1.5 billion!
Tears flowed from Wei Suo’s eyes. The total amount everyone paid to Chen Xiaobei was 1.5 billion only! He alone needed to pay Chen Xiaobei 1.5 billion for the pill! That was the price for insulting Chen Xiaobei. At that moment, he just wanted to slap himself a few times. Things would have been really different if he did not scold Chen Xiaobei.
Mr. Chen Xiaobei… 1.5 billion is a tad bit too expensive… Can you lower the price…?
Wei Suo asked politely. He really wanted to buy the Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill. However, not even the richest man from Hong Kong could come up with such a huge sum of money in a short period of time.
Chen Xiaobei interrupted him before he could finish his words,
That is the final price. Buy it if you can afford it. If not, just get lost! I don’t need your money anyway!
I want to buy… Truly and genuinely… Mr. Chen, be lenient please, just lower the price a little bit…
Wei Suo begged Chen Xiaobei. He wanted to befriend Chen Xiaobei, other than buying the Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill! Chen Xiaobei could be considered a top-tier alchemist. It was only normal for everyone wanted to be friends with him. He might not meet a second alchemist that was as skillful as Chen Xiaobei.
Cut the crap! You are bound to pay the price when you insulted Bro Bei! Remember! Never insult Bro Bei!
I…
Wei Suo frowned. There was nothing he could do at that moment. However, he could acquire a Heavenly Pill and an opportunity to befriend a top-tier alchemist if he decided to pay 1.5 billion to Chen Xiaobei!
I will buy it! I’m willing to pay you 1.5 billion for the pill!
Wei Suo finally made up his mind. It was a tough decision for him to make.
Can I write you a cheque first? I will need some time to prepare such a huge sum of money!
The Wei Family from Hong Kong was working in the stock market industry. Their total wealth was similar to the Li Family from Zhong Province! Both families had an accumulated wealth of three hundred billion each! However, most of Wei Family’s money was invested in the stock market. Wei Suo was not lying. Of course, he would not dare to lie to Chen Xiaobei as well. He knew that it was a bad idea to mess with Chen Xiaobei.
Okay, you can just write me a statement to prove that you owe me 1.5 billion! However, it comes with interest!
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said. He had 1.6 billion in his bank account. He was going to need a long time to spend all the money in his account. Thus, he was not in rush to make Wei Suo pay him. Moreover, Wei Suo would not dare to con Chen Xiaobei as well.
No problem! I’m fine with the interest!
Without any hesitation, Wei Suo wrote a statement. He even impressed the statement with his personal stamp to show his sincerity. He then double checked the statement and handed it to Chen Xiaobei politely. Everyone’s reaction was different when witnessing what Chen Xiaobei made Wei Suo do.
Yap Xianghu gave his grandson a thumb up. He complimented Yap Liangchen for making the best decision in his life to become Chen Xiaobei’s follower.
Wu Jiechao felt that he was blessed. Luckily his uncle, Wu Tianhe and Chen Xiaobei were friends. If not, it was impossible for Wu to fork out 1.5 billion to buy the pill for him. Wu Jiechao was terrified when he imagined himself sitting in the wheelchair for the rest of his life. He had made up his mind that he is going to treat Chen Xiaobei like a god from that day onwards.
Cao Zhenyang had similar thoughts as well. He had decided that he was going to build a better relationship with Chen Xiaobei since he knew that Chen Xiaobei was a master at concocting pills and the powerful Xiangyu had his back all the time as well.
On the other hand, Li Yunlin and Li Xiang had their own hidden agendas. Their thought processes were extremely complex at that moment. Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei threw in another piece of good news to them!
I have another type of pill with me. The effect of this pill is similar to the Fire Pill of Hundred Beasts Faction! It can boost one’s combat power temporary! The side effect of Fire Pill is huge! One needs a long time to be recover after consuming the Fire Pill! My pill has side effect too! One year of your life will be burned out after consuming this pill! However, you can keep your health. The price of the Fire Pill is three million. I’m going to sell my Bone Burning Pill for thirty million! I only have ten Bone Burning Pills with me! I would suggest Jianghu elites to purchase it!
Everyone was excited after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s announcement.
Oh my god! This is another legendary pill!
Elder Ma was the most excited one among them. Of course, he had the most right to comment as well.
Normally, a pill like this carries a huge side effect. One would suffer from a great loss of Qi once the effect of the pill expires! The person will be left extremely vulnerable if enemies come looking for the person!
Master Chen Xiaobei’s pill will not cause one to lose a great deal of Qi! In other words, one can still continue to fight even after the effect of the pill is gone! From the perspective of an alchemist, it is actually impossible to achieve such an insane effect! Not even Master Hunagfu could concoct a pill like this!
From the combat point of view, I think Master Chen Xiaobei’s pill makes the consumer safer! The price is ten times more expensive than the Fire Pill but I think it definitely worth the price!
After that, Elder Ma transferred sixty million into Chen Xiaobei’s account immediately. He bought two Bone Burning Pill right away.
Jianghu is a very dangerous place. It’s completely worth it to burn one year of life in exchange for my life! Totally worth it!
Wu Tianhe was an experienced Jianghu person. He transferred the money to Chen Xiaobei’s account and bought two Bone Burning Pills immediately. Yap Xianghu, Cao Zhenyang, and Li Yunlin did the same as well.
Within seconds, all ten Bone Burning Pills were sold out. Wei Suo stomped when he realized he missed out on the chance to purchase the Bone Burning Pill. He then thought again. He still owed Chen Xiaobei 1.5 billion, so he decided to build a good relationship with Chen Xiaobei first. By doing that, he would be able to purchase more pills from Chen Xiaobei in the future.
After that, the whole thing finally came to an end. Everyone was really happy because they managed to acquire something really valuable that night. On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei was the happiest person on this earth. He still had one Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill and two Bone Burning Pills. He could consume them when he faced a life-threatening situation. The most exciting part was Chen Xiaobei had 1.9 billion cash transferred to his account and Wei Suo still owed him 1.5 billion. His total wealth increased to 7.4 billion at that moment. That was his new record!
Although he still could not compare with the Li and Wei Family, he managed to reduce the gap between him and the Lan Family. The total wealth of the Lan Family was thirty billion! Chen Xiaobei always kept this figure in his head. Also, he would never forget that he needed to rescue the girl that was being trapped in the Zhuang Family. There was only ten months left!
An anxious feeling started to creep into Chen Xiaobei. Ten months later, Lan was supposed to marry Zhuang Bifan! He needed to possess the power to go against the Zhuang Family. Not only did he want to save Lan but he also wanted to make sure that the Lan Family would not suffer from any loss!
I have to become stronger!
Chen Xiaobei gritted his teeth. His determination was not shaken at all.
….
At Guiyan Mansion.
There were two silver-haired old ladies drinking tea at the Zhuang Family’s well-decorated common area. One of them was the most powerful family member of the Zhuang Family, great-grandmother of Zhuang Bifan! The other person that sat beside her was a European old lady!
Chapter 522: Live Long Enough To Become A Demon
Great Grandmother, did you send for me?
A beautiful voice echoed ethereally in the living room. A young girl, dressed in a light blue gown walked down the stairs ever so elegantly. Her hair was like the fiber of the universe; smooth yet striking at the same time. Her complexion was indescribable. It was natural, untouched, and beautiful yet modest. The likes of which could captivate and tame even the most wicked of men.
Even the ever-knowledgeable old European lady stared in awe as she replied with tone of praise.
My word. I have never thought that I would see such a beautiful sight in my life. When I arrive to the Dragon City, I’ve heard of the two beauties of Dragon City. I would never have thought that the Zhuang Family had been raising a third. What a sight. I must say that I have lived long enough and yet I haven’t seen it all.
Mengchen, please greet Madam Diana,
instructed Lady Zhuang with a smile.
Yes, my lady.
Lan Mengchen nodded gently with the utmost respect and waltzed towards the old lady. She then lifted her skirt slightly and bowed in the manner of which one would bow to a royal family member.
It’s my greatest pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Madam.
The pleasure is mine.
Madam Diana smiled back.
I hope that we can work together from now on and always.
Work together?
Lan Mengchen arched her silky eyebrow and cocked her head.
Let me explain.
Lady Zhuang interjected.
Bifan was hurt and is currently rehabilitating in the hospital. He is incapable of being in your company. Since you have no friends in Dragon City, I was worried for your well-being. Hence, she has something for you to do.
Oh my. How thoughtful.
Lan Mengchen gasped. There was a glint of happiness in her voice.
She had already spent more than two months in the Zhuang Family and had displayed absolute obedience. She was, after all, the future daughter-in-law of the Zhuang Family. However, the truth was that she was only a prisoner to the Zhuang Family!
