I Don't Understand

The God of War, Long Aotian, genuinely wanted to make a move.

This was his chance to show off his strength!

But that damned Lu Chengwen—why... why wasn't he trying to show off in front of him?

He was pulling and dragging, single-handedly holding back more than a dozen subordinates, working himself into a sweat. Was that really necessary?

Let them come over already, I'm begging you!

I'm dying for this batch of experience points!

If I don't farm some today, I won't be able to wrap things up properly!

Lu Chengwen had made up his mind as well.

No matter what, I can't let you farm experience points! No, no, not today!

In the future, you can be heaven, you can be god—whatever you say goes. I won't argue with you.

If you can take Leng Qingqiu away, then take her away. If you can't, that's your own damn problem. Just don't drag me into this!

Long Aotian was nearly going mad.

"Um... Young Master Lu, do you have a problem with me?"

Lu Chengwen finally managed to calm everyone down. He spread his arms and blocked the group of bodyguards.

"No, no! I'm perfectly happy, I'm over the moon! I think you and Qingqiu are a great match. Send me an invitation when you get married, and I'll bring a gift!"

With nowhere to vent all the strength in his body, Long Aotian paced in frantic circles.

"How about... you let them come over? They're standing up for you, after all."

"No, no, no. Rest assured, as long as I'm here today, not a single one of them is getting through!"

Lu Chengwen turned around and shouted at the bodyguards, "Whoever moves, I'll kill him!"

Leng Qingqiu understood now. It seemed Lu Chengwen really could foresee certain things in the future.

And the entire situation had taken on a completely different flavor.

Now, it looked as though Lu Chengwen sincerely wanted to settle things peacefully, while Long Aotian seemed determined to make a bigger scene.

Leng Qingqiu had already seen through Long Aotian's fake facade. She said furiously, "Long Aotian, enough! Get out! Get out right now, or I'm calling the police!"

Long Aotian's face turned livid.

I am the God of War, returned in glory. No one in the entire borderlands had ever dared humiliate me like this.

And yet today, I had suffered such humiliation!

"Fine! I'll leave. But Qingqiu, please believe me. No matter when, no matter where, no matter what danger you face in the future, I will stand up for you—even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world!"

Suppressing her disgust, Leng Qingqiu raised a hand and pointed. "Get out."

Long Aotian had nothing more to say.

His face was almost black as he turned around and glared viciously at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen felt like crying without tears. He cautiously said, "It really wasn't my fault. I also... don't understand what happened. You... must be holding it in pretty hard, huh?"

Long Aotian snorted and left with a dark expression.

Lu Chengwen nearly threw up in the restroom.

After several previous rounds of transmigration, he had summarized the three iron laws of a Villain's survival.

First, never show off or argue with the protagonist. That was absolutely the fastest route to death.

What kind of person was the protagonist? Did he look like someone who could tolerate you showing off in front of him? Even if you didn't show off, he would still want to beat you up. If you did show off... he would beat you to death.

Second, never touch the protagonist's women. Stay as far away from them as possible. Those brain-dead women were all poisonous. When the protagonist killed you, they would only clap and praise him for being brave and invincible, then throw themselves into his arms.

Third, absolutely never do bad things.

If the protagonist caught you doing something bad, hehe, congratulations—you hit the jackpot. You would become the protagonist's experience pack, contributing your tiny share to his grand career of showing off.

Ding-dong!

System prompt:

"Dear! Congratulations, Host, on completing the preliminary survival test phase! Difficulty rating: one star! We have prepared the first-stage reward for you, dear!"

Lu Chengwen asked, "What's the reward?"

"Dear, you will be rewarded with a sports car!"

Lu Chengwen's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? I'm the eldest son of the Lu Family, the foremost of Xue City's Four Great Families, and a rich man who runs the Lufeng Group! I barely escaped with my life from that beast Long Aotian, and you reward me with a luxury car?"

