Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

“Damn! That kid really loves to showboat!”

Uncle Feng, a knife scar stretched across his face, was watching the live report on the TV inside the South Lake mansion. He ripped a piece of it off between his teeth. It was as if the peach had wronged him in its past life.

“Old Feng, it’s not nice to talk behind someone’s back when you’re eating their food.”

Uncle Qin took a peach and ate it as well. He seemed to enjoy it a lot.

“Hmph! This peach was given by our lady master! That bastard has nothing to do with it!” Uncle Feng roared.

“This kid is really something!”

Lan Zhengguo spat out down the seed and quickly grabbed another peach.

He squinted and asked, “Do you guys think that kid might become as powerful as me?”

“Master, would you like to hear the truth?” Uncle Qin smiled and asked.

Uncle Feng grimaced and remained speechless.

“Well, there’s your answer.”

Lan Zhengguo sighed, “I have to admit, that kid has incredible potential! I was a guy who liked to waste my time on useless stuff when I was his age. It’s a shame that people from the City of Dragon is pressuring me. If not, I will definitely not oppose Mengchen being with him.”

Uncle Feng and Uncle Qin were speechless when they heard their master’s thought.

…..

At the North Mountain mansion.

“This kid has some real charm in him!”

Murong Xiaoyao had her eyes wide opened and said in shock, “I thought that he was going to give me some lame excuse to not donate money to charity. I never expected him to donate such a huge amount of money to the charity! Dad, why don’t you buy the rest of the jade pieces from him? Then, he will be able to donate even more to the charity!”

Murong Tian nodded and smiled, “Yes, I can definitely buy those jade pieces from him! But, we might need to eat dust for three meals after that. You won’t have pocket money to buy new clothes anymore.”

“Better don’t buy it!”

Murong Xiaoyao quickly interrupted her dad and pursed her lips, “Chen is so mean! How dare he sell those few jade pieces for four hundred million? Who on this earth can afford them?!”

Murong Tian looked up and smiled, “News travels fast. People from the Dragon City will definitely buy from him when they hear of it.”

…

At the Green Vine University.

“Why were there only three students in my class?! Where are the rest of the students?!” The aged professor said unhappily.

“Well, at least three students attended your class! I had nothing! All of them skipped my classes to attend the grand opening of Beichen jewelry shop!” A younger professor said.

“I even heard that some of the younger teachers skipped their work and went to the jewelry shop! How do these youngsters’ minds work?” A middle-aged female professor sighed.

Lin Xiang sat at the corner of the staff room and rapped on her own head angrily. She scolded herself for being a coward inside her heart. Why didn’t she skip work as well to support Chen? Fortunately, she could keep herself updated with the news, Weibo and school forum. She had actually downloaded every single Chen’s pictures and saved them on her laptop.

Lin Xiang mind was flooded with a young girl’s passion when she thought about his handsome and powerful Chen. Her body went soft and warm as well. She could not wait to throw herself into Chen’s embrace and do something hot and sexy.

….

At the police station of Green Vine City.

“Bastard! What a show-off!”

Luo turned off her laptop and walked out from her office. She was thinking to take some fresh air. Although she sounded mean, she actually paid close attention to Beichen Jewelry Shop. Somehow, she felt really good, as she stayed updated about the current situation of the jewelry shop. The whole morning had passed without her realizing it.

She was shocked when she saw the scene outside her office. Almost, everyone in the police station was talking about it. Some of them had updated themselves through Weibo. Some of them even gathered together to talk about it.

The most ironic scene of all was one of the policemen was actually watching the live reporting with the criminal. Two of them even exchanged words about it from time to time. They seemed really happy!

“Why does that stupid Chen possess such influential charm?! He actually got a cat and mouse to become friends… This is really magical…”

Luo massaged the bridge of her nose, puzzled.

….

At the West City, the bar of Fire Boss. The projector was showing the live reporting of the grand opening of Beichen jewelry shop. Hundreds of gangsters were sitting down, enjoying their beer and having a hot discussion about the jewelry shop.

“Boss! Our Boss Chen is just too damn cool and powerful! It’s so unbelievable that he manages his business so well at such a young age!”

“Not only is he good at doing business! He has a strong and powerful personality as well! He is definitely a real man!”

“You are right! One word, AWESOME!”

All of them were really excited. The compliments came non-stop.

The Fire Boss put on an idolize look and said, “Of course! Boss Chen is a God! The person that I respect the most on this planet is Boss Chen!”

Earlier, he had received three million from Chen to expand his gang. Thus, he successfully recruited hundreds of gang members. Even though he is quite powerful now, he still idolized Chen a lot.

“All of you, listen carefully! Boss Chen is my boss! No matter how good or how powerful we become in the future, we should still be respectful towards our Boss Chen!”

Fire Boss said seriously, “If anyone here disrespects Boss Chen, I will chop you to pieces personally and feed the dog!”

“We don’t dare! We don’t dare… We have seen Boss Chen’s true power with our own eyes. None of us here has the balls to disrespect him…”

All the gang members put on respectful looks. They tapped on their chests to show that they would keep their words.

…

At Shi Family’s mansion.

*Blarrgghhh…*

Shi Dafeng vomited blood when he heard Chen mentioned that all he had is money.

“Dad… Are you okay?”

Shi Mingwei quickly put aside his cellphone and rushed to his dad’s aid.

On the other hand, Shi Dabiao shouted furiously, “Shi Dafeng! I thought you told me earlier that you will not be wrong? You mentioned that the bastard will fall during the grand opening? Your twenty years of experience in jewelry business is equivalent to my shit that I just let go twenty minutes ago!”

*Blarrgghh…*

Shi Dafeng was speechless when the three questions came to him. He felt a pressure in his chest and blood started to gush out from his mouth.

“Alright! Stop arguing!”

Shi Kelang frowned and said in a deep voice, “Dafeng, you have to make a decision now that since the situation had changed! Do you want to fight until the end or sit here and rot? Answer me right now!”

“Sell! I will sell this mansion! I want to spend all the money and hire someone to screw that son of the bitch up!”

There was still blood in his mouth when he made the announcement. He looked like a vicious demon.

“Alright! Leave this to me! I know a group of special friends! This time, we will bet on it all!”

Shi Kelang’s stare turned vicious and the sense of murder was exuding out from him.

….

“Even myself did not expect today’s sale result! This is perfect!”

Chen sighed when he stood inside the empty vault.

“I have a total of six hundred million cash comes into my account. Plus, the price of Fire Dragon in The Sky, Plum Blossoms, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum had increased to four hundred million due to the support that I received today. Plus my one hundred million saving, the jewelry shop, bungalow, and luxury cars, I believe my worth is around five hundred and twenty million!”

Chen counted secretly and said, “Even after I donated thirty million, I still have forty hundred and ninety million with me! My wealth had doubled as compared to the time before the grand opening of Beichen Jewelry Shop! Now, I’m one step closer to be on the same level with Lan Zhengguo! This is awesome!”

There were no other people in the vault other than Chan and Jing Fei.

Jing Fei asked, “Boss, do you really plan to donate all those money?”

“Of course! I will donate the amount of money that I promised earlier as soon as possible!” Chen said seriously.

“But, it’s thirty freaking million! Do you want to put some thought into it first? There are other ways to do this… You don’t have to donate the money…” Jing Fei said.

“We, as a human cannot be so greedy!”

Chen interrupted Jing Fei and said in a deep voice, “Everyone in this world thought that I suffered a great loss during the grand opening. But, you know that the sixty million that I earn today is pure profit! I still earn even I decided to donate half of it!”

“Also, this amount of money can be used to change the weaker group’s life in this society into something better. And, the merit points that I earn can be used to help my good brother, Xiangyu as well. I will not stop donating money to charity as long as my business is still going strong!”

“Boss Chen, you are absolutely right… I’m too greedy…”

Jing Fei nodded and felt shameful deep inside his heart.

“Okay. Let’s put aside this donation matter first.”

Chen said, “Now, I need you to go to the market and purchase all the useless jade pieces that you can find. Buy some gold, silver, and gem as material. I will transfer ten million to your account first. Do you think that’s enough?”