She could never leave the confines of the mansion and was locked in to lounge around all day, every day. If she had done nothing to change that, she would be sick!
That is as expected,
said Lady Zhuang.
Madam Diana is an expert in investment. As such, she has a project that she had high hopes for. When the time comes, we, the Zhuang Family will provide a piece of land and Madam Diana will provide the resources to build a factory. You and Madam Diana will be handling the project together.
You’re but a young fragile little girl. You need to expose yourself to the society before you can truly be part of the Zhuang Family. Only that, you could stand on your own two feet amongst the circle of glitterati. I am doing this for your own good!
Despite the idea sounding like concern, the old lady’s ulterior motive was to train the girl. When she is capable of conducting her own business, only then would she have the honor of standing alongside the Zhuang Family. Otherwise, she would only been treat like an empty vase; a useless decoration in the Zhuang Family.
No matter how Lan Mengchen tried to read the old lady, Lady Zhuang had proven to be unpredictable. There was no telling what the old lady had schemed. It was also the same for the old lady.
Despite her kind looks and thoughtful words, the lady was selfish and self-centered. If she had not been that way, she would not have listened to the words of a Daoist priest to force Lan Zhengguo to let her daughter married to Zhuang Bifan.
Lan Mengchen was too used to the ugly side of the society, unknown to the two of them. However, she did not care about it at that moment. As long as there was a chance for her to get some freedom, she would do it. After being held captive for such a long duration, she deeply understood the true meaning of freedom. If she could, she would run away with Chen to an unknown place to live their life to the fullest. That was only a dream she could not fulfill. She had no choice as she had the Lan Family to take care of and Chen had his own agenda. So, she had to plan it carefully and take action only when the situation was certain.
Chen had to be stronger to be on the same level as the mighty Zhuang Family.
Lan Mengchen was conflicted. She had high hopes for Chen to be stronger and she had to be strong at the same time. She would only become a dead weight to Chen and she did not want that!
The opportunity that was present to her by the two old members of two different strong families was too good to let it slide. She would only be able to strengthen her wings with a little taste of freedom!
Lan Mengchen wore a mask of gratitude and bowed once more to the old lady.
My deepest gratitude to Great Grandmother! I, Lan Mengchen shall be of good use and would never let you down!
Lady Zhuang smiled and nodded. She turned to Madam Diana with her arms behind her back and said,
Madam, I’ll be indebted to you for taking care of Lan Mengchen.
Rest assured that I will treat her as well as my own granddaughter.
Madam Diana nodded back.
I thank you.
Lady Zhuang turned to Lan Mengchen and said,
You are to follow Madam Diana for today. The rest, however, depends on yourself. The family will now leave you on your own.
Yes, my lady. I shall do my best.
Lan Mengchen nodded.
After that, the two ladies left the mansion. Lan Mengchen knew that being allowed to leave the confines of the mansion was a rare chance. However, she also knew that the Lady Zhuang was not a woman without a plan. Opportunity would always have risk following closely behind.
Grandmother!
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked into the living room and greet the old lady.
The man was Zhuang Bifan’s father, Zhuang Hao!
Have you visited Bifan in the hospital? How is the boy?
asked Lady Zhuang.
Yes I have. The boy hasn’t change. Whenever the thought of women comes to his mind, his pe-his… well. He will bleed from his groin.
Said Zhuang Hao as he frowned and gritted his teeth.
If I found out who was behind this, I will have his entire body reduced to ashes!
Calm down. Huangfu Mumin will be back soon and I have already made a call. Bifan will be fine in no time if Huangfu Mumin is back.
I understand. I am sure he will save Bifan since he and grandmother know each other!
Zhuang Hao calmed down yet he was still restless.
Even if Bifan is healed, I will not rest until the man behind this brutal act is caught!
I concur. I have figured out a few steps. I want you to find some men to keep an eye on Lan Mengchen. Perhaps you could find something.
The old woman narrowed her gaze as she spoke. The glint in her eyes suggest something ominous.
You doubt Lan Mengchen’s loyalty?
asked Zhuang Hao.
I am sure that the case had nothing to do with her. I’ve checked it a number of times!
The case has still yet to conclude. It has been two months and you had already spent most of your resources finding nothing!
Lady Zhuang sighed.
Indeed. She had nothing to do with Zhuang Bifan. However, I know something was odd when Lan Mengchen was left unscathed. The person behind the attack of Bifan was vengeful. How could the person behind this allow Lan Mengchen to walk away harmlessly?
We have all the reason to suspect her even though she swore that she was unconscious when the incident took place.
The girl is innocent. That would be for the best. However, if she does meet up with the person behind the attack… Hohoho… You know what to do.
There was an old saying, when one has lived for far too long, one would become a villain. The old witch was planning something so profound that no one could uncover her true intention. The main reason she had allowed Lan Mengchen to walk free was to lure Chen out of his den!
Yes, grandmother.
Zhuang Hao was thrilled.
If the main culprit surfaces, be it a good or holy spirit, I will have him taste the hammer of justice!
The old lady guffawed on her way out of the mansion.
…..
AH CHOOO!
Chen Xiaobei rubbed his nose after sneezing all of a sudden. He went home and grabbed Hong Haier, who was watching a beautiful lady streaming something on his phone, back to Chen’s room.
W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Hong Haier quickly ran to a corner and hugged himself tight.
Are… Are you trying to… violate me…?!
Chapter 523: A New Way Out
What the hell?! You are one dirty minded kid!
Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes at Hong Haier and said,
I want you to come here to help me with something!
Help you with something?
Okay! It is such a coincidence! I need your help as well! Let’s help each other! We can benefit mutually!
Hong Haier who was surprised a moment ago had a sly grin on his face now.
Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes again and thought.
This little bastard will never do something for you without asking anything in return!
Unfortunately, Hong Haier was the only one that could help Chen Xiaobei at that moment.
I want you to help me to enhance my Ma Liang Divine Pen!
Chen Xiaobei then took out the Green Jade Cauldron, Ma Liang Divine Pen, and Golden Eyes Divine Lion Fur! The Ma Liang Divine Pen that Chen Xiaobei owned was just a replica. It could be considered a Low-Tier Spiritual Tool. Its appearance was similar to a Chinese brush. It only contained a small amount of Spiritual Attribute.
Golden Eyes Divine Lion Fur was a Three-Stars Spiritual Item. It could help with increasing the Spiritual Attribute of Ma Liang Divine Pen. It would evolve and become a Talisman Marker! It would help to deploy the Puzzle Formation and Thunder Pool Formation! After deploying these two formations, Chen Xiaobei would have enough leverage to announce to the whole Jianghu that he set up his own faction.
These two factions were enough for Chen Xiaobei to face any attack from the enemies confidently!
You want to make use of my Sanmei True Fire, right? No problem! However, you must pay me! Fifty thousand! I will help you to do it immediately if you agree to my terms and conditions!
Why do you want so much money?
asked Chen Xiaobei, aghast.
I want to buy a rocket for my favorite female streamer! These few days, I spent most of the time flirting with her. I believe I can make her my friend with benefits after I buy a rocket for her!
said Hong Haier, with a grin.
Um…
Chen Xiaobei was completely speechless.
(This little elf is rather perverted. I can’t believe he is about to get laid in such a short period of time!)
Deal! I will transfer the money to you right now! However, I want you to help me to complete the task that I assign to you as soon as possible!
Chen Xiaobei just earned a ton of money not too long ago. Fifty thousand to him was like a speck of dust. He had no problem giving this amount of money to Hong Haier.
No problem! Leave it to me!
Hong Haier put on a smile and said.
Huff
Hong Haier rounded his mouth and exhaled a stream of golden red flame. The temperature of the room increased tremendously right after that. Not even the well-trained Chen Xiaobei could resist this extreme heat. The heat emitting from the True Samei Fire made it impossible for Chen Xiaobei’s body to endure it or open his eyes.
The size of the fire was only as thin as a finger. The whole room would have been reduced to ashes of NeZha did not suppress the size of the flame!
So, this is the legendary Divine Flame! It was no wonder the Monkey King feared of it so much after he had a taste of this Divine Flame!
Chen Xiaobei gulped.
All done!
NeZha closed his mouth and the pillar of flame was cut off. Within the Green Jade Cauldron, the Ma Liang Divine Pen and Golden Eyes Divine Lion Fur were engulfed in a ball of fire. Then, Chen Xiaobei used his mind control ability to seal the cauldron and the heat finally disappeared.
How long do I need to wait?
asked Chen Xiaobei impatiently.
It should be done by tomorrow afternoon if everything goes smoothly!
