Chapter 422: The Nuisance Xu Ran, Messing with His Mind Again_1

"Damn!"

Tang San was baffled, feeling his legs go weak, filled with doubt. What exactly had just happened?

How did he fall while running?

He was even using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, is it that easy to fall?

"Fuck, trying to look cool and ended up losing face." Tang San cursed, feeling a lump in his throat, tears not far away. He had planned to strike a cool pose in front of Bai Chenxiang, to show off a bit.

Now, not only had he not managed to impress, he'd also taken a tumble.

Bai Chenxiang smiled sweetly, thinking Tang San had let her win on purpose, her affection for him growing. She had thought her cousin was like those lecherous men, trying to win her heart with such tactics, but fortunately, her cousin wasn't like that.

"It's okay, it's okay. With my 'Cultivation Level', catching up to Bai Chenxiang is too easy." Seeing Bai Chenxiang's figure, and especially hearing her bell-like voice, Tang San felt as if he had been healed and immediately gathered his strength, quickly running in Bai Chenxiang's direction.

"Cousin, wait for me." Tang San shouted, preparing to run behind Bai Chenxiang. She was running so fast; if he stayed behind her, he could still catch a whiff of her fragrance carried by the wind.

"Ouch!"

Tang San cried out in pain, having no idea why he had stepped on a round stone, and then fell flat on his face again, his jaw aching and his face scraping against the ground.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Am I, Tang San, really that unlucky?"

"Is chasing a girl this tragic?"

Could it be the heavens wanted him to stay single forever? A beautiful girl was right in front of him, and they even had a wager. It seemed so easy to win the heart of the simple and sweet Bai Chenxiang.

But now, misfortune upon misfortune—he just didn't understand why.

"My fate is in my own hands, not dictated by the heavens."

"Damned fate, I won't surrender!"

Tang San got up from the ground, running and shouting, feeling much better, even feeling his blood boiling with enthusiasm.

That was him, Tang San, always incredible, standing tall and proud in the face of adversity, fighting until he achieved great success.

"Ah." Just as Tang San was feeling proud of himself, a pebble flew towards him, striking him right on the corner of his mouth, blood streaming down.

"Damn, someone's definitely messing with me."

"Couldn't be Xu Ran showing up, could it?"

Tang San was filled with panic and more anger. Xu Ran really was a persistent ghost!

All he did was hit on a girl, did Xu Ran have to chase after him relentlessly? What did his cousin have to do with Xu Ran?

But in the next moment, countless pebbles rained down on him, thick and fast, making Tang San's scalp tingle. He wailed in pain from behind, while Bai Chenxiang had long since run out of sight, oblivious to Tang San's miserable state.

Tang San was in despair, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, trying time and again to dodge Xu Ran's pebbles, but they seemed to have homing devices on them, hitting him with every shot.

It's a rule not to hit the face, yet the pebbles that followed targeted only the skin covered by Tang San's clothes. Despite his constant howling, no significant injuries could be seen.

"Xu Ran, get lost!"

"Get the hell away from me!"

Tang San weaved through the streets, twisting and turning, making bizarre movements, drawing the gaze of countless passersby. Everyone looked at Tang San in astonishment, thinking he was crazy.

"Fuck... it's all Xu Ran's fault. If not for Xu Ran, I could beat my cousin with both hands tied behind my back." Tang San wanted to cry, but couldn't, as he continued to boast.

If it hadn't been for Xu Ran, with his awesome Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his cousin would have been his no longer at that moment. If only... heh heh, if he held that delicate body in his arms, Tang San would have been directly inspired and thereby walked the path to success.

"Xu Ran, you're too arrogant! Give me a few more years, Time, and I'll seek revenge on you." Tang San shouted loudly, furiously speeding up, trying to catch up to Bai Chenxiang. But targeted by Xu Ran, how could he catch up?

By the time Tang San reached the finish line, Bai Chenxiang was there, laughing non-stop, her simple big eyes filled with adoration.

Although Tang San was injured and had failed, her affection for him had grown much deeper.

This might just be what it meant to have a cousin!

He might look lecherous on the outside, but in fact, the cousin was a good person.

"Giggle, cousin, thank you."

"You did this on purpose to let me win, didn't you?"

Bai Chenxiang smiled, recalling Tang San's previous speed. His pace was so fast that if he really wanted to win, it would have been effortless. Maybe he had wanted to let her win all along.

"I..." Tang San opened his mouth but was like a man who wished to cry but had no tears, lost for words. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to tell Bai Chenxiang that it was all Xu Ran's malicious plotting, to make Bai Chenxiang stay away from Xu Ran.

But how could he say that in front of Bai Chenxiang's envious and admiring gaze?

However, now he seemed to have gained a blessing in disguise. After all, with his cousin admiring him so much, he didn't need to resort to despicable methods to win her favor. Previously, Xu Ran had always been throwing dirt on him, causing Xiaowu to develop a revulsion for him.

Now that Bai Chenxiang's fondness for him was so deep, if he still couldn't win her favor, then he truly didn't deserve to be in the game. He shouldn't be that kind of person.

This time, Xu Ran would not have the chance to snatch away Bai Chenxiang.

"Exactly, I did it all on purpose. Here, a hidden weapon for you." Tang San handed the hidden weapon to Bai Chenxiang, then saw a figure all in black and his face immediately turned red with anger.

Fucking hell, it was definitely that dog Xu Ran!

"What is this?"

"So handsome."

Earlier, during Xu Ran's lucky draw, he obtained incredible good looks, upgrading his already handsome features to even greater heights, every part of him just perfect. Dark hair, black jacket, sleek black trousers, black shoes shining in the sunlight, and he even held a sun umbrella.

With lips slightly pursed, even though he did nothing, that aura of devilish charm and wild elegance from the inside out was enough to make hearts race.

Whether one favors the caring big brother type, or a playful bad boy or maybe just an honest guy who works hard to earn money only to spend it on the neighbor, Old Wang.

As it turns out, those that know how to play the game are often a cut above the rest.

In just an instant, Bai Chenxiang's gaze fixated on Xu Ran, her eyes shining bright. As for Tang San, who had not yet evolved into the Bluesilver Emperor and thus had no chance of becoming handsome, he naturally fell short against Xu Ran in terms of looks.

And as for smooth moves, he was even more lacking.

"Xu Ran, what are you doing here?"

"Xu Ran, get lost! I don't welcome you here," Tang San said furiously. Seeing Xu Ran making such a poser entrance made Tang San want to knock him out. Xu Ran had just recently pelted him with pebbles without an ounce of grace.

And now he's here to show off? Isn't there any justice?

Shameless Xu Ran, truly shameless.

All day long knowing nothing but to strike a pose, showing off.

"Xu Ran, is this Xu Ran?" Bai Chenxiang was shocked. Xu Ran had always been the object of her admiration, knowing him for his immense strength, off the charts, but who knew that Xu Ran was also so handsome?

She had never seen such a handsome man before.
