Chapter 34: My Death Was Quite Unexpected

Lu Chengwen looked at the chair leg in his hand.

He thought to himself, "What the hell is the use of this piece of junk? It might be handy for a schoolyard brawl, but the person standing in front of us is Long Aotian! The War God of the Northern Frontier! Everyone in this nightclub combined isn't worth his time."

Hu Shuhui chimed in, "Brother Long, it’s all up to you today. Whether I can vent this anger or not depends entirely on you!"

Long Aotian smiled. "Tell your men to quiet down. I can handle this alone."

"Huh? There are quite a few of them."

"No matter," Long Aotian said. "It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my muscles."

Chen Moqun was instantly enraged. "Damn it, this is too fucking arrogant! I’m going to start with you!"

As Chen Moqun lunged forward, Lu Chengwen grabbed him. Chen Moqun was too heavy and charged with such fury that Lu Chengwen barely held him back. When he stopped, Lu Chengwen fell to the ground.

"Why are you pulling me!?"

Lu Chengwen scrambled up, thinking, "You have no idea your death is approaching! Villains always die because they act like this."

Lu Chengwen patted his shoulder to calm him down. "Don't provoke that man; we can't beat him."

"Screw that, why are you being such a coward? Fine, leave this bastard to me, okay?"

"You..."

Lu Chengwen said, "Let me try to talk to him first."

Chen Moqun was anxious, whispering, "I really want to fight, don't talk your way out of it so well that we can't throw down."

"I'll try my best."

Lu Chengwen looked at Long Aotian. "Brother Long, long time no see."

"Not that long," Long Aotian replied. "Let's get on with it."

"No rush," Lu Chengwen said. "I have a question for you."

"Ask away."

Everyone around them thought these two were insane. They had already postured and finished the pre-fight insults, so why were they chatting so politely?

Lu Chengwen continued, "Brother Long possesses the grace of a dragon and a tiger, and your talent is immense. Why would you associate with trash like Hu Shuhui? Besides, getting into a fight at a nightclub over some girl is beneath you. We’re all respectable people; why don't I play the mediator? Tonight, whatever you and Hu Shuhui spend is on me. Let’s just call it a day, how about that?"

Long Aotian said, "Lu Chengwen, are you really in a position to call others trash? Do you have any idea what kind of person you are? I’m acting today because you and that Chen Moqun are riddled with evil deeds! Everyone in Snow City knows you two are a pair of wicked young masters. Today, I, Long Aotian, am here to act for the people!"

Just then, Chen Mengyun walked over from behind, looking terrified. "What’s going on? Why are there so many people?"

Chen Mengyun had just returned from the restroom. Lu Chengwen’s "threats" and the high-speed drive had made the girl desperate for the bathroom, and upon learning her brother was fine, she had gone straight there. Hearing the commotion outside, she knew something was wrong, and seeing Hu Shuhui there confirmed her fears.

At that moment, Long Aotian and Chen Mengyun locked eyes, and sparks flew.

Long Aotian was stunned. He thought to himself, "What a beauty, rarely seen in this world. Like a flower, like jade, like a fairy. Her delicate lips, her slender waist—she puts all other beauties to shame. I feel as though I’m not at a party, but rather seeing the Moon Goddess Chang'e descend from the heavens. She is like a lady from a poem, and I am..."

Chen Mengyun, seeing Long Aotian, was also momentarily distracted. "This guy is weird, why does he keep staring at me?" Feeling nervous, she instinctively hid behind Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen thought: *Good, the situation is resolved. The male lead and the female lead have finally met. Next, Chen Mengyun should fall in love with Long Aotian at first sight, and they’ll go off to chat. Sigh, it’s a pity, but Chen Mengyun is destined to be one of Long Aotian’s harem. Go be sisters with Leng Qingqiu.*

Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Brother Long, let me introduce you. This is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Mengyun."

Chen Mengyun realized what Lu Chengwen was up to, her face turning bright red as she glared at him.

Lu Chengwen smiled, "Mengyun, let me introduce you. This is Long Aotian."