Hong Haier then hastened Chen Xiaobei,
Pay me the money now! You are not allowed to break your promise!
Chen Xiaobei would never break his own promise. It was after all a small amount of money. So, he topped up Hong Haier’s streaming account immediately. Hong Haier was ecstatic when he received the money. Facing the computer, Hong Haier interacted with a streamer he fancied who was called Mimi on multiple levels, both through the microphone and video. He looked extremely handsome and adorable, seemingly charming Mimi as well. The two of them were singing and dancing from time to time.
This kid is a real lecherous demon!
Chen Xiaobei was shocked.
Few days in the human realm and he already knows how to sing and dance quite well! Fame will rush to him in no time if he starts streaming!
The thing that Chen Xiaobei did not expect the most was NeZha started to sing and dance around with Hong Haier. The two of them did a collaborative stream with the female streamer and her popularity skyrocketed immediately.
Chen Xiaobei had an epiphany all of a sudden.
If that’s the case, I shouldn’t let them become game streamers! They should just work as streamers that provide entertainment content! By that time, they should be able to bring in female viewers that range between the age of eight to eighty. This is going to be so awesome!
Eh? Why the black screen?
The live video was cut off.
Go and ask your Sister Mimi! You have her QQ, right?
NeZha hastened Hong Haier. It was clear that Nezha wanted to have more fun.
Okay… Let me ask her now…
said Hong Haier, nodding.
Chen Xiaobei was quite baffled by it too. He walked towards his computer and saw a line message displayed on the screen.
[This stream has violated our rules and regulations. Thus, it is now banned. Viewers, please move to another streaming channel. More exciting content awaits you!]
Violated rules and regulations? Since when did this stream break any rules?
Chen Xiaobei was aghast. He was standing next to them all the time and he did not find any issue at all. Banning the stream raised a big question in Chen Xiaobei’s mind.
Mimi told me that underaged kids are not allowed to do stream on their platform. The moderator thought NeZha and I were streaming. That was why they locked down the whole streaming channel!
Hong Haier had received a reply from Mimi.
Underaged kids?
Chen Xiaobei froze momentarily. Seconds later, he realized how serious this problem was!
Conspiracy! This is definitely Jiang Ziya’s evil plot against us! That old man sent the two of you here to the human realm to abolish the use of streaming to recruit disciples.
NeZha and Hong Haier were smart enough to figure out the conspiracy as well.
In other words, both of us are not allowed to recruit disciples through streaming! How are we supposed to complete this Three Realm Mission?
We can’t go back to heaven if we fail to accomplish this mission! Jiang Ziya set us up!
Hong Haier frowned. The smile on his face was wiped off.
This is not possible! I’m from Chanism! There is no reason for Shishu Jiang to set me up…
said Nezha, with a puzzled expression.
God knows what is going in that old man’s mind! This is not the time to mind him! We have to look for a new way to recruit disciples as soon as possible! If not, he will definitely use this to go against us!
NeZha and Hong Haier were staring at Chen Xiaobei Xiaobei innocently.
Alright! Don’t look at me like that! I will think of a way to help you guys…
said Chen Xiaobei Xiaobei.
Yay!
The two of them were filled with joy once again. They gave each other a high-five and went back to their usual high-spirits.
Quick! Quick! Quick! Let’s tune to Bobo’s streaming channel! Let’s continue to sing and dance!
Chen Xiaobei was speechless. There was nothing he could do about them. Looking at the two of them having fun, Chen Xiaobei managed to come up with a new plan suddenly.
Singing? Dancing? I have a new plan!
He took out his cellphone immediately and called Song Qincheng, and made an appointment to meet her tomorrow morning at the film base.
Chapter 524: Visited by a Peculiar Person
Ending the call, Chen Xiaobei exited his room. Cangjin Gu was rushing towards him and said,
Bro Bei, there are assassins!
You are more than capable to deal with small fry like this! It is not necessary for you to consult me!
Chen Xiaobei’s tone was calm but a ray of iciness was reflected from the abyss of his eyes. The assassins hired by the Meichuan Family had already tracked down Chen Xiaobei’s whereabouts in Dragon City. Although they were no threat to Chen Xiaobei, they were still as annoying as mosquitoes. It seemed like Chen Xiaobei had to make a trip to Japan as soon as possible!
Other than eliminating the Meichuan Family, it was crucial to take care of the remaining matters of the Poseidon incident. Two pieces of Heavenly Dog Food and a piece of Five Thunder Paper Talisman were reserved and prepared to be used in Japan.
It is different this time. All the assassins were killed by a peculiar person,
said Cangjin Gu.
Hmm? That’s strange. Did you manage to catch a glimpse of that peculiar person?
Chen focused his stare.
Judging from his speed and power, he is definitely more powerful than me! I’m afraid this weirdo is the real True Nirvana Elite from Jianghu! He would have come at us if he is our enemy!
Where is the peculiar person? I want to meet him!
Chen Xiaobei’s look grew serious. He then took out the Nightstalker Outfit from his treasure chest. One should know that Cangjin Gu was considered as an incredibly rare genius with Half Step True Nirvana cultivation and 20,000 (+5000) combat power in Japan. If the peculiar person came with bad intentions, no one in Wolong Mansion possessed the power to defeat him.
‘Do not let your guard down!
Outside the mansion. Around one hundred meters to the east in the jungle!
Cangjin Gu provided the estimated distance. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei dashed into the jungle with his Nightstalker Outfit. Upon reaching the jungle, he saw there were two people whispering to each other. There were eight bodies on the ground. Remembering the thing that Cangjin Gu just told him, those bodies on the ground should be the assassins that tried to invade his house earlier.
The baffling part was the condition of those bodies. They were completely shriveled up. From the looks of it, it seemed they were dead for quite some time. Bewildered, Chen Xiaobei quickly recognized those two people. They had just met tonight! One of them was in his sixties, known as the richest person with an accumulated wealth of three hundred billion in Zhong State, Li Yunlin. The other person was in his twenties, known as the descendant of the Li Family, Li Xiang.
Chen Xiaobei was left in bewilderment once again when Li Yunlin spoke.
Gramps, there should be no assassins around anymore!
With his body bowed, Li Yunlin spoke in a very polite tone.
‘Gramps? A man in his sixties with extremely high respect status in the society just addressed a young man as his gramps. Staying hidden not too far from them, Chen Xiaobei could not believe the thing that he just heard. Immediately, he activated his Netherspirit Battlescouter.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000!]
That was the true strength of Li Yunlin. No one would have thought that the well-known successful businessman possessed such power!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of True Nirvana Stage. Health: 30,000. Combat power: 30,000!]
It was truly unbelievable that the powerful peculiar person that Cangjin Gu mentioned earlier was a young looking Li Xiang that was in his twenties! Chen Xiaobei’s heart sank when he realized that someone as young as Li Xiang could reach True Nirvana Stage! This was truly terrifying! Even the well-known martial art genius, Liu Chunyi achieved True Nirvana Stage when he was twenty-seven years old.
(Judging from talent and training speed, could it be Liu Chunyi is not as good as Li Xiang? No! Something is not right!)
Upon paying close attention to the shriveled bodies on the floor, Chen Xiaobei spotted there were two deep and round holes on their neck. It was like they were bitten by vampires!
(Blood descendants! Li Xiang and Li Yunlin are blood descendants!)
With this deduction in his mind, he remembered that he was the sworn enemy of blood descendants. Now, they finally made a move on him after staying silent for such a long time. The peculiar person that Cangjin Gu mentioned earlier and the way Li Yunlin addressed Li Xiang finally made sense!
Legend has it that vampires would never die of old age. The moment they turned into a vampire, they would stay with that look forever. With that being said, Li Yunlin turned into a vampire when he was in his sixties and Li Xiang should be the ancestor of the Li Family which had already lived for hundreds of years!
The power that Li Xiang possessed was not as strange anymore. So, Liu Chunyi was still the number one martial art genius in China! Though Li Xiang was not as powerful as Liu Chunyi, this vampire that lived for hundreds of years still posed a huge threat to Chen Xiaobei.
Gramps, tonight is the best time to kill Chen Xiaobei. Why didn’t you do it?
The skillset that this kid possesses is like a bottomless ocean. I feel like it wouldn’t end well if we make him our enemy!
I can’t believe the powerful Li Xiang is afraid of me!
Upon hearing Li Xiang’s comment, Chen Xiaobei felt like laughing out loud.
Skillset? Are you talking about his alchemy skill?
Right but that’s not it.
Rendered with hesitation, Li Xiang paused for a while before he continued to talk.
