Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 481 - 481 451 Reward You Well_1

481: Chapter 451: Reward You Well_1 481: Chapter 451: Reward You Well_1 Zhu Keren didn’t expect Lu Chuan to agree, and an anxious look appeared on her face as she said, “Although this guy is really annoying, his strength is indeed universally acknowledged.

You’re no match for him.

Don’t be provoked by his ridicule.

By agreeing to fight him, you’re playing right into his hands!”

Lu Chuan smiled at Zhu Keren, signaling her not to worry, “Relax, during the month I was missing, I also learned some martial arts techniques.

He may not necessarily be my opponent.”

Then he walked towards the center of the courtyard.

Zhu Keren stared at Lu Chuan in a daze, at a loss for whether she should persuade him.

“I should believe in him…

right?” she asked herself, before deciding to trust Lu Chuan and stayed silent.

No one expected Lu Chuan to accept Zhu Shaolei’s challenge, as they all had amused smiles on their faces.

“Chu Feng’s been missing for over a month and he’s grown a lot bolder, daring to accept Zhu Shaolei’s challenge.

Has he forgotten about being beaten so badly last year that he ended up in the hospital?”

“While that jade remnant did indeed amaze all of us, surely Chu Feng doesn’t think that this qualifies him to fight with Shao Lei?

Shao Lei is a Transcendent Realm skillful expert after all.

If things get serious, he might not even be able to save his own life.”

“Who cares, we’re just here to watch the excitement.

It’s only exciting if someone actually gets killed.”

…

Seeing that Lu Chuan had accepted his challenge, Zhu Shaolei revealed an excited smile and muttered, “This idiot is still as clueless about life and death as ever.”

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, “Last time, even though you were the first to make a move, I couldn’t go all out in front of grandma, but this time it’s different.

This is a proper sparring match, and it’s normal to break an arm or a leg in the process.

Even grandma won’t be able to say anything since you agreed to this sparring match yourself.”

“Just you wait, today you have caused me such great embarrassment; I must have my revenge!”

Lu Chuan approached Zhu Shaolei.

Zhu Shaolei snorted coldly and said, “I really admire your courage today, but let me remind you, punches and kicks don’t have eyes.

If I hurt you during the sparring, don’t blame me!”

Then he looked around at the others and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please make some space for our sparring, so nobody gets hurt later!”

Everyone immediately moved the tables aside and stood back, making enough space for Lu Chuan and Zhu Shaolei to spar.

Zhu Shaolei was brimming with excitement.

He had been longing to beat up Chu Feng not just for a day or two.

Now that he finally had the chance, he naturally wouldn’t let it slip by.

Without any hesitation, he dashed towards Lu Chuan.

“Take this!”

Lu Chuan watched Zhu Shaolei’s movements, feeling as if they were as slow as a turtle’s crawl.

If he wanted, he could take him down with just one move.

But considering he was currently posing as Chu Feng, displaying strength that the Zhu family couldn’t understand would only invite suspicion.

Thus, he suppressed his own realm down to the Transcendent Realm and moved to meet Zhu Shaolei.

Even with their realms equal, Lu Chuan deliberately suppressed his power to the same level as Zhu Shaolei.

In Lu Chuan’s eyes, Zhu Shaolei’s strength still counted for nothing.

After exchanging a few blows with Zhu Shaolei, Lu Chuan felt bored, as he could easily predict every move Zhu Shaolei wanted to make.

In his view, Zhu Shaolei was practically full of openings, and it would take only a slight focus to bring him down immediately, without the need to waste time continuing the fight.

To avoid causing too much of a reaction from the Zhu family, he held back the urge to take down Zhu Shaolei and symbolically sparred with him for dozens of moves.

On the contrary, Zhu Shaolei’s shock was beyond measure.

He couldn’t understand how that good-for-nothing Chu Feng could so easily counter his moves.

Despite expending all his strength, he couldn’t gain any advantage over his opponent, which made him start to doubt his own abilities.

Not just him, but also the onlooking members of the Zhu family were visibly astonished.

After all, Zhu Shaolei was a Martial Path genius of the Zhu family, and one of the most outstanding among Hibiscus City’s younger generation.

Yet, Chu Feng was now able to fight him to a standstill, which was unexpected.

After symbolically exchanging over a hundred moves with Zhu Shaolei, Lu Chuan felt there was no need to keep up the act.

Seizing an opening, he threw a punch directly at Zhu Shaolei’s face.

