Xiao Tian stared blankly, holding his stinging cheek.
He looked at Qin Luo’s furious expression.
Then he turned his gaze to the surrounding crowd, who were pointing at him with looks of contempt and disgust.
Suddenly, he felt as if his body was shrinking, and the people around him seemed to become towering walls, pressing in on him until he couldn’t breathe.
Accusations, contempt, scolding.
Xiao Tian suddenly realized… he really had been wrong.
Why was he still deceiving himself?
Although he didn’t know where he had gone wrong, Old Master Lin’s treatment had indeed failed.
If Qin Luo hadn’t stepped in, Old Master Lin would have died.
Xiao Tian covered his face, slowly lowering his head, his eyes gradually turning dull.
Was I… wrong?
Lin Wanrong looked at Xiao Tian, who was collapsed on the ground with his head down, her eyes filled with extreme disgust. She cursed angrily, “You waste! Go back today and sign the divorce papers with me!”
“Then get the hell out of the Lin Family!”
!!
Xiao Tian opened his mouth, but only offered a bitter smile without answering.
Although he knew he was wrong, that didn’t mean he would divorce Lin Wanrong.
But… Lin Wanrong’s attitude toward him had definitely plummeted, with no chance of warming again.
No matter what, he had to hold on until his six-year term ended.
Suddenly!
Xiao Tian seemed to think of something.
A flicker of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Right! How could I forget!
These people don’t respect me, they hate me, they beat me, they curse me, they despise me.
It’s all because they don’t know my true identity and think I’m a fake Dragon King.
But!
Once my six-year term is up, my identity will naturally be restored!
At that time, everyone will know!
He, Xiao Tian!
Is the Dragon King!
Everyone will respect him, fear him!
And Lin Wanrong… will fall in love with him again!
That’s right!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian’s inner frustration vanished.
Instead, he raised his head, his face showing his former confidence. He shook his head and said, “Wanrong, I won’t divorce you.”
“Once I reclaim my identity, you will know what a great fortune it is to marry me.”
“As for the Su Family…”
Xiao Tian stood up and looked calmly at Qin Luo. “I’ll spare you for saving Old Master Lin’s life, and I’ll only cripple your limbs, as well as deal with the person behind you and her entire family.”
At these words.
Lin Wanrong was so angry that her whole body trembled. She pointed at Xiao Tian and cursed in disbelief, “Xiao Tian! You waste! You… you’re hopeless!”
She couldn’t believe where Xiao Tian got his confidence.
He was still being stubborn at a time like this?
Su Muwan’s expression darkened.
She had just been moved by Qin Luo’s intervention, but the moment she heard what Xiao Tian said, her mood sank to the bottom.
Seriously?
What’s wrong with you?
Why are you always fixated on me?
Su Muwan naturally knew who Qin Luo’s backer was.
It was none other than her!!
So in the end, she still had to fight to the death with the Dragon King, right?
No way around it.
Since things had come to this…
Su Muwan had to find another path.
Thinking this, she slowly walked over.
Meanwhile, Qin Luo was about to give Xiao Tian another hard slap.
“Ridiculous.”
“Destroy my Su Family, just because of a lowly live-in son-in-law like you?”
Suddenly.
A cold, indifferent voice came from behind Qin Luo.
Qin Luo was startled and turned around.
He saw Su Muwan approaching gracefully, radiating a chilling aura.
Her beautiful eyes stared coldly at Xiao Tian as she raised her hand.
Slap!!
“Ah… blegh!”
A palm strike laced with icy true energy slammed into Xiao Tian’s face.
Boom!!
Xiao Tian’s body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the corner of the hospital room and slamming heavily onto the floor. His body went numb, and he couldn’t get up.
Xiao Tian coughed up blood, his vision blurring.
He also realized that all the meridians in his body seemed frozen, making it impossible to control his own body.
He coughed blood, unable to speak.
So fast… when did she…?
This single palm… directly took away my ability to move!
The Eldest Miss of the Su Family… was actually so hidden and formidable!
So strong… ugh…
Xiao Tian’s consciousness faded, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.
Qin Luo was taken aback, then looked nervously at Su Muwan, who had struck so quickly beside him.
Gulp!
He swallowed hard.
Damn! Knocked out the Dragon King with one slap?! Is that something a human can do?!
This Su Muwan really is the big villainess from the original novel!
Her early-stage strength is not something an ordinary boss could have!
Right! Qin Luo’s eyes suddenly widened.
He remembered.