That kid is still so young but he can concoct those magical heavenly pills. Not even an idiot would believe that there’s no one guiding him! Also, you have checked him out before. From a random farmer that dominated the whole of Green Vine City to creating a huge stir in Dragon City! All within one year! Without the help of an erudite elite, do you think it’s possible for him to achieve so many things within such a short period of time?
According to what you said, the erudite elite that guides this kid must be extremely powerful and terrifying! Is that why you restrained yourself from killing him?
Li Xiang nodded his head to indicate that he approved with what Li Yunlin just said.
Seeing that Li Xiang was afraid of him, Chen Xiaobei was delighted.
Of course, I have someone powerful guiding me! All the deities, monsters and spirits are the ones that have been guiding me thus far! Tell me now! Should you be afraid of me?! Wahahaha!
The Red Envelope Group was the one that made Chen Xiaobei who he was today! Other than all the magical items that he received from Red Envelope Group, Chen Xiaobei finally realized that the existence of the group could be used to scare off his enemies! Even a powerful enemy like Li Xiang would not make a move on him without serious consideration.
(This is awesome!)
What should we do now? Gramps, you are the grand duke of the Deathbane Family! We will incur the king’s wrath if we fail to take care of this incident!
I know that… I’m worried that the thing that Chen Xiaobei can do to us is even scarier than our king! The whole Deathbane Family will be destroyed if we infuriate the erudite elite that guided him!
This… Who the hell is that kid… This is really terrifying…
Fear could be seen on his face as he kept on gulping mouthfuls of saliva. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei did not bother listening to their conversation anymore. Considering that Li Xiang would not do anything to his family, he then went back home to have a good rest.
‘I’m supposed to meet Sister Qincheng the next morning! I need to rest well and regain my energy. In case there are some physical activities that I require to do with her! Hehehe…
Chapter 525: Wu Zetian Reincarnated
Early the next morning, Chen Xiaobei did two things at the same time.
He took NeZha and Hong Haier to look for Song and asked Cao Zhenyang to help him purchase a top-tier jade.
Elder Cao loved jades. Once, he was willing to spend four billion to buy Chen Xiaobei’s jade sculpture and that was actually how he was became affiliated to Chen Xiaobei.
The Cao Family was very knowledgeable when it came to jades; they could find a lot good quality jade, but when they saw the workmanship on Chen Xiaobei’s jade, they immediately changed their course and made a trip to Green Vine City.
Everything would surely turn out smoothly when Cao Zhenyang was put in charge.
………
On the way to the film base, the two of them would not stop asking questions when they saw something new.
Bro Bei, why is it so gray and hazy? The sky is also gray, it feels so depressing…
NeZha crinkled his brows.
Fortunately, there’s not a trace of Demonic Qi. If not, I would’ve thought the Black Mountain Demon is here!
said Hong Haier, his mouth twitching.
This is smog, one of Dragon City’s distinguishing features.
Chen Xiaobei explained,
There’s dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other particles in the air, forming a sort of aerosol that blocks vision. Simply put, this is a kind of air pollution.
Earth’s environment is awful… No wonder my dad always says that the mortals from the lost land here are living in deep water and scorching fire…
NeZha sighed.
Isn’t that right?
Hong Haier echoed,
In heaven, the air is fresh and clean, there is not a trace of pollution. In fact, it’s full of Spiritual Qi! If Earth has even one-tenth of the Spiritual Qi, NeZha and I can improve our cultivation immediately!
Poor earthlings…
NeZha sighed again.
Yeah, what a pity…
Hong Haier also sighed.
Hey hey hey! The both of you, can you please be more sensitive to my feelings? I was born and bred here!
Chen Xiaobei protested.
But at the same time, inside there was a longing, that perhaps someday, he might be able to set foot on heaven.
When that day came, he would bring his parents, his brothers and friends, and his woman, to that surreal place!
Just thinking about it excited him!
Very quickly, they arrived at the film base.
Song was already waiting at the door. Now that Wenyuan was on the right track, everything was smooth sailing, there was no need for Song to constantly be by her side.
Wow! What a pretty lady!
NeZha exclaimed, clambering to the window.
Wow! She’s really beautiful!
Hong Haier came over, his eyes bulging.
Song wore a red and white suit, the cutting was immaculate–it made her look very adept, oozing with feminine power.
Her beautiful complexion exuded a sense of natural charm. With her hair being fluffed, one could spot her adorable earlobes that were compared to pearls. Finally, her snowy jade neck made everything go well together.
Under her collar revealed a mesmerizing collarbone, and under her skirt was a pair of slender fair legs–she did not need to put on fishnets to look sexy. Finally, she had on a pair of red heels, simple and elegant. Her beauty was enough to mesmerize every man that she met.
As they approached, Hong Haier suddenly asked,
NeZha, did you notice that that beautiful lady looks like Wu Zetian?
Oh, yeah! Exactly alike!
NeZha nodded in agreement.
What?! Wu Zetian?!
Chen Xiaobei was stunned. His Scholar Heart was short-circuited.
Wu Zetian is the most famous female emperor in history! Don’t you know that?
Hong Haier asked in disgust.
I… I… Of course I know Wu Zetian… But what do you mean by look exactly alike?
Chen Xiaobei was very unhinged.
Who knows? It’s probably just a coincidence. There are countless living beings within three realms! They must just look alike!
Hong Haier said.
There is another possibility! Wu Zetian used to train at the Underground Realm. She gave up her training twenty-seven years ago without any reason! She then went through the reincarnation process! That lady over might be the reincarnated Wu Zetian!
NeZha added,
What the fck?!
Chen Xiaobei’s hands shook, nearly causing the car to overturn.
If it were just that they look identical, then it was nothing. But the thing was, Song was about twenty-seven years old too! She was the epitome of a young MILF with extremely seductive body features!
Could it be that what NeZha said was true?
Chen Xiaobei was dumbstruck. If that was true, then he had just nearly gone to bed with an empress.
(Oh my god… This is insane!)
Whether or not she’s Wu Zetian, I’m going to hit on her first!
Hong Haier licked his lips, and said excitedly,
One can never miss a young MILF! I’m going to hit on her as hard as possible! Ouch…
Hong Haier’s head was knocked by Chen Xiaobei while he was having some exciting thoughts.
That’s my woman, you are not allowed to think of my woman like that! If not, I won’t give you a single dime!
said Chen Xiaobei gravely.
This…
Hong Haier blinked and nodded his head.
Alright… I promise you, I will not touch your woman… But you must give me more pocket money. I want to become Mimi and Bobo’s sugar daddy!
Deal. As long as you behave, money is not a problem!
Chen Xiaobei grinned.
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei knew Hong Haier’s weakness was money!
Last night, Chen Xiaobei had just given him fifty thousand, and Hong Haier had already spent it all. He was harassing Chen Xiaobei for more money.
No matter how smart Hong Haier was, he could never outsmart Chen Xiaobei when he caught his weak point!
Don’t worry, Bro Bei!
Hong Haier thumped his chest and said,
I will behave next time! If you ask me to go east, I will definitely go east. Basically, I will do whatever you ask me to do!
Mmm… Such a teachable kid!
Chen Xiaobei nodded satisfactorily.
The car came to a stop.
Song walked over with a smile on her face.
Why are looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?
How can flowers compare to you?
Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Oh you, don’t you sweet talk me! Song Qincheng gave Chen Xiaobei a look, but inside, her heart was melting.
Sister, you are so pretty!
said NeZha and Hong Haier, giggling.
It looks like you’ve already brought bad influence to someone…
Song Qincheng laughed. It was the not the laugh of an ordinary woman but the laugh of a young MILF!
So, what do you think? Can these two enter the entertainment business?
Chen Xiaobei asked.
Song surveyed them and said,
Not bad. But you said that they only know how to sing and dance and nothing else. Don’t even think about the film base, they can only go into the performing industry since they know how to dance and sing.
That’s alright. As long as they can enter the entertainment industry. Everything else is up to you,
said Chen Xiaobei.
Whether or not they can enter is not up to me,
said Song Qincheng.
Come with me, I’ll bring you to see someone really important.
Chapter 526: I Only Know How To Slap Others’ Face
NeZha and Hong Haier were so excited when they entered the film base, it was as if they had walked into a new world!
They had seen one too many historical buildings, it was nothing new to them.
But the scenery kept changing as there were many different sets: anti-Japanese, spy war, and even science fiction.
That greatly aroused their curiosity.
NeZha was intrigued, he was jumping everywhere wildly.
Hong Haier’s gaze was transfixed on the array of beautiful women in traditional costumes, army uniforms, office wear, and more. He was slowly indulging in them.
We’re here.
Song Qincheng stopped at the palace themed scene and said,
I’ll sum it up for you. In there, a huge musical rehearsal called The Grand Tale of Tang Dynasty is going on. We will be meeting the director, Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen?
