Chapter 391: Not a Witch, But a Fairy
Cheqi Tianwang started crying as soon as he entered the room, crying as if something terrible had happened at home.
This left Lu Chengwen completely bewildered.
"Hey, hey, hey, you weren't like this the last few times you came. What happened to you?"
He turned his head and asked, "Did Xiao Houzi talk to him?"
Hua Xuening shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what Lu Chengwen was talking about.
"You, you, you... Stand up, sit properly, and speak slowly."
Cheqi Tianwang stood up and sat down on the sofa. "Where are the ten of them?"
"What do you want to do?"
"No, I'm afraid they'll beat me up."
"Just say it. Looking at your miserable state, I think even I could beat you right now."
"I... Lu-zong, let me be honest with you. At first, I wanted to deal with you. But later, I realized that I simply couldn't. Every time I made a move, something went wrong."
Lu Chengwen laughed. "Well, now that you understand, it's not too late. Explain clearly—what exactly do you want?"
"Three groups!" Cheqi Tianwang raised three fingers in frustration. "Three different groups are forcing me to take your life."
"Wo kao!" Lu Chengwen was shocked. "You sure are involved with a lot of organizations. Speak one by one, start with the most recent one."
"Huo Wendong!"
"Huo Wendong?!" Lu Chengwen asked, "Why are you still in contact with him?"
"I didn't want to be. Last night, after I left here, I got kidnapped before dawn. Huo Wendong is working with the Tianwang people, and it's seriously bad!"
Lu Chengwen said, "You big organizations aren't exactly good people either. Keep going."
"They beat me, beat me to death. In the end, I had no choice but to lie to him, saying you have some miracle aphrodisiac pills that could cure his condition. He fed me poison, gave me one day, and told me to steal it... Wuwuwu..."
"The second group?"
"Long Aotian."
Lu Chengwen was puzzled. "Didn't you beat him up two days ago? Why are you listening to him?"
"Yeah, but I didn't know at the time. Later, I went to find him, and he beat me up too! Then he ordered me to pay off a debt, saying if I don't hand over 10 billion, he'll kill me. He also poisoned me and gave me a two-day deadline."
Lu Chengwen exchanged glances with Hua Xuening and noticed that she was already too confused to think straight.
"So... the third group, is it your big organization?"
"No! It's... Mo Nv!"
"Mo Nv?!" Lu Chengwen was intrigued. "Where did this Mo Nv come from?"
"She..."
At that moment, Jiang Xiaohou walked out, wearing a cold smile, standing not far away.
Jiang Xiaohou's eyes carried a hint of menace and something eerie, glowing with a strange light that made Cheqi Tianwang shiver.
Lu Chengwen was still looking at him.
"What are you trembling for? I'm not hitting you. Speak, tell me about this Mo Nv. What does she look like?"
Cheqi Tianwang straightened his posture, put on a serious face, and spoke in a noble, broadcast-like tone:
"She is elegant and noble, from a prestigious lineage.
She is stunning and mesmerizing, a beauty that could topple nations.
She has a fiery figure, the goddess of men's dreams.
She has the highest morals, she is—"
"Enough." Lu Chengwen cut him off. "I'm asking you, what did she force you to do?"
"No, no, no! She didn't force me! Not at all, I did it willingly!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Cheqi Tianwang. "Are you messing with me? Who exactly is this Mo Nv?"
"Hey! How can you call her Mo Nv? She's a Xian Nv!"
Lu Chengwen was beyond frustrated. "Are you going to tell me or not?!"
At this moment, Hua Xuening spoke up. "Zhu ren, the person I mentioned to you yesterday, I think that's the Mo Nv he's talking about."
"It's Xian Nv," Cheqi Tianwang corrected.
Hua Xuening continued, "That person is really powerful, completely beyond my comprehension. I think only your shifu can handle her."
Lu Chengwen looked at Cheqi Tianwang. "So, what did Mo Nv ask you to do?"
"It's Xian Nv."
"Speak!"
"She... she told me... to kill you."
Lu Chengwen was baffled. "So powerful and so beautiful, I don't recall offending someone that incredible."
Cheqi Tianwang laughed. "You don't need to offend her! My younger brother didn't offend her, and she beat him half to death. Right now, I don't even know if he's alive or dead! I didn't offend her either, yet she beat me half to death and made me work for her. So, whether she wants to kill you or not has nothing to do with whether you offended her!"
Lu Chengwen was confused. "Then this Mo Nv is a total psycho!"
"It's Xian Nv," Cheqi Tianwang muttered, glancing at Jiang Xiaohou.
Lu Chengwen noticed his eyes kept darting behind him, so he turned around—only to see Jiang Xiaohou standing there obediently.
Lu Chengwen chuckled. "Xiao Houzi, why did you come out? Feeling bored? This afternoon, gege will take you to the amusement park."
Jiang Xiaohou bounced happily toward him. Cheqi Tianwang instinctively jumped up in terror, assuming a defensive stance as if he was about to have a breakdown.
Lu Chengwen stared at him. "Are you sick? This is my meimei. What the hell are you so tense for?"
"Ah?" Cheqi Tianwang looked at his own stance and movements and thought to himself: This is bad! His body had reacted purely out of instinctual fear, without even thinking.
He quickly sat back down, forcing a smile at everyone.
Jiang Xiaohou plopped onto Lu Chengwen's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Gege! Gege promised to take Xiao Hou to the amusement park! Xiao Hou is so happy!"
Lu Chengwen looked a bit awkward. "Alright, alright, gege promised you. I'll take you. But... you're a big girl now, don't cling to me like this. People will laugh."