“Enough! It’s more than enough!”

Jing Fei nodded and said, “Those useless jade pieces cost really little. On the other hand, gold, silver, and gem are definitely more expensive but the combination of Transmogrifying Flame and Heavenly Smithing Furnace that you possess can be used to craft something as exquisite as the product of those master jewelry crafters! Ten million cost can be turned into thirty million worth of product in no time! By then, we should be able to keep up with the market’s demand.”

“That’s great!”

Chen said satisfyingly, “The business will run smoothly when the process of buying material and selling product become something that we run by instinct! Beichen jewelry will become my very first money tree!”

“Don’t you worry, Boss Chen! I understand!” Jing Fei nodded.

Those useless jade pieces almost cost nothing. This was the type business without cost! As compared to those gold, silver, and gem that require a lot of costs to transform them into something sellable, the gap of profit was definitely much smaller than the jade business. Jing Fei knew all the secret. He knew exactly what to do. Chen left the vault after giving the secret instruction to Jing Fei.

Chen then gave a generous amount of bonus to every employee in the shop. Chen asked all of them to go on holiday for now. They would be re-summoned back to the shop when the stock was ready. All the employees were filled with joy and they complimented Chen as the best boss in this world.

After that, Chen brought his parents back to his bungalow. Sirius ran to Chen once the car stopped in front of the bungalow. Xiaobai still looked the same, sitting on the Sirius’s head and licking its paws arrogantly.

“Two food lovers…”

Chen knew their intention once he looked them into the eyes. Chen spoke in Zoolingualism after his parents went into the house.

“Do you guys want to eat peach or Heavenly Pet Food? Only can choose one!”

“What the f*ck! Master, how did you know zoolingualism?!”

Xiaobai asked shockingly.

“What the f*ck! You little cat actually knows this vulgar word!”

Chen was shocked as well.

“I learned it from you!”

Xiaobai pouted and said unhappily, “And! I’m not a freaking cat! I’m…..!”

“I don’t care what you are! From today onwards, you are not allowed to use any vulgar words! You must learn how to be good when you are still young. If not, you will turn into a big bad wolf when you grow up.” Chen said.

“Oh my God! Master! Your Zoolingualism is really fluent! Damn fluent!” Sirius complimented.

“Stop licking my boots! You asslicker!”

Chen rolled his eyes on Heavenly Wolf.

“Asslicker…I have learned another vulgar word!”

Xiaobai had his eyes wide opened and said excitedly.

*Blaarrgghh…*

Chen almost vomited blood. The Spirit Beast was fast when it came to learning something new!

“Whatever, since no one can understand Zoolingualism. Just say what you want!”

Both of them choose to eat Heavenly Pet Food. Chen gave them each a bowl of Heavenly Pet Food.

Chen asked curiously, “How come I don’t see any transformation so far since both of you eat so much every day?”

“This is only normal food that used to fill our hunger. Did you really think that this is some kind of magical food?”

Xiaobai said arrogantly, “You will be able to see the transformation in three days’ time. By that time, you will be able to see me and that stupid dog evolve into One-Star Spirit Beast.”

“One-Star Spirit Beast? I thought you are Divine Beast?” Chen asked puzzledly.

“You need to grow into a Divine Beast!”

“Just like your training. Spirit Beast has a total of nine levels to grow. A Nine-Stars Spirit Beast can evolve into Divine Beast!” Xiaobai said.

“Err… Seems like I just got cheated by Bull Demon King…” Chen sighed.

Initially, he thought that he received a super ultra-cool Divine Beast. In the end, he still needed to wait for the Spirit Beast to grow into a Divine Beast. It was going to take forever to see them grow into a Divine Beast!

“Don’t you dare look down on the level of Spirit Beast! I will have one thousand combat power when I reach one star! When I reach two stars, I will have three thousand combat power!” Xiaobai explained.

“Oh my God! So powerful!”

Joy quickly filled Chen’s face. And, he was dancing inside his heart. According to Xiaobai, both of them would turn into a One-Star Spirit Beast three days later. In other words, this equaled to recruiting two followers with one thousand combat power. Jing Fei’s combat power was only one thousand. If these they turn into Two-Stars Spirit Beast, they would possess three thousand combat power. By that time, both of them will become Chen’s powerful followers. They could help Chen to complete a lot of tasks!

Chen was full of hope when he thought about that. However, Chen’s combat power should increase at the same time as well. He took his third God of War’s Body Strengthening Pill. At then, his combat power was two thousand. Tomorrow at this time, his combat power would reach two thousand and five hundred!

There was no training needed in this process. His combat power would increase automatically. That was even better than cheating! After that, Chen decided to spend some time to do something special.

Chen was driving his humungous four-wheeled drive to the supermarket to make a bulk purchase. Mid-Autumn festival was just around the corner. Different types of mooncakes were on display. The variety was so diverse that it made people confuse.

At then, Chen was worth five hundred and twenty million. Naturally, he could not afford to be stingy. He chose the best and most expensive mooncake in the market for all his friends that he could ever think of. He wanted to make sure that everyone gets at least a box of mooncakes.

“Mengchen, Xiangxiang, Xiangyu, my three roommates, Jingfei, Liu Quanfu, Fire Boss… And… Ice Demon Queen and Flatboard. I should buy for both of them as well.

Chen counted all the people that he knew with his fingers. He then suddenly thought of something.

“Right! Should I buy for the members of Red Envelope Group of Three Realms?”

Chen had thought of all his friends. He should not desert his friends in Red Envelope group. After all, the reason that Chen could achieve all this was thanked the help from the members of Red Envelope group.

“Okay… What a joyful occasion! I will send a big Red Envelope to the group during Mid-Autumn festival. I might be able to trigger a big wave of Red Envelopes! I might be able to snatch a few more Red Envelopes! Wahaha… Damn! I’m smart!”

Chen planned secretly and said, “Hold on… I should ask for what kind of flavors would they prefer. I’m worried that they will not like the mooncakes that I send to them. That would be a real shame. The element of surprise will be gone if I ask directly in the group. Hmm… Let me ask the Goddess of Moon.”

Chen: Chang’e Lady, are you there?

Chang’e: I’m here. I wanted to look for you as well. (Smiling emoji)

Chen: Goddess, why are you looking for me?

Chang’e: Mid-Autumn festival is just around the corner. I have made some Osmanthus Honey. I’m planning to give you a bottle of it. (Face turned red)

Chen: Haha… I’m surprised that Goddess still remember my existence! I wanted to give a box of mooncake to Goddess as well. May I know what kind of flavor of mooncake do you prefer?

Chang’e: Mooncake is just mooncake. There is no flavor to it. It’s just a pile of flour.

Chen: What?! The mooncake that you guys eat is just a pile of flavorless flour? (Shocking emoji)

Chang’e: That’s right. The mooncake that you normally eat are just piles of flour right? (Curious emoji)

Chen: Hold on right there… Let me buy some mooncakes and send them over to you. (Smiling emoji)

Cahng’e: Alright! (Smiling emoji)

“Damn! There are hundreds of flavors of mooncake available right now! I never thought that people actually ate flavorless mooncakes in the past!”

Chen grinned, “There will be a great flood of Red Envelopes during Mid-Autumn festival! Wahahaha…”

“Hey! Are you going to buy the mooncake?! You have stood there for a long time! My business will be affected because of you!”

An impatient voice crept into Chen’s ears. And, that was the voice of the salesperson that stood at the counter. She was a forty years old lady on menopause.

“I will buy…”

Chen was unhappy, but he didn’t plan on arguing with her. He then said calmly, “I want ten boxes of each flavor here.”

“What?! Ten boxes of each flavor?! Are you treating me like a fool?!”

The salesperson rolled her eyes at him, “This is not something that you can afford! We sell the most expensive mooncake on the market!”

Chen got even more unhappy when he heard her reply.

“Do you believe that I will buy all the mooncakes here?” Chen said coldly.

“Oh my god! This is the funniest joke that I heard in my life!”

The eyes of the salesperson almost rolled to the back of her head. She said condescendingly, “Kid! Stop fooling around! Don’t act like a rich man in front of me! You ain’t got no skill! I will only believe your words if my brain stomps on by a donkey!”