Chen Xiaobei was stunned.
The director of last year’s Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Wen?
Yes, that’s her!
Song Qincheng said while nodding.
Not only is Director Zhang is responsible for the Spring Festival Gala last year, she is also often asked to direct various large-scale galas!
She is very capable! Besides that, she has a lot of connection in the performance industry. There is nothing she can’t do! Everyone in the performing industry knows that she can easily make someone famous!
NeZha and Hong Haier did not understand a word at all.
However, Chen Xiaobei was certain that as long as both of them could put on a show at the Spring Festival Gala, these two boys would surely rise to fame in the blink of an eye!
They could easily recruit three million disciples within minutes!
Also, there’s something I must clarify beforehand,
said Song Qincheng gravely.
I was only able to meet Director Zhang through my connection with Li Haopeng. That’s why, these two will have to convince her with their performance.
Mm… I understand.
Chen Xiaobei nodded.
Even though they are simple-minded, they are very talented. I believe they have a shot at this.
Alright, let’s go in,
said Song Qincheng.
They walked in a single file. Chen Xiaobei discreetly pulled NeZha to his side and whispered something to him.
Just as they set foot into the room, a voice that oozed with flattery was heard.
Oh! Isn’t that Boss Song Qincheng?
A stout man with large ears and a huge head stood afar, waving at Song Qincheng. His stare reflected his perverted aura.
Who is he?
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his gaze.
He is Shi Haoxiang, the boss of Xixiang Entertainment! The Grand Tale of Tang Dynasty is organized by his company! He also volunteered himself as the vice director!
said Song Qincheng in a soft tone.
You don’t seem to like him very much,
said Chen Xiaobei.
Mm, he had shown interest in me in the past. I was worried that he might get ideas when he heard about my divorce.
Song Qincheng creased her brows.
Come.
Chen Xiaobei raised his arm.
Song Qincheng beamed, took his arm in hers deliberately, like a pair of lovers.
When Shi saw this from afar, his face went dark. He then hurried over, and said in an uncanny manner,
Boss Song Qincheng, I heard that you had just got a divorce. How is it that you are already with someone else?
His tone indicated that he was obviously insulting Song Qincheng for being an adulterous woman.
Chen Xiaobei felt a stir of anger.
Song Qincheng merely laughed and said,
Yes. Love is really such a mystery. Boss Shi is not divorced but aren’t you always changing girlfriends every three days?
I…
Shi was lost for words.
Seeing Song Qincheng searing comeback, Chen Xiaobei could not help but chuckle.
Song Qincheng was not the kind of woman that one should mess with, it was no wonder she was able to hold her ground in the entertainment industry. She even managed to turn a shell company to become the slightly reputable Qincheng Entertainment!
Boss Shi! Don’t take it too seriously! I was just joking!
Song Qincheng was not thoughtless; she wanted to save Shi’s face.
In the industry, other than self-preservation, one must also learn not to offend other people.
Wherever a hedgehog goes, it would prick people, in the end, it would lose all its connections and be stagnant.
Haha! Boss Song Qincheng is still the same! How funny!
Shi forced a smile, even though he was filled with hatred, he dared not get himself entangled in the issue and quickly changed the subject.
So, what brought you here?
I have an appointment with Director Zhang to take a look at these kids.
Song Qincheng pointed at NeZha and Hong Haier next to her.
They want to join?
Song Qincheng squinted, pondered for a while and laughed.
Oh, then there’s no need to bother Director Zhang! Have dinner with me tonight and I will take care of it!
I’m really sorry. But I have to accompany my husband tonight!
Song Qincheng smiled sweetly and laid her head on Chen Xiaobei’s shoulder.
Seeing that charming face, getting a whiff of that feminine scent, Chen Xiaobei’s inner desire was triggered.
He thought to himself.
I know what you mean! I’m going to have some fun with you tonight!
Husband?!
Shi’s face twisted in shock.
You’re cracking a joke again! This guy must be an art student. There is a sea of young men just like him in this entertainment industry! How can he become your husband?
Shi Haoxiang!
Song Qincheng was furious. It was like someone did something that she hated the most! She said coldly,
My husband is not from the entertainment industry! You can make jokes about me, but I will not allow you to say anything about my husband! Or else, I’m going to throw a tantrum! Do you understand?
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei lit up. He knew Song Qincheng’s was gentle. At that moment, he knew Song Qincheng could be quite dominating as well!
Did you understand? Those three simple words emitted a strong dominating aura! It was like the order from a powerful person from Jianghu!
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei thought about the reincarnated Wu Zetian again. During the ancient time, Wu Zetian utilized her beauty to seduce two emperors in the Tang Dynasty. Shen then crowned herself as empress! No one would dare to disobey her during that time!
Of course, Song Qincheng was Song Qincheng! She was not Wu Zetian! Chen Xiaobei still could not see the connection.
Of course, Shi was unafraid. Instead, he barked,
Song Qincheng! What kind of attitude is this? I addressed you as Boss Song Qincheng and now you think that you are somebody?
What a joke! Your Qincheng Entertainment is only a small third-rate company. Compared to my Xixiang Entertainment, you are nothing! How dare you use that tone to talk to me? Also, everyone in this circle knows that you are a slut. You don’t have to pretend to be loyal! You insulted me for this bastard?!
Smack!
Just as he had finished talking, a slap landed on Shi Haoxiang’s fat face.
He collapsed to the ground, his face heavily swollen. When he opened his mouth, three teeth fell out and he nearly passed out from the pain.
My Qincheng will only throw a tantrum because she is kind! But I have a really bad temper and I only know how to slap the faces of others!
said Chen Xiaobei icily.
Chapter 527: Threaten To Ban You
Good one, Bro Bei! So cool!
Hong Haier and NeZha were both unafraid of anything. When they saw Chen Xiaobei slap the director, they both clapped in glee.
Also unperturbed by what had just happened, Song Qincheng’s lit up and she smiled.
My dear husband, that was really impressive!
Since being around Chen Xiaobei, she had seen thousands of people besiege a city, killing vampires within seconds, and the Tri-City Martial Art Competition.
In comparison to those, the scene before her was paltry–she was not, even in the slightest bit, intimidated.
I will not allow anyone to talk about you like that because I know that you are a pure and innocent girl!
Chen Xiaobei said affectionately.
Song Qincheng was deeply touched. So, she tiptoed and whispered into Chen Xiaobei’s ear,
I don’t want to be a little girl, I want to be your little woman!
Ah…
Chen Xiaobei’s could feel a tingle in his ears. He just wanted to do her right here.
Having caught his breath, Shi Haoxiang wasted no time letting out a loud howl,
Urgh… Help! Help me… murder…
And as one would expect, a crowd quickly gathered around them.
A few bodyguards clad in black stood by Shi Haoxiang, behind them were the actors and actresses of the musical. They must have had been on a break since everyone was idling before this and they had come over without a moment’s delay to take stock of the situation.
What happened?
Just then, a distinctive voice which startled the crowd came from behind.
It belonged to woman in her fifties. While she was plain-faced, she exuded an aura of excellence and her gaze conveyed wisdom.
She was a woman who had no need for an introduction – with just an utterance, she was able to terrify all those present一 she was Zhang Wen!
As she stood before them, everyone around her, even the CEO of the film base, Li Haopeng was overshadowed.
Director Zhang, CEO Li! You came in the nick of time!
Shi Haoxiang wailed,
Song Qincheng brought a wild man here to beat me up…look at my face…Not only am I bleeding, I’ve even lost some teeth…
When he said that, every single person in the room fixed their eyes on Chen Xiaobei.
Who the hell is that asshole? Is he deranged? He dared to hit Boss Shi!
Yeah, I know right! Not only is Boss Shi the big boss of the entertainment industry, the people behind him are even more powerful! This guy is dead!
Song Qincheng is also in deep shit! Hitting Boss Shi is like suicide!!
…
The onlookers whispered amongst themselves and looked at Chen Xiaobei with contempt and ridicule.
I think that there might be a misunderstanding here!
Li Haopeng said in an attempt to smooth things over.
Misunderstanding? My teeth are missing, how could this be just a misunderstanding? Just look at this slap marks! Would you like to get a fingerprint?
Shi Haoxiang shouted, clearly enraged.
Li Haopeng was too startled to respond.
While he was acquainted with Chen Xiaobei, there was no evidence for him to build on. Hence, it rendered him powerless.
Zhang Wen, on the other hand, glanced at Chen Xiaobei and the boys, and asked,
CEO Li, are they the ones you wanted to introduce me to?
Yes…
Li Haopeng nodded, looking rather distressed.
