Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 418 - 418 399 Turning Black and White_1

418: Chapter 399: Turning Black and White_1 418: Chapter 399: Turning Black and White_1 Lu Chuan was in the midst of his cultivation and didn’t hear a word Cheng Yao said, so he didn’t respond to her.

Seeing that Lu Chuan showed no reaction to her beautiful and charming voice, Cheng Yao was utterly speechless, convinced that this guy was feigning indifference on purpose, intending to play hard to get to catch her attention.

Suppressing her disdain, she reached out and nudged Lu Chuan, saying, “Hey, handsome, can you hear me speaking?”

Only then did Lu Chuan open his eyes, glanced at Cheng Yao, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

He’s pretending pretty well…

Cheng Yao thought to herself, still putting on a ladylike appearance, “I’m getting a bit tired of standing.

Could you give up your seat for me?”

Lu Chuan’s legs were still a bit weak, and seeing her youthful, vibrant look, which did not meet his standards for giving up his seat, he said, “Sorry, I’m a bit tired too.

You should look for another spot.”

Cheng Yao’s eyes instantly widened, thinking, this guy sees how pretty I am and still won’t give up his seat for me, what does he mean by that?

Do losers have so much backbone these days?

She couldn’t bear a loser refusing to give up his seat to her; after all, in the past, men would be dying to kiss her feet.

She was a princess adored by everyone; how could she tolerate such an insult?

So she dropped the ladylike act, looking at Lu Chuan with contempt, “Why are you being so petty?

What’s wrong with giving up your seat for me?

As a man, shouldn’t you give way to a young lady like me?”

At that, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “All the seats here are public, first-come, first-served, and I don’t have a duty to give up my seat to you, do I?

Besides, I only give up my seat for the elderly, the disabled, the ill, and the pregnant.

Which category do you fall into?”

Cheng Yao was lost for words, “But I’m a girl.

Even if I’m not elderly, disabled, ill, or pregnant, you should still give in to me!”

Lu Chuan replied, “Sorry, I’ve never heard such a rule.

You should go find someone else.”

Cheng Yao huffed, “I get it now.

You just want to appear different and catch my attention, don’t you?

Is it okay if I let you add me on WeChat then?”

Lu Chuan was somewhat speechless, “I’m not interested in you.

Please keep your distance and don’t disturb my rest.”

Realizing that Lu Chuan genuinely didn’t want to deal with her, Cheng Yao was immediately enraged and decided to butt heads with this guy today.

She had to show this ungrateful jerk just how formidable she was!

With a cold face, she looked at Lu Chuan, “Let me tell you, I’m an internet celebrity with ten million fans online.

You better give up the seat for me, or else I’ll post about you online and cyberbully you!”

Lu Chuan smirked, “Suit yourself.”

Cheng Yao, seeing that Lu Chuan was utterly unafraid of her threat, felt defeated once again.

It’s the internet era now, and the power of cyberbullying is terrifying.

This guy doesn’t seem to care at all; does he not use the internet regularly?

Seeing that this approach was ineffective, she changed her tactic, “Hey, aside from being an internet celebrity, I am also the ambassador for the recent gender equality campaign.

Your behavior right now is seriously undermining gender equality.

If I report you, just wait for the public condemnation!”

Unable to hold back, Lu Chuan sneered, “Gender equality?

If it’s truly about equality, why should I give up my seat for you instead of you giving up your seat for me?”

Cheng Yao said, “Because I’m a girl!

You men should be accommodating us!”

Lu Chuan said, “Is that what you call equality?

I think you just want to use the guise of equality to secure advantages for yourself.

You emphasize equality when it benefits you, but when there’s trouble, you become the weaker party that men should accommodate.

What kind of equality is that?”

With her true motives exposed, Cheng Yao became angry and defensive, shouting, “I’ll have you know, my uncle is a high-ranking official at the Capital City’s Censorate Department.

If you offend me, I assure you that you won’t get away with it!”

Lu Chuan’s face showed indifference, “Even if your uncle is the ruler of heaven, there’s nothing wrong with me not giving up my seat for you.

I’d like to see what you can do about it!”

Having said that, he crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to this unreasonable woman.

Seeing that Lu Chuan was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, Cheng Yao was utterly out of options and stomped her feet in anger.

“Forcing me, huh?

Fine, I’ll let you see who’s in charge in the internet age!”

She cursed under her breath, took out her phone, and recorded a video of Lu Chuan, then edited the footage briefly and added a voiceover: “Guys, what’s going on?

When I went to fly, I encountered a creep.

It’s bad enough he stalked me, but he also stole my seat, so disgusting!”

After finalizing the video, she quickly uploaded it to her short video account.

In just ten minutes, she received a flood of likes, and the comments section was filled with insults directed at Lu Chuan’s lack of shame.

One comment read: “Brothers in Capital City, this despicable man dared to steal our baby’s seat.

It’s outrageous.

We need to teach him a lesson.

How about we go to the airport and block him, make him apologize to our baby in public?”

This comment was instantly upvoted to the top, and many of her fans from Capital City agreed to go to the airport to confront Lu Chuan.

Seeing this comment, Cheng Yao immediately felt thrilled and added all the fans who proposed to block Lu Chuan at the airport into a group, then shared her flight details with them.

“Family, it’s such a bad day.

I’ve encountered such a horrendous man.

He’s taken my seat and even threatened to hit me.

