evening!” Deng Xiaokun said.

“Let it go, Young Master Deng! Is there a difference between you and I? Don’t forget which family your Deng Family is being substituted by!” Tang Tang was intelligent. She quietly pointed out Deng Xiaokun’s identity, but had not talked about Xiao Chen’s identity. Since Xiao Chen wanted to make a fresh beginning, his identity naturally couldn’t be exposed.

However, Tang Tang wanted Xiao Chen to know what kind of person Deng Xiaokun was!

Sure enough, Xiao Chen understood. Deng Family….was the family that was replaced by Lou Family!

Deng Family was also a family affiliated with the underworld. Of course, it wasn’t entirely of an underworld nature, but it was more of a half-black/half-white existence. As for the half-white part, Deng Family had the largest Industrial Security company and Martial Hall, and as for the half-black part, it occupied a large share of Songning City. However, it did not sell drugs!

Drugs is an underworld gang’s important source of income. Deng Family did not sell any and also did not let the other factions sell. If it was sold, it would be immediately plundered. This was the reason why Deng Family was especially hated. As a result, a new underworld family arose, and under the support of an honored one, it combined with other small gangs and dealt a fatal blow to Deng Family!

Even though Deng Family wasn’t destroyed, it was damaged severely. Its influence wasn’t as it was prior to the event and Deng Family’s strongest Fighter, Deng Dao, was seriously injured. With its strength greatly reduced, it forced Deng Family to drop out of the ranks of the Nine Aristocratic Families alliance and become an ordinary family in Songning City.

What made Xiao Chen surprised, however, was that a person from Deng Family was here. It was just a mystery on how Deng Xiaokun and Deng Dao were related.

“Don’t worry about substituting or not! This Young Master is strong, at the very least the deterrent effect is still there!” Deng Xiaokun said: “I don’t believe that Lou Zhenming wants things to blow up. If I entered the hospital, my Deng Family, although it currently isn’t strong, it isn’t a soft persimmon to pinch! Don’t worry, with me, I guarantee Xiao Chen’s safety!”

After Tang Tang heard Deng Xiaokun’s words, she thought about it, then nodded, saying: “Deng Xiaokun, seems like you’re very kind. Looks like this class monitor being kind to you hasn’t been in vain! Xiao Chen, let Deng Xiaokun accompany you this evening!”

“Come on, all you do is give me some of your unsold break sticks and sesame seed cakes in the morning. How is that being kind?” Deng Xiaokun rolled his eyes: “I took the initiative simply because of the seafood I ate at noon. I don’t eat for free, okay?”

Tang Tang knew that Deng Xiaokun was a man of loyalty. But this loyalty was towards her, Tang Tang’s, words, instead of Xiao Chen. Tang Tang did not think that Deng Xiaokun would do anything for Xiao Chen since it was the first day they had met.

While Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun seem to be buddies, these two were actually together from elementary school, middle school, and now through high school. These many years, if not for Tang Tang and Yue Shaoqun already being engaged, these two being childhood sweethearts wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.

Cheng Mengying sat in her seat, frowning due to the fact that Lou Zhenming was going to find trouble with Xiao Chen after school ended.

‘I….should I help or not? If I help, then the relationship between me and Xiao Chen would be exposed. Then Xiao Chen’s identity would be exposed…I’m afraid that this isn’t the result that Xiao Chen wants to see. But if I don’t help, then I would have to see Xiao Chen be beat up on the first day, right? Although Xiao Chen indeed needs a beating in my opinion, he is this lady’s servant, so I can’t let others hit him, right? It would only be good if this young lady beat him up herself.’

And so, Young Lady Cheng was very puzzled and ended up not paying attention in the following class, just thinking about what to do in the evening.

Only, just as Young Lady Cheng was still thinking, Lou Zhenming came over on his own initiative and sat on the empty seat next to Cheng Mengying: “Cheng Mengying, nice to meet you. My name is Lou Zhenming and I’m from Lou Family!”

After he finished saying that, Lou Zhenming put out his hand and looked at Cheng Mengying with an earnest vision.

“Oh, hello….” Cheng Mengying naturally could not shake hands with Lou Zhenming, so she just indifferently replied.

“Mengying, I, Lou Zhenming, in this school, am a very capable person. If you meet some trouble in the future, just say it to me; I’ll help you out!” Lou Zhenming said: “Of course, with your position as Young Lady Cheng, you probably won’t need me. However, if you have any problems, such as wanting to teach someone a lesson or so, I can do it for you, so that Young Lady Cheng can avoid dirting her hands!”

