Chapter 351 Even the little monkey was confused
Long Aotian never expected that Hua Xue Ning had grown so much after leaving him.
Even though she was only at the beginner level of the Upper Four Gates, her speed seemed even faster than before.
Of course.
Hua Xue Ning didn't like the bustle of big cities. Every time Lu Chengwen took her into town, she would feel uneasy, irritable, and resistant.
Lu Chengwen didn't want her to be unhappy, so he let her stay home and watch over the house.
She was very happy. Every day, she would practice martial arts at home, take care of the house, and wait for Lu Chengwen to return.
The moment Lu Chengwen came home every day was the happiest moment for Hua Xue Ning.
As soon as Lu Chengwen's car pulled in, she would dash down from the second floor, following the fastest route she had figured out for herself, and rush straight to the gate, grinning as she watched Lu Chengwen's car enter the courtyard.
Every day, Lu Chengwen brought her small gifts.
A skewer of candied hawthorn, a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts, a bracelet, a hairpin…
With a good mood and plenty of free time, she didn't bother with housework.
So, all her focus was spent on martial arts practice every day.
Her progress was astonishing!
She had made another small breakthrough in developing the power of Swift Lightning Inheritance, and her strength was now incomparable to before.
Although Long Aotian's level and talent were still far above Hua Xue Ning's, dealing with her quickly had become quite difficult.
And the situation was chaotic!
He was most afraid of chaotic situations!
Every time things got messy, he suffered the most!
So he needed the situation to become clear as soon as possible, and the only battle power he could control—Luo Shiyin—became especially important!
But right now, at this very moment, Luo Shiyin was… in battle.
…
On the mountain.
Jiang Xiao Hou kicked his snow-white little legs around. "This is so fun! How did all these people end up together? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Lu Chengwen, you're something else!"
Jiang Xiao Hou turned around. "I used to… you know, pretend to be weak on purpose. I'd wait until my enemies bullied me to the limit, and then I'd counter-kill them. Seeing their shocked, regretful, and confused expressions… that's what really got me off!"
His subordinates looked awkward and could only force out a laugh.
Jiang Xiao Hou grabbed one of his men by the collar. "But Lu Chengwen! The way he plays is way too thrilling! His style—this is the most exciting show I've ever seen!"
Jiang Xiao Hou grinned fiercely, pulling his subordinate closer. "I have a feeling! The ultimate climax will definitely be brought to me by Lu Chengwen! Hahaha… This is too exhilarating! Hahahaha…"
His subordinate quickly stepped back and sighed in relief.
At least when this demon prince was in a good mood, he wouldn't go looking for trouble.
Lu Chengwen, you're done for.
Now that our prince has set his sights on you, your future… sigh.
Jiang Xiao Hou thought for a moment. "That… that idiot, what's his name again?"
"Chu Bai."
"Right, did you let him go?"
"Yes."
"Catch him again."
"Huh?"
"Catch him again."
"…Okay."
…
Chu Bai was caught and beaten up again.
He didn't even know who had taken him, nor did he know what they wanted. They just… hit him whenever he moved. Even asking a question would get him beaten.
The worst thing for a captive was exactly this.
At least tell me something, right? Tell me who you are, what you want, what I need to do, or how I can solve this problem.
But they wouldn't say anything! And they wouldn't let him ask!
Asking just got him beaten.
Chu Bai was terrified and frustrated, knowing absolutely nothing.
After taking a few rounds of beatings, he was suddenly released.
The captors couldn't even be bothered to talk to him and just told him to get lost.
Were there really people in this world who treated others like this?
This was outrageous!
But their strength was absolutely terrifying. He didn't even know how many levels above him they were.
Humiliated, he ran away, cursing as he went:
"It has to be Lu Chengwen! Lu Chengwen, you son of a— No, wait, if Lu Chengwen knew people this strong, he wouldn't have been caught by me before!"
"These people are insane! Completely insane! They grabbed me for no reason, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just beat me up."
