“How should I put this? I suddenly felt like she was too shameless, treating me like a lapdog after I chased her for so long, so I just stopped liking her.”
Jiang Yu shrugged, saying indifferently,
“What does it matter how pretty she is? This world has no shortage of beautiful women.”
When these words reached Li Qingrou’s ears, the beautiful mother’s eyes immediately sparkled.
“You’re right! If you ask me, that Shen Family’s young lady is an ungrateful bitch. For all these years, she’s been bossing my precious son around. Who does she think she is?!”
“Before, you always said you liked her, so I didn’t want to speak ill of her. Now that you’ve seen the light, that’s good.”
Li Qingrou had never had a good impression of Shen Qing’er.
Her son, whom she had carried for ten months and pampered like a treasure at home, how could he become a dog to be called and dismissed at will in front of you?
Once, Shen Qing’er had a fever in the middle of the night, and her son rushed over in a panic.
As a result, he slept in the living room and was sent back without even being given breakfast.
You know, this was her precious son whom she couldn’t bear to let go hungry.
Another time, Jiang Yu also had a fever, but that Shen Qing’er didn't even show a word of concern.
When he sent a message to ask, she said she had a Level 4 exam coming up and couldn't be distracted, needing to focus on studying.
Damn it.
If it weren't for the “marriage contract,” she would have long gone to her house and cursed that bitch until she was bleeding from all seven orifices.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ve seen the light. I won’t hang myself on one tree.”
Jiang Yu smiled, “As the old saying goes, the great path should not be so small, and wives should not be so few.”
“My dream is to give all the girls in the world a home!”
Pfft—
Jiang Tianlong choked on his tea, coughed several times, and showed a complex expression.
Giving all the girls in the world a home, what the hell, are you a steel kidney?!
Jiang Tianlong once had the idea of giving all the girls in the world a home.
It wasn't until he met the naturally naive Li Qingrou that he realized what it meant for a true hunter to often appear in the form of prey, and what the fear of a middle-aged man was…
On the other hand, Li Qingrou was not surprised. In her opinion, her precious son deserved any woman in the world.
Jiang Tianlong wiped off the tea he had sprayed and sighed:
“Before, you always said you liked Shen Qing’er, so we didn’t tell you everything about the marriage contract.”
“Marriage contract?” Jiang Yu pondered for a moment.
The original novel did mention that he and Shen Qing’er had a marriage contract.
However, it was all just a plot device for the male lead to snatch the bride and show off, and it didn’t delve into how the marriage contract came about.
“When you were born, you were a stillborn baby.”
“Your mother was unwilling and asked her family to find an old Chinese doctor. He gave you a few acupuncture needles, and you came back to life.”
“The old Chinese doctor said that you had ‘Yang Sha wrapped around your heart,’ meaning your Yang energy was too strong at birth, but your body was weak. Therefore, the only way was to marry a woman with a ‘Xuan Yin Body’ before the age of 21 to dispel the Yang Sha.”
“We went through immense hardship to find that the newborn Shen Family’s young lady had a ‘Xuan Yin Body,’ and finally, we even used your maternal grandfather’s connections to set up this marriage contract.”
Jiang Tianlong put down his teacup: “Of course, if you’ve truly seen the light and don’t like the Shen Family’s young lady, we’ll help you search again. That old Chinese doctor said that a Xuan Yin Body is rare, appearing only once in a hundred years.
However, since we could find the Shen Family’s young lady, we can naturally find other Xuan Yin Bodies.”
“Xuan Yin Body, huh…” In Jiang Yu’s impression, Lin Qifan, due to his special physique, needed to approach women and absorb Yin energy to become stronger.
And Shen Qing’er happened to be a Xuan Yin Body with the strongest Yin energy.
Therefore, Lin Qifan chose to approach Shen’s father by fighting in underground black boxing matches, thereby becoming Shen Qing’er’s personal bodyguard, and finally tormenting him, the loyal lapdog, until his family was ruined.
