Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Zhencui Gardens.

Lu Chuan dashed into the complex and quickly arrived at Qin Lan's front door.

With one kick, he burst the door open, and then he saw Mu Nanqing, with disheveled hair and bruises on her face, kneeling in front of Liu Kun, who was in the midst of unfastening his belt.

Hearing the door kick, both turned to look over.

Liu Kun stopped unbuckling his belt and looked at Lu Chuan with a sneer, "You're such rubbish, but you actually dared to come. Didn't I beat you hard enough yesterday?"

Mu Nanqing, upon seeing Lu Chuan, immediately tried to rise, but Liu Kun pressed her back down, "What do you think you're doing? Trying to run? If you don't please me today, just keep kneeling here!"

Lu Chuan, burning with rage, clenched his fists and yelled, "Liu Kun, I'm going to kill you!"

Liu Kun scoffed, "You, a weakling? Don't make me laugh. Just sit tight and watch your dear sister-in-law serving me, right in front of your eyes—it's so thrilling just thinking about it!"

Lu Chuan charged over in one bounding step, no longer wanting to waste words with this beast.

Seeing this, Liu Kun sneered and readied a stance to beat Lu Chuan.

However, when Lu Chuan reached him, he realized his own reactions couldn't keep up with Lu Chuan's speed.

As Lu Chuan's fist hurtled towards his face, he could only watch, wide-eyed, "How... How is this possible!"

Bang!

Liu Kun was knocked to the ground by Lu Chuan's punch, which nearly sent him to his grave.

Lu Chuan helped Mu Nanqing up, asking with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Mu Nanqing, trembling with fear, leaned into Lu Chuan's embrace and then gently shook her head, "No... no, it's just that he beat me..."

Lu Chuan glared at Liu Kun with gritted teeth, planning to teach him a lesson later, but then asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you end up here?"

Mu Nanqing explained, "I stewed a chicken today, thinking of bringing some to you and Qin Lan. But when I got here, a strange man opened the door. Once he knew I was your sister-in-law, he leered at me. Then he dragged me inside, claiming you owed him money and that I should pay with my body. I didn't agree, so he hit me. I barely found the chance to call you."

"He was very ruthless; I couldn't hold up against him and finally had to submit. If you hadn't arrived in time, I... I fear he would have..."

At that point, Mu Nanqing broke down and cried.

Lu Chuan quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, it's okay now, I'm here. He wouldn't dare to touch you."

Then he turned his icy gaze towards Liu Kun, grabbed his collar and slapped him, "You really are a beast!"

Just as Liu Kun was getting his bearings, the slap stunned him again.

"Lu Chuan, I really gave you too much face! If you lay another finger on me, I swear you'll regret ever living in this world!"

Slap slap slap slap!

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan struck even harder.

Liu Kun, a skilled fighter, could take down four or five men on his own, but now he had no strength to fight back against Lu Chuan.

He couldn't understand how the worthless man he had beaten up so badly the night before had suddenly become so powerful. Fuming inside, he could only take the beating.

Not long after, Liu Kun had been slapped into a swollen mess, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Feeling he was close to his limit, he quickly begged for mercy, "Brother, Brother Chuan, I was wrong. Please stop, I'm going to die by your hands!"

But Lu Chuan ignored him and continued the brutal assault.

Barely holding on, Liu Kun was almost in tears, "Dad, I'll call you dad if I have to. If you keep hitting me, I'm really going to die!"

Only then did Lu Chuan stop and snorted coldly, commanding, "Kneel down and apologize to my sister-in-law!"

Liu Kun didn't dare hesitate and quickly crawled over to kneel before Mu Nanqing, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I will never dare to do it again."

Feeling the anger vent from his heart, Lu Chuan delivered a kick to Liu Kun and said, "If you ever dare to bully my sister-in-law again, I swear I'll kill you!"

Then he turned and helped Mu Nanqing, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

Not long after Lu Chuan and Mu Nanqing left, Qin Lan came back home. When she saw Liu Kun lying on the ground, half-dead, she went pale and quickly went over to help him up, "Dear, what happened to you? Who did this to you?"

Liu Kun's eyes brimmed with venom as he gritted his teeth, "It was that son of a bitch Lu Chuan!"

Qin Lan frowned, "That loser? He's capable of doing this to you?"

Liu Kun spoke angrily, "Lu Chuan had his sister-in-law come to seduce me, and she's really slutty. I pushed her away, but she kept pressing herself against me and even tried to take off my clothes. Lu Chuan took the opportunity to rush in and take photos, threatening me, wanting to beat me for revenge for last night. I was afraid he'd spread the photos and ruin my reputation, so I had to submit. Otherwise, how could that waste beat me? But damn it, that bastard hits so hard, I was almost killed by him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan's face grew extremely dark, and she hissed through clenched teeth, "That worthless loser has found such a way to deal with you, he's really got some nerve!"

