"Bark like a dog?!!
What the hell!
Lin Chen's face darkened as he thought about taking out his Lieyun Staff to smash this bastard's skull!
He stomped on the brake pedal.
But who would’ve thought the car wouldn’t stop at all!
The luxury Tesla slid forward for hundreds of meters without any sign of slowing down!
Seeing Lin Chen’s murderous reaction, An Yi broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized—
His position as the leader of the Asura Sect was just for show!
Absolutely useless!
Ordering this poker-faced guy to bark like a dog? In his dreams!
'Old Lin, don’t be rash! I was just asking if you could—you can totally refuse!
Stay calm, we gotta stay calm! This is the highway, we can’t stop here!
Look, the night’s so beautiful, and there’s a big celebrity in the passenger seat—why are you even mad?'
An Yi kept trying to placate him.
Lin Chen, shrouded in killing intent, kept his foot on the brake with a grim expression.
But the car still wouldn’t stop!
He swore—once they got out, he’d kill this brat!
An Yi glanced at Lin Chen’s dark face and felt a chill down his spine, regretting his words a little.
This scheming guy wasn’t saying a word—who knew what he was plotting!
What if he went and badmouthed him to Qin Yao again?
Ding! Host’s prestige is too low! Unable to issue commands!
The system, taking pity, proactively reminded him.
An Yi checked and finally noticed the 'prestige points' under his sect leader status.
It read: 300!
Only 300 prestige points?
He tapped it and saw that with his current points, he could only recruit twenty people.
Some grayed-out function tabs also required a certain amount of prestige to unlock.
Prestige points came from his reputation in the world—
The more people knew about him, the higher his prestige!
Additionally, improving his strength could also boost his prestige.
Lastly, recognition from the Asura Sect members!
This last one was highlighted in red, clearly the main source.
Moreover, next to the names of Fang Jueming, Long, and Hu, small green +1s occasionally popped up.
Bai Xiu, Qin Shan, Liu Dachao, and Shangguan Qianqian’s names were white, showing no reaction.
Lin Chen’s name was pitch black, with -2s constantly appearing!
This kept his already meager prestige points in a delicate balance.
An Yi gritted his teeth in frustration.
He had to accumulate prestige points as fast as possible!
Then he’d kick Lin Chen, this point-draining troublemaker, straight to the curb!
Screw the elder position!
All he does is cause problems!
Late at night, the brakeless Tesla ran through one red light after another.
Thankfully, the streets were empty at this hour—otherwise, it would’ve been a disaster.
Finally, the Tesla reached the Chuanfang Supermarket below An Yi’s apartment.
Crash!
Lin Chen knocked over a standee at the supermarket entrance and slid another hundred meters before the half-functional brakes barely managed to stop the car.
'We’re here,' Lin Chen said coldly.
An Yi got out, opened the passenger door, and helped Shangguan Qianqian out.
'Uh… Old Lin.'
An Yi scratched his nose, unsure what to say.
Even though he couldn’t stand this poker-faced guy—
Cold, expressionless, and scheming.
Not only did he play dirty as a love rival, but he also kept threatening him with his staff, sabotaging his romance with Qin Yao.
Tonight, he’d even ruined his coming-of-age ceremony, showing up at the last second to stop him from losing his virginity!
But the fact remained—this guy had rushed from who-knows-where to save him.
He owed Lin Chen this favor.
Lin Chen stared at him icily. 'What do you want to say?'
'Well…'
An Yi scratched his head, conflicted.
Actually thanking this guy? The words just wouldn’t come out.
The night breeze grew quiet, brushing past them gently.
After hesitating for a moment, An Yi finally decided to speak.
'Lin Chen, thanks for helping me tonight—'
But before he could finish, Lin Chen had already driven off in the Tesla, the roar of the engine drowning out his words.
Clearly, the poker-faced man couldn’t be bothered to listen to An Yi’s rambling.
An Yi: '…'
Shangguan Qianqian watched him silently.
'Tch, that guy!'
An Yi coughed awkwardly, looking up at the cloudy sky. 'Nice weather tonight. So many stars.'
Shangguan Qianqian nodded. 'Mhm.'
In the car, Long and Hu glared furiously at Lin Chen.
'What the hell! We didn’t even get out yet! We’re sticking with Brother Yi!'
'Lin! Let us out!'
Lin Chen glanced at them through the rearview mirror. 'It’s been ten years since we last met.'
Long scoffed. 'Pah! Who wants to catch up with you?'
Hu chimed in, 'Yeah! We’re here for revenge!'
Lin Chen said calmly, 'I’m giving you the chance. There’s an empty lot ahead—we can settle this there.'
The air turned silent.
Long and Hu both paled.
Are you kidding?!
After seeing Lin Chen’s strength tonight, the two of them together wouldn’t stand a chance—they’d get slaughtered!
Long immediately grinned. 'Brother Chen, let’s skip the fight, yeah?'
Hu added flatteringly, 'Exactly! Ten years apart, and I’ve missed you every day in my dreams!'
Long argued, 'I think about you when I pee!'
Hu countered, 'I think about you when I take a dump!'
Long declared, 'I think about you when I’m getting laid!'
Hu blurted out, 'I think about you during threesomes!'
Lin Chen: '…'
These two bald monks… Maybe he should just kill them.
How the hell did the sacred grounds of Lantuo Temple tolerate them for ten years?!
'That damn poker-face! Never does anything decent!'
An Yi kept cursing as he led Shangguan Qianqian into the pitch-black hallway.
The motion-sensor light was broken, leaving no trace of illumination.
Shangguan Qianqian used her phone as a flashlight, scanning the shabby surroundings. 'You live in a place like this?'
'Rent’s free here. What more do you want?' An Yi rolled his eyes.
Now that he thought about it—
As a newly minted millionaire, maybe this place was beneath him.
Time to move out!
Clang!
An Yi pushed open the rusty security door.
The apartment was completely dark.
At this hour, Shen Muxuan was probably already asleep.
Shangguan Qianqian looked around the small space and smirked. 'The mighty leader of the Asura Sect is… humbler than I expected.'
'None of your business!'
An Yi flipped the light switch and raised an eyebrow.
Ding! [Kidnap the Chosen One] mission complete!
Ding! Evil Points +20! Obtained [Tiger Yang Pill] recipe ×1! Shangguan Qianqian’s favorability +20!
Hearing the system’s confirmation, An Yi finally relaxed.
Finally over.
He knew it!
Once he brought her home, there was no way the mission wouldn’t complete!
'Bringing me to a place like this… What are you planning?'
Shangguan Qianqian’s cool eyes gleamed with curiosity.
An Yi waved dismissively. 'You’re done here. Go back to Yunzhou City.'
Shangguan Qianqian: '…'
