VPnA – The Prequel Volume 2 Chapter 169

Penultimate chapter~

So here’s what I’m going to be doing in regards to the novel:

I’m going to take a break before starting to ‘write the fanfic’, please don’t pester me on Discord about how long the break is going to be, because the only thing I can tell you is that I want start posting the ‘fanfic’ in late January/early February (when I finish my internship) with a bang, then proceed to finish the novel ASAP. For my patrons on Patreon, don’t fret too much, I’ll try to update you guys on the progress at least once a week, and will occasionally throw out chapter previews on Patreon.

Now, ‘writing fanfic’ isn’t going to be the best solution to the problem, but it really is the only thing I can do without dropping the novel (well, technically I could keep translating until I get hit by a DMCA or a threat or something, but I don’t want to have to put up with that). I love the novel as much as any of you, and it being the first CN novel I translated really makes me emotionally attached to it.

Chapter 170 – I’ll Only Give You Five Hundred



On the next day, the three of us arrived at Lu Baoqiang punctually. The person that went with us was an expert from a reputed appraisal center.

“Mr. Lu, this is Mr. Yang, an expert from Yanjing city’s XX Antique Store,” I said to Lu Baoqiang.

“Hello, Mr. Yang!” Lu Baoqiang was someone belonging to the upper class, so he naturally heard of Mr. Yang’s name previously.

“Okay, Mr. Lu, can you take out the fragments for Mr. Yang to appraise it?” I asked.

“Sure, sure! Naturally!” Lu Baoqiang said calmly, showing a completely different expression from the vigilance one the previous day.

Lu Baoqiang took the box out and placed it in front of us. Mr. Yang took out his magnifying glass, and started to carefully examine the fragments.

Meanwhile, Lu Baoqiang acted naturally as if he was completely confident.

On the other hand, Xu Er’s face displayed his nervousness and unease.

“Mr. Yang, how is it?” Lu Baoqiang asked with a smile.

“It’s real! This is a vase used by officials during the Qing Dynasty!” Mr. Yang put down his magnifying glass and said confidently.

“Mr. Yang, are you sure?” I intentionally asked.

“Yes, I’m sure!” Mr. Yang nodded.

“Haha! How is it? I didn’t lie to you guys, right? I told you that there’s no need for the appraisal!” Lu Baoqiang smiled, while his heart bled! That was a vase worth a fortune! But, it is worth it if he could get a flower-like beauty in return!

“Oh, since it’s like this, we should fulfill our end of the promise…” I received the box with the fragments and took a look before turning to Lu Baoqiang. “However, I coincidentally received a video, I wonder if Mr. Yang is interested?”

“Video? What video? What do you mean?” Lu Baoqiang asked in confusion.

“Hehe, this video is naturally related to you, Mr. Lu. Of course, it is also related to this vase! How is it? Mr. Lu, don’t you want to have a look!?” I asked with a smile that wasn’t completely like a smile.

“Heh! What kind of tricks do you want to play? Mr. Yang aready appraised the fragments of the vase, what use is a video?” Lu Baoqiang said in dissatisfaction.

“This video naturally has its use, it might even be the key! Du Xiaowei, bring the notebook over!” I said to Du Xiaowei.

“Okay!” Du Xiaowei answered, then took out a laptop from his backpack and placed it onto the tea table.

“Just what are you guys doing! I’m telling you, my time is very valuable, I have an important meeting to get to later! A single minute is worth several thousand yuan, can you afford to pay that much!” Lu Baoqiang said unhappily.

“Don’t be so anxious. Mr. Lu, you’ll understand after we watch it together, why be in such a hurry?” I said.

“Heh! Since Xu Xueyun is already mine, what use is you doing all this!” Lu Baoqiang snorted.

“Perhaps not, right?” I pressed play and said coldly to Lu Baoqiang.

“What did you say…!?” Lu Baoqiang was completely stunned before he finished!

That was because the person on the screen was him! And the background was this very living room!

In the video, Lu Baoqiang picked up the vase and smashed it onto the floor!

At that moment, Lu Baoqiang’s expression had already turned very dark. He couldn’t believe that what he did actually appeared on the laptop screen in front of him.

“Impossible!” Lu Baoqiang exclaimed. “How did you guys get that? Oh… I know, you guys placed a surveillance camera in my room!”

“Mr. Lu, don’t care about how we got the video for now. Hehe, it seems like you smashed your own vase?” I asked calmly.

“So-So what if I smashed the vase? I just like to smash vases for fun when I have nothing to do. It’s my own vase, I can smash it however I like. So? I like it!” Lu Baoqiang roared out his defense. “What’s more, what proof do you have for saying that the vase I smashed is the fragments you see?”

“Hehe, I knew you would say that. Then, please have a look at the following photos. I got Xiaowei to take photos of the fragments yesterday!” I clicked open a photo album.

“What does this prove!” Lu Baoqiang could feel that something wasn’t quite right.

“Look carefully! The sizes of the fragments in the photo is different from the fragments you showed us today! For example, look at the photo of the fragments of the vase bottom. The crack is in between the characters, but it isn’t cracked there at all with the fragments you brought out today!” I replied.

“You-You guys plotted against me!” Lu Baoqiang stood up and shouted angrily.

“We plotted against you? Are you serious? You smashed the vase yourself and you’re saying we plotted against you?” I laughed coldly. “Say, Lu Baoqiang, how do you want to handle it? Do you want to sue us, or do you want to just let it go?”

“You…” Lu Baoqiang stuttered in anger. However, the other side had proof on hand, so he wouldn’t win in a lawsuit at all. He looked furiously at the laptop screen, then sat down on the sofa weakly. After a while, he finally spoke up. “****, I give up! Brat, I remember you now! You better be careful from now on!”

“Hehe, I’ve always been careful,” I said. “Then we’re off. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, although your vase shattered, Mr. Yang’s antique store is willing to buy it too. You can talk with him about it.”

“Fragments can be sold too? How much is it worth?” Hearing that, Lu Baoqiang immediately asked Mr. Yang. At that moment, he was regretting everything way too much! Why was I such an idiot? Now only did I smash the real vase, I didn’t even get anything. He merely wanted to see how much the fragments can be sold for to hurry up and minimize his losses.

Mr. Yang nodded.

“Then have a look to decide?” Lu Baoqiang asked impatiently.

Mr. Yang thought about it and reached out five fingers.

“Fifty thousand? So little?” Lu Baoqiang said in disappointment.

Mr. Yang shook his head.

“Five thousand? ****, it can’t be! I spent several thousand yuan just to get someone to get the fake vase made!” Ast that moment, Lu Baoqiang no longer cared as he spoke out the truth of the incident.

“Five hundred!” Mr. Yang said. “That’s it!”

“What? Five hundred!?” Lu Baoqiang nearly fell down onto the floor! A vase worth tens of millions instantly turned into something that was only worth five hundred! However, just who was to blame?

When we walked out of Lu Baoqiang’s home, Xu Er laughed like a crazy person the moment he thought of Lu Baoqiang’s look when he realized that he was screwed. Xu Er raised his thumb, “This method was too smart! However, he won’t take revenge on my little sister, right?”

“Just tell your little sister not to work here anymore!” I said. “You can support your little sister’s school fees already, can’t you?”

“Hehe, that’s true! But my little sister is very stubborn, she always wants to support herself!” said Xu Er.

“Oh yeah, the name Xu Xueyun sounds so familiar. Where does your sister study?” I asked.

“Huaxia University!” Xu Er said proudly. After all, Huaxia University was one of the best universities within our country!

Chapter 169 – Smash Another One



“Hehe, this si a treasure!” Seeing that I didn’t speak, Lu Baoqiang added on the side. “Back then, I wanted to spend five hundred thousand to get this chick Xu Xueyun, but she refused. It’s great now, this happened. This is all destined!”

Xu Xueyun? Why does this name sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere. It was only at that point that I found out Xu Er’s little sister was called Xu Xueyun. Previously, Xu Er had only been referring to her as his little sister, and I didn’t ask what she was called.

Hearing Lu Baoqiang’s words, I suddenly had an idea. Heh, I was originally just planning to expose his ploy, but at that moment, I decided to make him lose the bait along with the fish!

I pretended like I didn’t understand anything, “Oh, it seems to have Qing Dynasty or something written on it. It truly is something from ancient times!” Then, I casually handed the box to Du Xiaowei.

Hearing my words, Xu Er’s expression instantly turned for the wrose.

“Yeah, are you guys going to compensate me with money or make Xu Xueyun be my mistress? If I get happy, I might give her several hundred thousand!” Lu Baoqiang said shamelessly.

