39: Chapter 39 I’m in Charge of This Matter_1 39: Chapter 39 I’m in Charge of This Matter_1 Lu Chuan said firmly, “Of course not!”
Ning Xin’s eyes widened, “Didn’t you say before that as long as the money is right, you would even be my husband?”
Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “That was just an exaggeration.
I can’t just break the law because you paid .”
Ning Xin said, “I’m not asking you to break the law.”
Lu Chuan said, “Well, I don’t want to do it anyway.”
Ning Xin was infuriated, “Why not!”
Lu Chuan grinned, “I’m not in such urgent need of money anymore.”
Ning Xin imdiately looked regretful, feeling that transferring the money to Lu Chuan in advance was a wrong decision.
She said resentfully, “Then give back the money.”
Lu Chuan chuckled mischievously, “Nope, consider it money spent on a lesson.
This kind of experience is priceless.”
Ning Xin’s eyes bulged, “How can you be so shaless!”
Lu Chuan cleared his throat and said, “I’m just thick-skinned, alright?”
Ning Xin clenched her fists, wanting to throw a couple of punches at this guy.
Suddenly, she rotated her eyes and said, “It’s okay if you don’t give the money.”
Lu Chuan was puzzled, “Oh?
You’re taking it as a lesson learned?”
Ning Xin revealed a mischievous smile, her gaze falling between Lu Chuan’s legs, “Let have a look.”
Lu Chuan instantly covered up, guarding himself, “Isn’t there enough of that in adult movies?
Can’t you just watch those?”
Ning Xin said, “I’ve never seen the real thing, just show .”
Lu Chuan stuck to his principles, “No way!”
Ning Xin reached out to yank his pants, “Co on, just a quick look, don’t be so stingy.
Besides, you took my money.”
Lu Chuan thought to himself about how bold won are these days, who could handle this!
In the end, with no other choice, he reluctantly transferred the 100,000 back to Ning Xin.
Lu Chuan tugged at his pants and said, “Now you should at least give a ride back, right?”
Ning Xin snorted coldly, “Get out, make your own way!”
Lu Chuan was helpless and had to get out of the car.
The engine roared to life.
Ning Xin floored the accelerator and sped away.
Lu Chuan could only walk towards the roadside, planning to take a cab ho.
anwhile, from the shadow of a nearby tree, Xiao Yun revealed a cold smile, “This guy was really just brought in as a shield.”
He told one of his bodyguards, “Follow him, take the opportunity to break his legs first.”
Another bodyguard said, “Young Master, why don’t we both go?
It’ll be safer that way.”
Xiao Yun curled his lip, “Both of you have the strength of Inner Force Stage 8.
Do you really need to go together to deal with that kid?”
“In the Martial Arts world, for soone in their twenties to reach Inner Force Stage 5 is already considered a genius.
If that kid could handle an expert of Inner Force Stage 8, he would have already beco a famous Martial Arts prodigy throughout Cloud City.
How could he still be so obscure and unknown?”
“Sending Acai feels like overkill.”
“Alright, go now, don’t lose him.”
Acai imdiately saluted, “Understood!”
Lu Chuan took a taxi and hurried ho.
Acai followed in a black sedan.
At the entrance of the Gold Lake Neighborhood District.
Lu Chuan got out of the taxi, and shortly after entering the neighborhood, realized soone was following him.
He hesitated for a mont, then plunged into a pitch-black alley not covered by the surveillance caras.
A burst of wind sounded.
Lu Chuan sidestepped, avoiding Acai’s attack.
Then a side kick landed squarely on Acai’s waist.
Acai stumbled a few steps to the side, astonished, “You’re so strong!”
Lu Chuan, by the light of the moon, could barely make out the assailant’s face.
He rembered this man as one of Xiao Yun’s bodyguards.
“Did Xiao Yun send you?”
Acai didn’t respond, just lunged at Lu Chuan again.
Lu Chuan snorted coldly, channeled his Spiritual Power, and started fighting Acai.
If it had been yesterday, Lu Chuan might not have been Acai’s match.
But today, Lu Chuan had broken through to Qi Cultivation Level 3, and that burst of True Dragon Qi had pushed his strength to the peak of Qi Cultivation Level 3, so dealing with Acai was effortless.
After exchanging more than a hundred moves, Lu Chuan saw his chance and struck Acai’s chest with his palm.
Acai flew backward, spitting blood.
Realizing how bad things were, he imdiately tried to flee.
Lu Chuan didn’t give him that chance, rushed over, and stomped down, crushing Acai’s Dantian.
Acai scread in agony, turning into a cripple, and looked at Lu Chuan with eyes filled with terror.
“Spare…
my life!”
Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “Tell Xiao Yun, if he really dislikes that much, he can co himself.
Hiding behind others like a turtle will only make him a laughingstock!”
“Get lost!”
Acai quickly scrambled up and fled in a mix of rolling and crawling.
Lu Chuan sighed, muttering to himself, “Seems like there’s quite the fallout from pretending to be Ning Xin’s boyfriend.
Knowing this, I wouldn’t have returned that 100,000.
I’ll have to talk to her, I need a raise, or else it’s just too much of a loss.”
…
Acai managed to escape from the neighborhood district, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth while hailing a car by the roadside with a wave of his hand.
He was seriously injured by then and was no longer able to drive.
Passersby who saw the trail of blood on the ground all wore frightened expressions, none daring to lend him a hand.
At that mont, a slender figure followed the trail of blood and found her way over, and it was none other than Yu Xin.
Yu Xin wore a security guard uniform at the ti, and although these standard-issue clothes were rather unsightly, it was impossible to hide her attractive appearance.
On her, the uniform almost appeared to exude a sense of seductive charm.