“Oh? I heard that you wanted to teach Xiao Chen a lesson in the evening?” Cheng Mengying wasn’t too sure how to meddle in this matter, but now that Lou Zhenming had bought it up, Cheng Mengying pretended to casually ask about the matter.

“Xiao Chen ah, that kid doesn’t know the difference between heaven and earth! At noon, he invited us to eat lunch and ended up in ordering a lot of abalone and lobster. Then he also made me pay for it thinking that I was a rich handsome guy!” Lou Zhenming naturally did not tell the truth. In his opinion, Cheng Mengying shouldn’t know the truth becase she was sitting so far away.

“Oh….” Of course Cheng Mengying did not believe that Xiao Chen would take the initiative to invite Lou Zhenming out to lunch, but she quietly said: “Oh? Then how will you teach him a lesson?”

“I’m preparing to take him to the gym. What, Mengying, are you interested in taking a look?” Lou Zhenming invited in order to curry favor with her.

“This….then I’ll come take a look….” Cheng Mengying nodded, seemingly excited. She was feeling relieved in her heart! She wanted to go because if Xiao Chen was about to be badly beaten up, she could stand up at the right opportunity to urge Lou Zhenming to stop and consider the matter as finished. She would then say that she was sick at the sight of blood and it would be predicted that Lou Zhenming would give her face.

Cheng Mengying was very clear on Lou Zhenming’s thoughts. Even at First High, when she had Xiao Chen as a fiance, she was still surrounded by pursuers. One of them, for example, was Zhao Yuliang.

“Okay Mengying, I’ll call you in the evening!” Lou Zhenming was feeling joyful in his heart. He was thinking, ‘Cheng Mengying also likes violence? It seems like it is and after thinking about it, it should be. Previously, when she had a fiance, he was a cheating tyrant looking at other girls. Since Cheng Mengying was willing to be engaged with him, then she definitely likes me!’

As for the present engagement break off, Lou Zhenming didn’t think too much about it. That was entirely the family’s behavior. How could these Aristocratic Family juniors have the right to choose who they wanted to be engaged to?

As a result, Lou Zhenming felt that him matching up with Cheng Mengying was very hopeful! Was he not Cheng Mengying’s favorite type of boy?


Chapter 26 – Turns Out You’re A Rich Guy



“Many thanks for QunShao’s reminders, I really appreciate it! Later on when you need to use this little brother, QunShao, just open your mouth!” Lou Zhenming quickly said with gratefulness.

“Well said, well said.” Yue Shaoqun waved and said: “Then you guys continue your meeting, I’ll leave first!”

“QunShao, take your time ah!” Lou Zhenming happily said.

However, Yue Shaoqun, who had turned around, curled his lip.

‘Cheng Mengying? You think she’s so easy to pursue? Not even speaking about Cheng Mengying not agreeing, even if she agreed, Cheng Family wouldn’t even have a liking for your Lou Family!’

However, these words couldn’t be said out loud. Saying them would only make Lou Zhenming unhappy.

‘It would be better to encourage him and letting him think that I am good to him!’

Inside Yue Shaoqun’s heart, he also wanted a piece. But due to having Tang Tang as a fiance, Yue Shaoqun could only endure. Yue Shaoqun, for a long time now, was a little darling before other people, an existence of what word ‘genius’. Therefore, before completely breaking off the engagement, he wouldn’t be able to pursue others.

Yue Family had already spread rumors several times of breaking off an engagement with Tang Tang after Tang Tang had grown into this appearance. If Yue Family asked her to become a daughter-in-law, wouldn’t they become laughingstocks! And Tang Family, naturally was somewhat in the wrong, so Tang’s Master had also tacitly consented in this matter.

Only, Yue Family and Tang Family currently have a cooperation. In order to maintain this cooperation, Yue Shaoqun and Tang Tang got engaged. Even though both families know that this engagement will be broken off sooner or later, it’s a way to maintain relations right now.

Tang Family being indifferent to Tang Tang moving out of the family illustrates this point.

After Yue Shaoqun left, Lou Zhenming was also lost in thought. Cheng Mengying’s identity was Cheng Family’s Young Lady, so in this case his pursuing policy should be adjusted accordingly. Fortunately his pursuing policy didn’t to a disaster.

Xiao Chen returned to the classroom building with a bag of delicacies. Just arriving at the classroom, he actually saw Tang Tang coming from the other direction with a bag of steamed rolls in hand.