“No, Dad,” Jiang Yu chuckled, “Didn’t I say I want them all?”
....
Lin City, underground black boxing arena.
“Next up, Lone Wolf Lin Qifan, against the champion, the late Yellow Rank Ancient Martial Artist, Abing!”
In the crowded underground black boxing arena, chips and cash were thrown like crazy into the two large boxes in front of the ring.
“Abing, kill that rookie! I sold my house and bet a million on you. If you lose, I’ll jump off a building!”
“Go, big brother rookie, who has passed five levels and slain six generals! Kill Abing! I bet five hundred thousand on you!”
Two people stood in the ring. On the left was the bald Abing, the eight-time consecutive champion of the underground boxing arena, a late Yellow Rank Ancient Martial Artist from the Southern Fist School. On the right was an unknown fighter who had only fought a few matches.
At least two-thirds of the people present bet on Abing to win.
The bald man, known as the rookie crusher, showed a cruel smile towards the young man who was wrapping his bandages.
The young man had an ordinary, slightly handsome face, a slender build, but his muscles gave a feeling of containing explosive power.
“Hey, kid, if you kneel down and call me daddy now, maybe I’ll go easy on you.”
Abing saw that the young man was unsmiling and grunted in dissatisfaction: “Hey, did you hear me?!”
Three minutes later.
“Ah ah ah ah ah, Daddy, stop hitting! My hand… Ah!!”
The downed Abing let out a pig-like howl, his entire left arm twisted into an exaggerated arc.
And the young man, stepping on his face, raised his arrogant chin, a devilish smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
“Remember, the one who defeated you is named Lin Qifan. Perhaps many years from now, on an afternoon when you’re chatting with others, having fought me will be your capital to boast about.”
At this moment, the ring girl outside the ring climbed in and respectfully said:
“Mr. Lin, our venue owner is looking for you. Please come with me.”
The ring girl had a hot figure, her wine-red hip-hugging skirt pulled up to her thighs.
Lin Qifan, who had just come out of a small mountain village, had never seen such a beautiful woman. His eyes immediately straightened, and he grinned:
“Let’s go, beautiful lady.”
Second floor VIP room.
Upon entering, two strong middle-aged men wearing Rolex watches and smoking cigars sat around a large round table.
One of them was Shen Wuwei of Shen Family Group, and the other was Li Bo, the owner of the underground boxing arena.
“This is the Ancient Martial Artist rookie I told you about, Lin Qifan. How about him, quite presentable, isn’t he, Old Shen? See if he meets your requirements,” Li Bo said, smoking his cigar and smiling as he introduced him to Shen Wuwei.
“Hello, I’m Lin Qifan.”
Lin Qifan curled his lips into a devilish smile, casually pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Shen Wuwei’s eyes lit up.
Good kid. Although his appearance was ordinary, his personality was rebellious, which suited his taste very well.
In the past few days, Shen Family Group had been competing with the Bai Family from Hu City for the leading position in the sanitary napkin industry. The Bai Family was much stronger than Shen Family Group and also kept some Ancient Martial Artists. In earlier years, their competitive methods were very ruthless.
Shen Wuwei himself wasn’t afraid of being ambushed; he had seen many storms. But what he worried about most was his daughter, Shen Qing’er.
A child is a father’s weakness. To protect his daughter, Shen Wuwei came to the underground boxing arena to inquire if there were any strong Ancient Martial Artists, and unexpectedly, he really found one.
After signing the contract, Shen Wuwei hesitated for a moment and pulled out his phone.
He hadn't told his daughter about finding a bodyguard for her yet.
After all, his daughter had a phobia of germs. If she made a fuss and refused, he wouldn’t be able to sign the contract with Lin Qifan. But if he didn’t sign the contract, he worried something might happen to his daughter.
The old veteran of the business world chose to act first and report later; perhaps the success rate would be higher.
