"Damn loser, you..."
Zhang Li's face darkened...
This poor loser had always been timid and quiet during the previous semester. When had he ever been so forceful? She hated it, especially since he was getting close to Dongfang Qianqian. He was nothing but a toad dreaming of reaching the sky.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Nobody's indulging you. You come straight out with that big mouth of yours, barking like a mad dog. I don't mind slapping you." Chen Xuan shot back without hesitation. He had already entered society, yet she still didn't know how to rein herself in. Who was going to indulge her?
Zhang Li exploded, shouting, "Chen Xuan... you bastard, what are you doing at school? Isn't it just to pursue Qianqian? You're a toad lusting after swan meat. It'll never happen. You're nothing but a poor loser..."
Smack...
Chen Xuan showed Zhang Li no mercy and slapped her. Zhang Li was stunned, and even Dongfang Qianqian was badly startled. Neither of them could believe he had actually hit her.
"I'm not your mother! Who's going to indulge that foul mouth of yours..." Chen Xuan showed no courtesy at all.
Zhang Li had always been a shrew during their school days. Relying on the many people pursuing Dongfang Qianqian, she collected plenty of benefits while spewing nonsense with her big mouth, always acting as though she was looking out for Dongfang Qianqian. She looked down on poor students everywhere, and since no one dared to deal with her, she became even more outrageous.
With such an unchecked mouth, she deserved to be slapped...
"Chen Xuan... I'll fight you..." Zhang Li became completely enraged. Like a mad cow, she was about to charge at Chen Xuan.
"Lili..." Dongfang Qianqian grabbed her and shouted angrily, "Stop! Don't you know how embarrassing you're being?"
"Qianqian... he hit me. My face is swollen..." Zhang Li looked utterly aggrieved, her tears falling like pearls.
"Shut up..." Dongfang Qianqian had never reprimanded her so furiously before.
"I..." Zhang Li nearly cried. Once she lost Dongfang Qianqian, she was nothing at all, so she could only obediently shut her mouth.
Chen Xuan watched coldly and said without the slightest courtesy, "Heh... I originally wanted to discuss the ginseng deal properly today, but I don't think that's necessary anymore..."
"Chen Xuan... wait..." Dongfang Qianqian was shocked. She stopped him and said, "I really need a ginseng root that's more than five hundred years old to save my grandfather. Please..."
"What does that have to do with me..." Chen Xuan was burning with anger. He turned around and left.
"Chen Xuan..." Dongfang Qianqian panicked. Once again, she stepped in front of him and said, "Can't you help me once for the sake of us being classmates? I really need it. I'll even become your girlfriend..."
The campus beauty of her generation, the moonlight in countless people's hearts, the young lady of Kyoto, and the beautiful university lecturer who drew everyone's attention lowered herself to beg. Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson...
Chen Xuan was satisfied. He took out a ginseng root as thick as a small arm, its roots bright and beautiful. At a glance, it was clearly no ordinary object. It gave off a fragrant aroma that left one feeling refreshed and invigorated. Dongfang Qianqian's heart pounded wildly. It was a genuine thousand-year-old ginseng...
"You can have it, but what price are you planning to pay?" Chen Xuan showed no courtesy. This thing was as common as cabbage in the primordial wilderness, but it had practically gone extinct now.
Dongfang Qianqian was delighted. "Three years ago, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng king in Kyoto, blessed by heaven, was auctioned for four million yuan. It was practically priceless despite having a market price. How about I give you ten million for this one? And I promise I'll become your girlfriend. I won't go back on my word..."
"Fine..." Chen Xuan handed the ginseng to her.
"Thank you, Chen Xuan..." Dongfang Qianqian was genuinely excited. The old master in Kyoto could finally be saved.
"That's enough... I'll send you my account number. As for being your girlfriend, forget it..." Chen Xuan only wanted to see her attitude. Dongfang Qianqian had helped many impoverished families send their children to university in the past, and her character was not bad at all. If she had been a woman like Zhang Li, who considered herself superior and looked down on the poor everywhere, he would have slapped her to death long ago.
Dongfang Qianqian was somewhat dumbfounded. She was one of the most beautiful women in Kyoto, came from an immensely powerful family, and was pursued by countless young masters of the Beijing Circle. Yet she had actually been rejected...
"Chen Xuan... why?" Dongfang Qianqian was somewhat indignant. Why did he have the right to reject her?
Chen Xuan did not answer. He hurried toward the main gate and immediately saw Great God Nuwa surrounded by a crowd, people taking pictures with Nokia phones. Several city management officers had also come to drive them away...
The dignified Great Unity Golden Immortal Great God Nuwa had been caught by city management officers in the modern era, becoming a laughingstock. She could casually craft nuclear bombs and destroy heaven and earth with a wave of her hand...