“Xiao Chen? Didn’t I tell you not to leave? Why did you run about? Did Lou Zhenming try to stir up trouble with you?” Tang Tang was surprised for a moment upon seeing Xiao Chen, then asked a bit angrily.

“You didn’t eat your fill?” Xiao Chen looked at Tang Tang’s steamed rolls bag and was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Tang Tang went out before! She had only ate one steamed bun and this steamed bun also wasn’t too big, how could it be filling? But he ignored it!

“No….” Tang Tang turned a rare shade of red, saying: “This is our dinner! In the evening there is individual study time. If you don’t eat some stuff prior, you’ll be hungry.”

“Hehe, not eating one’s fill is just not being full. I also didn’t eat my fill. This isn’t what you think it is, it’s surplus of what I didn’t eat that I want to give to you.” Xiao Chen lifted up the bags in his hands and said with a smile towards Tang Tang who was currently glaring.

“Seems like you have a conscience….this is….abalone? Lobster?” After Tang Tang clearly saw what was inside the transparent food containers, she immediately stared with eyeballs almost popping out: “Xiao Chen, you have money? Even if you have some bank savings, it can’t be spent this lavishly right? Do you know how much money this costs? If you eat lavishly now, what will you do later?”

Tang Tang wasn’t happy to see these delicacies and instead exploded with rage. In her opinion, Xiao Chen had just been kicked from his family. It was reckoned that there should be some bank savings in his hand, but what would he do after these bank savings run out?

Moreover, these dishes cost at least 200,000. This money, how many days of not eating breakfast would she be able to gain this much? Tang Tang’s heart was bleeding….

“How would I have the money to buy this?” Upon seeing Tang Tang’s look, Xiao Chen immediately knew that she had misunderstood and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “This is what Lou Zhenming treated with, the remainder that I got to pack to bring back.”

“Lou Zhenming?” Tang Tang was surprised for a moment then became even more surprised: “He treated you to eat something? This can’t be? Xiao Chen, you don’t need to lie! If you want to lie to me, then we can’t be friends! Tell the truth, I won’t blame you. After all, you had lived a privileged life prior to this….”

“He really treated me!” Xiao Chen shrugged and said the situation beforehand to Tang Tang, including Lou Zhenming’s plot to screw him over.

“You’re quite clever to know to find Director Xu!” After Tang Tang listened to Xiao Chen’s words, she actually believed it and nodded, then said: “However, you’re pretty ruthless. Be careful for his retaliation over how much money you made Lou Zhenming spend!”

“What ought to come will always come. If I didn’t fool him at noon, then the person fooled would definitely be me and I wouldn’t be able to hide if I wanted to, so I might as well fool him.” Xiao Chen said somewhat helplessly: “I really don’t know how I even provoked that kid. Why would he eye me?”

“That’s true.” Tang Tang nodded: “I also feel that it’s strange; why would he eye you? But that’s okay. Inside the school, he would dare to blatantly go against you. Next time he asks you to go somewhere, it’s fine not to go. The rest of the time, I’ll help you eye him.”

“Regardless of this, eat before saying more! In a while, it’ll become cold and unappetizing.” Xiao Chen said. He is cultivating true virtue ah and using Tian Lao’s words, ‘cultivating true virtue is a rare flamboyant high-ended occupation’, why would he fear Lou Zhenming?

“Haha, then I’ll take advantage of your offer!” Tang Tang was impolite and took the bags out of Xiao Chen’s hands. Then they entered the classroom together.

Tang Tang placed the abalone and lobster on the desk. Her eyes glowed with a green light, thinking ‘good taste ah!’

Let alone high quality seafood, she hadn’t eaten meat in a long time. Tang Tang couldn’t help but directly grab abalone to satisfy her craving, put it in her mouth, delicious, it’s truly delicious!

While Xiao Chen looked at Tang Tang’s impatient appearance, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into a slight smile. During the time he was in First High, it was Zhu Yingxiong who was very good to him. But now in Second High, it’s Tang Tang. These seafood dishes were actually what Xiao Chen specially packaged in order to take it back, otherwise he would not just eat then pack.

Although Tang Tang was a bit chubby, however, she was ‘genuine’. It made Xiao Chen feel ‘this little girl is really lovable’. At least with her, Xiao Chen could be relaxed and didn’t have to worry about being together with a beautiful girl or any type of that concern.

Having this sort of buddy is great, so Xiao Chen didn’t eat any. Before he was kicked from Xiao Family, what had he not eaten? Up to this day, he isn’t greedy about these kind of things.

