Chapter 211: A Mysterious Compet.i.tion!
NeZha: Wow! Welcome, G.o.d Chen! (Three acting cute emoji)
Chen: What’s up?
Monkey King: We are going to have a mysterious battle tonight! We want to invite you to join us tonight!
Chen: Eh? Battle again? Is it a couplet compet.i.tion again? I will not lose! (Laugh evilly)
Li Bai: Haha! Genius! You need to be more humble! But, it’s not a couplet compet.i.tion this time! It’s some kind of special battle!
Chen: A special battle? What is that? Tell me now!
w.a.n.g Yizhi: Haha! There are a lot of powerful deities in this group, thus, the mystery will not be announced until the time of battle!
Chen: This is so mysterious! I want to be part of it! Please send me a text to remind me later!
Yanw.a.n.g: It’s a must! We are all looking forward to the surprise that G.o.d Chen is going to bring us later! (Grinning)
Chen: Oh right! Have they announced the rewards for this battle? Is it as awesome as the Scholar Heart? (Salivating)
Qianli Yan: I heard that it’s something similar to Scholar Heart! I have no idea about the exact details of the reward.
Chen: This is too d.a.m.n mysterious!
Bull Demon King: Hahaha…That’s why we are all looking forward to this mysterious battle!
Chen: You guys are getting really good at this kind mysterious battle! (Smile evilly) Please, remember to send me a text when the battle almost begins! I have a call coming in! Talk later.
Chen closed the group chat and picked up the call immediately.
“h.e.l.lo! Xiang Xiang Princess! Can I help you?” Chen put on a warm smile and said.
“Please don’t call me like that! I’m still in office!” Lin pouted. Chen could totally imagine her blus.h.i.+ng on the other side of the phone.
“Okay…Okay…Okay…I will stop fooling around. It should be something important right, since you are calling me at this hour.?” Chen smiled and asked.
“You are a mean pumpkin! I always talk seriously with you! Don’t keep flirting with me! I’m going to hang up the call!” Lin said jokingly.
“Alright…Alright…Alright…I will stop talking and let you do the talking. I will be a good listener.” Chen sounded slightly more serious.
“That’s better!”
Lin said seriously as well, “Can you come and look for me when you are free today? I want to talk to you about the friendly match between our university and the j.a.pan university.”
“Look for you today? Is your period coming today?” Chen asked.
“Nope! Why did you ask?” Lin answered unconsciously.
“Okay! I will come now! Wait for me, baby!” Chen hung up the call and rushed to Lin immediately.
Lin’s face turned red when she realized the thing that Chen just asked her. Chen ran to the staff room once he arrived the school with his car. Unfortunately, Lin was still working at this hour. Plus, there were other teachers in the staff room as well. Even though she didn’t have her period today, Chen couldn’t do anything dirty to her as well. Also, there were three male students and one female student standing beside Lin.
Those two male students were pretty tall and muscular. They definitely looked like the athletic type of guys. On the other hand, the girl was drop-dead gorgeous. She had a pair of delicate eyebrows, a sweet oval face, an elegantly straight nose, expressive dark eyes, and sensuous lips. She definitely can be compared with those superstars that we see on the TV. It’s hard to tell who is more gorgeous when she stood beside Lin.
When it comes to physical appearance, she is definitely more beautiful than Lin. But, her body is not as s.e.xy as Lin. Lin’s body is so voluptuous. Her S shape body with her sense of maturity are enough to make every man in this world fall for her!
That girl is pretty perfect as well. It’s just that her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were kind of flat. Too flat! Well, she is none other than the Flatboard Princess that Chen had met earlier; Murong Xiaoyao!
“How come it’s you?”
Xiaoyao was unhappy when she saw Chen approaching them. Earlier on, she had wanted to teach Chen a good lesson with her fists. However, it was a draw between them. That incident kind of hurt her self-esteem. For the past two days, she had been thinking of fighting Chen again.
“Xiaoyao, do you know Chen Xiaobei?” Lin asked.
Xiaoyao was still unhappy about Chen’s presence. However, she liked Lin Xiang. Thus, she nodded and said, “Yes. I know him.”
“Such a coincidence! It’s better this way! You guys will work together in the near future!” Lin smiled and said.
“What? Work together?” Chen asked, puzzled.
“Work together in the upcoming friendly match between us and the j.a.pan university!”
Lin smiled and said, “Let me introduce the rest of the partic.i.p.ants here. This is the captain of our football team; Li Yongbing. And, this is the captain of our fencing team; Wong Xiaoquan! And, this is the captain of our Taekwondo team; Murong Xiaoyao! So, the three friendly matches are football, fencing and Taekwondo!”
“I see.” Chen nodded. He realized that the purpose of Lin calling him here today was to introduce him to his team members.
“Bro Bei! I have heard a lot about you! I’m your diehard fans! I never thought that the person that Ms Lin recommended is you! I really looked forward to meeting you face to face! Can I take a picture with you later? I want to show it off on Weibo!” Li was really excited when he saw Chen.
“Lame!” Wong rolled his eyes at them and said to Lin, “Ms. Lin, I want to leave first since there’s nothing else important for me to do here!”
“Eh?”
Lin was shocked. She was thrown off my Wong’s att.i.tude.
“Wong, regarding Chen’s registration, I have not said yes to it,” Lin said.
“Ms. Lin and the vice president recommended him strongly. I have no right to say anything about it, but to say yes!” Wong said angrily and left the office.
“What is wrong with that guy?” Li said unhappily.
“I have no idea…He just got angry all of a sudden…” Lin shook her head and said.
“Hehe…Because someone offended his parents’ boss!” Xiaoyao smiled and said calmly.
“Someone? Are you talking about me?” Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
“Who else could that be?”
“Wong’s family business is relying on Meichuan Organization! You offended Meichuan last time! Thus, he is really unhappy about it!” Xiaoyao pursed her lips and said.
“Psst…I don’t really care about him!” Chen shrugged and said.
“Haha! My idol is really cool! I don’t care about that a.s.shole as well!” Li laughed.
Chapter 212: The Mysterious Compet.i.tion Begins!
After that, Lin spoke a few words before she left the office and went for her cla.s.s. Chen couldn’t even ask for kisses from Lin before she left. He had been grabbed hold of by Li to take pictures with him. Finally, he managed to escape from Li. Unfortunately, he was stopped by another person after he moved a few steps.
“Chen Xiaobei! Come here now!” Xiaoyao shouted.
“My dear secretary! Your att.i.tude is not right! You need to call me your chairman!” Chen pursed his lips and said.
“How dare you call me your secretary? Are you looking for some beating?!” Xiaoyao lifted up her punch and got ready to beat up Chen.
“Pssst…It’s not like you can win me in the combat!” Chen laughed mockingly. He wasn’t afraid of Xiaoyao at all.
“You…You really p.i.s.s me off…” Xiaoyao’s face turned red pretty quick. The fight last time had damaged her pride. Chen just sprinkled salt on her wound.
“Call me your chairman! If not, I will leave right now!” Chen laughed evilly.
“You…Mr. Chairman!” Xiaoyao gritted her teeth but she chose to obey Chen in the end. Well, she needed Chen to do something for her, thus the obedience.
“Nice! My secretary is such an obedient girl!”
Chen nodded satisfyingly and continued to say mockingly, “Spill it. What do you want me to do?” Luo rolled her eyes at Chen. All she wanted to do right now is to jump at Chen and beat the h.e.l.l out of him!
Then, she took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress her anger. She asked in a deep voice, “How’re the things that I asked you to prepare earlier?”
