Lu Xingchen watched Shi Ming leave, then opened the jade box. Quietly nestled inside was a red pill.

Qin Feiyang poked his head out. When he saw the pill, his gaze instantly trembled.

"What pill is this?" the Wolf King asked telepathically.

"An Aphrodisiac Pill!" Qin Feiyang turned and leaned against the large tree, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"What's an Aphrodisiac Pill?" the Wolf King asked doubtfully.

Qin Feiyang said, "It stimulates a person's lust, making them uncontrollably crave."

"What? Are they planning to give Ren Wushuang an Aphrodisiac Pill?" the Wolf King asked in alarm.

"Isn't it obvious?" Qin Feiyang sneered.

"Damn it! I'm going to slaughter him right now!" the Wolf King roared in fury.

"Calm down." Qin Feiyang grabbed it and turned to look at Lu Xingchen.

He saw Lu Xingchen clutching the jade box, looking up at the sky, rage burning in his eyes.

Spirit State would have been enough with just me. Why did Qin Feiyang have to appear… He stood there mumbling to himself, clenching his fists tightly, his face gradually contorting.

If Qin Feiyang hadn't suddenly appeared, none of this would have happened. The Lu Family wouldn't be in this situation.

Why… Finally, Lu Xingchen roared in madness, his long hair dancing wildly, his eyes gleaming with an astonishingly cold light!

Watching Lu Xingchen's back, murderous intent surged in Qin Feiyang's heart!

WHOOSH!

Just then, another figure in black tore through the sky.

It was the woman in black who had confronted Ren Wushuang when Lu Xingchen had been streaking naked.

Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow, tucked the jade box into his robe, and turned to the woman in black, frowning. "What are you doing here?"

"Ren Wushuang clearly doesn't want to marry you. Why do you insist on forcing her?" the woman in black said softly.

"That's my business. It has nothing to do with you," Lu Xingchen replied indifferently, then turned to leave.

"Lu Xingchen, stop being so stubborn!" the woman in black said angrily. "Ren Wushuang herself said that you only care about fame and fortune, and women are just tools to you. She has no good feelings for you whatsoever. No matter what you say, she won't marry you. You should give up now!"

Lu Xingchen stiffened. He turned to the woman in black and asked, "Did she really say that?"

The woman in black nodded.

Damn it! Lu Xingchen cursed inwardly. A gleam flickered in his eyes as he moved in front of the woman in black and sighed, "Shen Mei, I've actually known about your feelings for a long time."

"What do you know?" Shen Mei sneered. "Aren't your eyes only for Ren Wushuang?"

Lu Xingchen nodded. "Yes, I neglected you before. I apologize. To be honest, I like you too."

"You like me?" Shen Mei's delicate figure trembled as she stared at Lu Xingchen in disbelief.

What is happening now? Qin Feiyang was somewhat bewildered.

"It's obvious, isn't it? They're having an affair!" the Wolf King smirked.

An affair? Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.

This two-faced bastard! He hasn't even married my sister, and he's already up to this sort of thing. If they actually get married, won't he become even more unrestrained?

Lu Xingchen, completely unaware of the man and wolf hiding in the shadows, took two more steps toward Shen Mei, until their bodies were almost touching.

The atmosphere instantly became charged.

"What will happen next? I'm really looking forward to this," the Wolf King snickered.

This makes things easier, Qin Feiyang muttered.

Fatty's cunning plan was to find a few women to be in bed with Lu Xingchen. That way, not only could they catch him in the act, but they could also make the rumors come true. By then, Lu Xingchen would have no way to redeem himself.

He had thought it would be troublesome, but unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen and the woman in black had created such a scene themselves. Now, even if nothing actually happened between them, as long as the recorded images were exposed to the world, Lu Xingchen's reputation would be ruined.

Looking at Shen Mei again, she seemed quite flustered. She had indeed liked Lu Xingchen for a long time. But Lu Xingchen's change was so sudden, she was finding it hard to adjust.

A glint flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes. He stretched out his arms and pulled Shen Mei into his embrace.

Shen Mei instinctively struggled.

Lu Xingchen said softly, "I really do like you. Please don't reject me, okay?"

"I..." His words threw Shen Mei into turmoil.

"My pursuit of Ren Wushuang is only for her status and position; I have no feelings for her at all," Lu Xingchen continued. "But for you, my feelings are sincere. I was just afraid Ren Wushuang would find out before, so I didn't dare to show it."

Hearing this, Shen Mei stopped struggling. She looked up at Lu Xingchen and asked, "Really?"

"I swear to the heavens," Lu Xingchen replied.

A joyful smile spread across Shen Mei's face. "So, are you planning to give her up and marry me now?"

Marry her? A hint of disdain flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes as he shook his head. "I can't give Ren Wushuang up yet."

"Why?" Shen Mei pushed Lu Xingchen away forcefully.

"I have my reasons," Lu Xingchen sighed deeply.

"What reasons?" Shen Mei frowned and asked.

After a moment of deliberation, Lu Xingchen sighed. "You know the Lu Family's current situation. If I don't marry Ren Wushuang, the Treasure Pavilion won't lift its ban."

