Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Oh? Quite the Host, Aren’t You?
The two bodyguards moved to intervene, but to their surprise, Zhang Xiaojie waved them off, keeping his face presented for Luo Yuqing to strike.
Luo Yuqing finally stopped after five consecutive slaps.
She rubbed her stinging hand and said with a smirk, "I just slapped you. You’re not happy about it, are you?"
"I’m devastated that you hit me, Sister Qing." Zhang Xiaojie kept his head bowed before Luo Yuqing, his voice as pitiful as a wronged wife’s. "It’s not that I intentionally gave your exclusive room away. They forced me to. Sister Qing, you must know there are many people in Yandu I can’t afford to provoke. They demanded it, and my hands were tied. Please, forgive me! If you’re still angry, just slap me a few more times to vent your frustration!"
Zhang Xiaojie’s words not only infuriated the two bodyguards behind him but also astonished Wang Chenning and Zheng Qiuhang.
’A man who can swallow his pride like that is no simple character.’
However, Wang Chenning still faintly detected a flicker of killing intent beneath Zhang Xiaojie’s bowing and scraping.
"Take me to the Empress Room!" Luo Yuqing commanded, her queenly aura unwavering. "If you dare to stall or make excuses again, I’ll break all three of your legs!"
Luo Yuqing’s words left Zheng Qiuhang, standing beside her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, yet she also found it incredibly thrilling.
’Our adorable and respectable Queen Luo, always cracking a crude joke when you least expect it.’
’A pro with that much charisma must be irresistible to men. Even I, a woman, am in awe of her. I have to take notes.’
"Yes, Sister Qing, this way please!" Zhang Xiaojie didn’t dare defy Luo Yuqing. He bowed, made a welcoming gesture, and started leading the way.
Seeing their boss get hit, the two bodyguards Zhang Xiaojie had brought were naturally pissed off, and their glares at Wang Chenning were anything but friendly.
However, since Zhang Xiaojie himself had swallowed his pride, they couldn’t make a move.
But unexpectedly, just as they turned to follow Zhang Xiaojie, Wang Chenning struck.
With a powerful side kick, he sent the bodyguard on the right crashing into his companion. Caught completely off guard, both men tumbled to the floor. Before they could react, Wang Chenning leaped into the air, bringing a vicious downward kick onto one of the bodyguards as he tried to get up. He followed with a heavy elbow strike to the other, doubling him over like a cooked shrimp.
The blood-curdling screams that echoed down the hallway were so terrifying that Zheng Qiuhang staggered in fright, thankfully grabbing onto Luo Yuqing to steady herself.
Luo Yuqing was startled as well, but she showed no signs of panic.
’Wang Chenning’s sudden move to take down Zhang Xiaojie’s bodyguards was, of course, him playing along with her act. This guy really knew how to read her.’
’I’ll have to reward him handsomely later.’
’She was also curious. How did Wang Chenning get to be such a good fighter?’
She had sent people to investigate Wang Chenning’s background, but they hadn’t found any record of him studying under a martial arts master.
Besides Wang Chenning himself, no one else could ever figure out the reason for his incredible prowess, no matter how hard they wracked their brains.
When he was eight years old, the memories of an otherworldly expert had forcibly invaded his mind, and he had eventually assimilated them.
After forcibly assimilating the memories of that expert, the man’s martial arts, academic knowledge, medical expertise, and more all became his.
On top of that, he was young and incredibly agile. His explosive power was second to none, and the speed of his strikes was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
With power and speed few could match, combined with his proficiency in anatomy, not even a large group of attackers would be his opponent.
As Wang Chenning took down the two bodyguards, Zhang Xiaojie was caught in the fray and knocked heavily to the ground.
After being knocked to the ground, he struggled for a moment before getting back on his feet, feeling a bit unsteady.
However, he didn’t dare show the slightest hint of anger. After getting up, he scrambled several feet away to stand with his back to the wall, still bowing his head low without a single word of complaint.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiuhang was once again astonished. Her curiosity about Wang Chenning’s martial skill and Luo Yuqing’s identity deepened.
’Wang Chenning is such a handsome guy, and he seems so quiet. Who would have thought he was such a monster in a fight?’
’And Luo Yuqing looks like a bombshell, but who knew she was an actual queen.’
’Bullying someone so brazenly, and they don’t even dare to resist... you have to be impressed.’
With Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing by her side, her sense of security skyrocketed.
After knocking the two struggling bodyguards back to the ground, Wang Chenning barked at Zhang Xiaojie, "Tell them to get lost!"
"Get the hell out of here!" Zhang Xiaojie didn’t dare disobey, ordering his two useless bodyguards to scram.
’Words couldn’t describe the fury in his heart.’
’His dread of Wang Chenning had also reached a terrifying level.’
’This toy boy with Luo Yuqing is way too good at fighting...’
Led by a dejected, head-hanging Zhang Xiaojie, Wang Chenning, Zheng Qiuhang, and Luo Yuqing arrived at the door of the "Empress" room.
Several bodyguards were stationed at the door. Seeing the owner of Qingyun Hall himself leading people over, they didn’t pay it much mind.
But to their surprise, as soon as Wang Chenning was next to them, he struck without a word.
Before Luo Yuqing and Zheng Qiuhang could even see what he did, the two bodyguards collapsed without a sound.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojie was terrified all over again. His hand trembled as he pushed open the door.
As the four of them entered the room, everyone inside turned to look.
"Aunt Qing?! What are you doing here?" A handsome man, who had been sitting on the central sofa talking to a beautiful woman, shot to his feet in astonishment.
"Lin Annian, another new woman!" Luo Yuqing said, looking at the handsome man with a mocking expression. She then sized up the beautiful woman beside him and exclaimed with feigned shock, "Well, if it isn’t the famous actress Yang Xiaomi! You even managed to bag the great star Yang Xiaomi. My, you’re so impressive!"
Although Wang Chenning and Zheng Qiuhang didn’t follow celebrities, they recognized her. The woman with the handsome Lin Annian was none other than Yang Xiaomi, the hugely popular actress who had starred as the female lead in *Sword and Fairy*.
Yang Xiaomi could naturally tell that Luo Yuqing was no ordinary person. She quickly stood up but was at a loss for how to greet her.
"You’re joking, Aunt Qing!" Lin Annian said with a placating smile. "What brings you here? Please, sit."
He then introduced the actress beside him. "This is Aunt Qing, the most beautiful woman in Yandu. And this is Yang Xiaomi. We were just discussing a new collaboration. I’ve invested in a series and hope to cast Ms. Yang as the lead."
"Hello, I’m Yang Xiaomi." Yang Xiaomi graciously extended her hand to Luo Yuqing. "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Luo!"
Since she wasn’t part of their social circle, she didn’t know what kind of person Luo Yuqing was.
But she knew what kind of man Lin Annian was. A woman that even he treated with deference, and one who possessed such a powerful aura, was someone she had to treat with the utmost respect.
But unexpectedly, Luo Yuqing completely ignored Yang Xiaomi’s greeting. She paid no mind to the outstretched hand and instead spoke coldly to Lin Annian, "Oh, so you’re the host now? Already putting on the airs of one!"
Then she barked at Zhang Xiaojie, who was cowering off to the side, "Little Chicken, tell Lin Annian whose exclusive room this is. Then kick them out."
