Chapter 13: Arc 2 - The Golden Thigh
Ten years later.
Mother Lin was released from prison.
Mother Lin’s name was Lin Yuxia. She had known that she was beautiful since she was a child, and she knew even more that such things as looks were just an accessory to seize the people’s hearts. When she married Lin Yuhao’s father, it was naturally because he was obedient to her, but what was the use of being obedient? Incompetence is still incompetence.
So when Qing Haolin showed up, she grabbed him like a lifeline. She made him think she’d been abused for years, and used his soft-hearted trait to capture him.
Eighteen years later, Lin Yuhao suddenly appeared, and Lin Yuxia was taken aback. But seeing Lin Yuhao’s attitude towards her, she suddenly thought of the lies she had told before divorcing his father. When she looked at Lin Yuhao, she knew what he wanted. He wanted a reason to break into the ancient martial world.
When one wanted to go to high places, the choice wasn’t that difficult. Lin Yuhao wanted to use her as a reason to make a name for himself, and she had long since been dissatisfied with being the wife of the Head of a second-rate family.
Even though she knew that the lie back then probably wouldn’t last long, does it matter? This was just what was in the interest of both of them. The lie would remain forever and even become the truth.
But the one who surprised her the most was Qing Yun, the child who was almost made stupid by her.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxia looked up at the man in a suit in front of her, who was once the heir and now the Head of the Nie family. It was widely rumored that his cultivation had also reached First Heaven. Instead of developing his power in the Ancient Martial Realm, Nie Chenyuan made a significant transformation to bring the Nie family into the business world.
Time had not left any traces on the man, only making his temperament settle into a more dangerous one. However, for such a dangerous man, he actually smiled like a child when he made a phone call.
His words faintly mentioned Qing Yun’s name. Lin Yuxia’s heart was moved. They were still together? She looked at Nie Chenyuan and slowly smiled.
Nie Chenyuan hung up the phone and went to sit down across from Mother Lin.
“You can’t hurt me.” Lin Yuxia smiled and looked at her hands that had become rough from ten years in prison, “I’m Qing Yun’s mother, so you can’t hurt me.”
Unexpectedly, the man in front of her turned cold and said, “It’s because you’re his mother that I can’t let you go.”
Lin Yuxia was startled.
“Even if he doesn’t care, I can’t forgive you for hurting him.”
Mother Lin and Lin Yuhao never appeared in front of Qing Yun ever again. He accompanied Nie Chenyuan in this world for nearly two hundred years and used these years to thoroughly learn all kinds of modern knowledge.
What surprised him was that after Lin Yuhao, the main character’s plan was disrupted. Although he and Nie Chenyuan were promoted to First Heaven, they did not interfere too much in world affairs. The world turned out to be heading down a completely different path from the original. With extreme technological development, the ancient martial arts slowly declined.
Looking at Nie Chenyuan’s old and peaceful face, the last of the warmth in Qing Yun’s eyes slowly dissipated as Nie Chenyuan’s life passed away, and his entire body returned to its original cool demeanor.
Qing Yun’s body also slowly fell beside Nie Chenyuan, and at the same time, a white-clothed figure once again appeared in a hidden crack in the void.
This rift was a place that Qing Yun had opened up with the help of the energy he had absorbed from the previous world. Beyond this rift, there was the Heavenly Dao everywhere.
A ball of light shone at Qing Yun’s fingertips, slowly forming a complete sphere.
Qing Yun narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised. This was, surprisingly, the world he had previously left from. He did not expect that what he had snatched from the protagonist was not only energy but also ownership of this world!
"
"
Focusing on this flashing ball of light, the corner of Qing Yun’s mouth curled up in a malicious smile. This was considered the first thing he had snatched from the hands of Heavenly Dao.
But he’s not interested in what other people have used, so why not just destroy it?
Pure cruelty spilling out of Qing Yun’s eyes, making him wonder if destroying the world would bring him a little bit of extra energy at the same time?
Fingertips slowly pressed, almost crushing this ball of light. Suddenly the bits and pieces of this world, someone’s pleasing smile, every care, and burning emotions flashed in Qing Yun’s mind frame by frame…
Qing Yun frowned fiercely.
In the end, he let go of the world and let it float in this rift. He took a deep breath to discard his thoughts and shifted his gaze to look outside his space.
A vast group of worlds appeared before Qing Yun’s eyes. Each world was linked together like fruits, stretching into the invisible distance.
Without too much haste, Qing Yun stayed in the rift for close to a hundred years. Only after completely absorbing the energy of the last world did he follow the pull of his soul and escape into the next world.
The pungent smell of perfume, the screams of a woman.
When his fingers touched the greasy skin beneath him, Qing Yun immediately couldn’t endure the physical disgust and straightened up.
This world’s information suddenly flooded into Qing Yun’s mind, causing his already dizzy head to suffer even more pain. Qing Yun’s powerful soul then quickly transformed the body he currently had.
This body’s name was Xiao Chengnuo, the second young master of the Xiao Pharmaceuticals Group.
“Second Young Master…” seeing Xiao Chengnuo get up, the scream of the woman under him came to an abrupt end, “You, aren’t you going to continue?”
The woman was a little embarrassed, and calculation flashed in her eyes. She made sure that he had taken the drug. Earlier, Second Young Master Xiao was like a wolf, but now he had withdrawn and calmed down.
If this doesn’t work…
“Secretary Miao, why are you in my room?” Qing Yun looked at the woman on the bed with cold eyes. Something was wrong with his body; he was obviously drugged. This woman is Xiao Chengnuo’s father’s secretary. Today was the company’s annual meeting; Xiao Chengnuo couldn’t handle the alcohol, so Secretary Miao sent him back to the hotel.
