Yu Canghai continued his secluded cultivation to transcend mortality.
Meanwhile, Chen Zheng and the three women left the Su Family villa under Su Ziming and Wen Tailai's gazes, which looked as though they were watching an immortal.
What had happened tonight was a little too bizarre for ordinary people. Of course, the most bizarre thing was still what Chen Zheng had done: with a casual breath, he had reduced the terrifying lightning crashing down to dust and ashes.
"It was even more exaggerated than what's written in novels. It's truly unbelievable!"
What Su Ziming found hardest to understand was that Chen Zheng was clearly a twenty-year-old young man, and according to the information collected, three years ago, he had been a boy who couldn't have been more ordinary.
Even if he had encountered some fortuitous opportunity in those three years, wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
"This world is far vaster than we imagine, and its mysteries go beyond our understanding. An existence like Senior Chen isn't someone we can fathom."
Wen Tailai murmured.
Back in the study, Yu Canghai had discussed Chen Zheng's origins with him. He had been half-convinced then, but after witnessing Chen Zheng's earth-shaking ability to break a Heavenly Tribulation with a single breath today, he now believed completely, and his respect for Chen Zheng grew ever deeper.
Chen Zheng, Senior Chen, was an existence that transcended everything!
Elsewhere.
Chen Zheng and his group returned to Su Cheng's home, though of course they dropped Catherine off at Nan University along the way.
"Come on, Chen Zheng! I'm ready! Use your high-end techniques to unblock me!"
As soon as they got home, An Jing dragged Chen Zheng into her bedroom, stripped off her clothes, lay face down on the bed, and asked him to use his high-end techniques to unblock her.
"All right."
Chen Zheng swept his gaze over An Jing. For an instant, an incomparably terrifying desire to conquer seemed to erupt from him, but it vanished in a flash, and the next moment, he entered a state of concentration.
His hands began at An Jing's bare shoulders, gliding over her flawless back, down and down, all the way to the very soles of her bare feet. Throughout the process, there was almost no sound other than An Jing's soft moans.
So, watching this from the bedroom doorway, Su Cheng had only one feeling: a sense of profound sanctity, as though Chen Zheng were performing some extremely sacred ritual on An Jing.
Maybe I should let Chen Zheng use his high-end techniques to unblock me too...
The thought surfaced again, and Su Cheng finally made up her mind. Once Chen Zheng finished unblocking An Jing, she would have him use his high-end techniques to unblock her too!
Thursday afternoon.
On the set of Qin Yi's drama about a returning immortal cultivator.
"Is Yanran here? No unauthorized people allowed? I'm one of the investors, and you're calling me unauthorized? Believe me, I'll pull my investment right now! Hmph! Open your damned eyes and take a good look at who I am! Even Qin Yi has to give me face. Do you crew members not want your jobs anymore? Huh? Believe me, I'll have Qin Yi fire you right now! Yanran isn't filming today. I'm taking her out to eat! Get the hell out of my way!"
A commotion suddenly sounded outside, then three people forced their way in, bringing filming to an abrupt halt.
"Huh? You've got your arm around Yanran? Who the hell are you? You dare put your arm around my Yanran? Get your filthy paws off her!" The tall, thin young man leading them wore sunglasses. The moment he saw Chen Zheng holding Yanran, he launched into a stream of abuse.
The next moment, he whipped off his sunglasses and hurled them straight at Chen Zheng's face!
Chen Zheng tilted his head slightly forward, just avoiding the flying sunglasses, and happened to brush Yanran's lips with a light peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"..."
The crew froze at the sight.
Was... was that a coincidence?
Yanran froze for a moment too, blinking blankly at Chen Zheng.
"What? You little bastard, you even dare kiss Yanran! Fuck! I haven't even kissed her, and you dare put your hands and mouth on her? You're really tired of living! Xu San, cripple this brat for me! Slap him! Slap that filthy mouth of his hard!"
The tall, thin young man froze for a moment too, but the next second, he flew into a rage!
"Zhang Fang! What the hell are you doing?"
Qin Yi snapped back to her senses and barked coldly at the tall, thin young man.