Long Aotian quickly cupped his hands. "Miss Chen, a pleasure."

Chen Mengyun ignored him, her face stern. "What are all of you doing here? Third, what are you doing? Why do you have weapons? Do you still think you're in school? When will you grow up?"

Third and the others were scolded into submission, quickly hiding their weapons behind their backs. Long Aotian felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting to meet the eldest daughter of the Chen family here. It wouldn't be appropriate to beat up her brother now.

Hu Shuhui jumped out. "Damn it! You bitch, you and Lu Chengwen teamed up to set me up, don't think I don't know! Brother Long, help me finish them off, and tonight I'll get you ten girls—guaranteed to be beautiful, skilled, and passionate!"

Long Aotian pushed him away. "My friend, don't stand so close to me. I, Long Aotian, keep myself clean. Why would I ever look for such women?"

"Huh?" Hu Shuhui was confused. "Didn't we agree to have a wild night? You told me you were a stallion, one night, ten girls—we were all waiting to watch your performance..."

"Sh-sh-shut up!" Long Aotian was so angry he stuttered. "With my noble character, great integrity, pure soul, and... anyway, I have never, and will never, touch such common trash."

Hu Shuhui was completely bewildered. "Then do you still want Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan?"

"No! How the hell would I know who Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan are?"

"They’re the ones who were sitting on your lap feeding you drinks earlier! You even said Xiao Hong’s butt was firm and Xiao Lan’s chest felt great..."

Long Aotian glared with rage. "You’ve got the wrong guy!"

Chen Moqun, holding the chair leg, walked up to Lu Chengwen and whispered, "What's going on? Are these two brain-dead?"

Lu Chengwen smiled. *This is hilarious! The plot—heh, that idiot author could never write this. Today, let’s pit one tiger against another! Just watch how devious I can be!*

Lu Chengwen leaned toward Chen Moqun. "A chair leg is nothing. Times have changed; we’re going to have a battle of wits today." He gave Chen Moqun a wink.

Chen Moqun’s eyes darted back and forth, and he nodded. "Good show."

Chen Mengyun stood behind them, her hateful eyes shifting between the two wicked schemers.

Lu Chengwen said, "That’s him! Brother Long! He’s the one who tried to insult my good brother’s sister, Miss Chen Mengyun! If I hadn't arrived in time, her virtue would have been lost!" Lu Chengwen beat his own chest. "It’s a pity! The Hu family has too much power, we can't afford to provoke them! If I had the guts, I would tear him to pieces!"

Hu Shuhui panicked. "Lu Chengwen, you’re smart enough to know your place, but don’t think you're getting away with this today!"

Chen Moqun quickly threw down the chair leg. "Sister! This guy bullied you, but I was too afraid to settle the score—I can't beat him! I hate myself!"

Long Aotian was instantly furious. "You bullied Miss Chen?"

Hu Shuhui was stunned, thinking, *What the hell are you doing!? Why are you coming after me?* He whispered, "Hey! We’re on the same side, what are you doing!?"

Long Aotian delivered a resounding slap. "Who the hell is on the same side as scum like you?"

Hu Shuhui’s head snapped to the side, and his brain stopped functioning.

"Wow! How heroic!" Chen Mengyun put her fingertips in her mouth, acting like a total fan-girl.

"Huh!?" Lu Chengwen and Chen Moqun turned around, looking at Chen Mengyun as if she were a stranger.

Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes: *So, Big Sister, you’re a method actor too!*

Long Aotian was completely lost the moment he saw Chen Mengyun. If Leng Qingqiu was the type that grew in Lu Chengwen's heart, Chen Mengyun was the type that had taken root in Long Aotian's. Every movement, every word of praise from her was like a potent drug to him. He was completely dizzy.

Chen Mengyun continued, "Hu Shuhui, I was kind enough to have dinner with you, and you tried to bully me! It’s a pity I’m a girl and the eldest daughter of the Chen family; it’s embarrassing to take this to court. But someone will settle your evil deeds sooner or later!"

