Chapter 51: True Colors After Drinking

Iron Tuo Wang came over carrying a wolf-tooth club.

When Long Ao Tian saw the club, he immediately panicked.

"I... I can't take it anymore... I really can't hold on... I... I've used up all my energy because of the Face-Shifting Technique, you can't do this—!"

"Still talking tough, huh? Playing the tough guy, huh? Didn't eat enough, huh? Tickling, huh..."

Another round of beating ensued, and even Iron Tuo Wang was sitting aside, panting.

Xu Xuejiao went over again: "Mhm, Brother Chengwen said, mhm, got it, I'll tell him."

Xu Xuejiao turned around: "Our Brother Chengwen said, he has an indestructible body, tempered in the Eight-Trigram Furnace of the Supreme Lord Lao for ninety-four days! He's eaten the peaches of immortality, drunk the royal wine, stolen the elixir, and tasted the ginseng fruit! Your puny club is just an ear pick to him!"

Iron Tuo Wang slammed the table: "Damn! He really is a tough guy!"

His four subordinates all gave thumbs up: "He really is a tough guy!"

Leng Qingqiu suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Han Yue asked: "President Leng, what are you laughing at?"

"How can seven times seven be ninety-four?"

Han Yue was stunned: "That's what you're concerned about?"

After another round of beating, even Iron Tuo Wang was exhausted.

He sat down, trembling all over: "He really is a tough nut! No wonder he had the guts to even deceive me!"

Xu Xuejiao leaned over to the already unconscious Long Ao Tian, pretending to whisper: "Oh oh oh, okay okay, got it, I'll tell him."

Xu Xuejiao then said to Iron Tuo Wang: "Our President Lu said, you're a sissy, you don't have any strength, and he asked if you have to sit on the toilet to pee."

Not to mention others, even Lu Chengwen inside was shocked.

Lu Chengwen, Leng Qingqiu, and Han Yue all thought to themselves: How vicious!

Xu Xuejiao really wants him dead!

Iron Tuo Wang stood up this time, glanced over: "Miss Xu, are you sure this is what Lu Chengwen said?"

"Of course, I never lie."

Iron Tuo Wang pointed at "Lu Chengwen": "He... can still talk?"

Yeah, can he still talk? Long Ao Tian was completely unconscious, slumped in the corner, not moving at all. Everyone suspected he was already dead.

At this moment, Lu Chengwen carefully checked himself in the mirror inside and walked out.

"Iron Tuo Wang."

As soon as Iron Tuo Wang saw "Long Ao Tian," he immediately knelt on one knee: "Young Master."

"You finally got smart for once."

"Thanks to the advisor's reminder, I realized I was deceived by this scoundrel. Luckily, I reflected on myself in time to make amends."

"Good. Han Yue, bring over the contract for the slum project, have him sign it."

Han Yue was completely confused seeing "Long Ao Tian."

What the hell is this plot!?

This... President Leng and Long Ao Tian teamed up to have someone beat President Lu to death!?

Isn't this like Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing conspiring to murder her husband!?

This is all messed up!

Leng Qingqiu glanced at her: "What are you standing there for? Listen to President Long."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Iron Tuo Wang signed and transferred the money without hesitation.

Before leaving, he kept apologizing to Lu Chengwen: "Mr. Long, I was wrong earlier, I'm really sorry."

"Alright, alright, it's fine."

"If you have any more orders in the future, just contact me directly, I'll leave you my number."

"Got it, got it, you can leave now."

Iron Tuo Wang thought, great!

Seeing the young master's attitude, he's no longer angry.

Indeed, the harder I beat Lu Chengwen, the happier the young master is.

The past is all water under the bridge, it was worth using my ultimate move to beat Lu Chengwen to death.

Heh!

Although the start wasn't great, now everything is back on track.

I'm so smart!

Iron Tuo Wang walked out with his men, passing by Leng Qingqiu: "Mr. Long is a godly man!"

Leng Qingqiu forced a smile and nodded.

Passing by Xu Xuejiao: "Young Master Long is so dashing!"

"Ah, got it, got it."

Passing by Han Yue: "I feel honored to cooperate with him."

Han Yue awkwardly smiled.

Iron Tuo Wang reached the door: "No need to see me out, goodbye."

Just as Lu Chengwen was about to speak, a figure burst through the window, picked up Long Ao Tian, and leaped out through the window, causing the girls to scream.

Lu Chengwen rushed over to see a thin wire hanging from the windowsill. No need to ask, that figure was Hua Xuening.

Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly.

The protagonist, after all, always turns calamity into fortune and survives against all odds.

Leng Qingqiu exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Chengwen, your face..."

"What about it?"

"It's back to normal!"

Lu Chengwen took out his phone to look, and indeed, it was back to normal.

"So, as long as he's beaten to a pulp, this kind of sorcery will quickly wear off. It's much more comfortable to see my own face."

Xu Xuejiao excitedly said: "Hehe, you're becoming more and more interesting, even your face can change. I was really worried that it was actually you earlier, you know? I got close to confirm several times, and seeing Leng Qingqiu so calm, I deliberately provoked him."

