Qí Měisháo finally arrived.
She had been working overtime in the office of the Great Saint Group, wanting to go over the accounts one more time.
Upon receiving the message, she immediately drove over, but got stuck in traffic for a while on the way.
As soon as she arrived near the scene, she saw several cars blocking the road ahead. The air was filled with deafening shouts and curses, with everyone seemingly eager to tear their opponents apart with just their words.
Qí Měisháo knew something had happened and quickly rushed into the battlefield.
She kicked Āhǔ away and supported Lóng Àotiān. "Young Master!"
Lóng Àotiān was furious to the extreme. "I... I'm going to fight them to the death!"
The balance was instantly broken.
Originally, the three of them had already struggled to suppress Lóng Àotiān. Now, with Qí Měisháo joining in, Fùbō squad immediately halted their assault and gathered together.
The Dàngkòu was seriously injured and wanted to retreat.
Not a single person here was on the same page as him.
Suddenly, he couldn't understand—how had things come to this?
When they set out, the six of them had been in perfect agreement. Everything had been planned meticulously!
Beat Lù Chéngwén, break both his legs, torment him, get the money…
So how did the situation change as soon as they arrived?
Where was Lù Chéngwén?
The other five were equally bewildered.
Just one Lóng Àotiān—before, they had needed all their brothers working together just to suppress and beat him down.
Even then, they still couldn't kill him. The guy was ridiculously tough!
Now that Dàngkòu had fallen out with them, and Lóng Àotiān had even gained reinforcements…
This was bad!
Āyín leaned in close to Fùbō . "Big Brother, Dàngkòu is already wavering, but Lóng Àotiān has gained a fresh fighter. However, Lóng Àotiān's main target is Lù Chéngwén, while we absolutely cannot let Dàngkòu escape. We should hunt him down. Otherwise, if he makes it back and reports, we'll have to take the fall for everything!"
Āhǔ said, "No! We should help President Lù take out Lóng Àotiān! Then we grab that little chick, strip her down, and present her to President Lù! Big Brother, even if Dàngkòu makes it back, he won't be able to explain himself. But if we defeat Lóng Àotiān and take President Lù's money, we can return and help finalize the organization's partnership with him. That wouldn't be a failure—it'd be a success. Dàngkòu is just an idiot who lost fifty billion. The strategist won't listen to a word he says."
Fùbō looked at Ālóng.
Ālóng hesitated. "I… I'm fine with either option…"
Fùbō nodded. "What about Āxiào?"
The four of them looked around—Āxiào was already running toward the villa.
Āyín said, "Big Brother, you need to make the decision."
…
Over at the villa, Huá Xuěníng pushed open the window. "Master, ah—how… how could you treat Sister like this?"
Luò Shīyīn said gloomily, "Why do you keep interrupting me? What now?"
"Sister Měisháo just arrived! The three groups have stopped fighting!"
"What!?" Lù Chéngwén immediately tried to get up.
Luò Shīyīn grabbed him. "You're not going! I won't let you go!"
"But—someone has to call for a timeout. If they've stopped, then this isn't fair to us—"
Luò Shīyīn said, "Xuěníng, go. Tell them to keep fighting."
"Me!?"
"Yes."
"But they won't listen to me!"
"You… just help Fùbō's side."
Lù Chéngwén thought for a moment. "Right!"
Huá Xuěníng nodded. "Then… if Tiān asks about you two, what should I say?"
Luò Shīyīn said, "Just tell him I'm… controlling Lù Chéngwén!"
"Oh. Do I need to mention the ropes?"
"No! Go away!"
Huá Xuěníng pouted, grabbed her sword, and walked off with a look of grievance. "Always yelling at me! So what if you've spend with Master? Ugh, it's so shameless. But then again, Sister has always practiced this kind of technique, so expecting her to act like us wouldn't really be reasonable, right? But why does Master like this sort of thing… sigh…"
Āxiào and Huá Xuěníng ran into each other head-on.