“Erm…Regarding this matter…Almost there…” Chen answered hesitantly. He had been pretty busy recently. Matters, like saving Lan and closing down the colosseum, had made him forget about the things that he promised Xiaoyao earlier.
“Almost is good…I’m going to warn you now, you will be killed by me if you screw up the charity performance tomorrow!” Xiaoyao said seriously.
“That’s not right! I remember you telling me that as long as I don’t make a fool of myself, I can just do my stuff on the stage! Why are you asking me to perform something that is out of this world now?!” Chen had a hard time fulfilling Xiaoyao’s demands.
“I don’t care! I want something out of this world! If not, you will definitely make a fool of yourself on the stage! And, I will be embarra.s.sed you as well!” Xiaoyao was getting more and more serious.
“Erm…After all, I’m the president of this charity foundation! I have donated thirty million! I don’t think I can make a fool of myself on the stage!” Chen said.
“Well, I have warned you! Think of something good for the stage if you want to leave a good impression on everyone! I need to leave first! I have something to deal with!” Chen pursed her lips and walked away from Chen.
“F*ck…This is making my life difficult!” Chen was speechless. He had now acquired a plethora of awesome skills, but none of them can be used to perform on the stage!
“d.a.m.n! I will not allow this happen to me! I’m always the one that embarra.s.ses others! Others are not allowed to embarra.s.s me!” Chen’s inner thoughts started to crawl all over his mind.
“I’m going to go back to learn something from the internet now! I will come up with something that would make everyone’s jaws drop!” Chen made up his mind and headed home immediately. He always thought that performing on stage would be something really simple. After some research, he found out that performing on the stage was not as easy as he thought.
For singing, one needs to be a fast learner and have a pinch of talent. It’s really hard to manipulate the voice once the voice is set in stone. Signing on the stage and Karaoke are entirely different things.
No more singing!
On the other hand, Chen felt that dancing is the thing that a real man will do. Also, things like costumes, dancing partners, lightings, stage and sound effects needed a long time to get done. It’s impossible to have everything done in a day.
No more dancing!
How about playing some musical instrument? Nope! I need a good musical instrument to come out with the best performance! Also, it’s not that easy to get my hands on a fine piece of musical instrument! Those people that attend the charity dinner are all from the upper-cla.s.s society! They will fill offended if they found out I’m using some kind of low-quality musical instrument!
No more playing a musical instrument!
“s.h.i.+t!!! It’s only a performance! Why am I scratching my head so hard!”
It was already six in the evening and Chen hadn’t even thought of a single viable performance. He decided to have his dinner first after his mom called him a few times. However, he lost all his appet.i.te once he thought about how he is going to embarra.s.s himself on the stage. He took a few mouthfuls of rice and went back up to his room.
“d.a.m.n it! I will not surrender to this simple task! I will definitely figure out something tonight! I’m not a coward! I will not back out!” Chen steeled himself.
Ding!
Message from the Red Envelope Group!
“s.h.i.+t! I forgot about the mysterious compet.i.tion!”
Chen tapped on his own head and thought.
He was placed in a state of dilemma right now. It’s impossible to do two things at the same time. He will be embarra.s.sed himself if he doesn’t take out the time to prepare for the performance. But, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the reward of the mysterious match!
“I don’t care! I will figure out the performance later!” Chen gritted and open the group chat immediately.
NeZha: Wow! G.o.d Chen is finally here! Our singing battle can finally begin! (Excited)
Chen: The battle of singing? How does this work? (Shocked)
G.o.d Xianle: Good question! G.o.d Chen! It’s not like you can beat up others to win the compet.i.tion when it comes to physical combat! Thus, we will select the winner based on the votes from the audience! The guy with the most votes will be the biggest winner!
Chen: Okay! Fair enough…How am I going to perform since I’m not present?
G.o.d Xianle: Don’t worry! Just record your voice message with your singing in it! We are all doing the same thing here! You can partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion from wherever you are!
“Haha! Voice messages! Nice!” Chen was all lighted up. He even rubbed his hands and smiled evilly.
Chen: I don’t have any further questions! (Smile)
G.o.d Xianle: Okay! Now, the singing compet.i.tion starts now!
Translator’s footnote
1. G.o.d Xianle: The G.o.d of sound.
Chapter 213: The Epic One!
G.o.d Xianle: Next! Let’s welcome our first contestant! Bull Demon King!
“d.a.m.n! Since when did the Bull Demon King know how to sing?!” Chen was shocked. He opened up his eyes wide and was waiting for the Bull Demon King’s message.
Ding!
Bull Demon King: (Sent a voice message)
Bull Demon King: Please enjoy! I’m going to sing the song called; My King Asked Me To Walk Around The Mountain! I hope everyone will like it! (Hehehe)
“d.a.m.n! This sounds interesting! And, the t.i.tle of the song is really special!” Chen raised his eyebrows and tapped on the play b.u.t.ton curiously.
[Yo! My king is asking me to walk around the mountain! Walk around the mountain!]
[Walk to the east of the mountain and kill the pa.s.ser bys! And, s.n.a.t.c.h their girls! Yoyoyo~]
[s.n.a.t.c.h the girl into the forest!]
[Ah~Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah~! The moaning wakes every bird up!]
….
*Giggle!*
Chen almost dropped his cellphone on the floor. This was his first time listening to a song like this! A special song from the Bull Demon King! The broken voice managed to give the others gooseb.u.mps! And, those vulgar lyrics were so indecent!
“This b.a.s.t.a.r.d has some real raw talent! Hahaha…How dare he join the singing compet.i.tion? Maybe he was sent by the Monkey King to make us laugh! Hahaha…” Chen thought. He was laughing and pressing on this stomach. Tears almost squeezed out from his eyes due to the excessive laugh. At the same time, people in the chat group were completely shocked as well.
Zhu Bajie: What the f*ck! What kind of song was this?! I was almost scared to death! (Vomit blood)
Shunfeng Er: What the heck! I’m going to become deaf! (Rolling eyes)
Monkey King: I was drinking some self-brewed beer and your voice almost chocked to me to death!
Jade Face Fox: Hubby…Your voice is really terrible…(Embarra.s.sed)
PaG.o.da-Bearing Heavenly King: Other than that terrible voice, the lyrics are terrible as well! It’s the worst! It’s going to bring bad influence to underage kids! NeZha, you are not allowed to listen to this kind of dirty song! (Angry)
Princess Iron Fan: You are one a.s.shole! Don’t come and look for me anymore! (Knife emojis)
G.o.d Xianle: Cough…This contestant is a complete joker! I, now announce that this joker has been disqualified! Don’t vote for him!
Bull Demon King: Not like this! You guys can’t do this to me! At least, let me know my points! (Crying)
Everyone: You got negative! Get lost!
…
G.o.d Xianle: Silence, please. Please forget about him! I promise you guys that things like this will not happen again!
Everyone: Better be! If not, we will close the group for good!
G.o.d Xianle: Don’t you worry guys! The next contestant will definitely not disappoint you guys! Let’s put our hands together to welcome the most gorgeous G.o.ddess in your group; Chang’e!
Zhu Bajie: Oh yeah! My G.o.ddess is coming up next! (Spamming salivating and clapping hands emoji)
G.o.d Erlang: We will support you, Chang’e sister! You are the best here! (Clapping)
NeZha: Chang’e sister! You are the best! Muacksss!
Other male group members: Muacksss!
…..
Everyone couldn’t wait to listen to Chang’e singing. Even Chen was looking forward to it as well.