"The young master from the other investor's side..."
Director Xu frowned, recognizing where the tall, thin young man came from.
This Young Master Zhang was the son of the head of a major film and television group, and he was quite famous in the industry. Of course, none of that fame was of the good kind. Lately, he seemed to have set his sights on Yanran. He had probably flown to Nan City specifically to see her today, and he had brought people along.
Director Xu felt rather annoyed. The romance in this drama was just about to reach its climax, with the male and female leads about to perform a scene of clapping for love. The emotions and everything had already been built up, only for this Young Master Zhang to interrupt them.
But Director Xu could only sigh inwardly. He had quite a reputation in China's film and television industry, but when faced with a spoiled rich brat like this, there was nothing he could do.
"Qin Yi! My dad gives you face, and so do I! But I can't put up with this brat. Fuck, he dared touch my Yanran. He's getting crippled today!" Zhang Fang shot Qin Yi a look, then gave Chen Zheng a vicious grin. "Brat! You could've just done your filming, but you had to put your hands on her, and even your mouth, and you just had to let me catch you! Now there's a thorn in my heart, and today I'm pulling you out! Xu San! Go! I want his face ruined!"
"Yes."
Xu San nodded, his voice indifferent. He wore a light black Chinese-style outfit, even with cloth shoes on his feet. His step seemed utterly soundless. A hint of mockery showed in his eyes as he looked at Chen Zheng, and he shook his head lightly as he approached. "You offended someone you shouldn't have."
"Is that so?"
Chen Zheng merely smiled.
"Chen Zheng..."
Yanran murmured, her brow furrowing as she instinctively tightened her grip on Chen Zheng's arm.
"Zhang Fang! You're asking for trouble!"
Qin Yi folded her arms and stared coldly at Zhang Fang.
"Asking for trouble? Haha! Ridiculous! Qin Yi, you bitch, if my dad didn't give you face, I'd have wanted to do you ages ago, hehehe!" Zhang Fang gave Qin Yi a sinister look, then turned his vicious gaze back to Chen Zheng. "Xu San! Hurry up! I want this brat spending the rest of his life in a hospital bed!"
At that moment, the other crew members were furious but dared not speak!
"Young man, sorry about this."
Xu San had already reached Chen Zheng. He smiled at him as he spoke, his right hand shooting toward Chen Zheng's throat with incomparable ferocity, like an eagle's claw!
So fast!
Such a fast claw strike!
At that moment, Director Xu and the crew seemed to see an afterimage. Xu San's claw striking toward Chen Zheng looked as though special effects had been added to it. Almost all of them sighed inwardly!
Alas! Chen Zheng's in for it today!
But Qin Yi merely kept her pretty face cold and her arms folded. She wasn't worried about Chen Zheng at all, because she remembered that scene at the South Wind Coffee House very clearly!
"Cripple this brat for me!"
Zhang Fang laughed wildly, his expression vicious!
Boom!
At the very instant his laughter rang out, the very moment Xu San's eagle claw came within ten centimeters of Chen Zheng's throat, Chen Zheng suddenly raised his right foot and kicked Xu San!
With a boom, Xu San flew backward, slammed into Zhang Fang, and carried him into the wall!
No!
They hadn't simply slammed into the wall. The impact of Xu San flying backward had driven Zhang Fang's entire body into it!
"Ah!"
The crew first froze at the sight, then screamed in shock!
"Chen... Chen Zheng..."
Director Xu glanced quickly at Chen Zheng, then at Xu San lying on the floor and Zhang Fang embedded bodily in the wall. His mouth hung wide open, and he rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief.
This... this was actually real!
With that kick just now, Chen Zheng had sent the seemingly formidable Xu San flying and kicked Zhang Fang into the wall along with him!
"You shouldn't have interrupted my filming. After all, acting is one of the few things that interests me right now, so I could only give you a kick." Chen Zheng glanced indifferently at Zhang Fang, whose entire body was embedded in the wall, then turned to Director Xu with a slight smile. "Director Xu, let's keep filming."
"Huh?..."
Director Xu was dumbfounded.
Could... could they still keep filming after this?