Great God Nuwa sat on the tricycle, displaying an elegance and stateliness that could not be concealed, along with a queen's imposing presence and a mature woman's haughty charm. She attracted plenty of university students to gather around and, in a single day, became a prominent figure on campus.
As a result, she attracted a group of city management officers...
"Miss... parking isn't allowed in this area. If you don't move, we'll tow the vehicle directly..." A city management officer gave her an unfriendly warning. If she had not been beautiful, an ordinary person would have been driven away already.
"Fine... I'm waiting for someone. I'll be leaving soon." Great God Nuwa smiled amiably.
"Just hurry up..." The officer was not overly strict. After giving her a warning, he left. After all, it was only 2010, and urban management had just begun to take shape.
Another group of students rushed over...
"Come, come, come... Let's continue. Who wants a picture? Who wants to get on the tricycle and have some fun? From now on, Big Sis will have your backs. I guarantee you'll be able to walk through the world unhindered..."
Great God Nuwa was extremely friendly and waved to a group of female university students. Besides taking pictures, they could also ride the motorized tricycle, which made her especially popular with those who loved excitement.
"Sis Feng Xi... you really aren't one of our university lecturers? Why did you come to University Town? Could it be that you're attending university?"
A familiar little delinquent girl with an explosive Shamate hairstyle looked at Great God Nuwa expectantly.
"I'm not a teacher, and I couldn't possibly be a student. But I know everything. If you want to learn, I can teach you later." Great God Nuwa was brimming with confidence. She was a dignified Great Unity Golden Immortal; casually crafting a nuclear bomb was nothing. Could mortal knowledge possibly stump her?
"Okay! Okay!" The Shamate girl was excited and thrilled.
"Beautiful young lady, would you be interested in acting? We're planning to produce Investiture of the Gods, with a major star-studded production. I feel you'd be perfect for Great Goddess Nuwa."
A man in a baseball cap came over to strike up a conversation and handed her a business card. Talents scouts did indeed exist in this era, though they would gradually become less common as handsome men and beautiful women from art academies flooded the market.
Some were also directors or investors who took a fancy to a perfect woman and specially invited her to appear in their productions.
"Oh? I'll definitely be playing myself. I'll contact you when I have time." Great God Nuwa took the business card and waved casually.
"Haha... You must call me. I'll definitely arrange everything for you. You'll be the most perfect Empress Nuwa, dazzling the entire nation. With your bearing, you could even play Wu Zetian..." The man in the baseball cap cupped his hands, showing how much he looked forward to it.
"Fine..." Great God Nuwa naturally knew who Wu Zetian was. Had she not seen all five thousand years of Chinese history for nothing?
The rest of them also crowded forward, especially several wealthy young masters...
"Wow! Goddess... how about I buy you some milk tea? I opened a bubble tea shop up ahead. You can be the lady boss from now on..."
"Goddess Sis... you look so cool. Take the tricycle for a spin. I guarantee you'll become the best goddess on the school forum and sweep across the entire country..."
"Goddess... are you interested in becoming a model? You have such incredible bearing. I guarantee you'll earn millions a year and become a true fashion queen..."
They nearly surrounded Great God Nuwa, scrambling to strike up conversations. They were far too enthusiastic, leaving Great God Nuwa both delighted and helpless. They were merely a group of mortals, yet they were so troublesome...
Amid the adoration of the crowd, she answered them one by one. Everyone, men and women alike, liked her. The school even stepped forward and invited her to join its song-and-dance troupe...
"Little Xuanzi... why are you still standing there? Let's go back!" Great God Nuwa was very impatient. At a glance, she spotted Chen Xuan watching the show, which immediately made her angry.
"Coming..." Chen Xuan answered. After squeezing through the crowd, he tried to drive the motorized tricycle away, but it was naturally blocked.
"Sis Feng Xi... who is this stinky man? Is he your boyfriend?" A female student was quite displeased. She looked Chen Xuan up and down. He was dressed entirely in street-market clothes, without a single foreign luxury brand. He was just a toad, and she found him utterly irritating.
Great God Nuwa smiled sweetly. "You guess..."
Everyone's hearts shattered...
"Make way, please. There's a gold mine at home that hasn't been dug yet. Don't block us from getting rich..." Chen Xuan drove the motorized tricycle away.
Not far away...
After seeing Great God Nuwa, Dongfang Qianqian and Zhang Li both felt genuinely inferior. Whether it was her bearing, beauty, or composure in controlling the situation, she crushed them completely...
No wonder she had caused such a commotion at the university gate. She truly stood out from the crowd, somehow inspiring a sense of worship...
"Little Xuanzi... what do you think about me going to the university to teach?" Great God Nuwa suddenly asked.
