The Money Rain is Here

Just as the people in Central City were debating whether to surrender or not,

a person suddenly stepped forward, flicking their hair.

"Everyone! Please listen to me!"

"???"

Everyone was taken aback, then turned their heads to look.

There.

A greasy, slick-looking man emerged, surrounded by a group of black-suited bodyguards.

While everyone was wondering who this person was,

a voice suddenly shouted out from the crowd: "It's Mei Ziang! The one who participated in the Warrior Trainee show!"

"Mei Ziang, you're so handsome!!"

The crowd: ..... Are you even trying to hide that you're a plant?

Mei Ziang waved his hand: "Ah! Those are all old glories now. By the way, I won first place in the trainee reality show."

The crowd: ....

"So, what are you going to say?"

A man who was originally thinking of dropping his bracelet now suddenly wanted to hear what the other had to say.

"Heh! Simple!"

Mei Ziang smiled confidently: "We have hundreds of people here! And Su Muwan and Qin Luo only have two!"

"Think about it! Can they handle us all by themselves??"

In the back of the crowd,

Several masked individuals frowned.

One of them said coldly: "Can't handle us? Then how did she rack up her individual points?"

"No, no, no."

Mei Ziang shook his head and explained: "You have to think, the people participating in this competition are a mixed bag, with all sorts of cultivation levels."

"Su Muwan just took advantage of her superior martial techniques to mass-eliminate those weak martial artists."

"But us?"

We've come this far—who among us isn't an elite among elites? A powerhouse among powerhouses?

As Mei Ziang spoke, he gestured towards the black-suited bodyguards around him, a confident smile on his face: "These bodyguards are all mid-Mastery Realm warriors!"

"With everyone's help, too!!

I seriously doubt Su Muwan can deplete her qi and eliminate us all!!"

"Then, we'll share the prize money equally!"

The words fell.

Everyone's expressions were jolted.

They looked at each other, contemplative.

Hmm?

You know what?

This guy might actually have a point.

The participants in the competition had varying cultivation levels.

The weaklings had already fallen earlier.

And the fact that they had made it this far, avoiding Su Muwan's purges...

Didn't that mean they were strong? Stronger than anyone else in this competition?

"Exactly!"

"If we band together, even Su Muwan won't stand a chance against us!"

"That's right! You take on Qin Luo! The rest of us will handle Su Muwan!"

"Exactly! Wait till then, we'll share the prize money!"

The morale surged.

Mei Ziang couldn't help but smile broadly.

Perfect!

Even if the rules of the competition had changed, what did it matter?

Mei Ziang knew best how to manipulate the situation!

First, he used the rules to recruit bodyguards to accompany him through the competition, and now, he would use these people to deal with Su Muwan and secure the championship!

Then, I, Mei Ziang, will rise to fame and fortune!

He was giddy with excitement, and as for Su Muwan...

He simply didn't believe that so many experts couldn't take down just one person.

Thinking this, he rallied the troops: "Eliminate Su Muwan! Seize the championship!"

"Eliminate Su Muwan! Seize the championship!"

"Elimina...."

Before the chant could finish,

the temperature around them plummeted suddenly.

At the same time,

a chilling voice echoed throughout the entire city.

"Who dares speak of eliminating me, little lady?"

As the voice spoke,

crack!!

The chilly air swept in, and the warriors who had just been chanting to eliminate Su Muwan instantly froze into ice sculptures.

Immediately, everyone's expressions stiffened.

They looked up towards the sky.

And at that moment,

the terrifying scene that made their scalps prickle appeared before their eyes once again.

Nine icy dragons soared through the sky, hovering above them as the morning sun rose.

Qin Luo stood at the head of one of the golden dragons,

looking down at the crowd with a slight smile.

"Should I start the countdown?" he asked.

The words had barely left his mouth when,

"Su Muwan and Qin Luo are here!!!"

someone screamed in horror.

The morale of the crowd plummeted instantly.

Everyone quickly threw down their bracelets and scattered in all directions.

Come on!

This display! This spectacle!

How could they possibly fight against that?

Just the size alone was on a completely different level, alright??

"Hey! Don't go!"

"Hey!"

Mei Ziang shouted frantically at the fleeing crowd, but it was no use.

In desperation, he was about to take off his bracelet and withdraw from the competition.

"So, you're Mei Ziang, huh?"

As the icy voice echoed,

boom!

Mei Ziang felt his body stiffen and ache all over. In an instant, his entire body froze, and his dantian shattered with a crack!

"I... I’m crippled?" he coughed out a mouthful of blood, his limbs limp as he collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding bodyguards also threw down their bracelets and scattered in all directions.

Su Muwan rose from her throne, flying over to Qin Luo's side. She crossed her arms, looking down at the chaos below with great satisfaction.

"Finally over!" she exclaimed, then glanced at Qin Luo, asking smugly, "How was it, Qin Luo? With just a little effort, I can crush this competition in no time!"

Qin Luo had witnessed what it looked like when Su Muwan was barely putting in any effort for this whole night.

How did he know it was barely any effort?

Because Su Muwan had done nothing more than casually flick her fingers the entire time, her butt never once leaving her throne.

He snapped his fingers,

stopping the live feed of their side.

He smiled and looked at the smug Su Muwan, then reached out his hand to pat her head.

"My lady is indeed very impressive."

Su Muwan felt a warm, ticklish sensation in her heart when she was patted. Her face turned red, and she slapped Qin Luo's hand away with a humph: "Of course! Since you know that, when we get back, you have to let me do whatever I want to you!"

"So sudden? Did we agree on that before?"

Qin Luo was a bit surprised.

Su Muwan, however, gave him an irritated look and shrieked, "W-w-we didn't agree before, but who says it can't happen now? Don't get so cocky, you silly Qin Luo!

In the field of love, I know way more than you! Other couples do stuff like this all the time..........

In fact, they do even more than we do!"

"...

So, why emphasize this?

Qin Luo blinked.

He.... he got it!

Got it real good!

So, Su Muwan wasn’t satisfied with just kissing, so!

Qin Luo clenched his fist, then looked at Su Muwan and said seriously, "My lady, don’t worry, when we get back, I’ll definitely let you taste something more exciting!"

"???"

Su Muwan looked at him, dumbfounded.

What flower?

Just as she was thinking,

Boom!!!

A series of booms erupted.

Qin Luo and Su Muwan turned their heads to look.

They were both stunned.

At that moment, the screen reappeared.

The audience in the live stream also went dumbstruck.

In front the Ching-chong Candies center of the city, the terrain began to change. At the same time,

a huge sci-fi mecha about the height of a skyscraper slowly rose from the center!

The mecha was intricately designed, resembling a steel beast.

With a boom, the mecha's head slowly lifted, its eyes glowing with light.

The roaring sound reverberated through the city, ear-splitting. Strong air currents surged, stirring up the surrounding dust and debris into a hazy curtain of chaos.

Everyone's pupils dilated in shock.

What is this??

Qin Luo glanced at the skyscraper-sized mecha.

He finally locked it on the core in its chest.

The next moment,

a projection was cast from the mecha's chest.

It was a man whose body was completely mechanized, leaving only his head.

It was Qian Yu!!

The projection showed Qian Yu as if he was inside the mecha. Upon seeing Su Muwan,

His face contorted into a snarl and he roared.

"Su Muwan!!!

You filthy woman!!!

"Qin Luo!!!

You poisonous husband!!!

"Surprised we meet again!!!"

Su Muwan:???

Qin Luo:......

What a dampá sauce way of putting it, really. WTF?!

When did these titles become a thing?
