Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 204 - 204 198 Shameless Father and Daughter_1

204: Chapter 198 Shameless Father and Daughter_1 204: Chapter 198 Shameless Father and Daughter_1 Cloud City’s high-end restaurant.

Lu Chuan took a taxi here and saw Yu Qingfeng waiting at the entrance upon getting out of the car.

He walked over and asked somewhat puzzledly, “Senior Yu, what trouble have you encountered?”

Yu Qingfeng sighed helplessly and explained that Zhu Cheng’an wanted the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb for his daughter’s beauty treatment.

After hearing this, Lu Chuan felt somewhat irritated and said, “These people from the Martial Arts Association are shameless.

I exchanged the life of the Secret Kill House Leader for this Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, and they want to snatch it from me just for beauty treatment?”

Yu Qingfeng replied, “I never expected the Chairman of the Martial Arts Association to be so shameless, but he holds high authority, and even though I’m not part of the same system, I can’t afford to offend him.

So, I had no choice but to call for you.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Senior Yu, you don’t have to blame yourself.

I understand your predicament.

Since that’s the case, I’ll meet with this Chairman of the Martial Arts Association.

I don’t believe someone of his status would have the audacity to rob someone openly.”

Yu Qingfeng quickly advised, “Chairman Zhu is a Profound Realm Level 9 skillful expert and is not someone ordinary.

Even if he really has no shame and robs you of the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, you mustn’t act rashly.

As long as the green hills are there, you won’t have to worry about firewood.”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Senior, rest assured, I know my own limits.”

Then the two of them entered the restaurant together.

Not long after they entered, a figure emerged from around the corner.

This man appeared thin and weak, with sunken eyes and unkempt beard, giving off the impression of indulging in excesses.

However, unlike the typical indulgent, who seems frail and listless, this man exuded a sense of power and an almost imperceptible sharp aura, clearly not someone easy to provoke.

At that moment, the restaurant’s exterior wall’s large screen was broadcasting news about the recent uproar over a rapist.

The screen showed a photo of the rapist, identical to the man standing at the entrance of the restaurant!

“Dragon’s Whiskers Herb?

This thing is a great tonic.

I’ve been with too many women recently and run myself ragged; I must replenish myself.

Since I’ve encountered this Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, I won’t be polite.”

After murmuring to himself, the man’s figure flashed, and he entered the restaurant.

The restaurant’s lobby attendants acted as if nothing had happened, seemingly not witnessing anyone running inside.

…

Yu Qingfeng led Lu Chuan to a private room.

At this moment, Zhu Cheng’an and Zhu Keyan were sitting at the table, which had a brocade box on it containing the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb.

Yu Qingfeng introduced him: “Chairman Zhu, this is Lu Chuan.”

Zhu Cheng’an glanced at Lu Chuan and then his Transcendent Realm Level 9 aura burst forth, directly targeting Lu Chuan.

Feeling the oppressive force, Lu Chuans’s face changed, and he hastily retreated, his Divine Sense already controlling the Sword Nourishing Gourd and preparing to summon his flying sword.

He stared coldly at Zhu Cheng’an and asked, “What are you doing?”

Zhu Cheng’an displayed a cold smile, withdrew his imposing aura, and said with a smile, “Nothing much.

I’ve heard that you’re quite a figure in Cloud City, so I wanted to test your potential.

The sudden move was also to see your reflexes.

It seems they’re quite good.”

In fact, he was assessing Lu Chuan’s genuine strength, deciding how to treat this young man.

From that brief challenge, he had concluded that Lu Chuan’s strength was about at Transcendent Realm Level 6.

This assured him that Lu Chuan’s killing of the Secret Kill House Leader was nothing but a fluke.

And a junior at Transcendent Realm Level 6 didn’t qualify for polite treatment from him.

Lu Chuan silently looked at Zhu Cheng’an, instinctively ready to use his flying sword to resolve the threat as the situation escalated suddenly.

If it weren’t for a moment’s hesitation to figure out the situation, Zhu Cheng’an would probably already be a corpse by now.

