The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

The two of them were intimate for a while before leaving the room and heading down to the ground-floor restaurant.

Ivic was already up and had prepared breakfast for them.

"Ivic, morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Chen. Although, it's almost noon!"

Ivic replied with a smile.

Chen Erbao chuckled and then, as if remembering something, said, "There are a few million in cash in the car. Help me deposit it into my Vienna membership account."

He wasn't really after the money; he just wanted an excuse to teach the Zhou Family a lesson.

It was only a few million. He didn't really care about that kind of money anymore.

Ivic paused, stunned. "Mr. Chen, all of it?"

"All of it. From now on, all my expenses will be deducted from the account, right?"

"Yes... Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. Since the amount is quite large, I'll need to report it!"

"Go ahead."

Seeing Ivic hurry away, Lin Zhiqing smiled. "Their hotel has probably never had a big spender like you before. Who deposits a few million all at once for a hotel stay!"

Chen Erbao said matter-of-factly, "It's not my money anyway. Might as well use it."

Lin Zhiqing said with a hint of worry, "Were you too harsh on the Zhou Family yesterday? Do you think they'll retaliate against us?"

Chen Erbao scoffed. "Let them. They can come at me if they have the guts."

He couldn't care less. So what if they were gangsters? If he wanted to, he could take on hundreds of them at once. Ordinary people with knives, guns, and clubs were no longer a threat to him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing nodded.

The two began to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

Chen Erbao's stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit. In just a few moments, half the food was already in his stomach, but Lin Zhiqing was full after just a couple of bites.

"How can you eat so much!"

Lin Zhiqing stared in amazement. She figured Chen Erbao's stomach must be much larger than a normal person's.

"For us cultivators, having a big appetite is pretty normal!"

Chen Erbao explained, his mouth stuffed full of food.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing grew worried. "When I start Cultivation with you, will I be like this too...? What if I get fat?"

Chen Erbao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You'll be cultivating and you're still worried about your figure? You can just mold yourself into whatever shape you want!"

He wasn't just saying that to placate Lin Zhiqing.

If Chen Erbao wanted, he could make himself fat or as thin as a beanpole at any time.

It was just a matter of using Spiritual Power to control the distribution of his body fat—it was simple!

"That's great! I won't have to worry about gaining weight anymore! I feel like I've gained a lot just from being out with you these past two days!"

"No way! Let me feel and see!"

Chen Erbao said as he reached out to touch her.

The hall was bustling with people. Lin Zhiqing blushed and slapped away Chen Erbao's groping hand.

Seeing how heartily Chen Erbao was eating, Lin Zhiqing took out the Jade Token and turned it over in her hands, examining it.

"Er Bao, what are these patterns on the back? They look really strange."

Lin Zhiqing asked, looking at the Jade Token in her hand.

Chen Erbao thought for a moment before answering seriously, "You can think of it as a type of Array. Don't underestimate it. I told you to wear it at all times because it can block one external attack. In theory, it can even stop a bullet! This is a protective talisman. It wasn't easy to make, so you have to take good care of it!"

Lin Zhiqing was stunned. "It can stop a bullet?"

Chen Erbao nodded. "Of course... but don't go testing it with a gun. After blocking one attack, it needs to gather energy again, so it can't be used consecutively."

"Oh, okay! I'll definitely take good care of it!"

Lin Zhiqing believed Chen Erbao's words unconditionally. Even if he had said it could stop a nuclear bomb, she would have believed him.

Before long, Ivic returned, his face flushed with excitement.

"Mr. Chen, the North China regional agent for the Vienna Group heard about this and has specially upgraded your membership to the highest level. Not only will you now enjoy private butler service, but you can even have me book your travel arrangements. In the future, no matter which city you go to, you can call me. I'll be at your service!"

Chen Erbao's eyes lit up slightly. "That's very thoughtful service. Not bad. I might be going to Binhai in a few days. I'll call you then!"

"No problem! I look forward to serving you, Mr. Chen!"

"By the way, can you find me a red string? It's for wearing the Jade Pendant."

Chen Erbao pointed at the Jade Pendant in Lin Zhiqing's hand.

Ivic nodded immediately. "I'll get on it right away."

After Chen Erbao finished eating, Lin Zhiqing sat on the sofa, bored. "Er Bao, where are we going today?"

Chen Erbao thought to himself, 'We've already climbed the mountain, seen the Celestial Pool, and walked around the ancient town. I really can't think of anywhere else fun to go right now.'

"There are still a few mountains we haven't climbed. Want to go?"

"No, no way! It's too tiring!"

Lin Zhiqing refused to go mountain climbing.

Once was more than enough. She didn't want to do it again.

Chen Erbao shrugged. "Then let's wait for Ivic to get back and ask him."

...

「Around noon, Zhou Yuan arrived at the Fang Family's residence.」

"Brother, you came without even calling ahead!"

Zhou Mei, Fang Han's mother, came over to greet him with a smile.

Zhou Yuan nodded. "I heard Han was hospitalized, so I came to check on him."

Fang Ming was just coming downstairs. Seeing Zhou Yuan, he paused. "Big Brother!"

Zhou Yuan nodded. "How's business lately?"

"It's alright. Same as always. We've hit our growth ceiling here in the Northeast."

"Mm."

Their exchange was very brief.

Fang Ming gestured toward the study. "Brother, let's talk in the study."

Zhou Yuan nodded and followed Fang Ming into the study.

"Brother, stay for lunch. I'll go buy some groceries!"

Zhou Mei called out.

Inside the study, Fang Ming poured two cups of tea and offered one to Zhou Yuan. "Big Brother, have some tea."

"Don't trouble yourself. How are Han's injuries?"

Zhou Yuan asked.

Fang Ming sighed. "It's all my fault for not being strict enough. I've let him become more and more arrogant over the years. This time, he picked a fight with the wrong person and paid a heavy price... Most of it is just superficial injuries, but the doctor said there's a mild concussion. It's not serious!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan snorted angrily. "Those people from Medicine King Hall are too damn arrogant! They have no restraint. They're showing us no respect at all!"

"There's nothing to be done. You know the scale of my business—it's nothing compared to Medicine King Hall. Their partner beat up my son, and I'm the one who has to smile and apologize to them."

Fang Ming said, his face devoid of expression.

Seeing this, a strange glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes. He asked probingly, "Brother-in-law, are you planning to just let this go?"

Fang Ming acted as if he didn't understand, his eyelids drooping. "Brother, Lin Cheng from Medicine King Hall already called me. What else can I do? I don't even dare to suggest they come and apologize."

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and said meaningfully, "That partner of Medicine King Hall is quite something. I heard he took on more than fifty people by himself at the Changbai Mountain scenic area. That's not something an ordinary person can do..."

"If I'm not mistaken, he must be an Ancient Martial Artist. Otherwise, Medicine King Hall wouldn't be so protective of him, even having the Lin Family's only daughter accompany him."