"Did they grab the wrong person? Yeah, that must be it."
"Well, at least they finally figured it out and let me go. I got to keep my life!"
"As long as I'm still breathing, Lu Chengwen! This isn't over between us!"
At that moment, a hand patted him on the shoulder.
"What now?"
"Come back."
"Big bro, what's going on now?"
"Don't know."
"You don't know!?"
"Less talking, more moving. Unless you wanna get beaten again? Here's some rope—tie yourself up."
Chu Bai nearly cried. "Big bro, at least tell me why!"
"The less you know, the safer you are. Hurry up and stop talking."
Chu Bai was furious. "Do you even see me as a human!?"
Smack! His captor gave him a hard slap. "No."
Chu Bai nodded. "Just my hands, right, bro?"
And so, not even ten minutes after escaping, Chu Bai was captured again.
He still knew nothing.
…
Luo Shiyin had just started to leave when A'Xiao grabbed her sleeve. "No! Don't go!"
"A'Xiao, let me go. I am just a floating duckweed in the wind, drifting wherever the currents take me."
A'Xiao gritted his teeth. "It's just Long Aotian! It's not like I haven't fought him before!"
"You're not his match. Don't go!"
"If I kill him, you can be with Lu Chengwen. You love Lu Chengwen, don't you?"
"I… A'Xiao, this is a matter between the three of us. You shouldn't get involved."
A'Xiao roared, "I love you! So this has everything to do with me! Ah—Long Aotian! @%# your mother!"
Long Aotian suddenly turned his head, stunned to see an enraged man charging at him with a sword.
"Support what!?"
Long Aotian quickly turned back and fought Ah Xiao.
"Luo Shiyin! What's wrong with him!? Why is he still attacking me when you controlled him!?"
Luo Shiyin said, "I didn't control him!"
Long Aotian was furious: "Catch Lu Chengwen for me!"
Long Aotian forced Ah Xiao back with a palm strike and charged straight at Lu Chengwen.
Seeing this, Lu Chengwen turned and ran.
Nearby, Ah Hu saw this and shouted, "Do not harm my master! Your Majesty, do not fear, Ah Hu is coming!"
Ah Hu and Ah Xiao joined forces to fight Long Aotian.
Lu Chengwen held Hua Xue'ning's hand: "Xue'ning, are you okay?"
Hua Xue'ning blushed: "I'm fine... There are so many people here, you… don't be like this..."
"Oh no, your hand, did it get pricked? I'll take you for surgery tomorrow."
"Ugh, let go! So annoying!"
At this moment, Luo Shiyin walked over.
Lu Chengwen and Hua Xue'ning immediately stood properly and looked at her.
Luo Shiyin glanced back at Long Aotian, who was still fighting fiercely.
At this moment, Long Aotian and Luo Shiyin were on the same side!
Dangkou was on his own side!
Fubo, and the four brothers Huxiao and Longyin thought they were on the same side as Lu Chengwen!
Heh, what a chaotic battle!
Fubo and Ah Long, Ah Yin, and the three others were fighting Dangkou , trying to take him down as soon as possible.
Ah Xiao and Ah Hu were fighting Long Aotian together—Ah Xiao for love, Ah Hu for the emperor.
Ah Yin saw Ah Hu and Ah Xiao ganging up on Long Aotian, but he couldn't interfere.
He knew that if he went over, Long Aotian would want to kill him first.
So, he ignored it. He couldn't deal with it anyway. The priority was to kill Dangkou first.
Dangkou was furious!
Previously, Ah Yin was always advocating for peace between both sides, but now? Finally showing your fangs? Aren't you also trying your best to kill me!?
Luo Shiyin looked at Lu Chengwen, cleared her throat, and said, "Lu Chengwen, you caused my young master's investment to fail. Today is your death day!"
Hua Xue'ning panicked: "Sister Shiyin, you..."