Unaware that he had just had a close call with death, Zhu Cheng’an believed there was nothing to be wary of about this junior and said arrogantly, “I won’t beat around the bush then.

You should know my identity from Senior Yu.

I made a special trip to Cloud City just for this Dragon’s Whiskers Herb.”

“I know the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb was obtained by you through your achievements, so out of respect for you, I had Senior Yu invite you over to talk about this matter in person.”

“I want the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb for my daughter, who really needs it.

As compensation, I am willing to offer you a hundred-year medicinal herb.

If you don’t have any objections, then we’ll consider this settled.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan, full of speechlessness, said, “From your tone, I didn’t detect any respect.

It sounds more like you’re ordering me around.

The value of the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb can’t be matched by ten hundred-year medicinal herbs.

Don’t you think it’s a bit shameless to try to exchange one for my Dragon’s Whiskers Herb?”

Zhu Cheng’an’s expression darkened instantly, and he said coldly, “Kid, I’ve given you a lot of face by calling you here, don’t push your luck!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip, “The shameless ones are you!

I risked my life to kill the Secret Kill House Leader and obtained this Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, and you think I should just hand it over to you, just because?”

Zhu Keyan suddenly slammed the table.

Smack!

The tableware jolted.

“Because my father is the Chairman of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association!”

“The entire Jiangbei martial arts world is under his jurisdiction.

If you want to continue mixing in Jiangbei, then hand over the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb obediently.

Otherwise, you won’t have a good time in the future!”

Lu Chuan turned his head and glanced at Zhu Keyan, sneering, “Since your father is so powerful, why didn’t you just go directly to the Censorate Department Headquarters to snatch the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb?

Why wait until I’ve redeemed the herb with my merits before coming to me for it?

When it comes down to it, you’re just bullies who are actually cowards, having people like you in charge of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association truly shames the martial arts world!”

Zhu Keyan’s chest heaved with rage, her teeth clenched as she glared at Lu Chuan; she so yearned to rush up and tear him to pieces.

Finally, feeling helpless, she turned coquettishly to Zhu Cheng’an: “Dad, you have to do something about him.

Why is this guy so petty over just one herb?

How would it make a difference if he gave it to me?”

Zhu Cheng’an consoled, “My dear daughter, rest assured, I will definitely get the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb for you today for your beauty treatment.”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “A woman like her, without a bit of upbringing—no matter how beautiful she is, she’s nothing but a disaster, just nauseating to people.”

Zhu Keyan immediately cracked, her teeth gritted as she shouted at Lu Chuan, “Who are you calling nauseating!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip, “Whoever lacks upbringing, that’s who’s nauseating!”

Zhu Cheng’an snorted coldly, “Kid, you really think I wouldn’t dare to touch you, huh!”

Lu Chuan chuckled, “If you’re capable, then attack me.

I’d like to see how you, as the Chairman of the Martial Arts Association, use your position to bully a junior!”

Zhu Cheng’an’s aura exploded once again.

Lu Chuan was also ready with his Sword Nourishing Gourd; if the opponent really disregarded their dignity and attacked, he would send this haughty Chairman straight to heaven on the spot, eliminating a scourge from the martial arts world of Jiangbei.

However, Zhu Cheng’an ultimately restrained himself and didn’t make a move against Lu Chuan.

Despite being accustomed to arrogance and domineering behavior because of his status and power, he still cared about his own face in the end.

If he attacked Lu Chuan, once word got out, it would greatly impact his prestige within the Martial Arts Association.

For just one Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, it wasn’t worth getting so serious.

He eyed Lu Chuan, “You’re just being difficult because you want to squeeze some benefits from me as the chairman.

I’ve seen plenty of you profit-seeking youngsters.

Say it, what benefits do you want in exchange for the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb for my daughter?”

Unable to help himself, Lu Chuan burst into loud laughter, “Chairman Zhu really knows how to label people, huh?

Just because I refuse to give you the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, I’m suddenly greedy for profit?”

“Today, I’ll make it clear, no matter what benefits you offer, I will absolutely not give the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb to your daughter!”

