Chapter 10

[Aaaaaah! What kind of tiger-and-wolf talk is that?! Why don't you try me and see whether I'm still weak or small, huh?!]

[I don't know whether he's weak, but I know Boss Water definitely isn't small!! Doge.]

[Upstairs, I suspect you're being dirty! But I also know Boss Water definitely isn't small! Hehehe.

Besides, compared to tiger-and-wolf talk, I'm more concerned that they actually knew each other long ago! If they already knew each other, why did Immortal Pretty Boy say he didn't know Shui Wuyuan?]

[Didn't you listen carefully to their conversation? You can tell from it that they knew each other as children. They probably hadn't met for a very long time in between, and only recognized each other when they met again. But I can't really explain the names.]

[What's so hard to explain? They probably used childhood nicknames! So after meeting again, Immortal Pretty Boy realized that Boss Water was the defeated opponent from his childhood.

But I suspect Boss Water recognized Immortal Pretty Boy from the video, and had been thinking about him all along! Think about Boss Water's bizarre response to that staged fall! Back then, I thought Boss Water had gone stupid from being provoked. Now I know he hadn't gone stupid from being provoked—he'd gone stupid with happiness! He was so happy he spun in circles while recognizing him!]

[Upstairs, what you said makes so much sense... So, is this a story about someone being bullied as a child, then steeling himself through hardship before returning as an adult to slap faces?

Then why hasn't Boss Water made a move yet? Just in terms of build, Shui Wuyuan is a whole size bigger than Immortal Pretty Boy, and half a head taller. He could probably send Little Immortal Pretty Boy flying to the ground with one punch! And now Boss Water has gone from the pitiful little thing who was bullied back then to a super-rich, handsome man. He can strike at him not only physically, but financially and mentally too!]

[...Upstairs is obviously a straight man of steel.]

[The person above upstairs obviously doesn't understand love.]

Straight man who didn't understand love: [???]

[How could this possibly be a

revenge

face-slapping story? Just look at these two faces and you should know—it's a

love-hate

romance story!! Screaming myself hoarse.jpg]

[Hehehehe, anyway, I ship this pair! No one can make me unlock them! Tell me, who else could make Boss Water not clap back on Weibo and spin in circles when they met? Only our one and only Immortal Pretty Boy! But...

Is Immortal Pretty Boy really older than Boss Water? No matter how I look at it, Boss Water seems several years older than Immortal Pretty Boy, doesn't he?]

[Mm, perhaps this is... the power of time and faith.]

Anyway, because Shui Wuyuan's fame and popularity in Huazhou were simply overwhelming, within ten minutes of Shui Wuyuan and He Qinglan meeting, trending topics such as #ShuiWuyuanImmortalPrettyBoy#, #ShuiWuyuanIsBig#, #BossWater'sUnknownDarkHistory#, and #ShuiWuyuanSpinningInCircles# parachuted straight onto Weibo's trending list. With popularity intense enough to make entertainment stars sour enough to shut themselves away, they nearly occupied the entire top ten.

One look, and it was all Shui Wuyuan.

But the king of the trending searches wasn't proud at all. Dressed in an expensive custom-tailored suit, he followed wantonly beside He Qinglan... watching him pick up trash.

After he said, "Why don't you try and see whether I'm still weak or small?" the River God gave this guy, who had grown taller over the millennia without growing a brain, a disdainful look and couldn't be bothered to waste words on him.

This guy clearly knew his origin was damaged and his Spiritual Power depleted, yet he still wanted to challenge him. Did he think the River God was stupid, or that he himself was stupid?

The River God sneered inwardly as he picked up trash. Once he recovered his Divine Power, he would beat this big little bastard to death.

However, the River God was nearly unable to contain his temper by then. He abruptly stopped and turned around, only to see Shui Wuyuan following behind him with a smiling face.

"Do you know you're really in the way?"

"Stay farther away from me."

The smile on Shui Wuyuan's handsome face became even more obvious. "I won't."

He Qinglan: "..."

"Then pick up trash with me." Though this big little bastard was annoying, one more person still meant one more pair of hands.

Yet Shui Wuyuan merely strolled around beside He Qinglan with his arms folded, showing no intention whatsoever of helping pick up trash.

When the River God cast him a sidelong glance, Shui Wuyuan looked completely justified. "Do you know that I'm currently Huazhou's richest man, a seafood tycoon, and also a cruise ship tycoon and real-estate daddy? A mere movement of my foot can affect the world economy. I will never lower my noble head or bend my sleek, narrow waist to pick up trash."

"Give up on that idea."

He Qinglan narrowed his eyes at those words. Shui Wuyuan stood opposite him, his face full of the arrogant expression that said, "Come at me if you dare."

This hair-trigger, dangerous atmosphere made the streamers secretly filming nearby stiffen all over again. After the barrage fell silent for half a second, everyone became excited once more.

[That's what I'm talking about! This is still a face-slapping story about the King's return! Whoever said it was a romance story, come out and take a beating! Just wait! A hand-to-hand battle is about to erupt!!]

[Hahahaha, that's right, that's right! No one can make our clapback king daddy shut up! Not even a childhood friend who falls from the sky!]

[Fight, fight, fight! I've long found this fake immortal unpleasant to look at! Does he think he's some kind of saint? Every other word out of his mouth is about how others are shameless and don't care for the environment. Does picking up trash mean he cares for the environment? I don't believe he's really that pure and upright! He definitely has another motive. His popularity is already comparable to that of the hottest idols! And it's only been one morning! Maybe tonight he'll use Boss Water's fame to debut!]

[Fight +1, it's time for Boss Water to teach him how to behave. Who does he think he is? What right does he have to make others pick up trash?]

Several streamers present who had no choice but to pick up trash shared the barrage viewers' thoughts. The previous four consecutive falls had kept the streamers and passersby from acting rashly, but surely Boss Water wouldn't be cursed by the "nonexistent River God" too, right?
