Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 223 - 223 214 I Can't Possibly Sympathize with You_1

223: Chapter 214 I Can’t Possibly Sympathize with You_1 223: Chapter 214 I Can’t Possibly Sympathize with You_1 Zou Baicheng was also stunned by the scene in the room, unable to tear his eyes away.

Chiang Feng hadn’t expected anyone to dare to push her door open at this time, and, frightened, she quickly withdrew her hand, covered her body with the blanket, and scolded, “Who let you open the door, close it for me!”

Only then did Zou Baicheng come to his senses and hurriedly closed the door again.

He looked at Lu Chuan with an embarrassed face and said, “This couldn’t possibly be some kind of performance, the one inside is Zhu Cheng’an’s wife, Chiang Feng.

I never imagined she would be doing this sort of thing in broad daylight, what a disgrace.”

Lu Chuan glanced around and asked, “Who is this Zhou guy she’s calling for?”

Zou Baicheng immediately whispered, “This actually has something to do with the grievances between you, Chairman Lu, and Zhu Cheng’an, of course, this is just what I’ve heard from others.”

He then spoke of the incident where Zhou Kun came here and took Chiang Feng to Zhu Cheng’an’s bedroom to stay for the night.

Lu Chuan’s face showed surprise, “So, the Zhou guy she was calling for was Zhou Kun?”

Zou Baicheng nodded, “It should be.”

Lu Chuan clicked his tongue in wonder and thought to himself that Zhou Kun really was ruthless, turning Zhu Cheng’an’s wife into such a state in just one night, wondering how aggressive he must be.

Soon, the door of the room opened.

Chiang Feng, now draped in a long robe, walked out with her arms wrapped around her chest.

With anger on her face and the flush on her cheeks yet to fade, she came out and cursed loudly, “You two must have the gall of a bear and a leopard to come over here peeping at me!”

Her gaze fell on Lu Chuan, and she paused for a moment, then asked, “You are…

Lu Chuan?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to recognize me.”

Chiang Feng immediately clenched her teeth and said, “How could I not recognize you?

If not for you, how could my daughter end up like that!

I dream of killing you!”

Lu Chuan laughed out loud and said, “Don’t slander people, the one who made your daughter end up like that was your Zhou guy, it has nothing to do with me.”

Chiang Feng’s expression darkened, “Don’t you dare talk about Zhou guy!

It was because of you that Zhou guy was forced to do that!”

Lu Chuan was speechless, “It looks like you’ve really been brainwashed, to the point where you can’t even tell right from wrong anymore.”

Chiang Feng snorted coldly and said, “I don’t need you to tell me if I can distinguish right from wrong.

Since you dared to come directly to the Martial Arts Association, don’t even think about leaving.

I’m calling my husband over to take care of you!”

Having said this, she turned to Zou Baicheng and said, “Go get my husband!”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Chiang Feng, puzzled, glared at Lu Chuan and said, “What are you laughing about?

Wait until my husband comes, then see if you can still laugh!”

Lu Chuan said, “He can’t come anymore, he has died by my hand.”

Chiang Feng’s complexion changed, and she questioned, “Do you think I’m a fool?

My husband is the chairman of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association, a Transcendent Realm Level 9 skillful expert.

How could he possibly die by your hand!”

Zou Baicheng on the side sighed and said, “What he says is true.

Today was the day of the chairman’s tenure renewal, and Lu Chuan won the challenge against your husband, becoming the new chairman.

But, he didn’t control his power well and ended up killing your husband.”

Upon hearing this, Chiang Feng was completely dumbfounded, and her legs weakened, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

“How…

how is this possible!”

“My husband is dead…

am I no longer the chairman’s wife?”

Zou Baicheng said, “We came here to inform you to quickly pack up with your daughter and move out of here.

From now on, this will be Chairman Lu’s residence.”

Chiang Feng was dazed and found it hard to accept this reality.

She looked at Lu Chuan with a face full of resentment, raising her claws as if to attack, “You son of a bitch, bring back my husband’s life!”