Ding!
Chang’e: (Sent a voice message)
Chang’e: Thank you so much for all the support! I’m going to present you guys with a song called; Water Carries My Heart! I hope you guys will like it!
“Haha…This is a good song! w.a.n.g Fei sang it quite well. I believe that Chang’e can definitely perform this song flawlessly!” Chen couldn’t wait any longer. Then, he tapped on the play b.u.t.ton. Initially, he was going to compare the voice between Chang’e and w.a.n.g Fei. But, Chen was completely shocked when he heard Chang’e’s voice.
[When is the day coming? I hold the winegla.s.s in my hand and look up to the sky!]
That angelic voice! It was crisp, clear and o.r.g.a.s.mic! The first line of lyric managed to bring Chen to the place where Chang’e wants to express herself. He felt like he wants to have a shot of whiskey and just stare at the sky.
[I’m gone with the wind. Although the place is beautiful, it still couldn’t fill up the loneliness in my heart!]
There are so many hidden meanings in these lyrics! It just made everyone take in a long sigh. It said the palace that she currently stayed in is beautiful but there’s no one there except for her. The loneliness is extremely torturing!
[People leave all the time and the moon had different shapes from time to time]
[Things are never perfect!]
[I just wish someone can stay with me for the rest of my life.]
Chang’e used the last three lines of lyrics to express her wishes and feelings. Every single one was paying attention to every single word that she sang. Chen was getting teary after he listened to her song. He even started to sing the last line of the song.
Needless to say, Chang’s is born to be a singer!
Zhu Bajie: Oh my G.o.d! You are really my G.o.ddess! Too good! I’m literally crying right now! (spamming crying emojis) I’m totally voting for my G.o.ddess!
Su s.h.i.+: Thirty-two thousand likes! Chang’e sang this song flawlessly! There’s no one like her! I’m voting for her as well!
Shunfeng Er: Chang’e voice heal my ears! Vote! Vote for her!
All the other male group members: Too d.a.m.n good! Vote! Vote! I want to vote for my Chang’e sister! (Spamming kissing emojis)
G.o.d Xianle: Everyone! Please hold on first! Even though Chang’e’s voice is really good but you guys only have a chance to vote! I hope you guys can listen to the other contestants first! It’s fairer this way!
PaG.o.da-Bearing Heavenly King: I agree with him. If we all vote for Chang’e right now, then, the rest of the contestants don’t even need to perform anymore!
Li Bai: Yea! Don’t vote first! The human contestants have not performed yet!
Everyone: Agree…Let’s listen to others first! Send out the next contestants!
G.o.d Xianle: Next…
After that, the compet.i.tion was getting more and more interesting. Bo Ya sang a song called Water Flows Down From The Mountain. And, Ji Kang performed A Song About Guanglin. Their perfect tones made everyone crave for more. On the other hand, the contestants from the monster side performed as well. PiPa Jing performed a song called; House of Flying Daggers. Nightingale Lingyu sang a song called; Walking In Between Flowers. Their voices were pretty good as well! They were not professional singers but they were born with the talent to sing. The atmosphere in the group was getting more and more hyped. Those who wanted to vote for Chang’e changed their minds.
G.o.d Xianle: Everyone! Please be quiet! Next, we would like to invite our last contestant! I believe that his performance will definitely shock everyone! Let’s shout out this name together!
Everyone: G.o.d Chen!

Chapter 214: Things Took A Great Turn!
“d.a.m.n! It’s my turn now!”
Chen was shocked, “All I did just now was to appreciate others’ performance. I am so not prepared for it! I don’t know how to sing nor play any music instruments….”
NeZha: G.o.d Chen, upload your voice clip, quick! I want to support you! (Muacks)
Monkey King: I can’t wait to listen to your voice!
Chang’e: G.o.d Chen! I’m looking forward to your performance as well! (Blushed)
Caishen: Quick! Quick! Quick!
Moon Lord: G.o.d Chen! Give us your best! (Clapping)
Huatuo: Quick…
…
Chen did really well in the couplet compet.i.tion previously. Thus, everyone was expecting something great from him. His cellphone was flooded with tones of urgent message.
G.o.d Xianle: G.o.d Chen! You better act fast! If not, it’s not fair for everyone! Everyone will think that you are cheating! Then, you won’t be able to receive any votes!
Chen! Alright! I will do it now! I’m recording it right now! I need two minutes!
“F*ck! No choice! I need to give them what I have with me right now! Luckily, I still have the song; Little Apple downloaded in my cellphone!
Without wasting any time, Chen quickly looked for the song, played it, recorded it, and sent it to the group.
Ding!
[Chen Xiaobei has just sent a message!]
The whole group became silent the next second. Chen was holding the phone in his hand and antic.i.p.ating the comments from his group members.
Zhu Bajie: Sounds pretty ordinary…The tune is nothing special and the lyric sounds pretty childish as well. My G.o.ddess’ song definitely sounds better than him! (Pouted)
Moon Lord: Erm…Too energetic and chaotic…Not my type of song…
Shunfeng Er: Erm…I think you can pa.s.s the compet.i.tion, but it’s really nothing special…
Li Bai: Seems like G.o.d Chen is not good at singing at all. I’m a little bit disappointed!
NeZha: How come there are no compliments or positive comments? I think the song is great! It made me wants to dance along with the song! (Acting cute)
Monkey King: I think it’s not bad as well! My gang of monkeys was dancing and jumping around when they heard the song!
G.o.d Erlang: Only monkeys will like this kind of song! They have not fully evolved yet!
Monkey King: What do you mean by that? What’s wrong with being a monkey? I’m a monkey and I can beat you up real bad!
Chen: Two of you, calm down, please. Don’t get angry. This compet.i.tion is all about bringing all of us here closer! Friends.h.i.+p always comes first before winning and losing!
Monkey King: I know that friends.h.i.+p should always come first! But, that three-eyed guy just criticized your song! That drives me mad!
Chen: You guys are actually right! Compared to the other songs just now, my song was pretty bad!
Monkey King: What do you mean by that?
Chen: Those contestants before me were prodigious level kind of contestants! Their voices are so good. And, I really liked their performance as well! I even wanted to vote for them after listening to their singing! I won’t feel bad even if I lose this compet.i.tion today!
Monkey King: Brother! You are such a nice guy!
Moon Lord: It’s so rare to see this kind of good att.i.tude in a youngster like you!
Chang’e: G.o.d Chen, you are so manly! (Eeeeeek…)
G.o.d Erlang: Chen’s performance was pretty normal but I have huge respect towards your good att.i.tude! Likes!
…..
All of a sudden, everyone started to praise Chen.
“I have lost the compet.i.tion, but I have won everyone’s hearts! Hehe…” Chen grinned. He didn’t really care about winning or losing in this compet.i.tion.
G.o.d Xianle: Okay! All the contestants have submitted their performances! It’s time for you guys to vote now! Everyone only gets one chance to vote! Please write down your favorite contestants and send it to me!
“Since I already to lose this compet.i.tion, I might as well vote for Chang’e sister!” Chen thought.
The process of calculating the votes finally finished after a couple of minutes.
G.o.d Xianle: Next, I will announce the voting result for this compet.i.tion! The person placed in sixth place is G.o.d Chen! 2333 votes!
G.o.d Xianle: Fifth placing goes to Nightingale Lingyu! 4588 votes!
G.o.d Xianle: Forth placing goes to Pipa Jing! 5033 votes!
G.o.d Xianle: Third place goes to Ji Kang! 7878 votes!
