My Gorgeous Landlady

??? kicked Chen Tao in the head several times in a row, not only did Chen Tao become puzzled, but everyone watching was, too. Was this the same Liu Chen who had always been hiding and ducking?

Such movements, such speed, and these straightforward, unadorned attacks, could they really be coming from Liu Chen?

Shocked, everyone's gaze was fixed, unable to look away, even Cai Yin. Once she witnessed this scene, her mouth formed an O shape.

One could imagine the shock it caused.

Chen Tao's head was bleeding, and who knows how many teeth he'd lost as he knelt on the ground, his previous arrogance undergoing a complete reversal.

Liu Chen's face remained calm, his heart not the least bit disturbed.

He glanced at Chen Tao.

"Everyone has parents, and everyone has a mother and father. If you have a problem with me, come at me, not them. I, Liu Chen, can take it. What are you, to think you have the right to curse my parents?"

Liu Chen's calm words echoed around the ring, silencing everyone.

Cai Yin looked at Liu Chen, as if at that moment, he was infused with a magic that made it impossible for her to take her eyes off him.

"Chen Tao has really run into trouble this time. However, I've also figured out where Liu Chen's Achilles' heel lies!"

"This brat, is he still keeping his true strength hidden from me? Just based on how he totally dominated Chen Tao, who has A-grade strength, within a few exchanges, Liu Chen's strength must surely be above S-grade!"

Cai Yin, being very clever, quickly made many connections. This test, although Chen Tao ended up as the scapegoat, indeed revealed some of Liu Chen's true capabilities.

Chen Tao roared in rage, furious at being subdued by Liu Chen—he was completely unwilling to accept this.

"You little punk, only good for sneaky tactics, show me your true skills!" Chen Tao's voice was hysterical.

Liu Chen just smiled.

"Is that all you're capable of, just running your mouth?"

In Liu Chen's voice, there was a full measure of mockery, inflaming Chen Tao's rage even more.

"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"

Completely enraged, Chen Tao suddenly drew a black dagger from his waist and charged at Liu Chen like a madman.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone around, and even Cai Yin's face showed a change. Without any hesitation, she charged straight into the fray.

"Chen Tao, stop it now!"

Cai Yin shouted forcefully as she rushed into the arena. Chen Tao was very fast and didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, clearly demonstrating his deep hatred for Liu Chen.

Watching Cai Yin charge over, and Chen Tao coming at him with a dagger, Liu Chen didn't hesitate. In the instant Cai Yin rushed in, he promptly embraced her.

The next moment, Liu Chen, holding Cai Yin in his arms, rotated his body. He kicked out powerfully, his foot whipping out rapidly and striking the dagger in Chen Tao's hand.

The dagger flew out, embedding itself in the wooden flooring not far off, and Chen Tao came to a halt.

Inside Liu Chen's embrace, Cai Yin's lips curled into a slight smile. Her strength was never weak to begin with. Her sudden appearance in the middle of the ring was clearly for one reason—to test him.

To test Liu Chen's strength once again.

"Judging by that reaction speed and defensive awareness, she's definitely a master!"

Cai Yin muttered to herself internally.

Liu Chen was still holding the attractively figured Cai Yin. He quickly understood the hidden intentions behind her actions.

"This girl, day in and day out, just wants to test me, and even now she's still at it. Now that she's in my hands, it would be my loss not to take some advantage!"

Quick thoughts raced through Liu Chen's mind as his hand on Cai Yin's abdomen unconsciously caressed her smooth stomach.

"Not an ounce of excess fat, such a beauty, her skills must be quite exceptional!"

Cai Yin's cheeks reddened slightly, the unusual sensation on her abdomen something she couldn't help but feel.

Liu Chen's thoughts were wild, yet his face and mouth conveyed a rich array of expressions.

"Miss Cai Yin, are you alright? It was too dangerous to rush in like that. You aren't hurt, are you?"

After Liu Chen finished speaking, he started to feel around Cai Yin's body, causing her to become extremely annoyed, yet unable to make a scene, she could only maintain a look that was uglier than crying.

"Liu Chen, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Cai Yin managed to say, and Liu Chen didn't cross the line, mindful of the public eye and the many onlookers.

"You little punk, becoming bolder, daring to take liberties with me!"

Cai Yin lowered her voice, whispering in Liu Chen's ear.