In the original novel, Su Muwan’s martial talent was the strongest in the world. Unfortunately, her favorite thing to do was order her subordinates to teach the protagonist group a lesson one by one.
Only after the protagonist group had developed would she deign to make a move, always overwhelming them with absolute strength.
But just like a cat toying with a mouse, Su Muwan’s greatest pleasure was constantly teasing and provoking the protagonist group to satisfy her own twisted desires.
After repeating this cycle, the protagonist group would fight small fries, level up, grow stronger, and finally band together to kill Su Muwan.
Sigh!
So if Su Muwan had always fought on her own, maybe none of this later stuff would have happened?
Tsk, no.
It’s not realistic to always have Su Muwan fight.
Qin Luo sighed inwardly.
This is the shared nature of big villains… they love to show off when ahead and show off even more when behind!
At that moment.
『Congratulations, host, for completing the 『Treat Old Master Lin』 mission.』
『Reward: 70% of the Lin Family’s assets, to be distributed in a reasonable manner later.』
The system notification came through.
Qin Luo’s lips curled slightly. Not bad.
On Su Muwan’s side, she withdrew her hand, her gaze shifting to Qin Luo’s face. She said calmly, “Let’s go.”
Qin Luo snapped back to reality and nodded. “Yes, young lady.”
Then, ignoring the stunned and shocked crowd.
Su Muwan and Qin Luo left the ward together.
Old Master Lin’s eyes were filled with terror as he tightly gripped the bedsheet.
The aura from that palm strike just now…
This Eldest Miss Su… was already at the Great Achievement realm?!
She was so young! Such a genius… truly rare in the world!
As for Xiao Tian, that Dragon King…
Old Master Lin withdrew his terrified gaze and glanced at Xiao Tian, who was sprawled out like a lump of flesh.
He sighed with disgust. “Take Xiao Tian back first. Once I’m recovered, I’ll hold a birthday banquet and publicly announce that Wanrong is divorcing this Xiao Tian!”
Lin Wanrong’s face lit up with joy. “Thank you, Grandfather!”
Great, a public announcement. This way, everyone would know that she, Lin Wanrong, had divorced that waste Xiao Tian.
And… she could go find her Brother Wang.
…
…
Vroom!
A convoy drove down the road.
One luxurious business car was surrounded and guarded by a fleet of black cars.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat together in the custom-made back seat of the business car.
Zhulan was in the driver’s seat, driving. The back seat was spacious enough for four people to sit facing each other.
A lavish square table sat between them.
This was Su Muwan’s special privilege for Qin Luo.
After all, this kid seemed the most loyal, so she had to give him some perks.
If possible, she wanted to mold Qin Luo into her most capable and loyal subordinate.
She leaned against the window, watching the scenery outside, recalling her own actions just now.
At this point, she already understood that she could only fight to the death with the Dragon King Xiao Tian.
So, since she knew that, there was no need to be timid anymore.
Thus, she had delivered that slap.
To be honest.
It felt really good!! (p≧w≦q)!!!
Su Muwan thought this as she glanced at Qin Luo, who was sitting upright across from her.
He was also looking out the window, lost in thought.
Heh, no wonder this guy liked slapping Xiao Tian’s mouth so much.
She didn’t blame him. If she didn’t care about her own and her family’s safety, she would go right now and teach all those past-life protagonists from novels a lesson!
But!
She had been killed in her past life. After her Reincarnation, if she could avoid it, she really wouldn’t dare do that.
Because…
She was scared!!
Provoking one Dragon King to the death was already her limit. Any more would be unpleasant.
Oh, right.
Su Muwan seemed to think of something. Her beautiful eyes shifted, and she turned her head to look at Qin Luo across from her.
“Qin Luo.”
Her tone carried a hint of interrogation. “You… where did you learn medicine?”
“And what did you promise Long Dingtian of the Antique City Association yesterday?”
Not long ago, Long Dingtian had showered her with praise, and she could only maintain a graceful smile.
But inwardly, she was thinking, when did I, the young lady, become so formidable?
At these words.
Qin Luo thought to himself, here it comes.
Fortunately, he had already prepared.
So he pretended to snap back to reality, turned to look at Su Muwan, met her gaze, and spoke with a hint of melancholy in his voice:
“Young lady, I’m actually an orphan.”
“When I was very young, an old man took me in as his apprentice, and that’s where I learned medicine.”
Orphan? Old man?
Wait?
Su Muwan’s body trembled, and her eyes widened.
How come I remember that the group of Chosen One protagonists were all orphans too?
You’re not trying to say you’re also a protagonist, are you?!
