When Ye Chen and Long Ya left the hotel and headed downstairs, quite a few people were still gathered outside.
They were all excitedly discussing tonight's birthday banquet.
Hearing them talk,
Ye Chen nearly ground his teeth to dust.
Tang Yu, you've got some nerve, humiliating me like this!
Long Ya followed behind Ye Chen, pale-faced and trembling with fear.
The first task the Dragon King had given him had ended up like this!
Thinking of how the Dragon King had just been humiliated in front of everyone, he couldn't stop a cold sweat from breaking out across his back.
When the Dragon King flew into a rage, rivers of blood would flow!
After walking some distance from the hotel, the two stopped in a park.
Long Ya wiped the cold sweat from his face and hurried over to Ye Chen, apologizing guiltily.
"Dragon King, I failed to handle things properly today. Long Ya is willing to accept punishment."
After speaking, he raised his left hand and slammed it hard against his chest.
His palm, infused with profound inner strength, was just about to land when—
Ye Chen swiftly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"No need. You're my brother. It was just a small matter."
That single word, "brother," filled Long Ya with gratitude.
The Dragon King actually considered him a brother!
And he wasn't even going to punish him!
"I, Long Ya, have drifted through half my life, lamenting that I never met a wise lord. Now that I can serve the Dragon King, I'll gladly give my life for him!"
Long Ya choked out.
"But we can't just let today's matter go."
Ye Chen let out a cold snort.
His voice icy, he said, "Take people with you and prepare to strike back at once. Within a week, I want Mingyue Hotel put out of business, and that guy surnamed Wang must die too."
After suffering such humiliation today, if he didn't repay it a hundredfold, he wouldn't be Ye Chen!
"Understood."
Long Ya gave a sinister smile. It would be all too easy to bankrupt a hotel.
Then he asked, "By the way, Dragon King, what about that kid surnamed Tang?"
"Leave him alone for now. I've already sent Ling Han and Chi Yin to get close to him. He's as good as dead."
Ye Chen said coldly.
He wouldn't just kill him. Before he died, he'd make him watch with his own eyes as the Tang Family fell!
Hearing that Ling Han and Chi Yin had gone, Long Ya grinned.
Among the Dragon Soul Organization's Eight Great Generals, the Dragon King naturally ranked first!
Ling Han and Chi Yin ranked third and fourth.
With the two of them working together, there was no chance of failure!
As for him, he'd only become the eighth general because the Dragon King had taken a liking to him!
But because he wasn't strong enough, he'd been stuck in eighth place for ages.
So plenty of people in the organization called him Long Lao Ba.
After Long Ya left, Ye Chen's face darkened. He couldn't help muttering under his breath,
"Useless."
After returning home, Tang Yu lay on his bed, looking utterly drained.
Another damn day of failing to keep a low profile!
Thinking of the look on Ye Chen's face today,
Tang Yu knew it would be even harder to keep a low profile from now on.
"Ding! Host has successfully survived the plot. Reward: one copy of the Qingnang Heavenly Scripture. It has been automatically learned!"
He had just lain down when the system's voice rang out.
In the next instant, countless pieces of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge flooded his mind.
"What the hell?"
The Dog System had suddenly taken pity on him and given him such an incredible reward?
Had it maxed out his medical talent in one go?
He sat up in bed and examined his body.
His eyes seemed able to peer right through his body and see his meridians.
He could easily spot even the slightest problem in his body.
His mind was also filled with countless treatment methods—secret herbal formulas, acupuncture, massage, and more!
In short,
his medical skills were now among the very best in all of Huaxia.
Even with such an amazing reward, Tang Yu wasn't in a hurry to celebrate.
This Dog System was acting suspicious!
"System, is this Qingnang Heavenly Scripture guaranteed to be ripe?"
Tang Yu asked silently.
"Are you picking a fight on purpose? You think a system like me would sell you unripe melons?"
The system sounded a little displeased.
"Cut the crap. You gave me a hotel and then dug a pit for me to fall into."
Tang Yu cursed under his breath.
The system immediately played dead.
Seeing that the damn thing had gone silent, Tang Yu decided he absolutely wouldn't use these medical skills on anyone else for now.
Otherwise, who knew whether the Dog System had set another trap for him?
He lay back down and soon fell asleep.
In his dream, Wang Yixue and Su Muyue were both dressed as bunny girls, fighting over the chance to mount him, a little piglet.
Just as Tang Yu was caught between pain and pleasure,
someone gently patted his face and called his name.
"Brother Tang Yu."
"Wake up. Come have breakfast."
Hearing that sweet voice, Tang Yu was instantly called back from his dream.
He opened his eyes and saw a vast expanse of snowy white scenery.
At that moment, he remembered something Yasuo had once said.
I've touched the peaks and plunged into the valleys; both have brought me great rewards.
The wording might have been a little off, but Tang Yu figured that was basically what he meant.
Jiang Xiaoyue was standing by his bed.
Today, she was wearing a JK uniform. With her sweet, innocent looks and petite figure, she really did look like a high school girl.
It was just that although she had an adorable baby face, her figure was astonishingly well-developed.
Standing beside the bed, she was bent over, rubbing Tang Yu's face with her hand to wake him.
So when Tang Yu opened his eyes, he more or less lost himself.
"Xiaoyue, you can't test a ca—"
Still groggy from sleep, Tang Yu almost blurted out what he was thinking.
He quickly changed tack. "Morning. What brings you here?"
"I came to treat Grandpa Tang. His stomach problems flared up again over the past couple of days, remember?"
Jiang Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and nudged Tang Yu with her hand as she asked.
"What did you mean just now by 'test'?"
"I didn't mean anything. I was talking in my sleep."
Tang Yu shook his head vigorously.
Girl, watch what you're doing, okay?
It's early in the morning. Is it really appropriate to make a pure-hearted young man like me look at this?
It's more than appropriate.
No wonder you aren't getting any taller. All your nutrition must be concentrated in one place.
No wonder some sage once said that a woman who couldn't see her feet when she looked down was the most stunning sight in the world.
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts,
Jiang Xiaoyue's ears burned bright red.
She glanced down at her neckline, then hurriedly straightened up and urged him on, her face flushed.
"Get up and have breakfast. Auntie asked me to come call you."
"Okay. Go outside for a bit. I need to get dressed."
Tang Yu was used to sleeping naked and couldn't get out of bed in front of Jiang Xiaoyue.
Jiang Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and hurried out.
Once outside, she took a deep breath, rubbed her cheeks vigorously, and muttered,
"Brother Tang Yu's turned naughty."
Ever since she'd heard Tang Yu's thoughts last time, she hadn't been able to stop thinking about it.
Since she happened to be visiting today to treat Grandpa Tang, she'd come to find him and confirm it again.
Now she'd confirmed it, all right—but it was a little embarrassing.
It wasn't like she wanted to be this big. It was exhausting just walking around!