“Hello?” Shen Qing’er glanced at the incoming call, picked up the phone, and said irritably:
“Dad, why are you calling? Didn’t I say not to call during my study time?”
“Cough cough, Qing’er, Dad found you a personal bodyguard… a male one.”
Before he finished speaking, a scream came from the other end of the phone: “Dad!!”
“Will you listen to Dad first? You’re Dad’s only daughter, and Lin City hasn’t been peaceful lately. Dad is just afraid you might…”
“Why didn’t you find a female bodyguard?! You know I have a phobia of germs, and it’s a personal bodyguard! I don’t care, tell him to get as far away as possible.” On the other end of the phone, Shen Qing’er said angrily.
She had been waiting for Jiang Yu’s apology call just now, and she felt proud for a while when the phone rang.
But when she saw it was her dad calling, her excited mood immediately cooled down.
Then her dad actually said he was going to find her a personal bodyguard! And a male one!
Her mood became even worse.
She said dejectedly: “Dad, if you really let him be my personal bodyguard, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
It appeared!
Shen Qing’er’s ultimate move, 【I won’t talk to you anymore】, could increase its power by 1000% against Shen Wuwei and the lapdog Jiang Yu.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard his daughter say that, Shen Wuwei’s tone and heart immediately softened.
He turned to Lin Qifan with an apologetic look and said, “This… my daughter doesn’t seem too willing.”
Lin Qifan frowned, glanced at the ancient ring on his left index finger, got up, and prepared to leave, planning to find another way to approach Shen Qing’er.
After all, his purpose in fighting in underground black boxing and approaching the Shen Family, besides earning some living expenses, was primarily to get close to Shen Qing’er, who possessed a Xuan Yin Body, and make her fall in love with him.
Just as Shen’s father was about to retract the contract and pay the penalty, Shen Qing’er’s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
“Wait a minute!”
Lin Qifan’s previously icy lips immediately curled into a confident smile.
Sure enough, fate was still on his side.
Whether it was picking up the ring containing his master’s remnant soul and stepping onto the path of cultivation, or making a name for himself in underground black boxing, along the way, at every critical moment, he would be favored by the goddess of fate.
Anything he wanted to do, anything he desired, nothing could stop him!
Xuan Yin Body… no, it should be said, the beautiful School Beauty with a Xuan Yin Body, was already his chosen First Lady.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Qing’er twirled her wet hair around her fingers.
Her usually aloof lips now curved into a cunning smile.
Heh heh, Jiang Yu, oh Jiang Yu.
Playing hard to get?
Interesting, truly interesting.
Shen Qing’er’s clever little mind was for the first time used for something other than studying.
She suddenly thought, since Jiang Yu planned to use ‘playing hard to get’ to pursue her.
Couldn’t she take this opportunity to use his own trick against him and also play ‘hard to get’?
Deliberately tell Jiang Yu that she has a male bodyguard, then act aloof and not explain anything he asks.
Then, Jiang Yu would definitely get anxious and realize that ‘playing hard to get’ couldn’t control her at all.
At that time, her relationship with Jiang Yu could return to being like ‘brother and sister’ as before.
All along, in Shen Qing’er’s heart, she thought their relationship was more like siblings than boyfriend-girlfriend.
Brother protects sister, brother helps sister solve all problems.
Isn’t that only natural?
“I agree, but this bodyguard shouldn’t be personal. He can only appear when I need him.”
Shen’s father immediately nodded: “Good, good, good, I’ll arrange it right away. Qing’er, go study diligently, Dad won’t disturb you anymore.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
“Little Lin, in that case, I will get your identity sorted out and arrange for you to enter Yingcai University. You will be my daughter’s exclusive bodyguard from now on. However, she has a phobia of germs, so don’t get too close to her normally.”
“Heh heh, don’t worry,” Lin Qifan rubbed his index finger against the tip of his nose, and put on a profound, pretentious air:
“I always know my limits with beautiful girls.”
“I won’t hold back against anyone who harasses Qing’er.”