“I think you left your brain at home today!” Chen took a glance at the phone number at the counter. It was for customers to lodge a complaint.

A man with suit came into the shop three minutes after the call.

“Good day sir! I’m the sales manager. How can I help you?” The man smiled and asked.

“Just swipe my card! I want to buy all the mooncakes in this shop!”

Chen took out his credit card without a single doubt.

“All he knows is to act like a rich man!”

The saleslady said condescendingly, “Manager Liu, just ignore him! He just came here to fool around!”

“This…”

The manager was stunned. Deep inside his heart, he felt that Chen was here to fool around as well.

After all, that place sold the best mooncake in Green Vine City. A box of mooncake cost around three thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight. A shop worth of mooncakes cost around million plus! How was it possible for a young lad like him afford to buy everything in this shop? But, let’s think from a different perspective, the credit card was just on the table. The shop would suffer no loss, even if Chen was a fraud. What if, everything he said was real?

With this thought, Manager Liu stared at the saleslady and said, “What did you learn in your training? Customers are our gods! Are you trying to get yourself fired with this kind attitude?!”

At the same time, he swiped Chen’s card and placed the credit card machine in front of him to key in the pincode.

“Manager Liu, I’m a veteran at this! I have seen different types of customers throughout my career! I will eat the credit card machine if this kid is not here to fool around!” The saleslady pouted and said unhappily.

The transaction was complete before she could finish her words. A long, lengthy receipt was being printed out. An invisible slap landed on her face.

“How… How is this even possible?”

The saleslady was completely stunned. Her mouth was wide enough to fit in a fist.

“Idiot! You almost cost the company a valuable customer! You are fired from this second onwards!” Manager Liu shouted.

“What?!”

The saleslady cried after she heard the manager’s decision.

She begged, “Manager Liu! I know I’m at fault… Please forgive me… After all, I’m an old and experienced staff…”

“Old and experienced staff? I think you are an old hag! Pack your stuff and leave!”

Manager Liu rolled his eyes at her, turned to Chen and smiled, “My dear customer, all the mooncakes in this shop belongs to you. May I ask, what can I do for you?”

“Please move all the mooncakes to parking lot 033.”

Chen ordered. He didn’t even bother to look at the saleslady. He left after that. Soon enough, Manager Liu managed to find someone to move all the mooncakes to Chen’s parking spot.

“I will look for my own transport to move all these mooncakes back to my house. You can leave now.”

Chen waved. When he saw Manager Liu leaving and no one else around him, he took out his cellphone and stored all the mooncakes inside his treasure chest.

“Let me send a box of Snow Skin Mooncake to Chang’e first!”

Chang’e: Thank you so much for your gift, God Chen. Is this thing a mooncake? (Curious emoji)

Chen: Haha… You have to open the box first. The mooncakes are inside the box!

Chang’e: Hey! I’m not that stupid, okay? (Pouty face) I have already opened the box. But, the object inside the box is so beautiful. It doesn’t look like mooncake at all!

Chen: That is a Snow Skin Mooncake! It’s a local delicacy from where I come from. Give it a try.

Chang’e: So beautiful! I felt like it’s a waste if I just eat it like that!

Chen: Just give it a try. I can send more of it to you if you really like it! (Cool emojis)

Two minutes later…

Chang’e: Oh my god! This mooncake is too damn delicious! (Satisfying emoji). This is even tastier than the pastry that the Heavenly Queen Mother gave me! I really like it! (Fanatical emojis). Let me give you some Osmanthus Honey as well!

Ding!

[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Chang’e! You have received a bottle of Osmanthus Honey! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]

Chen: Haha… Thank you so much, Chang’e Goddess!

Chang’e: Oh right. About the Osmanthus Honey, please keep it as a secret between us!”

Chen: Why?

Chang’e: Only nine bottles of Osmanthus Honey are produced every year. All of them will be served to the Heavenly God Mother! Others don’t even get to have a whiff of it!

Chen: Damn! Such a precious delicacy! And, you actually gave me a bottle of it! Others will definitely find out about this!

Chang’e: Don’t worry. I took out a small amount of Osmanthus Honey from those nine bottles of Osmanthus Honey and put them together into a single bottle. As long as you don’t spill the beans, no one will know about it.

Chen: Oh my god! Why are you treating me so nicely, Chang’e?

Chang’e: Because you were really kind to me in the first place. Hehe… This will be a secret between us! (Smiling emoji)

Chen: Alright! I will definitely keep this secret between us until the day I die! (Smiling emoji

Chang’e: I have something else to attend to. Talk soon! (Shy emoji)”

Chen: Okay. See you, my Goddess!

“I never expect Chang’e the Goddess to treat me so nicely! Could it be that she’s interested in me? And, she’s taking the initiative to develop an intimate relationship with me? Oh my Lord! The most beautiful Goddess in heaven is after me! I’m so damn excited by just thinking about it! Wahahaha…” Chen thought

Chen put away his cellphone. But, he was still indulging the conversation between him and Chang’e. Without him realizing, he was almost drooling. After that, Chen drove his car and delivered the mooncakes that he purchased to all the friends that he thought of. Everything was good.

When he reached the North Mountain mansion, the Flatboard Princess, Murong Xiaoyao insisted that Chen stay with her for a while to have a quick chit-chat session. They chatted about the donation matter. However, the girl did not rush Chen to donate the money to the charity as soon as possible. She wanted Chen to hold on to it first. It seemed like something had changed. Chen was not bothered by it at all. He just simply said something to brush her off. Chen then rushed to the next destination.

The next destination would be Xiang Xiang’s house. Chen purposely set Lin’s house as the final destination. He had plans for her, everyone knew that. It could even take hours! That’s right! Chen stopped by at Lin’s house to have dinner with her!

What else are you thinking?

Damn, you dirty-minded pervert!

“Wow! My Xiang Xiang is so virtuous! You will make a good wife!”

Chen was attracted by the fragrance once he entered the house. He put the mooncakes aside and ran to the table. He was staring at all the well-cooked dishes on the table. Lin had been born in a poor family. She only knew how to cook all these simple dishes. But, every single dish that she cooked contained love as the main ingredient. One could drool just by looking at these dishes.

“Come and try my fish soup. This is Lin Nan’s favorite soup! I’m not sure if you will like it!” Lin poured a bowl of soup for Chen.

“The soup looks creamy. I’m pretty sure this soup has been cooked for a long time.”

Chen took a sip of it and the taste of it lingered in his mouth. He gave Lin a thumbs up and said, “I can really see the effort that you put in boiling this soup. This fish soup is on par with the soup that cooked by those Master Chefs. I want to drink ten bowls of it!”

“Stop sweet talking me! Your stomach will blow up if you drink ten bowls of it!”

Lin pouted playfully. Her beautiful pair of eyes had turned into a pair of crescent moons. Her face was filled with sweetness and satisfaction.

“Oh right, where is Lin Nan?” Chen asked.

“He went out to look for a job. He should be coming back soon. Let me give him a call.” Lin said.

“Looking for a job? Ahhh I’ve forgotten!”

Chen tapped on the back of his head and said with vigor, “Ask him to stop looking for a job. He can come to my shop to work for now. I will ask Jing Fei to teach him everything that he knows. He might even get to run a branch of my jewelry shop in the future.”

“Branch… A branch? You must be joking with me… Lin Nan doesn’t have the ability take charge of a jewelry shop!” Lin was extremely shocked by Chen’s decision.

“I’m not joking. I’m being serious.”

Chen then said seriously, “As long as Lin Nan willing to learn, I will let him take over Jing Fei’s position. And, he can take charge of the branches that I’m going to open in the future!”

“Every… Every branch…? Lin was completely petrified.

A single jewelry shop had already managed to make the whole town excited. She could not even imagine what the branches would do to the city!

“My pumpkin pie, that’s my future plan. Look at that shocked face!”

Chen raised his hand and rub on Lin’s nose tip and said, “Take a break. I will call Lin Nan personally.”