Huá Xuěníng drew her sword. "Why aren't you fighting? What are you doing sneaking toward our Master's villa?"
Āxiào cupped his hands in salute. "Miss Xuěníng, I was worried about Miss Shīyīn and wanted to check on her."
"She doesn't like being watched. Even I got kicked out. You shouldn't be watching either."
"Is she in danger?"
"Depends on how you look at it," Huá Xuěníng said discontentedly. "Now get lost before I have to draw my sword."
"Miss Xuěníng, we are not enemies. I truly…"
"Ugh, I know, I know! Everyone who likes my sister always says they'd carve out their heart for her! I've heard it too many times over the years. You have no chance—she only likes our Master."
"Oh."
Āxiào lowered his head with a bitter smile. "Is that so… As long as she's happy…"
Just then, Luò Shīyīn's high-pitched voice rang out again.
Huá Xuěníng sighed. "Listen! There it is again!"
Āxiào's eyes filled with tears. "She… she could never love me. Her tenderness is only for Lù Chéngwén alone… I understand now…"
Āxiào looked at Huá Xuěníng. "You like Lù Chéngwén too, don't you?"
"Huh?" Huá Xuěníng instantly blushed, lowering her head with a nervous voice. "I… of course I do. Th-th-th-that's none of your business!?"
"Aren't you sad that he's with your sister?"
"Why would I be sad?" Huá Xuěníng said. " As long as Master is happy, that's all that matters."
Āxiào had an epiphany.
He nodded. "You're right. Loving someone means…"
"Ugh, you're so annoying! Just go already! Now get lost, get lost—"
…
Huá Xuěníng and Āxiào returned to find the three factions locked in a standoff.
Lóng Àotiān's brows were tightly furrowed. Qí Měisháo slowly extended her arm. Lóng Àotiān bit down on her wrist. In an instant, the light in his eyes grew much brighter than usual.
Qí Měisháo only exhaled deeply once Lóng Àotiān let go. She instinctively took a step back, her face pale as she struggled to regulate her inner breath.
Lóng Àotiān's lips curled into a smile. "Měisháo, it's so good to have you here."
Qi Meishao lowered her head. "Young Master, do not worry. I will fight by your side!"
Long Aotian laughed. "No need! With this drop of Nuwa's Blood, I'll kill them all!"
Dungku slowly moved backward. Long Aotian pointed at him domineeringly. "Don't you dare run! None of you are leaving today!"
Dungku gritted his teeth in rage. "Who's running?! Whoever runs today is a grandson!"
Fubo was caught in a dilemma.
Should he listen to Ayin or Ahu?!
Ayin's words made sense, but the retreat route was unclear!
Ahu's logic was solid, but acting as an intermediary for Lu Chengwen afterward was unpredictable…
What should he do?
Hua Xuening arrived. "Why aren't you fighting? Come on, keep going!"
Fubo was almost in tears. "Big Sis, I already paid you back!"
"Look at you!" Hua Xuening patted his shoulder. "Do I seem like a petty, calculative person?"
"Ah?" Fubo asked, "What do you mean then?"
Hua Xuening said, "Aside from Tian'er and my sisters, you guys can say it. Tell me who you want me to deal with!"
Everyone turned to look at Dungku .
Dungku cursed in his heart. You bastards!
Why the hell are you all looking at me at a time like this!?
And is this girl out of her mind?
There are only three factions here! If you're not attacking Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Brotherhood and not attacking Long Aotian and his subordinates…
Then who the hell are you attacking if not me?!
Dungku said, "Miss Xuening, please speak with Boss Lu for me. I, Dungku, am willing to follow Boss Lu from now on, loyal and unwavering, I absolutely won't—"
"Aiya, my master is busy right now. He doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Long Aotian suddenly realized something. "Right! Where's Shiyin? Has Luo Shiyin still not handled Lu Chengwen?"