Song Qincheng is the boss of Qincheng Entertainment Agency. She wanted to recommend these two young men to you.
Shi Haoxiang broke in before Zhang Wen could continue,
CEO Li! Don’t blame me for not giving you face! Everyone in this circle knows that Director Zhang will not allow imperfections in her production! How dare you bring this piece of work to Director Zhang? Do you take her for a fool?
I… I didn’t know that this would happen…
Li Haopeng frowned.
He was only a mediator and had no malicious intent. However, Shi Haoxiang had managed to make him the villain.
Li Haopeng felt gravely wronged but he could not seem to find the words to explain himself.
He felt a little resentful towards Chen Xiaobei. This would not have happened if Chen Xiaobei had not laid hands on Shi Haoxiang.
Alright. I’ve seen them and I don’t want them,
Zhang Wen said icily, not wanting to waste another minute on Chen Xiaobei and his group.
Li Haopeng was speechless.
Shi Haoxiang smirked and thought to himself.
I will destroy your future! Just you wait, I will cause you so much pain! Hehe! That is what happens when you mess with me!
Seeing this unfold before her, Song Qincheng could not compose herself and implored,
Director Zhang, things are not what they seem. Please give me a chance to explain!
There’s no need to explain.
Zhang Wen looked Chen Xiaobei square in the eyes and asked,
Were you the one who hit him?
Yes, I am.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, though he showed no hint of remorse.
Even if this did not work out for them, there are always other production companies. The Chen Xiaobei today would not beg for opportunities!
Zhang Wen’s chilly gaze seemed to warm a little.
Very good. I like people who own up to their actions. However, beating people is wrong and so, I will not change my mind!
Director Zhang… I beg you…
Song Qincheng would not give up.
Chen Xiaobei, not wanting to see her get bullied like that, tugged at her small hand.
It’s alright, Qincheng. C’mon, let’s go.
Suddenly, NeZha leapt and stuck his tongue out boldly at Zhang Wen.
Yes, let’s go! We don’t have to beg her!
Hong Haier followed suit. He pursed his lips and said coolly,
Yeah, she doesn’t want us but who said that we would have had willingly followed her? She’s unreasonable and self-righteous! Who does she think she it?
At this remark, those around them felt uneasy.
Are these two insane? Do they know they are talking to?
Surely they have no idea who Director Zhang is! Or they wouldn’t dare, even if they had ten guts combined into one, to speak to her like that!
Sigh… These two are ruined. Director Zhang and Boss Shi have the power to destroy them in this industry!
That’s for sure! Just look at how dark Director Zhang’s face has turned. The whole entertainment industry would tremble if one incurs her wrath!
…
They were all bewildered by what the boys had said and done.
Li Haopeng, who had been the middleman, could feel a trickle of cold sweat run down his back. This is it. He was a dead man. When Zhang Wen was offended, no one in the entertainment industry would dare to talk to them anymore.
On the other hand, Shi Haoxiang was adding fuel to the flames.
How absurd! These two idiots have the audacity to talk to Director Zhang like that! They must be obliterated!
Shut up!
Zhang Wen ordered.
Immediately, Shi Haoxiang shut his mouth.
Why do you say that I am being unreasonable and self-righteous?
Zhang Wen looked at the two teenagers, both about fourteen or fifteen, and said humorlessly,
If you can give me a reasonable explanation, I will apologize to you! If not, you will not be able to enter the entertainment industry!
Xiaobei…
Song Qincheng panicked. From what she’s seeing, NeZha and Hong Haier were just acting out on their anger irrationally, what logical reason could they possibly have?
If they could not explain, then they would be banned from entering the entertainment industry for the rest of their life.
Chen Xiaobei was, as usual, strangely calm and might even be quite eager as he replied,
Don’t worry. They are not stupid! Let’s see what these two have up their sleeves.
Chapter 528: A Successful Turnaround
All the attention was landed on NeZha and Hong Haier.
I guess both of them are still high school students! I don’t think they can come up with any good reasons to explain themselves! Clearly, they are acting in a fit of pique!
They have no one to blame but themselves! Their upbringings are absolutely terrible! How can they defame Director Zhang?!
That’s right! Folks from the entertainment industry know Director Zhang’s personality well enough! They are going to be banned from setting their foot in the entertainment industry for incurring her wrath!
……
The crowd was discussing this issue among themselves. No one would believe in NeZha and Hong Haier other than Chen Xiaobei. To the crowd, both of them were just a pair of high school kids! Forgiveness should not be bestowed upon them since they defamed Director Zhang without any solid reasons.
You want to know the reason? Let me tell you!
Meanwhile, Hong Haier came forward with one of his arms akimbo and pointed at Shi Haoxiang.
This fat fck sexually harassed our sister-in-law earlier!
Hong Haier uttered furiously.
What?!
Attention from the crowd locked on to Shi Haoxiang immediately.
I did not…Since when did I sexually harass her?
A stunned look could be seen on Shi Haoxioang’s face.
You pulled some lecherous deeds but you have no balls to admit it! Do not call yourself a real man! This fat fck berated that my brother is a boytoy! He insisted that my sister-in-law should go out to have a meal with him! He then started to act inappropriately after my sister-in-law said no to him! What a punk! No man can stand aside and watch their woman being sexually harassed! My brother was forced to teach him a lesson by beating him up!
Hearing this, the crowd’s reaction changed.
So, the truth has been unveiled! I’m not surprised… Boss Shi is infamous for his lecherous behavior! He always takes advantage of actresses around him!
He crossed the line when he took advantage of the lady in front of her boyfriend! I will not be able to control my anger if I am in his shoes!
He deserves that slap!
Stop spouting nonsense! Do you want to be banned from entering the entertainment industry too?
………
Shi Haoxiang’s personality was well known among the crowd. Although Hong Haier made up some parts of the story, the crowd trusted him fully. Clearly, Shi Haoxiang was no decent man. No one felt surprised that he took advantage of a lady.
The time was right for Li Haopeng to strike at Shi Haoxiang after suppressing his anger for quite some time.
You, Shi Haoxiang! How dare you bring suit against the victim! You are the one at fault! However, you accused the folks that I recommended being problematic! Your face is thick enough to deflect bullets!
Shi Haoxiang! I remember I told you that it’s none of my business that you behave promiscuously outside your workplace! Do I look invisible to you?! How dare you screw around under my nose?
Zhang Wen’s face turned dark within seconds.
Chen Xiaobei gave Hong Haier a thumbs up when he saw what he did to Shi Haoxiang.
(This kid is a true meanie! I like it!)
Song Qincheng was smart enough to play along with him. She immediately put on a sad look to make the whole thing looked more legit.
I don’t dare… I wouldn’t dare to screw around under your nose even if I have ten guts with me…
Shi Haoxiang’s body shook in fear. He then continued to defend himself.
I’m not screwing around! I can swear to god. I’m not…
I dare you to swear to god! Tell the crowd that you did not berate my brother as boytoy! Tell the crowd that you do not possess any lecherous thought towards my sister-in-law! Don’t lie with your eyes wide open! Your face is so damn thick!
Hong Haier scolded angrily.
I… I did not! This kid is a troll! His mouth is so full of shit! Do you really think the crowd will believe in you?!
Shi Haoxiang was bewildered. Hong Haier was telling the truth but he denied all of them.
I’m a troll? Fine! I should let my little brother do the talking! He is a good boy! Lying is never his kind of thing!
Immediately, Hong Haier pushed NeZha forward. From Hong Haier’s face and temperament, one could tell that a sense of heroic spirit emanated from him. Though he might look slightly rebellious, he was undeniably a truly adorable kid. To others, he definitely looked like a good kid!
That fat fck bullied my sister-in-law! I’m definitely not lying!
NeZha stepped slightly forward and blinked his crystal clear huge eyes. His innocent look managed to convince the crowd to believe in his words. At the same time, he activated his cuteness-overload-aura to enhance his charm greatly. Looking cute was one of his greatest traits; everyone melted when his wave of cuteness came crashing on them.
This kid is adorable! How is it possible for a cute kid like him to lie to us?
That’s right! Looked at his innocent and sinless gaze! He is definitely a good kid!
I will believe in him no matter what!
…….
The crowd was still discussing this matter. Between a lecherous infamous old punk and a cute looking and innocent child; people chose the latter one decisively. And, NeZha was not lying. Of course, Shi Haoxiang would never admit to the accusations.
He gritted his teeth and roared in a heated tone.
You are lying! You don’t even have any solid evidence to support your claim! This is some pure bullshit! I will never let you guys off the hook easily! I want to ban you guys from stepping into the entertainment industry!
Shut up!