“Okay…”

Lin nodded adorably. She was still in shock. Chen took his cell out and prepared to call Lin Nan. But, he saw an unread message on his cellphone.

[Lin Nan is with me, Xian Tianma. You have 30 minutes to go to the abandoned warehouse at the west side of the slum! You will see Lin Nan’s body on the floor if you are late!]

Chen replied, “If I find a single mark on Lin Nan’s body, I will make sure your head will be detached from your body!”

“Xiang Xiang… I will go and pick up Lin Nan personally. This can save time.”

Chen stood up and walked out from the house.

“Eh…?”

Lin was shocked. Chen had already left before she can react to it.

On the way, Chen called the Fire Boss and said, “How’s the recruitment going?”

“I have hundreds of men with me. Boss Chen, what can I do for you?” The boss knew that there was something off about Chen’s voice.

“I want you to gather everyone and get ready for a battle with Xiao Tianma!” Chen said coldly.

“Battle… Battle? Boss Chen, are you serious?”

The Fire Boss was shocked and said, “Xiao Tianma is the leader of West side of the city of Black Tiger Gang. He has around five hundred followers with him… We will definitely lose if we declare war on him…!”

“Are you afraid of death now?” Chen asked.

“Not at all!”

The boss said excitedly, “It’s my pleasure to follow Boss Chen and declare a gang war! I will definitely have your back, no matter what!”

At the slum of the west side of the city. There was a deserted place with an abandoned warehouse. Normally, there was no people step foot in this place, At then, there were around thirty strong and muscular men guarding inside. All of them were brawlers of Black Tiger Gang of West City. They were Xiao Tianma’s favorite gang of brawlers.

Other than that, they were not just any other ordinary guards. All of them had at least more than one territory under their care. At that time, the police force was paying close attention to them. Thus, they did not order their five hundred gang members to get involved in this gang war. Instead, a gang that was made up of thirty elite gang members were sent to replace five hundred gang members. Clearly, something big was about to go down.

Xiao Tianma was standing between them with a cigarette in his mouth, puffing away indulgently.

“Tianma Bro, do you think the lad has the balls to come here?” One of the muscular guys asked.

“He will definitely come here because Lin Nan is with us.”

Xiao Tianma took another puff and stared coldly at the corner of the warehouse. There was a cage over there. Lin Nan was kept inside.

“Xiao Tianma! You mother*cker! Let me go! If not, my brother-in-law will surely stomp on your head until it becomes a pile of unidentified flesh!”

Lin Nan shouted. He sounded lively. It seems like he did not suffer from any serious injuries.

“Bastard! Stop shouting!”

“Do you know why I decided not to beat you up today?” Xiao Tianma asked coldly.

“Why… Why…?” Lin Nan was shocked.

He was actually kind of puzzled that Xiao Tianma didn’t beat him up or scold him after he captured him. This was definitely something out of ordinary.

Xiao put on a vicious look and said, “I choose not to torture you now because I want let Chen watch how I torture you after I cripple him! I want him to know that he is powerless to protect you when you die in front of him! I want him to have a taste of hopeless! By that time, he will wish for death than living!”

“Dream on! You loser is not even qualified to touch my brother-in-law’s toes!”

Lin Nan scolded Xiao angrily, “I think there is something wrong with your balls! It’s time for your medication! Are you suffering from any kind of mental illness? Where did you even get the balls to defeat my brother-in-law? Wake up and take your mental medication now!”

“Motherf*cker! Do you wish to die now?!”

Xiao Tianma went furious after hearing Lin Nan’s words. He threw his cigarette butt on the floor aggressively. He could not wait to tear Lin Nan in half. The comment regarding his balls was like a critical hit on him. He was deeply scared by it. For him, commenting on his balls was like pouring salt on his wound. However, Lin Nan decided to tear open his wound and even pour acid on it. That was even more painful than using a knife to stab his heart.

“You… Don’t you dare to come near me!”

Lin Nan was having fun scolding Xiao just now. At then, he was suppressed by Xiao’s anger. Xiao is the leader of Black Tiger Gang of West City! He was a Jianghu elite with one thousand and five hundred combat power! His aura and powerful presence were not something that Lin Nan could withstand. Looking at Xiao’s furious look and spitting fire eyeballs, Lin Nan felt like he was marked by a furious beast that was going to eat him up alive!

“Brother-in-law!”

All of a sudden, Lin Nan’s face was filled with hope again at this critical moment. All the feat in his heart was completely disappeared. Chen walked into the warehouse through the front door. Xiao Tianma moved his attention from Lin Nan to Chen.

“I never thought that you have the balls to come alone!”

“I never thought that a guy with his dick got chopped off recently has the strength to get down from the bed and walk around. How do you feel with the emptiness inside your pants? Was it cooling?”

Chen took a glance on Xiao’s pants and said mockingly.

“F*ck you!”

Xiao got really angry. He gritted, “Stop acting like a macho when you are alone here! I will let you have a taste of the pain of losing a dick today! I will f*cking cut off your dick and feed it to the dogs!”

“Hehe… Who told you I came alone?”

Chen smiled calmly and clapped his hands. The sound of movement resonated around the warehouse. Around hundreds of people rushed into the warehouse. Xiao and his thirty followers were quickly surrounded. The leader of those gang members was none other than Fire Boss!

The victory was almost certain when hundreds of people went against thirty people. The situation had changed. However, Xiao was not nervous at all.

He said condescendingly, “Chen Xiaobei, seems like you have a plan with you all along. But, you are being too naïve if you think that you can defeat me today! Useless piece of shit like Fire Boss is not even qualified to lick my shoes will not be able to save you today! Dream on bitch!”

He might have sounded arrogant but it actually made sense. Black Tiger Gang was a well-established and organized crime syndicate. Before Chen’s funding, the Fire Boss had around twenty followers. The truth was those hundreds plus followers were just some bowling pins waiting to be knocked down.

On the other hand, Xiao was a leader that lead five hundred plus gang members. He was definitely more powerful than the Fire Boss. Even if the Fire Boss wanted to lick his boots last time, Xiao might not even give a shit about him!

That was the past. At then, the Fire Boss was under Chen’s care. He was a brand-new person!

“Bro Bei! One order from you and we will destroy them!”

The Fire Boss looked really determined. He was holding his long knife tightly in his hand. The blood of warrior was boiling inside his blood streams. He had prepared himself to die for Chen today! However, those gang members were not ready to fight this battle.

“How come our opponent is Xiao Tianma?”

“Those people around him were the core people of the West City Black Tiger Gang!”

“I have no idea that we are going against them! This is just too damn terrifying!”

Every one of them fell into panic mode. In their eyes, the Black Tiger Gang was too powerful for them. Xiao Tianma was one of the famous Jianghu elite. It was like a suicide mission for them.

“Bro Bei… You must be kidding us!”

“I think this is just a misunderstanding! Bro Bei, I think you should sit down and talk to Xiao nicely.”

“Bro Bei, let’s call it a truce… We can never fight this war!”

The gang members around Chen were like deflated balloons. After all, they were just some ordinary gang members. Feeling afraid was totally normal.

Looking at current situation, Xiao laughed condescendingly, “Hmph! What a bunch of garbage! Get lost now if you don’t want to die!”

All his trustworthy followers laughed mockingly at the same time, “Garbage! Did you hear what our boss just said? Get lost now or become a cripple later!”

All of them were elites from Black Tiger Gang of west city. The gang that led by the Fire Boss was just some disorderly members. Those thirty elites were confident enough to fight against hundreds of gang member!

“See it now?! You want a truce but they are treating you guys like garbage!”

There was a saying; you do not let the shame get over your head, fight it or die! Chen’s words magnified Xiao’s mocking. This made Fire Boss’ followers even more furious.

“Bro Bei is right! We cannot be a coward at this crucial moment! How can I face the others if I flee here?!”

“That’s right! We have the numbers! If we run without fighting, that would be a real shame!”

“I agree with you! Let’s fight…”

Real men would always be uncovered during a tough situation. They would have to unleash their courage to fight in order to prove that they were not useless garbage! At that moment, all of them had the determination that was needed to fight this war. But, that was not enough!

