Jiang Xiaohou was pinned to the ground by Hun Tiangang, as if he were pressing down a fierce beast.
Hun Tiangang's face was displeased: "Still not behaving?"
Jiang Xiaohou refused to submit, struggling with all his might, but he couldn't break free.
Turning his head back, his eyes were filled with anger, madness, and ferocious brutality.
Hun Tiangang shook his head: "You really are a mad monkey. If you weren't from the Jiang family, I would have crippled you today."
"Ugh! Huff… huff… ugh… ah…"
Hun Tiangang was furious: "You still dare act up!?"
At that moment, a person knelt on one knee, then on both knees, cupping his fists in plea: "Senior Tiangang! Please, for the sake of your long-standing relationship with the Jiang family, show mercy!"
Hun Tiangang snorted coldly: "What relationship do I have with the Jiang family? They sent a lunatic to trouble me! Today, I'll do the Jiang family a favor—crippling this madman early to prevent future harm!"
Jiang Xiaohou was afraid now. A flicker of fear finally appeared in his gaze.
Since childhood, he had been unruly, getting whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
The entire world felt meaningless. He was born at max level, with no goals to strive for!
He never expected Hun Tiangang to be this ruthless, this fearless!
He wasn't a fool—he knew he wasn't Hun Tiangang's match.
But he had never imagined that Hun Tiangang would actually dare to cripple him.
This kind of thing… in his mind, in his entire life experience of over a decade… didn't exist!
So, when he truly felt Hun Tiangang's unwavering determination, he was stunned.
Is there really someone in this world who dares to cripple me?
Is this old man serious!?
Jiang Xiaohou sobered up in an instant. He suddenly realized that there were indeed people in the world who weren't afraid of the Jiang family. At the very least, there was one standing before him now.
Jiang Xiaohou was scared, but his mouth was still defiant: "You dare!? I'm a Jiang! I'm the eldest daughter of the Jiang family! No one dares to touch a Jiang!"
Hun Tiangang laughed heartily: "I'll cripple your cultivation today! Go back and tell your Jiang family that I did it! If they're not happy, they can come find me—I'll be waiting!"
Hun Tiangang's eyes widened as he unleashed his true energy. The Jiang family members who were about to plead for mercy were instantly sent flying before they could even speak.
Jiang Xiaohou roared in rage: "Old bastard! The Jiang family won't let you go! Ah—! Ah—!"
The wind stopped, and the rain ceased!
Hun Tiangang withdrew his energy, looking confused.
Jiang Xiaohou realized she hadn't been crippled. Instead, Hun Tiangang seemed distracted, lost in thought.
Her eyes darted around, and in one swift motion, like an agile fox, she rolled away, attempting to flee.
She thought she was fast.
She thought this was the fastest she had ever moved!
Because she was terrified.
Damn it, this old man doesn't seem to know what fear is!
Even the Jiang family doesn't scare him—what kind of beast is he!? Is he even human?
People call me a mad monkey, but I think he's the real madman!
But even so, in the very next moment, Jiang Xiaohou was still caught.
Hun Tiangang clamped down on her wrist's pulse point, rendering her completely immobile.
A surge of overwhelming true energy invaded her body, making her grimace in pain. She couldn't muster a single bit of her own energy.
"You… old bastard… let me go… let go!"
Hun Tiangang held her wrist, looking at the sky, then at her, then back at the sky, then back at her again—his expression constipated.
"How… how could this be? It shouldn't be like this! Strange… Did I miscalculate again?"
Jiang Xiaohou was completely terrified.
I'm a lunatic, but he's a madman!
At least I act crazy according to my own will. But this old man… he seems to have no rhyme or reason!
What nonsense is he babbling about!?
"Let me go! Let go of me! You old pervert, grabbing a young girl's hand—have you no shame!?"
Hun Tiangang shook his head and sighed repeatedly: "It doesn't make sense! How could my disciple like this kind of woman? What's good about her? No, wait—it's her pestering my disciple… The Jiang family is so proud, how could they fall for… No, something's wrong!"
Hun Tiangang looked at Jiang Xiaohou.
Jiang Xiaohou bared her teeth, looking both ferocious and terrified, like a beast.
Hun Tiangang shook his head: "A fated disaster… truly a fated disaster… sigh…"
Hun Tiangang let out a long sigh and released her wrist.
Jiang Xiaohou instantly darted away, rubbing her wrist, still shaken, glaring at Hun Tiangang with fury.
She had been too scared just now—her mind was filled with a thousand terrifying thoughts and visions of her impending doom. She hadn't even registered what Hun Tiangang was saying.
Hun Tiangang looked at Jiang Xiaohou: "Go. If you want to stay in the Northern Kingdom and play around… then go, I won't bother with you."
"Hmph! So you're still afraid of the Jiang family, aren't you?"
Hun Tiangang tilted his head: "You're not leaving? Good, I was just starting to regret it."
As he spoke, he stepped forward.
Jiang Xiaohou took off running like a rabbit on steroids.
She didn't even care about her subordinates, sprinting away like a madwoman.
She vanished, but her voice echoed back:
"Old bastard! Just you wait! You have two disciples—I'll make one of them suffer a fate worse than death!"
Hun Tiangang sighed: "Tian'er, don't blame your master. She's the one who wants to torment you. Just… just bear with it, okay? Life is about endurance—it'll pass."
A Jiang family member immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Senior, for your generosity! We were reckless today. Another day, we will personally come to apologize!"