"Nope, nope! I'm clinging, I'm clinging! Xiao Hou loves gege the most!"
Lu Chengwen could only sigh in defeat, hugging Jiang Xiaohou and pinching her nose. "You little troublemaker."
Then he turned to Cheqi Tianwang. "Sorry about that. My meimei looks like a big girl, but mentally she's still young—so innocent and pure."
"Oh..." Cheqi Tianwang was drenched in cold sweat.
Innocent and pure, huh?
Uh... Lu-zong, you better take care of yourself.
Lu Chengwen said, "Now, continue. I'm very interested in this Mo Nv matter."
"She... actually, it's nothing much."
"Nothing much?!" Hua Xuening wasn't having it. "Zhu ren, that person's martial arts are unfathomable! Her qinggong is the best I've ever seen! She's way faster than me! She grabbed Dangkou Tianwang, stepped on a tree branch, and flew dozens of meters away... Super powerful!"
Lu Chengwen nodded. "You told me last night. I thought you were exaggerating."
"No! She really is the most incredible woman I've ever seen. Too bad I didn't get a clear look at her face."
Hua Xuening glanced at Xiao Houzi. "Sigh! The proportions are a lot like Xiao Houzi."
Cheqi Tianwang suddenly stood up in a panic and quickly said to Xiao Houzi, "I didn't say that! She did!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Cheqi Tianwang in surprise, thinking that this guy must have been beaten too much these past few days.
Hua Xuening ignored him and continued, "But her body is much taller than Xiao Houzi's, really explosive, and she dresses very boldly."
Lu Chengwen nodded solemnly, holding Xiao Houzi in his arms. He said seriously,
"I didn't expect that Xuecheng would have such a powerful person coming again. Damn it, making trouble for me on purpose. Xuening, did you two exchange any words at all?"
Hua Xuening shook her head. "She didn't seem to want to hurt me. She just pushed me aside and took Dangkou away."
Hua Xuening was indignant. "Master, from now on, I will train twice as hard! Once I fully develop the power of Xunji Feidian, I will kill her and rid you of this trouble!"
Cheqi Tianwang bared his teeth. "Ah, Miss Xuening, you really shouldn't say things like that! You really shouldn't!"
"What's there to be afraid of!?" Hua Xuening said defiantly. "I hate it when people are faster than me!"
"No, it's just that… the key thing is… that person is too strong. And… who knows, she might be very close to you guys."
Lu Chengwen thought about it but couldn't quite figure it out. "Based on what you're saying, this female demon…"
"She's a fairy," Cheqi Tianwang corrected again.
"…If she's really that strong, then the Four Gates must be nothing in her eyes. If she wanted to kill me, it'd be easy! Why would she need you to do it?"
Cheqi Tianwang started crying again. "I don't know! Just… I don't get it. She's so powerful, she doesn't need us at all! She could've just given me the antidote and let me and my brother get the hell out of here!"
Cheqi Tianwang cautiously looked at Jiang Xiaohou. "Right? Don't you think so…"
Lu Chengwen shook his head and pressed his lips together. "She must have her own difficulties, some kind of… restriction or unavoidable circumstance. So… she can't get close to me and has to rely on others!"
Cheqi Tianwang thought to himself: Can't get close to you? If you two got any closer, you'd have a kid together!
Lu Chengwen couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it.
"Doesn't matter! If she wants to come, she can come. If not, whatever. I'm not even afraid of Long Aotian, why would I be afraid of her? If I'm meant to die, worrying about it won't change anything. My life was just picked up off the ground anyway."
Hua Xuening said, "If she dares to hurt you, I will risk my life to make her pay."
Lu Chengwen looked at Hua Xuening. "Xuening, if she really appears before us and wants my life, you must run. Turn around and run."
"Why!?"
Lu Chengwen said, "She can send you flying dozens of meters with just one palm. Is that something a human can do? If you fight her, you'll definitely die. If I die, you fighting will be meaningless. Just escape. Live well."
"I won't! Whoever kills you, I'll kill them."
Lu Chengwen didn't want to argue with Hua Xuening about this in front of Cheqi Tianwang.
Convincing Hua Xuening would take a long time.
"You said you tricked Huo Wendong, telling him I have…"
"The kind of miracle pill that cures male dysfunction."
Lu Chengwen laughed. "I'll give you one. Take it back to him."
"Huh? You really have one?"
Lu Chengwen looked very pleased. "I have everything here. Wait."
Lu Chengwen patted Jiang Xiaohou's back. "Little Monkey, go play by yourself."
"Nooo, Monkey likes being held by Brother! Just hold me! Just hold me!"
"You're already a grown girl. This doesn't look good. What would people think if they saw us…"
"Monkey loves Brother!"
Lu Chengwen had no choice. "Fine, I'll carry you up to the third floor."
"Mm-mm! Brother is so nice to Monkey! Monkey loves Brother!"
Lu Chengwen stood up. Jiang Xiaohou clung to him like a koala as he walked up to the third floor. He said to Cheqi Tianwang, "Wait for me here."
Once he reached the third floor, he put down Jiang Xiaohou and went to the study on the fourth floor.
Lu Chengwen sat at his desk, took a deep breath, and opened the system interface to check his recent gains.
What should he prepare for that guy?
Huo Wendong was doing fine before, so why is he having problems now?
Lu Chengwen reached out and took out a Yunu Dan.
He smiled. "Wendong, we were classmates, so don't say I didn't take care of you. This is the real deal."
Jiang Xiaohou hid in the shadows, revealing a strange smile.