"Host, please don't get worked up. This luxury car is no ordinary car, dear!"

"What's so special about it?!" Lu Chengwen shouted.

"This sports car has a full four wheels, dear!"

"You mother—"

Lu Chengwen suppressed his anger. "What's going on with that dead girl Leng Qingqiu? According to the plot, wasn't she supposed to leave with the God of War? What is this supposed to be now?"

"We do not currently understand Qingqiu's situation. If you wish to learn more, please take the initiative to speak with her, dear."

"Speak with her my ass! The look in Long Aotian's eyes just now was practically saying he wanted to strangle me to death!" Lu Chengwen was about to lose his mind.

After throwing his tantrum, Lu Chengwen immediately cowered again. "Please, think of a way to get them reunited quickly. At this rate, you people are going to play me to death sooner or later!"

"Host, please do not worry. The feedback we have received is that we do indeed wish to play you to death, dear!"

"Your uncle—!"

Inside Lu Guanghong's study.

Lu Guanghong wore a stern expression. "Sit."

Lu Chengwen sat down nervously.

"Go on. What happened? What bad idea are you holding back this time?"

"Nothing." Lu Chengwen was completely baffled.

"Hmph! You think you can fool me? Would I not know what sort of person you are?" Lu Guanghong said authoritatively. "Listen to me! You'd better straighten yourself out and treat Qingqiu well, or I won't let you off."

Lu Chengwen said, "She won't marry me. Everyone in Xue City knows how much she hates me."

"Then why did she suddenly make a complete turnaround today and agree to the marriage alliance?"

"I really don't know! I'm wondering about that too!"

"Then why did you suddenly put on airs and decide you don't want the marriage alliance?"

"I... have great love in my heart!"

Lu Guanghong narrowed his eyes. "You really are becoming more and more shameless."

Lu Chengwen was so depressed that he could not even be bothered to speak.

"Bring a gift. You're going to visit your god-grandfather in a while."

Lu Chengwen froze. "My god-grandfather?"

Oh, right.

The basic setup of This Book:

Xue City had four great families: the Lu, Chen, Xu, and Leng Families.

Of them, the Lu Family was the strongest, followed by the Chen and Xu Families. The Leng Family had nearly gone bankrupt as a whole due to poor management in recent years.

Fortunately, Leng Qingqiu took over amid adversity. After two years of hard work, she turned losses into profits and stabilized the Leng Family's foundation, preventing total bankruptcy.

That was why the Leng Family was very eager for the marriage alliance.

It was not that the Leng Family did not know about Lu Chengwen's character, but the only family in Xue City capable of and willing to save the Leng Family was the Lu Family.

So, for the sake of the family's interests, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage alliance.

Deep down, they actually looked down on Lu Chengwen.

That was what was so damned about This Book.

My Villain setup was practically perfect: tall, handsome, born into wealth, successful at a young age, brilliant and talented. I led the Lufeng Group through countless obstacles and dominated the business world.

But despite being a man at the top of humanity's food chain in the real world, I was actually the Main Heroine Leng Qingqiu's lapdog.

Everything existed solely to make it more satisfying when the protagonist stepped on me.

The more outstanding the Villain was, the better it felt when the protagonist beat him up!

For Leng Qingqiu's sake, I relied on my powerful background to show off before the protagonist, only to be humiliated and dealt with in all sorts of absurd ways before finally being slapped to death...

That was the fate of me, the perfect Minor Villain.

If I wanted to survive, I had to avoid every conflict with the protagonist.

The first and foremost conflict was my relationship with Leng Qingqiu.

I had to stay far, far away from Leng Qingqiu—as far away as possible.

As long as I endured until the ending, I could return to reality with generous rewards, become a rich, handsome winner, marry a beautiful rich girl, and reach the pinnacle of life!

I could even cure my mother's illness.

The Lu Family had been established in Xue City for a long time and maintained good relations with the Chen, Xu, and Leng Families.