I ignored it and smiled, “Since it’s like that, we definitely won’t; be able to compensate!”

Hearing my words, Lu Baoqiang revealed a happy expression, “Then you guys are agreeing to my terms?”

“Yes, but we can’t just accept it like this! You said that this vase is worth five hundred thousand, but there is no proof, so we don’t really believe it!” I immediately changed my tone.

“Then what do you want?” Lu Baoqiang’s mind was full of Xu Xueyun’s great body as he asked in a hurry.

“How about this? We’ll take the fragments away and get a professional to appraise it. If it really is worth five hundred thousand, then we’ll go as you say. If it’s not, then wouldn’t we be at a loss?” I said.

“Appraise for what? Just ask around, a vase used by government officials in the Qing Dynasty is definitely worth this much! Five hundred thousand is on the low side, a vase from the Qing Dynasty can be worth several hundred thousand!” Lu Baoqiang replied.

“That’s no good, we don’t understand anything, we aren’t comfortable with it unless we get it appraise!” I said. Actually, I naturally knew that Lu Baoqiang was right! If this was truly something government officials used then, five hundred thousand was truly low. If it was auctioned, then its possible for it to be sold for several million! Or even several tens of millions! However, this vase was fake.

“Ugh…” Lu Baoqiang did not expect that I would say that! Just moments earlier, he was getting beyond happy for getting Xu XUeyun, and now it seemed like things were not going to go that successfully! For him, it seemed like the person in front of him was very troublesome! However, he wasn’t willing to just let Xu Xueyun go like that. The moment he thought of her, his sinful lower body started to react. He forcefully calmed himself down and thought about it. “It’s like this, I already promised to sell this vase to a business partner. I told him that the vase broke yesterday, but he didn’t believe me. He thought that it was just a random excuse I found to not sell it to him, and is coming here tonight to see for himself! How about this, come and get the fragments for appraisal tomorrow!”

**** yeah, this was what I was waiting for! Hehe, how could I not agree?

“Sure, then we’ll come over tomorrow! Since its like that, then we’ll take our leave!” I looked at Du Xiaowei.

Du Xiaowei returned my look with a signal that said that everything was done, while he returned the fragments to Lu Baoqiang.

The moment we walked out of the door, Xu Er pulled my hand and asked me anxiously, “Director Liu, what did you mean by what you said just now… You mean that my little sister has to be his mistress? Is Director Ding unwilling to lend me the money?”

As I looked at Xu Er, who fired questions at me like a machinegun, I patted his shoulders and smiled, “Don’t worry! That isn’t the case at all! I’m going to make that Lu Baoqiang lose the fish along with the bait!”

“Lose the fish along with the bait?” Xu Er asked in confusion.

“Yeah! From his tone and expression, Lu Baoqiang is already crazy obsessed with your little sister! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have planned and caused his vase incident! Since Lu Baoqiang is willing to pay five hundred thousand to get your little sister, that means he is determined to get her,” I continued. “We can use this and screw him over!”

“Use it? Use it how? How are we supposed to screw him over?” Xu Er asked in confusion.

“Hehe, it’s actually like this. I got Du Xiaowei too… Like this…” I explained.

“What? Is that going to work? Would Lu Baoqiang do something so crazy?” Xu Er asked in disbelief.

“Hehe, definitely! His lust is probably overcoming his reason now!” I smiled.

At the same time, in Lu Baoqiang’s home.

Lu Baoqiang paced around the room hesitantly. He did not expect Xu Er to find a person like that. It seems like everything was going to be a bit difficult! Although it was not going to go as smoothly as he had hoped, it wasn’t an impossible matter.

Lu Baoqiang walked to his shelf and opened the glass door to take out a box from the very bottom level. He opened the box’s lock with a key. Within the key laid a clay vase. As he looked at it, he felt a bit of reluctance and hesitance.

However, in the very end, Lu Baoqiang still took out the vase, clench his teeth, and raised it over his head. He felt like he had already started to sweat, while his hands also trembled! This vase was something truly from the Qing Dynasty. It was worth far more than five hundred thousand. Back then, he had bought it for three million, and now it was worth more than ten million!

Even though ten million wasn’t a lot for Lu Baoqiang, it wasn’t a small amount either. It was the annual income for his company. At that very moment, Xu Xueyun’s sexy body surfaced in Lu Baoqiang’s mind again. That sexy *** and the voluptuous body…

Every single time Xu Xueyun came over to do housework, Lu Baoqiang would always stand behind her to fantasize as he looks at her ***. Every single time she leaves, Lu Baoqiang would rush to the bathroom to deal with his issue. It wasn’t that Lu Baoqiang had never seen any women before, but no matter how pretty those women were, they were merely low quality prostitutes without any taste. It wasn’t easy to find a beautiful and pure university like Xu Xueyun at all. Lu Baoqiang was able to find a bit of satisfaction every single time he fantasized about Xu Xueyun, so he truly wanted to gain Xu Xueyun for real!

Thinking that, Lu Baoqiang finally decided. He let his hands loose and allowed the vase to flow down onto the flow in a “pa” sound, instantly shattering into smithereens.

As he looked at the floor full of fragments, Lu Baoqiang smiled in a truly lecherous manner…

Lu Baoqiang poured the original fragments into the rubbish bin, then placed the fragments on the floor into the box and returned it to the book shelf.

After doing all that, Lu Baoqiang sat back onto the sofa in satisfaction, closed his eyes and started to fantasize…

12 Chocolate is Delicious



The new bed and futon were too comfortable so she ended up sleeping for three days in a row again.
If it wasn’t for Punigami waking her up, she might have slept forever.

「Uh, un…..good morning Punigami……did they complete the village already? 」

「Punipuni」

Apparently, it was still being built.
Well, this isn’t something that can be completed in just three days.
After all, it’s not a kennel.

「Since I woke up, might as well sightsee. Punigami, if you please」

「Puni」

Iris, as always, sat on top of Punigami.
A hugging pillow, a bath, and a transport, truly a hardworking slime.

Such Punigami adorably proceeded outside the church.

「Ah, everyone is making something」

Looking from the top of the hill, as Sheryl said, there were around fifty people working,
They cut the forest to make houses and made an enclosed space for the cattle.
And while the houses were being made, they lived in the tents.

「I see. Since they have the forest, there is no need for them to bring materials from outside. They have it easy」

「Puni」

As iris and Punigami were engrossed admiration, Sheryl climbed the hill.

「Iris-sama, Punigami-sama! Good morning! 」

「Good morning, Sheryl. It looks like it’s about time for lunch, why morning? 」

「Eh. But isn’t Iris-sama just woke up? 」

「…..You are spot on, I can’t even retort」

「I’ve seen through Iris-sama. And here are the promised sweets…..ta-dan, hard chocolate! 」

Sheryl pulled out a wrapped plank-like object out of her basket.
And when she unwrapped it, multiple brown planks came out.

「It’s a board」

「Tsk, tsk, tsk. Naive, Iris-sama. As sweet as this plank of chocolate. [1] This thing is a boom in the capital right now. You won’t regret it. If you think it’s a lie then just try it! 」

Said Sheryl as she broke the plank in half and presented it.

「Really?」

She did accept it but her mind was filled with doubts.
However, there was no way Sheryl would feed her poison so she decided to try it.
Let’s start with a small bite.

「…….Sweet! 」

「Right?! Although chocolate was bitter until a while ago, a version with a lot of sugar in it appeared and created a big boom! People are noisy about getting fat from it! Absolutely irresistible taste for something like the chocolate! 」

Sheryl chomped the chocolate as she explained.
Iris didn’t want to fall behind and ate too.
It disappeared in a blink of an eye.

「Puni!」

「Ah, sorry…….Punigami wanted to eat some too………」

「Punipuni!」

Punigami was quite angry.
As Iris wondered what she should do, Sheryl fearlessly laughed and thrust her hand in the basket.

「I-It can’t be!」

「Yes…….I thought it could end up like this so I bought one more! 」

「Yay!」

「Punni!」

The second chocolate bar was split into three equal parts.

「Are? How does Punigami-sama eat in the first place? 」

「Just stuff it into his body wherever」

「……Stuff it, is it? 」

「Yes. With a plop」

Iris received a third of the chocolate bar and thrust it inside Punigami together with her own hand.

「Uwaa, grotesque! Iris-sama, such a disgusting act! 」

Sheryl let out a rude scream.

「It’s not grotesque! It’s not disgusting! It’s cool and pleasant! It’s okay because he is a slime! 」

「Really?」

「If you think I’m lying you should do the same too」

「Ha…..then if only for a little」

Sheryl, giving off a feeling of fright, touched Punigami with her fingertip.