G.o.d Xianle: The second placing goes to Bo Ya! 9075 votes!
G.o.d Xianle: The first placing!!! Our champion of this compet.i.tion is Chang’e!!! 18876 votes! Let’s put our hands together and congratulate her…
Chang’e: Hold on! G.o.d Xianle! The number of the votes is not right! There are supposed to be more votes! (Puzzled)
NeZha: Eh? I just noticed as well! There are at least sixteen thousand group members who have not voted yet!
Monkey King: Sixteen thousand…Sixteen thousand…That’s the number of people in the underground realm!
G.o.d Erlang: d.a.m.n! Where are Yanw.a.n.g and his followers? They are not even present in this compet.i.tion!
Moon Lord: That’s weird! Yanw.a.n.g loves singing! How is he not here today?!
G.o.d Xianle: Ask those spirits that came from the underground realm! @Li Bai @Ji Kang @Bo Ya
Li Bai: Yes! I know about it! Yanw.a.n.g put up an announcement to ask everyone to join in the group dance together…I didn’t go because I don’t like dancing…
Bull Demon King: What the h.e.l.l is group dancing? Seems really interesting! It made Yanw.a.n.g miss the singing compet.i.tion!
Caishen: I have no idea as well…
G.o.d Xianle: @Yanw.a.n.g. Are you guys coming to vote?! You have three minutes! You will be disqualified if you failed to come within three minutes!
Yanw.a.n.g: I’m coming now! I’m coming now! We just finished the group dancing! Give me some time to listen to the voice clip!
Black Officer of Impermanence: Give us a couple of minutes, please!
Mengpo: We will vote once we finish listening to all the voice clips!
…
“d.a.m.n! People from the underground realm are here! Things might just take a great turn!” Chen thought while looking at the chat. His hope was all lost earlier, but seems like there was light at the end of the tunnel. He knew better than anyone that those group members from the underground realm really liked the song that he had sent to them. A few minutes later, someone finally voiced up.
Grandma Rong: What the h.e.l.l! How did you guys vote? Why is G.o.d Chen being placed at the last place? I’m not happy with the result!
Yanw.a.n.g: Me too! G.o.d Chen’s Little Apple went viral in our realm within three days! It brought so much happiness! Everyone likes it a lot! Chen has to be placed at the first place!
Horse Face: G.o.d Chen is number one!
Army of grannies: G.o.d Chen is number one!!
Judge Cui: I won’t say much! Vote! Vote! G.o.d Chen deserves the first place!
Chapter 215: The Pill of True Sound!
Zhu Bajie: No way! It’s impossible for anything to go viral within three days! I might be dumb, but you won’t fool me with this kind of lame joke!
Shunfeng Er: I don’t think that song is that powerful!
G.o.d Erlang: Did Chen just bribe them?
Granny Rong: Don’t speak a word if you have not seen it for yourself! I have proof here! (Intense staring)
Ding!
[Granny Rong just uploaded a video clip!]
“d.a.m.n! I can’t believe Granny Rong recorded their dance! This is interesting!” Chen was all lit up. He quickly tapped the video clip to play it. An impressive scene was shown along with the song; Little Apple in the video. Tones of spirits were lined up in the same formation at a broad s.p.a.ce! The formation was so big that there was almost no end to it. The grannies that stood in front of other spirits started to dance when the music played. Then, the rest of the spirits tried their best to follow the moves.
The formation of those spirits was similar to school aerobics. The number of the spirits was equal to the students from twenty schools added up together! It was a magnificent sight!
Zhu Bajie: d.a.m.n! This song has been brought to life by the dance moves! Even I want to dance with them right now!
Shunfeng Er: You don’t say! With this dance, I’m going to give G.o.d Chen 82 points! I will give him the rest of the 18 points, monthly!
Moon Lord: Aiyo! I want to join them as well! I will give my vote to G.o.d Chen if I’m allowed to vote again!
NeZha: This is what I told you guys earlier on! This song’s beats are awesome!
G.o.d Erlang: I’m learning the dance moves right now! Hahahaha!
Monkey King: I thought you mentioned earlier that only monkeys like this kind of song? You just slapped your face with your own words!
G.o.d Erlang: I take back what I said earlier! This song has awesome beats!
Monkey King: Hmph! Of course! That’s my brother’s production! It has to be awesome!
…..
Waves and waves of discussion started to surface after Granny Rong uploaded the video clip to the group chat. Most of the people changed their opinions towards Chen’s performance. Now, they liked the song a lot!
“Haha! Now I understand! It’s like peanut b.u.t.ter and jelly! Oreo and milk! Little Apple must be presented along with the dance to show its true power!” Chen thought and grinned. He was secretly happy when he saw all the compliments.
Technically speaking, he was not the one that sang Little Apple, but he was the one who designed the dance moves! This is really satisfying!
“Now, I should really pay attention to the result of the voting! There are sixteen thousand votes from the underground realm! This number will bring me close to Chang’e votes! Let’s see if I have the chance to make a great turn!” Chen thought and smiled. A few minutes later, an unexpected result is revealed.
G.o.d Xianle: Let me announce the new voting results! G.o.d Chen got 18876 votes! Tied with Chang’e!
Zhu Bajie: Such a coincidence!
NeZha: This is fate!
Monkey King: Then, we will have two champions then! No big deal!
G.o.d Xianle: Cough…There can’t be two champions in this compet.i.tion…Because, I have prepared only one prize…
Granny Rong: Man! You are so stingy! I don’t care! You have to give this to G.o.d Chen!
Granny Rong might look evil on the TV show but she is actually a very loyal and protective person.
Chen: Thank you, Granny Rong, for supporting me! I have to be the gentleman in a situation like this! I’m ready to give this prize to…
Chang’e: Hold on! G.o.d Xianle! I have a question! Who did G.o.d Chen vote for just now?
G.o.d Xianle: Let me check my conversation history first!
….
G.o.d Xianle: Found it! He voted for you just now!
Chang’e: Eeeeeek…G.o.d Chen, you are such a sweet guy! I have not voted yet! I’m going to vote for G.o.d Chen right now! (Face turning red)
Chen: Chang’e sister, are you kidding me? (Shocked) This is the vote that will define the final winner of this compet.i.tion!
Chang’e: I’m serious! I just voted for you! Hehehe… (Smiling)
G.o.d Xianle: I have received the vote from Chang’e! Now, I officially announce the champion of this compet.i.tion…G.o.d Chen!!!!! (Clapping)
Chen: d.a.m.n! You really voted for me! Chang’e sister! You didn’t have to do this to me! My face just turned red!
Chang’e: Hehe…You are most welcome! You were sweet to me…Thus, I must be sweet to you as well! (Sticking the tongue out)
Chen: Thank you so much for your sweet gesture! I have nothing to say but to receive it with all my heart! I will definitely treat you even better in the future! (Love hearts)
Chang’e: Then, I will treat you even better as well! (Love heart)
Chen: Then, I shall treat you ten times better! (Love heart)
……
G.o.d Erlang: Oi! Oi! Oi! Both of you! Please don’t do this to us publicly in the group! You guys have to consider those who are still single!
Xiao Tianquan: What the h.e.l.l! I’ve been splashed with a face full of love hearts! This is so torturing!
Moon Lord: This is so cruel! Have you guys ever thought of the feelings of Zhu Bajie?
Zhu Bajie: Sobbing…My eyes have turned blind due to excessive crying! I’ve been sweet to Chang’e all the time as well! Why does she ignore me all the time? Moon Lord! You better come here! I promise I won’t beat you up!