“Everyone, I’m not trying to goad all of you into a suicide mission.”

Chen continued to say, “The Black Tiger Gang at the west side of the city has always been the most powerful gang. They have around five hundred followers. We will definitely be dead if we fight against their whole gang! But, today, all they have is thirty gang members! If we win this war, we will be able to use the smallest cost possible to achieve the largest gain! This is definitely your golden opportunity to be promoted! Miss this, and you won’t have the second chance in the future! Old phrases always make the most sense; take out your balls and you can ride a dragon, keep your balls and someone else will ride your mother! Are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to fight?!”

With the Scholar Heart, Chen was a master when it came to manipulating others. Plus, his seven thousand charm made his words even more convincing and inviting. Hundreds of them were burning with the desire to fight this war.

“My brothers! Bro Bei is right! We are going to fight a war for ourselves! Let’s defeat this bunch of assholes! We can be promoted! We are not cowards!”

“That’s right! We are all real men! Why do they get to indulge themselves in luxury all the time?! We always take their leftovers! I’m definitely not happy about that!”

“F*ck it! Let’s fight! Better to fight for a better life than sitting there and live an ordinary life! If we win this war, I want to have the best whiskey in the world and have sex with the most beautiful women!”

“Let’s just kick them in their asses! I want to beat up those who dare look down on us! Aim at their faces and punch it till it balloons up!”

“Bro Bei! Just drop the order! We want to become real men tonight! We will not feel regretful of our decisions even if we die on the battlefield!”

The gang members’ morale had been greatly boosted. Half a minute ago, they were all cowards. Seconds later, they were all warriors!

“Go!”

The leader; Che shouted. All the followers rushed to their enemies, as if they just had their dose of adrenaline shots. That scene successfully made Xiao Tianma and his followers shocked to the core. They never thought that Chen could give such a huge morale boost to a gang of weaklings that was so reluctant to fight earlier. They all looked like a bunch wolves that thirsted for blood!

However, Xiao was still extremely confident at this critical moment. He shouted fearlessly, “They are just a hollow bunch of garbage cans with loud bangs! I, Xiao Tianma will grant your death wish, since all of you want to die so badly! Brothers! Fight!”

Clearly, he believed that he could win in this battle with his combat power alone. His thirty favorite followers felt very confident that they could win this war with their leader fighting alongside them. Xiao’s shouting was like an eagle horn that gave his followers a huge boost of morale! All of them got really excited and charged at their enemies with all their strength.

Within a second, the sound of battle resonated throughout the whole warehouse. In the beginning, even though outnumbered, they still managed to stay on the upper side of the battle. As time passed by, around ten of Fire Boss’ followers were defeated. The enemy’s team remained relatively unscathed.

All of Xiao’s followers were really good at combat. They show no mercy whenever they fight. Other than that, their fighting skill complimented each other really well. That was why they were on the upper side of the battle. On the other side, Fire Boss’ followers were just some ordinary ruffians. They could only brawl like apes. Their stamina was rather weak. As time passed, they started falling.

The most important thing was the most powerful enemy, Xiao Tianma had not yet joined the battle. He could end the battle within three minutes if he decided to get himself involved in the fight.

“A pile of garbage trying to change the situation! How dumb?!”

Xiao turned to Chen and said viciously, “Kid! Your underlings are going to lose this battle! Now, it’s your turn to die!”

“Xiao Tianma! Over my dead body if you want to hurt Chen!”

At this very moment, the Fire Boss charged at Xiao and stood in his way.

“You don’t even qualify to stand in my shadow! Idiot!”

Xiao drew back his fist. The Fire Boss had fought really hard today. He was fighting multiple followers of Xiao’s at the same time. However, the success rate was zero when he faced a one thousand and five hundred combat power Jianghu elite.

“POM!”

The punch landed on the Fire Boss’ chest. He was pushed back three to four meters away. A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out from his mouth.

“Garbage!”

Xiao didn’t even bother to take a look at the Fire Boss. He turned around and walked to Chen.

“I’m not dead yet! Don’t you dare turn your back on me!”

The Fire Boss snarled. He used up all his strength to sit up. Blood kept on gushing out from his mouth. He was in a really bad shape.

“Fire Boss, take a break for now. Let me handle this eunuch.”

Chen laughed mockingly and said.

The Fire Boss sighed in resignation and laid on his back.

“Motherf*cker! I will let you know who the eunuch is here!”

Xiao was so angry that he started to shout hysterically, “You! You are not even qualified to fight with me when your bush is not yet even fully grown! Die!”

At the same time, he lifted up his fist and charged at Chen.

In his opinion, Chen had been able to win the battle last time was because of Chen’s surprise attack. When it came to real strength, Chen would never be able to defeat him! The strength that he embedded in his punch was really strong. It had enough power to completely destroy someone’s head! Without a doubt, Xiao really wanted to kill Chen.

“If that’s the case! I think I should be more serious as well!”

Chen’s stare transformed into a murderous, abyssal stare!

*POM!*

A muffled explosive sound resonated the warehouse. Chen did not even flinch. He lifted up his fist to welcome Xiao’s punch. There was no fancy skill here. There were no surprise attacks. Only pure strength was being used here. Strength would be the only factor here.

“Ouch! Ouch!”

Xiao was groaning in agony. His right arm was completely destroyed. The bones from the finger to the shoulder were completely shattered. The excruciating pain made this Jianghu elite with one thousand and five hundred combat power rolled on the floor helplessly. He did not even have the strength to stand up.

“Garbage! Can’t even take one punch from me! You even had the balls to act like an invincible man in front of me earlier!”

Chen pouted and the king aura was spilling out from his body.

“This is not possible…You can’t be this powerful…!”

Xiao was shocked. In his eyes, Chen was like a monster. Fear filled his mind within seconds. When they battled the last time, Xiao’s younger brother had gauged that Chen’s combat power was around one thousand. That was why Xiao had been so confident today.

He did not expect Chen’s punch to have two thousand combat power embedded inside it! It destroyed his right arm instantly! His power had multiplied within few days! Xiao would never figure out how Chen became so powerful in such a short period of time! By tomorrow afternoon, Chen’s combat power would be increased to two thousand and five hundred! The day after tomorrow, it would reach three thousand combat power!

An improvement like this was pure insanity! Xiao fell into the pit of hopeless.

“This kid is not human! He is a monster! A demon!”

“Oh my god! This is too crazy! Brothers! Did you see that?! Xiao was defeated by a single punch! Let’s grab this opportunity and finish them off! Victory calls to us!”

Right at that moment, Fire Boss shouted with words of encouragement to boost the morale of his followers. When the king fell, his soldiers would become a group of exiles with no one leading them. All thirty Xiao’s followers fell into panic mode. None of them knew what to do next. On the other hand, the Fire Boss’ followers were given another shot of “adrenaline boost” to fight the war. Their blood had reached boiling point.

Those who were still standing decided to risk their lives and charge at the remaining enemies! All of they wanted to do was to defeat the enemies! The situation came to a complete change. After some time, all the gang members from Black Tiger Gang were completely defeated.

“Oh my god! We actually won! This is so crazy!”

“We defeated enemies that are more powerful than us! Nice!”

“I truly enjoyed this fight!”

All of Fire Boss’s followers were cheering when the results of the gang war finally settled. Although all of them suffered from some kind of injuries, joy had filled their heart at that very moment. They had won the fight against some really powerful enemies! All their shame had been washed off by their enemies’ blood! From that moment onwards, they were no longer a pile of garbage, but real men rising from the ashes! They had been reborn!

Confident! Courage! Unity! These were the most valuable treasures that Chen wanted them to acquire in this war! This was why Chen had kept on encouraging them to fight this war!

Chen had funded the Fire Boss to hire a group of warriors with boiling blood, not a group of cowards who would constantly give lame excuses! After this fight, all of them would definitely grow into true warriors! In the future, they would help Chen to conquer the world!

“Silence, everyone. I have something to deal with!”

Chen lifted up his hand and everyone fell quiet, instantly. Without a doubt, everyone at the scene saw Chen as their highest leader. They will definitely follow his order.