「Waa, so cool! And springy! 」

Sheryl thrust her hand until the elbow in one go.

「Puni」

「Ah, Punigami-sama’s body is wrapped around my hand……..ah, what, what is it…….s-so comfortable…….it’s coming out, it’s coming out」

「Amazing, right? Punigami can remove the dirt from your skin」

「It’s beyond amazing. With his help, you don’t need to bath! Here, please look. One of my arms became all shiny! 」

Sheryl pulled her hand out of Punigami, rolled up her sleeve and displayed it.
Her hand shined as it reflected the sunlight.

「C-Could it be that Iris-sama has such beautiful skin because of Punigami-sama’s help………?」

「Well, that might not be unrelated……..」

「Unfair! I also want to receive the full body care from Punigami-sama! 」

「If Punigami doesn’t mind then why not?」

「Punigami-sama! Please! 」

Sheryl desperately lowered her head.

「Punipuni」

「Since you gave him some chocolate he is okay with it」

「I did it, thank you very much!」

Sheryl hopped around in pure joy.
Even though she had an expensive silk dress, she didn’t look noble at all.
Will she be all right being the Lord, worried Iris.
Well, she should do better than doing some weird assignments.
Iris ate her own piece of chocolate as she thought about that.
Sheryl did so too.

Eventually, Punigami finished digesting his piece. Then….changed his color.

He was a beautiful blue color until a little while ago.
And now he turned into the same color as that of the chocolate.

「Sheryl. T-This is……」

「Yes…..just like……..dirt go away! 」

「Puni?」

「Hey, Sheryl. Punigami is asking whether he should get rid of it. Immediately strip, dive inside Punigami and have your whole body washed! 」

「No, I mean, I’m grateful but…..I’ll do it once Punigami-sama’s color returns to normal! Farewell! 」

Sheryl twirled her skirt and run down the hill at maximum speed.

「Puniii!」

What a rude fellow, said Punigami in anger.
However, there was no other option.
The thought of entrusting your body to a slime of such a color was rather unpleasant.

「Punipuni」

「Eh, washing me instead? Noo, maybe some other time……」

「Puni!」

「Wa, you can’t, Punigami……I-I’m being washed, I’m being washed, I’m being washed together with my clothes」

Chapter 168 – Vase Incident



Du Xiaowei intentionally slowed down. When we passed by the upstart, he deliberately coughed a few times, causing that upstart to clench his teeth in anger and cursed, “**** you!”

“Who are you cursing?” The traffic police immediately got mad when he heard the upstart curse. He has dealt with so many drivers that violated regulations, every single one of them smiled guiltily. This guy actually dared to curse! Just moments ago, the guy was speaking softly, and the moment he turned around, the guy completely changed attitude. Although the person cursed softly, he still heard everything clearly. He had wanted to let the person go once, but now, he immediately changed his mind and decided to punish him with the heaviest punishment.

“I…” The upstart wanted to explain, but noticed that the Santana 2000 was already long gone.

“Take out your driving license!” The traffic police said angrily.

I sent Xia Jing back to my mansion first. Zhao Yanyan and Xia Jing were old friends, while the other girls knew about the purpose of my trip to the US earlier, so they were extra-intimate towards Xia Jing.

I got Xia Jing to stay in the mansion for a few days, then said that I would visit her parents with her.

Then, Xu Er and I went to the study, while he told me about his sister’s situation.

Xu Er’s little sister used money very carefully while studying in Yanjing city, and she acted as a hourly maid at a rich person’s home. The male employer often makes advances on her when the female employer wasn’t home, but after she refused, the guy did become more honest. However, he still continued to harass her verbally, and after raises some unacceptable requests, including wanting to take Xu Er’s little sister as a mistress.

Although Xu Er’s little sister was disgusted by his actions, due to the high wage, she merely endured it and continued to work. However, a recent accident changed all this.

While Xu Er’s little sister was wiping the cabinet, she accidentally pushed one of the vase onto the floor. Actually, after the incident, when Xu Er’s little sister recalled the situation, she noticed that the vase was put in a very illogical position, and it would be pushed down if she was just slightly careless. However, since it had already happened, thinking about that was no use. Thus, Xu Er’s little sister wanted to compensate him with money. Yet, the guy pointed at a small stamp at the bottom of the vase and said that the vase was from a government official in the Ming Dynasty, making it worth a fortune. It was at least worth five hundred thousand!

Xu Er’s little sister immediately freaked out after hearing that. Since her birth, the most money she had seen was several thousand yuan, and that was the school fees she brought with her. Five hundred thousand was an astronomical number for her, a number that she would never be able to earn in her entire life.

At that moment, the guy changed his tone and said that as long as she follows him and be his mistress for ten years, that would payout the five hundred thousand. That caused Xu Er’s little sister to cry in fear, so she ran out to call Xu Er. Then, after Xu Er arrived in Yanjing city to talk with the male employer, they were unable to get to any sort of result after a long time. The male employer just stubbornly said that the vase was worth five hundred thousand, and the only two solutions were either for Xu Er’s little sister to be his mistress or for them to compensate him with money.

The male employer was a local and the director of a company, so he had both money and influence. There was nothing Xu Er could do at all. Xu Er was foreign to Yanjing city and didn’t know anyone here. Thinking that they might not even win if they go to court, he could only call me in his helplessness. He didn’t dare to tell Ding Baosan directly, and since he knew that I was on good terms with Ding Baosan, he wanted me to help him ask to see if it was possible to get his salary beforehand. That was how the situation where he called me occurred.

“Did you managed to get hold of the vase fragment?” I asked a rather important question. This sort of situation was common later on. Many people placed some fake antiques at home and intentionally got their maids or babysitters to break them in order to extort money from them. Actually, those antiques were just forgeries. Although I wasn’t sure that the guy also used a forgery, but just because he seemed to have planned it, he definitely did not have any good intentions, so whether the vase was real or not became of utmost importance.

“No, the person didn’t give it to me,” said Xu Er.

“You should have asked for the fragment, then got it appraised,” I said.

“Appraised? Why… Oh! I understand, you’re saying that the vase might be forged?” Xu Er instantly understood.

“Yes!” I nodded.

“But that’s not possible, right? He’s a rich person, why would he put a fake vase in his home?” Xu Er said in confusion.

“Why?” I shook my head. “It’s because of your little sister!” It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t understand. This wasn’t a common occurrence in 1999, but even children knew about this several years later.

“Now that you said it, that really does seem like the case! Thinking about it, if he clearly knows that the vase would break, then why would he use a real one! A fake one can work the same!” Xu Er nodded.

“Precisely! That’s why the fragment of the vase is the key to the issue!” I sad.

“Okay, then I’ll go and ask for the fragments now!” said Xu Er.

“I’ll go with you, you are too honest, and don’t know the evilness of people!” I said. “I’m worried that he would make it difficult for you!”

Du Xiaowei drove the three of us to the place that Xu Er talked about.

Xu Er was right, this person was a rich person. The compound he was living in was a very high-class one. All the apartments inside were duplexes. What’s more, I already knew beforehand that the person in question was called Lv Baoqiang.

Lv Baoqiang opened the door and was surprised to see three people. He didn’t expect that Xu Er, a non-local, would find two helpers. However, he didn’t think much of it, he didn’t believe that this sort of certain thing would change anything.

“Xu Er, did you come to bring me the money or are you prepared to agree to my terms? My patience is limited!” said Lv Baoqiang.

“Mr. Lv, we came here this time to discuss about it with you!” I spoke up first.

“Who are you? Are your words of any use?” Lv Baoqiang looked at me and asked.

“I am the person Xu Er called over to deal with this. What I say represents what Xu Er says,” I replied.

“Is that the case?” Lv Baoqiang looked at Xu Er.

Xu Er nodded.

Only then did Lv Baoqiang said unhappily to me, “Then let’s discuss about what should be done!”

“Alright, you said that Xu Er’s little sister broke a vase, where’s the vase?” I asked directly.

“Vase? What are you asking about that for!” Lv Baoqiang looked at me vigilantly.

“You said that she broke a vase from the Ming Dynasty, I haven’t even seen the vase, so why should I believe you?” I asked.

“Alright! Then I’ll show you!” Lv Baoqiang turned around and went into the study, then took out a box, which he handed to me.

I opened to take a look. It was the fragments of a clay vase. Due to my work, I would often accompany my clients to antique auctions, so I did have some appraisal ability. Although I wasn’t a professional, I was certain that the fragments in front of me wasn’t something from the Ming Dynasty, which he claimed. This sort of low quality trash wasn’t any different from the clay stuff that sold for two yuan by the streets!