Zhu Shaolei was completely unable to dodge and was stunned by Lu Chuan’s punch.

Not giving Zhu Shaolei any time to react, Lu Chuan continued closing in to unleash a merciless beating on him.

Although he wasn’t Chu Feng, he could have ignored these grievances and grudges, but considering he still needed to get the jade remnant from Zhu Keren’s hands, he naturally had to find a way to win over Zhu Keren’s favor.

That’s why he agreed to Zhu Shaolei’s challenge, and beating up this guy now could be seen as taking out Zhu Keren’s anger.

In a short while, Zhu Shaolei was beaten by Lu Chuan into a pig-headed mess, and quickly started begging for mercy, “I…

I admit defeat, stop hitting me, if you keep this up, I’ll be beaten to death by you!”

It was then that Lu Chuan stopped, smiling as he said, “I told you that indulging in desires is not good for you.

Now you know it’s serious, don’t you?

Look, you can’t even beat me.

You should really learn to control yourself.”

After speaking, he sat back down next to Zhu Keren.

Zhu Keren stared at Lu Chuan with big eyes and sincerely said, “You’re so amazing…”

Lu Chuan cleared his throat twice, “Keep it down, you’ll make me blush with more compliments.”

Zhu Keren let out a laugh and playfully hit Lu Chuan.

Old Mrs.

Zhu didn’t care at all about Zhu Shaolei being beaten into a pig’s head; instead, she praised Lu Chuan greatly, saying that the Zhu family had misunderstood Chu Feng in the past.

She never expected Chu Feng to be so formidable, which was a great surprise to her.

In her happiness, she directly awarded ten percent of the Zhu family shares to Zhu Keren and her husband Lu Chuan.

This clearly indicated that the old lady had made up her mind, and it was highly likely that in the future, Zhu Keren would be in charge of the Zhu family.

The entire Zhu family instantly changed their attitude towards Zhu Keren, shifting from rejection to ingratiating themselves, all of them putting on forced smiles.

The birthday feast continued in a joyous atmosphere, while Zhu Shaolei, who had been beaten into a pig-headed mess, could only hide in a corner and silently cry.

He could never have imagined that today’s birthday celebration would completely destroy his chances of taking over the Zhu family.

Had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have troubled Zhu Keren and Lu Chuan for the world.

After a long time, the dinner ended, and the guests began to depart.

After chatting with Old Mrs.

Zhu, Zhu Keren left with Lu Chuan towards the exit of the Zhu family’s old mansion.

At the door, she suddenly said, “Come with me to a place, will you?”

Lu Chuan nodded and followed Zhu Keren out of the Zhu family’s old mansion.

Soon after, the two arrived at the rooftop of a tall building.

The moon was bright overhead, and stars twinkled in the sky.

A gentle breeze blew across the rooftop, quite delightful.

Zhu Keren led Lu Chuan to sit at the edge of the building and, gazing at the moon, said with much emotion, “Do you remember the story that happened here?”

Lu Chuan felt a bit awkward and, pushing through, said, “I remember…

of course…”

Zhu Keren laughed and didn’t ask Lu Chuan what had happened here in the past; instead, she started to recount the story herself.

As Lu Chuan listened quietly to Zhu Keren’s narrative, he learned that this was where she first met Chu Feng.

At that time, she was suffering from severe depression and came here intending to jump off the building but was saved by Chu Feng who had come to the rooftop to clear his head.

Lu Chuan finally understood why the worthless Chu Feng had won Zhu Keren’s favor.

If not for Chu Feng’s guidance during that period, she might have left this world long ago.

Zhu Keren spoke with great emotion, and Lu Chuan found himself envious of Chu Feng, even feeling the impulse to keep pretending to be Chu Feng and to be Zhu Keren’s husband forever.

After a long time, Zhu Keren took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Lu Chuan, her eyes crescent-shaped, and said, “You gave me a big surprise today, not only helping me vent but also winning my grandmother’s approval.

Shouldn’t I properly reward you?”

Lu Chuan asked, “Reward me with what?”

Zhu Keren threw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms, cheeks flushed, and said, “Didn’t you say I have hormonal imbalances?

Then I’ll reward you with helping me ‘treat’ my body.”

Lu Chuan’s body tensed up instantly, speaking stiffly, “Here?

This isn’t too appropriate.”

Zhu Keren lifted her head and glanced at Lu Chuan with rosy cheeks, saying, “What’s there to be afraid of?

No one will come here anyway, and you haven’t seen me for so long, don’t you want me?”
