NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27
Chapter 27:
Several days passed, and inside the Chen Family Mansion, Chen Lang removed his VR headset, revealing a slightly fatigued face.
These VR games from the island nation were truly addictive.
They were so thrilling!
He had to admire the creativity of the islanders that made such exciting games.
Especially with the top-notch VR headset, the experience was incredibly realistic.
Chen Lang had been playing continuously for a whole day and night.
And, thanks to the power of the ‘Chiyou Battle Technique,’ he didn’t feel any fatigue.
He did feel a bit of a backache from playing too long, though.
These days, there was no plot for him! So, he naturally had to enjoy himself.
Playing the villain and getting slapped in the face was miserable enough. When he had no plot, he had to have some fun!
Chen Lang put down the VR headset and stretched his back.
He picked up his phone to complete today’s diary entry.
[According to my calculations, the protagonist should have a fortuitous encounter today]
[It’s in a cave near Ox Head Mountain on the outskirts, where he seems to receive some sort of inheritance . Pretty impressive]
[At this point, the protagonist thinks he’s powerful, but he’s only just embarked into the cultivation path. It’s still early in the novel, and he has to develop slowly]
[After receiving the inheritance , Ye Chen will encounter Tang Xiaofu being harassed by thugs on the mountain]
[Naturally, he defeats the thugs and has a heroic moment and saves the beauty]
[It’s a small part in Tang Xiaofu’s plot]
[That’s basically it. Today’s diary ends here!]
[Ah, life without a plot is so enjoyable!]
Chen Lang quickly finished writing his diary and tossed his phone aside.
He put the VR headset back on.
The heroines in the game were waiting for Master Lang to fight three hundred rounds!
…
At the Jiang family estate.
Ox Head Mountain? Inheritance?
Jiang Mengyao’s eyes flickered with a cold glint.
Ye Chen?
Since she chose to stand on the side of the villain, Chen Lang, the protagonist, Ye Chen, was naturally her enemy.
Ye Chen would definitely oppose the Jiang family in the future.
So, she couldn’t let him develop smoothly!
She immediately called over her subordinates.
“Go teach someone a lesson! This person might possess cultivation, so find some skilled experts.”
One subordinate bowed and asked, “Okay Miss, what extent should we go to?”
Jiang Mengyao thought for a moment. “Don’t kill him outright. Just make him suffer a bit.”
“Beat him half to death, mainly to check his strength.”
“Understood, Miss.”
Jiang Mengyao’s plan was cautious. She couldn’t directly eliminate Ye Chen to avoid causing the world to collapse or anything drastic.
But she couldn’t let Ye Chen grow secretly either.
So the best approach was to check Ye Chen’s strength and make him suffer a little.
By understanding Ye Chen’s strength, she could avoid being caught off guard in future encounters.
As the underground world queen, Jiang Mengyao naturally understood the importance of knowing yourself and your enemies to ensure victory.
…
In the outskirts of Nanjing City, on Ox Headed Mountain, the sun was shining brightly.
At this moment, Ye Chen was in a great mood!
He had just been discharged from the hospital this morning and had rushed back to his rented apartment to put together the two parts of the “Nine Heavens Dragon Slayer” technique.
Sure enough, he discovered a hidden map.
Following the map, he arrived at a cave near Ox Head Mountain and obtained a tremendous opportunity!
The opportunity was an inheritance left by the creator of the “Nine Heavens Dragon Slayer” technique from hundreds of years ago.
The moment Ye Chen received the inheritance, he felt a mysterious power emerge within him. He had stepped onto a grand threshold, entering a new world of cultivation!
As Ye Chen emerged from the cave, his confidence soared!
He regretted not getting this opportunity sooner! If not, how could he have suffered the humiliation at the auction and at the club?!
Ye Chen thought, ‘Chen Lang! Prepare for my raging revenge.’
“I’ll make you realize the terrifying existence you’ve provoked!’
“And Jiang Mengyao, as long as you apologized to me sincerely, I, Ye Chen, might forgive your disrespect of shooting at me.’
‘I will reconsider granting you my favor.’
While thinking, Ye Chen suddenly saw a familiar figure on the distant steps leading up the mountain.
Wasn’t that Tang Xiaofu?
Ye Chen followed her with a racing heart.
At that moment, Tang Xiaofu was climbing Ox Head Mountain and heading for the shrine at the top.
She had no classes today, so she brought three braided red ribbons to the temple for blessings.
This was a local tradition; residents would climb Ox Head Mountain to pray for blessings, hoping for quick recovery from misfortunes and future peace.
Poor Tang Xiaofu hadn’t seen today’s update in the diary.
She had no idea she was about to be harassed by thugs.
Recently, the diary had been focused on other heroines and Ye Chen, all within the high society circles, which had nothing to do with her, a female college student.
For her, reading the diary was just a way to keep tabs on Chen Lang’s daily life. She hadn’t expected her plot to come up so soon.
As expected, while she was walking, a group of ugly men suddenly appeared and blocked her path.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
“Hey, gorgeous, where are you heading?”
“Hiking alone must be boring. How about we keep you company?”
Tang Xiaofu was startled. “What do you want?”
“Just joking around. It’s broad daylight, what could we do?”
“You guys are scaring her!”
One of them took out some incense sticks.
“Fifty yuan each, lady. How about buying some?”
“These days, even gods won’t help you if you don’t spend money.”
Tang Xiaofu realized she was being forced into buying.
“Alright, I’ll buy one.”
She didn’t want to cause trouble and was about to pay for an incense stick.
At that moment, a shout came from behind!
“Tang Xiaofu, don’t be afraid! I’m here to save you!”