Chapter 167 – Pursuer



“Mhmm, he always use the excuse of guidance to get close to me, but fortunately, he didn’t really get anything!” Su Yingzi said slightly proudly.

“It’s no good even if he didn’t get to take advantage of you. Which company is the movie from?” I remember Su Yingzi should have a contract with Chen Zelong!

“It’s not the company’s, it’s a memorable historical movie that City N’s city channel is shooting called “A Dream Back to the Ming Dynasty”, the press has talked about it,” said Su Yingzi.

I nodded, I did hear about such a film. It was directed by the famous director in the country, Deng Daqiang. And that bearded guy seems to be that Deng Daqiang! This guy wasn’t anything good, he often uses the time of selecting new actors to do other deals. He was nearing 50, yet he often sleeps with seventeen or eighteen years old girls. However, this guy was way too brave, he actually dared to harass my woman!

“Ignore him. If he harasses you again, then call me,” I said.

“He doesn’t dare to do anything right now, no matter what, I’m still a famous celebrity, so he only dares to take advantage of me in words, and doesn’t dare to actually do anything,” said Su Yingzi.

“Being careful is better. You never know what he’s thinking, god knows when his primal instincts would suddenly take over,” I said.

Very soon, it was time for Su Yingzi to board. On the other hand, Xia Jing and I had to wait for another half an hour. After we said our farewells to Su Yingzi, Xia Jing asked me about some of Su Yingzi and my history, which I told her. When she heard that Su Yingzi had to marry Li Xiangdong, she couldn’t help but think about her situation, instantly feeling like they’re linked by the same problem, causing her to feel even closer to Su Yingzi.

As for me, I never would have thought that my one meeting with Su Yingzi actually caused a huge commotion. Of course, this is another story.

When we got to Yanjing city’s airport, Xu Er was already there waiting for us. Xu Er did not have a car in Yanjing city, but fortunately, I had called Du Xiaowei beforehand, so he was already waiting for me at the airport.

When Xu Er saw the Santana 2000, he couldn’t help but be surprised. He never thought that someone as rich as me would actually sit in such a common car.

“What? You got used to driving a Mercedes, and think that Santana is not enough?” I chuckled.

“Ugh…” Xu Er could only reply. “How could I? I was just think, Director Liu, you’re so… Oh, is it because you don’t want to be too braggy?”

“Hehe… Kind of,” I didn’t find it easy to explain either. Du Xiaowei had just randomly bought it.

“But don’t underestimate this Santana 2000, this car has been altered, and is using the newest engine developed by East Asia Motion, the a03, so the speed and manipulability is not bad at all,” Du Xiaowei explain.

Xu Er sat in the front, while Xia Jing and I sat in the backseat.

Just as Du Xiaowei was about to start the engine and back out of the parking spoke, a Honda Accord parked diagonally at the side, causing him to unable to get out at all.

“Beep beep!” Du Xiaowei pressed down on the car horn, but the Honda did not bulge, as if the driver was deaf.

Since there was no other choice, Du Xiaowei jumped off the car and knocked on the Honda Accord’s window. Before Du Xiaowei said anything, the door opened, and a man jumped out. He pointed at Du Xiaowei and cursed, “**** your mom, the **** you knocking for!? What if you break it? Can you afford to compensate us!?”

“Please back the car out a bit, we have to go out,” Du Xiaowei frowned as he looked at the vulgar upstart.

“If you’re going out, then go. How the **** is it my business! It’s your fault that your car is ******!” The upstart shook his head.

“Even a Mercedes, a BMW or a Chrysler can’t get out when you’re parked here!” Du Xiaowei felt rather angry.

At that moment, Xu Er also got off the car and walked over. When the upstart saw Xu Er’s muscles, he couldn’t help a bit scared. Since he thought that Xu Er was a fighter, he went back to his car bitterly, “I’ll leave immediately.”

“Wow, Xu Er, Xiao Wei couldn’t deal with it, but you didn’t say anything and the guy was already scared back to his car,” I joked.

“That’s because Xu-dage looks like a mob boss!” Xia Jing also laughed.

At that moment, Yanjing city wasn’t very hot, and the temperature was just right when we opened the windows. The upstart driving the Honda Accord glanced at the people inside the Santana 2000 and noticed Xia Jing. That caused him to be immediately shocked and felt displeased. He thought to himself “****, I drive such a nice car, but I’ve never met such a pretty girl, yet the guy sitting in the Santana 2000 got such a beautiful one.”

The more the upstart thought about it, the angry he got. People say that alcohol makes people braver, but the same could be said for lust. Although the upstart knew that he couldn’t do anything about the girl, he could still cockily let out his displeasure.

After Du Xiaowei drove the car out, the upstart also immediately followed.

“Director Liu, the Honda Accord is following us,” said Xu Er.

“Ignore it,” I didn’t mind that much.

I never would have thought that the Honda Accord actually accelerated to get in front of us and cockily beeped us with his car horn. That shocked Du Xiaowei, causing him to quickly step on the brakes.

Then, the Honda Accord surpassed us and left with a cocky laugh.

“What do we do?” Du Xiaowei’s face was green in anger. He was already mad enough when he got off to argue, but he resisted back then, yet, at this very moment, he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Do whatever you want to do,” I know Du Xiaowei wouldn’t be content with not letting out his anger.

“Okay, Director Liu, you guys should hang on,” Du Xiaowei shifted gears and stepped down on the pedal, causing the Santana 2000 to fly out.

The upstart, who was driving the Honda Accord, smiled proudly and excitedly as he listened to the radio, then suddenly saw the Santana 2000 appear behind him once again. What’s more, it was speeding towards him with an incomparable speed. Furthermore, it seemed like it was going to over take him.

How could my Honda Accord not match up to his Santana 2000! The upstart was a bit speechless, thus, he stepped down on the pedal, causing his car to shoot out like a rocket.

However, Du Xiaowei did not show any weakness and remained hot on the Honda Accord’s tail. Then, Du Xiaowei shifted gears, causing the Santana 2000 to overtake the Honda Accord in an instant.

The upstart pressed down on the pedal with all his might until blisters were about to pop out on his feet. However, he just couldn’t catch up to the Santana 2000.

“Beep beep,” A warning came from the Santana.

“The police is running speed tests one kilometer in front,” Du Xiaowei looked at the warning machine and said, so he immediately decelerated the car.

However, when the upstart saw the Santana 2000 decelerate, he thought that Du Xiaowei was screwed, so he quickly pressed down hard on the pedal again, then quickly over took us.

“******,” Du Xiaowei swore, then lowered the gears down by a notch once again.

As we expected, not long later, we saw two police in front holding cameras and speedometers, while the Honda Accord was parked at the side of the road with the upstart accepting the investigation in depression.

Chapter 166 – Meeting at the Airport



“Hehe, it was because we didn’t book the tickets in advance. When we went to buy the tickets, only first class was left,” I smiled.

Xia Jing wanted to say something, but a small commotion occurred at the entrance of the VIp lounge. A young woman wearing a small yellow jackets and sunglasses entered the VIP longue under the protection of two black-shirted people. Meanwhile, the ones causing the commotion were blocked outside the longue by the airport employees.

“Hmm? This person is so familiar,” Xia Jin looked over at the young woman.

I couldn’t help but smile wryly, she wasn’t just familiar! This person was one of my secret girlfriends – Su Yingzi.

At this moment, there weren’t many people in the VIP Longue. Aside from Xia Jing and I, only a few foreigners and old people were left. That was why Xia Jing and I were rather eye-catchy within the room. Su Yingzi clearly saw us as well, as she happily waved towards me.

Seeing Su Yingzi wave towards us, Xia Jing said in a bit of confusion, “Dagege, do you know her?”

After arriving in the VIP Longue, Su Yingzi no longer held herself back as much as when she was outside. She took off her sunglasses with a smile, and directly walked over to sit in the seat beside me.

“You’re Su Yingzi!” Xia Jing exclaimed. For girls her age, the teenage star, Su Yingzi, had a pretty big impact on her.

Su Yingzi nodded with a smile, “Hello, I’m Liu Lei’s… friend.” However, her tone was clearly a bit jealous. Su Yingzi didn’t feel good in her heart when she saw her boyfriend sit with other women.

“Ah! Dagege, you actually know superstar Su Yingzi!?” Xia Jing exclaimed. “Su-jiejie, can I call you that…”

“Of course,” Su Yingzi smiled. Although Su Yingzi was a bit envious, but this girl was clearly leaning on Liu Lei, so that meant that they were very close, so the girl calling her jiejie wasn’t wrong.”