Lu Chengwen immediately pulled her back: "Alright! Catch me then!"
Then, he turned around and ran.
Looking back, he shouted, "Xue'ning, keep up!"
Hua Xue'ning immediately understood. With just a glance from Luo Shiyin, she got it.
So, this was all just pretend fighting, huh! I knew it!
Hmm... Master has Sister Shiyin protecting him, so it should be fine.
I'll go get my money back!
Hua Xue'ning sprang forward, pointing her sword at Fubo : "Pay me back!"
Fubo was so scared his scalp tingled, dodging in a panic: "When did I ever owe you money!?"
Hua Xue'ning angrily said, "One hundred and twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents!"
Fubo nearly choked to death.
He turned his head and saw Lu Chengwen dashing toward the villa, with Luo Shiyin chasing after him, shouting: "Lu Chengwen! You can't escape! Hand over the Lustful Woman Pill!"
Long Aotian, still fighting fiercely, roared, "What did she just tell him to hand over!?"
Ah Hu said, "Worry about yourself! Take this sword!"
Ah Xiao's attacks became even fiercer, every strike ruthless.
Long Aotian deflected Ah Xiao's sword with a palm and roared angrily: "What the hell grudge do I have with you!? Did you take some aphrodisiac!?"
Ah Xiao gritted his teeth: "For her, you must die!"
"What the hell!?"
Dangkou dodged and suddenly appeared next to Long Aotian.
"Young Master! The situation is dire right now. We are outnumbered and should join forces to fight against the others!"
Long Aotian nodded: "Alright!"
Then, with a loud smack, he struck Dangkou's chest with his palm.
"We still haven't settled the Frozen Fish debt, dumbass!"
Dangkou , severely injured, gritted his teeth: "Dumbass, you can play by yourself then!"
He turned to escape, but Ah Yin chased after him with merciless sword strikes! On the other side, Ah Long also pursued him:
"Trying to run? You must die today!"
Long Aotian roared, "King's Tyrannical Anti-God! Activate!"
Ah Hu shouted, "Big brother! You see that, right? Long Aotian never lets go of grudges! Dangkou only beat him with a few frozen fish, and look at this! We have no way out now! Following His Majesty means we get to eat meat!"
Fubo , still entangled with Hua Xue'ning, struggled to dodge: "I'll pay you back later! At least let me find time to get the money!"
"Master told me not to believe a word from you guys!"
"Goddamn it!"
Ah Xiao shouted, "Long Aotian is too strong! No weaknesses at all!"
Ah Hu yelled, "Go for his ass! Focus attacks! Don't hit anything else, just go for his ass! His ass is his weakness!"
Long Aotian was furious: "Ah Hu! You will die!"
Ah Hu also roared: "Your auntie will definitely come!"
...
On the mountain top.
The subordinates were all dumbfounded, craning their necks, completely bewildered.
Jiang Xiaohou was counting on his fingers:
"Fubo and Dangkou are fighting over money, and only one of them can live. Hua Xue'ning is fighting Fubo over one hundred and twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents. Ah Xiao is fighting Long Aotian because of love, Ah Hu is fighting Long Aotian because he wants the team to follow Lu Chengwen. Ah Yin originally wanted to fight Long Aotian, but now he has to kill Dangkou first!"
"And... Long Aotian seems to have a grudge against everyone. From what I heard, everyone has beaten him up before, and his weakness is his ass..."
"But Luo Shiyin is Long Aotian's subordinate, and the order was to capture Lu Chengwen alive. Lu Chengwen ran to the villa, and she followed him. Why didn't Hua Xue'ning go to protect him?"
Jiang Xiaohou turned to look at his subordinates: "This is such a mess! I can't figure it out! Have you figured it out?"
"Uh..."
The subordinates looked troubled: "Your Highness, I think… even Lu Chengwen himself can't figure it out."
Jiang Xiaohou thought for a moment: "That Chu Bai…"
"Kill him?"
"Let him go."