Zhang Wen beamed at Shi Haoxiang chilly. She then said seriously,
You are a reputable individual in the entertainment industry. Don’t you feel shameless for getting into a fight with a kid?! I’m going to put a stop to this matter! I don’t mind banning you from stepping foot into the entertainment industry if you mess with them!
I…
Shi Haoxiang’s anus clenched. Cold sweat started to perspire from his forehead. He knew clearly that Zhang Wen had the power to exile him from the entertainment industry. She was the one that directed the Spring Festival Gala; undeniably, her power, background, and connection were extraordinary! Shi Haoxiang could never afford to offend an individual like her! It seemed there was nothing he could do about the slap that landed on his face earlier.
Yes… Yes… Yes… Director Zhang is right. I will follow her will no matter what… I’m going to make a trip to the medical bay…Carry on with whatever you guys want to do…
Shi Haoxiang was despondent. He then looked for an excuse to flee the scene. The crowd could not care less about him too.
Zhang Wen’s face looked slightly calmer. She then looked at NeZha and Hong Haier.
Both of you are right! I was being unreasonable throughout this whole incident! I, officially apologize to you guys right here and right now,
said Zhang Wen seriously.
Everyone was blown away after witnessing Zhang Wen apologizing to them. However, they were not surprised by it. Clearly, this was Zhang Wen’s personality. People around her would have feared of her if she only used her authority to pressure others. Power was not the only thing that she hung on to; being upright was how she gained respect from others. Evidently, it was not a coincidence that she could get to where she was today.
Boss Li, could you please explain Boss Song’s current situation to me again?
Zhang Wen asked in a deep tone.
Okay!
Li Haopeng was delighted. He was honored that Zhang Wen finally approved of him.
Everyone, please come over here!
Zhang Wen said politely.
Chen Xiaobei and Song Qincheng looked at each other and smiled. This game-changing outcome was definitely a pleasant surprise. Everything went really smooth after that. NeZha and Hong Haier were relatively new to the entertainment industry but their talents made up for their lack of experience. Mastering the art of performance was just a matter of time for them if Zhang Wen was willing to guide them. Also, they would not make the same mistake!
One of the most important traits of performers is being fearless in front of the audiences. There is a saying; newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
Pretty good! The two of them are like a piece of jade waiting to be crafted into a nice piece of art! Sooner or later, they will definitely shine bright like a diamond!
Zhang Wen did not hide her admiration towards the two of them. However, she still had some doubts.
I feel like there is something lacking between the two of them!
Chapter 529: Rejected Zhang Wen
What was lacking?
It was a nerve breaking moment for them. They thought there was something Zhang Wen did not like about them.
Don’t be nervous. I’m happy with them. What I’m trying to say is one more person is needed to join them! I want to turn them into a teenager superstar group! However, the number two doesn’t sound nice. Others might take this opportunity to write something bad about them! This is why I insisted to have a three-people-group!
Easy! Just recruit my brother to our group!
Immediately, Hong Haier recommended Chen Xiaobei to become part of their group.
Right! Right! Right! Brother Xiaobei, join us!
NeZha clapped his hands non-stop, looking forward to Chen Xiaobei joining them. Immediately, everyone placed their attention on Chen Xiaobei. The way Zhang Wen looked at Chen Xiaobei was rather different. Song Qincheng was smart enough to notice Zhang Wen’s intention.
Director Zhang, do you recognize Xiaobei from somewhere?
Yes. Recently, those internet sensations are making a name for themselves. I can see there are many new faces but there are only so few of them that possess real talent! Among those internet sensations with real talent, I was impressed by the guy that sang Wukong. His thrilling voice still reverberates in my heart after so long!
Wukong? What is Director Zhang trying to say?
Most of the people around her were bewildered.
Of course, the smart ones among them recalled the event.
Now, I remember! Earlier, a video clip went viral on Weibo! A young man sang a song called Wukong!
Right! It’s him! I can remember it as well!
Is Director Zhang planning to bring him to enter the world of the entertainment industry?
This kid is actually quite handsome! And, his voice is really good too! His future should be boundless and extremely promising since Director Zhang has eyes on him!
He will definitely become very famous! I’m so envious of him!
….
The crowd was dumbfounded. Looking at Chen Xiaobei’s changed gaze, the fire of envy was about to burn among the crowd. A golden opportunity like this was like a dream for every person that worked in the entertainment industry. They were thinking if someday Zhang Wen threw them a stick of hope, all of them would definitely rush at her and hug her legs with a crying face. One could avoid working hard for at least twenty years if the person was supported by Zhang Wen. Moreover, there was literally no one who did not get famous under her guidance!
Xiaobei! You are so lucky!
Song Qincheng’s bewitching eyes were beaming at Chen Xiaobei dazzlingly. It was important for one to know that there were countless of people in the entertainment industry who cried and begged Zhang Wen to provide them with a golden opportunity but she could not care less about them. Nobody would have thought that she had her eyes on Chen Xiaobei! It seemed like luck was on his side today!
However, just when everyone thought Chen Xiaobei would say yes and show his utmost gratitude to Zhang Wen, Chen Xiaobei gave a reply that made everyone lose their minds!
I just sang for fun. Entering the entertainment industry has never crossed my mind,
said Chen calmly.
Everyone around him lost his or her composure immediately. No one would believe that Chen just rejected Zhang Wen’s offer! It was no different from giving up a golden opportunity!
Why?
Zhang Wen herself was really surprised as well. Working in the entertainment industry for twenty years, Chen Xiaobei was definitely the first person that rejected her offer.
Because I’m a busy man!
said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging.
Everyone around him had their minds blown after hearing his reply.
Busy? What kind of lame excuse is this?
Most of the people work their ass off for fame and money! One can possess unlimited fame and money after becoming a superstar in the future! It’s definitely better than whatever you have right now!
I think he is just trying to act tough! He is going to regret it when he has his mind cleared!
Young man! Listen to my advice! You are going to cry yourself to sleep if you continue acting tough!
……..
The crowd could not bear to see Chen Xiaobei giving up on a golden opportunity like this. Acting restless, the crowd felt more nervous than Chen Xiaobei. However, Chen Xiaobei was shaken by their comments It seemed he did not plan to change his mind.
Even Zhang Wen could not sit still anymore. She took the initiative and said,
Are you worrying about something? I can promise you that you can definitely become successful in this entertainment industry!
One could see that Zhang Wen really admired Chen Xiaobei. She would have given up long time ago, if it were others that rejected her offer. Hearing Zhang Wen’s reply, the crowd grew even more envious of Chen Xiaobei.
‘What did he do to deserve such luck in his life?
Director Zhang, I hereby thank you for your good will. Now, I’m really a busy man. I will consider your offer when I become more available in the future,
said Chen Xiaobei with a shrug. His attitude did not change at all.
The crowd was left flabbergasted.
‘This kid really likes to act cool!
Only Chen Xiaobei knew better than anyone that he was truly busy and he did not need the help of the entertainment industry to gain fame and money. He might consider playing as a side character in the future again if he had the time to do so. However, it would never become his main job.
On the other hand, Zhang Wen was left with mixed feelings. She had no intention to force Chen Xiaobei to accept her offer.
Take your time to consider about it. Let’s get back to serious business. I still need one more person to join them. Do you have any person in mind that can fill his spot?
Song Qincheng shook her head.
The scale of our company is not that big. I don’t think my celebrities are fit to fill this role…
I have someone in mind!
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took out his cellphone and made a call to Lin Nan.
‘This kid’s look shares the same genetic result with Lin Xiang. He can be considered as a hunk too! Also, he is my future brother-in-law. Good stuff like this must be shared with him!’
Lin Nan burst with euphoria after Chen Xiaobei told him that he could become a superstar. He told Chen Xiaobei that he would come to him immediately. Right after that, Chen Xiaobei made another call to Lin Xiang. It turned out that she did not mind at all. Getting a real job like this is better than being a lazy goof.
I just contacted the person that can fill this role. He will be here in a while. Director Zhang, you should continue with your rehearsal. I will bring him to you once he arrives here.
Alright! I shall bring Li Sanqian (NeZha) and Hong Yin (Hong Haier) with me!
I’m sorry to trouble you! Feel free to scold and beat them if they do something wrong! Don’t spoil them!
I don’t think I can ever beat or scold them! They are after all so adorable! Though I might look fierce outside, I’m actually a very gentle person!
Zhang Wen smiled and waved her hand.
Both of you, come with me.
NeZha and Hong Haier were fearless. Two of them made a wry face and showed it to Chen Xiaobei. They then held Zhang Wen’s hands and left the place.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei held Song Qincheng’s hand and left the place as well.
What the hell are you thinking? How can you give up a golden opportunity like that! I would have said yes to Director Zhang if I was in your place!