“That’s great!” Xia Jing clapped happily. “Can I have a photo with you?”

Su Yingzi nodded, and asked for a digital camera from her bodyguards. I couldn’t help but find it funny when I saw the Shuguang and Su’s logo on the camera. It seems like Su Yingzi truly supports her family’s business! Even the camera she is using is the product of her hubby and dad’s company.

“What are you laughing at?” Su Yingzi was already slightly displease. Despite acting calmly towards Xia Jing, she let out all her anger on me after seeing me smile like an idiot.

I pointed at the logos on the camera.

“What’s funny about that!?” Su Yingzi glared at me. “Are you saying that Su’s isn’t as famous as Shuguang?”

“I didn’t mean that…” It seemed like Su Yingzi still didn’t know that Shuguang Corporation was something of our family as well. She seemed rather displayed after products of her family’s factories sticking on another company’s logo.

Xia Jing looked at Su Yingzi and I in confusion, “Dagege, Su-jiejie doesn’t seem very friendly towards you?”

Su Yingzi smiled after hearing that. However, she thought to herself in her heart, I’m unfriendly towards you. If you weren’t here, god knows how friendly I would be with him! Yet, she still spoke up, “C’mon, let’s take a photo.”

Xia Jing only felt satisfied after happily taking many photos with Su Yingzi. After that, she looked over them on the digital camera over and over again.

“Wow! Now my classmates are going to be so jealous of me. They show off all the time with Su-jiejie’s autograph, let’s see what they’re going to say now!” Xia Jing said excitedly. “Hmm? Who is this man? Is this Su-jiejie’s boyfriend?”

Xia Jing pointed to the camera screen.

“Ah!” Su Yingzi took over the digital camera to have a look, then tried frantically to turn it off.

However, I already saw the photo. A large-bearded man was dipping his head and saying something to Su Yingzi. The two sat very closely with each other, and the mouth of the guy with a large beard was pretty much touching Su Yingzi’s face.

My expression immediately darkened.

Su Yingzi felt rather frantic when she saw me turn angry.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere between us turned rather intricate.

Xia Jing looked at the two of us in confusion, “Dagege, what happened?”

“Nothing,” I smiled. I thought about it and immediately understood. From the angle the photo was taken at, it was clear that someone had snapped the picture in secret. That’s why Su Yingzi probably didn’t know beforehand. From Su Yingzi’s slightly frowning expression, I could also tell that she didn’t have much feeling for the bearded guy.

However, Su Yingzi did not think so. When she saw that I suddenly smiled, she got even more frantic as she thought that I laughed because I was angry. Thus, she explained in a hurry, “There’s nothing between him and I, seriously, I…”

It was fine when Su Yingzi didn’t explain it. However, Xia Jing merely got more confused by the explanation, “Su-jiejie, what are you saying? You and dagege…”

“I… Ah… Actually…” Su Yingzi didn’t want Xia Jing to know our relationship, but her explanation had instead exposed it.

“Alright, Xiao Zi, it’s fine if you tell her,” I said as I looked at the blushing Su Yingzi, and found it rather funny.

Xia Jing was no idiot. When she heard that I called Su Yingzi “Xiao Zi”, then linked it with Su Yingzi’s earlier expression and tone, she instantly understood. However, Xia Jing was not a woman that liked to fight over things, she also knew that I had a lot of women aside from her. What’s more, since she has finally gotten with me, she naturally treasured our relationship. That’s why, she didn’t get rather annoyed, and instead said naturally, “It seems like I really wasn’t wrong when I called you Su-jiejie just now!”

Seeing that the other person didn’t display any hostility, Su Yingzi didn’t find it wrong to get jealous anymore. What’s more, she had no time to get jealous when she didn’t explain the photo in the camera properly!

Thus, she replied openly, “Yeah, Xia Jing-meimei.”

“Hehe, Xia Jing, now your classmates can’t compete with you anymore. You guys might even have to sleep on the same bed in the future!” I teased.

“What are you saying, dagege, it’s too embarrassing!” Xia Jing said embarrassedly.

“That photo…” Seeing that my mood improved by a lot, Su Yingzi decided to carefully raise the topic again.

“Oh, I already saw it. What does that beard guy do? Is he your pursuer?” I asked.

“He’s the director of this movie I’m in… He’s not really a pursuer, he’s like that with all actress. I don’t know which employee snapped the photo, I haven’t seen it before,” Su Yingzi explained.

“He, I knew it! How could our family’s cute Xiao Zi fall for the beard? Wouldn’t she get prickled to death by it when kissing!?” I laughed.

“You’re terrible!” Su Yingzi said coquettishly. Su Yingzi had always been a good actress. At that moment, her voice was sexier than normal women, so even someone that had as much experience as me couldn’t help but feel my heart waver.

Meanwhile, Xia Jing silently thought about what she was lacking in preparation to surpass the older sister in front of her in the future.

“Then he harassed you?” I asked.

Chapter 165 – Xu Er’s Little Sister



“Judging from your ages, you guys should be still in school, right?” I asked.

“We… were expelled,” said the three brats. “What’s more, we don’t want to go to school either, it’s pointless.”

“Going to school is to learn stuff, how can you say that it’s useless!” Although I accept the logic of “all roads lead to Rome” and “masters come from all industries”, it was still too early to enter the society for them. They might very well just waste their lives away.”

“What use is being good at studying, you can still get expelled!” Wang Wei pointed to Zhang Yuliang and said. “He was originally one of the top ten students in our class!”

“Top ten!” I was a bit confused. “Why did someone in the top ten get expelled?”

“Our results weren’t that bad either, it’s just that the three of us beat up the dean’s son…” said Wang Wei.

“You beat up the dean’s son? What did you beat him up for?” I asked. However, I already made a judgement in my heart. This dean’s son must be that sort of cocky person in school. I was once their age, and Liu Kesheng was a typical example of someone like that.

“He harassed Yu Feichao’s girlfriend, since we’re good bros with Yu Feichao, Zhang Yuliang and I beat him up in anger. We had just wanted to scare him, but he actually told his dad what happened, causing the situation to escalate… The three of us all come from single-parent families, our parents don’t want us anymore, and since the dean saw that we didn’t have any backing, he expelled the three of us,” said Wang Wei.

I looked at Yu Feichao. The brat was kind of handsome, he was similar to what I was like when I was younger. “You already have a girlfriend at such a young age…” The moment I said that, I felt a bit speechless. Once upon a time, when I was their age, I already had two girlfriends, Zhao Yanyan and Chen Weier. When I looked at them, it was as if I saw an image of my past.

If I didn’t know Uncle Zhao back then and didn’t have any superpowers, I might have been bullied like them, right? If I didn’t have any background, Liu Kesheng might very well have gotten me expelled.

Yu Feichao smiled embarrassedly, “We’re childhood friends… But, I feel too embarrassed to go and find her now.”

“If you guys can go back to school, are you guys still willing to return?” I asked. Actually, I just wanted to see if the three of them were truly helpless. If they gave up on themselves, then there was no helping it, I’ll just get Ding Baosan to find somewhere for them to be subordinates at.

The three of them looked at each other, then finally nodded.

“But can we return?” I could tell that Yu Feichao wanted to return to school the most. He was probably still thinking about his little girlfriend.

“Of course, I smiled with a nod. “Since you guys want to go back to study, I can organize it for you guys. However, don’t think about these sort of this in the society after going back to school. These aren’t stuff that you guys should think about. Study properly, and you guys can work at Sanhouzi’s company. Look, although he’s part of the underworld, he’s developing in a legal direction, so you guys shouldn’t have the thoughts of getting famous at the bottom of society!”

“How about this, since your parents don’t want you guys anymore, then follow Sanhouzi. Get him to find a place for you guys to stay and look over your studies!” I said.

“San-ye…” The three brats were still a bit scared of Ding Baosan.

“What San-ye! Just call him San-ge!” I said. After all, Ding Baosan wasn’t much older than them.

After I handed them to Ding Baosan, I called Ye-bobo, who was also Ye Xiaoxiao’s father to easily deal with the matter. No matter how amazing that dean was, he wouldn’t dare to go against the Department of Education. Now that the dean knew that Yu Feichao and co. got a huge backing, he calmed down a little, while his son also stopped daring to do anything after seeing Yu Feichao and co. travel to and from school with bodyguards and cars like a young master of the underworld.