However, the fragrance of abalone and lobster had attracted the attention of the male sitting in the front of Tang Tang and Xiao Chen. He turned around and somewhat surprisedly looked at the food on the desk: “Damn monitor Tang, buying this many delicious foods, did you win the lottery ah?”

“Deng Xiaokun, if you want to eat, then eat! Xiao Chen is treating!” Tang Tang had never been a stingy person. This can be seen from her giving her lunch to Xiao Chen without hesitation, therefore, Xiao Chen didn’t prevent this.

“Then I won’t be polite ah!” Deng Xiaokun was clearly familiar with her. He directly broke off a lobster claw to gnaw and said while gnawing: “Xiao Chen, I didn’t think ah, you were a rich guy. Looking at your attire, I was almost fooled by you!”

Of course with Deng Xiaokun, Xiao Chen didn’t say too much. After all, Deng Xiaokun and Xiao Chen weren’t familiar with each other.

Xiao Chen followed along and ate a few bites. Not long after, Lou Zhenming brought back Ma Gangmen and Shou Hou back to the classroom. Seeing the chewing motions of Xiao Chen’s group of three, Lou Zhenming’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger!1

‘****, eat all you want, you’ll be vomiting it out tonight!’

Heavily breathing in, Lou Zhenming quelled his anger. What these three were eating was from his own wallet ah! He didn’t even eat a bite of it ah!

“Delicious, delicious, Xiao Chen, thank you. I didn’t expect the school cafeteria’s abalone to be so delicious!” Deng Xiaokun’s said as he ate with both his mouth and hands full.

This grating sound passed through Lou Zhenming’s ears and made him burn with rage. Suppressing his anger, he sat down at his seat.

Deng Xiaokun didn’t take any note of this, however, Tang Tang saw Lou Zhenming’s expression and at this time believed Xiao Chen’s words. Lou Zhenming’s expression was as if he got screwed over.

The first class in the afternoon was self-study.

Originally, Lou Zhenming wanted to find trouble with Xiao Chen after school ended, but seeing Xiao Chen and the others overeating on the other side, it felt a bit unbearable. Thus, he walked to the front of Xiao Chen and looking at Xiao Chen with a cloudy gaze, saying: “Kid, get outside with me!”

“Outside? What do you want to do?” Of course Xiao Chen knew Lou Zhenming’s purpose. It was due to suffering a loss at noon, so Lou Zhenming wanting to teach him a lesson, but he feigned ignorance.

‘What do I want to do? Of course it’s to beat you up!’

But Lou Zhenming couldn’t say this: “You’re a newcomer, so I want to teach you some ground rules. I treated you to a meal at noon, what could I possibly do? Is it possible that you’re afraid?”

“Then say it, I didn’t transfer over on the first day because I skipped classes and got expelled.” Xiao Chen wasn’t afraid of Lou Zhenming, moreover….how wouldn’t Xiao Chen be clear on how Lou Zhenming wanted to hold him?

“Okay, then we’ll talk after school ends!” Lou Zhenming, upon seeing that Xiao Chen didn’t move, thought Xiao Chen was afraid. He could patiently wait until after school ended. At that time, he’ll have to see if Xiao Chen has any reasons to refuse. After saying that, Lou Zhenming turned around and went back to his own seat.

After Lou Zhenming walked, Deng Xiaokun turned his head and said somewhat doubtfully: “I say, dude, how did you offend Lou Zhenming? Before, wasn’t it Ma Gangmen who forced you to pay money? It was only 10,000, shouldn’t it be a piece of cake for you? Shouldn’t you just use financial power to avoid misfortune?2

In Deng Xiaokun’s opinion, Xiao Chen was a tyrant who wouldn’t blink towards this kind of lobster and abalone, how could he be short of 10,000? Why, in an instant, did Lou Zhenming personally act?

Tang Tang actually glared at Deng Xiaokun’s eyes, saying: “Where would Xiao Chen have the money to buy it? This is what Lou Zhenming bought!”

“Lou Zhenming? Then when he talked about treating Xiao Chen to a meal at noon, it was this?!” Deng Xiaokun was immediately astonished. Just like Tang Tang before, his eyes turned wide open. To him, this matter was inconceivable. Lou Zhenming inviting Xiao Chen to a meal then asking him for trouble?

This was simply unscientific! Unless Lou Zhenming’s brain either had a problem, had water in it, or was simply empty.