….
G.o.d Xianle: Cough… Everyone! Stop fooling around! It’s time for the prize giving ceremony! Now, I will send this big Red Envelope to G.o.d Chen!
Ding!
[G.o.d Xianle just sent a Red Envelope to the group!]
“Muahahaha!!! I managed to turn the tide around! I went from the last place to the first place! This is insane! Let me s.n.a.t.c.h it!” Chen thought happily.
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have s.n.a.t.c.hed a Red Envelope from G.o.d Xianle! You have received the Pill of True Sound! It had been stored in your treasure chest!]
“The Pill of True Sound? What is that?” Chen was really curious.
The Scholar’s Heart that he received last time was beyond awesome! This might be just as good! Chen went back to the group and chit chatted with the group members for a while. He purposefully thanked Chang’e as well. After that, he closed the group chat and checked on the pill.
Ding!
[The Pill of True Sound; Personally crafted by Taishang Laojun! Top tier heavenly pill! You will be able to master all kinds of sounds after consuming this pill! (PS: Your sound can be used as a weapon as well. Please be careful!) Do you want to withdraw it?]
Chapter 216: Hanging A Board In Front Of The Chest
“Mastery towards sound? I can weaponize my sound as well?! Such a special effect! Let me consume it first!” Chen took a good look at the detail and withdrew it without any hesitation. A jade-like, light purple pill appeared in Chen’s palm. Chen popped it in his mouth right away. All of a sudden, Chen could feel a stream of Qi starting to enter his body. Then, the Qi slowly gathered at the top of his head.
After that, Chen could feel clearly that part of his brain was tingling.
“Is this how you feel when one breaks through the brain’s limit?”
With Scholar’s Heart, Chen could really feel the process of breaking through in his brain. An unknown area in his brain had been discovered. It’s the area of sound! Sound is a word with a lot of meanings. Listening, speaking, reading and singing are all closely related to sound! Chen had a different perspective towards sound right now. He put away his cellphone, closed his eyes and walked outside the house.
“These are the footsteps of Sirius…Xiaobai is snoring again…Mom is sewing something…Dad is walking towards the toilet…Eh! There’s a mosquito!”
Chen followed the direction of the sound and squeezed both of his fingers together. He could feel something wet in between his fingers. It was the mosquito!
“What the f*ck!! This is like the listening skill that I see in movies! This is freaking awesome!” Chen was jumping up and down excitedly. Then, he went and hid at the corner of the wall. After that, he started to play with his sounds. He manipulated the muscles near his esophagus and the flow of air as well.
“Xiaobai! Xiaobaiiiii….” Chen grinned evilly and shouted.
“Puti Sister! How come you are here…”
Xiaobai was completely woken up by the voice. He walked to the corner and found that Luo is not there. All he saw was Chen sitting there and laughing hysterically.
“Eh?”
Xiaobai pouted and a sense of suspicion could be seen in his sapphire liked eyes.
“Master? Was that you talking just now?”
“Haha! Who else?! Your Puti Sister doesn’t even know Zoolingualism!” Chen grinned. He was really satisfied with his first voice imitation.
“d.a.m.n you! That is exactly like Puti’s voice!”
Xiaobai was shocked. He pursed his lips and said unhappily, “I thought Puti Sister was here to visit me! You made a fool out of me!” Then, Xiaobai just gave Chen a cold back and left him.
“Oh my G.o.d! This pill is awesome! Next, I need to figure out something for me to sing!”
Chen raised his eyebrows and put on a proud look, “I don’t think I need to worry about the performance tomorrow since I have mastered sounds in general! Hmph! I want to see who has the b.a.l.l.s to embarra.s.s me tomorrow! I will make sure that the person suffers from my wrath!”
Singing is all about manipulating the sound wave, thus, Chen didn’t even take some time out to practice singing. Plus, he had a few favorite songs. He knew the lyrics from his heart.
“According to the description of the pill, it was mentioned that I can weaponize sound! I guess that it should be similar to the Lion’s Roar Skill that I watched on TV! Also, it’s late at night now. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to try now. Let’s try it some other time.” Chen thought. Then, he went to bed after he showered.
The next morning, Chen received Xiaoyao’s call, first thing in the morning. The charity dinner starts at seven at night. There was a lot of preparation work that was needed to be done before it started. However, Chen was not nervous about it at all. He went and plucked a few peaches, put in the box and left it in the trunk of his car. Then, he put on the suit that he wore during the grand opening of Beichen Jewelry shop. After that, he asked Jing Fei to become his driver for the day. This made Chen looked like a successful businessman.
The venue of the charity dinner was located at the high-cla.s.s ballroom of Shangri-La hotel. Everyone was well prepared when Chen and Jing Fei arrived at the hotel. Well, Xiaoyao is really an efficient helper. These few days, Chen did not do a single thing at all. All the preparations were completed by Xiaoyao! Judging by the decoration of the ballroom, one can know that Xiaoyao had put great effort into every single detail of this charity dinner.
“*sshole Chen! You are late!”
It was Xiaoyao’s voice. Chen and Jing Fei were stunned when they landed their eyes on Xiaoyao. She wore a princess hairstyle today. There was a crystal hair band on her head. It made her look really pleasant and ravis.h.i.+ng. Also, she wore a red gown tonight. The body tight design showed off her pair of long and elegant legs perfectly. The combination of her juicy b.u.t.tocks and pair of perfect legs is definitely an amazing scene to die for!
“Every single part of her body is perfect except…It’s just too d.a.m.n flat…”
Chen shook his head and planned secretly, “I remember seeing the b.o.o.b enlarging ma.s.sage from The King of Medicine’s Journal. I should look for an opportunity to do her this favor. It should be considered as something sweet!”
“*sshole! Why are you keep staring at my b.r.e.a.s.t.s? Looking for some beating?” Xiaoyao already walked to Chen. She was extremely angry when she found out Chen had his eyes on her b.o.o.bies.
“You call those b.o.o.bies? I thought that it was some kind of board hanging in front of your body…” Chen pursed his lips and laughed evilly.
“What did you just say?! *sshole! I will kill you now!” Xiaoyao lifted her fist and moved towards Chen.
*POM!*
*POM!*
*POM!*
Xiaoyao is actually quite strong. But, Chen was not weak either. The two of them started to fight out in the open. There were multiple punches going on within few seconds.
“d.a.m.n! They are too d.a.m.n powerful…”
Jing Fei was completely stunned by their fighting. Jing Fei used to be much more powerful than Chen. Now, Jing Fei didn’t even dare stand near them. He was afraid that they might hurt him accidentally. Jing Fei knew better than anyone that it’s impossible for him to surpa.s.s Chen.
“s.h.i.+t…s.h.i.+t…”
A young worker ran towards them suddenly. He was looking really nervous.
Chapter 217: Spoiled Little Girl!
“What the h.e.l.l happened? Why are you so fl.u.s.tered?”
Xiaoyao quickly stopped the fight with Chen. She started to put on a serious look. Everyone knew that Xiaoyao had put a lot of effort in this charity dinner. Thus, she will not allow anything to go wrong tonight.
“Kitchen…All the ingredients that we prepared earlier on have been sabotaged by someone!” The male worker said nervously.
“WHAT?!”
Xiaoyao’s face sank after she heard the news. She rushed to the kitchen immediately.
“It’s just some ingredients. What’s so big deal about it? We can just purchase them from the market, right?” Chen shrugged. He had no idea why Xiaoyao is so anxious about it.