What was this? This was the ultimate way to ensure someone's doom!

Hu Shuhui touched his burning cheek and looked at Long Aotian. "Long Aotian, are you fucking brain-dead? You dare hit me?!"

*Slap!* Another loud, ringing blow. Long Aotian might be bad at other things, but he was a master at beating people up. He had countless tricks for dealing with villains.

Hu Shuhui turned back, wiped his nose, and blood flowed like a fountain. "Long Aotian, I'll kill you..."

*Slap, slap, slap, slap...*

Long Aotian grabbed his collar with one hand and used the other to slap him repeatedly. Finally, Long Aotian stopped, looking at him coldly. "I hate scum who don't respect women the most."

Hu Shuhui was left gasping for air, looking helplessly at his group of henchmen. "Are you just going to watch him hit me?"

Only then did Hu Shuhui’s cronies react. "Let go of Young Master Hui!" "You little brat, let go!"

Long Aotian smiled slightly, closed the door, and as he left a small gap, he smiled inside. "Give me one minute."

The door slammed shut. Sounds of a beating erupted from inside.

Chen Moqun laughed. "What's wrong with this idiot?"

Lu Chengwen also laughed. "Can’t you tell? He’s fallen for your sister."

"Screw that! Him? My sister is yours. Besides you, no one else is going to be my brother-in-law!"

Chen Mengyun tapped Chen Moqun on the head. "Stop talking nonsense! Lu Chengwen, what is going on?"

Lu Chengwen smiled. "You'll understand eventually. This man is actually quite capable, incredibly strong, and... let's just say, if your life were a movie, he’d be the main lead. A child of destiny—he kills gods and Buddhas if they stand in his way."

"You mean you want me to date him?"

"It’s your destiny. No one can escape destiny."

Chen Mengyun was furious.

Chen Moqun said, "Lu Chengwen, what nonsense are you spouting? My sister must be yours!"

Lu Chengwen quickly said, "Don't say that in front of him. Anyone who competes with him for a woman meets a dead end."

"Why are you so afraid of him?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Not just me—you have to be afraid of him too."

"I'm not afraid of him!"

"You must be!"

"I'm not, I'm going to beat him up right now!"

Lu Chengwen grabbed him. "Can you understand human language? He is the main lead! A child of destiny! We aren't enough to fight him, and we might lose our lives, you understand? Stay away from him in the future! Be polite when you talk to him!"

"No, why are you being such a coward?"

"In short, don't argue with him, don't steal his women, and don't do evil things in front of him. Only then can you survive!"

Just then, the door opened, and Long Aotian smiled. "It's handled."

They looked inside, and "corpses" were strewn everywhere.

Chen Moqun was stunned. "You... did this alone?"

Zhao Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at his boss, suddenly realizing something.

Long Aotian walked in, gentle and soft-spoken. "I'm sorry to have frightened everyone. I met him by chance and thought he was a decent person, but I didn't realize he was such a scoundrel. Miss Chen, don't worry. As long as I'm here, he won't get within half a step of you."

Chen Mengyun looked at Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen winked at her: *Go on! Go! Talk to him! Your true love has arrived!*

Chen Mengyun ground her teeth in hatred, then suddenly smiled. "Brother Aotian, is it?"

"Sister Mengyun."

"Thank you, Brother Aotian, for venting my anger. I don't know how to thank you."

"You're too polite, Sister Mengyun. May I be so bold as to invite you for a coffee? Would you honor me with your presence?"

"Okay! But there’s someone else who has been bullying me for years, and I’m very scared."

"Who!?"

Chen Mengyun pointed at Lu Chengwen. "It’s him!"

Lu Chengwen had thought the plot was finally back on track. He was relieved and excited, thinking that this time, he had truly used his wits to make the leads fall in love at first sight, and he wouldn't need to worry about this thread anymore.

His relieved smile vanished instantly as Chen Mengyun pointed at him. He turned his head to see Long Aotian looking at him with an extremely malicious expression.

*Ah! So this is how I die!*