After dealing with it all, I also went back to Yanjing to go to school. I had promised Ding Wenfeng to join his something martial arts society. However, I didn’t even participate in a single even in the end. That’s why, he had called and told me that there was an international martial arts competition at the end of the year, so he wanted to discuss it with me. When I asked him why he wanted to discuss it with me, Ding Wenfeng smiled wryly and told me that I was the only member in the society outside of him, who was the president!

Right before I left, Ding Baosan drove me to the airport in person. During that, I talked to Ding Baosan about Xu Er’s matters. This caused Ding Baosan to worry and complain about how Xu Er didn’t tell him when something arose, so he couldn’t help at all.

Just as we were talking about Xu Er’s matters, my phone rang. It was actually a call from Xu Er.

“Director Liu, I’m Xu Er,” said Xu Er.

“Xu-dage, how is the things on your side?” I asked.

“Director Liu, I caused you to worry…” Xu Er said hesitantly.

“Xu Er, are you in some sort of trouble? Whatever it is, just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely do my best,” I could tell that Xu Er had something else to say.

“… I just want to ask you to speak with Director Ding about whether it is possible to pay me my salary in advance…” Xu Er replied after a brief pause.

“Salary? You’re lacking money?” I asked.

“Mm… My little sis got into some trouble. The other person wants me to compensate them for five hundred thousand yuan…” Xu Er said depressedly.

“Five hundred thousand? Why are they asking you to compensate for so much? Just what is going on? Tell me in detail!” I said.

Xu Er didn’t make anything clear on the phone. However, when I asked him where he was, he told me that he was in Yanjing city. Thus, I told him to wait there for me, since I would be able to see him about three hours later.

As for little beauty Xia, I got her to return to Yanjing city with me. After all, her family will definitely worry after she has left for so long. I didn’t want my relationship with those in-laws to be too tense. What’s more, I didn’t need to worry about them marrying Xia Jing to Lei Xiaolong. Recently, the Lei family’s business was not going well in the US. Many large companies did not welcome Lei’s Corporation and even cut communications with them.

Since the quickest flight wasn’t a direct flight so we needed to fly to City N to transfer, and because Xia Jing and I sat in first class, we were put in the VIP lounge of City N’s airport to rest after we landed.

“Dagege, there are so few people here!” Xia Jing laid intimately in my arms. Although I haven’t eaten little beauty Xia for real yet, our nightly openness with one another caused us to be beyond close.

“Yeah, actually, there aren’t a lot of people that fly first class. Aside from some people with their backgrounds, nobody would spend so much pointless money to fly first class. What’s more, many first class seats didn’t have any discount, so they were nearly double the price of economy. Hehe,” I replied.

“Then let’s fly economy from now on,” said Xia Jing.

Chapter 60 – Being Tailed By The Goddess



“En……” Xiao Chen nodded and let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The second batch of Body Tempering medicinal herbs funds had their whereabouts. The distance from upgrading his strength became nearer by a step.

Taking the tricycle and delivering it to the grocery store, Xiao Chen and Tang Tang went together to a 24-hour business bank. Watching Tang Tang take out the 10,000 RMB that she had just saved up, Xiao Chen couldn’t restrain the slight tremble in his heart.

But Tang Tang seemed to not pay attention to this. She took the money and immediately handed it over to Xiao Chen: “Here, take it!”

Things had already gone to this point, so what else could Xiao Chen say? There was no other choice but to receive the 10,000 RMB and put it away.

When they arrived at school, Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei also arrived. Lou Zhenming was fawning upon Cheng Mengying at that moment, returning those review materials that he had picked up yesterday back to Cheng Mengying.

Although Cheng Mengying didn’t have a good opinion on this guy, Lou Zhenming, she couldn’t exactly reach out and slap a smiling-faced person, to say nothing of Lou Zhenming who had come to return books.

“Mengying, did you come across any matter yesterday?” In reality, Lou Zhenming wanted to wrap Cheng Mengying’s words and see through that Sha Dage’s origins, to make sure whether or not he was Cheng Mengying’s bodyguard.

“No, what matter could there be?” Cheng Mengying rhetorically asked.

“Haha, nothing. Right, before, why was Xiao Chen and that big fellow walking together by your side?” Lou Zhenming pretended with a calm appearance as he asked thoughtlessly.

“What big fellow?” Cheng Mengying stared blankly.

“Cousin Mengying, it’s that Sha Dage. Did you forget? He looked for us to ask for directions and we happened to go the same way, so he came along. I saw that he was looking at cousin Mengying’s beauty and came to hit on you!” Jin Beibei suddenly opened her mouth and said.

“Ask for directions? Hit on her?” This answer made Lou Zhenming look distracted, but he relaxed in his heart. It was good as long as this person and Cheng Mengying didn’t have any relationship.

“Yeah, he asked us for directions, then politely helped me and cousin Mengying by holding our bags. Later, when we came across a robbery, he wanted to show off his ability ‘hero saving the beauty’!” Jin Beibei said: “Cousin Mengying doesn’t have any eye for such a guy, so she doesn’t have any impression!”

“Ooh, so it was like this……” Lou Zhenming suddenly became happy. So it turns out that Cheng Mengying doesn’t like any ‘hero saving the beauty’! Luckily my ‘hero saving the beauty’ plan was defeated, from what it seems now, there was nothing to regret!

As for whatever relationship Cheng Mengying and Xiao Chen had, Lou Zhenming simply didn’t ask. In Lou Zhenming’s opinion, they definitely didn’t have any relationship. Moreover, Xiao Chen and Tang Tang, who had become a ‘couple’, entered the classroom just now, so Lou Zhenming was even more relieved!

Xiao Chen had made clear his interest in Tang Tang. For this country bumpkin from the mountains, it was only right for him to pair up formerly fantasized about school beauty.

Making Shou Hou give back Xiao Chen his review materials, Lou Zhenming was disinclined to speak with Xiao Chen. Yesterday was a forced situation, today is ‘what isn’t seen, isn’t grieved over at heart’.

Jin Beibei’s car had been delivered to a 4S Shop by a Jin Clan disciple and returned it back after it was serviced. She heard that it was some pipe that fell, not a big problem.

The day passed by without anything happening, with Xiao Che still looking over the review materials the whole day. Although the breakfast income was considerable, having more paths was better. What’s more, after Xiao Chen tested into a college he had to depend on himself, it was impossible for the clan to give him a single cent.

During evening dismissal, Cheng Mengying sent a text to Xiao Chen and allowed Xiao Chen sit together on the car to go back. Although the Beetle was small, he could still fit if he squeezed in.

But Xiao Chen wanted to go buy medicine in the evening, so he naturally politely refused the Young Lady’s good intentions.

However, Xiao Chen’s covering up actually made Young Lady Cheng misunderstand. Seeing that Xiao Chen said that he still had matters after evening dismissal, her vision couldn’t help but sweep towards Tang Tang and was somewhat annoyed at heart! Are your eyes blind? This Young Lady is a lovable youth without rival, why are you getting along with Tang Tang all day long? Getting beaten to death by someone is deserved!

After dismissal, Cheng Mengying left one step earlier with Jin Beibei. She was heavily angry, but after boarding the car, her anger disappeared. She thought about yesterday’s danger and became somewhat anxious.

“Beibei, about those people from last night, do you think they’ll still look for trouble tonight?” Cheng Mengying asked.

“Is cousin Mengying worried for brother-in-law Xiao Chen?” Jin Beibei asked back with a smile.

“Why would I be anxious about him? I only fear that he’ll die and damage my reputation! The outside would think that this Young Lady is narrow-minded and unable to tolerate people, and will definitely think that I was the one who caused Xiao Chen’s death!” Cheng Mengying explained.

“Oh, oh.” Jin Beibei nodded.

“Why are you ‘oh’-ing?” When Cheng Mengying heard Jin Beibei’s reply, she felt that Jin Beibei needed a little beating.

“It’s just that I understand.” Jin Beibei replied.

“Understand, yet still not driving after Xiao Chen? Let’s take a look at what he’s doing!” Cheng Mengying helplessly ordered.

“Okay oh.” Jin Beibei started the car. At this time, they just happened to see Xiao Chen, Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun walk out of the school.

But what made Cheng Mengying surprised was that Xiao Chen unexpectedly waved goodbye to Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun at the school gates and didn’t walk with them. This made the somewhat quietly resentful Young Lady’s heart a little happier.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare to walk any alleyways today. He would rather go around through a longer proper street because at least on a proper street, there would be more people making it safer. Of course with that said, if the person wanting to cope with him didn’t fear any influences, then they could totally still deal with him on a proper street. However, Xiao Chen felt completely at ease with his plan.