“You have no idea…Those ingredients are not those ordinary ingredients that we can find in the wet market!”
The male worker’s face belonged to a corpse. He said worryingly, “Australia lobster, truffle from France, caviar, Kobe beef…All these ingredients were imported by air…It’s impossible to acquire them in Green Vine City!”
“d.a.m.n! Those are good stuff! Xiaoyao is such a prodigal girl! She shouldn’t have spent the money for charity on all these high-cla.s.s ingredients! I should spank her later!” Chen pursed his lips and said.
“You have blamed her wrongly.”
The male worker quickly explained, “Ms. Xiaoyao bought all these ingredients with her own savings. She did not touch the charity money at all!”
“I see…”
Chen was shocked, He knew that he had wronged Xiaoyao. He started to feel guilty when he thought of the effort that Xiaoyao had put in this charity dinner.
“Where is the kitchen? Lead the way…” Chen squinted. He started to get serious as well. It was a mess when he got to the kitchen. All the expensive ingredients were completely destroyed. They were all over the floor, stepped by someone. Xiaoyao was biting her lips angrily. Even her knuckles had started to turn pale due to the hard squeezing. Her face was filled with sadness and worry. She was sad because all her effort was all wasted. And, she was now worrying about where to get all these ingredients before the charity dinner starts. Without the ingredients, she would have to call the dinner off. Also, the quality of the dinner will drop greatly if she decides to buy some other ingredients to replace all these expensive ingredients.
“Don’t be sad…It’s not really a big deal…” Chen walked to Xiaoyao and consoled her.
“It’s easy for you to say! What are we going to do with our charity dinner now?!” Xiaoyao frowned and her eyes started to get teary. This disaster had a huge impact on her heart because G.o.d-knows how much time and money she had taken to prepare all these ingredients.
“Pumpkin, you said it yourself that this is our charity dinner. I think it’s time for you to sit back and relax. Just leave the rest for me to solve!” Chen lifted up his hand and brushed Xiaoyao’s hair.
“Eh?”
Xiaoyao felt different this time. She actually felt that she could totally rely on Chen to solve everything. She was even tempted to lean her head on Chen’s shoulder. Maybe, she really can leave everything to Chen. With this thought, all her stress was gone. She realized that her princess hairstyle was completely messed up by Chen when she finally calmed down. The way Chen brushed her hair is not a thing that a normal friend would do. Her face turned red immediately.
“Don’t mess up my hair! It took a long time for me to set it right!”
Xiaoyao pushed away Chen’s hand gently. Then, she asked, with her face blus.h.i.+ng, “How are you planning to deal with this problem?”
“First, we need to catch the person who is responsible for this sabotage! Beat him up!” Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
“It’s not as simple as you think…I have talked to the security guard just now. He told me that he had not seen any suspicious individuals coming in just now. Also, the door was locked as well!” Xiaoyao said.
“Idiot!”
Chen pointed at the ventilation pipe above him and said, “There’s more than one entrance!”
“This guy is slick! These ventilation pipes can lead everywhere. Also, he has left for some time. How are you going to know the route he chose?” Xiaoyao asked curiously.
“I will have my way! Just watch me! I will get that son of the b.i.t.c.h!” Chen talked while jumping onto the stove. Then, he opened the ventilation cover and went into the piping system quickly.
“Be careful! I don’t want anything bad to happen to you!” Xiaoyao reminded Chen loudly. She will definitely go with Chen if she wasn’t wearing the gown. Shangri-La hotel is the biggest hotel in Green Vine City. There are at least thirty plus floors in this hotel. The piping system is even more complicated than an ant’s nest. A few minutes entering the piping system, Chen already saw a dozen of diverging paths. One will definitely get lost without a map, let alone catch the person who is responsible for the mess in the kitchen. The person might even have a hard time exiting this place.
“Hehe! Luckily, I have mastered true sound! Locating the a.s.shole shouldn’t be a big problem for me!” Chen calmed himself down and started to pay attention to the sounds in piping system. Normally, there’s only the sound of airflow here. Thus, Chen can listen to the sound that didn’t belong here easily, especially the sound of footsteps.
“I found it!”
Chen beamed. He quickly headed to the direction where the sound came from. The enemy was way ahead of Chen, but the enemy needed to stop from time to time, to check on the map. Two minutes later, Chen managed to catch up with him.
“Who is that?!”
The skinny guy sensed some movement from behind him. He almost peed his pants.
“Uhhhuhh! j.a.panese!”
Chen raised his eyebrows. He could understand his language.
“Seems like Meichuan Neiku is the one who sent you here to sabotage us!” Chen asked with his fluent j.a.panese.
“You have no idea! I’m going to warn you, not to mind in the businesses of others! If not, you will die here!” The skinny guy stared at Chen without any fear.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Later phase of physical stage, Health: 1500, Combat power: 1500!]
Chen did not underestimate his enemy. He used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to a.n.a.lyze his enemy first. This guy is not some low-life thug. That’s why he had the b.a.l.l.s to threaten Chen. Unfortunately, his combat power was merely a joke to Chen.
“You will soon know who will be the one that die here!”
Chen focused on his enemy, stomped on the ground and charge at his enemy.
“Such speed! It’s unbelievable for a youngster like you possesses such immense power! But, you are going to fall today because I’m your opponent!” The skinny guy roughly deduced Chen’s combat power. There was no fear in his eyes at all.
*Fussshhhh…*
The guy threw a black ball at Chen without any warning.
Chapter 218: Sold In Five Seconds!
“What is this?”
Chen frowned. The black ball looked oddly familiar. But, he couldn’t remember where and when he last saw it.
*POM!*
A stream of yellow smoke filled the s.p.a.ce instantly once the black ball landed on the ground. Chen couldn’t see anything in front of him at all.
“s.h.i.+! It’s a smoke bomb! Is this guy a ninja?!”
Now, Chen realized why the black ball looked some familiar to him. Those ninjas in anime always used smoke bombs to escape from dangerous situation. However, this skinny ninja did not plan to escape from the scene, but to kill Chen here!
“Kid! Are you completely petrified?”
The ninja laughed arrogantly and said, “I admit that you are definitely more powerful than me! But, your movements are completely restricted in this narrow piping system! Plus, you are completely useless when you can’t see anything around you! I advise that you just stay there and let me slit your throat! Hahaha!”
“Idiot! Do you really think that I need my eyes to fight with you?! I can kill weaklings like you with my eyes closed!” Chen had already closed his eyes. There was a smile on his face.
“F*ck! This Chinese kid is too d.a.m.n arrogant! Don’t act tough before you die! Do you really think that I can’t kill you when I have the advantage over everything?!” The skinny ninja shouted angrily.
He was expecting Chen to beg for his mercy in this critical situation, not taunt him even more.
“You are a dog that eats s.h.i.+t!” Chen pouted and continued to taunt his opponent.
“You son of the b.i.t.c.h! I can’t believe that you have the b.a.l.l.s to scold me! Die now! b.i.t.c.h!” The skinny ninja screamed and both of his hands started to move.
*Fussshhh!*
*Fussshhh!*
*Fussshhh!*
Three sharp Shurikens were tossed at Chen.
“Up, middle and down!”
Through the sound of the wind, Chen managed to locate the direction of the Shuriken! Then, he proceeded to catch the Shuriken with his fingers.
“Ouch! It’s so painful! Ouch…”
Chen managed to neutralize his opponent’s attack but he had no plan to say it out loud. On the contrary, he started to act as if he was. .h.i.t by the Shuriken and was groaning in pain. There was an evil smile on his face while he was acting.