Zou Baicheng hurriedly blocked her and said, “In martial contests, injuries and deaths are to be expected, this matter can’t be blamed on Chairman Lu.

Don’t make a scene for no reason, just quickly pack up and leave with your daughter.”

Chiang Feng’s face was filled with despair, and she sat down on the floor and started crying.

“I am just a weak woman, where can you expect me to live after I leave here?

Moreover, my daughter is now barely different from a cripple.

If I take her away, many people will target us, and we might end up as playthings for those with malicious intentions.

Do you really have the heart to let us mother and daughter fall to such a state?”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said, “All of this started because your daughter was unreasonable and stole my Dragon’s Whiskers Herb.

You could say this is her retribution, as well as yours.”

“Whatever situation you and your daughter face is none of my concern, and you don’t need to act pitiful here.

I cannot have any sympathy for you.”

Chiang Feng looked around with her eyes, and then kneeled in front of Lu Chuan, looking at him with a plea, “Lu Chuan, please give me and my daughter a chance, if you are willing to take us in…

I…

I’ll let you do anything you want with me.

As long as you protect us, I’ll satisfy any demand, no matter how perverted.”

“If that’s still not enough, I…

I and my daughter can both serve you, wouldn’t that be enough?”

Having said this, she kneed her way to Lu Chuan, hugged his thigh, and looked up, begging, “Lu Chuan, Daddy, Master, please…”

Lu Chuan’s skin crawled, and he kicked Chiang Feng away with one foot, saying, “You don’t find this dirty, but I do.

Take your daughter and get out of here, and never let me see you again.

You disgust me!”

Zou Baicheng quickly shouted, “Someone!

Throw her out!

And while you’re at it, go to that courtyard and throw her daughter out too!”

Several people from the Martial Arts Association immediately came over and dragged Chiang Feng out.

Chiang Feng pleaded with a face full of sorrow, “Lu Chuan, please, a mere mouthful of food for my daughter and me would be enough.”

Before long, the sound of Chiang Feng’s crying and begging dissipated, and Lu Chuan finally felt a bit of quiet around his ears.

He glanced at Zou Baicheng and said, “Get someone to clean this room and Zhu Keyan’s room as well, they are probably quite dirty.

Use them as storage rooms from now on.”

“Yes!” Zou Baicheng immediately agreed.

…

The chairman’s office.

Lu Chuan sat in front of his desk, looking at the stacks of papers on it, feeling a headache coming on.

Zou Baicheng, accompanied by a few senior members of the Martial Arts Association, stood in front of the desk and said with a smile, “Chairman Lu, here are some of the association’s important documents, many of which haven’t been dealt with yet.

We need Chairman Lu to approve these.”

Lu Chuan thought to himself that he was just a delivery man before, how could he know how to approve documents—this was practically a death sentence.

He turned his eyes around and then stood up, saying, “Vice-Chairman Zou, colleagues, although I’ve just taken office, I really should handle the affairs of the association.

However, I have a very important matter to attend to right now and must leave for the Island Country immediately; I’ve even bought my ticket.”

“Therefore, I now officially appoint Vice-Chairman Zou as acting chairman in my stead to deal with the related affairs of the association.

This is not negligence on my part, as only after my matter is resolved can I better contribute to building our association, right?”

“Alright, that’s settled then.

I must be going now.

Chairman Zou, the association relies on you during my absence.”

Having said that, he planned to make his getaway.

Seeing this, Zou Baicheng grabbed hold of Lu Chuan and said, “Chairman Lu, you can’t just shirk your responsibilities like this.

You’ve just taken office; at the very least you should solve some issues for the association so that people can trust you.”

“You may not want to approve these documents, but among all the martial arts associations, our Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association has always been at the bottom.

At the very least, other martial arts associations have Profound Realm skillful experts in charge.

We’d be burning incense in gratitude if we could have just one Transcendent Realm Level 9.”

“Moreover, those apprentices below are the worst in all the provinces.