Onlu, after not walking too far, Xiao Chen’s heart was faintly alarmed! Apparently, he was being followed again! Xiao Chen hadn’t turned his head to take a look, but his improved six senses allowed Xiao Chen to detect himself seemingly being followed!

It can’t be that I have such bad luck right? That Sha Dage from yesterday came again? After all, the first time he met danger, those two Martialists both died, so it created a short period of peace for Xiao Chen. But yesterday, Sha Dage shouldn’t have died, so there was some reason if he came again today.

Xiao Chen was anxious at heart and cold sweat covered his forehead, when suddenly, Tian Lao’s familiar ridiculing voice rang out from beside his ear: “Little Chenzi, you seem quite nervous.”

“No kidding. When being followed, who wouldn’t be nervous? Don’t tell me you haven’t perceived it!” Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.

“Stop speaking, I truly didn’t perceive it. I haven’t discovered anyone behind you except for your goddess.” Tian Lao mockingly said.

“Goddess?” Xiao Chen stared blankly: “What goddess?”

“Your fiancee, Cheng Mengying……oh, sorry, now it’s your mistress Young Lady Cheng.” Tian Lao replied.

“Cheng Mengying?” Xiao Chen turned his head in amazement, and sure enough, not far away, a red-colored Beetle was slowly travelling along! Xiao Chen was astonished and somewhat silent at the same time, not knowing how to take this. At that time when he was at Xiao Clan, apart from his die-hard Zhu Yingxiong, Xiao Chen basically didn’t feel that there was a friend who was concerned about him. But after he was driven out of Xiao Clan and lost power, there was still so many good people by his side!

Tang Tang, Cheng Mengying, Xiao Chen engraved it into his memory and heart.

Although Young Lady Cheng was regularly haunted with the ‘proud and lovable princess disease’, the more contact Xiao Chen had with her, the more often he saw her kindhearted and enthusiastic side.

Regarding Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei’s tailing, Xiao Chen didn’t plan to expose. Xiao Chen previously buying medicine and not wanting them to know was entirely based on the principle of confidentiality. After all, if they knew where he went to buy medicine, it was hard to say if they would leak out information. If he caused Cheng Clan or his enemy’s Clan to know, then it certainly wouldn’t be amusing.

But since they already knew, Xiao Chen didn’t need to keep concealing. He believed that the Young Lady wouldn’t do anything harmful to him!

It was still the previous pharmacy that Xiao Chen had visited two days ago. Those previously bought auxiliary medicinal herbs could still be use another time for today, but it would would run out tomorrow, so Xiao Chen planned to buy tomorrow’s medicinal herbs.

Pushing the door to enter to pharmacy, that girl called ‘Yan Yan’ was still sitting behind the counter reading a book. A tranquil peacefulness permeated from her, causing the people watching to feel extremely comfortable.

When Hong Yan heard a visitor come in, she put down the book in her hand and raised her head to take a look. When she saw that it was unexpectedly Xiao Chen, she couldn’t help but be slightly startled: “It’s you?”

“En, I’ve come again.” Xiao Chen nodded: “When I came the day before yesterday, I spoke about needing five auxiliary medicinal herbs.”

“Oh, wait, I’ll call grandfather.” Hong Yan didn’t say anything else. Orders involving the Bitter Relief Fruit wasn’t something she could take responsibility for. Although she was a rich young lady, she was merely here to learn and experience. The pharmacy’s operation was Grandpa Chen’s responsibility.

After saying this, Hong Yan turned around and went into an inside room. Soon after, she came back with “her grandfather”.

“Young fellow, it’s you?” Grandpa Chen glanced at Xiao Chen: “I heard you wanted to buy medicine?”

“Yes.” Xiao Chen nodded.

“I can make a loss selling you a batch of auxiliary medicine this time, but the next batch will not be at this price.” Grandpa Chen said as he was preparing Xiao Chen’s prescription: “Did you prepare your 10,000 RMB?”

“Prepared, many thanks old grandfather!” Xiao Chen knew that taking advantage of another person twice was already quite good and that wanting to always benefit wasn’t realistic. He and the other party weren’t relatives or friends, so why would the other person want to make a loss selling him medicinal herbs? But Xiao Chen was currently impoverished, so he couldn’t help but ask: “Old grandfather, next time I buy…..how much money do I need?”

“Next time……I can give you a discount. 20,000 RMB and the Bitter Relief Fruit can be considered as a present to you, but after next time, I will collect 50,000 RMB.” Grandpa Chen said. In reality, his condition was already very generous. Even if it was 50,000 RMB, it already showed a lot of consideration for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen wasn’t the kind of person that was avaricious and insatiable. Although he felt that it would be somewhat difficult to take out 20,000 RMB after 3 days and very troublesome to take out 50,000 RMB afterwards, Xiao Chen didn’t have any solutions. He could only walk a step and look a step.

“Many thanks old grandfather, I will earn money as soon as possible.” Xiao Chen nodded.

Grandpa Chen didn’t speak anymore. After grabbing all the medicinal herbs, he handed it over to Xiao Chen, saying: “If you can get Bitter Relief Fruits yourself, I can still sell you the medicinal herbs for 20,000 RMB afterwards, but the Bitter Relief Fruit in my hands aren’t much.”


Chapter 3 – Contract Ceremony



“In the end, what is this thing?” Lin Wei stood up, stretched his neck, and looked towards that ‘Contract Selecting Cloud’ floating towards the mountain peak in the distance.

 

Plump Red apparently wasn’t too clear on what was happening. It looked dazed for a moment, then lowered its head and continued on annihilating its grilled fish.

 

“Stop eating you two, together……let’s take a look together!” The Iron-skin Rhinoceros elatedly said.

 

Follow together? Lin Wei stared blankly. That place was in such a far away area from this lake; going there would be too dangerous.

 

Suddenly, Lin Wei finally noticed something he didn’t discover previously——in the lake’s open field, the amount of beasts suddenly increased by a lot! Furthermore, they basically scuttled from the forest, went around the lake, and ran to the forest on the other side. The direction they were going in was the direction that ‘Contract Selecting Cloud’ was floating in. The strangest thing was that among these beasts, there were all kinds of statuses. The lowest was naturally Beastly Servant, but the highest status was Low Level Beastly Guard! It was so strange that wolves, rabbit, and sheep were harmoniously running together! All the beasts had a type of indescribable excited mood, as if they were going to participate in a grand event.

 

Plump Red scratched its head. Suddenly, its mind luckily sharpened and an excited look on its face rapidly surfaced. It stood up, patted off its butt and abandoned the grilled fish in its hand, following after the Iron-skin Rhinoceros who was running towards the forest.

 

“Hey, wait……” Lin Wei yelled at once: “What’s going on? What is this ‘Contract Selecting Cloud’?”

 

“In a while, I’ll inform you, quickly run!” The Iron-skin Rhinoceros shouted. It was already disappearing into the concentrated beast crowd.

 

Regardless, I should first go and take a look! Lin Wei thought in his heart. Looking at the 5-6 Plum Flower Deer-looking small beasts running by his side, he promptly followed and mixed into the middle of them, using them to safeguard himself.

 

Just like this, he followed the large forces to pass through the entire forest, cross several rivers, then saw the Contract Selecting Cloud’s speed gradually slow down.

 

At this moment, the amount of life forms in all directions constantly increased!

 

Yes, the words ‘life form’ had to be used here because, besides from those gigantic Treants and plant class creatures, Lin Wei could also see some completely different life forms that didn’t have shapes like ordinary animals.

 

The one that appeared the earliest was an unfixed clay-shaped life, and on that gray-black body were two whirling eyeballs. It was twisting on the ground, rolling around, and its speed was quite quick.

 

After concentrating his attention on its body, a line of information with more words than a common organism appeared:

 

Pottery Clay Monster, Attribute: Earth, Shape: Semi-entity Life Form, Status: Beastly Servant.

 

“Semi-entity?” Lin Wei stared blankly for a moment: “What does it mean? Could it be referring to its unfixed shape, its ability to twist and deform?”

 

Lin Wei pondered for a moment but was unsuccessful. However, he very quickly saw another even more magical thing——it should have flown over from his left rear. It appeared to resemble a ball of mist and while flying, it emitted red or orange rays of light. Inside of it, there seemed to be a silver electric snake twisting and flickering. It’s speed was extraordinarily quick, sweeping past low altitude with a low cry.

 

Silver Electric Red Silk, Attribute: Lightning, Shape: Elemental Class Void Body, Rank: Bronze, Status: High Level Beastly Soldier.