"No need! We're all family, after all!"
A few of them froze, not understanding his meaning, but they had no time to think. They quickly retreated.
Once at a safe distance, they too took off running.
One, to quickly get away from Hun Tiangang, and two, to chase after his own crazy little prince.
...
Master Lu was very satisfied.
Young Master Lu was even more satisfied!
Lu Chengwen held Luo Shiyin in his arms. Even in his post-release clarity, he still couldn't get enough of looking at her.
How could she be so beautiful? How could she be so intoxicating?
This woman was simply a natural-born enchantress.
Luo Shiyin bit her lip, her cheeks flushed red. "Master, you've bullied your little slave to death."
Lu Chengwen chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Lewd woman, you were clearly the one seducing me! The cup you drank didn't even have Desire Woman Pill in it!"
Luo Shiyin blushed and laughed. "Of course, it did! Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this!"
"You think I don't know you?" Lu Chengwen tightened his hold on her. "But honestly, whether that stuff was there or not doesn't even matter anymore."
Luo Shiyin suddenly froze. "Master, I'm about to break through!"
Lu Chengwen said, "Me too."
Outside, Qi Meishao knocked on the door. "Are you two done? Can you come out now?"
The two of them circulated their energy for a moment, then opened their eyes and exchanged smiles.
Qi Meishao was fuming.
Lu Chengwen walked out wearing only pants and a shirt, the buttons still undone, his chest exposed as he went to pour himself a drink.
"Have a drink! Let's celebrate!"
Luo Shiyin smiled. "Your slave will fetch you a cup."
Qi Meishao grabbed Luo Shiyin by the arm. "Shiyin-jie! What exactly are you doing!?"
"I leveled up!" Luo Shiyin grinned. "You're no longer my match now!"
Qi Meishao burst into tears, real tears.
She was a woman too. She understood that Luo Shiyin had already reached a point of no return.
Even Lu Chengwen had once advised her, saying that if it was just to satisfy her craving, she should let it go—after all, Qi Meishao was still waiting outside.
But Luo Shiyin had said, today I'll eat my fill, and if I die tomorrow, I'll die content.
At that moment, Qi Meishao's heart broke.
She finally understood.
Luo Shiyin had never been bullied by Lu Chengwen all along, nor had she been tricked. She had deliberately and painstakingly thrown herself into his arms.
She loved Lu Chengwen—loved him to the point of complete madness.
Loved him so much that she no longer cared about the consequences.
As long as she saw Lu Chengwen, her mind had only one thought.
To love.
To love him with all her heart the moment she saw him, to demand from him—demand tenderness, demand affection, demand care, demand everything a girl longs for in love…
As for everything else, she no longer cared.
As long as she could love him fiercely today, even if the world ended tomorrow, she wouldn't regret it.
Qi Meishao felt like a parent watching their daughter fall in love with a man they didn't approve of.
Watching her daughter fly into the fire like a moth to the flame—what was done was done, and she could only accept it.
Qi Meishao sighed, her tear-filled eyes gazing at Luo Shiyin and Lu Chengwen.
"I didn't believe it before, but now… I have no choice. I know now that you two truly love each other…"
This time, it was Lu Chengwen and Luo Shiyin who were caught off guard.
They exchanged a glance, seeing Qi Meishao's expression and demeanor, and for a moment, they didn't know how to comfort her.
Qi Meishao seemed to understand their thoughts, smiling bitterly:
"Shiyin-jie, none of us expected that coming to Snow City would end this way, did we?"
Luo Shiyin's eyes turned red as well. "Meishao, all I can say is… fate plays cruel tricks."
Qi Meishao walked up to her, took her hand, and wiped away Luo Shiyin's tears. Then, she suddenly broke down into loud sobs. "You have to take care of yourself! If he bullies you, tell me, and I'll beat him to death!"
Luo Shiyin also started crying. "I'm sorry, Meishao, I'm sorry! I never wanted to make you sad! You have to take care of yourself too. I'll keep a spot for you here—come join me soon, okay?"
Qi Meishao wailed. "You're insane! You're completely insane…"
Lu Chengwen stood on the side, deep in thought.
[Did I just sleep with one person? So why are there two of them crying now?]
At that moment, Qi Meishao's phone rang.
Long Aotian said, "Hey! Meishao, what did Lu Chengwen say? Has the construction started yet?"
Qi Meishao sobbed, "He said it will start… wuwuwu…"
"What are you crying for? Did he bully you?"
"No, he didn't bully me!"
"Did he make you… take your panties off again?"
"No, not today!"
"Then why are you crying?"
"I'm crying for you, Young Master!"
"What!?"
"Young Master, you're dead… wuwuwu… dead, Young Master…"
"Bullshit! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I mean… my heart is dead, wuwuwu…"
"The hell… I think all of you have lost your minds lately!"
Qi Meishao said, "Young Master, you're so pitiful!"
"The hell… what exactly happened?"
"It's hard to explain!"
Long Aotian suppressed his frustration. "Book a meeting. Arrange for Lu Chengwen to visit the construction site! I want to inspect it with him. And discuss the project details. Hey, did you hear me?"
"I heard you. Lu Chengwen heard you too."
"He's next to you?"
"Yes…"
Long Aotian was silent for a long time.
Lu Chengwen leaned in close to the phone, gently pushing Qi Meishao aside, signaling her to go cry elsewhere.
He picked up the call. "Hey! Senior Brother? A site inspection?"