Lu Chengwen sighed.

[Hehe, great, now things have really blown up.]

[Long Ao Tian, the chosen one, definitely won't die. I caused him to get beaten up like this and scammed him out of five billion. Even if he doesn't die, I will.]

[This kind of scam can't go on forever, it will be exposed sooner or later.]

Lu Chengwen was dejected: "Alright, from now on, you all take care of yourselves, I'm exhausted, I'm going home."

"Hey, don't go! We won big today, let's celebrate!"

"Sorry, Xuejiao, I'm not in the mood."

"Come on, I feel like even though Long Ao Tian has a strong background, I think you're much more handsome than him."

Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly: "What's the use of being handsome? Being handsome is just to set the tone for the protagonist to beat up handsome guys, to make everyone feel good."

"Sometimes I really don't understand what you're saying."

"That's good, I'm leaving."

Lu Chengwen called Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, I'm at Qianfeng, come pick me up."

Sitting in the back of the business car, Lu Chengwen couldn't feel happy at all.

To save Leng Qingqiu once, he not only completely offended the main protagonist Long Ao Tian but also caused him to be beaten to a pulp by Iron Tuo Wang.

Now Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao are completely stuck to him. Whether they stick to him or not isn't important; what's important is that they now utterly despise Long Ao Tian.

Lu Chengwen was really impressed by Long Ao Tian.

You're so dumb! You're really so dumb!

You can't even handle such a simple thing, resorting to using face-shifting to deceive girls! And you got caught! And you failed!

My god!

Is there any protagonist dumber than you?

But then again, if it weren't for me, everything would have followed the original plot.

In the end, it's because I keep using the system's gifts and the special information I know that others in this world don't, repeatedly making Long Ao Tian hit a wall.

As long as I live, I have to change the story's direction to survive till the end.

But as long as I change the story's direction, the protagonist will hate me, the girls will dislike him and like me, and then I can't make it to the end.

There's no solution!

This is unsolvable!

Lu Chengwen sighed: "Zhao Gang, what are you waiting for? Drive."

At this moment, the car door was pulled open, and Xu Xuejiao climbed in.

"What now?"

"Leng Qingqiu said you took a bath with her, is that true?"

"Yes, we did, so what?"

Lu Chengwen said it on purpose.

"Oh." Xu Xuejiao said: "You two teamed up to make me jealous, right?"

"What do you want?"

"Geez! Why are you always so mean to me?"

"I like it, that's just how I am. You should go home, stop running around all the time."

"Hey! I've been helping you everywhere these days. You want me to play along when you need me, and tell me to get lost when you don't! Don't you know I'll be sad?"

"Oh? You'll be sad?" Lu Chengwen clapped: "Then go home and be sad, be upset."

Lu Chengwen pushed the car door open: "Get out."

Xu Xuejiao sat in the boss chair next to him, crossed her arms, and crossed her legs: "I'm not getting out."

Lu Chengwen was annoyed: "Get out!"

"I'm not getting out! I think you're really weird, sometimes nice, sometimes mean. Are you just playing with me on purpose?"

"I'm about to die, you get it? I've blocked my own path to survival for Leng Qingqiu! Please, I'm begging you, if you keep sticking to me every day, I really have no way out! Get out, big sister!"

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "Fine! You dare treat me like this!"

"Haha. So what?"

Xu Xuejiao sat in the boss chair by the door, crossed her legs: "Help! Rape! Help! Rape! Lu Chengwen is raping me!"

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and quickly closed the car door: "Big sister, how can you say such things so easily?"

"Yup! I'm rebellious, didn't you know?"

Lu Chengwen was sweating: "You... you're a girl, don't always say such wild things, okay? When you were tricking Long Ao Tian, you said things like sitting to pee so easily, can't you be a bit more careful?"

Xu Xuejiao suddenly looked pitiful: "Do you really hate me?"

Lu Chengwen said gloomily: "Not really, but we haven't been in touch for years, you used to find me so annoying, how can you suddenly stick to me just because I did a few good things these days? That makes no sense, big sister!"

Xu Xuejiao smiled again: "Fine! Here's the deal, you drink with me, get me drunk, and I'll never stick to you again."

"You're really sick!"

Xu Xuejiao rolled down the window: "Help! Rape! Help..."

Lu Chengwen quickly rolled up the window: "Fine, let's drink, let's go, I'm done for!"

They sneaked back home, Lu Chengwen prepared some food on his small balcony, and had Zhao Gang bring some good wine. They raised their glasses.

Lu Chengwen said: "Deal, if I can outdrink you, don't bother me anymore!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"Cheers!"

Three hours later.

Lu Chengwen was laughing uncontrollably, Xu Xuejiao sat in his lap, one arm around his neck, the other holding a wine bottle: "...My parents think I'm a good girl, hahaha! But they don't know, I have a tattoo!"

"Really? I can't see it!"

"Of course you can't! It's in a very private place!"

"Hahaha, how private?"