Song Qincheng’s eyes were filled envious aura. She truly felt that the opportunity was wasted.
Becoming a superstar is meaningless to me! I aim for something higher and bigger!
There was no one around them.
Just give me some time. I will make your Qincheng Entertainment Agency become the best in the entertainment industry! Soon, you will be able to enjoy the same position as Zhang Wen!
Song Qincheng was awestruck. After putting some thought into it, she finally remembered that this was the ambitious Chen Xiaobei that she knew! The one that had the power to summon thousands of people! His reputation had spread across Crimson Cloud City and other cities! A man with a few billion dollars worth of assets would never lower himself down to become a superstar!
I know you are planning to place me on top of the entertainment industry. What about yourself?
I will always be on top of you no matter how high you get!
Chen Xiaobei licked his lips and smiled wickedly.
On top of me? Damn it…You are a bad boy…
Song Qincheng was no innocent girl. She could understand Chen Xiaobei’s wordplay immediately. Tiptoeing, Song Qincheng blew into Chen Xiaobei’s ears and said seductively,
Let me be on top. All you need to do is to lie down!
Uh…
A kiss landed on Song Qincheng’s lips before she could finish her sentence.
Chapter 530: I’m Going To Act Tough And Show You
Uh… Not here… Things are going to get complicated if others see us… Let’s go to other place and continue our hanky-panky…
Song Qingcheng was feeling breathless from all that kissing. Losing strength, she laid on Chen Xiaobei’s chest.
What a lascivious lady. I find it hard to believe that you want to continue our unfinished business,
said Chen Xiaobei in a teasing tone.
Don’t you know that? Women are always more lustful than men! I’m going to make sure to pop your cherry today!
Immediately, Song Qincheng’s stunning face turned red. She was no demure lady; a soft bite was landed on Chen Xiaobei’s earlobe right afterward.
I don’t think you will have the chance to pop my cherry today…
Chen Xiaobei frowned.
Why?
Someone is holding grudge against us. The person wanted to make sure we pay for what we had done to him!
Chen Xiaobei glanced at his back to indicate that there was someone behind him.
Shi Haoxiang is following us?
Song Qincheng was smart enough to catch Chen Xiaobei’s thought. Fear could not get hold of her. On the contrary, she laughed and said,
This idiot has no idea how powerful my little brother is! Shit is about to hit the fan if he has the guts to mess with us!
Yea…Let’s bring him to look for some shit since he is keen to take shit onto himself!
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and started to walk with Song Qincheng. Behind them, there was a group of people tailing them secretly; waiting to ambush them at a quieter place.
Boss! They just entered the male toilet!
Some time after, a bodyguard in a black outfit reported.
Hmph! I knew it! Song Qincheng is just another lewd woman! Lust had taken ahold of her early in the morning! Let’s go in! We shall take turns to have fun with her! Surely, all of us here can satisfy her sexual desire!
Shi Haoxiang put on a lecherous smile and swung his hands. Likewise, the rest of the other five bodyguards in black did the same. However, they saw no love-making scene when they entered the toilet. Only Chen Xiaobei’s evil smile was in sight.
Son of a bitch! How can you smile when you are about to be killed by us?!
Shi Haoxiang glared at him. The last bodyguard that entered the toilet locked the door behind him.
I’m here to use the toilet. Why would I die here?
Chen Xiaobei put on a relaxing smile.
Song Qincheng had no idea about the thing that Chen Xiaobei was about to do. However, she was not afraid at all; clinging on Chen Xiaobei’s arm made her felt really safe even if the sky came crashing down on her.
Motherfcker! Don’t try to act dumb in front of us! Do you really think you can get away after you landed a slap on my face?!
Shi Haoxiang roared furiously. He could still feel the lingered pain on his face.
So, you are here to avenge yourself? Earlier, Director Zhang mentioned that you are not allowed to take any action against us! Aren’t you afraid of her getting angry over your vengeful action?
Chen narrowed his gaze.
Fear? Of course, I’m afraid of her! However, she wouldn’t get wind of this incident if the two of you here don’t tell her about it!
Shi Haoxiang put on a hideous smile.
Do you really think we are idiots? Try to mess with us and we will definitely tell Director Zhang about it!
Alright! Go ahead and try! Maybe you should give Director Zhang a call now! Do it and I will use all my power to bring Qincheng Entertainment Agency down! And, we will see who is the one that gets to breathe till the end!
A distressed look could be seen on Song Qincheng’s face. She was getting really nervous. Clearly, she knew that Shi Haoxiang’s Xi Xiang Entertainment Agency was one of the top companies in the entertainment industry. A number of famous celebrities were working for him. That being said, Shi Haoxiang was well connected and powerful. Anyone who laid their hands on his profit would incur his wrath; resulted in a full-scale war! A small company like Qincheng Entertainment Agency could only wait to be crushed without being able to defend itself.
What now? You don’t have the guts to make that call? Everybody from the entertainment industry knows that Song Qincheng cares a lot about the company that she started from scratch! Also, that is your biggest weakness! I don’t think you’re bold enough to go on a full-scale war with me! Hmph!
Shi Haoxiang said with a laugh.
No wonder you have the balls to come to us! It seems like you have everything planned out well!
Cut the crap! Trash like you is not even qualified to fight me! Kneel and crawl towards me if you are a smart man! If not, I will make sure you stay crippled for the rest of your life!
Damn! I’m soooo scared!
Chen Xiaobei was exceptionally calm. He even felt like laughing out loud.
The more reason you should kneel in front of me if you are afraid of me! Don’t just stand there!
Shi Haoxaing roared angrily. He then turned around and gawked at Song Qincheng with a lecherous look. With a threatening tone, he said,
You little bitch! Take off your skirt right now and lie on the basin! If not, I will make sure your Qincheng Entertainment Agency closes down very soon!
Hubby! Go and deal with that fat fck!
Song Qincheng mewled.
She could feel the anger rushing through her veins.
I don’t dare to approach him! He is just too powerful! Five bodyguards over there and I will definitely be beaten to death…
Chen Xiaobei’s mouth twitched while saying that in a pitiful manner.
Hahaha…What a coward! He can’t even protect his woman! This is no real man!
Ain’t that right? This guy is just another piece of garbage! He is unworthy to become the partner of a masterpiece like Song Qincheng!
Lil’ filth! Kneel and crawl towards our boss now! Let our boss slap you to death!
…
All the five bodyguards were laughing at the same time.
Shi Haoxiang was delighted. He then said in a taunting tone,
You motherfcker! Earlier, you beat me up real good! Now, you’re scared shitless when you see my bodyguards! I dare you to act tough in front of me one more time! Fcking trash!
Smooch
Song Qincheng stood on the tip of her toes and landed a pleasant kiss on Chen Xiaobei’s face. She then asked,
Have you mustered enough courage to deal with them?
Yea. Better now. I need something extra.
Chen Xiaobei put on an evil smile.
Song Qincheng then glared at Chen Xiaobei playfully and planted another kiss on his lips. A pair of fair and long legs, sensuous buttocks, slim waistline, and passionate red lips were best to describe Song Qincheng. Looking at the masterpiece in front of them, Shi Haoxiang and his bodyguards were extremely jealous. They could not wait to kick Chen Xiaobei away and take his place.
So fragrant! I feel like I’m filled with power!
Chen Xiaobei licked his lips; he had a look of pleasure on his face.
Meanie! Do and take them out now!
Song Qincheng purred.
Yes ma’am!
Chen Xiaobei grinned and walked towards them.
Motherfcker! My boss asked you to crawl towards him! Kneel right now!
One of the bodyguards walked towards Chen Xiaobei indignantly with his sleeves rolled up and said with a threatening tone,
It seems like you really want a few slaps on your face! I’m going to slap you to death if you still refuse to kneel down now…
SLAP
A loud slapping sound echoed in the air before the bodyguard finished his sentence. However, Chen Xiaobei was the one that took the initiative to slap the bodyguard first.
Mm…
Hearing the agonizing howl shrilled in the air, the bodyguard was tossed and landed on a urinal; smashing it in the process. Blood and teeth sputtered from his mouth. Immediately, he passed out before he could say anything else.
This… What the hell is going on?
Shi Haoxiang and the rest of the four bodyguards were stumped. It was really terrifying for a person to possess this kind of arm strength to slap a person into a coma.
‘Where is the coward?’
‘Where is that trash?’
‘How can this kid be so formidable?’
‘This defies the law of science!’
You… Don’t come near me…
Shi Haoxiang was freaking out and drenched in cold sweat.
Chen Xiaobei then laughed mockingly and said,
I thought you insisted that I should continue to act tough? I’m going to act tough in front of you right now!