“Chen Xiaobei! Stop being so arrogant! I may have lost today but I still have around five hundred gang members under my command! I have Dongfang boss supporting me! Let me go now if you don’t want to die miserably!”

Xiao took a deep breath and shouted angrily. Eight muscular men had him pinned to the floor.

“Only time will tell if I will die miserably. However, I do know one thing clearly…”

Chen’s stare turned cold and said seriously, “From today onwards, Xiao Tianma will completely disappear from Jianghu.”

There was not even a single doubt or hesitation in his voice. One word, and he was dead!

“Hand me a knife!”

The Fire Boss took the knife from his follower and walked towards Xiao. The Fire Boss knew exactly what to do, even though Chen did not give him any order.

“No… Don’t you come near me!”

Xiao was freaked out. He knew Chen’s intention. Initially, he wanted to use the fact that he had lots of followers beneath him and the fact that Dongfang was supporting him to bargain with Chen to let him go. However, Chen was not bothered by it at all! The sentence; Xiao Tianma will disappear from Jianghu, made everyone sweat. All of the people in the warehouse witnessed the power of Chen.

“Chen Xiaobei… Boss Chen… I know I’m at fault… I won’t do it again next time… You are a powerful man… Please forgive a weak shit like me… Please let me go… I beg you…”

Xiao Tianma turned into a coward completely. At that moment, Chen was like a monster to him. Other than begging, he had no other way to live another day. Unfortunately, no matter how long he begged for his life, he would never receive forgiveness from Chen. The Fire Boss lifted the knife and brought it down.

*Sshhluck!*

The blood shot out like a fountain. It was scary enough to give anyone goosebumps and an accelerated heartbeat. Even more so for those thirty goons. All of them were scared to death. None of them dare to breathe. They were worried that they would be next on the list.

“Next, it’s you guys!”

Chen stared coldly at the thirty plus goons. One stare, and they were all trembling.

“You have two options now. One, you leave Black Tiger Gang and join the Fire Boss’ gang! Two, I will cripple you and you will sit in wheelchairs for the rest of your life! Choose one!”

Chen sounded calm, but his words were going to decide the fate of those people. Well, It should be an easy decision for them to make. Xiao Tianma was dead. Those who had the balls to act tough in front of Chen would die instantly as well.

“Bro Bei! I’m willing to join the Fire Boss’ gang…”

“I’m willing too…”

“All of us here are willing to join the Fire Boss gang!”

Within seconds, those thirty goons finally made their call. They even felt grateful, because Chen had given them two options to choose from.

Chen put on his poker face. Everything was as he had expected.

“All of you are wise men! I think you guys know that you have to show me that you are truly sincere if you want to gain my trust.”

All the thirty goons were the elites in the Black Tiger Gang of west city. Other than being good at fighting, they were actually quite smart. Of course, they could understand Chen’s intension.

“Bro Bei, I know a vault located in the west city. I can open it for you!”

“Bro Bei, I have a backup key to Xiao’s house. I know where he hides his money!”

“I can handover my ten territories to Fire Boss immediately!”

“I have eight territories as well…”

All of them were trying their best to show that they were truly sincere in joining the Fire Boss gang. In other words, their actions showed that they were completely breaking off their relationship with the Black Tiger Gang. From today onwards, their new boss was the Fire “Grim-Reaper” Boss!

“Just let the Fire Boss take care of this matter. I’m not into gang-related matters. I’m not your boss as well. But, I do have to let you know the harsh truth. If anyone has the balls to betray the Fire Boss, you will end up like Xiao Tianma!” Chen said sternly.

“Okay… We will definitely remember what you told us today!”

All of them nodded with respect.

“Bro Bei, what should we do next?” The Fire Boss asked respectfully.

Clearly, he didn’t see himself as the big boss. Deep inside his heart, he knew that Chen was the one true boss here. Chen’s word came before everything else.

“From today onwards, everything that happened here today must be kept a secret. We cannot afford to let other gangs take advantage of us! At the same time, you should work together with the new members. Work together and consume Xiao’ territories and resources as soon as possible. Make it quick and quiet. Recruit all his gang members if possible!”

“The police forces have their eyes on the Black Tiger Gang! They can’t avenge their dead boss! You guys grab hold of this opportunity to expand your power! When your power is stable, good stuff will happen to you automatically!” Chen ordered calmly.

Everyone got really excited when they heard Chen’s plan.

“Bro Bei is wise! We have to follow Boss Chen’s order!”

“We can finally enjoy good lives! We don’t have to go back to our sh*tty lifestyle!”

“What are you guys waiting for?! Let’s move!”

“That’s right! Let’s do what Bro Bei asked us to do! Then, we can enjoy good food! Good booze! Beautiful women!”

After the war, most of them were injured. However, it was like them receiving another boost of adrenaline! They became energetic again! The Fire Boss shrugged off his heavy injuries as well. He knew better than anyone here that if he did what Chen asked him to do, he would be able to own everything that Xiao possessed. By then, he would become a real boss!

Of course, he would never forget that Chen was the one that granted him everything! After that, Chen did not say much. He turned around and walked to the corner of the warehouse to free Lin Nan from the cage.

“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Brother-in-law, you are just too damn cool! I will definitely volunteer to be your wife if I’m a woman!”

Lin Nan was like a crazy fan jumping around. He wanted to jump at Chen and kiss him.

Chen dodged the human missile and said, “I thought you would be scared to death! Looks like you are not affected by the gang war that just happened right in front of your eyes.”

Lin Nan grinned, “Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that I came from the slums? I have seen a lot of scenes like this throughout my life! I will not be so easily rattled by such a scene! However, I was affected by your coolness!”

“Stop licking my boots! You are not allowed to say a word about this incident to your sister!” Chen growled.

“Yes, sir! I will not say a single word about tonight!” Lin Nan giggled and said.

After that, Chen left the warehouse with Lin Nan. Lin Xiang heated up the dishes when they got home. The three of them had a joyful dinner.

“Wow! Brother-in-law! Are these the mooncakes that you bought for us?! The packaging of this mooncake shows that this is some expensive stuff!”

Lin Nan saw the mooncakes that Chen had bought for them. He was surprised at first, and sighed after that.

“Unfortunately… There are only two of us to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival. It is not possible for us to finish all these mooncakes.”

Chen was touched after hearing Lin Nan’s comment. Both of them spent their childhood at an orphanage. They supported each other at the slum. They had never experienced the love that a family can bring. It was a pitiful predicament.

“Both of you are invited to come to my house tomorrow to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival with my family. I will come and pick both of you up tomorrow.” Chen smiled and said.

“Really?”

Lin Nan and Lin Xiang had their eyes wide opened. They could not contain the overwhelming joy in their hearts.

“Of course, it’s real! My dad and mom would love to celebrate it with a lot of people! They will definitely be very happy when they find out that both of you are coming with me to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival with them!” Chen said without hesitation.

“Yay! I like to celebrate it with a lot people as well!” Lin Nan jumped up and down happily.

Lin Xiang pursed. Her face was as red as tomato. She was always the weak one in her relationship with Chen. As Chen became more and more successful, more and more excellent women would be around him. Her self-esteem became even lower. Sometimes, she even thought that she was just another toy of Chen.

Finally, Chen’s words had proved that he truly loved her without any other bad intentions. Chen would not bring her to meet his parent if he was just fooling around with her. For Lin Xiang, this was the best thing that had ever happened to her! She would not care if Chen had another girlfriend or even a wife.

It was more than enough for her to know that she had given her heart to the right guy.

After that, Chen left and traveled back home.

The second morning, Chen drove his mom to the market to purchase ingredients for tonight’s big dinner. He helped his mom to carry all the goods. His whole morning was spent with his mom.

It was almost four in the afternoon, Chen went and picked up Lin Xiang and Lin Nan.

Lin Xiang spent some time to doll herself up. She looked even more beautiful now. She wore a light blue knee-length dress. Her voluptuous body was shown without a single flaw. Her mature lady presence was really strong. However, the gentleness was still there. That made her even more desirable.

Even Lin Nan went to the barber to get a proper haircut. He wore a t-shirt with jeans. He looked really sharp.