After a little thinking, Qing Yun knew the situation he was in now.
This was the protagonist’s trap for him again. He gave the drug to Xiao Chengnuo, instructed Secretary Miao to bring him back to the room, and drag him to the bed, to make the false illusion of r*pe. Xiao Chengnuo’s older brother Xiao Chengzhe, the protagonist of this world, will soon come with his father to “visit” this younger brother.
His stubborn and old-fashioned but expectant father would find out that his son had r*ped his secretary less than two months after joining the company. Having r*ped his secretary, he’d immediately throw Xiao Chengnuo out in a fit of rage.
“Second Young Master…you…you’re the one who dragged me in ah!” Secretary Miao reacted quite quickly when she covered her face, sobbing. She was anxious since the Young Master will soon bring the President over. Xiao Chengnuo has not even taken off his pants, so how can she slander him?
Thinking so, Secretary Miao went to look at Xiao Chengnuo through her fingers.
The Second Young Master Xiao, who has just been drugged, and had reacted strongly before, now seems to be even calmer than her.
She had given him a good dose of the drug. Is there something wrong with Second Young Master Xiao?
“Oh, then you can go.” Qing Yun gave her a stern look.
Go? How is she going to get money from the boss for this?
“Second Young Master, how can you be like this? I…I was…but you…” Secretary Miao opened her eyes wide and looked at Qing Yun, tears falling down her face. She was good at dealing with a fresh college graduate like Xiao Chengnou.
“Oh? What did I do to you?” Qing Yun lowered his head and tugged on the button of his collar. Secretary Miao had given him too much of the drug, so it would take some time to clear up completely. He was only conscious now, but his body still wasn’t quite right.
Secretary Miao choked. Even if she wanted to say something, Second Young Master Xiao hadn’t really done anything to her. The two just fell on the bed, and Xiao Chengnuo bounced up like a spring. At this time, Secretary Miao’s hair was just a little messy.
She looked at the man in front of her with a slightly open collar and a long jade body. It was inexplicably attractive, and she suddenly had a change of mind. It was not possible to do the things that Young Master Xiao ordered. Still, it would be good to take advantage of Second Young Master Xiao. When the old-fashioned President Xiao arrives later, she might even be able to marry into the Xiao family.
Thinking like this, Secretary Miao braced herself and pounced towards Qing Yun, who unexpectedly dodged sideways. Secretary Miao fell to the ground.
“Click”
The door opened.
Looking at Secretary Miao, who was lying on the ground, Xiao Chengzhe’s smile stiffened, and all of his prepared words got stuck in his throat.
But he immediately reacted and shouted in alarm, “Secretary Miao, Xiao Nuo, you…”
Xiao Chengzhe said as he gave a subtle wink towards Secretary Miao.
Secretary Miao understood, lying on the ground, and once again started crying. She cried while squirming on the floor, which made the straps of her dark red evening dress fall. At first glance, she appears to have been ravaged…carrying a devastating look.
Xiao Chengzhe was full of embarrassment and made a gesture to close the door. However, a pair of strong hands braced on the door and slowly opened it.
“Dad!” Xiao Chengzhe looked at the visitor and then at Xiao Chengnuo, who was standing in the room with an unreadable expression.
“What are you blocking? Can it be blocked!” Father Xiao walked in with a black face, and his tone was ironclad. He looked at Xiao Chengnuo with a grim expression and immediately wanted to beat this evil son on the spot.
“President…President…the Second Young Master…” Secretary Miao half propped herself up and looked at Father Xiao with messy hair and seemed to be speechless from pain.
“Chengzhe, quickly take Secretary Miao to deal with!” Father Xiao hurriedly moved towards Xiao Chengzhe.
Xiao Chengzhe dutifully picked up Secretary Miao and sent her into the bathroom. His downcast eyes faintly flashed with smugness.
Qing Yun swept a glance at him. As the young master of the Xiao family, why would Xiao Chengzhe frame Xiao Chengnuo? Because Xiao Chengzhe was only adopted, his real name was Cheng Zhe. He was the son of Father Xiao’s partner.
When Father Xiao and his partner had a disagreement, the partner drove home in a rage and was involved in a car accident, leaving behind his son, who was still in kindergarten. Father Xiao felt guilty, so he adopted Cheng Zhe.
However, Cheng Zhe ultimately blames Father Xiao for his father’s death. He has no sense of belonging to the Xiao family at all. His goal was to get rid of Xiao Chengnuo and get the Xiao family in his name.
Father Xiao looked at Xiao Chengnuo, who was standing there with absolutely no remorse. He was absolutely furious and raised his hand to slap him.
Qing Yun turned his head sideways to dodge it, narrowing his eyes at Father Xiao, who was blaming him without a second thought.
Father Xiao, who started from scratch, looked forward to his son’s success and was very strict with Xiao Chengnuo. Xiao Chengzhe saw this, so he brought Xiao Chengnuo as the type of man that Father Xiao disliked the most. Xiao Chengnuo had done unpleasant things like forging report cards, racing cars, and making trouble.
Xiao Chengnuo was not a fool, but he actually treats Xiao Chengzhe as his brother. Xiao Chengnuo tries to attract Father Xiao’s attention, but he gets frustrated repeatedly under Xiao Chengzhe’s guidance.
However, Xiao Chengzhe’s disguise in front of Father Xiao is perfect, making Xiao Chengnuo’s disgrace even more apparent.
“You’re still avoiding! You’ve only been in the company for a short while, and you’ve done such a humiliating thing. How do you want me to explain this to Secretary Miao?” Father Xiao glared at him, but the more he spoke, the more helpless he became. This second son of his always let him down, and this time he even stepped on Father Xiao’s bottom line.