Hua Xuening said, "She's working on it."
"What do you mean?"
Qi Meishao understood immediately.
"Young Master! Lu Chengwen is cunning and devious. I fear Shiyin might be in danger…"
"Go quickly! Shiyin must not be harmed!"
"Yes!"
A Xiao was about to block her, but Hua Xuening stopped him.
Hua Xuening leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Relax, she's fine. You can't even manage your own underwear properly."
Taking advantage of this moment, Dungku turned and fled.
Hua Xuening was furious. "Trying to escape in front of me!?"
She shot forward like a flash!
Long Aotian looked around, stunned.
Hua Xuening was gone, Qi Meishao was gone, Luo Shiyin was absent…
And now it was just him against five of them again!?
Fubo and his four brothers approached with big smiles.
Long Aotian was livid. "Today, I'll let you see just how terrifying King's Domineering Aura combined with Nuwa's Blood really is! King's Aura, activate!"
Seeing that Long Aotian wouldn't be easy to handle, the five men immediately got serious, charging forward together to besiege him.
Jiang Xiaohou stood at the top, looking down at the mountain and shaking his head.
"Why is the fight happening over here, while all the girls are running to Lu Chengwen?"
His subordinate scratched his head. "I… I'm not sure."
Jiang Xiaohou thought for a moment. "I'm going to check it out. You… you're not allowed to follow me!"
"Yes."
Jiang Xiaohou quickly caught up with Qi Meishao.
Qi Meishao had just reached the doorway when she heard Luo Shiyin screaming recklessly inside.
Her mind was in turmoil. At a time like this, those two still have the mood for this!?
And what the hell is Shiyin even yelling!? This is just…
This is seriously a slut meeting a pervert—ugh!
Just as Qi Meishao was about to rush in, Jiang Xiaohou landed behind her and swiftly struck her acupoint. Qi Meishao's body went limp, and she passed out.
Inside, there was a brief intermission. Lu Chengwen drank a large glass of water, preparing to continue.
When he returned, he saw that the beauty was already lying stark naked on the bed, her hands bound behind her back, her mouth gagged.
Lu Chengwen was stunned. "Was this technique also taught by Mistress?"
He tossed aside the water glass. "Whatever! Let's test the effect first!"
He leaned in, but after a moment of intimacy, something felt wrong!
The voice, the posture, the body shape… they were all off!
He flipped her over and nearly had a heart attack.
Qi Meishao was glaring at him with tear-filled eyes, her mouth stuffed.
"Ahhh, what the hell!?"
Lu Chengwen quickly grabbed his coat to cover himself. "Big Sis, what are you doing?! This is way too fast, isn't it? Even if you like me, you should at least ask if I'm willing first!"
"You don't understand, I'm actually very traditional!"
As he spoke, Lu Chengwen noticed the rainbow rope left behind by Luo Shiyin. He picked it up and threw it in the trash.
"I'm someone who was raised under the influence of Chinese culture, pure-hearted and noble! I'm not… not that kind of guy!"
"Don't do this again, okay? Even if you really want it, we should at least go through the proper process! Like watching a movie first, drinking some wine to set the mood! You just—aiya…"
Qi Meishao was so furious she could die.
You've covered yourself, but what about me!?
Lu Chengwen finally realized her gaze was murderous.
"Wait… were you tied up and left here?"
Qi Meishao glared at him.
"Where's Shiyin!? Where's my precious Shiyin!?"
Lu Chengwen had no choice but to untie her and release her acupoint.
Qi Meishao jumped up and reached for her sword. Lu Chengwen grabbed a pair of pants and bolted for the door.
"How is this my fault?! Can't we talk this out? This is my house! My house—"
"I'll cut you down! I swear I'm going to kill you today!"
"At least put on some pants first!"
Qi Meishao turned back to get dressed, but she still roared toward the door in fury.
"I'll put on my pants, then I'll cut you down!"