Shen Mei fell silent.

Lu Xingchen continued, "Mei'er, you're a smart woman. You should know that if we were to marry, not only would it solve nothing, but it would also implicate you and your family."

"Don't say any more." Shen Mei's eyes grew moist. "Just pretend I was never here." She turned to leave.

"Wait!" Lu Xingchen quickly grabbed her. "Let me finish, okay?"

"Is there any need?" Shen Mei looked at him coldly.

Lu Xingchen said, "I have to marry Ren Wushuang. Will you help me?"

"Bastard!" Shen Mei immediately slapped Lu Xingchen across the face.

Nice one! Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King cheered silently from their hiding spot.

Lu Xingchen was stunned by the slap.

"I admit I like you, but I'm not so muddle-headed as to help you do something like this!" Shen Mei berated him. "And I want to ask you, asking a woman who likes you to help you get another woman—don't you find that shameful?"

Being berated by Shen Mei, a vicious glint flashed deep in Lu Xingchen's eyes, but the smile on his face remained.

Lu Xingchen said, "You're right, I am a bastard. But only by doing this can I bring you happiness in the future."

Shen Mei was taken aback. "What do you mean?" she asked, puzzled.

Lu Xingchen said, "If the Treasure Pavilion doesn't lift the ban, you're destined to live a life of hardship with me."

Shen Mei said, "I don't mind."

"You may not mind, but I do!" Lu Xingchen grabbed Shen Mei's shoulders, his voice low. "I, Lu Xingchen, a man of stature, how can I let the woman I love suffer with me? Mei'er, once Ren Wushuang and I are married, the Treasure Pavilion will certainly lift the ban immediately. Then, I will formally marry you and bring you into the Lu Family. How does that sound?"

"This..." Shen Mei hesitated, uncertain.

The Wolf King looked on with disdain, transmitting, "This bastard might be scum, but he sure has a way with women. Xiao Qinzi, you should take some notes."

"Get lost!" Qin Feiyang snapped internally, glaring fiercely at it.

"Mei'er, are you worried about Ren Wushuang?" Lu Xingchen said, reassuringly. "Don't worry. Once she's my wife, I'll be the one in charge. If I want to marry you, she wouldn't dare refuse."

Shen Mei was silent for a moment, then asked, "How are you planning to deal with her?"

Stupid woman, Qin Feiyang cursed inwardly. Even an idiot could tell Lu Xingchen was just feeding her sweet lies. And Shen Mei actually believed him? Truly, a woman in love often has questionable judgment.

Lu Xingchen, secretly delighted, glanced around before pulling the jade box from his robe and whispering, "Find an opportunity. Get her to take this pill."

Shen Mei took the jade box and opened it. Her expression immediately turned to one of horror. "Aren't you afraid of angering the City Lord by doing this?"

"What's there to fear?" Lu Xingchen sneered. "Once she's my woman, what can the City Lord do to me?"

"You're insane," Shen Mei said, shaking her head. "I can't do something like this."

Lu Xingchen's expression changed. He quickly pulled Shen Mei into his arms, soothingly, "Mei'er, this concerns our future happiness. You must help me."

"I..." Shen Mei was flustered once more.

Lu Xingchen's eyes flickered. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Mei.

The moment their lips touched, Shen Mei instantly melted.

"Damn, are they really going to put on an erotic show right here?" the Wolf King's eyes nearly bulged out.

"Not for young eyes," Qin Feiyang said, reaching out to cover its eyes.

「A moment later.」

Lu Xingchen lifted his head, pleading, "Mei'er, please, will you help me?"

After a moment's thought, Shen Mei said, "I'll try."

Lu Xingchen said, "Not 'try.' You must succeed."

"Alright." Shen Mei nodded.

"Thank you." Overjoyed, Lu Xingchen instructed, "Once you succeed, send word to me immediately."

"Mm." Shen Mei nodded again.

"Then I'll head back first. I'll be waiting for your good news." Lu Xingchen smiled warmly, spoke softly, then turned and soared into the sky.

"Sigh..." Shen Mei sighed softly, then also rose into the air, flying towards the Cultivation Hall.

Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King also emerged.

"Finally, the show's about to begin," the Wolf King chortled.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang's eyes as he took out an Image Crystal Stone and quickly activated it.

「Soon.」

The illusory image of Ren Wushuang materialized.

"Well, well, if it isn't the legendary Qin Feiyang! What made you suddenly think of contacting me?" Ren Wushuang quipped, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Qin Feiyang forced a smile. "Elder Sister, now's not the time for joking. There's something I need to ask you: who is Shen Mei?"

"Hm?" Ren Wushuang's brow furrowed slightly. "Why are you asking about her?"

"Don't ask questions, just tell me quickly," Qin Feiyang urged.

"She's the eldest daughter of the Shen Family Head in West City. She's quite talented, a Five-Star War Emperor now," Ren Wushuang said. "We often played together when we were children. Oh, right, her grandfather is also the City Lord of West City."

Such a prominent background? Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King exchanged a look.

If the Shen family finds out Lu Xingchen is deceiving Shen Mei, they'll probably be the first to go after the Lu Family.