At the very least, think of a way to change the current situation of our association, otherwise, in a few years, our Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association will be delisted by the headquarters!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan said with a surprised face, “Is our Jiangbei martial arts really that poor?”

Zou Baicheng nodded, “Isn’t it just?

Zhu Cheng’an sat in this seat before and only knew how to enjoy himself and be greedy for money.

Whenever he received any resources, he swallowed them all.

We dared not speak out and were hoping that you, as the new chairman, could change this situation.”

After hearing his words, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, “Such a situation is the result of long-term accumulated problems; it definitely cannot be changed overnight.”

“How about this, I will write you a prescription.”

Having said that, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a pharmacy prescription, handing it over to Zou Baicheng.

“Get these herbs according to the prescription, grind them into powder, and let the apprentices drink it with water, one cup a day.

It helps to clear the meridians and improve the efficiency of Inner Strength circulation.

Over time, their constitutions will improve, and we will then be able to cultivate some martial arts geniuses.”

“Of course, this prescription will also be effective for you.

After drinking it for a while, breaking through bottlenecks should be no problem.”

“Alright, I have given you the first step in changing the state of the Martial Arts Association.

You start by doing as I said.

When I come back from the Island Country, we can think of other methods.

I promise not to disappoint you.”

Having said that, he promptly bolted.

Zou Baicheng wanted to stop him but couldn’t.

He looked at the prescription in his hand and shook his head helplessly, “It seems our new chairman isn’t all that reliable.”

The others all sighed.

“This kid is young and rash, truly unsuited to be the chairman.

Having him as chairman is even worse than having Zhu Cheng’an.”

“Exactly, he clearly doesn’t want to manage affairs, yet he writes a prescription claiming it can improve physique.

If it were that easy to change one’s physique, the martial arts world would be full of geniuses long ago.”

“I think he just made up an excuse to fob us off.

We better not hold out hope.”

…

After complaining, the group dispersed.

Zou Baicheng, looking at the prescription in his hand, felt somewhat helpless.

The decline of martial arts in Jiangbei was indeed significantly related to the region and physique, coupled with the scarcity of resources allocated by the headquarters, most of which were swallowed by Zhu Cheng’an, making it even harder to cultivate any geniuses.

Over the years, he and other senior members of the association had thought about ways to improve the physique of the apprentices, but such things are not so easily changed.

“However, the herbs in this prescription that Lu Chuan wrote down are not expensive.

Whether it works or not, I might as well buy them and give it a try.”

Afternoon.

A few senior members of the Martial Arts Association came to discuss matters with Zou Baicheng once more.

As they entered Zou Baicheng’s office, they saw him sitting at the desk, grinding some herbs.

One person went to have a look and said with a laugh, “You really took that kid Lu Chuan’s word for it?”

Zou Baicheng smiled and replied, “Trying it won’t cost much, and what if it works?”

The man laughed and said, “What if he wrote it randomly?

If you end up with diarrhea after drinking it, don’t blame us for not warning you.”

Zou Baicheng said with a laugh, “After all, I am a Transcendent Realm Level 8.

If I were to get diarrhea from this little thing, it would be too embarrassing for a Transcendent Realm warrior.”

As he spoke, he poured the powdered medicine into a cup and added water.

The few people watched Zou Baicheng, ready to see his blunder.

Zou Baicheng stared at the water in the cup for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy.

However, with several people watching, it would not look good to back out, so he picked up the cup and drank all the water inside.

A warm flow emerged within his body, and the bottleneck he had been stuck at for years seemed to loosen.

He instantly froze in place.

The people around him looked at him curiously, one asking, “What’s wrong?

You’re not poisoned, are you?”

Zou Baicheng ignored them and hurriedly drank the remaining powdered medicine mixed with water.

Once he confirmed that the feeling of the bottleneck loosening in his body was not an illusion, Zou Baicheng’s face flushed with excitement.

He danced around, addressing the other high-ranking officials in the room and exclaimed excitedly, “Our new chairman really is a miracle worker!”