Believing her own story, Liu Kun quietly breathed a sigh of relief and then said angrily, "I must avenge this. If I don't make him suffer, I won't get over this!"

Qin Lan immediately said, "Darling, I have a friend who can persuade an expert in inner strength under Long Tianya. Since we're planning on revenge, why not do something ruthless? Let's hire an inner strength expert to take care of him, how does that sound?"

Liu Kun's eyes lit up, "Great! Let's do as you suggest. With an inner strength expert taking action, that trash can spend the rest of his life in bed!"

...

After leaving Zhencui Gardens with Mu Nanqing, Lu Chuan went to the small house Mu Nanqing rented.

The house had only one bedroom and one living room. It was small and packed with many items. However, Mu Nanqing kept it very clean and had put up some nice decorations, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere in the room.

"Sister-in-law, I'm to blame for what happened today. I broke up with Qin Lan yesterday. If I had told you right away, none of this would have happened," Lu Chuan said reproachfully.

Mu Nanqing shook her head, indicating that she didn't blame Lu Chuan, and asked, "What exactly happened between you and Qin Lan?"

Lu Chuan sighed and told her about Qin Lan's affair with Liu Kun.

Mu Nanqing frowned slightly, "I thought Qin Lan was a good girl, and I was hoping you two could get married and have children. I didn't expect her to be so vain and shameless."

Lu Chuan revealed a bitter smile, "Let's not talk about her anymore. She's history."

"Sister-in-law, you have a bit of bruising on your face. Let me help you get rid of it. Your face is so pretty; it shouldn't have such blemishes," he said.

Mu Nanqing looked surprised, "You can do that too?"

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "I have many skills to show you, sister-in-law. You'll see in time."

Mu Nanqing laughed along, "Alright then, go ahead and take care of it."

Lu Chuan nodded, walked over to Mu Nanqing, cradled her face in his hands, and placed them over the bruised area, beginning to use his spiritual power to remove the bruise.

Mu Nanqing had a beautiful face that possessed the charm of a mature woman, and combined with her deep, expressive eyes, Lu Chuan found himself quite mesmerized.

"Weren't you going to help me with the bruise? Why have you stopped?" Mu Nanqing asked.

Lu Chuan came to his senses and quickly shifted his gaze away, giving a light cough, "Sister-in-law, maybe you should close your eyes, I'm feeling embarrassed with you looking at me like that."

Mu Nanqing smiled and slowly closed her eyes.

Not long after, the bruising on Mu Nanqing's face completely disappeared, leaving her skin fair and delicate once again.

"It's done," Lu Chuan withdrew his hands.

Mu Nanqing looked at herself in the mirror and, realizing that the bruising had indeed vanished, exclaimed in surprise and delight, "Xiaochuan, you're so amazing. You even have such miraculous medical skills."

Lu Chuan felt somewhat proud, "It's just a small trick of mine."

Mu Nanqing gave him a reproachful look and then got up to pour a cup of water for Lu Chuan.

She had just stood up when she frowned, then quickly sat down again, with cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan asked urgently, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Mu Nanqing replied, "My... My ribs suddenly hurt."

Then she slowly lifted her clothes to look at her left side.

There was a large area of bruising that spread out dreadfully.

Only a small part was visible; the majority was covered by her clothes. Lu Chuan guessed that the bruising probably extended all the way to Mu Nanqing's chest.

His face instantly turned cold as he cursed, "Liu Kun, that bastard, I should have killed him when I had the chance!"

Mu Nanqing said, "It's okay, don't be angry. It's not worth it. Your medical skills are so impressive, just treat this area, and it will be fine."

Lu Chuan's face turned red with embarrassment, considering that to treat her, he would likely have to place his hand near Mu Nanqing's chest, which was somewhat awkward for him.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Sister-in-law, maybe I should go buy some medicinal herbs and make an ointment for you to apply instead."

Mu Nanqing was puzzled, "Why bother with medicinal herbs? Can't you treat it with your hands? Why should we waste money on that?"

Lu Chuan coughed twice and said, "The location of the bruise is a bit awkward, I... I would be offending you."

Only then did Mu Nanqing realize why Lu Chuan wanted to buy the medicinal herbs, and her face flushed red.

Considering the cost of buying herbs and the sudden intense pain of the bruise, which might make her pass out before Lu Chuan could prepare the ointment, she said with a thick skin, "In healing there is no shyness; you are the doctor now. There's no offense to be taken. Treat it as you must, sister-in-law won't blame you."

"Besides, it hurts so much, I fear I can't stand it much longer, and it would be a hassle to go to the hospital."

On hearing this, Lu Chuan reluctantly nodded and said somewhat uneasily, "Alright then, sister-in-law, you'll have to... take off your undergarment and lie down on the bed."

Feeling her face burning, Mu Nanqing hesitated for several seconds, then said to Lu Chuan, "Then turn around first."
