The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Lin Zhiqing was, of course, keenly aware of the changes in his body. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with desire as she said:

"Come on, take me shopping first~ We can deal with *that* tonight..."

Like Tom being toyed with by Jerry, Chen Erbao immediately nodded and agreed, patting his chest.

"Buy whatever you want! Your man is rich!"

"Hee hee!"

Lin Zhiqing grinned like a sly fox whose scheme had just succeeded.

The two of them got in the car and headed straight for Dawan Mall.

The mall was crowded and bustling, with no shortage of attractive young men and women.

But in Chen Erbao's personal ranking of beauties, Lin Zhiqing was in the very top tier. Aside from the woman in the green dress from the antique shop, no one could outshine her; at most, they could only be her equal.

This was proof enough of just how outrageously beautiful she was!

And Chen Erbao, needless to say, was in a league of his own.

He had always been uncommonly handsome, but ever since beginning his Cultivation of the Joyful Technique, his entire aura had changed dramatically. While it had little effect on men, his appeal to women was absolutely devastating.

Furthermore, after breaking through several Realms, he had expelled a significant amount of impurities from his body. Now, his skin was every bit as flawless as Lin Zhiqing's or Lin Rui's.

So, the moment the two of them stepped out of the car, they immediately drew the attention of all the surrounding passersby.

"Damn, are they celebrities? She's gorgeous!"

"What a total knockout!"

"And the guy is hot too! Kinda like one of those pretty-boy idols, but with way more masculine charm. I'm in love, fam~"

"..."

Hearing the comments from the crowd, Chen Erbao remained completely unfazed. It was only to be expected, after all.

Lin Zhiqing beamed and boldly looped her arm through Chen Erbao's.

She was, of course, delighted to be praised like this alongside Chen Erbao.

"Let's go check out that place over there."

Lin Zhiqing had been here before, so she knew her way around and led him straight to a clothing store.

"You shop at places like this too?"

Chen Erbao couldn't help but ask, looking doubtfully at the prices on the racks.

In his mind, Lin Zhiqing was a rich heiress. 'The clothes here are a bit pricey,' he thought, 'but they don't really seem to match her status.'

"I'm not going to a banquet, so why buy something so expensive? For everyday wear, as long as it's comfortable and pretty, that's all that matters. There's no need to spend so much," she explained.

Chen Erbao's eyes lit up.

"I didn't realize you were so wonderfully practical. Looks like I've really found a treasure!"

"Hee hee, you can just be smug about it then!"

After they bantered for a moment, a sales associate brought over the clothes and led Lin Zhiqing to a fitting room.

When Lin Zhiqing emerged again, Chen Erbao's eyes went wide. His gaze was fixed on her full chest and her fair, slender legs.

She was wearing a short skirt, though not an exceptionally short one.

The style was ordinary and the color was plain, but on Lin Zhiqing, it just looked beautiful.

Seeing that Chen Erbao couldn't take his eyes off her, Lin Zhiqing was secretly delighted. Just as she was about to ask him how it looked, a sleazy voice suddenly sounded by her ear:

"Miss, you're very beautiful. Can we be friends?"

"?"

Lin Zhiqing turned her head and saw that the speaker was a trendily dressed young man.

He had multicolored hair, ears filled with studs, and his arms were covered in dragon and tiger tattoos. He had the distinct look of a thug.

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Lin Zhiqing had been hit on countless times in her life. For her, such an opening line held no novelty whatsoever; she was sick of hearing it.

'Besides, my heart belongs to someone now!'

Just as she was about to leave, the young man suddenly pulled a car key from his pocket and began twirling it in his hand.

"Miss, are you sure you won't reconsider? A beautiful woman like you deserves better, don't you think?"

The key was for a Ferrari. A classic douchebag move.

But he had picked the wrong person to try it on.

"And you're 'better'?"

Chen Erbao had noticed the guy's lecherous stare from the start. Seeing him refuse to give up, he strode forward, wrapped an arm around Lin Zhiqing's shoulders, and asked with a cold expression.

Lin Zhiqing deliberately leaned her head against Chen Erbao's chest, making her intentions perfectly clear.

If his first attempt at a pick-up line could be considered a normal interaction, this punk's second comment was pure harassment.

'What does he mean, I deserve a better choice?'

Seeing Chen Erbao's possessive gesture, the other man sneered, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll give your woman to me. She's out of your league!"

Though startled by Chen Erbao's good looks, he quickly composed himself and issued a threat.

"Whether I'm in her league or not is none of your damn business."

Chen Erbao couldn't be bothered to waste another second on him and started to lead Lin Zhiqing away.

But to their surprise, the man blocked their path.

"Do you have any idea who I am?"

Hearing this line, Chen Erbao almost burst out laughing.

'That line went out of style so many fucking years ago. Who still uses it to try and act tough?'

"Are you a fucking moron? Scram!"

Chen Erbao was in no mood for this and shot back without hesitation.

Hearing Chen Erbao's insult, the man's expression changed, and he laughed out of sheer fury.

"Kid, if you've got any balls, you'll wait right here. We'll see if you can talk so tough then!"

He pointed accusingly at Chen Erbao, then pulled out his phone to make a call.

Seeing the man's finger about to poke him in the face, Chen Erbao's expression soured. He shot out a hand, grabbed the finger, and snapped it backward.

"CRACK!"

"AHH..."

The man never expected Chen Erbao to make a move. Caught completely off guard, his finger was broken and bent backward. The pain was so intense that he couldn't even finish making his call, and he crumpled to the ground, howling in agony.

The commotion attracted the attention of everyone on the entire floor.

Someone recognized his identity:

"Holy crap, isn't that Fang Ze, the young master of the Huaming Group? Who would dare to touch him?"

"See? That super handsome, tall, and built badass right there."

"What damn good is any of that? The Huaming Group is one of the top leading companies in Hongyuan City. After beating up their young master, how could he possibly have a good ending?"

"Sigh, what a shame. And that girl with him is so beautiful..."

"..."

The onlookers' conversation reached the ears of Chen Erbao and Lin Zhiqing. Chen Erbao had never heard of the so-called Huaming Group.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Is the Huaming Group a big deal?"

Lin Zhiqing was also a little surprised, not having expected to run into this kind of trouble just from a shopping trip.

She gave a faint smile.

"It's fine. Others might be afraid of him, but I'm not. Our Medicine King Hall doesn't need to show any deference to the Huaming Group."

Only then did Chen Erbao feel relieved.

'After all, Medicine King Hall is a national super-conglomerate. A mere local powerhouse isn't even worth their notice,' he mused.

"I should call my brother. If things get ugly, it wouldn't be good for us to be at a disadvantage."

"Okay."

Chen Erbao nodded. Although he was a great fighter, he didn't want to cause a huge brawl in such a public place.

If they were in some back alley, he couldn't guarantee the other guys' safety.

'Chen Qing could certainly attest to that,' he thought.

"Brother, some guy is harassing us... Uh-huh, at Dawan Mall..."

Just as Lin Zhiqing hung up, more than twenty men came rushing out of the mall elevators. Every one of them was tall, dressed in a suit and tie, and looked absolutely vicious.

"Young Master! Who had the balls to lay a hand on our Young Master!"

One of the lackeys started shouting from a distance, jogging over to help Fang Ze up.

It turned out that Fang Ze had managed to send out a message through the pain. His company happened to have a branch office nearby, so he had been able to summon over twenty people.

Chen Erbao was also a bit surprised they had arrived so quickly. He moved Lin Zhiqing behind him and prepared to fight.