Zhu Cheng’an’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, “Are you truly willing to fall out with me over one Dragon’s Whiskers Herb?

Do you know what the consequences will be!”

Lu Chuan, neither humble nor arrogant, said, “It’s not that I want to fall out with you, but that you are overly oppressive.

Chairman Zhu, let me tell you, even a clay Buddha has three points of anger.

If you really push me, I won’t mind helping the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association find a new chairman!”

Zhu Keyan, fuming with anger, “Stop your pretense!

You think you can threaten my dad with your status?

Who do you think you are!”

Lu Chuan gave Zhu Keyan a glance and replied coldly, “It’s said that one’s outward appearance is shaped by the heart.

You were born with a fine appearance, and with the slightest upbringing, you could have been a goddess adored by thousands.

It’s a pity you turned out to be such an unreasonable shrew.

Someone like you, even if you consume more Dragon’s Whiskers Herbs, can’t hide the ugliness inside your heart!”

Zhu Keyan stamped her foot in frustration, unable to come up with a rebuttal to Lu Chuan.

Her gaze then fell upon the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb on the table, and without hesitation, she grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

Lu Chuan hadn’t anticipated she would do something so drastic.

By the time he reacted, Zhu Keyan had already swallowed the herb.

Zhu Cheng’an also hadn’t expected his daughter to pull such a stunt.

After a moment of mild surprise, a look of approval spread across his face.

After eating the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, Zhu Keyan looked triumphantly at Lu Chuan and said, “Whether you wanted to give it or not, I’ve eaten the herb.

What can you do about it?

Just now I agreed to exchange a hundred-year medicinal herb with you, but now I’m not giving you anything.

I bet that pisses you off!”

Lu Chuan was indeed infuriated.

He turned to Zhu Cheng’an and asked, “Chairman Zhu, is this how you teach your daughter?”

A mocking smile appeared on Zhu Cheng’an’s face as he replied, “My daughter simply used an appropriate method to get what she wanted.

It was you who were foolish enough to try to stop her and even insulted her.

Considering I haven’t raised a hand against you, I’d say I have been very polite.”

Veins throbbed on Lu Chuan’s forehead with rage.

Several times he wanted to command his flying sword to kill this shameless father and daughter.

He never imagined there could be people so utterly shameless in this world!

Yu Qingfeng, who was standing by, also felt indignant seeing this scene.

But since the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb had been eaten by Zhu Keyan, dwelling on it was pointless.

He intervened, saying, “Chairman Zhu, that Dragon’s Whiskers Herb was obtained by Lu Chuan after much effort.

Your daughter has eaten it, so the least you could do is compensate him in some way.”

Zhu Cheng’an let out a cold laugh and said, “Just now, this Lu Chuan blatantly provoked me and even called my daughter ill-mannered.

Now that she has eaten his Dragon’s Whiskers Herb, we can consider this matter even.

I will not pursue his actions further.

This is the best compensation he could ask for.”

With a taunting face, Zhu Keyan mocked Lu Chuan, saying proudly, “Na na na na na, my dad’s not going to hold it against you, so just sneak off and be happy about it!”

Lu Chuan’s anger had reached its peak.

He felt that if he didn’t get this frustration out today, it might very well give rise to inner demons.

However, just as he was about to take action, a terrifying presence descended, and he instantly lost the ability to move.

Not just him; Yu Qingfeng, Zhu Keyan, and even Zhu Cheng’an found themselves paralyzed, their faces turning into masks of horror.

A figure then appeared in the private room, the same man who seemed to indulge in excesses.

Seeing this man, Lu Chuan’s pupils shrank.

He recognized him from the news as the notorious rapist who’d been causing such an uproar recently.

What shocked him wasn’t the man’s identity as a rapist, but the overwhelming pressure he emitted.

He had only ever felt such a terrifying sensation from the Great Elder.

He therefore instantly deduced: this rapist was a Profound Realm skillful expert!

The man looked around the room calmly and then asked, “Where is the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb?”