 

“Heavens! What is that Contract Selecting Cloud in the end? It unexpectedly attracted this many living creatures over. Even a Bronze rank Elemental Class ran over!” Lin Wei glanced at the Contract Selecting Cloud floating on the mountain summit in the distance and discovered that it had basically stopped.

 

“You wanna know?” Suddenly, a tender pouting sound echoed besides Lin Wei’s ears.

 

Lin Wei was shocked by this sudden voice. He turning his head to look and saw the Silver Electric Red Silk that had just flown past him. It wasn’t known when, but it had appeared on his right with its illusory figure was floating. Although its figure didn’t have substance, Lin Wei could still feel an attentive gaze. Moreover, this gaze was tinged with curiosity.

 

“You know?” Lin Wei probingly asked.

 

“Yeah.” Although this Silver Electric Red Silk was Bronze rank, it didn’t resemble that former Vigorous Vajra Ape who sent out a formidable pressure.

 

“Because my mommy told me!” The Silver Electric Red Silk’s voice was filled with pride.

 

Faint! Its mother?

 

“Then where’s your mother?” Lin Wei subconsciously asked. He thought in his heart, is a fully grown Silver Electric Red Silk’s body larger?

 

“My mommy……” The Silver Electric Red Silk’s voice was tinged with pride, but there was more loss and sadness emerging. Although its status wasn’t high, its voice conveyed exceedingly rich emotion: “In those years, she was chosen by the Contract Selecting Cloud and contracted into a summon beast! But……but afterwards, during a fight, she was……was, killed by a *******……”

 

After speaking the last word, the Silver Electric Red Silk’s voice broken into a feeble sob.

 

Contract! Summon Beast!

 

When hearing these two familiar nouns, a lightning bolt went across Lin Wei’s mind.

 

Suddenly, he understood, completely understood.

 

This place was a summon world! That is, a world where summon beasts lived! All the life forms in this place were summon beasts! No, no! To be precise, only a portion are summon beasts. The remaining portion could be considered as reserve summon beasts.

 

And this Contract Selecting Cloud came to filter summon beasts! Once it chose, then one would change and turn into a true summon beast.

 

Him turning into this appearance, transforming into a beast, turning into a member of the reserve forces.

 

If he could was chosen by this Contract Selecting Cloud in the future, then wouldn’t he……be able to leave this world?!!

 

Lin Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and swallowed his saliva. At last, he finally found a way to leave this place!

 

With this hard-to-suppress excitement, Lin Wei once again look towards the Contract Selecting Cloud. Previously, this group of red clouds already stopped over his head, but very clearly, it hadn’t chosen him. Now that it stopped over that mountain speak, there was a very big possibility that it already found an appropriate life form.

 

To turn into a summon beast, what requirements or conditions needed to be met? Lin Wei guessed that it possibly required one to be at least Bronze rank or higher. Possibly at least Beastly Guard status or higher?

 

When Lin Wei thought up to here, he merely thought to put all his strength into his legs. Je forced his way ahead of the relatively slow beasts and began running towards the mountain peak. He had to make clear the requirements of becoming a summon beast!

 

Approximately two hours later, Lin Wei finally arrived halfway up the mountain. After arriving here, it became difficult for him to even take a step further. On the mountain peak, unknown whether or not it was because of Contract Selecting Cloud, there was a top-down wind pressure. Moreover, the higher one approached the mountain peak, the stronger the wind pressure would be. Apart from this, those high status beasts could occupy a more advantageous position. When Lin Wei wanted to continue onwards, two ordinary rank wolf class Intermediate Level Beastly Soldiers in the front obstructed him and used an unfriendly gaze to stare at him.

 

Lin Wei helplessly stopped in his tracks. He was already the number one person among Beastly Servants to approach the summit the most. From this position upwards, one could see innumerable Intermediate and High Level Beastly Soldiers. Close to the end of his field of view, there were already large quantities of Low Level Beastly Guards.

 

At this time, the Contract Selecting Cloud began to slowly change shape. Its area gradually spread out and it turned thin, with its color deepening along with the thinning. The wind pressure halfway up the mountain also became stronger, causing Lin Wei’s eyes to nearly not be able to open and his figure swayed incessantly.

 

“Oh!!!”

 

All the life forms simultaneously cheered.

 

Lin Wei opened his eyes by a seam with great difficult under the wind pressure and saw this scene——there was a hole in the middle of the Contract Selecting Cloud. A resplendent ray of light came down from the hole. That was just according the light on the mountain peak; the light pillar’s afterglow dyed half of the mountain peak in golden and in the middle of the light pillar, a silhouette slowly rose from the summit. An intangible power sucked it into the sky, causing it to ascend higher until it finally stopped over in the middle of the Contract Selecting Cloud.

 

This silhouette’s distance was too far, so Lin Wei was completely unable to acquire its detailed information. However, a burst of whooping already began disseminated downwards the mountain like a tsunami.

 

“Look! Quickly look! Heavenly Wolf Guard!”

 

“Truly, it is indeed the Heavenly Wolf Guard!”

 

“Is……is it that the Iron-claw Wolf?”

 

“En, yes.”

 

“I heard, it had……been on the mountain the whole time.”

 

In front of Lin Wei, those two wolf race Intermediate Level Beastly Soldiers were endlessly fanatical. Lin Wei fixed his eyes and took a look: those two Beastly Soldiers were only common rank Gray-furred Wolves. Apparently, this Heavenly Wolf Guard was the wolf race’s common idol.

 

“It’s the Heavenly Wolf Guard……” It was unknown when the Silver Electric Red Silk had appeared by Lin Wei’s side. It mumbled: “Bronze High Level Beastly Guard! Amazing.”

 

“Is it very powerful?” Lin Wei asked. Being able to be spoken highly of by the Silver Electric Red Silk, it seemed that this Heavenly Wolf Guard truly was a fierce character.

 

Heavenly Wolf Guard. This was clearly a name just like Plump Red. However, this name had a penetrating haughty and aloof atmosphere and one could faintly pry into this Bronze High Level Beastly Guard’s mood.

 

Silver Electric Red Silk actually didn’t say anything.

 

In the sky, the Heavenly Wolf Guard seemingly extended its limbs, then sent out a howl that even the deaf would be able to hear. And at this time, the Contract Selecting Cloud sent out a slender red light ray that used an extremely quick speed to hit the Heavenly Wolf Guard.

 

Weng! All the life forms underneath felt their souls shaking, then there seemed to be a formless law descending. All life forms in their soul seas could hear these words:

 

Metal-attributed Bronze High Level Beastly Guard Iron-claw Wolf has successfully been contracted into a summon beast to Qifeng Continent! Obtained the law’s bestowal of a new skill and new talent. Its skill and talent must be kept confidential. This mountain peak has turned into its permanent governance and has changed names to Heavenly Wolf Peak.

 

All life forms once again sent out a mad cry and inside this mad cry, one could totally hear the sincerity and reverence from their hearts to obtain an evolution.

 

Lin Wei’s body jolted. After the contract, there was unexpectedly an additional skill and talent bestowal and land possession! Hard-to-suppress happiness surged up; this was it! I must become stronger and obtain the Contract Selecting Cloud’s approval, so that I can turn into a summon beast!

 

In the sky, the Heavenly Wolf Guard’s figure became illusory. Afterwards, it distorted and was sucked into the Contract Selecting Cloud with a ‘whoosh’.

 

“It was summoned to Qifeng Continent!” Lin Wei’s eyelid jumped and his heart was trying hard not to beat. He had been looking for the space transmission gate the entire time; as long as he could pass through that hole, he would be able to leave this place!

 

In the surroundings of the mountain peak, all the wolf class beasts howled and jumped, appearing to be incomparably excited. But Lin Wei began retreating back, preparing to return to Plump Red and the Iron-skin Rhinoceros’ side.

 

But after walking several steps, he actually discovered that the Silver Electric Red Silk was closely following him.

 

“Huh? Why are you following me?” Lin Wei stared at the Silver Electric Red Silk and asked.

 

“Che, who is following you……” The Silver Electric Red Silk blinked its substance-less shaped eyes: “You……shouldn’t be wanting……wanting to become a contracted summon beast right?”

 

Having the thing in his heart said, Lin Wei’s heart jumped. But on the surface, he pretended to have a nonchalant appearance, saying: “Too difficult, I don’t have this notion.”

 

Huh? Wait……

 

What damned place is this Qifeng Continent? Why wasn’t it summoned to Earth? There simply wasn’t a Qifeng Continent on Earth!!!Could it be that this was another heavenly body? Or perhaps it was——another dimension?!!!