Both of them bore some gifts. They wanted to give it to Chen’s parents. Chen’s mom was already standing outside, waiting for their arrival. Chen informed her earlier that he would bring some friends to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival together. She welcomed them passionately.

“Good day aunty! Good day aunty!”

Lin Xiang and Lin Nan greeted Chen’s mom politely.

“You guys are really polite! Xiaobei, introduce them to me quickly!”

Chen’s mom was really hospitable. She was smiling non-stop.

“Let me introduce myself!”

Lin Nan came forward bravely and said, “My name is Lin Nan. This is my sister, Lin Xiang. She is my bro, Xiaobei’s girlfriend! Thus. I’m his brother-in-law… Aunty? Are you okay? Aunty…”

“Erm…”

Chen’s mom had her eyes wide opened. She was really puzzled. She thought that Luo was Chen’s girlfriend. How come there was another girlfriend popped out of nowhere? And, there was even an extra brother-in-law.

Chen’s mom had a mixed feeling about that.

“Mom… Listen to me!”

Chen was caught off-guard by Lin Nan the joker. He completely forgotten to tell Lin Nan what to say and what not to say.

“Aunty… Are the guests here?

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman came out from the house. She was holding Xiaobai in one hand and a juicy peach in another hand. She was enjoying the juicy peach, she was none other than Luo Puti. The only woman that could make the arrogant Xiaobai stay with her all the time.

“Erm…”

Chen’s mom was stunned. The situation became really awkward. Luo came here to do the acupuncture treatment on Chen’s dad. Initially, she wanted to leave after she finished with the treatment but Chen’s mom had insisted that she stays. Coincidentally. Lin Xiang was here today as well. There would be blood when two women who loves the same man meet together.

“Little sis! Long time no see!”

Right at that moment. Luo smiled and turned to Lin Xiang.

“How are you recently, sister?” Lin Xiang smiled back to Luo as well. She held her hands in hers.

What the hell was going on?

“You… Both of you know each other?”

Chen’s mom had her eyes and mouth wide opened. How did these two ladies know each other? Even Chen was puzzled by it. His Scholar Heart had a hard time to figure out what the hell was going on here.

“We are all Chen’s girlfriend.” Luo smiled and said.

“What?!”

Chen and his mom were utterly stunned when they heard Luo’s words. After that, Luo pulled Lin into the house.

“I’m not Chen’s girlfriend. I don’t want Chen’s mom to feel awkward and destroy the atmosphere of his Mid-Autumn festival.” Luo explained in a soft voice.

“You don’t have to explain to me. I don’t mind Chen having another girlfriend at all.” Lin pursed her lips and said.

“I’m not Chen’s girlfriend!” Luo said seriously.

“I don’t mind!” Lin replied seriously as well.

“Erm…”

Things got complicated. Luo was having a hard time trying to comprehend the things that were going on around here.

Outside the house.

Chen stared and Lin Nan and said, “What the hell are you laughing at?”

Lin Nan grinned and said, “I told you earlier that you are someone extraordinary in this world! Sooner or later you will become a dragon that flies in the sky gracefully! Countless of women will be attracted to you, even if you don’t take any action at all! Look now! My prophecy has come true!”

Chen was stunned. What Lin Nan claimed did make sense. Lin Nan had even advised his sister with the same words. However, Lin Xiang did not mind it at all. That was why she was in a relationship with Chen.

“Wow! Such a handsome, big wolfdog!”

Lin Nan screamed and ran to the garden. He wanted to get close to Chen’s wolfdog by acting and looking pleasant.

“Xiaobei, you have to be honest with me! What is going on right here?” Chen’s mom finally asked.

Erm… So… Both of them are my girlfriends.” Chen said unwillingly.

The worry was gone when Chen’s mom heard the apparent truth.

She smacked Chen on the back with all her might and guffawed, “My son is da man! I can’t believe that you are in a relationship with two such beautiful ladies! And, both of them are getting along so well! This is something rare!”

“Huh? Aren’t you going to be angry at me?”

Chen was shocked. He thought that his mom was going to scold him. On the contrary, his mom had praised him for it.

“Idiot! Two girlfriends are nothing! I wish that all the beautiful and nice ladies in this world are your girlfriends! I wish for a harem! This is your great fortune! I don’t think that there’s a mother in this world who doesn’t wish for good fortune on her son!”

Chen’s mom smiled. Her eyes were filled with unconditional love. Chen could not hold back anymore. He was so touched that he hugged his mom and kissed her neck. If his mom was okay with it, then, his dad would be okay with it as well. Soon, the Mid-Autumn festival was going to begin. Looking at all the delicious dishes, Chen’s dad sighed and said, “The whole thing will only be perfect if there’s some booze here.”

Chen’s mom quickly stared at him and said, “Don’t even dream about it! Luo mentioned that you are not allowed to consume any alcohol before your wounds recover.”

Chen’s dad sighed again after hearing his wife’s order. This was a classic example of being hen-pecked!

Luo smiled and said, “Uncle, you have gone through three acupuncture treatments. I think it is totally okay for you to consume alcohol… In a small amount.”

“Did you hear what Luo just said? I can drink some alcohol!”

Chen’s dad got excited again when Luo backed him up.

“Bring some booze here! Xiaobei and Lin Nan are here today. They can be my drinking buddies!”

“But… We don’t have booze in the house.” Chen’s mom said.

“I will buy! I’m a good runner!” Lin Nan volunteered and said.

“That alright! Sit tight! My friend gave me a bottle of alcohol! I was told that the alcohol’s taste is legendary! Let me get it now!”

Chen grinned and walked to his room.

He opened up his treasure chest.

Ding!

[Osmanthus Honey. Chang’e brewed it personally. One would feel relaxed and forget all troubles after consuming it! Words of advice; Although the Osmanthus Honey tastes really good, don’t ever over consume it. Do you want to withdraw it?]

Yes!

Good things must be shared with friends and family! A light flashed and an exquisitely well-designed flask appeared in Chen’s hand. A pleasant, earthy smell was oozing out from the flask. Chen felt genuinely relaxed, after just smelling it!

Can you imagine what would happen to a person after drinking it?

Chen then returned to the dining area quickly. Everyone was attracted by the design of the flask when they saw Chen. The material and the design of the flask was something out of this world. It looked like it costs millions of Yuan! If it was used to store alcohol, one could imagine how good the drink could be?

Everyone was looking forward to drinking it. Chen found a few cups and filled all the cups personally. He served it to them. Everyone held their breath when the alcohol was being poured out from the flask. The liquid that carried the rich color of amber was slowly flowing out from the flask. There was a golden shine to it. Lastly, the thickness of it was as concentrated as honey. It looked like gold, mined from the moon in liquid form. It was rather poetic. Well, it was the time of Mid-Autumn festival. It should be poetic.

“Let us cheer! I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn festival! Everything will go well this year!”

Chen took the initiative to lift up the cup. Then, everyone stood up as well.

“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”

Six cups collided with each other. Joy filled everyone’s heart instantly. Everyone delivered the cup to their lips and had a taste of this fine alcohol.

“Oh my God! This! Is! Too! Yummy!”

When the golden liquid landed on the tip of the tongue, a feeling that words could not describe came like a wave. Six of them shouted in awe at the same time. They started to flush. Every single pore and muscle was relaxed. A feeling of laziness washed over everyone. All the worries and tiredness were gone entirely. It was like the person was floating in the middle of the sky and lying down on the cloud. That feeling was better than anything else in this world!

“One more cup for me!”

Luo licked her red lips and handed her cup to Chen.

“This alcohol is no kidding. You should drink slowly.”

Chen poured another cup of the golden liquid to Luo and advised her politely.

“Pssst… I can handle this alcohol better than anyone! Maybe, you are too stingy to share?”

Luo stared at Chen, and she finished another cup of it while talking.

“One more cup!”

“Alright. As long as you are happy.”

Chen poured another cup for her.

This Ice Demon Queen loved eating and drinking. She will show Chen her lousy mood if she doesn’t get what she wants. Without a pause, she finished the third cup. Just when she wanted to drink the fourth cup, her vision became blurry and her mind became blank as well.

