NOVEL WEB Chapter 249
Chapter 249: No Mirror at Home, but There’s Always Urine?
“From the northwest, I’m Ren Tianchou of the Ren family. I’ve long heard of Young Master Chu.” Ren Tianchou stood up from his seat, cupped his fists, and smiled faintly at Chu Mingcheng.
“So, it’s Young Master Ren. I’ve heard of your great name for a long time too. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” After some polite exchanges, Chu Mingcheng also sat down on a chair.
Seeing Ren Tianchou’s friendly attitude, he knew that the other party’s purpose for coming today was the same as his own. Not for the mineral resources, but to build connections.
“I am Su Hongwen. Greetings to both of you.”
“So, it’s Young Master Su. A pleasure to meet you.”
“Look, it’s Young Master Tang from the Tang family in Lingnan.”
“Indeed, it’s Young Master Tang. It’s said he’s also a master at the Man and Heaven realm.” While they were exchanging pleasantries, a commotion arose at the entrance of the hall.
Jiang Che and the others all looked towards the noise, and when they saw who it was, Chu Mingcheng’s face visibly darkened, a hidden killing intent flashing in his eyes, showing his deep resentment towards the young man.
“What’s the matter, Young Master Chu? Do you have a grudge against this person?” Jiang Che keenly caught this and asked curiously.
The Tang family in Lingnan was another prominent family like the Ren family in the northwest and the Chu family in Chuzhou.
“Yes, Tang Tianlong is extremely arrogant and domineering. I had a conflict with him in Qingzhou.” Chu Mingcheng nodded and said candidly.
There was nothing to hide about such matters, and saying a few bad things about Tang Tianlong first could also lower Tang Tianlong’s position in Jiang Che’s mind.
Just as Jiang Che was about to ask more questions, a sudden notification from the system sounded in his mind.
“Ding, a protagonist has been detected nearby. The system has automatically generated the protagonist’s attribute panel. Would you like to view it?”
“View…” After a moment’s pause, Jiang Che replied firmly.
He had almost given up hope, but unexpectedly, he really encountered a protagonist at the last moment. As for who the protagonist was, it was obvious.
It had to be the arrogant Tang Tianlong mentioned by Chu Mingcheng.
Protagonist: Tang Tianlong
Cultivation: Early Man and Heaven realm
Luck: 15000
Identity: Eldest Young Master of the Tang family, Transmigrator
Cheat: Martial God System
Plot: “Reborn, I Became a Martial God”
“Would you like to accept the plot?”
“Don’t accept…” Jiang Che replied calmly. There was no need to accept such a plot.
The system had already indicated that Tang Tianlong was a transmigrator who became the eldest young master of the Tang family.
An ordinary young man from his past life who succeeded in his new life, continuously showing off and winning over girls…
At this time, Tang Tianlong had walked from the entrance of the hall to the long table. He scanned the crowd and his eyes lit up when he saw the stunning Gu Menghan. His gaze was filled with greed as he gulped.
Having been in this world for three years, and as the eldest young master of the Tang family, he had seduced countless beauties. But he had never seen a woman as stunning as Gu Menghan.
Without hesitation, Tang Tianlong walked straight to Gu Menghan and flashed what he thought was a charming smile.
“Hello, beautiful. I’m Tang Tianlong, the young master of the Tang family from Lingnan. Can we get to know each other?” He had never seen her before and assumed Gu Menghan was the daughter of a family in Tianhai City.
To him, the families in Tianhai City were like ants, so he was confident he could win over this beauty.
If necessary, he would use threats and inducements. If this woman didn’t want her family to go bankrupt, she would have to comply!
“Get lost!” Gu Menghan looked up at Tang Tianlong, her eyes icy cold. Her red lips parted as she spoke in a frigid tone, devoid of any emotion.
“You…” Tang Tianlong’s face stiffened, and he looked furious.
Noticing the mocking gazes from around him, his anger flared. He couldn’t believe this woman was so ungrateful! She had embarrassed him in public! When had he ever been humiliated like this?
“Kid, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear my sister tell you to get lost?” Sitting beside her, Gu Qing stood up abruptly, looking impatiently at Tang Tianlong, not showing any courtesy.
He was a notorious playboy and didn’t care if Tang Tianlong was the eldest young master of the Tang family. If there was any disagreement, he would curse right away.
“You…” Tang Tianlong’s fingers trembled slightly, and his face turned ashen.
Being scolded by the woman was bad enough, but now even this guy was insulting him. Did they really think he was easy to bully?
“What do you mean, ‘you’? With that loser look of yours, you still want to hit on my sister? Don’t you have a mirror at home? Or at least urine? Go take a look at yourself and see if you’re worthy.”
(TL: This urine idiom I think means “look at yourself!” (Implying other party’s incompetence) Literal: Pee on the ground and look in the mirror of the pee puddle.)
Gu Qing sneered at Tang Tianlong, showing no respect at all.
“Which family are you from?” Tang Tianlong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.
Although he was reckless, he wasn’t a complete fool. At first, he thought this woman was just a rich young lady from Tianhai City, but her fearless demeanor indicated a significant background.
He knew that several top families from Jiuzhou were present today.
“We’re from the Gu family in the capital.”
“The Gu family in the capital?” Tang Tianlong’s face changed, and he felt a pang of regret.
The Gu family in the capital was stronger than the Tang family in Lingnan. He regretted his rash actions.
“What, are you scared now?” Seeing Tang Tianlong’s reaction, Gu Qing smirked.
He had thought this guy was something special. Apparently not.
“I’m sorry, Miss Gu. I apologize for my rashness earlier.” Tang Tianlong clenched his fists tightly and bowed his head to apologize to Gu Menghan.
Although his words were sincere, his trembling fists revealed his inner turmoil and resentment towards Gu Qing. He was deeply regretting his earlier recklessness.
Not only had he lost face in front of everyone, but he had also left a bad impression on Gu Menghan. His habit of getting distracted by beautiful women was something he needed to change, or it would lead to his downfall.
Gu Menghan glanced at him but didn’t say much. She didn’t make things difficult for him since he had only tried to flirt and hadn’t done anything outrageous.
Tearing their relationship apart wouldn’t benefit either family. If Tang Tianlong had dared to be more forward, she would have crippled him on the spot.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkwardly silent, and no one spoke, making the scene feel very tense.