Liu Chen wasn't bothered, responding in kind.

"Not a bad figure, such a sexy waist, truly a femme fatale!"

Liu Chen's voice remained soft as he spoke.

Cai Yin's face turned even more flushed, she glared fiercely at Liu Chen, then turned her somewhat menacing gaze toward Chen Tao, not too far away.

"Chen Tao, have you forgotten that this is just a sparring match? There's no need to be humiliated and pull a dagger just because you're outmatched!"

Cai Yin showed no courtesy and directly confronted Chen Tao.

Chen Tao was at a loss for words, but his gaze towards Liu Chen was still filled with malice.

"I declare Chen Tao the loser of this competition!"

Cai Yin's voice echoed around, and everyone nearby, one by one, stayed silent, though they had all accepted the declaration.

Though Liu Chen had only revealed a hint of his skill, many insightful onlookers had already recognized that Chen Fan was truly a master, a person with real talent.

Soon after, the crowd dispersed, and Liu Chen's reputation subtly spread.

Liu Chen returned to his workstation and continued to work diligently until the end of the workday.

After work, Liu Chen went straight back to his house. Qin Lu wasn't there, but another tenant, Lin Xueting, was in the house.

"Liu Chen, you're back from work? How do you feel about the first day?" Lin Xueting greeted him with a smile on her face and spoke.

Because Liu Chen had treated her hidden ailment the night before, Lin Xueting's attitude towards him had undergone a complete one-eighty.

"Not much to feel, but my job is just a security guard, it's very relaxing!" Liu Chen responded with a smile.

After greeting Lin Xueting, Liu Chen went back to his own room, taking his toiletries and a change of clothes with him to the bathroom to wash up.

Upon entering the bathroom, Liu Chen once again saw those clothes and couldn't tear his gaze away, recalling the scene of seeing Qin Lu bathing.

"Qin Lu, this seductive little vixen. Can't she consider the feelings of a male tenant like me?"

Pulling his gaze away, Liu Chen took a long time to forget the scene before starting to shower.

Half an hour later, he was comfortably lying on his big bed, staring at the ceiling, daydreaming.

"This kind of life is the best, fulfilling and without any pressure, simple and unadorned. All I'm missing now is a girlfriend!"

Liu Chen sighed. Just then, there was a knock at his door.

Lin Xueting stood there, her face slightly red, her head bowed, showing a shyness unique to a young girl, and acting somewhat bashful.

"Xueting, what's up?"

Liu Chen asked.

"Liu Chen, could you help me with something?"

"What is it? If I can do it, I, Liu Chen, will certainly not refuse!"

"Thank you!" Lin Xueting's pleasant voice echoed by Liu Chen's ear.

"Come with me!"

Having said that, Lin Xueting fled at her fastest speed.

Liu Chen still stood dumbfounded at the entrance of his own room.

"Follow her, could it be…" Liu Chen's thoughts went rogue all of a sudden, thinking of the acts between men and women.

"Isn't this too fast? I'm not ready yet. I'm still a virgin. If I just give in to her, won't I be at a loss?"

Liu Chen's mind raced with chaotic thoughts, as he headed towards Lin Xueting's room.

Knock, knock.

"Is that you, Liu Chen? Come in!"

"Xueting, what's so important that I had to come to your room?"

"Liu Chen, could you rub some bruise ointment on me? It's odd; Sister Qin Lu hasn't come back yet tonight, so I had no choice but to ask for your help."

"Oh, I see. Okay then!"

Liu Chen took the bruise ointment, looking at Lin Xueting's figure, his heart also heated.

The thought that such a sexy and hot body had to fight in underground boxing matches for a living made him feel somewhat distressed.

Lin Xueting lay obediently on her bed, and Liu Chen set aside his lewd thoughts, focusing intently on applying the ointment to her.

Applying the ointment unavoidably involved touching skin, and every time he touched Lin Xueting's back, Liu Chen could clearly feel her shivering.

After applying the ointment, Liu Chen also gave Lin Xueting a good massage, helping her to recover.

"All done!" Liu Chen said with a slight smile.

"Thank you, Liu Chen!"

"You're welcome!"

Just then, the cell phone by Lin Xueting's bedside started ringing.

Lin Xueting answered the call, and she heard Qin Lu's anxious voice from the other end.