“Hmph! a.s.shole! Now, you know that I’m really good at what I do! n.o.body asked you to taunt me just now! It’s your own doing! Now, you know the pain!” The skinny ninja started to laugh proudly. Then, he unleashed the short knife from his waist and walked towards Chen.
“Five meters…Three meters…Two meters…” Chen still had his eyes closed. Through the sound of the footsteps, Chen was counting the distance between him and the skinny ninja.
“Hehe…I was just fooling around with you! Do you really think that you are better than me?!” Chen grinned and tossed the Shurikens in his hand at the ninja.
*Fussshhh!*
*Fussshhh!*
“s.h.i.+t! It’s a trap!” The skinny ninja was shocked when he heard the Shurikens flying at him. He tried his best to dodge the Shurikens. Unfortunately, the tossing distance was too near. Plus, Chen’s aiming was way too accurate. It was d.a.m.n near impossible to dodge it!
*p.i.s.sshhh…*
*p.i.s.sshhh…*
It was a direct hit! Two Shuriken landed on the skinny ninja’s right chest and inner left side of his thigh. He was so close to losing his manhood.
“Ouch…Ouch…”
The skinny ninja started to groan in agony. Those two Shuriken were planted deep inside his flesh. He did not dare to pull it out. He was worried that he might bleed out. At that very moment, he finally came to a realization that Chen is not the kind of opponent that he should mess with! Time to run! The skinny ninja started to run without any hesitation.
“Hehe…Do you really think that you can outrun me?!”
Chen grinned and tossed the third Shuriken at him.
*p.i.s.sshhh…*
After some serious calculations, Chen aimed at his target’s *sshole and tossed the Shuriken in his hand with a perfect curve. It stuck deep inside his a.s.shole.
“Ooooooooo!”
An extremely painful cry was echoing throughout the piping system. He fell on the floor, clutching his b.u.t.tocks, and started to shake uncontrollably.
“Tell me now! Who is the one that sent you here?! If not, I will let you experience something even more painful than this!” Chen walked out from the yellow smoke and said coldly.
“Hmph! Give up! I’m a ninja! I have the spirit of ninjas in me! I will remain absolutely loyal to my master!” The skinny ninja gritted his teeth and said with a strong sense of righteousness.
“Spirit of ninja? Sounds awesome!” Chen grinned and a silver needle could be seen in his hand.
“You…What are you trying to do to me?” A sense of despair started to surface in the skinny ninja’s heart. He started to move away from Chen by dragging his b.u.t.t.
“I’m not going to do anything to you. I just want to see whether your spirit of ninja is more awesome, or my little silver needle here!” Chen smiled evilly and started to walk towards him slowly.
“Silver needle? Are you trying to torture me?” He was stunned at first. Then, he started to laughed coldly, “Hmph! Save your strength! I have gone through different kinds of torturing before I become a ninja! Don’t even expect me to tell you anything with that stupid needle!”
“Is that right?”
Chen grinned and poked the needle into the skinny ninja’s chest.
“Ah…Ooooo…Ouch…I will tell you anything you want to know! Wong Xiaoquan is the one who sent me here! Stop the torture, please!” He only managed to withstand the pain for five seconds before he told Chen everything. The spirit of the ninja is non-existent under the influence of excruciating pain. Well, this skinny ninja is just another weakling!
“Wong Xiaoquan?”
Chen squinted and thought, “I have met him once! Even though he worked for Meichuan Neiku, I didn’t think that he would hurt me now.”
Then, Chen asked, “You mentioned earlier that you will not betray your master! Is Wong Xiaoquan your master?”
“No…No…Wong Xiaoquan’s father; Wong Yilang is my master!” The skinny ninja said.
“Tell me more!” Chen shouted.
“Wong Yilang, he is a j.a.panese! His real name is Xiaoquan Ichiro, the current leader of Xiaoquan family! But, I came here with the order from Wong Xiaoquan! All he asked of me was to sabotage the charity dinner! I don’t know anything else!” The skinny ninja spilled everything he knew to Chen. He was afraid that Chen might poke another needle into his body.
“Finish? You can die now!”
Chen’s stare turned cold. A sense of killing was slowly erupting.
Chapter 219: Let’s Go Now!
Chen broke the ninja’s neck by stepping on it. Then, Chen took out the body dissolving poison to destroy all the evidence. After that, he traced his way back to the kitchen.
“Where is the man? Did you manage to capture him?”
Xiaoyao frowned and asked, “I heard his scream just now. How did you let him escape from you?”
“Idiot!”
Chen pouted and said, “Police will be involved if I bring the guy back here! Tonnes of investigations will start to get carried out here! In the end, the charity dinner will get called off!”
“Alright…It makes sense…”
Xiaoyao pursed his lips and put on a sweet smile, “I heard the person screaming in agony just now! I believe that you really beat him up for us! I’m happy now!”
“Happy now? You should be thanking me now!” Chen grinned.
“Thank you?”
Xiaoyao pointed at the chaotic scene and said, “I will be thanking you if you manage to solve the food problem as well!”
“Easy job! Jing Fei! Come here please!” Chen waved a hand at Jing Fei and whispered something in his ears. Jing Fei was shocked but he did not say a word about it. He just did what Chen asked him to do.
“What did you tell him?” Xiaoyao asked curiously.
“Secret…”
Chen smiled mysteriously and said, “Don’t you worry now. I’m the chairman of this charity foundation! I will definitely not let it fall!”
“Okay…I believe that you will not fool around with it as well! But, I have to remind you that our guests are from the upper society. They all have an acquired taste towards food. They will not donate money to us if we fail to satisfy their appet.i.tes!” Xiaoyao said seriously.
“Pssst…I don’t need their money!”
Chen pursed his lips and said, “I’m going to tell you something first. I don’t care where this charity money goes to! I want you to promise me that you will donate my money to those who are in need before anyone else!”
“Errrr…You are a weirdo! Most of the people are not willing to spend their money, but you are worried that your money is not spent! Don’t worry! I have contacted three organizations beforehand! You will be the one that announces it later!”
Then, Xiaoyao continued to say seriously, “Come with me. I will hand you the speech that I prepared earlier. Memorize it, and we will start the rehearsal! I don’t want anything to go wrong during the charity dinner later!”
Then, Chen started to follow Xiaoyao around to finish the things that needed to be done for the charity dinner. Time pa.s.sed by before anyone can notice it.
…..
It was six in the evening. There was only one hour left before the charity dinner begins. But, there were some guests arriving at the hotel earlier than expected. Only a hundred invitations were sent out, because people were expected to donate during dinner. People who were invited were extremely reputable in the society. There were businessmen, entertainers, and politicians.
Xiaoyao a.s.signed a team of ladies to welcome the guests at the front entrance. Their job was to bring the guests to sign on an attendance board. On the other hand, Chen and Xiaoyao stayed inside the ballroom to welcome their guests. Xiaoyao’s gown was a perfect match with her outlook today. The suit that Chen wore made him look really handsome and das.h.i.+ng. Both of them were a perfect match when they stood together. Ten out of nine guests were talking about them.
“It’s six forty in the evening. Our main guests should be arriving anytime soon!” Xiaoyao took a look at her watch and her face turned serious. The arrival time actually determines the social status of a person. Those who have lower social statuses will arrive early. Those who have a higher social status will arrive later than anyone.
“What the f*ck! This s.h.i.+tty *ss walkway is too crowded! I wish I can use my money to broaden the walkway now!” A man with huge tummy came in from the entrance. His voice was loud. And, he lifted up his chin when he speaks. This made him looked really arrogant.