*POM!*

Her head landed on the table and fainted.

“Damn! This alcohol is really strong!” Lin Nan shouted.

“Drink it slowly if you know it! Nobody will carry you home when you are drunk.” Lin Xiang advise his brother in a soft voice.

“Xiaobei! Don’t just stand there! Send Luo to your room now!”

Chen’s mom lifted her eyebrows and said.

“Don’t come down until she’s well taken care of!”

“You are a bad guy… Erm… Don’t put your arms around me…*sshole…You are pressing on my boobies… Eww…”

Luo was completely drunk. She laid on Chen’s bed and started to mumble.

“Sister… Your boobies are pressing on my arm…”

Chen was lying beside her, putting on an innocence face. His right arm was being hugged tightly by Luo. It was trapped deep inside the cleavage of Luo’s “snow mountains”. It was not an easy job to pull it out. Also, Luo was turning around on the bed non-stop. This made Chen’s arm suffer from an enormous amount of pressure!

“Damn… It’s gigantic… It’s elastic… So fantastic… I think that’s alright. Let me suffer a little bit and have your boobies put my arm to sleep. Chen could not pull out his hand, and he did not want to pull it out either. So, he took out his cellphone and went straight to the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms.

Nezha: Wow! God Chen is online! Happy Mid-Autumn festival! (Three cute emojis).

Monkey King: My bro! Happy Mid-Autumn festival!

Yanwang: God Chen. Happy Mid-Autumn festival! (Three smiling emojis).

Chang’e: God Chen. Hehehe…

Chen: Hahaha! Thank you so much for your wishes! I wish that everyone has a Happy Mid-Autumn festival as well!

God Erlang: Let’s cease the all these useless formalities! Get the Red Envelopes rolling!

Monkey King: Okay! You should be the first one! We will give out our Red Envelopes after you give out your Red Envelope!

God Erlang: Erm… Wow! The moon is beautiful today! (Act dumb)

Monkey King: Such a shameless bastard! Are you trying to cheat my bro’s Red Envelopes? (Three despising emojis)

God Erlang: Stupid monkey! I didn’t say that it’s compulsory to give out Red Envelopes! Why the rockhead did you scold me?! You wanna have a fight with me, huh?

Monkey King: Come on! Let’s fight! I will be a coward if I’m afraid of you!

*Cough*

*Cough*

Chen: Both of you deities, don’t be angry! Today is Mid-Autumn festival! Such beautiful night! One should give out some Red Envelopes to make the night more joyful! I acquired some mooncakes earlier on. Let me give everyone a big Red Envelope!

God Erlang: Pssst… There’s nothing special about a mooncake! It’s just a pile of flour! Even my Xiao Tianquan does not want to eat it!

Xiao Tianquan: That’s right! I don’t want mooncake! I want ham!

Nezha: I want Wahaha Calcium Milk!

I don’t want mooncake! I am craving for spicy sticks! I want spicy sticks!

Everyone: We don’t want mooncakes! None of it! They’re horrible!

Chen: Are you sure that you guys don’t want the mooncakes? These mooncakes come from my place! They are special! You will really regret this if you miss out on this opportunity!

God Erlang: No… Thanks! No one will eat such horrible food even if you’re paying us to eat them!

Everyone: No! No!

…..

“This bunch of jokers doesn’t hold back at all huh! I will make you guys regret this!”

Chen raised his eyebrows and tore open the three hundred mooncake packages that he had purchased earlier. He then put close to ten thousand mooncakes into a big Red Envelope.

Sent!

Ding!

[Chen has sent a Red Envelope in the chat group.]

Typically, everyone in the group would have a pair of fast hands. The Red Envelope would definitely be snatched away within a few seconds. However, nobody made a move today! It was understandable, I guess. They had been eating the original flavor mooncake for quite some time. Thus, they were sick of the taste of mooncake. They would not take it from you even you send it to them as a gift. The situation turned awkward when no one snatched the Red Envelope that Chen sent to the group.

“No one will know how delicious is the mooncake if no one snatches the Red Envelope. How am I supposed to act cool in front of them?” Chen frowned.

All of a sudden, someone finally spoke in the group.

Chang’e: Wow! The mooncake that Chen sent in the group tastes so good!” (Three drooling emojis)

God Erlang: Really?

Chang’e: Of course, it’s real! The one that I got is Snow Skin mooncake! It tastes so good! Also, there is fruit inside the mooncake! It is really refreshing and yummy! I like it a lot! Thank you, God Chen!

God Erlang: What?! There are some other ingredients inside the mooncake? Sounds like some kind of gimmick! Let me snatch one and see for myself!

God Erlang: What the f*ck!!!! All the Red Envelopes are gone!!!! (Three shocking emojis)

God Erlang: All of you guys have no credibility at all! You guys said earlier that none of you are going to snatch any mooncake! But, now, all the Red Envelopes are gone! (Angry emoji)

Monkey King: Idiot! When Chang’e was speaking just now, we had already started to snatch it! And, you still stood there like an idiot! Three eyes my *ss, maybe the third one is a substitute for your missing brain!

Sanzang: Amitabha! This Ten Nuts Mooncake is too damn delicious! I felt as if my tongue is being soaked in the holy light itself!

Bull Demon King: My Sour Vegetable Mooncake tastes really good as well! I felt like I was flying in the sky!

Li Bai: The mooncakes that you guys are eating have nothing to compare to my mooncake! My Soaked-In-Oil-Dried-Chili Mooncake is the best among all! The appearance of this mooncake is beyond creative! The spiciness of it can make your mind tingle! I’m practically drooling right now!

Monkey King: I got Peach Mooncake! Hahaha! Too damn delicious!

Qian Liyan: I got Durian Mooncake! It smells bad, but it tastes super delicious! God Chen! I want more! I beg you, give me more Durian Mooncake!!! (Unlimited drooling emojis).

Xiao Tianquan: I got a Ham Mooncake! It tastes so good! God Chen is the best and coolest (Worship)

….

Those who successfully snatched a mooncake started to show off in the group. It was as if all of them had found some kind of legendary treasure! They were all so happy. However, those who failed at snatching a mooncake were really sad. Especially, Yanwang and God Erlang. They were simply crestfallen.

Yanwang: All the low-tier ghost managed to snatch at least one mooncake! Why didn’t I manage to snatch at least one mooncake?! (Crying emoji)

God Erlang: Why didn’t you mention Xiao Tianquan? Even Xiao Tianquan managed to snatch at least one mooncake! I was left empty handed! Xiao Tianquan, give me your mooncake now!

Xiao Tianquan: No!

God Erlang: Damn it! Are you looking for some beating?

Xiao Tianquan: No, no, no! I’m not letting this go!

God Erlang: Damn you, dog! You couldn’t possibly have forgotten what I did for you! Have you forgotten how I fed you and nurtured you into a handsome dog! Now, you refuse to repay me! It’s really sad! (Heartbroken emoji).

Xiao Tianquan: Alright! Alright! Alright! Say no more… I will give it to you. (Sweating emoji)

God Erlang: Well, finally, you’ve done something good!

Xiao Tianquan: Friendly advice; there’s some saliva left on the half-eaten mooncake. I hope you don’t mind!

God Erlang: Get lost! (Knife emoji)

Yanwang: God Chen! I beg you! Please give me a mooncake! I’m filled with tears! I will have my hands and feet on the ground to beg for a mooncake! (Crying emoji).

God Erlang: God Chen! Please! Can you send a few more mooncakes in the group?

Chen: Hehe… Two of you spoke the loudest in the group just now! Both of you thought that my mooncakes sucked! And, now, you want a mooncake! Too late!

Yanwang: God Chen! I know I was at fault! You do know I’m a foodie right? Please, just send me a mooncake. Half a mooncake will do as well! (More crying emojis)

God Erlang: God Chen! Please! All I want is half a mooncake! I really want to eat it! Have pity on me, please!

Chen: It’s useless for both of you deities to beg me! The mooncakes from my place are really special! I have sent out all the mooncakes just now! I don’t have any extra with me! Just wait for next year! (Acting cool emojis)
