Chapter 120: Qingyue, Your Happiness Is My Happiness!

On the other side, the Dragon King, Zhao Tian, exploded with rage once again!

He had just issued a ban on the novel, yet somehow, 60,000 to 70,000 more words had been published. This was nothing short of a provocation!

What infuriated him even more was that those tens of thousands of words depicted him in the most humiliating way possible—washing feet, pouring water, looking utterly pathetic. His weak, servile, and narcissistic image was so vividly portrayed that he could almost see himself in it!

The very thought made him tremble with anger!

If Lin Beifan was his first sworn enemy, then the person behind this novel was undoubtedly his second!

"Have you found out who's responsible?"

One of his subordinates in black robes replied with a wry smile, "Dragon King, we've only managed to trace the novel's spread back to an overseas source. As for the mastermind behind it, we need more time to investigate."

"Find them!" Zhao Tian roared. "If you don't, I won't be able to sleep soundly!"

"Yes, Dragon King!" the men in black responded in unison.

"Also, track down the website where this novel is being serialized. Get me the exact number of copies in circulation and ensure it stops spreading!"

"Yes, Dragon King!"

Meanwhile, on the other side…

After an exhausting eight-hour writing marathon, Lu Mobai finally finished typing 80,000 words.

By the time he stopped, he was completely drained—his vision blurred, his fingers cramped, and his head throbbing.

But when he thought about how he was doing all this for his beloved Leng Qingyue, none of it felt difficult anymore.

"When Qingyue finds out how much effort I've put in for her, she'll surely be touched, right?"

The thought alone made him giggle like a fool.

Fighting off the last vestiges of sleep, he pulled out his phone.

Mo Bai: Qingyue, have you seen it? "Dragon King of the City's Son-in-Law" just updated with 80,000 words!

Qingyue: I've been reading it! I'm so happy!

Qingyue: As soon as I saw the Dragon King humiliated—washing feet and pouring water with that stifled look on his face—I burst out laughing!

Qingyue: Hehe! I haven't been this happy in a long time!

Lu Mobai couldn't help but smile, his heart brimming with warmth.

"Qingyue, as long as you're happy, I'm happy too."

Qingyue: I have to say, this author is incredible! Updating more than 100,000 words in a single day, and still maintaining such high quality! I wonder if they have a stockpile of chapters or if they're writing in real time?

Qingyue: If this is all written on the spot, then this author is truly god-tier!

Lu Mobai felt a surge of pride.

That's me!

I am the man who, in your eyes, is worthy of being called a god!

Just then, another message popped up.

Qingyue: I've finished reading the latest update, but I still want more! If I could read 70,000 to 80,000 words every day, I'd be over the moon!

Lu Mobai's face stiffened slightly.

70,000 to 80,000 words per day?! Even if he pushed himself to the limit, that was nearly impossible.

But then, he reminded himself—this was Qingyue's wish.

And for her, nothing was too hard.

With trembling hands but a firm gaze, he muttered, "Qingyue, your happiness is my happiness!"

Mo Bai: I have a feeling your wish will definitely come true!

Qingyue: Really? Haha! I hope so too!

Qingyue: After reading this novel, I suddenly want to meet the author!

Lu Mobai's heart clenched.

"Qingyue, I want to see you too… but not yet."

He was a reborn man, carrying deep-seated hatred.

Right now, his career was only in its infancy, and his enemies were too formidable.

He needed time. Time to establish himself overseas, to gather enough strength to take on Lin Beifan.

Only then could he return—not just to exact revenge, but to stand beside Leng Qingyue with confidence, and finally say those three words to her.

For now, though, he could still nurture their connection, deepen their bond through constant interaction.

And when the time was right, their meeting would be inevitable.

Thinking of Leng Qingyue's beautiful face, his heart pounded wildly.

Mo Bai: Qingyue, I have something to say to you!

Qingyue: What is it?

Mo Bai: What is love in this world? It is a promise of life and death!

Qingyue: ...

Then, completely drained, Lu Mobai finally collapsed into sleep, his dreams filled with sweet thoughts of love.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Lin Beifan was utterly speechless.

"You… you shameless copycat! Stealing my poetry to woo my sister? Can you be a little more original?"

Then again, considering how hard Lu Mobai was grinding out chapters, Lin Beifan decided to let it slide.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now. But tomorrow… let's keep this game going."

With that, he picked up his tablet and continued reading Dragon King of the City's Son-in-Law with a grin.

"I have to admit, this Lu Mobai is skilled! He turned a simple scene of foot-washing and water-pouring into a dramatic, face-slapping spectacle! Impressive!"

"I haven't chased a novel this eagerly in ages. This one, I'll definitely follow to the end!"

"Still not satisfied? Maybe I should urge the author for more updates!"

"70,000 to 80,000 words a day doesn't seem too hard for him, hehe!"

"Such a great novel! I have to share it!"

Without hesitation, Lin Beifan opened WeChat, logged into his Moments, and made a post.

"Highly recommending the novel 'Dragon King of the City's Son-in-Law'! The plot is gripping, the twists are exhilarating, and the writing is absolutely brilliant!"

Not long after, comments flooded in.

The first to reply was the literary goddess herself—Leng Qingyue.

Leng Qingyue: Thanks for the recommendation! But online novels aren't very nutritious. I'm not really into them.

Lin Beifan silently mourned for a certain someone.

"Your sweetheart doesn't even care about your efforts… But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you!"

Next came his secretary, Liu Rujuan.

Liu Rujuan: Boss, why are you recommending novels in the middle of the night? Are you trying to poison me with literature?

Lin Beifan: I think it's great!

Liu Mei: Boss, are you okay? Maybe you should see a psychiatrist.

Lin Beifan: ...

Then, his girlfriend, Song Yuqing, chimed in.

Song Yuqing: Stop staying up late reading novels! It's bad for your health. Go to bed earlier!

Lin Beifan: Goodnight to you too. Sleep well!

Lastly, Chu Ruoxue joined the conversation.

Chu Ruoxue: Haha! This novel is amazing! It's making my day!

Lin Beifan: Most people think it's ridiculous. Why do you like it?

Chu Ruoxue: Because I put myself in the heroine's shoes! Watching the so-called Dragon King serve me, wash my feet, and be humiliated—it's absolutely delightful!

Lin Beifan: …

And so, thanks to Lin Beifan's efforts, the entire company found themselves engrossed in Dragon King of the City's Son-in-Law.