He was wearing all kind of branded stuff, and a golden necklace that as thick as humans thumbs could be seen on his neck. Five out of ten fingers had a ring on it. It was almost like he had written; I’m a rich b.i.t.c.h, on his forehead.
“Boss Hou!”
“Master Hou!”
The guests around him started to greet him politely. It was pretty obvious that this guy had a higher social status than most of the people here!
Xiaoyao quickly went to Chen and whispered in his ears, “This guy is Hou Weikang. All the harbors in East City are under him. Things like import, export, and warehouse are controlled by him. His business is really big!”
“Judging from his att.i.tude and physical appearance, I guess he used to be involved in gang activity!” Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
“Right…He used to work for my dad! Now, he has his own business.” Xiaoyao nodded.
“Xiaoyao! Congratulation on the success of your charity foundation! I’m really happy for you! I brought my cheques with me today! Let me donate three million to support you first!” Hou walked to Xiaoyao with a smile on his face. His arrogant aura had been toned down a lot. The smart one will know he’s doing this for her dad; Murong Tian.
He has his own business now but he still needed to pay his respect to the underground king of Green Vine City; Murong Tian. On the other hand, Chen was completely ignored by him.
“Uncle Hou, thank you so much! Actually, Mr. Chen here owns this charity foundation. Not me.” Xiaoyao nodded politely and explained to Hou.
“Mr. Chen? Who is he?”
Hou looked at Chen condescendingly and said loudly on purpose, “Only a small man in this society! Does this guy really think that he can push himself to the upper society by donating thirty million to the charity? Naïve! If it wasn’t for Master Tian, none of the guests will come!” All of the guests started to pay attention to Chen after he finished talking.
“Boss Hou is right! That kid is the internet sensation! He won’t be able to stand here if it wasn’t for Murong Tian!”
“Make sense! Even this charity foundation is named after Xiaoyao! That kid had nothing to with it!”
“You are talking too much! Respect the man behind that kid! After all, he is chosen by Master Tian!”
…
Those terrible comments started to creep in Chen’s ears. Chen was widely recognized and liked by the ordinary people. People from the upper society does not even give a s.h.i.+t about him!
“Kid! Heard that?”
Hou stared at Chen said arrogantly, “Come back to reality! If it wasn’t for Master Tian, I wouldn’t even look you in the eyes and talk to you!”
“Monkey! You can leave now!”
A strict and fire voice came from the entrance. Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
“Those who do not respect Mr. Chen, please leave now!”
Chapter 220: Reason Behind The Name Of The Charity Foundation!
Everyone had their attention on the entrance. A man with traditional clothing stood at the entrance. He was holding a wristband that was made of sandalwood beads. His appearance was so powerful that everyone went quiet when he shouted. He was none other than the underworld king of Green Vine City; Murong Tian! He had his fair share of influence of the white and black area in Green Vine City.
“Tian…Master Tian!”
Hou was shaken. It was like a mouse meeting a cat. His legs went soft.
“Monkey! Why are you still standing here?! Get out!” Murong Tian said coldly.
“Master Tian…There must be some misunderstanding here! I did not disrespect you…” Hou’s face was as pale as a blank paper. He quickly explained. He knew clearly that a line will be drawn between him and Murong Tian if he steps out the door now. Thus, he will definitely not walk out from this ballroom even if someone points a gun at him.
“You disrespected Mr. Chen! It’s no different from disrespecting me…” Murong Tian said calmly.
“This…” Hou was stunned. Initially, he thought that Chen was just another boot licking dog of Murong Tian. He did not expect Chen earn to receive so much respect from Murong Tian!
Offending Chen is like offending Murong Tian! There’s no one on Green Vine City except for Chen to have such a privilege! Even Xiaoyao started to get jealous of Chen. At the same time, those who criticized Chen earlier had their heads bowed down with fear. All of them started to look at Chen respectfully. They were afraid that Chen might punish them later.
“Mr. Chen…I know I have wronged you just now…I beg you…Please forgive me…It’s not worth getting angry over me…I’m just a small man in this town…I’m really really sorry…” Hou was not dumb. He quickly apologized to Chen like a pathetic dog.
“Hehe…Do you know how one can embarra.s.s himself to the highest?” Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Eh? No…I have no idea…” Hou was puzzled.
Chen grinned and said mockingly, “I don’t have to do anything, and others will embarra.s.s people like you for me!”
“Erm…”
Hou was embarra.s.sed. What Chen said was right. Chen did not say a word when the guests and Hou were mocking Chen. He was just standing there and watching them bark. In the end, all of them ended up embarra.s.sing themselves. It was like Murong Tian landing a slap on everyone’s face.
“Today is a good day. I will not do anything to you! Go ahead and look for your seat!” Chen shook his head to show that he is not going to do anything to him. After all, he is the most important person of the day. He had to show that he is higher than those *ssholes.
“Thank you, Mr Chen…Thank you so much…”
Hou’s face looked like he just had escaped from h.e.l.l.
Chen smiled. He thought everything was finally over.
“Hmph! That’s because someone really powerful has his back!” An arrogant voice could be heard at the entrance. The person looked like a teenager in his twenties. He was wearing all kind of branded clothes. Everyone held their breaths when they saw this young man.
“Who the h.e.l.l is this guy?”
Chen frowned. He remembered Xiaoyao mentioning that someone will definitely come here to make a mess. It could be this guy!
“Hey, you! What are you trying to do?!”
Everyone is afraid of that guy, but Xiaoyao was not afraid of him at all! She put her hands around her waist and shouted, “My dad just said no one should attempt to offend Mr. Chen! You and your stupid mouth! It is pretty obvious that you are not giving face to my dad!”
“Eh?”
The young man acted surprise said, “I’m really sorry! Uncle Murong! I did not mean to offend you! I spoke too fast just now, thus, my words might sound a little bit offensive! Please forgive me!”
This guy is Yap Liangchen! It definitely sounded like an arrogant name!
“That’s okay. I know your personality. Don’t worry about it.”
Murong Tian shook his hand and said, “But! There is something I want to clarify with everyone here!”
Everyone started to focus on Murong Tian when the words drop.
“The relations.h.i.+p between me and Mr. Chen is not the kind of relations.h.i.+p that you guys think of! On the contrary, our family will rely on Mr. Chen in the future!”
“What…How is this even possible?”
Everyone was extremely shocked. Even Yap opened his eyes wide. He couldn’t believe the thing that he just heard. The word; rely on had such a huge impact on everyone’s heart because it came from Murong Tian’s mouth. It was really unbelievable for extremely powerful people like Murong Tian needs to rely on someone! Chen was flattered as well.
“Actually, the reason for Mr. Chen’s charity foundation being named after my daughter is because I want my family to have some kind of relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Chen. It is a selfish decision, but I know it’s the right thing to do! If there’s something bad happening my family in the future, Mr. Chen will definitely help me to take care of my daughter!”
All this news flash can literally shocked people to death! The Murong Tian was talking about something bad possibly happening to him and relying on Chen to take care of her daughter!
Oh my G.o.d!
Who the h.e.l.l is this Chen Xiaobei?
How did he earn so much respect from Murong Tian?
Everyone one had their eyes landed on Chen. All of them wanted to take a good look at how special is this Chen Xiaobei. However, Chen himself was extremely puzzled as well.
“I have made things clear! Please don’t look at Mr. Chen the wrong way!”
Murong Tian took a deep breath and smiled with relief.