Especially Old Master Chen of the Chen Family. Lu Guanghong had even become his godson, making him my god-grandfather.

Recently, my god-grandfather Chen Qiushou had fallen ill and taken to bed. Everyone in the Lu Family had visited him except me, since I had been too busy fooling around to show my face.

Drop off the gift, say hello, then get the hell out of there!

Yes! That was settled, then!

The moment he stepped outside, he saw the big guy he had held down at the engagement banquet gathering people.

Big guy Zhao Gang was full of anger. "Is everyone here?"

More than thirty bodyguards stood in several rows and shouted, "We're all here!"

"Good!"

Zhao Gang's anger had not faded, and his face was dark as iron. "Young Master Lu's engagement ceremony was ruined by that bastard Long Aotian! Can we swallow this insult?"

Everyone shouted, "No!"

"That's right! Young Master Lu is our boss! In Xue City, it's always Young Master Lu who steals men and women and commits every evil deed. No one gets to bully Young Master Lu!"

Everyone raised their fists and shouted, "Steal men and women! Commit every evil deed! Steal men and women! Commit every evil deed!"

With a suave wave of his hand, Zhao Gang silenced everyone instantly. They stood in perfectly neat formation.

"So! We're going to find Long Aotian, beat the crap out of Long Aotian, and win back Young Master Lu's honor!"

"Find Long Aotian! Beat the crap out of Long Aotian! Steal men and women, commit every evil deed! Steal men and women, commit every evil deed..."

Lu Chengwen hurried over and grabbed Zhao Gang. "What are you doing?"

"Oh! Young Master Lu, you're here!" Zhao Gang said excitedly. "Young Master Lu, I have nine ways to play that Long Aotian to death. Nine ways! Just watch me!"

Lu Chengwen kicked him right in the ass. "Do you have nothing better to do?"

Lu Chengwen looked at the thirty-odd fit young men. "In the future, don't shout things like 'steal men and women and commit every evil deed' so loudly. Do I not care about my reputation?"

Zhao Gang was confused. Scratching his head, he said, "Young Master Lu, in the past, you were always... not very concerned with saving face."

Lu Chengwen trembled with anger. "I care about my reputation now, all right?"

"Oh!" Zhao Gang shouted. "Did everyone understand? Our Young Master Lu now wants to be a whore and set up a chastity arch too! Understand the spirit of it!"

Everyone raised their fists and shouted, "Be a whore! Set up a chastity arch! Be a whore! Set up a chastity arch!"

Lu Chengwen roared, "Get lost! All of you, get lost!"

One of the men was still raising his fist as he walked away, muttering under his breath, "Be a whore... set up a chastity arch..."

Lu Chengwen rushed over to kick him. "You little bastard, don't leave! I'm fighting you today!"

Zhao Gang held him back. "Hey, hey, hey, Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu! We were all trained according to your instructions! Everyone's used to it."

Lu Chengwen panted heavily. "You trained them?"

"Yeah. Don't worry, I understand what you mean. That beggar Long Aotian, I'll definitely—"

Lu Chengwen grabbed him. "Zhao Gang."

"Young Master Lu."

"We're brothers."

Lu Chengwen said it with great sincerity.

He had no choice but to be sincere. He could see it clearly now—this brute was way too reckless.

And he was stubborn as a mule. Oil and salt would not penetrate him; he could not understand anything else you said.

Most importantly, if Zhao Gang kept causing trouble like this, every debt would be pinned on Lu Chengwen's head. Then Long Aotian would still end up slapping him to death.

So he could only coax and deceive him.

Zhao Gang was deeply moved. "Young Master Lu, I'm unworthy. I'm only a..."

Lu Chengwen said, "If we're brothers, then don't come after me with a knife! Be good. Don't provoke Long Aotian again. Tell everyone to take a detour whenever they see Long Aotian. Understand?"

"Why?"

Zhao Gang said, "I Don't Understand."