Upon seeing the badly injured Acai, she quickly ran over to support him, “Sir, what happened to you?
Were you beaten by soone?”
Not wanting to cause further trouble, Acai hurried to reply, “No…
It’s nothing.”
Yu Xin, recognizing the martial artist from the plaster on Acai’s hand, took out her own identification and said, “Don’t be afraid.
I work for the Censorate Departnt.
If you’ve been injured by a martial artist, you can tell .
Our departnt always punishes the wicked and promotes righteousness; we won’t let anyone who abuses their power off lightly.”
Acai looked at her with suspicion, wondering to himself since when did mbers of the Censorate Departnt keep such a low profile, even wearing security guard uniforms when out and about.
He intended to refuse her help, but another thought occurred to him.
He nodded at Yu Xin and said, “Yes…
I was injured by a person nad Lu Chuan.
He was extrely cruel; I feel that my Dantian has been destroyed, and I’m afraid my path in the Martial Path is over from today.”
Yu Xin’s brows furrowed, “Lu Chuan, that bastard again!”
Acai asked, “You know him?”
Yu Xin snorted coldly, “Know him?
He’s a complete evil demon.
I taught him a lesson not long ago.
I didn’t expect him to be so unrepentant.
It hasn’t been that long, and now he has acted against another martial artist.”
She spoke as if she was deeply involved, almost as if it was true.
Acai’s face filled with sorrow, “My lord, you must stand up for !”
Yu Xin checked Acai’s condition and saw that his Dantian was indeed ruined.
She gritted her teeth and said, “This man is clearly a ruthless individual, yet he pretends to be an innocent victim, which is utterly despicable!
We are all martial artists, yet he cruelly destroys soone’s Dantian, ruining their martial arts foundation.
How can he bear to do such a thing!”
Acai quickly nodded in agreent, “Exactly, exactly, this Lu Chuan is just too wicked!”
Yu Xin looked at Acai with grave seriousness and said, “Don’t worry.
I am always a partner of justice.
I will definitely take care of this matter.
Let’s get you to a hospital imdiately to stabilize your injuries.”
…
Having returned ho, Lu Chuan saw Mu Nanqing sitting on the sofa watching television and wanted to apologize for what happened the day before.
“Sister-in-law, I…”
Mu Nanqing imdiately put on a stern face, turned the television off, and went back to her room.
Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “It’s the first ti sister-in-law has been so mad at .
It’s my own fault for talking carelessly, suggesting she find soone else.
Considering the good relationship she had with my brother, it would be strange if she was happy about it.”
He slapped his own mouth, then took out the two pieces of athyst and muttered after glancing at them, “I’ll cut a piece off this athyst and make her a piece of jewelry, which should cheer her up.”
Thinking this, Lu Chuan went back to his room and began cutting the athyst with his Spiritual Power.
He was not in a hurry to use the athyst for making a Magic Artifact.
Truly powerful magic artifacts couldn’t be crafted overnight, so one day’s ti made no difference.
In Mu Nanqing’s room.
Mu Nanqing lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and muttering to herself, “It’s no use pretending to be mad at him.
But if I don’t show so anger, he will definitely think about pairing with soone else in the future.”
“Perhaps…
it’s ti to tell him that secret!”
She made up her mind, deciding to co clean with Lu Chuan the next morning.
“I wonder how Xiaochuan will treat after he learns the secret…”
With that thought in mind, Mu Nanqing closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Lu Chuan walked out of his room, holding a pendant that shimred with a purple light, within which golden patterns faintly appeared, the result of the talismans he had inscribed.
The athyst itself was an excellent material for crafting magic artifacts, and paired with specific talismans, even if not made into an artifact, could produce so extraordinary effects.
The athyst pendant that Lu Chuan made for Mu Nanqing had the effects of nourishing the skin and preventing diseases.
If Mu Nanqing wore it for an extended period, she could maintain her youthfulness with ever-changing beauty.
“This athyst pendant, made of the wildly valuable athyst and paired with the talismans I inscribed, would probably sell for several billion if put on the market,” Lu Chuan thought.
“Sister-in-law will definitely like it.”
At that mont, Mu Nanqing’s room door opened.
Lu Chuan quickly tucked the athyst pendant away.
Mu Nanqing walked toward Lu Chuan with a hint of shyness on her face because she was nervous about revealing that secret to him.
Lu Chuan, seeing Mu Nanqing approach, thought to himself, “Has sister-in-law cooled down?
If I give her the athyst pendant now, she will surely forgive .”
Both harbored their own thoughts.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Xiaochuan.”
Just as they were about to speak, the doorbell rang.
Lu Chuan had to go answer the door first.
Ning Xin walked in with a pile of clothing, “You forgot to leave your address yesterday, making take an extra trip, really.”
Lu Chuan looked surprised, “How did you know where I live?”
Ning Xin laughed, “Yaoyao told .”
As she turned around, she caught eyes with Mu Nanqing, and her expression froze montarily.
“This woman…
is so beautiful.
What is she doing in Lu Chuan’s ho?
Could it be…”
Mu Nanqing was also shocked as she looked at Ning Xin, her mind racing with countless thoughts, “Such a beautiful girl.
Is she Xiaochuan’s friend?
But why would friends exchange so many clothes?
Could it be…”
Seeing the two staring blankly at each other, Lu Chuan quickly introduced, “Ning Xin, this is my sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law, this is…”
Hearing that Mu Nanqing was Lu Chuan’s sister-in-law, Ning Xin’s lips imdiately curled into a smile; before Lu Chuan could finish, she blurted out, “Sister-in-law, hello!
I’m Lu Chuan’s girlfriend!”
Mu Nanqing froze, a layer of mist forming over her eyes instantaneously.