I’m so scared, and as a weak girl, I don’t dare to argue with him, I can only vent on the internet,” Cheng Yao, feigning a pathetic image, recorded another video and shared it in the group.

The fans in the group, upon seeing Cheng Yao so aggrieved, were instantly riled up, and immediately started planning the trip to the airport to confront Lu Chuan.

“Baby, don’t be afraid, we’re going to the airport to block him, and we’ll definitely get justice for you!”

“That’s right, in broad daylight, someone dared to blatantly rob our baby’s seat, there’s no law anymore, he must be taught a lesson!”

“Baby, rest assured, once we corner him, we’ll make him kneel and apologize to you; then we’ll record it and post it online to see if he ever dares to do such a heartless thing again!”

…

Cheng Yao watched everyone’s discussion with anticipation.

After sending a heart emoji to the group, she didn’t say anything else.

She glanced at Lu Chuan with a smug look on her face, thinking to herself just wait to be dealt with, you’re nowhere near my league!

Before long, everyone went through check-in and boarded the plane, heading toward Capital City.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Capital City Airport.

Lu Chuan walked out of the terminal, planning to first visit the Luo family to test the waters and see what their attitude was toward him and to inquire if the Soul Herb was still in the Luo family’s possession.

Cheng Yao quietly followed behind Lu Chuan, waiting to see her fans block and teach him a lesson.

Meanwhile, at the airport exit, Feng Yuanshan was leading a group of high-level officials and elites from Capital City’s Censorate Department, waiting for Lu Chuan.

To show the importance of Lu Chuan, Feng Yuanshan had everyone dress in the Censorate Department’s uniform to highlight the formality.

“Once Lu Chuan comes out, we must make him feel the warmth and importance we in the Censorate Department place on him.

Only by doing so can we gain his favor.

The higher his regard for our Censorate Department, the higher the possibility that he will join us.

Is that clear to everyone?” Feng Yuanshan said.

All nodded in unison, understanding the significance of welcoming Lu Chuan this time.

In the very back of the group stood a middle-aged man who, as part of the Censorate Department’s middle management, wouldn’t normally have been there.

It was only because Feng Yuanshan had called for a grand reception that he was present.

This man was named Cheng Zhidong, Cheng Yao’s uncle.

At the moment, Cheng Zhidong was still unaware of the dignitary they were to welcome, someone significant enough to mobilize the entire high-level staff of the Censorate Department.

He quietly asked the person next to him, “Who exactly are we welcoming this time that even the Chief has led all the higher-ups of the Censorate Department?

This person must be quite influential, right?”

The person next to him replied, “I’m not exactly sure, either.

I just know he’s someone very impressive, valued highly by the Chief.

Plus, I’ve heard he’s only in his twenties but incredibly young.”

Cheng Zhidong, full of surprise, said, “Only in his twenties?

And he’s garnered such high regard from the Chief?

Could it be that this man has a terrifying background?”

“It’s not that,” said the person next to him.

“Apparently, this young man has no background at all.

The reason he’s so highly valued is because his capabilities are terrifying.

It’s said that even the Chief isn’t sure if he could be a match for him now, which is why he’s given such attention.

Our purpose in welcoming him is to persuade him to join the Censorate Department.

If he truly agrees, the moment he joins, he might stand on equal footing with the Chief.

That’s something we can’t even dream of in our lifetimes!”

Cheng Zhidong’s face showed unmistakable envy as he said, “It really is infuriating to compare with others.

He’s so young too; I wonder if he’s married yet.

If he hasn’t, perhaps my niece could give it a shot.

After all, she’s quite pretty.

If he took a fancy to her, that would be the Luo family rising to the heavens.”

The person next to him laughed and said, “Don’t even dream of such good fortune.

If there were such an opportunity, it wouldn’t go to your niece.”

Cheng Zhidong said, “Although I know my niece isn’t a match for such a person, it doesn’t hurt to dream.

Who can’t enjoy a daydream now and then?”

Not far off, another group of people had gathered, Cheng Yao’s fans who wanted to come and give Lu Chuan a lesson.

Feng Yuanshan saw these people and asked his secretary, “Who are they?”

The secretary said, “I just asked, they’re the fans of some internet celebrity who came to the airport probably to chase stars.

No big deal.”

Feng Yuanshan nodded and said, “These days, people can be quite crazy about chasing stars.

Keep a close watch on them and make sure they don’t interfere with our welcoming of Lu Chuan.”

“Yes,” the secretary nodded.

On the other hand, Cheng Yao’s group of fans was also curiously looking over at the people from the Censorate Department.

“Are all those people from the Censorate Department?

They have so many people here waiting; are they welcoming some big shot?”

“Definitely a big shot.

That man standing in the middle over there looks like the Chief of the Censorate Department.

For the Chief to personally show up for the welcome, it must be someone extraordinary!”

“Damn, I’m so envious.

When will I ever receive such treatment?

Then I’d have made my ancestors proud.”

“Forget it, even if your family’s ancestral tomb was smoking, you still wouldn’t get such treatment.”

…

A man named Dashan, leading the group of fans, spoke, “Alright, let’s stop envying others and go teach that bastard who bullied Yaoyao a lesson.”

“Since the Censorate Department’s people are over there, it’s not wise to make a move.

Let’s trap that jerk inside and make him kneel and apologize to Yaoyao!”

The group headed deeper into the airport.
